Fie is happy to info r nt the Frefulent that the bul

far exceeded what was expected at the begbtnitic
of it> notwithstanding the confideruble check given to
deposits for fome time, b\ free, tent reports trom the
fefil of goverttment, during the laib feftion of congreis,
that the mint wouldbe aboiifhcd.
iince the Hrlt day of January lSo'2, there has been
iflbed from the mint a fun amounting in the whole,
to five hundred and iixteen thousand one hundred and
fifteen dollars, eighty-three cents, as will appear in
detail by Schueduie No. 1, hereunto annexed, which
liave been added to the current coin ot the union. Os
this sum one hundred and twenty-nine thousand seven
hundred and thirty dollars, and uineiv one cents, in
value, in gold, have beet? coined from bullion and
gold dull imported into the United States, and col
letfed to the mint, as a centre from tiic different
parts of the union. The balance of the gold coin
age ha been coined from clipped, plugged and other
w ife foci cd foreign coins. \Vhich have been (enr to
tl*e mint as bullion. Had not this whole fant be< n
coined in the United States, it mufr have been remit
.fed to the European markers ; in which calc the
eight, infura nee ad coni millions, with the profits on
tfxe cents, would have amounted to a sum nearly e
quj 1 to the current expenditure of the mint.
A 11 the deposits were private property, the certifi

There have never been aiiv of the precious inetaU

his habit of vociferating in (ocietv, to the exciufion

of which could no’ be examined in a day, made the houle
indignant and onlv 26 votes could be obtained. Goody

A;:ot her.
The Lnthero feds have been completely jockied,
aid mr. Rutledge is n :it seems to be the lureflor
jot tne federal Jove. At a le’ect Caucus held ft.me
I evenings palt ai i'rauy’s, it WuS determined that. as
J Rutledge would not vole for a declaration ‘fmvr, and
! as the chair was no obje.sl to him, and as mr. Sedg
wick was willing to go -ail l?r.-'th> —as he h.J de
feended from rht lenate—as he vv s ready to
declare war, and *s twelve dollars a day was an
\oljefJ to Theodore, thru lie oupht to be lupport
cd for the chair, The southern feds proteited
against the tajlern decree—Bayard laid the
chair at a former caucus hail been protiiifecl
Rutledge —Craik thought it would be good
policy to fill ic with a iouthe/n man—Evans
Hie wed mathematically r’ o the Virginians
would be difplealed if Theodore litcceeded, be
caule they already complained of the govern
ment being a government of e a [tern men ; and
Dennis complained and Grove kicKed—but
it was all to no pur pole, and mr. Sedgwick is
up as the federal candidate for the chair—*Tis
not certain whether Theodore will iucceed, I
but it is cert in that Rutledge dekrved to be
laughed at —whenever the southern men fol
low the eastern they are invariably jockied
and rode.
RF.MARK \
To per Tons wht> are not intimately acquaint*
with the arts of men of mean or mercenary’
ambition, it may appear abiurd to iuipect
Rutledge of writing concerning himlelf and
betraying the actual Icerris of characters of
his own party, and even Leering at himfelf.
But in theta articles and o'.hers, we perceive
independent of the p Jibuti identity of the wri
ting, rea-fons of a perform l and political nature
to fix thole articles on Rtiiledpe,
1. ills wid’i known expectations of the
fpeakeTs chair when Sedw ick was elected.
2. His v-anitv to be co -fidered as a man of
laih.on and a killing creature among the women.
J. ibs focret but unalterable hatred and
jeaiouiv of Harper.
4. ‘The well known fact that he forfeited j
die confidence of the Yankee feds—upon the
4 ucuion of war.
5. Ills being condancly at the dinner par
ties at Lilton’s.
6. His contempt for Otis and Cham pi in’s
understanding—though much on a par with
his own.
But it wifi be a Heed, why he Hi >uld write
in the Aurora? For very obvious reason
his knowledge of the federal movements en
abled him to fay fb much as was likely to fub
lerve ins own views, without danger of dis
covery sand by publilhing on one fide in the |
Aurora he had an opportunity of answering
himfelf in the Gazette of the U. States, and!
thereby persuading that he could not be the
author of what he answered.
1 he letters of this man have been dlTufed
all over the country, and his conduct is one
among the cogent arguments againftthe blind
ness of fortune in bellowing the means of
employing time ond induftiy to pernicious
