specie!
W e copy the following article from the New
\ ork Journal of Commerce.
1 hr exportation of specie has heen going on for i
some weeks past, and this week much mure liber
aHy than at any lime before. We presume the
same tendency will continue through next month,
and perhaps longer. It would noth© strange if five
mil,ions should go iff,clearing the nmrkt loi the quan
tities «,t .Mexican dollars and other silver which is
hehl merely us niercliand ze, and perhaps drawing
from the Hanks most of their American half dollars
at a premium of a half to one per cent. 'The Banks
have a large amount of gold, which is run wanted
l*»r exportaiion at the present rates of exchange, and
,s n< *‘ hhely l«» he cal ed for. The hanks therefore
are not called upon for specie I > supply the foreign
demand, by the presentation of claims upon them.
I he operation now going on is altogether healthy,
for specie had accumulated here until it had become
bnrthensomo. In fact the dollars <>t .Mexico are no
more a part of onr currency, than her cochineal
They are merely merchant! /•. If the process of
shipping specie should go on until money w ere
made scarce, the pro. ess would he healthful, and
one which ought lo induce no fictitious movemen s o
prevent it. Il the tendencies of trade tire left *o them
selves, they will produce just so much pressure as
ought to exist, and no more The extremes of uc
lion will be counteracted in the gentlest manner
possible, and without running on to those ngorp/ing
spasms ol revulsion which h ive characterized the
nge ol regulation 'l’here is no apprehension of a
severe pressure upon the money market during the
coming winter, though it would he unreasonable to
expect that money w ill l**ng continue as plenty ns
it ha- been for some months past Various reasons
have ( (inspire.l to render importions large and ex
portations small lately, but a couple of months wi I
he likely to reverse these proportions. Take it all
in all, trade was never better with ns than nl pre
sent. Our mined city yet stands the great com
mercial emporium.
SCT The following is an extract from the Pr* sent
ments ofthe Grand Jury of Morgan Comity, Sep
tember'Perm IHH.
'i’here is a subject of a general character, in which
not only our whole community, hut onr fellow citi
zens ihroiuihoni the Stale arc interested, on which
the (fraud Jury will make a few remarks: we allude
lo the Slate of our currency. This has been and
still is greatly deranged. VN ithoiit inquiry into the
causes of this derangement, we feel the ills conse
quent thereon, and therefore more directly interest
ed in the annulment of a remedy for these evils It
every bank note in circulation amongst ns w as con
vertible into specie, upon presentation nl the
place of issue, this derangement would immediate
ly cease aa the difference in llie value of a bank
note between any two given points of the Slate,
would only he the price ol transporting the specie
therefor Iroin one point to (he other. 'I his is u clear
proposition, as specie is of * qua) value every where.
The most obviunsreiiiedy therefore,which suggests
isiselffor the evils of our deranged currency, is the
adoption of such laws as will compel 'he suspend
ed iianks to redeem their hills in specie. Il is aqnes
non whether any net ol our Legislature, imposing
penalties upon sllie hunks for a failure to redeem
their hills in specie, different from those imposed at
the time of granting their charters, would he consti
tutional. If it he, w e should consider it obligatory
ii|H»ii onr representatives to urge the passage of
such an act as will coerce the banks into a resump
tion of specie payments. If it be uol, then the only
remedy is with the people themselve*. That rem
edy consists in a refusal lo pay or receive the hills
of suspended hanks, only at their real value This
the people may do, and tins the people ought to do.
The lime is near at hand w hen onr cotton crop goes
forward—if every planter will sell Ins cotton only
for such bank hills as ur convertible into specie,
the w bole cash proceeds ol I he cotton crop will then
constitute a sound circulating medium —il then ihc
depreciated hank hill-now in circulation he receiv
ed only at their true value, specie being (he stand
urd,we have at once restored tons a sound circnlu
lion in the Stale. This the citizens of Morgan, and
ofthe State, may accomplish if they will. We re
commend I he adoption ol tins course, so no as onr
Morgan fellow citizens are concerned, universally'.
Whether this will he the meaps, or whether others
must he resorted to for furthering a uniform curren
cy (hr nghoul the Union, experience must determ
ine.
