one Of the many points connected
with this sudject,--the scarcity Of spe.
Gle as u circulating medium. There is
reason for this scarcity. Every bo-
dy knows. or may know that there is
now more specie in the United States
than at any previous time; yet it com
mands a high rate, and never finds its
way into the ordinary channels of
trade, except at premium. The rea-
son is self-evident. Being worth more
than the promisory notes which are
forced into circulation, tits withholden
for the sole purpose ofspeculation, BY
these same Bankers and Brokers, in
buying up their own issues; which, af-
ter having changed hands thus, some
thirty or forty times gives a net profit
of 100 per cent; or, in other words, un-
I'll every dollar has paid its first cost
simply in exchange. every dime of
which goes to swell the treasury Of the
Bankers, and comes out Of the pockets
of the victimized public. This. it
would not be unreasonable to suppose,
takes place. with the vas. amount of
paper money in circulation, once in ev-

longer or shorter. the people are thus
fleeced continually, to say nothing Of

National currency; let them use the
power and assert their rights, and we
may have it.
Let the American people have u
currency equal TO gold and silver. and
the specie will no longer be profitable
to retain it in the safes Of BaI ke and
Brokers; and the legitimate result will
be, it will be thrown into circulation.

A Case OF Clrcumstnntiai Evidence.

A Case OF fClrcumstnntiai Evidence.
In small town Of Saxony lived
three young men. whom we will cal
George. Ernest and Lewis, and VIII
from their infancy were strongly at
tached TO one another. George and
Ernest were merchants: Lewis studied
the law, and practised in his native
place.
One summers day Ernest and Geo
set out ..on horseback for a town about
thirty miles of. where they had busi.
ness to transact. Ernest was weak
enough TO be fond Of discoursing with
his friend on religious subjects. on
which they were Of different opinions.
and had often had warm disputes,
though George was as irritable and
passionate as he himself was obstinate
in maintaining his notions. Duiing
the journey Ernest led the conversa-
ton to this unlucky topic. They fell
us usual into alteration, which was
kept up ill they reached the inn where
they agreed to dine. The dispute was
continued over q bottle of wine. but
with temper on both sides; and the
travellers pursued their journey
Ernest renewed the subject Of their
former conversation, and both being
rather elevated with the wine they had
taken. the dispute became more and
more violent AS theyproceeded; so that
by the time they had entered wood
through which their road led, it had
degeneratedint downright personality
and abuse.
Georges passion knew no bounds;
unconscious Of what he did, he pulled
out pistol, and presented il at his
companion. The pistol went off and
Ernest fell from his horse. which,
frightened by the report and relieved
from his rider, scampered away into
the wood.
George, pale as death, Immediately
alighted to assist his friend, who was
weltering in his blood: the paroxysm
of passion was over, and had given
place to bitterest repentance. He
stopped trembling to Ernest, who just
then breathed his last sigh.
Overwhelmed with despair and an
guish, he tore his hair, and afterwards
galloped back to the village, TO sur
render himself into the hands Of justice
as the murderer of his friend. that he
might put q speedy end TO life which
was now the most oppressive burden
to him. The officer to whom he de-
livered himself up sent him under a
guard to the town where the friends
resided. The body of Ernest, whose
pockets were found rifed. was also
conveyed thither and inferred.
The legal proceedings against Geo.
commenced. He repeat, d his confess
sion before the judges. and mplored II
speedy death. His examination was
closed. and he was informed that he
was al liberty to choose an advocate to
defend him, as The law requires; but
he declined to avail himselfoi this priv
ilege, and with tears besought the
Court to hasten his execution.
Being however. again urged to ap-
point an advocate to conduct lis de-
lence. he named his friend Lewis
"At the same time" said he still.
