SU-ITERVILLE, S. C., AUGUST 3, 1 S5t POLITICAL, Coasequences of the Increased iu3ply of Gold. The considerations which three years ago, were almost derided as to the probable effects of the inere ased supply of gold, are now assuming a preponderence over all other sulbjects. Awl. 'he anxious pause of curiosity is In. tent, but it is nevertheless felt by ev " ry one, and it is easy to understand why it has not hitherto been more de 6idedly expressed. The land-own. eys do not care to avow the full ex tent of their hopes, and to stimulate, a cry from the annuitant class for preventive meddling. That class. on the other hand, together with the n.ucb larger body who dislike every. thing that upsets routine and neces sitates thought, endeavor to persuade themselves into indifference. Thei original disbelief having been forei. bly overcome, they seek new refuge in the conclusion that fresh uses Fir the precious metals will prevent an . alteration in value. The remaining class, consisting of. ordinary men ~f business, who are not affected by the bias of either the lundloird s or the anxnitants, hesitate to discuss a sub ject which they have no tiutm i work out, and on whieb nevertheless, they are expected to he perfectk clear. Under these eircumiistaices, a although it may iavulve a repetition of former statements, it will be use. ful to review on1ce moire the general bearings of the while questii. To arrive at an exact s.lutian, i! wouild be nec ssaryyto.' ascertain the amount of gold and silver in th world, and the present annuual con sumption for coinage and the arts. This is impossible, and coijectural quantities must coiiseqnueuly be tak. en. The total of cin has beea . guessed at ??400.000,000. Uf' this :150,000,000 may be uisna,. "l to Qd,25,000,000 ,silver. ' nua consumption of gold is believed to be under ?6,000.000 Starting with these figures, if the demand for gill were likely to con. tinue limited to its ordinary auu..'unit, an estimate of the eTfect of the sup. plies now pouring upon us could easily be forued-Thoise supplies within the few years since the diseov. cry of Cilifornin, have probably ill the aggregate left us an. excess of upwards of ?30,000,000 over what has hitherto been fond sufficient fur current wants and to maintain air equilibrium in the general relati n, of property. The increase, there. fore, has been equal to twenty pet cent, on the whoae sun iii e.xistence; in other words the measure of value would'appear to have extended one fifth (just as if a tweaty.five inch Ineasute were extended to thir, inches,) and hence the effect to be looked for is obvious where gold i. the standard, the price of every arti cle adjusts itself to the relati iit bears to that metal. If sovereigns were twice as numerous, a man would demand two where he now takes onea. An increase of twenty per cent, in the supply should therefore, have been followed by a proiporinaie ad. vance in the nominal value of al things. ~ ''But signs are wanatinig of' anay such general advance. It is necessary, therefore, to inquire-irst u becther ainy absolute test is available b, which the chanige can be shownm to have taken plhace in soine one in stance, although it umy have been cjunteractedl in others; anid nuex t, if if this be imnpo.ssible, whether lie up parent anomaly cant be explained on different grouinds. T1heo mo(st is!ect test woul'be soughlt in the pice visilver, that ar ticle next to gold hiavinag hitherto been the least liable to variation. But it was Iong ago poinitedl out that ini those countries where g' b1 andl silver constituted eqjually a leg~al ten der, one metal as it baecamne miore abundatnt, would displace the other, amid that the surplus of gold would thus be reduced, and a large amount of disengaged silver be thurowni upon the bullion market ini its stead. Previously to the Califoiruiani <hscov eries, silver was thie circulating ine dium both in Franice and the United States, because since the periods5 when the double stan lard w-as fixed in those counties it had increased tuoro rapidlly than geabl, andl all per s ins having payments to make se lected it, therefoie, as the best mle dJau m. its relat ave chIa) ness5 itn Fance, howe er, as c ingare'l w hi d, was less than two per cent., while in America it was merely frac. tional. When the Californian sup. plies camtte fhrward the difference soon disappeared, and silver would have become relatively much the ;learest but for the displacement which dien, of course, occurred. When one hundred francs in gold, instead of hein worth one hundred and two francs in silver, fell in value to a frrt:cion below one hundred francs in the latter metal, it became forthwith more profitable to make layuents in gold, and to sell silver at the market price for exportation. In this way a large infusion of gold tooik place in France. while in the United Slates it absoslutely became the most common circulating medium. Thus the elleet of the new supplies if goli has not been limited to that metal. but has been litffsed over :oH111 aml silver, and hence, instead of being *qual to twenty ier cent., w behi would have been the case if lie ?10,000,000 of gold had alone hect in question, it has teen only even aad a half per cent. from be spreal over the entire. ?400,000, (;00 &fgl4 and silver. 11, a reconition of this fact all surprise at the absence of any very striking ilhstur'ances up to the pies eut titlei is removed there i3 quite eno ugh '.) wirratit tlle assuin tion tihat ai fluelice 'etIaiig on nlie side to ths extenjt of seven antd a half per e.n t iii been i artially rendered iw ciete tih!e b,; the furce of circum. stancetS in al "I I.' site diiectiol.

