Wrtkly Grprfss,
RAG CURRENCY.

| Just before leaving our sanc.um last evening
a trio of our citizens called in and delayed us
for sose minutes in their animadvertions against
the recent appearance of so much paper money
in our midst.
We were asked why we did not pitch into the
matter and give the shinplasters particular thun-
der, not forgetting the sources of their emana-
tion.
Now we are willing to bear our share in what.
ever odium there may attach to the almost mys'
terious, and certainly very sudden appearance
of this SO much hated visitor "Rag Currency"
but we are not disrosed to bear with the male
dictions of those who seem to think that an edi.
tor must be held accountable for the existence of
every abuse or evil that may creep into our
midst. We dislike rag money as cordially as
our neighbors, but as yet We have experienced
none of its inconveniences, and never should,
were it not for our Merchants and business men
generally, whose duty and province it is, to con-
troll the currency of the place.
Who will tell US that the paper money at pres
ent in this market, could not at once be expell-
unanimi,y would refuse to recognize il as cur
rency? The reform is with them and rot us.
However, as the guardian of the public interest,
it is the duty of the press to attack every evil
that may manifest itself to the public, whether
in the shape of an odious currency or otherwise.
And now, that our attention has been direct
ed to the matter Of our present paper currency,
we take this opportunity to say that, our busi
ness men should take hold of the matter IN time,
and not spend their objections in mere idle mur-
mur and complaint AS one of the trio to whom
we have referred, very properly remarked last
evening, this matter is not The business of any
one merchant or other business man, or of any
one firm, it must be acted upon with unanimi-
ty that will guarantee success Let any one
merchant or firm stand alone IN his opposition
and refusal to receive such currency, and i'm
mediately hue and cry will be raised against
him, such as was raised against our City Treas
urer, for bis refusal-just and most rational re-
fusal-to recognize British soyeregns at fc'
titious value.
If the money with which we are threatened
to be flooded, was issued by unmistakaby sow
ent Banking Institutions, much Of the objection
to it would be answered by the fact of its being
so issued. The very opposite of this, however,
as the case there is not dollar of 1t that is safe
for man to keep in his house over night To
the laboring man, the farmer and mechanic,
who earn their livelihood by hasd and honest
industry, we say, beN are of this trash ! Do not
touch it with "forty foot pole, as the saying
is Let your motto be, s'hands off, and if the
merchants and others choose to deal in it, they,
and not the poor man, will be the losers.
The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1853-01-12
A USURY LAW.

Speaking Of the currency elsewhere in our
paper Of to day, has reminded us of the attempt
that is to be made by our Legislature to enact a
Usury Law.
We very much question the policy of such
step, though no one can more heartily despse
anything in the shape of usury than ourselves
In young Commonwealth like ours, the
resources of which have not yet as it were,
begun to be developed and all for the want OF
adequate capital, it may, with much propriety
be questioned, whether any real benefit can ac-
crue to the public, by the imposition of checks
upon the importation and encouragement of
capital within our limits. The greatest Difficult
ties that all new countries have 10 grapple with,
are those which are inseparably incident to the
absence of the capital required to meet the
wants of the people. This being the case, it
seems to US, that tiEstead of discouraging capital
from coming in amongst US, by tie imposition
of restrictions in the shape of usury laws, we
ought rather to open our arms wide fer its recep-
ton. and offer it the inducement Of an untram.
meled sway, which, cannot otherwise, than be
subservient 10 the public good. The more en-
couragement we hold out to capital, the more
we will have; and the more we have, the less
will be the interest which it will command
There never has been and never will be usury
law to accomplish the end for which it was de-
sipned. Under the old law in this State, with
all its severity, money always brought higher
interest than that which the statute prescribed
1t will be the same under every law Of the
kind Whenever money is needed the law will
be evaded. 1t has always been so, and SO it will
always continue to be.

BEAUTIFUL THaUGurs God has sent angf 8
into the world, whose office it is to refresh the
sorrows of the poor, and to tighten the eyes of
the disconsolate. And what greater pleasure
can We have than that we should bring JOY to
our brother that the tongue should be tuned
With heavenly accents, and make the weary
soul listen for light and ease and when he per-
ceives that there is such a thing in the world,
and the order of things, as comfort and joy; 20
begin to break out Of his prison of sorrows at
the doors of sighs ard tears, and slowly begin
TO melt into showers and refreshments-ths is
glory to thy VOC, and enjoyments fit for the
brightest angel. So have seen the sun kiss
the frozen earth, whicn was bound up with the
images of death, and the colder breath of the
north, and the waters break from their enclos-
ure and melt with joy, and rain in useful chan
nels and the flies do raise from their little gTav
es in the wall, and dance little while in air
that Joy is within, and that the great mother of
creatures will open the stock of her refresh
ments, becomes useful to mankind, and sings
praises to her Redeemer. So is the heart of a
sorrowful man; rnder the discourse of wise
comfort he breaks from the despair Of the grave
and the fetters and chains of SORROWS; he bles-
.es God, aud he blesses thee, and he'teels l4e

THE CUBAN TROUBLE ENDED.-We learn
by telegraph, says the Richmond Enquirer, "that
the Crescent City will hereafter be allowed to
enter the port of Havana, even though she may
have the renowned Purser Smith on board, with.
out molestation or hindrance? What now will
be thought of the ridiculous position of Presi-
dent Fillmore, and those who advocated his pol
lev, in reference to Mr.. Law and his steamers
The Captain General, who thought himself the
aggrieyed party, thinks the affidavit Of Mr.
Smith satisfactory but President Fillmore,
whose duty it is to protect every individual citi
zen over whom he presdes, and see that the
American flag is protected, does not think so
and was willing that a puslanimous foreign
power should dictate who are to be the officers
on board American vessels, even though they
may be in the service of the Government. Nc
such indignities were ever suffered by Demo-
cratic administration, and never will. Thank
God, Democrat will soon be President, when
our citizens will be protected, and our flag re
spected abroad.

How Many Hours is THE Sun FROM Us p
Why, if you were to send baby in railway
rain, going necessarily one hundred miles an
hour, without making any stoppages, the baby
would grow to be boy-the boy would grow
to be man-the man would grow old and die
without seeing the sun, for it is distant more
than hundred years from us. But what's this
compared with Neptune's distance? Had
Adam and Eve started by railway to go from
Nepture to the Sun, at the rate Of fifty miles an
hour, they would not have got there yet, for
Neptune is more than six thousand years from
the centre of our system.
