bat will the producsion Of silver continue sta
tionaryf For II 10 plain that the mere increase Of
the production of gold will not necessarily alter the
relative price Of the two metals but that such An
increase Ia the production Of silver may also take
place az will maintain the relative value pretty
much where il 10. This, we think, not altogether
an unlikely result. That there will be very
tensve increase in the production Of silver, what
ever may be the fate of gold, we have no doubt
Those who are at all acquainted with the history Of
Mexico and the minicg countries OF South America
are well aware Of the great influence which the
price ofquickslver has exercised over the working
Of the mines, and the quantity OF silver produced
from them. California promises to furnish an un-
limited supply of this material, so important In
mining. A letter from MIR. Burnett, the Governor
of Gallon MIA, has recently been published ut
silver mine of New Almaden, within twelve miles
of this place, s valued ut several millions OF dollars
In a few days, Mr. Forbes informs me, they will
have twenty six retorts in operation, and will ex
tract 600 bs. daily, worth from 900 to 50OO-
than ,000, 900 annually This is only one OF
the several mincs, but it ia the largest" The
effects this supply of quicksilver already
beginning to BE felt. We hear from the western
coast Of South America that considerable quant-
ties have already been received there; that great
reduction Of price 10 expected; and that already
arrangements are being made both there and in
Mexico to reopen many mines which have long
been closed, only on account OF the high price of
quicksilver. The great demand and the high price
which have recently been experienced in Europe
for silver will, doubt further stimulate the pro-
duction. Should this view Of the subject prove cor
rect, then, while there may not be any very i'm
portant change in the relative price Of silver and
gold, there will at least be very large increase in
the quantity of BOTH and consequently slow but
certain reduction in their intrinsic value.

The steamer Atlantic.

The Liverpool Mercury of the 3lst says the
United States mail steamship Atlantic, Capt
WEST, left the Mersey on Saturday, the 2Sth
ult., for New York, with the usual mails and
fair complement of passengers, being the second
American departure thence on Saturday since
| the opening of the winter season. The same
paper states that she was passed during the
evening off the Bell Buoy, by the mail steam
| ship Asia, She is therefore now out TWENTY
two days, and her non-arrival creates great
deal of painful anxiety. 1t is conjectured that
she may have gone to replenish her coal either
at the Azores or at St. Thomas, or some other
| of the West India Islands. The New York
| Tribune states that the United States was
twenty eight days on her last voyage from Eu-
| rope, and thinks there is no cause for anxiety
on account of her delay.
The Union, of this city, strengthens our
| hopes by the following announcement
| :" This vessel has been due some days, and the
fact that she has not yet arrived begins excite
| uneasiness. In order to relieve in some measure
the anxiety of those who may have friends on board
of the Atlantic, would state that every possible
means Of safety in case of accident was fully pro-
vided by Mr.. Collins. We understand, from re-
| able authority that the Atlantic has pumps sufi-
GENTLY powerful to flood the ship in Gaze of fire,
and metallic lfe-car to land through any surf
| Besdes che has six of " Frcmer's metallic fire.
| proof life boats' of immense power and size.
Three of them will carry hundred persons each,
and the boats cannot be submerged. The Allan
tic has boats in all; and too much praise can
not be given to Mr. Collins for his thoughtful pro-
vision for the safety of his passengers in OF
| those unavoidable accidents which may happen TO
all who go down into the deep in ships.''
| The following are the names Of passengers,
(which we find in the New York papers, but
whether the list includes the whole number or
not, we are not informed:
"W. A. Wheelock and lady, New York; w. f.
Case and lady, New York; j. II. Easter, Balti-
more; X. H. Harris, l.. Pottinger, c. c. Hatch and
lady, New York; II. p. Walker, Mr.. Butterfeld,
Mr.. Sutton, +. II. Griffin, ID. Rankin, G. b. Reese,

Schroeder. Mr.. Schlieman, Mr.. Klacncr, w. Ben
jamin, jr., New York, G.. Mackenzie, J. S. Lowe

Reciproclty.

