Emigration to Liberia The plan proposed ia the laf t number of the Repository, for the emigration of an indepen dent company to Liberia is a most happy one. If the friends of Colonization would take the pains to present the subject to free colored men ot intelligence, enterprise and means, there is little doubt that a large num ber would engage in such an enterprise. Men of this description have many induce ments to remove to a country where they may be free indeed, in every sense of the word; where they may make and administer their own laws, and be their own governors, beyond the reach of that prejudice of education which must ever attach to them in this country. To those who have means to commence with in Liberia, the inducements are adequate to the greatest enterprise; for, while the poor est are enabled to assume a position which they could never attain in this country, those with a little property can soon make themselves independent. Those who have children will hnd the means to educate them in the schools already established. - Mechanics will find am ple employmeut for their labor, aud the soil, yielding three crops a year, will ensure a com petence, and a sure reward to those who cul tivate it; while the numerous vessels touching af the ports of Liberia for supplies, will always furnish a ready market for all surplus produce, giving in return, money or the necessaries of life. Men going out with means will be aid ed ID making investments in such articles as are required, and that will yield a profit. The disposition to emigrate, now spreading among the free colored people of' the United States, promises a speedy settlement of the country; and it is only necessary to point to the results of emigration from our eastern to fhe western states, to show how much may be effected in a few years by emigrating to Li beria. Great privations and exertions are to be endured in the first settlement of any country. A ready example is found in the western country, which now contains its thronging millions of happy, intelligent and wealthy cit izens. The more recent settlers listen with incredulity to the stories of fifteen years ago, 'told, and enlarged at every telling," of the sickness, sufferings and privations of the "first settlers of the West." Those whose hard ships were formerly commiserated by their "eastern friends," are now surrotinded by wealth and luxury, the result of their own In dustry. So it will be with Liberia. Terrible accounts have been circulated of "sickness and famine;" but the time will come when the emigrants to that country will look back with pity and amazement upon the idle fears, and want of enterprise, in those who remain to be servants of servants, instead of emigrating at once to a country where they may take a po sition aniong the nations of the earth, and, forming their own institutions and Govern ment, show to the world that their race is ca pable of appreciating and enjoying civil liber ty and its blessings a country where a field is open for emulation m literature, the arts and sciences, and where the social virtues and pleasures may be inculcated and handed down to posterity. It has been often urged that the colored man is incapable of self-government. This may be true of the mass,- but there are some very capable men in the country, and on them de volves the responsibility of giving a piopcr turn to the views of the many.. The present proposition affords an opportunity, for such as are capable, of collecting their brethren togeth er, or superintending their emigration audset tlement in a future, permanent and free borne', and when settled, of being their advisers in the Colony, and representatives in their legis lature. It cannot be expected that any one now, however intelligent, can take his whole people from the country at once but mere are a great many individuals who can collect around them a hundred ot more to form a township or colony in Liberia; and if they neglecfto do so, when such inducements are presented as the present, they must cottsenlto remain under the charges heaped upon them of imbecility and want of enterprise. xnuiviauats, iamiues, or societies or any number; can always obtain information as to emigration, and can be attached to colonies or societies already formed, and emigrate with them, by applying by letter to the Colonization Society. Letters must be' directed to Judge Wilkeson, Colonizatiom Rooms, Washington City, D. C. Political. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. A National Bank No man in this country would desire the establishment of a great political engine of mis tuna, ii ne am not nrmiiy believe that it would establish a currency of uniform value for the whole United States. Before ventur ing upon an expedient, which is at leasfof doubtful constitutionality, every man who casts? his vote for it, owes it to his country to satisfy himself fully that such an institution cannot fail to answer the purposes for which it is to be created. If its issues of paper money be unrestricted, then we have no securily against the old system of expansion and contraction. If the State Banks are to continue in the old system of paper money making, the action of the Government Bank must be equally in ope ration. Its power, against the united phalanx of State Banks which would oppose it, vi et artnis, would be as a rush-light to the sun. They would collect her notes and withdraw them from circulation. Something of this ef fect, though not exactly analagous in the cause, is seen in the case of the Treasury notes.