GEN. CAss SUSTAINED IN ENeLAND.-The
English press continually sustains the doc
tines put forth by the Administration through
Gen Cass, that the naturalization of foreign
ers here does not relieve them of their alle-
glance to their native country. Once Cit
zen always citizen, is the British doctrine.
The locotoco supporters of the Administra-
ton, especially our dough-face contemporaries
will rejoice that their views are sanctioned
by the British press. They are so we'll sat
isied with the President and his Score tary
on the subject, that they will now probably
take one of them as their candidate for
President instead of Governor Seward, who
we are told on first-rate dough face auth Or
ity, was their choice short time ago.

An Irrcdeenlab bic Currency.


This State, Notwithstanding it possesses a
sound and reliable State Bank and Branches,
is cursed to a very great extent with the "s:ock
secured" irrcdeemable issues of Illinois and
Wisconsin. 1t is high time the people should
wake up to their interests in this matter, and
endcavor to drive out the issues Of these
swindling concerns until the Legislatures Of
our sister States compel them to redeem, as
they ought, with specie, or close up. We are
glad to see the Chicago Press and Tribune,
and other papers Of Chicago, enlisted in the
good work of endcavoring to reform this abuse
upon the people of the North West. In a late
issue of the Press and Tribune we find an,
interesting letter on the subject, from WASH
ington, in this State, from which we make the
following extracts:
"Let it not be said that, were these banks
forced to redeem in gold, there would not be
a sufticiency of currency to meet the wants of
the business community. For every Western
State, except illinois and Wisconsin, has its
specie paying banks, and is as well supplied
with currency as either. Wherever illinois
and Wisconsin paper forms the currency of
the country, the business community are
paying two per cent. more for exchange than
are the people of those places that are free
from the curse, and, as this paper is two per
cent. less than money, of course every farmer
and every man submits to loss Of two per
cent. every time it passes through his hands.
AS long as the people allow themselves to be
swindled by taking them and regarding them
as currency, so long they go and when the
people get tired Of so doing, and become will
ing to assume that risk, delay and expense of
presenting and protesting, then the Auditor
sells the Stocks and closes the affairs of the
bank, and how does the Stock Secured
currency of such banks turn out? The six
per cent bonds of Missouri form the greater
part of the security of the Illinois and Wis
consin banks. These stocks are now worth
eighty three cents on the dollar in New York,
and if any considerable amount was thrown
suddenly upon the market, they would fall to
much lower figure. With the depreciation
in value of the securities and cost of winding
up, which would be from ten to fifteen per
cent, it is apparent to every one, the loss to
the bill-holders would be not little
1.-THE duty of the people is to take this
money under protest, just as in community
where old boots or any other article was cir
culated as money the people might be
obliged to put up with it and endure the evil
for short time, but they would do it under
protest.
"The duty Of the press is to agitate the
matter-to make it subject for daily discus
sion-to hold it up before the people-to
exhibit it to them in every light. Thus, the
people will be led to look beneath the surface
of the specious stock secured and will real
ize the necessity of Immediately checking this
enormous and growing evil. And when
public opinion is fully turned against these
banks, they will have fearful antagonist to
encounter"

one of our Eastern States, who during
lis lifetime was as much distinguished for
his eccentricity as for his talents and for
the sincerity and fervor OF his piety, dined
on Thanksgiving day, with the senior deacon
Of his church. The deacon, being an old.
fashioned man, was in the habit at asking
blessings of most wearisome length. On
this occasion he was particularly prolix,
and finally was forced to pause to gain .
new supply of breath and words The
instant he stopped, the pastor sat down
and commenced rafting his knife and fork.

Thirty Battles for the South, and

Col. Holt, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Louisville District, (ky.,)
during speech delivered few days before
the election, was asked by Mr. Mallory if he
would vote for Mr.. Douglas, if he was nomi-
mated for the Presidency. Now mark Col.
Hollis reply:
"7hat God KNOBS he vould;; that he ,oas
willing to cote for any man ,Ohe had fought
thirty battles for the South and none against

The Louisville Democrat comments upon
the above as follows:
ut need not be said that this was received
with vehement applause. The name finds an
echo in the hearts of the people of the South,
and they remember with gratitude the services
of Mr.. Douglas"
General Dodge, Of Iowa, (remarks the Gate
Cstu.) stood side by side with Douglas in all
his battles for the South, and is entitled to a
secondary need Of applause. Thirty battles
