of the subject until next December, and the
opinions OF the ultra press freely expressed

The security Of property is the handspring
of success in all enterprises, aud enables men
to confdc capital and effort to the legitimate
pursuits of that hcalthful industry which con
tributes to the prosperity of communities,
States and nations. Insecurity, in this re,

wthdraws capital from its Legitimate employ
mcnt, to be buried in tho shape of gold coin
and other valuablcs, or it is driven to some
other locality than its natural field Of opera
tons. Our remarks arc induced by the fol
lowing extract from that well known political
| economist McCulloch, writer now univer-
sally acknowledged to ,.> standard authority
