t. d Suppression of Small Notes. s,sti ts
Mrs. F1cKL1N's ponderous and complicated
contrivance to effect an easy and a very simple
purposeinpw awaits the 4verdict Of the Senate.
The, House sanctioned it on Tuesday with a
force andr promptitude which reveal proper
appreciation Of the public determination to rid
the country Of at 1east1a portion of the pestife-
rous trash that emanates from this District I'M
der the guise of paper money. We do not
learn from the debates that the members who
spoke protested to comprehend the whole de-
taiisiof Mr.. FIcKLIn's bill; and it is to be pre-
sumed that they accepted it under the belief
thatazprolix act of Congress will be a smaller
nuisance than the deceptive ,9spromises to pay''
with which certain manufactures in Washing
| ton have flooded the adjoining States. Here
after, ifothe will of the House become law, the
utterers of notes in this District of a less de
nomination than five dollars will be liable to
imprisonment for term not less than ten
days nor more than one year, and also to fine
bnot less othan $50 nor more than $500 . and
| these penalties will extend to individuals or
companies not resident in the District, who
may select it as field for the exercise Of their
hawk-like propensities. a9za 4ggg53 4. sail sc,3
viii the Senate withhold or defer approval
| to,a measure having an object 80 commendable?
| We hope not. Many of the Senators, we
know, have on. every proper occasion evinced a
generous desire to promote the convenience and
the Interests, Of the city and District By sup
pressing these small notes they will confer upon
boothIHa blessing that will not be lightly esti-
mated.Io9 bah s:;c2 7913 ts02a hyri ( on lsj7,
There to be no doubt that negotiations are
in progress for the sale of the Washington Repu5
nc, for the purpose Of converting it into an organ
off the Pierce ADMINISTRATION. The Republic bas
been Of no. service TO- the Wing party. 1t led off,
three years ago, i'm a crusade against Governor
Seward and the Wing party, and was followed by
some half q dozen papers in this State. They have
effected the defeat of the party, but they have ut
teFly failed to reach the distinguished statesman
whom they ought to crush The party being in
a minority, they naturally coalesce with Locofo-
cosm.-- Rochester Democrat, ,s,,gs r. ,y,..
e Under the lead of the GEeat Mogul of the
Abolition press in New York, the minor Aboli-
tim journals in the State are raising an outcry
against tho Republic These sectional gentle
meR--these higher-law fanatics who would
break all constitutional obligations as readily
as 50 many Lies Of fax or packthread- have just
succeeded in accomplishing the most thorough
defeated the WING party that was ever vouch-
safed to any aggregation of politicians on the
face of the earth. # such Abolitionists
.can7manage to retain the name Of Wines, they
will undoubtedly bring about the same result
four years hence. 1t is we'll that they are
making this early exhibition Of the cloven foot.
The Republic and those who think whit are
old fashioned Wires Of the HENRY Clay
school, who retained the confidence and appro.
baton Of that distinguished statesman to his
dying hour. They believe in the Constitution
of the United States. and respect the ebligs-
lions it imposes. 1.-THE Eusnsng Journals, and
1 Rochester Democrats, and their allied presses
imagine that they can drive such Wines into
their abolition ranks, by persistiDg in the vul-
gar and vile abuse with which they have pursued
them for years. they fail to reason from the past
to the future. They have succeeded for a time in
driving thousands on thousands of good WsIes
into an unfortunate neutrality, and many into
active GO operation with what they have falsely
considered the party Of the Union. In spite Of
the, Journals and the Democrats, however, the
WIG party as awhole was, and is pre- eminent
~, the Union party of the country, and will so
prnvefitself swhen the WHIG Abolitionsts shall
aggregate with their natural allies, the Demo
cratic Freesoilers and Secessionists, to accom-
plish the disunion which narrow minded, local,
sectional men in all parts of the country are
conspirfng to bring about, a'i'Tnai7@1 'e:,TSatt
,, General PIERCE will be compelled to form
cabinet in which Secessionists and Freesoilers
Will enjoy a Preponderance Of, power. This
raises an opposition at once, which must rally
around the Old Vine organization as the strong
sssn the field. The Abolition Wines will
naturally sympa,hize with PlEacE's Disuaiou
lCsbinet.a 10 this way the opposition will get
rid Of such pestilent Abolition connexions as
have hitherto embarrassed and destroyed the
Vine party, and will then be strong enough
to overthrow The combined forces of the ,Seces-
sionists, Aboltionists, and all other Dis
unionists. T t..a I . ... I ..s .'. .t32..