This body would further express the opinion that
reduction in the salaries of onr public officers from
the highest to (lie lowest, would . e expedient at tins
tune. —Onr fellow citizens u«-nerully are compelled
lo maintain themselves and families on a rate of in
come greatly reduced in amount, in consequence of
a decrease in the price of produce, and accompan
ied willt this reduced income, there in a charge up
on llie same of additional luxation, for the support
of the Government, and yet onr public officers re
ceive as large salaries as w hen the pi enniary condi
tion ofthe people was prosperous. Equity seems to
require that the ofliaers should share with the peo
ple the reduction of their income.

Utica, Sept. 27, 1811.
The Circuit Court opened, in ibis ctl y, this morn- 1
mg, Judge (.rally presiding, mid having lor asso
ciates the County Judges, While, Jones, Roberts i
1 and King. 'The Conn boom was opened nl nine i
oVI -ek, at which time there were not a doz*m per
sons waiting to get in. an*l even at 11 o'clock, when *
the Conn became organized, the Court Room was I
by nn mens crowded; und most ofthe audience
appeared to he persons from the • onn rv, who came *
there on heir individual business. Judging from *
this and every thing else which I have been able t
to learn on the subject, the Inal of McLeod cteiies I
little more interest, in this city, than that of any l
ordinary case of murder.
As soon as the routine business of the Court was
performed, the Attorney (general addressed it on
the subject of McLeod** trial, and caused the names
of the wilnessco for the iV'ople to be called. Out s
of twenty-five names called, only one person an- |
svvered, —a circumstance which I cannot ncco.mt ,
f*»r, as several id them, to my own knowledge, nr- i
rived here the evening before; and from a long ,
conversation which I had with them, their nonap- \
pearanee in Court cannot b« attributed to any tin- ,
willingness io testify against iMcl.cod. Some of a i
those I conversed with, wire onboard the Caro- f
line when she was attacked and taken possession v
(•f hy the British; and, us may be naturally •
expected, they feel most indignant and exasperated ,
at tin* act, wnd desirous that it should I**' avenged, t
hy the punishment of the participators in it. Hut ,
one and all of those, w hom I have spoken to, admit t
that they cannot identify McLeod, as one of the ,
persons engaged in the attack on the Caroline, nor .
do they believe that any person can he procured *
who is able to identify Inin. His conviction there- r
lore, independent of his own admissions, can only
he expected from circumstantial evidence alone.
I'o rebut which I am inlormed that he can produce I
p* sinve evidence oI so conclusive a character that ,
Ins acqilital is placed beyond a doubt, lint end |
as il may, no popular outbreak or attempt to lay |

Dear Sir:—-Recent events have directed my | ’
thoughts towards th«> stale of the Currency. I 1
have nothing new lo communicate on the subject; j 1
but I deem it to be the duty of every good citizen 1
to throw in his mile to still ihc troubled waters— '
Von are well aware of my opinions on the lode- 1
pendent Treasury system; hnl a* it has boon repu
diated hy the constituted authorities, same other ’
sc he. nc must ho devised to collect, keep and disburse 1
the public re venue of the country, w Inch may lend
to improve the currency and facilitate the exchan- 1
ucs. 'J he establishment of’a National Bank,in any ,
form, seems io have received Us quietus from the . i
last Neni of the President of the U. S, mid n is I .
m »re than qiieslinmihled whether it will meet with
the approbation of u majority ofthe people, when
the issue shall he fairly presented to them An*
sort mice more to the agency ofthe State Banks ’
cannot, I think, (or ns want of oiiforinily, long find )
favor either with the Government or the People, it
is not my design to discuss the menu or denier ts of ]
tl esc several systems. They have alt been uriin- ’ .
ioed and re ( xaiinned, until llie public appetite is ,
sal idled, and w e must ciiie* tor some variety. NN lon
I ina v propose has no nov city in it- Nialesnicn anil
politics! economists have served n up in (heir own
wav, and yet its has never had a fair trial.
