CHANGE—REFORM.
The Richmond Enquirer of tbeSoth ult.remarks
—“G.-ncml Harrison's Election wus lo bring in the
Millenium upon iis. It uns to operate ns n charm
upon the discuses of tho body politic. It wns to
euro nil our distresses, lotnovo nil our einhan-ns*
inonts, nnd bring inn new ora of prosperity upon us.
What n humbug! Aro tho limes improved? Where
is the reform promised u»! Where is that mighty
•* change" which the God liko Webster held out l°
tie? No where: It is nil n humbug! Tho body politic
is grievously dUtempmcd, but it requires something
more th in politiculchurhitnnism to bring every thing
right. It requires lime nnd prudence, mnro limn
the qunehery ofn lVcrhlent, or Ids miserable Clique
to set all things straight. Lcnvo Nature more to
herself, nnd forbear to call in the quack. The Ila|
ximore Republican has the following happy toucli n t
the times:"
Harrison Price*.—The Muskingum Vulhy. a
paper published at McConnellsville, in Ohio, says,
•• pork is offered nt $3; wheat nt 48 cents; Hour i*
$2,75; labor is $10 per month; nnd Gnllipoliscurrcn
cy is worth one cent in a hundred dollars." Thu
Editor supposes tho case of nil individual residing
in th’itpnrt of the countiy, npp'ying for n ticket for
one of the Harrison balls,the price ofwliich hasbeen
fixed nt$I0, nnd romiiiks, that lo pay fer the ticket
ho would Imvutu pay what would purchase 300 lbs.
of poik;22 bushels of wheat; 750 pounds offloiit; or
1,000 dollars in Gullipolis pnprr, or wlmt ho would
get liirune mouth's labor. And such is tho rcstorn
lion of confidence, the re-ostnhli*hincnt of credit,
nnd the incronsu of prices, which wo were pronds
-cl iu case of the election of General Harrison. How
have the people been humbugged? Tho speculators

“Tho only remaining question then is tint of
expediency. The question of light i* settled; and
tvliat stronger confirms it is, that no Ainciican, who
has over examined ilio subject, dissents from the
decision. The ties of consanguinity, r«f ntfi-ciion
nnd of interest, which exist between this try
nnd Great Britain, nre s • strong nnd «n cordially
•cheri-lre-l by most Americans that scarcely an net

of nut ions or of equity, meets with iinquulified cen

does it with magnanimity. She retained possession
of M chigun. mote than twelve years nftcr tho c ore
-of iho Revolutionary wm; yet she finally relinquished
it wiihout n rupture; nnd I urn g'ad of the opinion
Hint she will yet forego this claim. It is no less her

