RCPOET OP THE DIRECTOR Of THE MINT, FOM 1IW Mivt or THE UCITI VTAHIi, Philadelphia, in Jatmarg, 1S30. Sir: I have tnc honor to submit a report, on the. ge.i.erul ti ansactiuns of the Mint within the past y ar. the ciunajc emctid within that period, amounts to 2,S06,875 50, comprising BW,717 sO m gold coins, 81,994.578 in silver, & IG,- 580 in copper; and consisting of 7, 694,501 pieces of Coin, viz; Pieee, HalfEiglei, (7,U3 making $287,210 00 ,S07 0 1,856,07 00 Quarter Kaelei, S.403 do Hall Dollar, 8,712,156 do Iiroc, 770,000 do 77,000 00 HoirUimea, 1,830,000 do 61,500 00 14,145 00 8,435 00 Cnu, 1,414,500 do HaU Ceutt, 487,000 do 7,674,501 $2,306,875 SO Of the amount of gold bullion, de posited at the Mint, within the last year, about 96131,000 were received from Mexico, South America, and the West lu ties; 822,000 from Af rica: about 12,000 from sources net ascertained: and the residue, about Si 54,000, from North Carolina, and tlie adjacent States of South Caroli. na and Virginia. I he proportuu from North Carolina my be Htatrd at i.l8,000; that from South t am- Una, at 3,500, and that Iruni Vir ginia, at Si, 500. I he hrst notice of - gold from North Carolina, on the records ot the Mint.' occurs in the vear 1604. within which it was received to the amount of $11,000. It continued to be received during the succeed ing years, until. 1824, inclusive, in' varying amounts, all iufrriot however to that of the year first mentioned, and on an average not exceeding $-2,500 yearly, lu 1824, the amount received was 85,000; in 1825, it had inn-eased to 17,000; in 1826, it was 820,000; in 1827, about 21,000 dollars; and in 1828, nearly 46,000 dollars. In 1829, as above stated, it was 128,000 dollars. This remarkable increase, in the amount of gold received from North Carolina, during, the years , follow ing 1824, has ui en considered ol sufficient interest to be noted in tin annual reports from the Mint, since that period. 1 be circumstance will attract additional attention, from the fact now ascertained, that the gold r gion of the United States ex tends tar , beyond the locality . to wHicu ii nas pereioiore appeared to be limited. Gold bullion , had not been received from -Virginia, or South Carolina, until within the last year; or, if at all received, it has been in quantities too inconsiderabl ..

The United States was peopled from Europe by those who sought an asylum from religious persecution. The bat tles of the revolution were fought bv their sons. And the Constitution of our beloved country, formed by men who bad bled at every pore for the Ii berty of bowing the knee to none but God, presents to us the view which they entertained of rights which, they had dearly bought, and have handed down, as a sacred boou, to us.
