GOV. BARRY'S MESSAGE--CONA
elusive ARGUMENT I'M FAVOR
OF A GOLD CURRENCY. ", u,

In his message to the Michigan Le-
gislature, on The subject Of the currency,
the Governor taxes correct ground. He
says: 'Individual liability is well
known principle Of law, applicable TO all
associations Of partnership, without cor
porate sanction; and see no reason why
4 should moi also be made applicable 70
all corporate associations" s7A ,eQS,N
Governor Barry rightly assumes that
the manufacturing and vending Of paper
money, whether the business be carried
on by the State, or by corporations un-
der its sanction, are most fruitful source
ofcalamity. That bank paper being eyi-
dence Of Indebtedness (much Of il, the
evidence Of hopeless bankruptcy, on the
part of those who have issued if,) the
various paper money systems, neither
have or can have any safe foundation,
and, wherever tolerated. is only "eyi-
dence Of public misfortunes." ,ssss
The great anxiety of bankers to furnish
a paper currency is not the result Of a
desire 10 confer abene6t upon the public,
but 10 secure advantages for themselves.
Wealth is the product Of labor; but wealth
has always, had perhaps will always have,
an inf renee upon legislation greater than
labor Of all schemes devised 10 secure
wealth without labor, the issue Of paper
money is best calculated 10 produce that
effect; and il is for this reason that 80
much anxiety has always been manifes-
ted for the establishment Of banks.
This result is inevitable, and ! have no
doubt that the advocates of paper money
so understand it. The plan of furnishing
public stock securities was adopted by
bankers as a measure necessary TO satisfy
public complaints, but under the hope
and expectation that some other exp
edicnt might in time be devised, and, in
the changes Of public opinion, success
fully offered as substitute. Indeed, the
inadequate supply Of public stocks being
apparent, and ihc future dimnulion OF
their amount certain, stocks Of municipal
and other corporations have already been
recommended, from high sources, TO be
substituted iE their place as proper
and sufficient security for the redemption
of paper money.
The immense losses heretofore sus-
tanned from failure Of banks and deprecia-
lion Of their paper, far exceeding all ben
efits derived from those institutions TO
admit Of no security Of fuctuating or
uncertain value, aLd which is not, at all
times, convertible into money without
loss. The insufficiency Of the security
proposed is SO manifest that reasons hardly
need be adduced 10 show il. The stock
Of one incorporation furnishing the capital
and security far another, would afford
ample provision for the multiplication of
banks and the increase of a paper circula-
ting medium, as worthless as il would
probably be plen,iful.--Toledo Repub-

THE NATURAL SCIENCES.
BY REV. J. H. wYTHEs, M. D.
THE EXTENT OF THE UNIVERSE

THE EXTENT OF THE UNIVERSE.
Until about three hundred years ago,
man was considered the most important
being in the universe; his earthly habita-
ton was looked upon as the grand centre
of all the planetary motions, To account
for which philosophers invented clumsy
and intricate piece Of machinery; while
the stars were supposed to be fixed in a
crystalline sphere, which encrcled all
like the walls of a prison. Copernicus,
An obscure Polish ecelcsaslic, who
died A. D. l543, a few hours after his
immortal work had issued from the press.
was the first TO attack the accumulated
errors of ages, and substitute the sim
plicity oftruih for The vain dreams Of
theorizers. The observations Of Calico,
who first applied the telescope to the
heavens, and the mathematical researches
ofKrpler and. others, prepared the world
Corihe reception oftrue principles; while
the labors of Sir Isaac Newton, and his
discovery Of the principle and laws of
gravitation, gave the certainty of dem
onstration to tho presen. theory OF the
Universe. Still, comparatively little was
done to investigate the extent of the
creation, until Sir William Herschel
brought the force ofhis original mind AMI
the ardor of his un,iring zeal to hear upon
this subject. His efforts have been sue
ceeded by those of his son Sir John Her.
schel, La Place, and others, whe have all
contributed to extend the boundaries of
our knowledge. At the present time
hundreds of astronomers are vigorously
employed.in exploring this yet unboun-
ded field of trnlh.
The earth and all the planets of the
group TO which it belongs, form but an
inconsiderable part even Of that portion
of the universe which is visible to the
naked eye: i, for beyond what the eye can
see. the telescope reveals to US millions
of suns, placed at such immense distances
from us that their light. which travels at
the enormous rate Of 100000 miles in
second Of time must take, hundreds
Of years to reach the earth; so that the
sentiment Of The poet is strictly true:
Yea, glorious lamps Of God he m ay have qdenched
Your ancient flames, and bid eternal nigm H.
Rest on your spheres and yet no tidngs reach
This distant planet. Messengers still come
Laden with your far fire, and we may seem
To sec your lights still burning; while their haze
But hides the black wreck ofextinguished realms.
Where anarchy and darkness long have reisned."
These numerous and far-distant suns
form but single cluster OF firmamen',
proving that the same harmonyand design
which we perceive in those parts OF the
universe more Immediately cogniz ible
to our senses, prevails also in the more
distant realms Of space. sF n fi
