short years. During the two decades which
was made, many millions of this treasure
have been converted into coin at the Mints
of the United States,-how many we are not
,prepared to say, but may look into the sta-
tistics at a future day. .
. But what has become of all this treasure
and of this immense amount oi coin ? It
has been transported aeross the Atlantic,
mainlyin British steamers, to pay for articles
taken of Europe in excess oi values received
from us—articlcs many if not most oi which .
might and should have been produced at.
home, thus securing to ourselves a good cur-
rency which constitutes the lite-blood Of all
enterprise and all business.
But this does not tell the . whole story.
To wipe out these international balances
we have not only parted with a large share
oi our bullion and coin, but. we have been
shipping to Europe the earnings oi our chil-
dren and children’s children, for many years
to come. This we have done and are doing
by sending to and selling in Europe our
bonds, national, state, railroad, and mu-
nicipal, to an enormous amount. The avails
have been absorbed in a great degree by the
commercial debt due abroad from our citi-
zens.. Every national, state, and municipal
bond thus sold will have to be paid, princi-
pal and interest, by taxation ; or in other
words, will be extracted from the people and
taken out of their earnings, and every rail-
road bond will be paid from the earnings of
the road, and taken out of the pockets of its
patrons. Not only are we to pay to foreign-
ers the principal of these bonds in gold wheu
they'are all due, but we are to remit semi-
annually the interest on the same medium,
unless we are to listen to the inculcations of
' Maj. GerryButler and send abroad whole
reams of greenbacks baptized into the name,
of dollars, but which are mere promises to
pay dollars, and broken promises ten, thus
tarnishing the honor and iectitudc oi this
great republic. .
In the manner indicated we have been
thrusting our arms deep down into the fu-
ture and laying our hands on the earnings of

THE Republicans of the

Of Norwalk, are requested to meet at Ely's Hall,
on Thursdhy Evening, Feb.2’ffh, at ’1 1-2 o’clock, to
organize‘for the Spring Campaign. Per order

Protection and Currency.
The question of protection iga questioa of
currency. If this apothegm is true,‘it puts
an odd to a controversy alike protracted, ac-
crimonipus'and needless. That it is true, is
just as certainbs that international balances
must be paid in bullion. or coin, 6: in both.
If we take of. the manufactures of Europe a
grater amount than Europe takes oi our
products, the precious metals excepted, the
difiference constitutes a balance against us,—
it is an international balance and can not be
paid in greenbacks. Were‘it otherwise the
payme g'WOuld not extinguish that balance,
it woul only substitute the obligations of,-‘
the na’t‘iOn for the obligations of individuals .
and the balance would remain unpaid.
Now‘ let us see how this matter stands. We
send to Europe all the cotton, rice, tobacco
. and petroleum we have to spare, and all the,
wheat, rye, oats, corn, beef, pork, butt”
cheese, lard, and other agricultural prorjmm:
which it will take, and receive in return vast
amountsuf merchandise, so that 'al the end
of the year we find a'large balm ngaingt
us, the effect of which is to “seep out of the
country not only most of the bullion obtained
from our inexhaustible mines, but a large
shareF'of the coins manufactured at our
Mints for the use oi the peepleof the United
States. _ ' \ I i.
We have become a gold and silver produ-
cing nation. Since the discovery of gold in ':
Californlalin 1848, an immense amount of t’
treasure, probably not less than one thou- .
sand millions of dollars have been taken out
of our placers and mines,- and on the com-
pletionof the Pacific Railroad the annual
product is likely to be three or four folded.
We are assured on reliable authority that '
the amount producéd irom the-Pacific coast,
for each‘fof the years ’66 and ’67 was at least
$75,000,000, making the en'Orrirobs aggregate
of one hundred and - fiftyaniilltsss in 'two
posterity, have dragged them up to the pres-
ent era, and have been and are now using
them to extinguish balances created by our
reckless importations.
As in addition to our agricuitural products
we have parted with most oi our bullion
and coin, and have sold out to an immense
amount the earnings of those who are to
come after us, it is no matter of surprise that
we should have an unsubstantial and utterly
unreliable currency, consisting wholly oi
promises which no one can enforce. The
United States cannot be sued—therefore a
greenback is uncolleclable and if you sue
one of the National Banks it can pay the
judgment in greenbacks, so that you start
- with one broken promise and end with an-
other, or rather you commence operations
with a‘promise which you can see and end
with one which you cannot!
Such is the present condition of the cur-
rency—wretched enough! produced in part
we admit by the exegencies of the late civil
war, but greatly aggravated by our exorbi-
tant importations. We do not hesitate to de-
clare a belief that had they been kept within
reasonable limits we should by this time
have resumed specie payments or would
have been near that indispensable consum-
ation. There can be no solid prosperity
without. a good currency, and this may con~
sist partly of coin and partly of paper con~
vertible into coin at the pleasure of the
holder. No nation on earth is in so good a
condition as we are for maintaining such
a currency. Our gold and silver mines will
give it to as provided we husband this am-
ple resource and do not recklessly spend it
abroad. This can only be done by encour-
aging home production, and it is that which
we denominate protection. We are for sus-
taining all the great interests of the country,
commercial, manufacturing, mining, and
above all, agricultural, by securing to the
people {he benefits and blessings oi a good
currency. To this end we are for a judicious
system of protection. To be judicious it
must. be moderate, discriminatory and ap-
preciative. We are prepared to say to Eu-
rope. we will take your products precisely
to the same extent you will take ours, leav.
ing out the precious metals. We will even
consent to throw in our bullion after our
currency shall have been restored and our
finances placed on a proper footing; but if
you propose to sweep out of our country all
our coin manufactured for our own use we
say nay, nay, hands off; the Eagle is the
emblem of our national sovereignty, and
shall with its golden hu'es remain at home
to promote the prosperity of every interest.