A t the samne timge, it tist, not be overlooked that the inicrease of gall chI~ year will have mean whli il dii:ishied thme per centago~ of ateatio in wihich waouild ttherwise take place. For~ nlstancise, the total amount of golf in the world, which is now assmneid at ?150,000,000, and a' priulCtioni ubichi, operating upon the first stum, woisuld, under those circum stanices, cauise only an additional rise of six per centL. I~is is a fea ture of great importance in the whole quelstioni, because it will constantly tend to counteiract that increasin~g ratio of dIistulrbanice which might be ant icipantedl if the sup~ply of' each sue ceedling year should pirove larger andl lin i that, with a dlimainutiom in the purchasing power of gld, there will be a iroper:ion:ate thm11unition in the inducement to sock it. If the quan tity of gold were doubled tai morrow, a man whoj is at present content to work for one once a week, would then not be satisfi.*d with less than two ounces. In the face, however, of these qualifying circumstances, and of the uncertaiuty of all the assumfedl totals that have beea dealt with, it. will be plain to most persons that there is enough to suggest some very decided ideas as to the main results that are coming cn.. A mistake of a hundred millions in the figures one way or the other would only make a difference of three or four years (where the an. nual supply is at the rate of ?30, 000,000) in the date of fli'filmcnt. Even if we were to take the whole ?400,000,000 of assumed money as liable to be acted upon, it would re quire little more than fifteen years of the existing production to cause an alteration in the relations of property of fifty per cent. But it is urged that the extraordi nary impulse given to trade and lux ury by these discoveries, and the greater prosperity of the whole world, will cause an increased demand for coin for circulation, and a vast con sunption of both gold and silver in manufactures and the arts. It is difficult to see how these conclusions are arrived at. In California and Oregon new communities have risen up, numbering two or three hundred thousand souls, among whom com. merce has shown an activity never before witnessed, and vet a few nl lions of bullion have sufficed to estab lish an abundant circulation, although all the means of ectmi:~nising it which are usual in older States, have vet to be intr'oduced. We have here, there fore, a specimen ' . the limitd Ae, mand that would bb created even by the founding of the mightiest socie ties, while as regiards more settle:) countries, it is cer ta inlv n istake to m use tha:t the t8iire;ents for C.i i nc;:;rease. with ihei r+ th!:.f comtT mert 1 i:di .,:' 1 . n ;.'. \Vhei~re : Ger .a o;l. ho ed a few del !atrs, asL'adiiihu l. na w ! 1'ut the ike auen un:l ins01 a m gak:ill in, the sam'e niiner et o r 1ettiest tradesmen. instead 1i ft eing 1mey in a safe, resort i >w n . to S. me s .h. inor te.\cahewi et l . .. /: I..', ee:tui ii i e, eit Ils: it it t t ", c e . , , whether, v'1 t be g u tto i t: i ali. ty and of .. -lhe'ti e skill, the ,lange'r of foirgerv, n,.eb: nas tilt sa.lel (/hj e tIun of nites be \.n 5 a1:1. ,tot als disapitearel.

It is moreover against all experience to suppose that a large demantd would be coincident with a failinig market. With a possibility of gold and silver steadily declininig in value, pcoj le would be much meore likelyv to dininish than to intcreaise thteir peurebaises. 'lhis groundc of calculation sems thier( fore, to haive no better foundation than the other. Any increase of consumption that mtay possibly take place is conise qjuently likely to be altogetler of an: ummrzportaiit kind as regards lie great q1uestioni at issue, and even if any thing of the sort should be observable it will probably he more owing to electro-platinug than anything else; an invention which it was at first thought would hesseii the dlemand, but whicht has increasedl it by superseding all inferior umaterials. We arrive therefore at the uinni. tered coniclusion that the Californiani and Australian: discoveries, even at their present r-ate of *yiel will pr~o duce effects of a mbomenitous chiarac ter, whtich neothintg is likely in an material manner' to coun teract. WX'hati may be witness d if further experi en~ce at Port Philip and Que'en Charlotte's land~ should ..e1:,., the extraordinary contingencies that seem to be indicated, and if the sup ply of silver should simultaneously in crease to the extent that some per sons anticipate, is a problem upor which each inquirer will'rm -liu ow opinion. will remain to point out that simultaneously with these changer the increase of production in article: of food, clothing, and luxury, which has been strikingly manifested as a consequence of ft cc trade, will steadi ly continue, and will thus most 'proba bly prevent most of those articles from rising in price-that is to say although a man ten years hence might have to pay two sovereigns for some few ar ticles, the production of which had remained stationary, where lie would now pay only one he might possibly be able to get a, much flour, or coffee, or calico, foi his oie sovereign as lie gets at this moment. If this be the case, it will be said the position of the aninuitan will be unchanged. But there is something else to be a bledh Al though the income of the annuitant might obtain for him all that he non gets, and his position will be ictually as good as ever. it will no ibeso b) comparison. His income gill hav< stood still while all others lave beer increasing, and, although the greater supply of articles of general coiSumJp tion will enable him to livelas he for nerly did, society at large will havt advanced to noch more textensvt expenditure. A cottager' :wil o: the present day, for instan ,in con sequence of the impn'roveme iii man uactures, wears clothing, which i hundred years back could riot have been obtained by persons 'f wealth but her relative position in the socia scale is precisely the samt as forner ly. If the wealthy lady' h.'hat time were now living, and 'coal ly ref -teonher money w rnte ui io would be in comparative poverty, an. it will be seen, there'bre, the refot that does not follo' frota the fact of an individual being able to enjoy foi the future all that he has hitherto ob twinled that he may not practicall till from a good income to a narrov one. Vith regard to rminor points, litth requires to be said. boine people art still thuiil to ask whether the Bank r to .o on giving the price of ?3 17s Ud. per ounce for gold; whereas, al that the Bank gives when it issues s note is an acknowledgm ent that r certain amzounvt of gold has been de lositel with it, which the trearer mray have back whenever he likes to apply tur it. Gold constitutes the genera mleaiure of price, and the efore is th ioaly thing that has not a price of in olti. It is simlJy receivable at th< rate incitioned; that is to say, wher. one man talks of owing another ?. 17s. 9., lie means that he owes hill anl ounce of goll.

