NIonoDOlies.

The President in his Message
comes out strongly against monopo-
lies. The following is an extract ;
"No State can be justified in any
devise to tax the transit of travel
and commerce between States"
And, again:
"It is best while the country is
still young, and while the tendency
to dangerous monopolies is still
feeble, to use the power of Congress
SO as to prevent any selfish impedi-
ment to the free circulation Of men
and merchandise"
This is dig at monopolies in gen
eral, but more especially at that of
the Camden and Amboy Railroad.
1t is one of the largest monopolies
in this country, and the company
possessing is take every advantage
of those who are obliged to travel
over the road.
BY charter granted by the State
the road has the exclusive right to
transport freight and passengers
between New York and Philadel-
phia, and SO wealthy has it become
that it controls the State Government

GOLD CERTIFICATES.

BY virtue Of the authority confer
red by the 9th section of the act OF
March 3, 1868, the Treasurer of the
United States and the Assistant
Treasurer in New York have been
instructed 10 receive deposits of coin
aad bullion, and to issue certificates s
therefor in denominations OF not less
than twenty dollars.
Instructions were given for the is
sue OF these certificates to promote
the convenience OF officers of Gus.
toms and OF the Treasurer and AS
sistant Treasurcrs, and for the ac-
comodation Of the public. Other
considerations also prompted the
Secretary TO avail himself OF the au-
thority referred to. 1t is expected
that the credit OF the Government
will be strengthened by the coin
which will be thus brought into the
Treasury, and that the effect Of the
measure will be to facilitate to some
extent, n return to specie payment.
Ii the experiment should be satisfuc-
tory in New York, it will be extend.
ed to other commercial cities.
The Secretary then gives full de,
tails of the operations Of the mints
during the year-the coast survey
the commercial intercourse with
States in insurrection-speaks of the
condition Of treasury buildings and
custom -houses-more adequate com
pensation for some Of the officers con.

carried on much more largely FOR
cash than was ever the case previous
to 1861, and that there is much
greater proper demand for money
than there would bc il sales were
made, rs heretofore, on credit. III
Is also true that there is a larger de
mand than formerly for money on
the part of manufacturers for the
payment Of operatives But, making
the most liberal allowances for the
incrca. cd wholesome demand arising
from these causes, and from the ad.
vance Of the country in business and
population, it is apparent from the
foregoing statements, If the advance
in prices did not establish the fact,
that the circulating medium of the
country is altogether excessive.

in every department, and generally
the elections. This year, however,
it failed to carry the State for the
Copperhcads; and were it not for
this fact we should expect to see the
Copperhead press rush TO its rescue.
We presume that Copperheads have
no further use for CanHlcn g. Amboy.
Down with monopolies, say the
people.

The Presidents Message.


The Presidents Message.
We gave the Presidents Message
last week in full, but owing to its
great length and the lateness OF ar.
rival were unable to comment upon it.
Considered as q State paper, the
Message is inferior to none that have
heen issued by Mr.. Johnsons prede.
cessors, and is far superior to many
of them. 1t is clear, forcible and
satisfactory.
President Johnson deals frankly
with the questions at issue, and gives
his views so plainly that no one can
mistake them. Starting out with
expressions TO Almighty God for the
preservation of the Union and the
many blessings He has vouchsafcd us.
The president alludcs tccliugly to the
untimcly end Of lis predecessor, and
then gives his own action in regard
to the States lately in rebellion, and
his motives in so doing. The origl.
nal formation of the Union and its
objects, the mutual relations of the
States and Constitution to each other,
and the henious doctrine of State
Sovereignty ore freely and intelli-
gently discussed. He argues against
continuing military rule in the South,
rs not conducive to the welfare OF
the nation, and recommends the re.
organization of the Southern Courts
and intimates that JEFF. Davis should
he tried by civil law that the Consti-
tuition and laws may be vindicated
and the question judicially settled
that no State can renounce her place
IN the Union. The negro question
is discussed to some length, and he
favors leaving the matter of suffrage

separation OF the races, and says
u tue hcSIo iaiis III tuc PTrH that IL
opened before him it should not bC
because justice is not done him. The
evils OF slavery are spoken of in {
manner that savors strongly of abo
litionism.
The national debt is not spoken oi
rs national blessing, and the Presi.
dent thinks it ought to be cradlcatcd
in given term of years.
In regard to our foreign relations
the President takes different grcunt
from that which those who spcculat
ed on the subject supposed he would
The course that England took in re

