CONGRESS has no rightto make money
scarce" says an exchange; though we
infer from the line of argument that the
claim is, that Congress may make money
plenty. The power to regulate the cur
rency by legislation, as to quantity, abun'
dance, will be used as the interest of
those in power may require. sometimes
it will be plenty as leaves in Vallam-
broea at other times scarce and fearfully
troublesome to get. This makes govern
ment mere gambling arrangement, as
witness the gold selling, black Fridays
&C., of late years. The Democratic posi-
ton is that the Constitution confers upon
Congress no such sweeping and danger
GUS power over the property, business
and labor of the people.
Governments are instituted among
men to protect personal and property
rights, not 10 violate and unsettle values
with the view of building up a wealthy
and favored class. Hence the wise men
who founded our government laid down
the fundamental law in a written Con-
stitution, sanctioned and adopted by
each State, prescribing the powers and
duties of all Departments. The object
was to establish justice and equal rights
between the States and among the citi-
zens Willy and unprincipled schemers,
under the guise of craftsmanship, when
installed in power, manage, by unjust ar
raugement of tariff duties, and by man.
ipulating the paper money currency, &c,
to violate every principle of equity, the
equilibrium of all values, beneftting
some few and running thousands.
1t is initiation at one time and Contrac-
ton at another, but ultimate ruin to hon.
est business and labor. Ohentimes, in
the end, ruin overtakes some the ben.
efciares themselves, so intimately are
the interests of society connected. The
glad recipients of Protection favors are
apt to become the victims at last of their
own selfish scheme. The true policy,
then, is non-interfereuce on the part of
Government with business affails, labor
and property, All history shows that
country most evenly anu CONSTANT J pros
porous where these are least interfered
with. "That government" said Solon,
"is best which governs least"

messenger in the Department Of Justice.
When Attorney General Devens was U.
s Marshal at Boston, during President
Filmore's administration, Simms, then a
slave, escaped from bis owner and fed
to Boston. The requirements of the fu-
gitive slave demanded his capture, if
possible, and restoration to his owner.
This duty devolved upon the Marshal,
the present Attorney General, who Sc
cured the fugitive, and was in time sent
back to Georgia.

The Alliance ReUieD in long article

write the long article in the Washington
Nation, which advocated the abandon

ton, and the resuscitation Ofthe old high
tariff, United States Bank, Whig party of
forty years ago, The Jealous and ardent
Postoflice organ at Alliance continues to
hold us to severe account for charging
the authorship oflheHrticle upon Thomp-
son. 1t seems to hurt Thompson, and
also the tender sensibllities of the aillict'
ed Reuiew. In order to quiet the Hayes,
postt flee people of Alliance, we admit
our error, and will say, that, instead OF
Thompson, it was some tool echo of his
who actually wrote the article in the Ad-
ministration organ at Washington. AS
it is not an essential element of the main
fact, we make this concession in order to
soothe those afflicted and troubled Hayes
souls at Alliance. 1t is some comfort to
us that the P. o. Review does not call in
question the essential points in the case,
namely, that the Washington Nation is a
Republican organ-that such an article
was published, and such views promulga.

House. In corroboration of its Admin

Hayes & Co., are very anxious to shake
off the carpet.bag infamy South, and the
best way to do this is to revive the old
Whig party. 1t seems to be conceded
the Republican arrangement is played
fnished-and something must be done.
A "solid South" now is alarming.
