It is njspecifully sneslcd nheiher the providinc of additional coinage es- tahlishuients does not teud toward national dia-1 iutcitration." While the fate of the ireasure rested with the unbiassed judgment of ihe honorable Sena tors who compose the Finance Committee. I had no apnreh-neinue of anything but a favor able result; bat when my bill was sent on a voyage , f discovery. Grat to the casemates of the Treasury Department, ami thenee tn the genius who presides over the parent Mint in ihe oily of 'brotherly love." I was apprehen sive that I should never a;aiu behold the fair proportions of my cherished offspring. My worst fears have been realised, ily hill ,ss returned from its peregrination! hawked at. lorn and dilapidated by the stnpidity and igno rance of the company it has kept, and its man gled remains are now before me in the shape of a recommeiidntinn for an assay office. Helure I bad ever beheld Hie American Con gress I was so verdeiit a lo suppono thut great questions off -cliiig the country, or any portion of it. were decided by Iho intelligence 'and good sense of the meinlters. without reference to Ihe narrow, contracted and auticjualed prejudices of some oi l fogy of some previous generation, whose views could only lie Valuable aa an illus tration of a1. at might be said by an active, en ergetic and successful competitor for the capi tal pnie at world's fool's fair. My constituents are an eminently practical and iiusouiiislMiatea son m people. When 1 return to them I shall be called niton to give an account of all the deeds and misdeeds done by me in this body i and among other thiuiri I shall be eallud upon to eiplain why their prayer for a orancn uniil was not respomied to. Well. sir, in my shame and confusion. I shall have to stale tbat Mr. 1'ollock was opposed to the measure. Tory will naturally ennngh sar. MVr seot yoa to the Amertoaa Congress) to orge our claims, and eaunnt see what Mr. I'ol- ltk had to do with the question." Yoa can not imagine, nenators, how those people, in their simplicity, will be startled when I delib erately proceed to tell them that before a branch mint tan be established for the coinage of their fold the IhM Biesl he sent to one Jam-s Hoi hark for bis approval or disapproval. If I am so lortonale a to eoavioos them that this Pol lock is e ordinate branoh of Ibis great an"! t'.arMt UorwiittMt, IU wU. vury Plural!; desire to know upon what grounds and upon what reasons ho bused his refuinl to so lust a demand. Then I stall be forced to oiifidil tn tliein the mighty, profound ami luminous Tea sons of the philosophical, astute, and reoondiie Pollock, in this wise; 'Oregnnlnita, yoa might have had a branch mint tn coin your gold and your stiver at your doors, anil thus save yon Irom a loss of fifteen or twenty per cent, of the precious mutals which you so industriously delve in the enrlli. and of which you are daily being robbed, either by speculators or hy rea son of tho risk, expense, uml delay Incident tn sending your gold and silrer thousands of miles away to he coined ; but the truth is that hy somu recondite prooess beyond my conjpreheu. sion. and known only to great political alchetn lets, the profound Pollock, after submitting branoh mints to the tortnring process of decom position and analysis, has discovered that their component parts 'consist of treason, secession, withdrawal from the Union.' abrogation of eon-, stitutiunal compacts, denial of Federal author ity, disregard of oaths, usurpation of national prerogal ves steulinof publio property, arson and murder, all of which when reoomhined into u modern branch mint, constitutes tho essence of all these crimes bitterly known as ditinlt- gralion!" Why sir. after this lucid statement of the evils which our people in their simple me lunty nave invoked upon their own heads, when again the people of Oregon, Washington and Idaho Territory petition yon for tho locu tion of a monster of so hideous tnten in their midst, ynn will be-ewaUled to sileuuc their clam- ora nt once by the bare mention nf "Pollock Disintegration," or "Disintegration Pollock." Why. its cft'eot will be u inst uitiineouslv smith ing as the cabalistic invooufon of the "inunt- lowa w inch frightens the young Indian tnslee li'sll ui iou uarn menu ti ol that devil in En mi on reuuees wiiitc urciitiu to a stata o iiro rl 'ty if put of slumber, Mr. Pollock, it would acorn, has nut onlv found timn to draw bis an. nit ul stipend with the greatest regularly, hut has derated loino of his leisure hours to an ex amination of the Constitution of tho United StsVi's, upon which Instrument lie aasuines to uojonio a co !iiientiitor, nnd with the greatest "oil complacency pnaieeiU to inlnriin in that "coiunge is one of tlie highest and most impor tant attributes of natiiuial sovereignly, and diuuld lie exercised and controlled ill a such a manner as will tend to strengthen rather than weaken the nation government." nnd then pro ceeds tn suggest that "additional coinage es tablishments