SILVER CHANGE.-Thc amount of $780,
600, in silver per month, now being coined at
Philadelphia is for the most part the property
of individuals, who, having virtually deposit
cd it in silver, for coinage, are entitled to
have it back in the same metal, less the
amount which they are to receive in small
gold coins under the Treasury regulations.
The Government is purchasing up old silver
us fast us possible, at the rate Of its real
value above the new coins; and as fast MS
they can so procure it, they are scattering it
through the country, together with their per
ccntafe of silver retained from the depositors
of that metal for which the latter take gold
in exchange. twill be evident, at glance,
that these arrangements embrace all within
the Treasury Departments power, in the way
of relieving the existing general pressure for
silver change, the total amount required to
that end being at least twenty millions.
The mint at New Orleans is now turning
ont some 100000 per month in new silver
coins. and there, as at Philadelphia, those en-
gaged in making silver money are working
night and day; two sets OF hands being en-
ploycd certainly at Philadelphia Washing

HARMONIOUS DEMocRAcT.-TheD Democrats
in Indiana are stirring up old feuds and pre-
pairing for free fight. The party in Cass
county has had two conventions. A portion
calling themselves "independent democrats"
held convention week before last, and the
other portion, under the name of Irregular
democrats" met in convention last week and
discussed matters of party generally, but eff
fected no settlement of political differences.
The independents declare their determina-
ton to fight against the old hunkers, and if
the tone of their resolutions give a true indi-
cation of the future, the upshot of the dis
putc will be Kilkenny affair. We here an
mex couple of the resolutions ofthe indie
pendents:
Resolved, That we abhor the fugitive slave
law and will not obey its inhuman demands.

Maine has been called by Gov. Crosby, to
meet at Augusta on the Goth instant. The
Commissioners chosen by the legislature,
with authority to purchase the Massachusetts
lands, have concluded n contract for this
purchase. This must, by its terms, be rat-
fled by the Legislature of Maine on or before
the 9Th day of October next. The legislature
is called together with view to this ratif-
cation. When it meets it is probable that
renewed attempts will be made for the cleo

remembered that at the last session, Hon.

s5 The course President Pierce has pur-
sued since the 4th of March shows in some
respects the force of the comments upon the
Inaugural by the London Morning Chronicle
of March IT, when it characterized it in the
following terms: "The Inaugural Message
of General Pierce, which we this day publish,
is probably the smallest sacrifice which was
ever offered by Il Democratic politician to the
principles of American Democracy. If the
abstract propositions were struck out, this
address would read like grave profession OF
conservatism from some statesman of the
school of Washington and Adams. Wher-
ever the new President has enumerated n prn-
ciple, it melts down to nothing in hisdescrp-
ton of its application. No sooner has he
sketched the bold outline Of policy, than he
takes up his brush and coIOrs with neutral
tint. Ii is obvious throughout his message,
that he is addressing himself in turn to the
various crochets which his party has from
time to time taken up, with the view Of CIV
ing fair notice to their votares that a com
plimentary alusion is all which they may eX-
pect from him."
