The Gold Dollar.

1t is proposed to coin gold dollars and hall
dollars in the form Of fat ring. This is a
good idea for half dollars but not for dollars and
the reason is, that the present form of the gold
dollar cannot be improved. People object to the
gold dollar because of its inconvenience and its
liability to be lost in consequence of its small
size; but, strange as it may appear, it is this
very inconvenience which makes it convenient!
In other words, if it were not for this incon,
venience, the object Of issuing them would be
defeated. The object Of issuing them is that they
should circulate freely, and that object is fully
attained A man having gold dollar and a
paper dollar will retain the paper dollar and pay
away the gold, whenever he has occasion to spend
it, for fear of losing it. Thus they constantly
circulating, everybody trying to get rid of them.
Whereas, if the gold dollar were not liable to be
lost, it would be retained as the silver dollar now
is, and the paper would circulate almost exclu-
sively. A sufficient number of gold dollars would
in all probability, drive the paper dollars out OF
circulation-"a contamination devoutly to be
wished"

Twenty-second OF February.

We find the following very appropriate remarks
in one of our exchange papers in relation to this
day. We admire the sentiment, and would that
all American citizens would appropriately cele-
brate the birthday Of the Father Of his Country.
Our citizens, with conimeDdable activity, are
making arrangements to celebrate it. What
Congress will do towards the making Of the
twenty-second of February, 1852, long to be re-
membered in this city, remains yet to be seen

TwENTY-SEooYD OF FEBRUARY.--The we'll
timed suggestion that the birthday of Washington
should be celebrated this year with a fervency
exceeding the usual manifestations of undying re-
gard and patriotic veneration, has, we are pleased
to say, met with an enthusiastic response from
all quarters of the Union. We hail it as an omen
of the good time coming, when brotherly love will
as of yore, pervade every section of the republic
when all geographical distinctions will be blotted
from remembrance and when every freeman, be
he from the North or from the South, will unite
in the patriotic acclaim, l am American

it can be done with scythe by the best Of now

The continued and increasing emigration to
California from the Atlantic States is subject of
general wonderment. There are thirteen steamers
running from New York, and it is said that all
their accommodations have been taken for every
trip till April. The Cherokee and Prometheus,
which sailed on Friday last carried out about
one thousand passengers, large proportion of
whom are reported to be enterprising persons, in
good circumstances, some being accompanied
with their families. California will soon become
great State among the States of this Union. II

mission into the Union few days ago!

Saturday last young colored man, name I'M
known, was seen wandering about Flat Rock, in
Roxborough, barefooted, and half naked. He
was delirious from the smallpox, under which he
was laboring, and no one would go near him. On
Monday afternoon he was found dead on the Flat
Rock road. His feet-one Of them particularly
were shockingly cut by the sharp stones Of the

came to his death from disease, neglect, and ex-
posture. The body was taken into the city and
exposed at the Green House for recognition.

We have a few words TO say IN regafu w oi0iA
ships under our government. Nepotism here ex-
lists perhaps in greater degree than even In any
of the monarchical and despotic governments OF
Europe or Asia A very large number OF the
clerical officers of this metropolis and in the COM
merciaI emporiums of the East and North hold
their places by the tenure OF relationship with
Senators or members Of the lower House, and it
is a we-known fact to all observers that there
are many families whose sons-even in some cases
to the number of half dozen or more in fami-
ly--live entirely upon the government. For ex-
ample: little inquiry win prove to any one
bers in the navy and army, fed, clothed and
educated at the public expense, while their bro
theirs, cousins, nephews &c., are in civil employ
ment in the bureaus of the several departments
There is, too, an immense inequality in the clerk
ships. The hardest workers get the poorest pay.
Some receive 1000 year for doing little else
than elegant nothing" while others receive but
$500 for toiling like galley slaves. Now, when
it is considered that these gentry assume a rank
according to the amount of their salaries, it will
at once be perceived that the poor clerk with the
small salary, especially if he has family to sup
port, must, in the social condition of things fall
far below his compeer who is better paid And
it is q fact Of notoriety, that very many of those
most poorly paid are far more competent than
many of the well-paid pets who are maintained

sometimes by a tenure eDen acorse
There is no abuse in our government SO abom-
Unable as that growing out of the appointing
power. Office has become in many instances but
the reward for the pimp and the parasite-the
moral as well as the political pimp; and,
with few exceptions, each succeeding Secretary
follows in the footsteps of his predecessors, and
gives his places in consideration of some services
to himself or his friends.

rupton has become corrupted and it is time for the
