Senator Sumner is performing new RTE.
He has jumped the financial hobby and de-
claims with as much assurance on national
finance and specie payments as he has been in
the habit of doing about the negro In speech
delivered at Cambridge, Mass, he asserts the
''praciicability Of specie payments on the 9TH
of July next after the Inauguration of General
Grant" MAY, more," he says, ut is my con-
victon, not only that we can have specie pay
ments at that time, but that we ought to have
them then" History tells us Of an old king
who planted his throne on the ocean beach
and commanded the waves to come no farther
nor to wet his royal feet. Mr.. Summers speech
about jumping to specie payments next July
is as stupid as the conduct Of the king who
foollshly supposed he could arrest the course
OF nature and stop the waves of the ocean.
Specie payments will come when the laws Of
trade decide 1t shall be so, and not ill then.
The dictum Of Mr.. Sumner or any other finan-
cial theorist will have no effect. The Senator
imagines that because he and his radical
friends have subvcrted the laws OF nature
In attempting to make the negro the
equal of the white man they can subvert the
laws of trade which govern the currency The

attempt to elevate the negro to the standard of
the white man and to give him superior politi-
cal power in the Southern States has resulted
only in evil, and leaves him where he must
ever remain-linder the control Of the white
man. But though their efforts have failed and
brought nothing but mischief upon the country
and upon the negroes themselves, these mar
row-minded and visionary politicians do not
learn anything byexperience. 1t is the same
with regard to financial questions. Mr.. Sum
ner would plunge the country into universal
bankruptcy, check its industrial progress and
place the whole business community at the
mercy of a few foreign or native capitalists and
gold jobbers for an impracticable theory. He
does not see that with even our present volume
of currency drain of few millions to the
South or West, or few millions being locked
up by spectators, causes the greatest strin
gency and check upon business. What would
be the consequence if the currency were still
more contracted to force specie payments, as
Mr.. Sumner would have it? The truth is it
cannot be done. Mr.. McCulloch tried it, but
had to back down. The laws of trade began
to operate and the voice of the country rose
against the stupid attempt to restrict the cir
culating medium. We shall reach specie pay
ments when the country grows up to that
through the natural course of things. All
efforts to attain that in any other way would
fail and produce great mischief.

MEXICO AND ASSRxATIoS--Osr Mexican
letters give a glimpse Of the progress Of
thought in the neighbor;ng republic, as
showing that the idea Of annexation to the
United States has taken permanent hold OF
the public mind in certain districts. Naturally
they are districts that are already in some
degree Americanized by relations with Ameri-
can energy in various forms and with Ameri-
can capitals for these are civilizing powers,
and civilization wants peace, order and all the
other results Of vital government. Mexicans
who see the promise Of these only in close
relations with this country must hold up their
