The proposition Of Secretary Chase to cs-
tlblish Il uniform currency throughout the
country, is being seriously considered. We
have no doubt that all the banks doing
proper and Legitimate business will be bcne-
fitted, us we'll as the people. by some arrange
ment Of the kind At least they would
make a fair profit. Suppose, for instance,
that bank having capital of 500, 900.
should purchase United States six per cent
stock which, should deposit with the Secreta-
ry OF the Treasury as collateral. and receive
United States notes amounting to that sum.
" Ith these notes it could discount paper.
and if it could use the whole Of them, it
would receive twelve per cent on its capital,
SIX from the government for the bonds de-
posted as collateral, and six on its discounts
The deduction from this would be the
amount required TO transact its current bu,i-
ness In the above we have not taken in o
consideration the bIone IS that might be
done OH deposits. The operation, therefore,
strikes us as being highly advant lgeouS.
The people would be furnished with Il uni
form currency, they would I've relieved Of
the discounts on deprecated notes, and Il
wholesome check would be cxcrtcd over the
banks, while the government would be ben
ciitcd by the creation of such demand for
its bonds rs wonId keep them at par. 0
perhaps above par 1t would thus be COM
PenSatcd for the expense of the manufacture
OF the notes. The banking system OF New
York is based on the princpel proposed,
the only difference being that the State does
not issue the notes-but leaves the Banks
to manage that for themselves. Another
argument in favor of the proposition is that
it will interest the people of the different
sections of the country in the pre- ,ervation
Of the government-that every man who
holds note would be to that extent bound
to it, and such thing as rebellion to sub
vert it, could never again take place

would arrest the arm that would strike the
death blow to Slavery. Its death would
be the death of the rebellion and the death
of the rebellion, will be the life of the ma
ton. Thousands of our best citizens have
died in the effort to suppress the rebellion.
There must be an end to this slaughter.
We must spare the lives Of our brethren.
We must strike the rebels at their strong
point Slavery is their strength. Then
let slavery fall. In this way, we shall save
the lives of thousands Of our brethren in the
field.
The events of each day Undue us to be-
lievc that slavery must fail with the rebel
lion or, we should rather have said, the
rebellion must fall with slavery. ItbeeOmpS
more and more apparent that slavery must
be destroyed, to save the Union and secure
peace to the nation. In this view. we are
happy to be sustained by so distinguished a
patriot as Ex-Govcrnor Hicks. Only few
days since, he remarked within our hearing
that 8 ,ce can wrer hare NctJIe gore'nnH'n a,m

Such is the intelligent view Of that enlight
ened statesman And itcannot be question
ed that current events sustain his opinion.
The fact is, we have never been perfectly
united people. The North and the South
have always been two distinct nations
This has been necessarilyso. We can never
be one nation un Ter one Government. while
we have two systems Of labor And while
we are fighting for the unity Of the nation,
