the formal details of the action in Congress.
For the most part, the negro, nigger' mig,
seems to engage the thoughts OF the pre-
dominating Yankee Abolition majority 10
that body, once properly called the Nation
al Legislature, now the bigotted representa-
tive of a fanatical section. Yea, the ever
lasting g-Dig-nigger, is the great open
theme of their "windy suspiratiou and forced
breath" while in fact another subject equal
", nav more earnestly, absorbs their secret
and more silent thoughts subject ever
dear and paramount with the Yankees-the
subject, namely, of the almighty dOl-dol-
dollar. The dol-dol-dollar is now, what
the dime was formerly, the unit Of the Yam
lions of dol-dol-dollars, are come to be now
their common terms of quantity. They
don't say as much about the dol-dol-dollar
as they do about the mig -niggeF. for the
with the cry of nig-nig-nigger, will blind
the eyes of the people to their distractions
from the Treasury of the dol-dol-dolar-
and sooth, the Yankee. in such cases, is very
willing to be stone-blind by the light of the
sun. Although they make loud and lu-
gubrious noise in::public over the nig-nis-
niger, they do a much heavier business
over the dol-dol-dollar, Yankee-like, in
secrecy and silence, Abolition is theme
to be ventilated before the public. Any
body may have, for the asking, even without
the asking, and, moreover, in spite of depre-
cations, any amount Of first rate Abolition
rhetoric, such as it is, from any number of
Yankee Abolition stumpers, demagogues,
congressman, clergymen, lecturers, professors
and school marms, at the price of dime
per head 20 the listeners, or even for Moth
ing, provided the orators may be permitted
in secrecy and silence to fob his dol-dol-
dollars out of the profits of iniquiteus jobs
and fraudulent contracts for furnishing shoes
shingled between the soles with wood shaw
ings, and coats made of 'shoddy'-shoddy
being cloth made Of old rotten rags torn by
machinery into a semblance of wool and
woven over again, but of such f1imsy, tex
ture as scarcely to hold the stitches while
the garment is being put together. The
niger has a countenance which Yankee
sagacity knows attracts the admiration of
mankind. His dark features are the more
admirable in broad sunlight. Hence his
beaming picture is forever openly exhibited
by the calculating skill of \ ankee showmen
Rnk hi Of
doings Of men with the dollar is, that they
should be considered secret and confidential
at least as much so as possible. The
bright rays reflected from the disks Of shin
ing silver and gold coins, and even the
pleasing hues of Treasury green-backs, are
best appreciated in the shade, by your dis
Greet and considerable Yankee.
There are in progress in Congress, bills
for the issue of $500, OOo. 900 of government
bonds, payable at long taw; $500. 100000 of
bonds bearing about half-interest (about 81
per cent? designed to float as currency; and
$500. 900 of Treasury notes like those
now in circulation; making in all an addi-
tional Indebtedness on the part of the gov
eminent of Fifteen Hundred Millions of
Dollars. There are some other propositions
for other purposes Zone of which is to furn-
ish small change to authorize the issue of
other bonds, notes or shinplasters, for the
trifing sums of fifty, a hundred, or two
hundred millions, as may be deemed con-
venient by our honest and economical Secre-
tary Of the Treasury--sll which will doubt
less pass-for the President and Mrs. Grims-
ley and many other friends have still un-
filled carpet sacks, and every Congressman
has FIVE hundred patriotic constituents with
respectfully sized pocket-books and satchels,
whose mouths, like that of the horse-leech's
daughter are vociferously vocal with the cry
of "give"! "give"l "give" US more green
backs.
The great recent excitement in the price
of gold is supposed by some to have been
produced, at least in part, by these enor--
nous financial schemes in Congress, aggra-
waited probably by the frequent reverses of
the Federal armies of late. 1t is one of the
tricks of trade to call this excitement rise
in the price of gold, though every man of
sense knows it only means decline in tn
value of paper-a depreciation of govern
ment credit, bonds, treasury notes, &C., &c.
And this tendency to depreciation, besides
the causes above specified, is accelerated
by the grave fear. which begins to bs OPEN
ly avowed by honest and sensible men in
business circles. that all forms of government
issues, whether bonds or notes, will in the
end, either from military or financial neces-
sity. be wholly or partially repudiated!-
