A. R Some points and reflections bearing on the momentous discussions on the Currency and Hanking voir before the public. Huron Ilumboldt, in his political essay :>n the kingdom of New ?pain, (vol. 3, p. 151.) after a very elaborate examination into the production of the mines of the new continent, Europe, Asia and Africa, states the probable annual increase ol the Ejold and silver currency of Europe to be ibout lifeen millions ol dollars. His cal. :ulntion was made at the close of the 18th md beginning of the 10:h century. Of his nine-tenths was furnished by America. Vow, if we take into consideration that >incc that period many of the most producive mines in South America have been enircl/ destroyed and abandoned, and the est but indifferently worked? when wo consider that the extraordinary increase of he use of tea since that time (about 400 >er cent.) requires greater exports of the jrccious metal to the East Indies and Chila, from whence it seldom or ever returns ?when we reflect that the extraordinary ;rowth of luxury all over the world, has since that lime vastly increased the use of silver plate, gold, gilded and plated manufactured wares, we may say to an almost in.Tvdibie amount, may we not safely draw [he conclusion that this annual increase is now not only greatly diminished, but has perhaps entirely ceased ? In the Encyclopedia Americana (vol. 4) under the article " Europe," it is stated that :hc public debt of all the European States In 1528 amounted to 12,100,449,109 gui!Jers, or, at 40 cents the guilder, 84,960,179,G43. This immense sum forms a captal to the European, on which, by pledging If, he cm* obtain loans with case Irom the bankers, Arc. It is these stocks which are irincipally used by brinks, private bankers, &c., to cover their issues, instead of specie, md represent the capital upon which they ilford loans and issue paper. Since the year 1S20, those 1". States tavc paid off their public debt, amounting hen to about 84 millions of dollars. A rreat part of this amount was owned or decided to foreign capitalists, and with the iddition of a considerable sum of the late L n:tcd States Bank slock also owned bv orcigners, a very large amount has been .vitbdrawn from the country within a few icars. The great dormant resources of he United States Bunk, until thqalfairs ^f the old bank arc fiually settled, amount. ! ng probably to many millions, deserve jrcat consideration. The great accumulation of the surplus rerenue in the coffers of Ciovemmcni, albough partially used by tlie deposite banks | n short loans o the public, must necessarily unbarrass and injure ihc circulation, by creiting uncer'ainty. &e. The winding up of the U. States Bank I md its branches, and consequence do- j angemont of long established, regular, safe, 1 iasv and rapidly circulating internal ex- ; lianges, has also largely contributed todi- i ninish the circulating medium. j The withdrawal of small notes must also i lave largely contributed to diminish the j imount of the circulating medium?I do j lot know the exact amount, but should [ leem it to he not loss than six to eight mil- j ions. The millions of gold coins | atoly issu"d afTord the community hut lit- | le b*-unfit, as it is to my knowledge gen- jt<i 11 v hoarded up, bv big and little, for j >orket pieces. The immense army cf emigrants from he old States to the West, no doubt carries j nth it and hoards npa vast amount ofspecie ind bank notes, which for a cousid rah! } imc must be kept outofcirculati ?r. The j brcingof specie from the sea-boar i \ i r!:e Vest in consequence of tiro Trcu >ury or- j !er, must have had its share in derm jeing | rc-mpv trn''crt,.;,:v? I'd'.lmuy.h It v i'l finally ? flow (but slowly) back from whence it came, yet it must of course have the effect to diminish the circulating medium for a time, directly, besides what it does in a . still graterratio, indirectly, by the uncertain ! { ty and the apprehensions it creates in all j i banking operations and calculations. The high prices of every article in use amongst us, the daily increasing population, c .'terprFe, improvements and luxury?naturally require an enlarged circulating medium. 1 It seems as if our State legislators lose i 1 ' sight of the very important fact, that while j they legislate on banking, or properly speak- j ing, on the currency in one way, five and ( twenty other States legislate on the same j subject in a quite different way. For in- j sance, Massachusetts, with only one im.a j of the population ofXcw York, has find at an early date a larger banking capital, and has at this time three and a half millions more than New York ! Yet to my certain knowledge, gained by experience, funds in Boston iiave had the preference during the lastthir y years in Babimor.', Philadelphia and New York, and were very often at a premium, and to the best of rt\Y recollection never below par. The present banking capital of Pennsylvania, with her mammoth of 35 millions, (under the direction oi one general,^ exceeds that of New York ahnut iwm.tv :wo millions, and I foresee, I / ~ ? I ju?lirin^ from things as they look now, Pcnn| sylvania in a few years, if an abundant capita! can produce tnc result, will add 10 j the title of iho "Key Stone State" that of ! the Umpire S ate ! Tne immense banking ' capital of Louisiana, of some 60 millions, j and the late great increase of banks with | very large capitals in the western and south: ern States, on (to say the least of it) very liberal principles, also deserves considcra ; tion. It ought also not to be forgotten that the city of New York is at present the prin, cipal money mart of the United States, to ! which all look for their supplies of specie, l and from the relations in which it stands I with the res: of the United States, N. York ! must in the case of panic, Arc. suffer all the J evils resulting therefrom in a greater ratio i the States whose system of bunking has * ? ! ' produced lnem?oecuuse, uurmg uic nine , : the system worked well, tiiey hail all the ( benefit that could be derived from .1 super- i abundance of money, when New York had ; none or comparatively little, and that only, . in an indirect manner. The superabundance of bank paper in j titc State of Massachusetts, ever since the ! introduction of the paper currency, has ofj ten enabled its citizens to borro w money on j long loans from their banks, at the rale of j 4 a o per cent, which they again loannd to j the New Yorkers at 7 and in Wall-street at ! more per cent. It is owing to their bank; ing system that they have been enabled to ! erect such numerous and splendid manufac1 turing establishments?while at the same ; time the tonnage of their shipping surpasses that of the Empire Statu. Massachusetts, | with one third of the population of New , York, had on the 1st of December last an i j authorized banking capital of about forty j I one millions, and a little over one million ! j of dollars ix specie in tllC Vaults of llCr ! banks! Call this a hummus if you please j ?but it has resulted in a reality, by making J the J9tatc rich and prosperous. The great Empire-State,with its conimcr* ! ei.il emporium doing considerably more than I half tho foreign business of these United I i States?with an inland water navigation and i hydraulic powers greatly exceeding those of any other State, and with which those of I Massachusetts cannot be brought into com| parison, and with a population about three, i times as great as Massachusetts, has bu j thirtv-seven and a half millions! j Permit me to make a comparative state. mcnt of the authorized banking capital of; ; Massachusetts and New York at different i periods, taken from a report made by the j Secretary of the Treasury to Congress, on 1 tho 4th of Jannarv last, viz : list.

CHER AW GAZETTE. | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19? 1837' We refer the reader to the article from the I Southern Christian Herald in a preceding column, on the Constitutional power of .Con| grcss to abolish slavery in the District of Cc| lumbia. The stand taken by the I^egislature j of Massachusetts on this subject, warns the j South that it is time to prepare for the worst. When one branch of that body declare by a vote of 378 to 16 that "Congress possesses the right to abolish slavery" in the District of Columbia; and the other?the graver branch too ?by unanimous vole, declared "that the exercise of such right is demanded by the enlightened sentiment of the civilized world, by the principles of the Revolution and by humanity," and furthermore (with but one dissenting voice) "that no new State should .hereafter be admitted into the union, whose constitution of Government shall sanction or permit the exis- I tencc of domestic slavery;" we can hardly look upon it in any other light than as a deliberate declaration, on the part of this respectable j State, in favor of a dissolution of the union. Massachusetts is scarcely so ignorant of pub-; lie sentiment at the South as to believe that j ^ any single Southern State would submit to ', such an assumption (or exercise, if she prefers | i the term) of power by Congress. If the other J' northern States suktain her in Iter positions, there is but ope course lor trie South to pursue. Congress cannot be permitted in any ( war to in interfere in the domestic relations ] of the Southern people; or to adopt measures jf leading Jo such interference. On this subject i ali are ready to adopt and art out the mot*p [ obsta principiis. ?t rilE KIND OF STUFF WITH WHICH ABOLITIONISTS FRIGHTEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN. | The X. Y. Fvangclist of Feb. 11th contains a report of the proceedings of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society at its fifth anniversary, from which we extract the following speech of a "colored gentleman." Here Mr. Jhnson, a colored man of Boston, j, was introduced, and gave an interesting and j1 aliccting narrative ot ins being kidnapped. ] when a boy in Africa, and brought to this country, and sold into slavery.?fie manifested much shrewdness and kept tiie audience alternately excited with laughter with his keen j < sarcasms, and melted into tears, at the recital j 1 of the wrongs of the slave. lie related a fact j1 winch he had witnessed?a gentleman from 11 the north was dining with a slaveholder at St. 1 Mary s?a female slave dropped some gravy 1 on the dress of her mistress, and her master ; rose trom the table, and dragged her out of > doors;and cut oil" her head with his carving j knife ! He then returned, washed his hands, : and sat down to his dinner as if nothing had happened. The court was in session, and the ; northern gentleman immediately left the table,; and went and entered complaint; but he was ; not saiisiied with southern customs, ill he had ; to do was to take himself back to the north. He said he had seen a professed Christian j tie up four slaves and whip thein till they were j raw, and then pour beef brine upon the wounds. '> He once knew eight slaves tied up in a barn, in j a co'd "'ghfto ')e whipped, next m.timing; next | morning they were dead! I fe had known masters topay live for shooting a slave because ; he had been to reeling. It wag a common! thing for slaves to be wlrpped for worshipping j their Maker. lie knew a gcul man who al- \ ways got 150 lashes Monday monimg; but after receivimz them ho would iumn over the fence, 1 and pray for his persecutors. But, when they j found they could not stop him, he was shot! j It is common, said he, for the slaves to have stents. If you no do them you get whip. The women lash their children on their back*, and go to work in the lieid?if the children cry, they most stop and nurse them?and often the men will help out their wive's stents, and let their own go, in order to take the whipping in place of their wives; for who could see a wo* mail whipped for taking care of his own child. (Emotion.) "Slavery is the cruel i^t ting in th xcorld." Here Mr. J. expatiated very sensibly upon the peculiar evils of slavery in this country, and very suddenly, pointing to Mr. Garrison, said, uDat man is de Moses raised up for j our deliverance." (Tremendous applause.) j Ilerc he related the circumstance of a gentleman having proposed to him to decoy Mr. Garrison from his otlice, and deliver him into the hands of some persons who would take him i .1 1 i r to lieo7?ia and ^ccurc tiio reward oiiereu ior his head. 11 Mt he said he would lose his own : life in defence of that man, sooner than a hair ! of his head should he hurt. Some say, said he. they would rather be I slaves than free?What! if you had a horse, j would you give him a pint of corn a day 1 Can | a man be content wid dat ? O, how many j children go to master's crib every Saturday j night, and draw but two quarts of corn a week ! ?a man and wife, half a bushel, and two or three herring. This Mr. JrJinson was probably a fugitive slave who was brought from Boston to "to make a speech" and repeat some of the "anecdotes i of slavery" with which he used to make "the colored ladies and gentlemen" of that "Athens j of America" stare. The following is part of the spcecii made i by a white gentleman at the same meeting. ! I am told it is common to work slaves to j death?I do not. mean an every day business? ! j that would be impossible?but at certain junc-. tures, to make close calculations, and in time ; of good market > for cotton or rice, deliberately , to task the slaves beyond their powers of er.du ranee, to hurry the crcps to market. It is cal-' eulated that they can afford it! Yes, the j increased price of cotton will more than re- J place the loss by death, of a few negroes !! Is j murder a "hard word" forslavcry ? Who would ! not rather die by the band of the assassin, than ! to be worked to death 1 ? . i j The reader wiJi be amused at the fallowing j ; resolution and speech of another colored gen- j j tlcman taken from the same report. Rev. Mr. Easton. a colored gentleman, in- j troduced the following resolution : That the spirit of insurrection and insubordination, of the slave population of this countrv, is restrained more by the influence of the j free colored population, than by all the oppresI give legislative enactments of the slave holdj ing states. J lie said that the destinies of these United , ! State, ere placed, under God, in the hands I of the free colored people. They hold an in ! tcrmediate position between the slaves and i their oppressors; and they were able to exert j ! an influence, for weal or for woe, over their i brethren, upon which the destinies of the na-! tion are suspended. I speak, said he, in behalf of the intelligent portion of the colored j population, when I say that they understand j this; and that their course is directed with the j prudence and caution becoming so great a res- i ponsibility.
