How Missouri Money II Redeemed.


lFrom Tia III tou.i Demoaat, 17th.]
We regret to stst5 that the war between Tie
Banks and the audarious holders Of their bills
still continues. Tht weapons used By the an-
tagonlsts are, howe.er, very different. The bill
holders present thei: legal claims, small rectan-
mobbed; They ask br money and get rocks in
return, but not thosemetaphoricalr rocks which
returned miners curri in their pockets. In 9th
er words, they are literally stoned. The coun-
tFy banks Of this Stte rest on q solid basis Of
bpulders. They are found to be an excellent
Substitute for coin and bullion. We are inform
ed that on Saturday hst the strongest assuran-
ces were giren ia Chillicotle that this noyeispc-
cIes Of funds would he dealt out literally to any
person who would PRESENT bills for redemption
10 the State Bunk, located in that important
city: A gentleman from this city, laboring TIN
der lan,entablc ignorance Of tle financial Gus"
toms Ut otCh1lcothe, Presented bills to the amount
OF III 900 to the baak. When he had received
s3oo IN silver. he foand the banking room filed
with the 4igh-spirixd Chiicothians, who first
threatened to stone him, and next (suddenIy as
cendlng to the highest sullimitcs of the Lynch
Codc) offered him the agreeable alternative Of
!eavln:, town in fife minutes, or Of submitting
to dlslocatlon OF the neck By the well known
pr"ccss OF hanging. preferring summary exile
from tue pleasant ftlunts Of Chllicothe to sum-
mary execution f1pm The limbs Of one of the
trees which adorn the streets Of TINT famous
city, he proceeded TO St. Louis with all possible
dispatch: The bank won glorious victory, and
the multitude rejoiecd. Who will dare hence
forth TO nuke sacreligious war on the banks, or
ask these Institutions to redeem their promises
TO par? The golden trust of the lIesperi2es
was never more for,nidably guarded than tie
golden coins which are cof1ered in the State
bank Of Chillicoihe. Unfortunately, the coins
belong to the simple minded citIzeIs Of st.
Louis, who for q considerable time have been
aoundeFing in The absurd error that country
banks, BY their own promises to puy, broadly
engraved on their bills. aud By the laws Of the
state. are obliged 10 redeem those bills. E1pe-
r'ence, we presume, will dispcl the illusion. It
will also teac!. them that the presentation Of
bill to country bank, places them Instantly in
state Of war with that bank. and with the in-
stitutlons Of the State senera1ly-a predicanent
very trying to law abiding citizens. We can see
no remedy for this state Of things until the peo-
pie treat the bills Of these bapk as pictorial
pictures; instead If the portraits with which
they are now adorned, the grim = isa.e Of Judge
Lynch should look ont from each Of the lower
corners, connected diayonally By the motto,

and moro consequence every day, and in just
the proportion that tho Democracy clamor for
the re.opcning Of the Slave Trade, the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba and tho annexation. Of territory
for further slave occupation will it rise in in,-
portance. Two undeninble facts establish the
wisdom and feasibility Of the scheme: tile
prime necessity Of getting lid Of tue major por-
.ion if not the whole Of our slave population;
and the adaptedness Of Central and South
America in soil and climate, to the colored

taken this will be one Of the prominent issues

very noticeable fact in these statistics is
the relatively large number Of persons added to
the Old School body on examination being
nearly double thot added to the Congregational
Churches, though their whole membership is
only 10000 less,-ana being o,e4o more than
double the number ndded to the New School
body, though the number Of commandments in
the latter is very little less than half that Of the
Old School.

Views of J. c. Calhoun on Congression-
 al Intervention.

On the 27th of June, 1S4S, Hon. J. C. Calhoun advanced the following views in regard to Congressional Intervention:"
 "There is very striking difference be- tween the position on which the sIavehold- ing and non- slaveholding States stand, in reference to the subject under considera- ton, the prohibition of slavery in Ore gon.) The former desire no action of government, demand no law to give them any advantage in the Territory about to be established, are willing to leave it and otber Territories belonging 10 the United States, open to all their citizens, so long as they continue to be Territories, and when they cease to be, to leave il to their inhabitants to form such governments as may suit them, without restriction or con dition. except that imposed by the Constl- tuition as a prerequisite for admission into the Union. In short, they are willing 10 leave the whole subject where the Consli- tution and the great and fundamental prln- ciples of self government place It. On the contrary, the non-savehoding States, instead of being willing to leave t on this broad and equal foundation demand the interpositon of the government, and the passage of an act to prevent the citizens of the saveholding States from emigra- ting with thelr property into the Territory.
 II hold that justice and the Constitution are the easiest and safest grounds on which the question can be settled, regarded in re- ference to party. t may De settled on that ground simply by non-actiom, by leaving the Territories free and open to the eml- grafton of all the world. If party can not safely take this broad and solid posi-. ton and successfully maintain it, what other can 1t take and malntain?"

