Just now there is considerable said by loco
foco editors and other politicians, in reference
TO hard money, Banks and Bank management.
Their whole aim and object is to divide the
Republican party, and we entreat Republicans
not to be gulied by them. 1t is mere "clap

not divert the attention Of sensible-hen frSm
the great National Issue.
1t is an old song that has been sung upon a
harp off thousand strings by the bogus democ-
racy. 1t has long since been supposed that that
party could not live but for its war upon Banks
and Bankers. Now that times are bard and
that there must be cause for it, the Bsnks accaSd-

WHAT BECOMES OF THE CALIFORNIA
GoLD?-The product of gold in Cslifor-
MIA, for 1856, was $77, ll4.858, of which
500, 1885, 1922, were exported to foreign
countries. 1t is largely transhipped from
Liverpool to London, thence to France,
Germany, and other parts of Europe, to
be manufactured into watches, jewelry,
plate, &c. Gold has become an article OF
product and export from the United States
as much as cotton, maze or wheat. Prior
to the discovery of the California mines,
the average export of the precious metal
was scarcely $5,Ooo,OOO per aunum-
now the average annual amount exported
exceeds 4O,0O0,00O.

Great Excitement at Hamilton
Attachment from the u. S Court
Disregarded- Marshalls Elliott
and Churchill Successfully Re.
sisted.

ana ChuICnlll OuCCeSSIully He'
sisted,
The exercises and festivities that prop
erly belong to Thanksgiving Day, were
provokingIy interfered with at Hamilton,
yesterday, in consequence of a collision
between officers of the United States and
certain private individuals of that place,
which, so far, has resulted in the former
coming off second best.
1t appears that N. P. Curtis, dry
goods dealer of Hamilton, being in failing
crcustances, undertook to dispose of his
goods in manner unsatisfactory to Eas
tern creditors. The latter employed
Thompson Il Nesmith, attorneys of this
city, and noted for being expeditions in
such matters, to take care of their inter.
ests. On Wednesday evening writs of at
tachment were obtained from Judge Nc
Lean, and were placed in the hands of U.
S. Deputy Marshal Elliott. who proceeded
to serve them yesterday morning.
In attempting to take possession of the
property Elliott was resisted, on the
ground that the goods had been privately
purchased by Mr., Beatty. Marshal e.
lott drew revolver, and succeeded in
getting possession Of the property. The
contesting parties, however, were not sat-
is6ed or content to permit the Marshal to
retain possession; and during the tempo
rary absence Of Elliott, they elected his
deputy and took full possession of the
house, guarding it with revolvers.
Additional writ having been placed in
the hands Of u. s. Marshal Churchill, he
also proceeded to Hamilton yesterday, to
execute the same, but he, too, was sue.
cessfully resisted, and he returnd to this
city last night.
tWrits will be, issued this morning for
arrests Of two of the men who were prin.
ciplas in resisting the authority of The u.
s Court, and these will be executed to-
day, if the parties do not absent them
selves, which is not probable. They will
be brought before Judge Mclean to an
swer for their conduct. Whatever may
be the merits of the case, the course pur-
sued was unqucStionably unwlse and I'M
proper
The greatest excitement prevailed at
Hamilton, The sympathcs Of the citizens
were on the side of the local creditors, as
against eastern creditors; but towards
night we are informed, a change was OBJ
servable in public sentiment,
We have given an outline of the par,

ton To permit the people to vote against as we'll
as for the Constitution. He regards this as in
violation Of the Federal Constitution, the Kan
sas Nebraska Bill, Of Popular sovereignty, an d
the right Of self government.
The Presidents opinion is that the Consttu-
tional Convention Is authorized by Congress-
lie is bound TO sustain its action, whataycr it
may be, while Walker holds the application ol
the Presidents doctrine, TO sustain the refusal
to submit TO the entire Constitution to popular
vote, to be simple assertion of the right Of
Congress to force any Constitution on Terri.

Constitution, and no body outside Of the Con-

Government to obtain copy failed
1t is feared that its signers will be driven
out of tho Territory, the Constitution will be
considered spurious, aud that the State Govern

Walker declares he cannot acouiesco in the
action of tho Convention without violating
the pledge he gave, and sacrificing his honest
CONVICTIONS, aud making himself Infamous. -
