Life has charms for him which it has not
for men of other professions. He wei
comes the changes Of seasons at their ap-
,proach: he is not afraid of being behind
hand wi h his crops, being overtaken BY
an early frost, or Disconnected by q pre-,
mature spring. He welcomes every
change of the seasons, being always well
prepared for their coming.
ut with some it is tar different, they
are never at ease, everything around them
goes wrong. With them it is toohot OF

whether the sun shines, or whether the

cnNrRAcr THE CURRENCY

The Chicago papers soy that committee, repre-
senting the merchants and manufacturers OF that CITY,
will soon visit Washington to urge Congress TO post
pone contraction Of the currency. What arguments
these gentlemen will use we do not know, but GER
tany none more novel than the old threat OF sudden
fall of prices, and unknown financial troubles. Con-
traction will be called risk the country is unpre
pared for it; better have too much deprecated
paper money than too little specie. The financial
wolf which it is predicted will devour us takes the
shape in these disturbed imagnations OF an enormous
gold dollar We will cheerfully meet the danger Of
its appearance.
Thus far, the Secretary Of the Treasury has had
small power from Congress to contract the currency
The laws passed at the late session tied his hands;
but, under such power as he did possess, he has
retired the revenue fund Of S5O00O,OOO, issued to
redeem temporary loans, and $l0,OOO,OOO which
Congress permitted him to withdraw within six
months after the 18th of April. A few millions,
under the clause providing for monthly contraction
have also been withdrawn; yet there are now about
$3.50 900 900 legal tenders in circulation Gold closed
yesterday at 1874 and little arithmetic will show
how much specie these $3.50 0OO 900 represent Our
dollars are not dollars and pretend to value they DO
not possess. With this inflated currency there can
be no stability of prices and the ordinary foresight OF
commerce is ever liable to be baed by rumor in the
street. or false telegram from Washington. Busi-
ness, based on shifting and uncertain currency Is
house built upon tho sands when the foods come and
the winds beat upon that house great may be the fall
thereof We do not suppose that there arc any bold
enough to advocate the perpetuation OF paper cur
rency but we know that men like this Chicago conf
mitee practically strive to it By Directing to
all measures which even look to resumption specie
payments 1t is in their opinion, always too soon to
begin. In our judgment the day is approaching
when it will be too late to specie payment by
steady and sure contraction-when the paper balloon
will suddenly burst from the excess OF its own in
hation. We would prevent o revolution beyond our
control by beginning while we haze the power TO
direct il.
Mr.. McCulloch, in HE report, urges the necessity
Of contraction and specie payments and we trust his
arguments will have more weight With Congress than
the lobbying Of Chicago committees. Existing re-
strction upon the power of the Secretary TO with
draw legaltenders should be loosened Congress can
do the country no worse service than TO let the mis-
takes of last Spring govern the legislation OF this
Winter. At least let us have beginning; let some
thing be done to tear the painted paper mask from
the prosperity we really possess let US feel the ground
we stand on. There Is safety in any other course

fenced by Judge to slavery, instead Of the prison.
The crime of the victim does not make the act par
tcle less Infamous if it be a cheap way OF getting
rid of criminals, it also furnishes cheap means OF
acquiring property. We do not suppose that any
great number of Maryland gentlemen intend, even u
disposed to carry out any such miserable fragment
Of the law encouraging the old crime of saye-deal-
ing. Public. opinion and conviction are now too
powerful for that but if they were not the number OF
coored criminals sold into slavery would bear an as
onishing proportion to the laboring population OF
Maryland The negro can by law DO made a slave
in Anne Arundel County, Maryland and the means
of making him vagrant, and criminal, and of con-
signing him to some form or other of actual slavery
are still more ample further South. The case we have
quoted explains better than an argument that any
thing less than comprehensive justice to the blacks is
slavery.
