the reach of all real money at the command of the country, and it is not in the power of man to make mere paper promise of Government long pass for money. It was inevitable that the continental money should sink in value in proportion to the increase of its issue.--The first issue was made in 1775. The depreciation began in three years afterwards, and went on as follows: March, 1778, $1 in coin was worth $1.75 in paper. September, 1778, $1 in coin was worth $16 in paper. March, 1779, $1 in coin was worth $16 in paper. September. 1779, $1 in coin was worth $18 in paper. March, 1780, $1 in coin was worth $40 in paper. December, 1780, $1 in coin was worth $100 in paper. May, 1781, $1 in coin was worth $500 in paper. Not long after these days the holders of Government money paid $20,000 for a bum, and $10,000 for half a pound of tea.

But who, let us ask, when the people come to their senses, will respect the debt which this Administration will leave upon the country? To be sure they will be told that the debt must be honestly paid.

s far as subduing the spirit of that journal is concerned. The last number contains a scathing review of truthful exposition of the financial condition of the United States. The last hope of keeping gold down in that country, was the passage of Chase' gold bill. It was done, but to-day gold in New York is quoted within two centsnly means comprehended by the Administration. In the sums required for the prolonged prosecution of the war, real money does not exist within the reach of the United States; and printed or counterfeit money is rapidly approaching a crisis where it must burst like a bubble, leaving nothing but its own froth behind it. Already the wed, economized, and thus exist for those who desire them in exchange for money."

hese will be great and absorbing questions pretty soon: How much of this debt was stolen from the Treasury by the party who saddled us with it? Is it a Constitutional expenditure of the people's money to buy negroes from the border States and let them loose to compete with us in all the labor markets of our country? Is it Constitutional to take our money to send squads of negro kissing men and women from Yankeedom to teach antiquated darkeys in the Carolinas how to read the New England primer? Is it Constitutional to spend the people's money in annually transporting a partisan portion of the army to and from the battle-field to control the Northern elections? The partisan knave will profess to sniff "treason" in these questions; but the wise man and patriot will regard them as being likely to some day influence the minds and actions of the people.--Those who blindly throw themselves on the national faith and the point of honor, for the burdening labor with eno
