THE MOST SPEEDY AND pl,ACTr.
b FOR THE SM
NOTE PESTILENCE.

We observe, by the Cincinnati Ga.
zette, that the Enquirer of that city re-
commends, as the most effectual and
speedy meaDs of abating the small note
nuisance, the imposition of such a tax
by Congress, upon all bank notes Of a
denomination of twenty dollars and un-
der, as will compel their Withdrawal
from circulation.
We are glad to learn that ajournal OF
the ability and influence of the Enqui-
rer is urging this great measure of Re-
form. We advocated, some three or
four years ago, when the cloud which
now overshadoWs the country vas no
larger than ga mans hand" in several
elaborate editorials the application of
this remedy. We hope the Enquirer
will be more successful in gaining the
attention of Congress and of the coun-
try. It has undertaken the task at a
propitious time.
Some twenty years ago the enemies
of Mr.. BUCHANAN alleged that he was a
hard money a We do not believe
the allegation ever injured him. If we
remember rightly, he virtually pleaded
guilty, land justified" Mr.. BUCHANAN
would be faithful to all his antecedents,
if be would end this measure to
the consideration of Congress. 1t would
consummate the JACKSON policy, which
was inaugurated by the veto of the mon
sster bank, and which, SO far as relates
to the finances of the general govern
mont, was perfected under the admins
tration of Polk in the establishment of
the Constitutional Treasury. 1t would
give to THE PEOPLE, as well as to
the Government, an honest currency
It would enable the people to realize
what Gen. JACKSON, in his celebrated
letter to MosEs DAWSON, insisted on in
their behalf, namely:
"Give them an honest Government,
freedom from Monopolies and Priui-
legged Glasses, and HARD HONE
moi PAPER NONE Yfor their
hard Labor, and all mil be 1ceH."
There does not exist on the face of
the earth a people SO bank-ridden as
those of the United States. And there
is no country upon the civilized portion
of the globe, where, from the character
of their institutions, their industry and
wealth, there is so little excuse for the
existence of this evil. In Great Britain,
and in most of the countries upon the
Continent Of Europe, they have no bank
mates of a denomination below twenty
dollars. Gold and silver are used exelu-
sively in all transactions between the
retailer and consumer, and in the pay
ment of wages. In this country we
should have no bank notes below fifty
dollars. Let Congress tsx out of exist
ence all below that denomination.
w hope that one of the first measures
Of the Democratic Legislature will be
to instruct our Senstors in Congress upon
this subject. 1t is a measure of relief
and justice to the producing interest of
the country clearly authorized by the
Constitution-that has the authority OF
precedent-and would be speedy and
efectual in its results

of October, and will be held day, instead Of two
State officers, congressman. and members of the
Legislature only will be chosen, The sense of the
people will also be taken upon two amendments to
the constitution which have been submitted to them
The first amendment proposes:
the term of office of members of the legislature shall
be for the period fixed by the constitution and shall
commence from and after their election and expire at tho
next general election thereafter at which their
are elected"
This amendment is necessary to carry out the

annie the coarse wool of this country, which enters
largely into our manufactures Remove entirely when
imported from Morocco in American bottoms, the duty
from this article and that direct trade which twenty
four years ago existed will again spring up The great
market for the wool of Morocco is the United

English vessels make monopoly Of the carrying trade
