of $500 each. well as to purchase at once four

Lord MACAUI.AY has two volumes more of his
History of England nearly ready for the press
but it is believed that they will not be published this
season. The great care which the noble author be-
slows on the work before it finally leaves his hands
necessitates some delay. 1t is said that these two
volumes bring the history down to the accession of
the Tories to power in the latter year of Queen
ANNE's reign.

subject of the currency, written by Gen WAsHpSo-

NouNT VERNON Feb. y, 1881
DEAR SIR Your favor of Both ult, came duly to
hand. To give an opinion in a case of so much i'm
portanCe as that which has warmly agltated the two
branches of your Legislature, and which from the
appeal that made is likely to create great and per-
maps dangerous divisions is rather delicate mat
ter but this diversity of opinion is on subject
/ which has. believe, occupied the minds of most
men, and as my sentiments thereon have been fully
and decidedly expressed long before the Assembly,
either Of Maryland this State, convened, |
| do not scruple to declare that, if had voice in
| your Legislature il would have been given decided
y against paper emission, upon the general prln-
ciple of its utility representative and the ne
| cessty of il a medium. To assign reasons for
] this opinion would be as unnecessary as tedious
the ground has been often rod that place hard
y remains untouched-in a word the necessity arls-
ing from want of specie is represented as greater
than it really Is. / contend that II Is by the sub
stance, not the shadow of thing that we are to be
| benefited.
The wisdom of man. in my humble opinion can
not at this time devise plan by viii n the credit Of
paper money would be long supported; conse luent-
| iy depreciation keeps pace with the quantity of
emission and articles for which it IS exchanged rise
to greater ratio than the sinking value of the mo-
! ney. Wherein, then is the farmer, the planter and
artisan benefited, The debtor may be, because as
have observed, he gives the shadow in lieu Of the
substance and in proportion to his gain the creditor
or body polite suffers. Whether legal tender or
not it will has been observed very truly. leave
no alternative. 1t must be that nothing. An evil
| equally great is the door it Immediately opens for
speculation, by which the least designing and per-
haps valuable part of the community
preyed upon by the more knowing and crafty spec
ulators. But, contrary to my intention and declar
alton, am offering reasons in support of my opin-
ion reasons ftOo, which, of all others least
pleasing to the advocates for paper currency. l
shall, therefore, only observe, generally, that
many people have suffered by former emissions,
that like burnt child who breads the fire, 60 per-
son will touch it who can possibly avoid it, the nat
ural consequence of which will be, that tine specie
which remains unsupported will be instantly locked
up.
With great esteem and regard, am, dear sir. &C.,
