The Small Change Panic.

Says Tho Lancas'er Express: The pFeaen nj
scarcity Of coin is based upon speculation ex.
cIusvey. There is as much in the country as
there ever was. and much more than when it
was in free cireuIst on, and apparently more
plenty than now. The Spectators in New
York and Philadelphia, who have gotten up
this small change panic, have suspended their
fortunes by a thread, which may be cut al any
moment. when thoy will suddenly hNd their
fingers very badly burned. A decided military
success BY Mcclellan or Pope, will bring down
the price Of gold. and empty brokers' vaults and
farmers stocking legs in double quick time.
II those who are boarding up specie had only
the good sense to keep il in circulation, there
would be no trouble about change; and we
shall rejoice exceedingly when the existing
speculation explOdes, TO know that they whC
engaged in i. will get the hardest knocks from
the Tecoil.