 A GUILTY CONSCIENCE --One of the finest passages ever uttered by MT. Web sier, was in vindcation of the auth ority of conscience and of Providence, on trial for murder.
 "The guilty soul cannot keep its own secret. It is false to itself. It labors under its guilty possession, and knows not what to do with it. The human heart was not made for the residence of such an in- habilant. Il finds itself preyed upon by a torment which it does not acknowledge to God or man. A vulture in devouring 1t, and it cannot ask any sympathy or assis- tance. either from heaven or r,h. The secret which the murderer possesses soon comes to possess him; and, like the evil spirit of which we read, 1t overcomes him, and leads him withersoever 1t will. He feels it beating 10 his heart-rising 10 his throat-and demanding disclosure. He thinks the world sees it in his face, and almost hears its workings in the silence of his thoughts. It betrays his discretion it breaks down his courage-it conquers his prudence When suspicion from with out begins to embarass him, and the net of circumstances 10 enlangle him, the fatal secret strugg les with still greater yio- lence to burst forth. IL must be confessed -it will be confessed; there is no refuge from confession but suicde-and suicide is confession"

Effect of Emancipation on the African Race.

There is no blinking the truth. Years of bitter experience-years of hope de- ferred. of sell-devotion unrequited, oi poverty, of humiliation, of prayers unan- swered, of suffering derided, of insults unresented, of contumeIy patiently en- dured-have convinced us of the truth. It must be spoken out, loudly and ener- geticaIy, despite ,he wild mockings oi 'howlng can't The freed West India negro slave will not till the soil for wages; the free son uf the ex-slave is as obstl' nate as his sire. He will cultivate lands which he has not bought for his own yams, mangoes and plantains. These satisfy his wants; he does not care for yours. Cot ton, and sugar. and coffee, and tobacco l he cares little for them. And what mat ters it to him that the Englisbman has sunk Lis thousands and tens of thousands on mills, machinery and plants, which now totter on the langushing estate that for years has only returned beggary and debt! He eats his yams and sniggers at "Buckra."
 We do not know why this should be ; but it is so. The negro has been bought with a price-the price of English taxa ton and English toll. He has been gre. deemed from bondage" by the sweat and travail of some millions of hard working Englishmen. Twenty millions of pounds sterling-one hundred millions of dol- lars-have been distilled from the brains and muscles of the free English laborer, of every degree, to fashion the West ln- dia negro into "free and independent laborer." "Free and independent enough he has become, God knows but laborer he is not and, so far as we can see, new CT will be. He will sing hymns and quote texts, but honest, steady industry, he not only detests but despses. We wish to heaven that some people in Eng and neither Government people, nor parsons, nor cIergymen-but some just-minded, honest hearted, and clear sighted men, would go out to some of the islands-say Jamaica, Domonicia or Antiqua mot for month or three months. but for year would watch the precious protege of Eng fish philanthropy, the freed negro, in bls daily habits would watch him as he la zily plants his little squatsing; would see him as he proudly rejects agricultural or domestic services, or accepts 1t only at wages ludcrously disproportionate to the value of his work. We wish, too, they would watch him while, with hide thlck. CT than that of hippopotamus and a body to which fervid heat is comfort rather than an annoyance, he droningy y lounges over the prescribed task on which the intrepid Englisman, unnured to the burning sun, consumes his impatient en- ergy and too often sacrifices his life. We wish they would go out and view the ne. gro in all the blazonry of his idleness, his pride, his gratitude, contemptuously sneer- ing at the industry of that race which made him free, and then come home and teach the memorable lesson of their ex- perience to the fanatics who have pervert- ed him into what he is.- London Times.