To deplore the announcelient of this fact, is simply to deplore that another gift has been to us. Oi the other hand, their i consequtnces upon the 1movemients of mankind are more palpably beneficial than those of anly other physical e vent pet recorded. hlistory shows the constant influences exercised to induce the race to spread over the earth, so as to avail themselves of all that it offers. instead of yielding to the sel fish indulence that confines thern to limited spots, and wlhether this is brought about by an escape from Egypjt.ian bolndage, by barbarian incurs ionis, by the fiilure of crops, or by political persecutions, the benefi ient end is m less plhinly ar rived at. The po tato rot and the Contitinnial anaichly of 1848 have both caused a distributioo. of those who were un. teachable in any ll'dit1rent way, and w ho wo(uld otlierwise have gone on fimi nair-ery to misery, to without m iiaking the smallest efort to seek a positioni where, instead of' being Ia torment, they might be a benefit to their fe.lb2m:-len.

An eager spirit seems to be all pervading. Enterprizes, which a fe:w years since would be held visionary. now lie with in the reach of a moderate etlbrt. Our sails which so long hung idly flapping the mast, have caught the inspiring gale. Our barque so long becalmed, wakes herself up for the race. Like a met tlesoime courser she has bounded firlh with a gay start, and we need no dread competition from any quarter. A like spirit has been infused into our political position. Our State isno longer in that inactivity which could never harm her foes and would never save her people. Achilles nursed his wrath while he slept in his tent. But while he nursed that wrath his cause was defeated. It was only when he joined his friends, that he became use ill to himself, or to those with whomit lie had a conmon cause. This communism of our own is now thoroughly understood. Its existence and and necessity are no longer de bateable. It has passed now into a fixed principle, and henceforth is to be the beginning, not at once, the end of our aigunent. In living for ourselves, we must live for others. The political relations of nations, occupy the place of those natural alleetions, which knit so close the syimpathies of men, in their domestic capacities. Politically, we are not alone, but part of a faimily. And fi omi that relatioiihi;', are derived certain benefits, and result certain du ties, clear and positive. Whatever may tend to increase these benefits, and enable us most ef. fectually to discharge these duties, be. come imperative on us. And to this point, we propose to address ourselves briefly. The benefits are those which result to any people, from being sustsined and protected by a political nmnion with others, who live under a similar political system. It cicates an alliance, offensive and defensive. It developes a condition of the greatest securij in this promotes their political hppiiiiess. The duties, therefore, are not only to preserve these invaluable ends, but so Jar as we can, to strengthen and im prove them. Now the great defect in our politi. cal co:ndition is, that the botid which should unite most closely the people of our State with the people of the oth er States, is wanting. Nay, the bond which should unite us at lome, each with the other, is not to be found. in South Carolina, there cannot he any union between any two in one matter of the highest consequence to the pub lic weal ; of course there cannot he any union with those outside the State. o a will be a ed why ? The answer is ready : T.e people of &uth Curoli. na have no voice in tl election of the higihest oflice in the Union. Practicul iy, they have no more to do with the chuice of the President of the United States than with the election of the same oflicer in France. They were as touch felt in the late election for Louis Napoleon, as they will be in that of Franklin Pierce. In every portion of the world, the right of the people to be heard is being conceded. It must be so. With thn general spread of intel igien-e, yotn ia as well expect o er. saade the peole to live with fefters on t heir limbs, as with unnatural restraints on their piv.ileges. If money is to be raised, tramt theta come the taxes. It' war is to be waged, fromiz them come the blows.

A ple~l ready to assert, their right, to their frecedom that freedom always pult in issue wthen a Chief lUuier is to be elected-and yet t hat people not allowed to vote ! We do not propose to discuss the reasons as thiey are called, why this is so. 'There is no reasoni focr it. TIhmere can be no reason why, if a people c~tiai to be tree, they should be dhe barred the highest and most im por tant privileges that result from tree dotm.