History presents to our view few instances
Of greater consistency than that manifested by
the Democratic party in yielding to all the de-
mands of Great Britain, even when compliance
must necessarily be attended with ruin to our
best interests. At her order the party gave up
$40 40', and thus yielded the claim to large
territory, the right to which had just before been
asserted as undoubted At her order they is
sued mandate under which the mills and fur
naccs of the country are being closed. At her
order the farmer of Canada is to be placed on d
footing superior to our own, and to enjoy all the
rights appertaining to citizenship, without being
required to perform any one of the duties it i'm
poses. Modern Democracy appears to consist
chiefly in blind and undertaking submission
to the viii Of Britain, while Wing doctrine
looks to the reasserton of the right OF resist
ance, thus following in the footsteps of the
men Of '76.
Our attention has been again called to this
subject by several excellent articles that have
recently appeared in the Rochester Democrat
all of which we would gladly republish could
we find place for them. The constant pressure
on our columns, however, forbids that we should
do more than call attention to some facts thai
can scarcely fail to be interesting to our agri-
cultural readers-those readers who are likely
under Democratic rule, to be deprived of all the
protection they now enjoy, even under the ex
listing revenue tariff.
The quantity Of Canadian wheat flour being
reduced TO wheat, after the usual method, i'm
ported into the three ports Of Buffalo, Oswego
and Ogdensburg, in the last year, was 2,725, 9St
bushels, being little less than twice the quantity
imported in the previous year. The value of i'm
ports at those ports and at those of Platsburg and
Burlington, exceeded $3.50 900, and consisted
almost entirely of agricultural products-wheat
-four, rye, oats, peas, beans, butter, wool. lum
Der, &c., &c.-being the identical articles t
obtain a market for which, as we were told, i
was necessary to close our mills and furnaces
and thus destroy the great domestic market
and yet it is here established that, broken dowI
as it is by Democratic policy, our own marke
is better than any foreign one.

Railroad To the Pacific.

Mr.. WHrrNEY's lecture at the Hall Of the
House of Representatives, on Saturday eve
ming, in explanation Of his great railroad pro-
ject, was listened TO by large and highly re-
spectacle audience, among the most attentive
of whom we noticed distinguished members Of
both houses of Congress, Judges Of the Su
preme Court, and many other persons Of en-
inence. Several ladies also graced the oc-
casion by their presence. Mr.. WHITNEY
set forth what he conceived to be the true OBJ
jects and uses of railroad to the Pacific; ex-
amined critically the various routes and plans
that have been proposed for its construction;
pointed out the advantages of his own plan,
and answered some Of the principal objections
that have been urged against it, The lecture
was very interesting one, and, so far as we
had an opportunity of Judging, was received
with great satisfaction.

NEwsrAPERs.-The Columbia g. 81 Telegraph
says the truth ia beginning to be understood, that
editors and publishers producers, and that they
are entitled to compensation for services rem
dered, or for articles furnished by them. news
paper is commodity in which are involved all the
usual clements of cost, and the purchaser con-
sumner should expect to pay for it accordingly. No
class of men expect to be furnished gratis with
shoes, hats coats, Sc, and no gentleman calls on
his neighbor after breakfast habtualy to borrow a
pair of boots. When people once learn the simple
truth that the maker of newspaper looks to it for
his living, the once fashionable practice OF borrow
ing newspapers, or of borrowing space in them
will be discontinued. Our brethren OF
the press can do much in bringing about proper
recognition of their rights and trust they will dc
so speedily.

LIBERIA EsnoRANTs.--The Colonization Journal,
in noticing the sailing Of the Liberia packet on the
2lst ult., with 80 passengers, says:
"a very great proportion Of all the emgrants
were adults, nearly four to one-and majority OF
them males We believe most Of them were free,
and went entirely of their own accord, influenced
only by reports of their friends in Liberia. We
have seldom seen company Of cmigrants of so
much promise; several OF them now go out for the
second and third time, having returned 10 this
country for their families and friends. Among
them is MIR Cassell. now holding the office of judge
of the court Of quarter sessions at Cape Palmas.
He frst emigratcd in 1893, and one of the
founders of Maryland in Liberia After residence
OF six or eight months, he concluded that he could
do better in Baltimore. He returned and practised
his profession barber. But he had tasted free
dom, and could not endure TO be fingered again;
So in lS4S, he al andoned his trade, which had be-
come lucrative, and returned to Cape Palmns. His
family now go out with him."