less impot tunt to her ihnn to os. Her claim is with

LIQUIDATION.
A Cincinnati Editor discourses ns follows:—
<Jo into Liquidation—Un* Lccomo n favorite
phrnio with tho wutihl he wise ones of tho financial
world. It has a wide meaning. Just sea how many
n do it will apply to! First comrs your whiskry
ker, and your wine bibhar; ho is always ready
for “liquidation," und ho “goes into"it nnturullv.
—Noxt tho wit.de rncooftcn drinknrs—n Inrga body
—“go into liquidation," over fivo cups of summing
Hyson, and cry. with n pleasant spirit, pcarn bo to
Chinu! Next coinesyoor real fat man, whoso clns
sic taste adheres to grenso (Greece,) be, hi n July
day, “goes into liquidation" in t ho mostensy way.
Next appears tliu iiinumcrnblo body of delitori,
wIuko last dollnrwas long *incn molted down. Then
comes tho Treasury-of the U. States. It is in a stnto
nf complete “liquidation," and hnsfiowed own* so
pctfectly that no mortal can find where ills or wlmt
w as in H.
Then comes the great Vnn Boren, Loco Fnco.
Democratic party. That has “ gone into liquidn
lion," nnd (lowed in stroatns down to the great
ocean of destruction. It will hereafter be culled
the Dead Sea.
Then coma State*, Banks. Empire?*, Egypt, Chi
no, things great nnd things sm II, nil Itavo “got:0
intoliqiiidniion."
Verily, tho bunkers did not know whnl n profound
philosophical term they have Invented. It suits nil
fashion*, tastes, bud conditions. It is a putt, of a
true, drop, old, reverend nnd just philosophy uf hn
man nature,—wlrich sniih “ tho fashion of this
world pnsseth nwny." And whntis this hut •' going
into liquidation.—(Tincinnefti Chronicle.
The idens of the Editor aforesaid, when Ito hull*
ted iho nbove, /lowed too fust into liquidation, when
hn puts down the Democratic Party of tliis Country
ns "gone into liquidation."
If ha means llinl they have gone into “the act of
lessoning dolus," a lexicographer's definition, ho is
right, for they 1;t»Ve not only lossened tho debt* of
he Nation, hut still desire ns a party to continue
nt tho work.
The Cineiiuinti Editor, however, (loos not mean
this, for Ito has consigned ilia party to tlio "grea 1
ncoun of dost ruction.” Ho means t lint they have
'cleared away" by their course ilio capital on
which limy transacted the business nf politics. N'*t
so fiio, Mr Editor. Wcbelieve thnt tho Democrat-
thirty i,over was stronger. Liko tlio fabled gi
ant they linvo derived fresh energy from being
throw n to the earth, nnd the “ IV7«'gs" par excel
lenee, cru long will see it. Wait In Guorgia, for
example, until the October election, and tho "wind
bags" of Governor McDonald \\ ill explode, like
thunder, upon tho cars of his adversaries, puiifying
tho political atmosphere of Republican Georgia,
loaded with tho pestilent vapor* of modern Whig,
ism.
W. C. Dnwson, we prophesy, will not stand tho
trial, but will be rejoiced, if so fortunate, to lull in
the choir of Speaker of tho House of Congress, or
retire, beyond sous, for tho bouefit of his health.
If ilia Cincinnati Editor had pointed to the Mam*
modi expedient of the Pennsylvania Whigs for n
Notional Bnnk, nnd said that institution was fast
“going into liquidation," ho would linvo been right.
But, no he must bewail, rather, tho state of the U.
S. Trcasuiy, which he would with to sea bloated
with a surplus, so that tho States, tho should be
mnslers nf thn confederacy, would be compelled to
beg subsistence of their Federal Agent, and feed,
liko cattlo, from a servant’s crib.

Extraordinary Affairs of Honor —An expedi

been several duels fought) 'me between Dr. Robinson

The nbove most extraordinary statement is taken

Wc Imvo little chnngu to notice in iho money
market -luring the present week. If any it is for
the better, though the hank* continue to discount
sparingly, nnd confine tht?ni»*-lve# tnc-sily to shoit

12 perce nt per annum. Tho con Lined fall in Mate

The statement of tlio U. S. Bank, published here
ilio first week in Janumy hud been received in Lon
-Ion, ond gave risa lo much •peculation n* lo th'*
ability oftho Bank to resume und imiintuin specie
piymoots. The sharr* hud fallen lo £ 11 Ills., u
decline from the previous quotation of about £3
par share. Much apprehension ha* been expressed
in Wa I street in regard to thn ncceptnncu of ill-*
bill* drawn upon Morison. Of this we nrn assured
theta can bn no doubt, nml if, as wo understand,
they are ujMin actual negotiations completed und so
curities hypotheesied.e r fu«nl lo n--cept would lot
perfectly unjustifiable. S-s far from this being the
case, we understand that letters from Mr Jaudan,
written after tho receipt of ih* intelligence referred
to, express hi* ability io negotiate a farther loan,
but tho completion of which ho dnluye-l until lie
should bo advised of the resumption The new* nf
the »u*|ien*ion would rtf courso have tho effect lo nut
an end to nay farther negoiMtirJns ih behslf of that
instil'it inn, and would probably chock all ojierutiuns
in American securities.
The consideration nf tho most importance to us,
ut present, Is tho probability of any being sent hack
to this country for sale. The low q-miuii-ns ur.d
declining msikut which nrcompanie-l the new* of
the suspension, would afford iliem but a slender
prospect of real'zing tr.oie for ib-*ir *t-»cks bereibun
they would be likely lo bring in l^ndon! while tbo
high price at which mart of iho stock owned in Eu
ropo was purchased, nn-1 thu cinn-quent heavy Inis