The great disidrralum is. lo possess a eircnla- ,
tmg medium, other than gold ami silver, which may , ,
have an uniform value throughout onr w duly ex (
tended country. Ii is clear that wc can have none ,
such, under onr Federative system of Govet nmeni,
unless ii carries with it “the odor of iiaiionnlbiy;” (
and the only dispute is, whether il shall emanate
from n partnership concern hnween the Govern 1
me nl ami an incorporated association of inihvidii- (
ids. or directly from Ihc Government through its ' j
public functionaries who are chosen hy, and are
aim*liable lo the people for their nets. NN nlioni any
reference to the constitutional power of Congress j
to gram charter- for any purpose, n cun hardly he (
considered compatible with the dignit yof Govern- (
moot m enter into such a partnership in a money- ; |
making nr speculating Jolt. 'l'here is nothing in |
reason or in the Constitution that warrants the (
Government, either per se or through the insirn
mcnlid iyofa corporation, to lend out Ihc nioiic) ,
of the People for any purpose. No money entile
gtiimal ly ho draw n from the Treasury hut under
regular appropriations by law for specific objects;
yet, in direct contravention of ibis principle, seven
millions oi'public moti y was loaned out lo indivi-,
.mull' ut..l | ••(•« ..,,1 nXf, rriml ' • ,
cia I purposes, by die Director* ofthe laic Bank of 1 t
the U. S , over whom the Government had little or \ ,
no control! To the di'ei I operation ofthe (*ov- ,
ernmeni, in eollceliitg, keeping and disbursing the |
revenue ofthe country hy Us own officers, i call (
discern no rensoniih’e objretion; and I am convinc
ed, that the operation m*> rwiisomihly fiirnndi such (
a i iren! ning niediinn as w ill give a sound etirren* ,
ey, and rontnhnle mtn h in uni ol private hills to
wards equalizing the domestic exchanges. If the ■ ,
revenue be collected in u sound currency, as it ul- t
ways should be, it would seem there would he no , (
great dilienh y in paying it not for legitimate objects : ,
and to adiipilwd elaiiiiunlN ninny (pmrler ol tin 1 • (
country. For the convenience of Ihe coinninnily
a ll I lo facilitate commercial exchanges, “the (
Treasurer might,” says .Mr. Jefferson, “give Ins
noics or hills l(»r payment nl any particular place, * h
win re there is u public dcpoole, in any sum, vv noli 1 ,
ought lo have as nine i credit ns ihe best private 1 |
hill or Hank note.” If these Treasury hills were (
ol low denominations, why should they not eircn- ,
late freely m every part of the Union? “11l the .
war nf J7V),” Alr. Jefferson adds, “this Stale, (Vir ,
gtnia,) issued naper money, Imitonied on u specific [ (
I,ix for its redemption, and lo insure its receipt,
hearing an interest of live per cent. VS it inn a very 1
short nine, not a bill o| ibis emission was to be i
fin nd in circulation. They were locked up in the |
ebesls of executors, guardians, widows, tanners, i '
A'c. We tlicn issued hills bottomed on a redeeming I
lax, hnl paying no inh lent. These w ere readily re- I
moved, and never depn ei.iied a single farthing.” h
Why tlo n should not ihe noiesor hills (»f the Trim- 1
surer, of all denominations, bottomed on ll»e tieinal 1
receipts of the revenue, not now pass os currently *
in every part of the country, as “the best private
bills, or Bank nules” ol the highest character? All
that would he required to maintain ihein in circuhi- |
lion, would be, In make them redeemable at the
great point* of commercial operation*—Mich iin
New York, tin* great importing, and New Orleans, '
the grant exporting point ofthe Union, and at such , 1
-tile r large commercial depo * a* Congress might ‘
designate. As a nolo ofthe Bank of England, al- '

Siiitrr, limn specie or local Bank notes, redeema- ;
hi* in * M-eie. It ii w ell know n, dial the notes of the !