- The necessary consequence would be that to avoid a war which Would ruin hr means of making profit, she would, like her predecessor, make common cause with them, and then would be re-enacted all the scenes which similar causes have produced and al ways will create. I am sure that it Would gratify the readers of the Ledger if some advocate of -the propos ed bank woufd show concisely how, and by what process,- such an institution CQuid suc ceed in regulating the State Banks and their issues What ivould h do with such a cur rency as the new Pennsylvania State Bank Bills, "according to the act of Assembly?" I would propose tbb question as problem the first. There is only one Way that a paper curren cy can be furnished of uniform and of known value, which shall at the same time satisfy the popular fancy for large nominal prices ithe big fignre." There mu"st be but one bank is. sue, say a National Bank. By depositing with ber a certain amount of specie, any bank or individual shall be entitled to receive a certain increased nominal amount in bank n6tes. As gold and sil ver are the only con stitutional currency, can there be any objec tion to making.a fixed limit to the amoJmt of notes to be manufactured out of every real dollar: and of letting this proportion be as ful ly and as widely known as possible? To ef fect this what honest objection can he urged against the insertion of this proportion of le gal expansion upon the face of the note? would it be too plain? Would it remove all the mystery which prevents the honest farmers of this republic from clearly seeing the truth? If we take ten nominal dollars as the amount which the popular love for the big figure de sires should be manufactured from paper for every real dollar we possess, how would it an swer fo make the notes read thus: The National Bank of the United States promises to pay the bearer, on demand, Ten Dollars, "according to the act of Congress' or One Dollar ir gold or stiver corn, being the basts upon which this bill is issued. A. HUMBUG, Cashier. .To meet the prevailing weakness as much as possible, the ten dollar promise the fiction -may be in large letters, and the frfcvatt the reality may be in Very small lexers, as ip pur State notes. I J I kridw you will say, "this would be expos ing the truth rather awkwardry. If you re move the delusion in thai rayV the 'big figure' would lose its charm." I know it would; and I introduce the idea to expose the real nature and value of the currency which we have now, and which we have had for some years past. It differed only in? 'the concealment of its real value in coin; by the large and unqualified pro mise on the faceof the notes; and thus tho honest industry of the country has blindly sub mitted to a heavy fax, by paying to the Banks interest on the fictitious amount of their notes; instead of on &eir real value. This is what they have been cheated into the belief was a necessary stimulant to industry, instead of a tax upon production, to enrich a favorite class of bankers. One essential advantage would be gained by the national notes I have described. Fori eiffn eoods could not, as before, be pushed into our marker, wnen, oy aauneraung our l - currency, we innatea ine nominal The importer could not, as formerly, present a small share of our notes for redemption, and receive in payment nearly our whole stock of .i t .t j.4r specie me oasts upon wiiicu uiu eumcui uui circulation was issued and leaving our own people with nothing but certificates of the in solvency of our Banks; and upon these, too, instead of receiving, actually paying interest to the hankers for these evidences of. their bankruptcy. Exchange. -t have said nothing of the util ity of a National Bank in regulating the ex changes. This power is claimed for such an institution by many who dissent from the opin ion that it can regulate the currency. The currency and the exchanges are supposed, by many unthinking persons, to be necessarily connected. That the regulation Of 6nfe ar ranges the other. That tho necessity and the power of a regulator to control tho one, in volves the necessity and the power of a regu lator of the other. Nothing can be more er roneous. If our currency were exclusively specie, oar Philadelphia merchants might buy from New York more goods than they could pay for at maturity. Their notes Or drafts drawn against them, would be . greater in amount than would be required to meet New York engagements in our city; this woalrl Cause them to be sold af a discount Ex change would, therefore, be against ds, till wO reduced our purchases to Our means of pay ment, f low can any machine control you and Trie in out purchases, or keep exchange at par between any i WO States, when one has bought more' than it can pay for? The thing is impossible. The only effect of such an at tempt Would be to Conceal for a time from1 both parties', (buyer and setter) the error they commit against the natural Jaws of trade, and to prevent the speedy application of the only regulator retrenchment. This wholesome and unerring regulator shows us, at this moment, by the rise of ex change on Europe, that we are buying too much, and we are instantly warned of our dan- ger. As tne "governor ' rn tne steam engine rndicates the maximum pressure which the boiler can safely bear, so does the table of ex change inform the merchant when fhe point of safety is reached in every direction If there existed no W any patent Contrivance' (as the U. S. Bank) to throw a cloak over this "gov ernor," to keep down the natural rise Of ex change, by any borrowing or kiting scheme, and it is only by such means it can be done, even temporarily, We should be deceived info further indebtedness, until we effected out ruin. This is what has been the exact effect of reg ulating the. exchanges, as it is called; and to' if may be ascribed the ruinous credit system which has broken up most of the merchants in this country. Preserve us from any patent National regulator of exchanges! Out busi ness is returning fast to a healthy condition. People buy only what they -want and can pay for and this is the most profitable business in the end for buyer and seller. Let us con sider well before We disturb it, and produce a return of the system which h46 mined us. When we bought and sold more than could, be paid for. It made a livelier show then, but now pay day is here, how dearly we" feel that We have paid for the gratification. ANTHRAX, 'the Wnlg Candidate; Henry Clay though ali bis life playing a1 game of expedients and clap-trap, and ever on the watch, not for truth, but for the' direction Of the popular currents, is always faking the tide too late cr too soon. In his confusion under the Vetoes he has had himself announced as the Whig candidate too S6on. The Concoc tors of the Kennedy manifesto would have held him back a while had they acted from cool reflection and not under the exasperation of defeat, disappointment and revenge.
