 Enc experience of the last few years has produced marked revolution in the opinions ot thousands of our people in reference tc the currency question. Results have been witnessed which would have been pronounced utter mpossibiinies a short time ago. Who that formed his opinions of currency under the influence of the Bank arguments of l837 could have then believed that a sound and staple currency could ever be restored to the country except under the restorative pow CTS of United States Bank? Who that lis- ] tened too and needed the assertions of warm party politicians in reference 10 the .derange- ment of exchanges, could have supposed that few years of experience would relute all thelr confident asseverations on the sub- .Ject?

 The question of currency ought never to be made q party questionable mercantile class, whose fortunes arc so peculiarly liable 10 be blasted by fluctuations in the circnla- ting medium, owe it to themselves, to give the proper direction to public sentiment on lhis subject. Now is the most propitious time for making lhe proper impressions on the public mind, and il Is within the power Of those engaged in mercaile business 10 preserve the currency in a sound and heal thy condition by withdrawing the question from politics and frowHing steadily on all ef- forts to bring il again within that dangerous Ynrtnv-