country B inks in New England are increased in 1
viilne, and have a more extensive circulation from 1
being redeemable at the Suffolk Bank in l oslon, j I
and. perhaps, n would be good policy in the conn- (
iry Banks of other Slates to make their coles pay- ,
aide at ihe most i oimiierciid points of their respec- j
live States. Whenever I lies Government lias lo : *
pay money on ihe Frontiers, or m any ul'the distant •
Stales or Terriloric*, the J reasnrer’s notes or bills 1 ’
mad* payable at the larger depositories would be ■
ibe most acceptable mode of remittance to llie pnh- ■
be claimant* in those quarters, and would save tbe I
ci, M l and risk of transporting specie where n was
no , rained. A circulating medium thus bottom- I
ed'si'he credit of the Government; receivable ;
111 ull does to the Government and converlihly
into specie a« the most convenient points, would j
certainly form as sound n currency as any I
country rou ! d honsl of; and H is probable, that an |
am.,nm nearly equal lo the annual revenue ol the | »
country might be constantly kept in circulation to I
facilitate and cheapen the domestic exchanges , I

On the first view of the sehomo here proposed,,
an obje. li.ni will arise that it will render tln» a pa
per rather I linn a hard money (iovernmeni; Inn a
l.nle eonsidcnilion will convince the strongest op
nl, that such is not the design, nor will such he
the effect. 'I he beneficial result will be, that an
inferior circulation of Bank paper will be snbslilo- j
ted by the Inner one, bottomed not only oil llie
faith ofthe Government, hnl on the hard money
a , imilly m the public Fi.-e for redemption.
Another objection will be made, that it will in
crease Executive patronage. A* no scheme lor
collecting, keeping and disbursing the revenue can
be carried into operation bo hy the power of Eon*
»ress, n will he for Congress so to regulate their
measures, ns to reiumall llie control in Ihiscaso that
i* practicable under the forms of the Constitution.
They may dictate how'the money shall he raised,
where it shrill he kept, under w hat appropriation* it
shall l>o disbursed. The appointment of Hie officers
io administer the law belongs in tins case,as in eve
ry other,to the President hy mid with the ndviceond
consent ofthe Senate; but ii is competent to Congress
to impose whatever permit tes they may deem proper
on die officers, thus appointed, for misconduct in of
lice. By making the Mints at Philadelphia and
New Orleans, and a few selected Banks at other ,
places the depositories of the public money, very
1 little patronage will remain lo the Executive on
that score.
may also object, on account of the danger ■
of excessive issue* from the facility of multiplying i
Treasury notes; hut,it will he recollected, that the-e
notes are simply draft* or funds, already provided
hy taxes and loans; that they can never exceed the
amounts appropriated by Congress; and that, ns
: they consist of low, as well as high denominations, I
they will form both n convenient medium of circu
! lalion and remittance for every quarter ol the coon
try. A continued succesinn, nml re-issnn of them,
will furnish n uniform currency over the whole
country, and he preferred, m m *Hf cases, to gold;
and silver. A monthly publication of tin* amount
provided for the redemption of them, will secure;
! entire confidence in their value; and thecircnbiii .n *
of them may ho extended, il judged i xpcdicni hy
, Emigre**, hy is*ning them in exchange for the le
gal min of tin* country. Air Ricardo, mean au
thority on Pilch subjects) has observed, “that it
there were perfect security,‘hat the power of issuing
paper would not he nhnstd, the public would have
a direct interest, that the issuers should he the Stale. 1
The danger, however, is, that tins power would he
: more likely to he abused, if in the hands of the
< • •vcrninenl, than if in tin* hands oi a hanking com- ,
i pany. A company would, it is said, he more nn
} (Icr ibe control of law, and alth ugh it might he 1
, their interest to extend their issues beyond the
hounds ofdiscrciion, they would ho limited and
checked hy the power which individual* would
have of calling for bullion or r»pei ie. Ii is argued,
that tin* same check would not be long respected, ,
il Government had the privilege of issuing money 1
• —th n they would he (no apt to consider present
. convenience rather than future security- and might,
therefore, on alleged grounds of expedion y, heioo
miieb inclined to remove the check, hy winch the ,
amount nf their issue* was com rolled. Under an'
arbitrary Government, this objection would have i
great force; hnl, in a free country, with an enliuht
ened Legislature, the power of is. n ng paper, under
the requisite, check* of euuocrldiilih/ at the null o/
the holder, might he safely lodged in the land* of 1
eoinni Bsinners, pponred for that special purpose, l
and they might he made totally independent ofthe r
control of .Ministers The sinking fund is manag

to their charge, proem ds with the ntmosl regnlari

merchant mentioned n rose to uh yesterday, td
thin effect. A year ago, he sold to what war then
considered a first rale house in Kentucky, a bill of
•;m»«U amounting to S2OOO. A credit of twelve
monilis was asked and obtained. The principal of
the house dime on n day or two ago, and our friend,
i ’** 11 'nailer of course, expected to receive the full
amount ol Ins hdl. Me was surprised, however, on
I being told that he must content himself with SB.IO,
ami m a four month draft on n home in New York.
