Death Of James G. BirneY.

We have intelligence of the deccas.
of James G. Birney, formerly Liberty
Party candidate for the Presidency
He died at Eagleswood, Perth Amboy
n. j., on the morning of the 25th ult.
at the age of 60 years. For twelve
years past he has suffered from at
tacks of paralysis, which had lately
been complicated with heart disease,
and aggra waited by the infrmitics OF
old age. Mr.. Birney was born at Dan
vile, Kentucky, in 1893. He gradu-
ated at Nassau Hail. New Jersey, and
studied law with Mr.. Dallas in PhIa-
delphia. At the age of % he became
planter in Alabama and the owner
of thirty-five slaves, but soon after
ward entered upon the practice of his
profession again at Huntsville, Ken
lucky. In ls44, when living in Mich
igan, he became the Liberty Party"
candidate for the Presidency, and has
been thought by the friends of Mr..
Clay to have largely contributed to
his defeat. Since that time the public
have rarely heard of him. That his
youngest son might enjoy the advan-
tagcs Of Mr.. Theodore Yields school,
and that he might be nearer the friends
of the reforms which he had much at
heart, he removed to New Jersey. Mr..
Birney has been twice married. His
second wife, who is a sister-in-law
of the Hon. Gerrit Smith, survives
him.

The WEArHER.-With the exception
OF a few cold days two weeks ago, the
weather thus far has been quite mild
for the season. For several days the
ground has been mostly bare and there
was little frost in it. On Tuesday,
however, there was a light fall OF
snow, covering the ground to a depth
OF about two inches-not enough for
good sleighing.

The above exhibit gives the circula
ton, and does not include the speci
in banks and sub-treasury which hav
an increase over ls4s of $50, OOO, OOC
being more than the entire expansion
of paper. That is, while paper ha
increased s3s, 5000, 900, specie has in
creased $l60, 0OO,O 900, and now stands
not less than $l70,0O0,000, withou,
reckoning the vast amount which has
been brought into the country by emf.
grants, which cannot be less than
$5O,0O0,0 600 over outgoes. This would
show a specie increase in the country
of s220,000,00O!
Now, we would ask our anti-bank
croakers, which has had the effect to
raise prices and stimulate speculation
most, paper money or gold? This
same thing has been operating in 9th
er parts of the world, in like manner
as here. The production of gold and
silver from California and Australia
has reached the enormous amount of
about 81 ,OoO,0OO,OOO!
This vast increase of gold has had
the effect of increasing the price of
real estate, as well as the price of
goods, both domestic and foreign,
throughout the United States and Eu-
rope. Hence the great drain of spe-
Gle from Europe to the East. We be-
ing nation of elastic elements, have
had the first rise, and this has caused
vast increase Of importations, con-
centratlng IN our great cities, but
mostly in New York-causing great
exertlons to sell upon unlimited cred
1t. The jobbers in turn have pushed
OIL all the goods possible, into the
West, causing great speculation in
lands, railroads, steamboats,, stores
and houses. Hundreds of millions Of
dollars OF capital, obtained in goods
and money, have been invested in
Western property, large proportion
Of which is already sunk. Specula.
tors, loafers and reckless men. owe
the local merchants, and cannot nav
them. The greater portion of our in.
dustrious agricultural population, the
people who own the wheat, corn, pork
beef, Nc, do not owe the money, and
will not sell their produce unless it is
paid for in money.

Banks.

There are no banks established in
Iowa. Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi,
Florida and California. The present
financial troubles are testing the util-
itv of the banks in other States, and it
remains to be seen whether "down
with the banks will be war cry of
the Democratic party now as in former
DAYS or not. In most of the States
we believe the banks are sound and
are established upon firm basis. In
this State our people appear to have
full confidence in the stock secured
banks of Illinois and Wisconsin, and
are using the notes of those banks more
generally than those of any others.
Had Iowa banking system of her
own, she need not be dependent upon
the currency of neighboring States,
and Just now bank facilities would be
rather convenient in the purchase Of
agricultural products, and thus ena'
bling farmers and others to discharge
their debts. A small amount of mo-
ney put in circulation in each county,
would enable the people to pay their
debts and make them feel comfortable
all around. In order to do this, as
times are now, it appears to us that
local banks are requisite. So long as
we are dependent upon foreign cur
rency we are sure to be subjected to
periodical drains of all the money il
our midst, and then we are left with
nothing with which to carry on bust
ness.
If it is replied that the national
currency, specie, is all-sufficient, we
answer, experience has shown that
the specie will not remain with us,
but bank notes, when carried away,
are certain to return.
While upon this subject we wish to
call attention to another point. An
impression apears to prevail that our
money panics are caused by the use
of bank paper. This idea we consid-
er erroneous. Is it not more correct
to attribute the present embarrassing
state of the times to the excessive
issue of specie rather than paper mon
cy? The expansion of paper curren
cy has not been great, but that of hart
money has been enormous and W,
put it to every candid man in the Yves
to answer whether it was or was no
the ease with which gold coin could be
obtained that has stimulated specula
ton in Western land, and in it's train
brought on all manner of other spec.
u1ations. Let us compare figures and
facts:
