We liiive written somewhat at length upon tliie entiject from first to latt, and always, at we snppntcd, without indistinctness or equivocation. Yet we have nut escaped " tnlsreprcientalinn on tho tnlijeot. ' Some timee for want of knowledge on the part (if our crit ics, and eoine timei. we think, fur t lie want of something more desirable linnf-sty. Onr past . ooune tuny be lirlifly slimmed up n fulluwt : . The Statesman, from the first, advocated the adoption of the national currency by the pen ! and the Stale Qoverninent, to be need a , money fur all the purpoiea of trade and com merce and revenue. In tliia we were not mo esfiil. Tho people, controlled by the Inllii - enoo of crtpltulisti and trader in Run Francisco , And Portland, continued to exclude the na tional currency from circulation except na an artlole of commerce at brokers' rati . When the Legislature n el, they were henet in various ways upon the subject of currency for titles. W admitted, and now admit, that the State has the power to prescribe the kind of money or oilier thing iu which taxes shall be paid, whether coin as li n iw our rule fur Stuto and , oounty taxes, paper money as is the rule in other States, wheat, sheep or chickens, as lias ' been foind convenient in other countries, or ' labor which we receive for road-taxes. We do not think that the act of Congresi In rela tion to legal tender notes, in any wiy affects or Interferon with the power of the Stnto in this particular. The law is made for the govern ment of individuals in their dealings with each other, and not Htatof. Stilt wo agreed mid ored that the Stale, as a matter of public pul ley, and duly to the Union aud the Nation, ought to collect and disburse its revenue In the national currency, aud that lo exclude it from 1 this use and purpose, was in effect canting our weight in tho scale against the government aud in favor of its oppnneula. When the Legislative Assembly met cur rency had about lunched its lowest point, be tween thirty and forty cents nn the dollar. Many of those who were most clamorous for the payment of taxes in currency ai par, were the most obstinately opposed to increasing in cor responding ratm the salaries of public officers that bad beeu fixed upon a coin basis. Under these circumstances, the Legislature did the only thing which reniuiued fur it to do, and provided for meeting the ohligati of the State In coin by requiring the tuxes lo be so .' said. So one false step inadn others necessary. By our action ns individuals and at a commun ity, we first exclude the national currency from circulation among us, exoept at an article of . mrrohaiidise, and thus having depreciated it. Wo were driven to make laws to protect our- , pelves from the coneinences id the difference thus created between gold and raper, and the palpable absurdity of expecting the Statu to use a onrrency different from that in which its people do business. These nro our Specific Contract law, aud Alio act for the oolleotion of taxes in coin. The latter, as we have said, we 1 think within the power of a Stale, and per. hapt tlm peculiar oiroiinitiincei under which it was made, Justified It. lint the necessity ought never t have existed, and would not if aa a people, we had acted at we should have done in the first instance. The Spro do Conlraot it a further directjnd pnblio blow against the nntioiiul currency. It is the mistaken popular action oiystulixed In ' til form of a law. and is a legitimate sequence of that first false step. Against this not the Statesman protested (because of its uiicontti tutiouslitj) w hen it was pending before the At' eembly, but it tqneeied through and is upon the statute book. At we said at the time, if we believed Ibe pouter to past such a law waa in the Legislative asreuilily, itt manifest just ness, if currency waa In remain only an article of trade, would hare impelled ut to favor its . passage. Dut it it beyond our comprehension how any man can ponocivo of a more direct and palpable Duljilioath u of a law of Congress, than this. It la manifest and apparent iu every word aud purpose of it. It hcqn materially to drprioiaie the national currency In Oregon, by limiting iu eiroulalion and use, and so far from bsueBtitig anr one, will be a snare and a broken , reed to those who rely upua It In' the end. . That the Supreme Couit of Ibe I'uilvd Stales will alilmately declare it iuvalid aud uf no force, we have not a doubt. We have gone to far wrong upon this subject that it It uow difficult lo get back, and the longer wo defer our return, the giealer the dif- . Acuity will he. W will ho compelled to get back tome time, lo the point from which we never should have departed the recognition of the tamo curreucy which la used by all the other State exoept California, at tlie baaia of oat dealings. Capilaliata and money dealert Hay liaet off thie result enough longer to do t tllll fertliir Injury, hut the sooner wo get back the better It will be for oe. Tht only capital ae bar It the gold that it t)ag in lb country, aud that goet out of it at fait aa dag. A dollar in national currency is worth as much in the Statet on the other tide the mountain., for all 1D, ordinary p irpooea of lift, at a dollar In aula here. W exulnd t from oiroulatloo among at, ad kit Ul bed 111 of lU for tho advantag of a ne rioept . tho few on thit a who boy for currency in Kw York, aud tell to at for guld. Unlet ail biaUrr it a lie, the people of Or gon two reerr expeot la maintain their pltoa la tho trade and (Minima of tht citiltud world with only gold oln for money. N p. - pi aav over maintained