THE CURRENCY.

Al this time gold may be said 10 be at a
discount Of 81 per cent, for there is that
difference between the standard Of gold and
silver in favor Of the latter. We hence hear
Of persons sending silver 10 PhilaPalphia to
have il sold for gold, and then exchanging
this gold for deprecated paper wherewi'h to
pay their accounts. Banks will pay Out gold,
hu. no, silver This condition of The cur
rency is brought about by the late heavy
influx Of gold from California, and illustrates
quite fully one Of the first laws of trade
hat the value 81 an article is regulated BY
the demand for ii. Itshows that Two kinds
Of currency, {as specie and paper,) will not
circulate freely together, when they are OF
mnequal value. That which is worth most
viii always be housed up, and the chsapes'
will ever Be paid oui first.
Die p~nadplent notion that there is not spe.
Gle enough ia the country for change and
that We mus have small notes is based on a
failacy which the above principle best ex.
yplsips. Specie will never circulate freely
whils tle country is flooded with deprecia-
tel bank notes, since every ragged dollar
Z bill locks up a dollar Of specie until the real
currency Of the country is all driven from
circulation. Specie and papsr will no more
samalgamaie as q currency than will water
) mis- vim oil.
But The facs noted above also illustrates
how an imitation OF he currency IN general
eheapens money and increases ne pree 2
every thing else. As an incrsase Q. gov
has reduced the value Of that metal, 50 ose'
an increase Of paper money depreeiate ITS
value MS compared with specie. At such
times tho debtors in the communicable
n.en who have been doing business upon
sothing-are benefited, since they are ena-
hled more easily 10 pay of their debts but
the real capitalists Of The country arc in fact
injured.

A RAILROAD CONVENTION is 10 be held on
the Sd Of May next at Georgetown, Northum.
berland County, Pa, which the Sunbury
Gazette says will be the largest and mosl
important improvement Convention that has
assembled in that section Of the State for
maay years. The principal towns in the
Susquehanna valley, and all, in fact, who
are interested IN the construction of o rail-
road from sunbury to Erie, VIII have fepre-
sentatives in this Convention. From present
appearances, the Gazette says, there is every
prospect that the road from Harrisburg TO
Sunbury will be put under contract at an
early day, as the right Of connecting the
York and Cumberland Road, with the Penn.
s~ylvania Railroad, is coupled with the. char
ter of the Harrisburg and Sunbury Road.
There are also provisions and conditions
connected with the charter of the Susque-
hanna and Erie Railroad, commencing at
the northern terminus of the Susquehanna
road, and terminating al Erie, which will
insure the completion Of one hundred and
sixty miles Of that road at an early period.
The conditions alluded 10 grant the right OF
way along the lake shore forihe construction
Of a road connecting the New York and
Ohio Improvements, but before this
lion can be commenced, forty miles at each
end Of The Susquehanua and Erie road, mus,
be completed before the connection can be
used. it will be- seen that The pros
poets are now bright for the early compile
lion of these great improvements, and all
that is wanting is harmony, energy, ano
concert of action.

FINDER this title will be published during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches oil American citizens who have become
ustrious in the service of the country. Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared To render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior TO those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, nade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame througbou the nation. Each of the great de-
partments Of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend Of our glorious MON, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so comnendable an
undertaking, that It's publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illstrious of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore
