He has wrung all the money he could out of the American laborer, and deserves to be kicked out of all honorable society. Anotrkk Effort ifo Cheat the People.—I t is said tluit a bill will be offered, after the meeting of Congress, to make the silver dollar heavier. Every grain added to the dolllar above 412$ is just so much (honey added to the horrid cheat—the public ifebt, which the people were made to incur by the want of slatesmauship,and afterward werecheated into promising to pay more than they had contracted for. This proposed bill, as published in the paj>en), is a scandalous fraud. Silver is used in France and England as money to-day just as it ten or twenty years ag<|>. Neither nation having changed the quantity of silver in their coins, becaus« of the asserted cheapness of bullion. Wlisn the holders of gold bullion are changed for Its coinage into money at our mints as the holders of silver are charged mow, the gold dol lar will be worth no more than tlie pre sent standard silver dollar. Let Con gress order the mints to refuse to coin gold for nothing, and charge for coining it at precisely the same iate that they now charge for coining silver ; or to buy gold bullion and coin it as they now buy silver bullion. Go|d is enhanced in value hy its coinage jind There can 1»« no doubt of this. cans nia in a to say as money. the the The American Navy.—O ur small American navy was once the dread «if tlie civilized world.

Th« great victory ot New Orleans was| almost eclipsed by this tinds bf many, ami esjH'cially one,in tlie I» in the ini nils of such American mer cliau-s as iiad ait«;d so inaiit years for jiayment for tiulir vessels, s«-iz«*«l upon the high seas.

We, therefore, copy the following brief reference to it from Eneyclopo dia Aineric we will not b<* thought to be pandering to any political party by publishing it.— The American navy owed ils greatimss to the political parties of the days when it was not thought a disgrace to be a We ■i«' politician, ami when a "no-party" man, America!), bad no standing any ilere is what was thought of the 9 American Navy—what is now thought of it, is a matter of which we cannot speak witli certainty. The Encyclopae dia says : •'Since tlie last war, tlie growth and improvement 1»f our navy ha« kept pace national prosperity, now put to s«*a. in a few months, witli a dozen ships of tlie line, the most spacious, efficient, best and most beautiful con struction that ever traversal ihe This is not ulerely an American c Imp an admitted fact in Europe, wher our models are studiously <*opied. 1 the L'nit«*d .States, a maximum j if I whore. itli cean ceit, • uni form calibre of cannon has been lately determined on and adopted instead of tlie variety of length, form -, M-ill used in other navies, and almost equal to the* Great Michael with 1er 'basai s, mjynards, hagters, flings, falcons, double dogs and pestilent serpentera.' "Our sli ps offer flush and uniform id calibre •ui votings d«*cks, sli«;ers tree from hills, hoi'« excresencesf, and complete unbroken bat teries of thirty-two or forty-two pound ers. Tints has been realized an portant dysideratum—the greatest pos sible power to do execution coupled with the greatest simplification of the means. But, wl ile we have thus im proved upon the hitheifto practise«l means of uaval warfare, ws 4« threatened with vs and a total change. This is by the introdne tion of ty'iiibs discharged horizontally, instead of shot from common cannon. So certain are those who have turned • heir at ention to this subject that the ] change must take place, that, in France, they are already speculating on the means of excluding these destructive on t»*d by only ami took the The and the a the and The tin missiles lroin a ship's sides, hy casing them in a cuirass of iron. "Nor are these ideas the mere offspring of idle 9|>eculation. Experiments have lieen tried on hulks, hy tsuuhs projected iiorizontally, with terrible effect. If the projectile lodged in a mast, in exploding it overturned it with all its yards and rigging ; if in the side, the ports were opened into «ach other; or when near the water, an immense chasm was open ed causing the vessel to sink immedi ately. If it should not exploite until it fell spent upon the deck, beside doing the injury of an ordinary ball, it would then burst, scattering smoke, fire and death on every side. When this comes to pats it would seem that the naval profession would cease to be very desirable." We want our American boys to feel proud of the navy and we have therefore hastily thrown together the remarks that precede the above account from the En cyclopaedia, and elsewhere publish an ac count of the remarkable battle between the "Wasp" and the "Frolic." No that tbe yet, ter Tiik Nêrth American otfsets Senator Wallace's arraignment of tlie Republi cans for election fraud« in the North, by reminding him that "the Democrats cheated the Republicans in Pennsylva nia wherever they had the chance." The venerable hut sprightly organ should bear in mind that the Democrats haven't had a chan«*«* to cheat the Repu id leans for many years, and it is probably growing monotonous for Senator Wallace and his friends to find the bulk of cheating against them for half a lifetime.