The customer said he had tobnctu in New York
to three times that amount; but that his instruction*
were, that ho must not draw for a larger sum than
. Our friend grumbled and shrugged his
shoulders, hut was compelled at last to make thd
most ol the ease. “Tins,” he udded, “although
not a rare instance, is by no means a common one.
liia majority o| cases, we receive payment in ful) #
w .c!i the credit is so long.”
( IIARLES I ON, Oct. 2.—The season hav
ing arrived, when a general improvement in bu
siness is looked lor with some anxiety, we were
j much pleased yesterday, in going otir usual week
ly rounds, with the indications every where mani
fested of mi early opening of the fall trade. Not
only have operations to some extent already been
I eir« elodin Groceries and Dry Goods, for ll*» Geor
■ gin market, hut a number of country dealers, in con
sequent o of the present navigable state of the wa
ter course, have also visited us with (ho view of
I laying in their supplies. The recent arrivals both
Irom Europe and I lie North, have place*! our mer
chants in possession of a well ahsoftpd slock of
(Jood.s—and as the city is not only free from any
epidemic, hut in the enjoyment of more (lumber
iiMtal share of health, wo would invite dcaltvs from
tho furr .iinding Slates to pay us a visit, no are
coidi lent they will ho able to purchase on reasona
ble terms. That the coming business campaign
may prove a successful one is our earnest hope;
ami to those who have suffered from the fluctuu
; lions of trade, we wish a “happy issue” out of all
their difficulties.
Os the supply to bo expected from the yet grow*
ing crop o| shun cotton, vx o can say but little. VVd
have been at some trouble, for the past two months,
io collecting information on the subject from the
cotton growing sections of the country, but an dies*
accounts are contradictory, wo have come to the
conclusion Hint it is perfectly futile (Inis early in the
•*» attempt to arrive at the probable yield, as
the lender plant \< yet subject to many vicissitudes.
• here is one thing, however, which we would
strenuously urge—the sending of the crop forward
. : ’ s ;•« picked—as we see no inducement to with-
Imlb it for an improvement in prices; on tiie conirn
: ry, there is every thing to he apprehended from otiV
liifti European advices, (hut prices will go even low
er. Ibe general want of confidence among deal
, era, followed by a eurtailinenl of credit, and there
, cent heavy failures in England and on the conti
nent, of houses etosely emmeeted with the cot tort
irnde, and the stagnant slate of the markets on llm
other side for manufactured goods, coupled with
the heavy slnek both in Liverpool and Havre—(irl
the former place it is estimated at (>OO,OOO halts,
•out oi me iaM«*r at to ».oou oaten,; are eehniiny any
thing bm encouraging to the grower of ihe article.
It will he recollected, too, that in the early pun of
1 the previous season, prices were enhance.*! m con
sequence of the demand for I ho home trade, winch
cannot he expected tins year, as we have been as
sured that very lew orders have been received,—■•
and that most of the factories are well hii, plied for
•he present; so that it is impossible even to conjee
lore what \v II ho the ruling rales when the extent of
■ the crop is known. The growth of long cotton ha*
been iiineh retarded by the recent heavy freshets;
j snit the general belief is, that the coming crop will
• fully equal, il it does not exceed the present one.
The Kiee fields some weeks since looked remark-'
I ably wel|, i.ml promised an abundant harvest; hut
the late freshet* have, in a measure, frustrated the
hopes ol the planter, and nn opinion prevails that
the crop will not reach that oflhe seasonjost closed.