tend toward nutional disintegra tion." It is tine, sir, that our forefather in forming the Constitution ol the United .States did define the potters of Congress; . nd among a variety of specified objects placed within its jurisdic tion was that "to coin money nml regulate the value thereof ;" but Mr. Pollock Is the first of the great commentators who has found it m-ces-snry to raise his warning voice ngninst a libe ral exercise nf this, "mui of tho highest attri butes of national sovereignty," so essential to the prosperity nml general welfare of a great and powerful nation. His profound reasoning would seem to indicate that even the limited exercise of this great prerogative was only a safe experiment when conducted nt the parent Mint nt Philadelphia, and under bis own per soniil cure and supervision ; and while no dan ger is to be npprehendeil (rum "disintegration" upon the slip of land between the Delaware nnd Svhuvkill, yet, from some occult reason, the must (lire nnd disust out consequences were lire to follow the exercise of tins wonderful power beyond those niaitio limits. 1 The Constitution also authorize Congress "io iiorrmv money on Inn credit id Ihe United Stutes," ami no one seems disposed to regard the unlimited exercise of this power in nt all dniigeroiH. It also provides that Congress shall Imve power to lay and collect tuxes, duties, ini- fiusls and exuiovs ; tn regnlnte conniierco with nreigu tiationa and the Indian tribes; to es tablish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws upon the subject of banknitituv : fo lix standards of weights ami measures i lo provide lor tliu punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of tiiu United Slates; to establish post iilhoes and post roads; to promote the progress of science anil the use ful arts; to constitute tiihuuaU inferior to Ihe Supremo Court ; to deol ire war and grant let ters of marque nnd reprisal; to raise and sup port armies. These are hut a few of the great powers confided to ooiig.-eseiomtl jurisdiction, to be exercised for the prosperity and develop, meut of a great and progressive people. It has remained lor Mr. Pollock to discover that nt least one of these great powers cannot be cxcrcisc.il beyoud the buuuilariua of his own low ii. H i might with the same propriety pro po,H tu restrtcl Iho exercise ut all the rest with in the same narrow limits. Congress having availed Itself of the consti atiitioual grunt to coin money and fit tin- value thereof, exercised this "highest and most im portant attribute of national sovereignty" by detei milling Iho mode hy which the thing should be done. Its tiinoi inn ceased for the lime be ing when Ihe Mint, or fautory to exeuato its inundates, was set iu inotiim for that purpose. No restrictions weru placed upon the quantity of com to be made. Hint being left to be deter nitiied by the quantity of material furn shed for the purposu and the capacity of the factory to work it up. No one but Mr. Pollock is impressed with tho idea thut every time ho applies the neces sary physical force to the lever lo swedge a pb-ee id nickel into the shape of currei t coin that he is any more exercising tho "utlrihutes of national sovereignly" than is every day ex ercised by tin, stage driver who cracks his whip over tlie team that draws the mail, or tho ooal- heaver that stokes the Hre lo generate the steam for its propulsion by water. All thesu are sim ply lining tbo physical labor neuessarr to ao- ooinmodate the people with Coins and mails. in pursuance nf dilfcrent Acts or Congress, predicated upon a fundamental arrant of nowcr. i ne tinge driver or the linker could, with unite ts much propriety, give us their di-oiiisitions upon mo constitutional power, or the danger! tu be apprehended from its ex-wise, by reason ol "unintegrution. reselling from the rslali- liniment ul new mail routes of iuoreased speed upon the old ones, as Mr Pollock has for his absurd attempt lo prevent the people upon Hie I'actho slope Iroin heing accommodated with pieces of me tnl lusliioued into money at a 'ov eminent factory by virtue of pro-existing an- tliorny. Mints ami branch minis, notwithstanding ull the mysterious dignity wall which Mr. Pollock attempts to surround them, are mere workshops or lactones, established liy too tioveriiiiieut lor the accommodation of the people, and should ho located al points convenient to where the raw material is produced, in order that those engaged In thut production should enjoy at least some uf the uencrlU of Ihe lalincation The man who Is is so narrow minded and sel fislily prejudiced as to desire to cotiHns liter i n erutiuu to a single and Inconvenient point lo this great country, so abounding iu the precious metali aa readily urge mat every irou-ioiiiiiiry, brick yard, saw and grlt mill, blacksmith, hat ter aud ihoeiuukur shop neoosiary to acooin mod ate mora than tinny miliums of people should be estaliluhe' in Die same village, and thus check any Incipient tendency toward "dis integration."

