Pnner MONEY vs. COIN.

As long as Congress and the state gov
eruments permit pcrnicious paper cIrcu'
lation, which at once encourages Imitation
and ovcr-trading. and thereby increases
prices at the same time allows foreigners
to sell at paper rates and realize IN hard
coin. so long will this country be at dis
advantage in its dealings with other ma
lions. Within five years there should not
be n bank bill under Fifty dollars in the
length and breadth of the Union, and the
humiliation of these promises to pay
could he accomplished as pleasantly as
gradually. The gold from California
would fill the places of the "himsies,' rs
they are correctlyi.f vulgarly denomina-
ted. and the money of the people would be
real money, according to the constitution
and common sense. Our gold would he
kept at home, and if foreign nations wan
ted it. they would have to pay good prlce,
in their productions and manufactures
At any rate we should then have a dol
lars worth for a dollar, and any moderate
loss of specie to the country would be OF
little financial consequence, with circu-
lation that was ali of gold and silver
What effect there might he, it would be
simple and natural. At present, we buy
for paper and pay in gold, when every
dellar lost has a marvellous effect of
course upon the business of the coun-
try, by its direct bearing upon the small
specie basis of an immense issue of pa
per. Against the goodness of each partic-
ular bank bill, we have nothing TO say. The
law and the honesty and ability of bank
arrangements can make their notes what
is called .'good'-thas is, they can be Ii
quidated By notes OF other people. But the
great and pervading evil of our paper

TIN fragrant doctrine of Free Love has
found a champion in the person of DR..
Charming, son of the late distinguished
Unitarian Divine. 1t seems that this faS-
tidinns gentleman cnnsidcrnd himself as
belonging to that numerous and unhappy
mob who are "married but not mated"
and sought relief from the burden of the
conjugal yoke by going to Indiana and
suing and procuring divorce. Yet hold
ing to the good old doctrine, that sit il
not good for man to be alone" no sooner
had he cast the old wife away, than he
supplied her place by another. This sum-
mary proceeding naturally excited some
little comment, and few went so far Us
actually to hint that the doctor was no
better than a free lover in Disguise
Whereupon, provoked by the taunts of
his assailants, he boldly assumes the often
sivc, defends his course, and advocates the
doctrine that marriage is only an affair of
long as it conduces to the mutual happi-
ness of the parties. If a man grows wca-
ry of his wife, argues the good doctor, let
him put her off and look for more con-
genial partner of his bosom. We give
him the benefit of his own words:
sit is very necessary, here and now, to
assert the natural limitations of the right
of contract. 1t is impossible, in q great
majority of cases, that the parties to
marriage can know each other thor
oughly in advance, that they can decide,
beyond mistake, their present and future
fitness to each other. Their fitness does
not depend, in the last result, on the will,
nor on moral discipline. but on Inherent
structure of mind and body. 4 contract
to love another person in the future is an
absurdity. A contract to live in marriage
with another person, regardless of love is
contract simply of physical relation,
desecrating the name of human marriage.
Parties entering intelligently and reIi-
giously upon marriage, make no such con-
tract with each other. l never did
When society processes to come in as q
third party, and enforce against nature
"a contract, it should be set aside on the
ground that it is an immoral contract.