..-_ The performances of that boldfbut cow-
‘ardly bad man, have a more fitting delinea-
tion in the following remarks of the Tribune,
than in anything that we might essay :—
“The President has:again vindicatePis
reputation for obstinacy, which had an cred
some decline during the last three or four
days from the absence of anything either
absurd or criminal in his conduct. His sec-
and attempt to remove Secretary Stanton
can have no other motive than to assert his
pretended right to make appointments and
removals, not only without the consent of
the Senate, but in defiance of their expressed
dissent. That he can make no appointment
or removal without the advice and consent
of the Senate is as plainly declared in the
Constitution as that he he shall hold his office
for four years, The principle has been reit-
erated in the Tenure-of-OHce bill, which the
President is obeying and disobeying with his
usual inconsistency; In formally 'suspend-
'ing Mr. Stanton, instead of removing him,
and in sending to the Senate his reasons for
suspending him, the President was obeying
Tcnure-of-Ofiice bill. In trying to seduce
Gen. Grant to keep Mr. Stanton out Of‘ office
by sheer physical force, after the Senate had
reinstated him. and now again, in attempting
to remove .him, the President is disobeying it
as audaciously as if he were disposed to deny
its constitutionality, and maintain his denial
by force. J‘echnically, the point may be
raised that his former order, being one of
so; pension and his present order one of re-
moval the non-concurrence of the Senate in
the first does not preclude him from making
the‘second. But it is‘ hardly worth while 'to'
consider technicalities relative to the orders
of a President who is capable of making any
order that his passions dictate. It has been
usual upon the issuing of such an order for
the incumbent to vacate his office without
waiting for the confirmation of the order by
the Senate. This usage has no sanction in
constitutional law, but has been regarded as ,
due in courtesy to the President, and essen-
tial to the public service. For since the Pres-
ident's order, until confirmed by the Senate.
is a mere nomination which may never ac-
quire any validity, its legal operation must
date from the confirmation, and not from the
sending in of the name to the Senate. While
the legal right of Mr. Stanton to rctain‘ofilce
until the appointment shall be confirmed by
the Senate is clear, Mr. Johnson has proba-
bly assumed that Mr. Stanton would follow
the usage, and vacate the office in behalf of
Adjutant-Gen. L. Thomas, as he did before
in behalf of Gen. Grant. Indeed, the order
directs this. .But of course the clause of the
vance of its ratification by the Senate than
any other part of the order. The President
has evidently intended, however, that it
should he, and on this intention he has based
an expectation that physical possession of the
office could be obtained for Gen. Thomas
forthwith, and that Mr. Stanton could be
driven into the Supreme Court for his reme-
dy. Without this aim in view the Presi-
dent's order would have no meaning. Mr.
Stanton, however, in obedience to the re-
quest of the Senate Committee, and in resis-
tance of this attempted usurpation by the
President, has determined to. remain in ms
secsion, and leave Mr. Thomas to his remedy
in the Courts. The same Committee waited
upon Gen. Grant, and were satisfied with the
result of their interview. It is hardly con-
cnt precarious tenure of his own office, de.
sign to order the ejection of Mr. Stanton by
armed force, or that such an order would be
obeyed by Gen. Grant if he issued it. Fail-
ing in obtaining physical possession of the
office, the President‘s order would merely
refer Mr. Thomas to his legal proceedings.
That Mr. Johnson would go to so much
pains to butt once more against a stonewall
Would seem remarkable were it not that it
is exactly what he has been doing ever since
he has been in office. While as an official
act it is inexplicably stupid, asa political
dodge it is easy to see Mr. Johnson’s motive.
The magnates of the Democratic party are
now assembled in Washingtion to fix the
time and place—sud to a great degree the
candidate—of the next Democratic National
Convention. It is quite in accordance with
Andrew J ohnson's grade of political cunning
to desire at such a time to make an impres-
sion on these gentlemen. They are buzzing
around the White House, and would delight
in any coup d’atal that would either make A.
J. available as a Caesar, or get him all their
hands altogett er. But Mr. Johnson will
achieve no coup «fetal. Nature, in denying
him the courage proportioned to his vanity,
has made him proof against great crimes.
His iorte lies entirely in peccadillocs. When
Congress concludes to impeach him for petty
misdemeanors, it will find plenty of them.
But if it waits for high crimes, he will serve
out his term in feverish peacefulness, and
empty ieints.”

SENSIBLE.—We rejoice in being assured
by one of the corporators of the Norwalk
Savings Sooiety that a more liberal policy is
likely to be inaugurated the present spring,
in regard to the disposal of tile depositors'
money for the direct benefit and growth of
Norwalk. A hundred new houses would
not begin to supply the pressing demand of
applicants. Two hundred and more would
be at once contracted for, it those wishing to
build could rely upon obtaining loans of fifty
per cent upon their cost, as soon as complet-
ed. Shaving notes and speculating in Bank
and Railroad stocks may promise a little
larger return of interest, but are a good deal
more risky and prove of infinitely less per-
manent benefit to the individual or advantage
to the place. The citizens of Norwalk, as,
well as the depositors, owe a debt oi lasting
gratitude for what the managers of our_Bank
have already done in aid of the erection of
“homes" for our people and the determina-
tion to increase the amount so invested can-
not iail of adding to the weight of that obli-
gation, and the good of all.

WThe Missouri Republican Convention
on Saturday named Gen. Grant as their

of Missouri would sustain them.

The Norwalk Gazette calls Sherman a

terms—Daubury mics: ,

now whether the term is synonymous with

proceeding when the Senate is in session,
was evidently meant as a challenge to the
majority in Congress, and by them immedi-
ately accepted and will probably (by present
indications) be tried to a final issue. The
Senate immediately went into an executive
course of the President, and seats c'oriimitr‘
tee to Mr. Stanton requesting him to retain
possession of his office which he promised
to do. In the House, resolutions, were im-,
mediately Ofi'ered, which were referred " to
the Reconstruction Committee, who prompt-
ly at the session on Saturday rcported arti~
cles of impeachment Which Messrs. Spald-
ding arid Bingbam, hitherto the most con-
servative members on the Republican side of
the House who had before killed all at-
tempts aL Impeachment, made earnest ap-
peals for the House ”to adopt. After much
discussion it was decided that afinal vote
should be taken to-niglrt (Monday) at 5
o'clock. The indications are that it will be.
carried by a large majority.
Adj.~Gen. Thomas the would be Secretary
of War, is now under arrest. on a warrant
issued by Judge Cartier, on a complaint
made by Sec. Stanton, that he Thomas, had
violated the Tenureof Office Bill, &c.
The President also on Friday having been
foiled in his attempts to use Gens. Grant and
Sherman, tried to entrap another noble
brave in his meshes by sending in the nomi-
nation of‘ Maj-Gen. Gironen H. Thomas, as
a Brevet.-Lieut.-Generai and Brevct-Gencral;
but here again he signally failed, as will be
seen by the following dispatch, received by
Senator Wade, from the gallant and true
warrior: .