When my colleagues and myself went he fnro the Co'nniitlee on Fiiiauoe, to org npon them the propriety of this measure, we found ourselves laboring tinder snmo embarrassment In the production of conolus've evidence in re. Intion tn the quantity of gold being produced, nnd likely tn ha pr alooed. in the region of country to ho accommodated by the proposed branch mint. Oi'ing to tho great distance that we are sep arated fro ti our constituents, the delays, diffi culties, and uncertainties of communication with them, and in part to their own careless ness and neglect tn forward the necessary data upon which to predicate our statements, we were only able to furnish an approximate esti mate of the results of thei- industry in mining pnrsniti during the last year, . With con sciousness that we were within hounds, we sta ter! that nnr exnortatinns of fold for Ihe last yenr amonnted to mnro than nn average of one million dollars per month. W new oalinu-Ofao, hy the honorable ohairmao nf the committee In submit our views in writing, we offered the fol lowing communication t , Washington, January 50, 1864.' Sill i At the snirirmilion of the commlttoe, at Its Into uientintr upon the subject of a branch mint proposed to bo established -t Porterl, State of Oregon, the undersigned submit a statement of facts which have induced them to ask the passage of Ihe bill now before you. - - . . Preliminary to this we will remark that, owing to the fact that the local situation of the minlngr region which will be tributary to the proposed branch mint, and that a large share of tlie treas ure passes out of it by private hands, we cannot prntand to give accurate statistics nf Its mineral products. The mine, lie along the eastern bound ary of Oregon, and extend thence north and Into the British Possessions, and east tn the summit of tho Hot'ky mountains. This rezlon, embracing all of Idaho on the Western slope, snd a large share of the Territory of Washington and the Stale of Oreiron. midi its outlet by way of the Co lunihia river, and draws its snppliei by the same channel. A mint located at tne city ot rortianu. which U the commercial martnf ail the country drained hy the Columbia, would accommodate the whole vast region, now rapidly filling with a pop ulatlan whose principal, almost exclusive business is that nf mining. ' i The Territory of Idaho, organized last March, did not, till within eigteen months, contain to ex- 'ccod (ice hundred white persons. In the month ot October last, tlie census taken by tna united States marshal showed a population of thirty-four thousand. This increase seems to Indicate that the existence of rich and extensive mines ia well established. A fair, candid estimate of the popu lation engaged iu mining and to ho accommodated by this measure, wotilJ ,intably place the number at fifty thousand. And we n; y add that, in pro portion to tho labor employed, we believe uo mines on the western slooo yield so woll. Much of the treasure taken from these mines finds Its wav out of tho county in tho bands of private individual!. .There is no common place of deposit for it where It can be credited to its source and making it almost impossible lo estimate its amount justly. Tho various express companies can civo the amount which they transport, but this leaves an amount, which any one knows to exist who is nenuaintodwith tlm independent mode in which a grout many persons transact their bu siness, tn list entirely uiinecouuteu for. AS nn in atnnco nf this, a late -Portland (Oregon) paper mate, ihnt the IS press company urougtit down n the daily steamer of tho Columbia river only $1 Dull in gold dust, while tho same paper gives Ihe names of two passengers who had over three hun dred pounds in their possession, and others men ioiied had amnller amounts. We say, therefore. that while the books and receipts of express com p iniei show tbo only accurate statistics ou the iihtect, tliey give no accurate tiloa of the vast resources in mineral! of the section, the interests of which will be accommodated by this measure. 8 leh data as we have we now submit. I hare are three private assay offices in the city of Port land. The amounts received by them aa shown hy their books, an abstract of which is published ftie (Jrriftffii'iM newspaper for ftovemoor last, from Jaunnry lo, IHOJ, to October W, following ia ji'Mdli.t'.lj (IS. As au evidenco of the growth f the product of gold, we may muntion that one office, making monthly statement, of the amount received, gave fur the two mouths preceding me ho hut account almost double that ot those ear- li r In the year. Mr. Benjamin Holllday, of New Toik, who is the owner of the line of steamships plying be tween San Prtnciscoand Pnrtlaud.iiitorius us that he has transported from Portland an averago of from sir to seven hundred thousani dollars rwr mouth d'iriiigtliu past suiumor and auluoiti. This statement does not includn tho amounts in the hands nf passengers, of which he knew nothing, but which, owing to the high insurance, we must oueliide wore 1 irgc, Th-tra hniiie no reaulatioii at the branch mint n San Francisco requiring the depositor of bul lion lo designate whence it came, there is no oth er nieaiia of obtaining any just esliin tie than hy report! of the kind to which wo retor. 1 lie ro. ct in ly published reports from Ban Francisco. Iliads Hy a commercial board ol that city.ot ILe amount of bullion received there fjr Ihe paal year, credits Oregon and ltrliisli Columbia wiih a product uf five millions. Ibis, of course, it based upon Ins receipts hy shipment! and through express com panies, and loaves a vast amount, the whole tbat is diffused through ths mining region aud portioa which enters into the circulation of business and agricultural parts of Oregon, and that shipped in the hands of passengers unaccounted for. This we do nut hesitate lo say we believe amounts to as lunch more. Ours Is a growing Stale.
