large. or has SO many inhabita 10 as is repre-
sc nted.
The people of this city are de m ned that this
matter shall not stem as it is. This metropolis
being the commercial emporium of the whole
country, is Justly entitled to n int. The wants |
and convenience of our citizens demand and re- |
quire il. and sooner later We must have it-not
branch mint-but the removal of the mint in the
village of Philadelphia to New York. The wants
and requirements of that village are small. She
has no steamships arriving at her wharfs every
other day, nearly, with gold dust to the value of
millions Of dollars She has no ste am marine at ALL
except a few coasting vessels, albeit Scotch pro-
peller stops there occ ally as stage coach stops
al village hamlet TO drop, and take in, fewpas-
sengers. II is foyt, keep the mint in such place.
Hereafter therefor 1.-THE efforts Of our members of
Congress be directe to the procu ng Of the p S.
sage Ct bin for moving the mint in h. vil-
lsge of Philsdelp ia to New York, and nothing
less. 1t can be II. cted for we are credibly in
formed, if bill of hiskind had been urged during
the present session it would have been carried;
because, in comm with the whole country,
many of the members of the House of Repre-
sentatives are in favor Of removing the mint
TO this metropolis, and would vote for it; but they
would not vote for continuing the mint in Phila
delphs, and establishing branch in New York.
ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR Accord
ing TO the most Ieliable accounts Mr.. Beekman,
Senator from this city, who defeated the election by
the Legislature of this State of Mr. Fish as United
States Senator is determined to adhere to his posi-
,ion and not TO vote for that gentleman. This will,
OF course prevent any election; and, as the governor
cannot be called upon by precedent to make any
temporary appointment to fill the vacancy that will
occur by the retirement Of the Hon Daniel S. Dick
lnson, whose term will expire with the present
Congress, on the fourth of March next, New York
will be unrepresented until an election is made.
In taking upon himself the responsibility of act
ing as he did, Mr., Beekman, no doubt expected that
he would have all the Seward press throughout
the length and breadth of the State bowling at his
heels, and accusing him of reachery, desertion Of
his party, and want of principle. In this he has not
been disappointed. Tray, Blanch and Sweetheart
the Erentng Journal, Courier and Enquirer, and
Irtbune--snd all the smalle. papSs OF the
wing abolition press, have assailed him with
charat ter stlc vetemence, and WILL no doubt,
continue 10 assail and denouace him as loag as he
occupies his seat in The Sen te at Albany. He
need not care, however, what those journals may
say OF m, II what Interpretation they may pat
upon his motives "a long his conscience tells
him he &C. properly in defeating The cleo ion OF
q man 10 tie United States Senate, who would

and, although h may be denounced by the Seward
press, n conduct will be properly appreciated 6y
