The New Cent has appeared. and Mr..
Buchanan having now the staff of Office,
it is, we suppose, to be regarded as med.
al of the Republic for this age Of the
Slave Democracy. 1t mingles nickel,
pretence of silver, with the plain old
copper, which in more Spartan days
formed the simple butunmixed basis
of the inferior coinage of the confederacy.
1t is of the size of an Austrian Double
ducat, and may easily be mistaken to the
touch for foreign gold coin or thick
English shilling, if offered upon the eve Of
an election by one of the whippers-in to
some fresh slave democrat. 1t has the
eagle upon the wing in a new position, as
it were a filibuster in full fight, upon one
side, is finely wrought the denomination
of one cent upon the other in an oaken
wreath, we think not a chain with links
fattened forming the hand.cuf
y friend, not collector, reports his
series of the old cent as extending from
1895 10 1854. 1t shows three or four
styles Of impression, little varied but all
Of the same size, with the head of Lber-
ty and the word upon the face, and the
national name on the reverse with that Of
the coin. The former was a new device
Of the American coinage, authorized in
1856, giving no representation Of a reign
ing monarch, and showing no man as au-
thorized with the right of coinage by 4
free people but an impression of Liber-
ty, in the right of which they exercised
this act of sovereignty. To supersede this
souvenir of our early days is an act of in
difference scarcely excusable to the plea
of bad taste. The Eagle, as a bird Of
Empire, is delineated in full fight over if
not from the land of her dominion, with
out that repose of attitude and choice of
the olive-branch and arrows, with which
we were familiar. The old cent is favor
lite with the people of the North, the ear
liest type of money to them, in its gift of
answering all things, from the stick of
candy of the late President, to fsh-hooll
or sugar kiss, with that early sense Of
personal independence, at least as sacred
as that of the Union.
