General jackson poured oil on the
agitated waters of the political canvas
on the tariff question, in the days of
the Wing party and bank power, by
suggesting that a judicious tariG would
meet the wants of the country. Let
there be, therefore, a judicious curren-
cy to meet the wants of the agitators
of the money question. Banks are
dangerous in politics, and to the prin-
ciplcs OF the Democratic party, when
there must be judicioas remedy for
present and merely temporary evils in
business. The most judicious remedy
is to drive out the Radical party and
put the Legislation for aud government
of the people in the hands of the con
stitutional Democratic party.

DR.. Cox stated that he noticed in an evening
paper, which doubtless was inserted through
error. that the members of the board were to ap-
pear before the Committee on Appropriations to-
day to solicit an increase OF their salaries This
was mistake, as the appropriation for their pay
had already been made, but the object of the
visit Of the board to the committee was to urge
the passage Of the annual appropriation to be ex-
pended by the board for sanitary purposes.