even a teoond-rat " pltoe In trad and oommerc without lb aid of paper mnf at a reprotentatir of Tale and to Hum of tioheng. Iudred tb titut to which nations have uned paper money is usually the measure of their advancement in civilization. The Sooth Sea scheme, the Mit-tia-ippi bubble, and the Continental money of our own country, are notable exceptions to this, but they are exceptional abuses of a pub lic good, which can and ought to he guarded against. Paper money it tlm cheapest, and under adequate authority and control, It the beet money known to the civilized world. Tint might be trifely affirmed from the fact that it it to generally uted. The idea ia common that it is the essence of money that It should have some intrinsic value. Thia la a radical error. In threw-fourths of the civiliied world, tilver it recognized at money to the exclusion of gold. Copper, paper and even leather, are and have been aa much recognized at money at gold and tilver. What it money then 7 What constitute the particular quill- ity which gives to any tulistiiitce lite power to circulate aa money I It it the agreement ol nations or of people generally, though not al ways, manifested in the form of law lo recog nize particular iuhlance w hen presented in n oertain form, as money or the representative of wealth. Public opinion (whether expre-sed iu the form of law or not) nmltei it money hy making it a repreientative of wealth, and a le gal tender for a particular vultie. and this with out reference to the Intrinsic value of the ar ticle uied. How doea gold acquire the pecnlinr value which tho penplo of America and West ern Europe attach to it 7 Because one half Ilia world require! it for currenoy, or in other words, because it hits been to extensively adopted aa money. Destroy that agreement take away itt artificial character of money nod what would follow I The value of gold would full Immensely because the major pur lieu of it is uow used for money. The gold mines of the Pacific slope would lie abandoned, and the miners engaged iu tome other occupa tion, feeling certain that now gold was demnnt tizcil, (if we may use a word not found in Web ster,) iho world had more than enough of the yellow dust. It would become too common even for ornament. It it nut merely " at bar baric loyt " that people cover their persons Willi Koldeu ornaments, and loud their tablet with yellow plate, but because it it condensed wealth. It It this display of wealth which con stitute! the principal chiirni of these ornaments Demonetize gold, and it would not long rank in value above other metals, because it it iu trinsicnlly lest valuable nud useful. It is i s adoption at money which gives it value, and that is purely conventional and arbitrary. Money hat not, then, necessarily any iutriusiu vnltin. The euhstuiice i f which it is composed may have, commercially tnenking, iimru or lets. or uo intriiuio value. Hut ut minify, its value depends, between different nations, upon con vein ion or agreement, and aiming the people of the some nation or government, upon agree ment manifested in tlie form o( law. In tho United Slates, the power to make money and regulate its value ia vested in Con gress, exclusively. This power it hut tulfi red to rcniuiu dormant and be practically usurped by the Stutut iu the creation of Slute Uauks, until the terrible iieueetitiet of this war have compelled Congress lo resume ill exercise iu the creation of a nalionul money or currency. It hut either to do (hit or rely upon the circu latino furnished by the Slate Hanks institu linns that were springing np and tumbling doivn in every direction, ami whine Unlet would set dorn circulate beyond the limits of the State where issued. There ia not, never was. and never will be, gold enough in the country to do III ordinary business, let alone tho immense liusiuvn and eiiJiiu,a created by thia war. Of all the crude and Impracticable ideas that have been suggested at a tuhstitnte for tlie na tional currency, tliit one of the Government borrowing (old to carry on ibis war is the most absurd. If the Unverumeiil borrowed mo' ev it mutt have borrowed such as there then Ma in the country, and that was almost w holly Stale bank paper. Inttead uf thia it acted wisely in asserting its just and plain preroga tive, by creating a National Currenoy to take the pluce of tint one horse currency of the Stale Banks. The thing it done. The want, so long felt, nf a nnlional carrenry that should be of equal valne throughout the Union has been snlisfied, The old system will never be revived. , In llir future the money of the United Statet, whether of gold, silver, copper, nickel or paper, will be made and itt value prescribed by the National Government, as the Constitution intended and provided. lo the Atlnntic States where the change wat only from provincial and wild eat paper lo national notes, the (haugo wat hailed Willi approval by the people and adopted at once. On the I'aoifio const when-paper money wat unknown, capitalists and importers, com bined with certain anil national poliltoal influ ence!, have prevented the recognition of the national currency. Hut tins tlato of lliin.-s cannot alwavs exiat. Were it not for I Ik- gold inlnei nn our borders, tbere would be scarcely a dollar in ibe uountiy except the national lor renuv. When the yield of these mines de creases, as it did in California, we will be glad to get legal tender note, and welcome their ii traduction among us. Iu the meantime we are involving ourselves in endlest trouble and ecu tradiutioii by attempting to ignore them. TuE PeNITKiiTIAUV. Messrs.