The interests of the two countrie:

The Mexican question is disposed o
in similar spirit The Presiden
is confident that Europe will respec
our opinions in regard to the Monroe
Doctrine. The character of the CORE
spondcnce between the United States
and France is not stated, but it will
be laid before Congress at the prop
er time, when the whole matter vii
be made plain. From the tenor o
the Presidents remarks it would not
perhaps, be too much to say tha
the Mexican question will probably
be solved by the withdrawal of Max

SALES OF COIN.

The receipts OF coin have been for
some months past so large that there
have been constantly accumulations
beyond what has been required tor
the payment Of the interest on the
public debt. The Secretary, therefore,
deemed it his duty to sell, from time
to time.a portion OF the surplus for the
purpose OF supplying the wants Of
importers and furnishing the means
for meeting the demands upon the
treasury for currency.
The sales have been conducted by
the Assistant Treasurer in New York
IN manner entirely satisfactory to
the Department, and, it is believed, to
the public. The sales, up to the first
OF November, amounted to S27 ,093,-
PIG III, and the premium Sl5,3l0,

advisable TO reserve this option, be-

The Secretary, therefore, respect.
rullv but earnestly recommends:
First That Congress declare that
the compound interest notes shall
cease to be a legal tender from the
day of their maturity.
Second. That the Secretary be
authorized, in his discretion, to sell
bonds Of the United States, bearing
Interest alta ratcHnot exceeding six
per cent &, and redeemablc and pay
able at such periods as may be con.
duciye to the interests of the gov.
crnment, for the purpose OF retiring
not only compound interest notes,
but the United States notes.
1t is the opinion of the Secretary.
rs has been already stated, that the
process Of contraction canno. be in.
juriously rapid; and that it will not
be necessary TO retire more than one
hundred, or at most two hundred
millions of United States notes, in
addition to the compound notes, be-
fore the desired result will he attain.
ed. But neither the amount of re
duction, nor The timc that VIII be rc
quirel to bring up the currency to
the specie standard, can now be esti-
mated with any degree of accuracy.
The first thing to bc done is to estab
lish the policy Of contraction. When
this is effected, the Secretary he
lieyes that the business OF the coun.
try will readily accommo late itself to
the proposed change in the action OF
government, and that specie pay
meuts may be. restored without Il
shock to trade, and without n dimin,
ntion Of the public revenues, or cf
productive Industry.

The present law limits the circula.
ton of nptional banks to three hun

lul whether a larger circulation can

Il greater restriction had not been
placed upon the circulation of the

During the war, the laws in regard

the insurrcctionary States, entirely
disrcgarded; and, as II consequence.
immense interests arc thereby imper.
rilled.
In view, therefore, Of the recent
and present condition of the South
ern States, the Secretary recon.
mcnds-
First. That the collection of inter.
nal revenue taxes which accrued he
fore the establishment OF revenue OF.
ices in the States recently in rebel
lion, be Immediately postponed.
Second. That all sales Of proper.
ty in those States, under the dircc,
tax law, bc suspended until the States
shall have an opportunity of assum
ing Gas was done by the loyal States
the payment of tho tax assessed upon
them.
Third. That all transactions in
such States, which may be invalid by
the non.use of stamps, be leg allied
as far us it in the power of Congress
TO lcgali1c them.
What action, if any, should be ia
ken Tor the relief of persons in those
States, whose property has been sold
under the direct tax law, and is now
held 10y the Government, it will be
for Congress to determine. The
Secretary is decidedly OF the opinion
that liberal legislation in regard to
taxes which accrued prior TO the
suppression of the rebellion will tend
to promote harmony between the
Government and the people OF those
States, will ultimately increase the
public revenues, and vindicatc the
humane policy of the Government.
