no higher security than the public spirit
Vatld disinterested lies* of their director..—
^Whrie our coins are such as it is the inter-
CBtV the merchant habitually to remit the
India, ftx apology for evading their engage
ments rvillhie sometimes made by the banks,
and cncouraghJ by the people.
Whether we hi 2 to have banlrs or not.
'-Jipwerer, the principles which would pro-
acribe-the India trade, are incompatible
with fair and wise legislation; but it is de
sirable that the regulations of the mint
should be such as may prevent that trade
■ frdioalternately filling and draining the
-circulation of tliecountry; such as shall
not encourage the merchant to make its
coin* the regular subjects of foreign ex
portation.
The inconveniences which have been at
tributed to our present system of coins,
' would in a great measure be removed, if
gold should be made the only legal tender
for all debts above a moderate amount.—
In favor of such a provision, it may justly
be said that there has been less variation
lor some centui iei in the value of gold
than of silver, and tltat it would avoid the
the embanasMix’uts which are inseparable
Irotn a mixed circulation of both metal*.
The balances of payments between differ
ent states would be settled with more ease
than if our coins were principally silver,
and the traveller would be relieved from
the loss and imposition which he frequent
ly suflV-r* whan ho carries with him bank
notes, the value of which must vary with
the course of trade, because their trans
mission cannot cxtixguish a debt, though
it may change its form and its parties—
But, whatever may be the advantages of a
circulation, consisting principally of gold,
wc have been long accustomed to consider
sf silver as the principal measure of value to
make it prudent, or, indeed, practicable,
to supercede its office. To attempt by
law to prevent the currency, or to decry
the value of a metal yvhich the public con
sider as tlie standard .if value, would bn
much more futile than the eoterprice of
giving legs] value to a substance intrinsi
cally destitute of it. There, have, indeed,
been countries in which the use of silver,in
large payments, has been abolished, and
gold substituted, but it is believed that in
those instances, law has only confirmed
the change which had Deeu made by cus
tom.
We may conclude, that, in any amend
ment which may be made to the laws re,-
pccting the coins of the United States,
those of silver must continue to be a tender
in payment of ai! debts.
> An advantage may be afforded to Amer*
ican silver coins in interna) commerce ovef
foreign coins of equal purity and weight,
either by assigning a diminished value to
. , , „ . mint, so as to make 'he dollar of the Unit-
foreign coin, and particularly u'Spanish ^ States c „ nta in S56 40-100 of pure sil-
dotlars, or by reducing the weight of the ver> or 399 56-100 of standard silver; and
American dollar.
The first is impraticable. Tfi? Spanish
dollar, whatever our laws may be, will be
received by the banks and the people.
In all civilized countries (except China,
in which there is no mint) it has been con
sidered a* the office of the government to
ascertain, by it* stamp, the weight and
fineness of the metals whirfi are used as
money. In some countries, and tnese the
‘most enligiiteu, 1! and liberal, the state ex-
sets no duty upon this stamp O'- coinage,
so that the in,liv,dual receives fnni we

r-espevt to h- r go d. coins, and it was >0
aii-.ll recently in respect t» her silver, and
in tne United 9’..tra. In F.ance ana
(treat, Britain, however, 90 foreign coin la
iitt whatever the bullion he’receive*; the
circulation of the country is increased or
dimmish*') without artificial impediments
as the state of it* trade may require, and
the-Tofais of the coin is made to depend
upon the general value of the metal in the
commerci.l world. It vs believed that,
both ni France and England, ho waver it is
made penal to export ir melt-the coin.
Upon the first estabtiulmsot of a mint
in th<r United State-, the question of a
seigneurage anon the coin was necessarily
presented to the 1 sg idfolram Tho secreta
ry of the treasury, in his report on tne es
tablishment of a mint, urges the propriety
of commencing our coinage without a seig
oeursge.or with a small one. “It will be
better to increase it hereafter,” he says
“if this shall be found expedient, than t
recede fiora too considerable a differ
ence.’*
A seigneurage in the United States »il!
produce the effect wl.ici results in -rtfier
countries, drum foreign coins not being al
lowed to be current. It will Cause the na
tional coin to be more valuable at home
than abroad. It will prevent its being
melted or exported'while other com can
be procurer), anil may thus effect, in some
degree, by an application to the interests
of the citizen, ail object which the penal
provisions of other states have been very
unsuccessful in attaining. It will indi
rectly cx-.iude foreign coin from circdlx
tiun, gud Liu* make the quantity and value
of tlib cam which we employ more Jiii-
fnrm. It must be considered, however, as
principally recommended by the character
aud amount ot our trade to India, and it
will be remembered that this trade had
been scarcely opened at the period of Mr.
Hamilton's report.
If a small seigneurage be imposed upon
the stiver coin ol (he United States, and
no other foreign min but the Spanish dol
lar be allowed to be current, it is probable
that silver, from the same countries, and to
the same amount, would be sent to the
miut as if there were no seigneurage it
would be sent only when it was wanted
for the circulation of the country; and it
would be as valuable to the individual, for
this purpose, after the duty was deducted,
as it there were none. Tne mint would
not, in this case, receive Spanish dollars
and it does not now. The banks would
have an obvious interest in converting all
their coin into that which would be least
liable to exportation. The India merchant
unable after a short time to collect his car
go to advantage from the circulating inn
ney of the country, would prepare his sil
ver for India, as fie does his musliqs for
Europe. Neither this regulation, howev
er, or any other, will retain in the country
a quantity of coin disproportioued to. the
amount ol property which it is employed
in exchanging. It will not prevent the
perpetual banishment.of the precious met
als, if a paper not convertible into specie
is supported by law or public opinion. It
■nay indeed well be questioned whether a
sound circulation cao be obtained with an
amount bf bank paper as large as we have
find, even af periods subsequent to the late
war, and whether the amount can be per
manently diminished unless the present
bank capital of the country be reduced.—
But these questions do uoi fall within the
province of the committee appointed to re
port on the laws “which regulate the coins
of the United States, and foreign coins.”
In a fair exposition of the effects of a
seignneurage upon coins.it must be ad
mitted that, where it is exacted, coin will
be generally, but not always, more valu
able than its weight in bullion. While,
then, it is believed that, in the United
States, it would tend to make the value of
our money more uniform, it is denied that
an opposite result may sometimes, and,
where the seigneuri.ge is high enough to
make it a resuurce ot government, may of
ten be produced by it.
A nation which employs both gold and
silver as its legal money has an additional
inducement to those which have been
mentioned for establishing a seigneurage
on one or both metals. The relative va
lue of these continually changes; and a
small change, which, without a seigneur-,
bge, would make it the interest of the
merchant to export the one and import
the other, will not produce that effect if
there be a seigneurage upon the undervalu
ed metal.
The reasons which may be urged in
favor of a seigneurage upon silver have
not the same force in respect to our gold
coins. There is no country to which gold
is the regular objects of remittance from
the United. States; and a difference of va
luation is not necessary in order to give
to the gold coin of the United States an
advantage.ininternal commerce, over oth
er coins, because it is not impracticable to
exclude foreigugold directly from general
circulation.
The committee submit to the house the
following provisions:
1 That 14 85-100 grains of pure silver
shall be deducted, as a seigneurage out
of every amount of 571 25-100 grams of
such silver deposited for coinage at the

