COPPER CON NOT A LEGAL TENDER II
has been supposed by many, that copper coins
are a legal tendsr, to a certain amount but
the idea is erroneous. A letter from the Hon.
James Ross Snowden, Director OF the Z. >.
Mint at Philadelphia, has been elected by
recent inquiries upon the subject, in which
he says:
> The new cent is not legal tender for any
specified amount. Neither was the copper
cent of former years a legal tender for any
sum. They are "lawful coins, " and author
lied to "paSs current rs money" but they
are not expressly made legal tender in
payment Of debts. The Constitution of the
United States prohibits the States from max
ing anything but gold and silver legal
tender in payment of debts" This p:o-
hibition to the States does not apply ex-
pressly to Congress, but the principle per-
haps does At all events, Congress has new
er made anything but gold and silver legal

CONSISTENCY AND SINcERITY.-A man re-
Gently died in Bonneville, Missouri, leaving
property of $4,000, one half of which
was in six or eight negro slaves, to his -four
brothers and sisters in Maine, all of whom
were violent members of the anti-slavery
and Republican parties. After deliberating
on what was to be done with the estate of
the deceased brother, they concluded to have
the slaves sold and divide the proceeds. The
slaves were sold into bondage, and few
days ago an agent arrived at Bangor with
$1,000 for them, the price of the negroes
How difficult it is TO preserve consistency
where principle conflicts so powerfully with
self-interest.
