As a commentary on the proposition - designed, we suppose as a retaliatory mcasure - we need only state that Canada raoney is worth two per cent. premium in New York. The laws of trade will regúlale financial raatters better than statutes. But then if John Buil and Brother Jonathan should get up a ''gamo of balls" some day, that premium might be ehanged to a discount, so it is not best to entirely rely on Canada currency for a circulation. jL2E" The Legislativo Council, of th rebel governinent of Kentucky, has elcoted II.

JSïjf Both Hohscs of the Michigan Legislatura have passed a joint resol ution asking Congress to próvido by law for lian ging all conlructurs who defraud the governinent.
