Counterfeit Gold Dollar.

There is at present in circulation a
counterfeit gold dollar. 1t is made of
pure brass gilt. 1t differs but slightly
from the genuine coin, in its appearance;
though a close inspection of the wreath,
on one side, will show they are not exact
ly the same. The weight of this counter
felt is only l6 grains, while that of the
genuine is 29. The difference in weight
is such as to be plainly perceptible, on
comparing the two, Notwithstanding the
dimunitive size of the coins. The coun-
terfeitis dangerous one, from the fact that
being so small. it is not apt to be so close
ly scrutinized as would be larger coin.

well dressed men got into an omnibus,
and assuming opposite seats, accidentiy,

over the dresses OF two ladies who sat be-

they stopped the coach and went their
way. Soon the ladies wished to get out,
and the daughter putting her hand 10 her

prehensicn Of why he wills as he does. Iii said
men cannot servo God and Manmou. and though
the Truth of this is not denied. it is very possible
for mon to be willing to serve the slave as long as
they are also serving themselves and not be aware
Of how much Of the motive is selfish. For exam
pie, of the many thousands who have just voted
the Republican ticket in Ohio, If the naked cues

aud perpetual slavery, or disunion and immediate
Emancipation, how many, is it supposable would

If our sincere and honest-hcarted laborcrs for the
overthrow of slavery row in the Republican par
ty will seriously calculate this question, in view
of what they know 20 be probable, it may serve
perhaps to temper in some degree, the exuberance
of their Civilizations for their glorious Victory
A victory in which the slave. owners have far more
real reason to rejoice than they, since if their che
son leaders are true to their own public profess
sions aud pledges, the tyrant has nothing to fear
from them, whilst it affords him also another proof
that the masses of the people have again been en-
gagged in q struggle, to determine under what
name, and whose leadership. they shpll all serve
him. And thus it is he desires to keep them en-
ployed, for he can scarcely be without his pre-
m%onitions Of that coming day, when he will be
compelled to contend against that very political
power he now keeps amused and occupied in q
petty warfare within itself.
If slavery shall ever be abolished it will have
to be by those capable of rising above selfish con-
siderations, and willing to peril fortune and life
in the cause of Freedom. Many such there now
are doubtless in the Republican party, if they
could only be ireedfrom the delusive idea that tealty
to Liberty and to the Constitution are compatible,
and could learn the impossibility Of promoting the
one whilst they uphold the other. God speed the
day when they shall dissolve connection with Office
seekers and lukewarm and selfish opponents OF
slavery, and assist in educating the latter into
efficient and consistent co.workers for the liberty
of all. A. BROOKE.
