On this subject The Westminster Car

rolltonian says:
"The law went into operation on TUESDAY
AT our banks bu, few notes were presented
and there appears TO be an almost general dis
position to disregard lis enforcement. In all
business operations we havedscovcr' no more
change than if the law was not in existence"
The Cumberland Civilian saws:
Gu. citizens continue, we believe, very gen.
orally, TO receive and pay ont the small notes of
the Maryland banks. This iS very proper. The
restriction is evidently against their issue by
The banhS, and not against ihclr use by the pco-
pie, 50 long as they remain in circulation. The
best way, then. TO avoid the Inconvenience of
the law, is TO let the small! notes now in c!rcu-
la,inn remain out. for when once returned 20
The banks they cannot be rc-iSSucI. There Is a
similar law we are told, on the New York Stat
ute Book, but it has long been dead letter.
We hope this prodigy Of Maryland Legislative
wisdom will be treated with about the same Ie-
specl."
"a dead letter" ives, it is such USE
less, injurious, arbitrary, insolent and
ignorant acts OF Legislatures, that make
Legislation SO often farce, and tend to
Tighten the force of laws which are
wholesome and necessary; and the leg
ls'ator or editor, Who, chasing after an
abstraction, as in the case IN hand, adj
vocates such law, has not learned his
whole duty as a citizen, however flip
pant he may be as demaeogue.
10 say that gold dollars are prefera-
Bile TO one dollar notes, is to assert that
which is not sustained by fact. The
war against the small issues Of the Ma
ryland banks is part of the demagog-
ism that wars against all bank notes
and all banks, and it is nothing else.
! There was no cause for the enactment
of the law, in the wants of the people:
on the contrary, the people are opposed
to it, and so much is it against their in :
terests that in this section Of the State,
they think it more convenient not to
obey the law and risk the penalty; and
this they will do in spite of our preach
ing or the sermons ofThe Sun. 1t does
not suit every man in Cecil county who
has /, ., 8 or dollars in small notes to
run to Baltimore or Wilmington to get
them changed, and they'll not do it.
More than half the time, a bill of dol.
lar cannot be paid here by offering a So
note, because the change cannot be had.
All our extraordinarily wise Legisla.
tnre has to do Is to see that their law is
enforced; let the party passing small
note be made to pay the fine; then the
law will be sustained and justice &! sat-

GEN. PIERCE'S INAUGURAL.
Opinions OEiIse Press,

The Inaugural Address Of President
Pierce to his countrymen will be recev-
ed by then, we think, with very gem
eral APPRECIATION. We cannot with
hold from the President our grateful ac-
acknowledgements for the entire absence
of party animoSlty in his inaugural dis
course. 1t breathes the spirit of the
sovereign whom great English writer
pictured himself as the beau.deal of
chief magistrates-one who should be
"not the King of Wings, nor the King
Of Tories, but the King Of England.
Republic.
1t has evidently been prepared with
considerable care, and while Democrat
ic in its tone and doctrines, it is, on the
whole, eloquent and patriotic.
PHI. Ing.
The general tone of the Inaugural is
not altogether so grave and measured as
that we have been accustomed TO note
in the first formal address of President
of the United States; nor can we entire
~ justify 1t on the score Of perfect good
taste. There is N it too much Of the
man, too little of the Presidents; we are
not sure that the hypercri,ical will not
think it open to the charge Of esotism.
PhH. Gazette.
President Pierce's inaugural Address
is plain, straightforward, common
sense document, and, as such, is likely
to receive the unqualified approval of
the country at large. An Inaugural is
never expected to be much more than a
introductory to the new order of things
the party attaining TO power is presu-
med to establish; but, if the practice of
the new President is to be at all accord
ant with the professions protuSeIv en-
bodied IN the address he delivered yes
terday, there is reasonable ground for
the belief that he will be less the Presi-
dent of party than of the people.

He avoids, it is true, the Tariff Cur

roughly so as that of the National Bank

be thus regarded. Y. Times.