informed thst we think it unnecessary for us to
enter into a full discuction on the merits of Mr.
Crawfords Indian report, as our opinions have
already been given at Urge on that subject. They
are still unchanged; and we think none but a vi
sionary would propose ex tfficie to a people like
the Americans an alliance by intermixture of Hood
with the savages, as careless of their persons as
they of their minds. We would isk our friend,
"Fiat Juttiiia,” whether it wculd he prudent or
patriotic to annihilate the comforts, the natural
feelings, and honest propeosities of our own peo
ple, of our oWn young men and maidcn9, for the
purpose of trying another experiment to civilize
those whom natuie has made wild and uncivilized,
and who remain untimeabl* after the unsuccess,
ful experiments of morathanacentury and* half?
\Ve would enquire where is the beheVdrehce, the
patriotism, the attachment to social happineas, in'
sacrificing our own people and tbeir comforts to
the pleasures of the savegr?
For instance, were "Fiat Jmtitia’t” sister or
daughter married to a red, fiat-headed savage
whose wigwam isadorned with half a dozen human
scalps; were she forceel to toil in the field, while
her dear warrior was smoking tobacco or lying
drunk at home— would her condition be prefera-
ble to civilized life? Or, were "‘Fiat Juttiiia”
himself to form a connection with a squaw, well
versed in inserting lighted splinters into the flesh
of the captive, and in getting drunk, what plea
sure, what hopes, could he place on such a being?
None, but would be extremely offensive to any
liberal mind.
I.YTERES TLYB REPORT.
We have occupied almost the whole of our pa
per of to-day wiih the report of tlie committee of
Finance, to whom bad been referred the resolu
tion of senate to enquire into the expediency of
prohibiting by law the exportation of the gold,
silver or copper coins of the United States. Ac-
comparing this report is a letter from the secre-
ty of the treasury. The senate iiave concurred in
the report-of the committee, who have recom
mended that no ltgiilitive act be passed oa tbe
subject.
We are told that, the duchess of Parma intends
to visit England with the view of presenting a
prayer to the throne, for the removal and bet.er
accommodation of Napoleon, iter husband. Vain
effort! As well might she beseech the hungry tyger
to unloose his prey, or the grave to give up its
victim, as to ask mercy of a government whose
cruelty and amb.iicn, bice eternity, has no bcunds.
U the public prints are an index to the sentiments
of the people, general Jackson is surely the Ajax
of the day. He has with him the back-bane of tbe
nation. No man during the war, cn land—nay,
no man in any part of the world—ever *0 com-
pletely humbled the pride of our late enemy, as
Jackson did;—therefore, i*t the opinion of alt tho e e
who thought it "unbecoming a moral and religious
people to rejoice at our victories," this must
have been a very immoral and unbecoming action;
and Jackson a very immoral and unbecoming, vile,
bad mas; and the execution of two savage-angl
Indian.inccndiaries, affords these pious politicians
an excellent and becoming excuse, to vomit up
the bde which has been eecreting in their pious
stomachs ever since the 8th' day of January, 1815-
It is really laughable to sec what sticklers Theo
dore Dwight, tlie blue-light secretary, and Billy
Coleman are for the constitution. What a pity
’tis that these gentlemen did not think of this dur-

Where then sue their quabsa of conscience?