It ii not surprising that the gen eral run uf ui American voters were not very familiar with lln- past history uf inch a ninti ni MuCullongh.

For many yean he wai Presi dent of the Stnto Hunk of Indiana and ill brunches, and tincu tlie advent of the National currency ho has been controller of the currency department, and i- understood to have given Hint assistance to tb lute Secretary iu thu management uf that bureau. Lint year he win offered, hut declined, the presidency of the Fourth National Hank in the city uf New York. Ilia name indicate! a Scotch origin a race or people distinguished in modern, time above all others for their aptitude and lucoeei in I lie higher wnllia of commerce, linanoe and politi cal ecoiioiny generally. The liatik of Eng land ia the main spring of the financial trstimi nnd circulation of Great Brituiu. A Scotch nmii wai the originator of that project, and in adoption win ui potent iu supporting the revo lution of 1(138. the snccets of which perma nently excluded the Stuurls from the throng uf England, 111 our new system of National finance has been in supporting onr government iu putting down thu slaveholders' rebellion. The very name of Iho new Secretary sounds well in ooiiiiectioii with the treasury branch nf the Government. The commercial and sta tistical diclionariet rf the celebrated and nuw venerable John Katueay McCullnugh nro fa miliar to every tyro in those pursuits, and known to thousands of others. A good tiuino ii a tweet savor. Since the adoption of the Constitution there have beentwenlv-foiir Secretaries of tho Treas ury preceding Mr. McCullnugh, who mukci the 1 twenty-liflh. Seven of them havo been from the slave States, nud the reinniuder from Hie Statet norlli of Mason's nud Dixon's line. The north being engaged in commerce has generally been represented in that Departuieu , Unlike the corresponding position in tho British Cab inet, the first Lord of the Treasury, our Secre t iry Inn never been considered the premier or prime minister of the Administration. Tlie politician uf the Cabinet is usually the Secre tnry of Stale. To Ibis rule. Alexunuer Ham ilton, the first Secretary of the TreBaury. waa nn exceptnn. He wai the premier ol Wash ington'! Adiiiiiil-triilion, and the special cham pion of it! policy, w liich in most instance! was his own. The Secretory of State Jefferson was a politician, but not the exponent or the Administration, For many rensoni wo are disposed to con gratulate the country upon the appointment of Hie now Secretary McCulloiigli. It looks ut if it were made because of bit fitness for I lie place, and not to please a political faction that might not know the difference between three per cent, consols nnd lire-twenty I10111I1. To pick up a Sinai t. " tonguey " lawyer or stump-speaker, because bo livet in a certain Stute, or I, as procured tho endorsement of a convention nf his fellows, and entrust to hit innniigeinent the finances and revenue nf this i;rcat country,- will never do. It it one thing 10 lie able iu milk a jury jf their I ears, or pump the loud cheers from a sympathetic crowd, hut quite anoilier to be a Statesman, n Financier, and capable of conducting the affairs nf this nation io that the people will not suffer from the ignorance aud incompetence uf their rulera. Politician! arc often utterly unfit for public po sitions, requiring either official industry, spe cial knowledge or much learning. Their vo cation and mode of life is utteily inconsistent with serious iipplicution, methodical business or enlurged culture. With them, life is neces sarily a long struggle to get place and get some body else out not a training bow to deserve it, rr successfully administer it when obtained. We don't propose to do away with politicians, nnd could not hope to if we would, particularly in a country that is governed hy stump-speech-i t (iu Congress and out of it), cniiveiitioni and newspapers. " What ne hope to tec it more attention to the fitness for the place in the appointments iu the administrative department of the Government. Political iiillneiico is something that cannot he nltogether uvei looked by our Government in Hie distribution of offices, hut we think it has been pressed loo far, and that the people are beginning to see the necessity of selecting their puhlio " help " more upon the rules thai govern tht-111 in the employment of their pri vate " help "capacity and integrity. A tyi tern of appointment to public offices, parti cularly administrative one, which should pro ceed upon this rule, irrespeclii of changes in the mere political policy of the Government, would give Ibe country faithful public servant, when looufleiiwe have mere political parti ram. At a step in this direction we hull the nomination ol .McCullnugh lo the Tri nsury Bureau, aud we hope the good precedent ma) become the rule rather than the exception. Dallas, Ohkoon.

