Should the people of any com
munity permit the specie t" be made
at this time an article of traffic =
This is an interesting question, and
deserves the intelligent consideration
of this community.
1t is true that in ordinary times
the freest scope should be allowed to
legitimate trade, and it is only under
the stringent laws of necessity that
legislative enactment should tramm~!
trade in any article Of legal traffic
Much more stringent should be- those
laws of necessity when the people of
any community take upon themselves
to supply Legislative enactment, by
suppressing any evil which law does
not or cannot reach. Indeed this
should ne, er be done except in legal
or moral resolutions.
This country is now in the midst
of n legal revolution. The healthy
laws of trade are all silenccd. The
ordinary demand for specie, which is
the great basis of trade as Well as
value and circulation, is not there
fore governed by those healthy laws
of trade which will in ordinary times
equalize and adjust and regulate
themselves by the great and control
ing law of supply and demand. -
A contingency therefore, has arisen,
when some check should be imposed
upon the draining of one country or
section of country. Of this " basis of
value" to replete another, for the I'D
vantage and profit of the individual
engaged in the traffic.
Why is specie worth more in vir-
ginia than in Louisiana? Trade be-
tween the former and latter State do
not demand this. If it did it would
flow in its natural channels through
exchanges in payment for value re-
ceived here, and while we would lose
the specie we would gain in substance
it's equivalent. But there i, no trade
and we now get mere promises to

rat;ons or government. We do not
ut all doubt the ultimate responsible

But what will be the condition Of our

Neac England and tie JTy.-The
New Bedford (lass.) Mercury, in a
late article urging the people Of that
city to make sacrifices for the war
says:
Certainly, in no mode at all COM
mensurate with its wealth and intel
ligence, has New Bedford demonstra-
ted its appreciation of the terri
bic nature Of the struggle and the
vast interests depending on its re-
suit. We think we do not overstate
the case. From city having more
than twenty thousand inhabitants,
not single company enlisted for the
war. We know of no sacrafice worth
the name that has been made in any
direction"
That does not speak well for New
England patriotism. We should
have been in a bad position If the
Northwest had not done far better
than that-Cincinnati Enquirer.

had secured the services of the telc-
