We number of whg and free-soil editors at the
North advocating dissolution of the Union, and are
rather amused at their apparent idea that when they speak,
the entire sentiment of the people, North East and West
is proclaimed; for instance the New York Tribune and
its faithful echo the Ohio State Journal have presumed to
inform a the world and the rest Of mankind that the
idea Of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union is received with
particular favor by all citizens Of the United States north
of Mason and Dixons line Let the Tribune but make
ro-cnl and it will find that it is but comparative few
reckless spirits who ready to aye to dsunion

would at the ballot-box say separate is absurd and

EXTRAORDINARY COUNTERFEIT COIN.

We understand that under instructions of the Secretary
of the Treasury given months since to the mint of
the United States to collect specimens of counterfeit coins
in circulation for the purpose of examination and report
has lately been received of very singular character
It purports to be Of Mexican dollar coined at the city of
Mexico in 1851 Two pieces have been assayed and give
average ncness Of 776 thousandths and consequent
value of Oh cents in silver but strange say the amount
of gold contained in them is sufficient to add IL cents to
the value of each after paying the charge of separating
making value Of 1881 cents; and If to this the usual
premium silver is added the worth Of this counterfeit
coin is actually 100 cents! -
The quality of the silver in these dollars proves them
be aspurious issue There is also rregulary in the
letters MExIcAs which is regarded for throwing
them out learn from familiar with them in
Mexico where they appear TO have had at times consid

The silver produced by the Mexican mines Is understood
to contain gold but generally too small amount de-
fray the expense of parting In making the coins in ques
ton would that silver auriferous than usual
had fallen into hands capable of the double dishonesty
cheating Che public and themselves at the time.
Though there are probably specimens of this sim

ANOTHER ELEMENT OF AGITATION SUGGESTED.
The New York Tribune the withdrawal of Ger
rt Smith from Congress and couples with it suggestion
to his which have other object than 10
aggravae the South and contribute to the formation of
two parties based upon exclusively sectional grounds The
insulting suggestion will be found in the following para
graph:
Gerrt Smith has resigned his seat in Congress- to take eff
feet the close of the present session. We this with
drawal. Mr. Smith pre-emineny patriot, Christian,
and phlanthrops; and Of that stamp too