Tlie luet is Smith Carolina ceased to hu a Slate of the United Slates mure than four years ago, and may never he n State of thu Union again not that she will not be itiljected to th authority i f tlie United States, for she i practically that now, but her people may refuse to reinstate her a u State nf the United States. In fact, I think that she ought to bu singled out sepa rate from all her sister, to he uiuiluiin example nf. aud for over refuted the glorious privilege of becoming a State of the Union, that she may taste the gloriuut iweeti of her t cession doctrine to tha full. But I am digreasiug. By inviting these former State! of the Union Iu amend the Constitution uf the United States 'which they have despised aud set at naught, we put ourselves in I lie ridiculous attitude ol thirly slx men who when nine of then) liuvo set all law and order at defiance, Iho twenty-seven tay come, now you nine, and help o make laws to convict you Hint from henceforlh wc may compel you lo respect the law. It w ill do tin good to say that the Constitiilion 10 enioitis, for it no more enjoins that we shall submit ii constitutional amendment to Statet that are not States uf the Union limn It en join! Hint we shall use the horns nf lliu mniiii lor a compass, Would it not he at reasonable to let G win uf Mexico exercise Iho elective franchise in the State nf California, as that these rebellion Slates should exercise the eleu live franchise on the Constitution of thu United States. It will not vary the matter on account of Gwin't having taken the oath of n lie. imice to .Maximilian, since lie was a citizen ol Cali fornia. For tlie rebellious States have also taken the oath ol allegiance In the Southern Couf.oj. erncy since they tvero Slutci of the United Slate. But if yon announce the doctrine that Hie leceded Stales have it right to vote on Ihi amendment, you kindle tlie fires of Kuii-ns among them and utter a premium lor the blood of Ibe remnant of Union men that nre among them, and till the cup of their present ruin tu overflowing, mid hy internal ili-lraction pro Irnct their return to Hie Union indefinitely, ami tho vexed qiiestiun of slavery will remain un settled for yenn. Until perhaps foreign puw ert will conclude that we need a second Maxi milian. Therefore the condition nf the South ern people and Immunity both alike, require uf us that we remove Irom among tliein a source uf corruption that bat already worked their ruin, nnd nue nlnch their wisest men bavo ul way said was a cursu tu ilium, (as indeed it has proved lo be) lint one which their own blind and perverted view may not enable them to dispose ol without help. .Not ihnt we would do any injustice to the South, but that w e would do lb in a permanent good. We count then about twenty eight States that peiliap would lie called upon to acton this umetidinetit, including Teniu-t ce, Louis iana, and perhaps Arkansas perhaps tint the last, for this amendment it now submitted nud Hie latter is not a State of Hie Union yet. Aud if eight of these r jeut the amendment it will all lie Knocked into pi at once, ami three have ul emly done so, nnd live more hold the bal ance of power. Now let four moro.ri ji'Ct the amendment within a year, aud my woid fur it the coppers wdl import enough into Oregon lo carry Iter, und the amendment will be bet and then thu mutter will rest nltugellu-r on Hie nu lion of Hi- Southern people, lo reject or retain slavery, milking the mutter of doubtful solution at leust. We therefore insist on calling the Legisla lure nt once, that they may adopt this amend ment nud thu add the crowning toindi lo their nli-emly fair wreath, instead, of wearing a cruwn uf shame aud ererlastiiiir cinite' lit. Hut we presume Hint if there it three-futirthi of Ihe now toy ul Statet that function this amendment, that Congress will act upon the custom ol all legislative bodies, which it to act when there it a quorum to do business, and let abseut members incur the responsibility if there nn j. tinier nut ruie it win in ho three fourth of the Statet that nre found nt their post to constitute a quorum fur tin amend ment, leaving the insane, sick, and irher mem ber who nre off playing Ihe funl, in place ol attending tu their own business, lo shoulder the responsibility, i'or Ihe Southern seceded States are either absent member, or nre nut mi inhere at all it makes but little dill', rence to ut which. We lay Ihut oil account of their past and present action they are not entitled to a voice on this question. U so, we tee no good reason why Kuuiinkiu and hia c'unfederate ...:i -i , .... .. ioes r mu mso ne consulted in the nuilter, or the British provinces. Iu regard lo paying the expenses by sub scription, fur the i-x ru scssiuu, I suy yes hy all means. The Cops are opposed to this aim ml nient, nre opposed to the prosecution of this war by the Oovernineut for the suppression of the rebellion, therefore I nin averse to their sharing in the honor.
