In last weeks Times appears a long
and strong. article d~enunciatory of the
resolutions and nominees of the 9Th JAN
uary Democratic State Convention, the
author of which, we have no doubt, is
our old friend " Uncle Ben . we'll known
in this community as an Old Hunker
Wing. The burthen of his complaint is
that our platform does not exactly suit
him. We are sorry for it, but still it
could hardly be expected that the plat
form of the Democratic party would suit
a regular Know Nothing and an old
Wing, both of which our good " Uncle
Ben !" is known to be.
Times amt now as they " used to
was" 1t used to be the custom of the
Wing party to make their nominations
on the 22nd of February, WAsHINGToN's
birth day. Now, however, they will
nominate just when the Know NothiDgs
tell them to, which will be some time
next Summer. The time and place for
nominating, u the men who are to be
nominated, must fist be determined on
in the "secret conclaUcs - before Wing
gerry viii dare TO move. Another fact,
which is little singular to say the least,
is that not a Wing paper in Ohio dare
say aught against the Know N~othings-
Free Sellers, have you ever thought of
this If not, it is time to open your
eyes and see, before you leap into a new
fusion the coming campaign.
In answer to that part of +" Cato's
remarks about Mr.. MORGAN, Auditor of
State, we respectfully refer him to an
article in another column which we copy
from the CzeveAand Herald, which, we
think, will settle his stomach. Remem-
Der that the Herald is a staunch Wing
paper.

it will find an abundant market. Ofgiv-
ing there Will be no end, and it will only
operate to induce ~improyidenee and de-
pendence en- the rich. There does net
after all, appear to be such a violent
anxiety to labor, on the part of the un-
employed. A down town merchant sent
word to one of the crowded indignation
meetings in the Park, that he would
give immediate employment to 500 ID
borers, at his store, at $3.50 per day
None came The opportunity of buster
ing and shouting in the Park was too
good to be lost. Yesterday, one of the
Park orators was pathetically relating
his own sufferings and describing his
diet of mush and molasses, and calling
for vengeance on the rich, when he was
interrupted by a fat broker from Wall
st. He offered to hire the orator at a
dollar a day to pile bricks from the old
City Wall ruins. There was no alter
native for the demagogue but compli-
ance, SO he went manfully to work, amid
the laughter and encouragements of a
large crowd Having labored half a

Benefits of a Hard Money Currency
in California

California is one of the States where
they have no paper eurency--where Bank
notes are entirely dispensed with. The
people keep in circulation the real gen.
uine money coined at the United States
Mint, and, consequently, they are not
subject to the ruinous /" expansions and
contractionsn of currency whose effects
are so %ruinous in other States. As in
Iowa, Texas, and Arkansas, SO in Cali
fornia, where the exclusive hard mon
ey," policy has been tried, works admi-
rably. We ask those who are friendly.
to Banks, and think they are an evil
that cannot be dispensed with, to read
the following. A Califo rnia eorrespon-
dent of the Boston Courier says.
at am happy to inform you that f.
nancial matters here are not so bad as
you represent them to be in the old
State. We have no bank notes to jump
up, or doa0n, but keep along in the even
tenor of our way, on a hard money cur
rency."
The New York Post, referring to this
happy state of affairs, says:
"The people of that State read of the
embarrassments, the scarcity of cash and
the difficulty of finding employment on
this side of the Rocky Mountains, with
somewhat of the same greatful feeling
of security that people have when they
hear the roar of the storm without while
ii. ey are snugly tucked up in their beds.
They are sorry for the poor fellows at
sea in such a tempestuous night, but
they have an agreeable sense of their
own comfortable condition notwithstand-
ing.
notwithstanding the constant ex-
portation of gold from California, it APP
pears that there is no scarcity of specie
for circulation. They have no bank pa
per, and the gold has never been expell-
ed from the circulation by an inferior
substitute. So it sho uld be here. If
there were not an actual depreciation Of
our paper currency at the present mo-
ment, coin would be abundant. It is
idle to argue about the matter-the
whole mass of our paper currency at this
moment is tainted with a certain dis
trust, and accordingly specie, as it al
ways does at such times, sinks out of
sight"