day sent to the Senate for confirmation as
Brevet Lieutenant-General and General. I
was ap ointed a Major-General of the United
States Army for the battle of Nashville. My
services since the war do not merit so high a
compliment, and it is now too late to be re-
garded as a compliment, if conferred, for ser-
vices during the war. I therefore earnestly
request that the Senate will not confirm‘ the
nomination. (Signed) ,

assigns him to the Treasury Department,
but it is said by the friends of Mr. Johnson
that he will make no cabinet chan e until af-

WOne of the democratic canvasscrs in‘
New Hampshire a few days ago thus ex-
pressed himself: “If I could have my way I
would place Jefi‘. Davis in Congress, where
he rightfully belongs; then I would go to
from the State House, and make a bonfire Of-
them in the State House yard ; then I would
go all through the north and destroy all the
monuments and gravestones erected to the?
memory of soldiers; in short, I would put
that we ever-had a war with car southern
bretheren. I do not know as I- would hang .
one-legged~ and one-armed soldiers, but I
would pray to God to get them out of the
way as soon as possible.” - - l

W‘l‘hc New Haven Palladium has the
following concerning the new uniform of
conductors on the N. Y. 85 N. H. Railroad:
“The conductors On the New York and
New Haven Railroad will soon commence
wearing their new uniiorms. There allowed
to select the cloth for the garments them-
selves,and have decided on ‘aavy blue.’ The
suit will consist oi fashionable pants, vest
and sack coat, with any number of pockets,
and initials of the road in gilt letters on the
lappels. We understand that the oldest and
one of the most popular conductors on the
road has the honor of first appearing in" the

WThe Tribune says the good old days
are returning at the South. Near Athens,

was seized, blindfolded, carried away from

ence,~and expressed his determination to do
his duty as a minister. What is the use of
being free and independent citizens unless

WSome two w,eeks ago, Fred. Douglass
went to Meriden, to lecture, and put up at a
hotel kept by one Stephen Ives, an unrecou»
structed Alabamian, who insulted his guest
by forbidding “that nigger," in a loud and
offensive tone, to eat his dinner at the com:
mon table. The matter became a subject. of
sarcastic comment by several prominent
journals, which somewhat indiscriminately
blamed the people of Mei-idea. Replying to
this with a full exhibit of facts, The Matador:
Recorder, edited by Capt. Luther G. Riggs,
vindicated .Meiidcn as the only town that
gave a majority vote for impartial sufierage,
and asked that the “barbariam” be “charged
upon unreconstructed, Democratic Alabama,
and not upon loyal, patriotic, Republican
Meridcn.” Several weeks had elapsed, and
on Tuesday the 201b, Cap'tIRig'gs wentto the
Meridcn House to see. Postmaster Mergan on
business. While he was inllw‘robm talking
with Mr. Morgan, Ives entered unbidden.
Ives, who is physically much larger and
more powerful than Mr. Riggs,z"’strack the
latter, who was sitting in a chair, a very vio-
lent and wholly unexpected blew directly
in the lice, knocking‘him ,over backward ,on
the floor. He followed it up with two’o’thcr
severe blows, both on the:laccP_Bystanders
thereupon interfered. Ive‘s was immediately
prosecuted. The adult created not a little
excitement, and the general sentiment of the
citizens of both parties is wholly with Capt.
Riggs. ',

Iron in the Blood.
. The necessity of a due proportion of iron in the
blood is well known to all medical men; When it be-
comes reduced from any cause whatever. the whole
system snfi'ers, the weakest part being first attack-
ed, and a feeling of langnor, lassitude and "all gone-
ness" pervades the system. The remedy is simply
to supply the blood with ”the necessary quantity of
iron. This can be done by using the '
PERUVIAN SYRUP.
a protected solution of the protoxide of Iron which
is so prepared that it assimilates at once with the
blood. giving strength, vigor and new life to the
whole system.
To take medicine to cure diseases occasioned by a
deficiency of IRON IN THE BLOOD, without re-
storing rt to the system is like trying to repair a
building when the foundation is gone, '
An eminent divmc says: "I have been using the
PERUVIAN SYRUP for some time set; it. gives me
new vigor, buoyancy of spirits,elast city of muscle."
Apamphlct of 32 pages, containing a history of
this remarkabloremedy, with a treatise on “Iron as
a medicine," will be sent tree to any address.
