We call attention to the excellent .arti

There is no doubt a sufficiency of gold
and silver to servers a circulating medium
A-ithin these bounds; and; by this means,
the poorer laboring classes of community,
who generally are the Teal1 sufferers in
currency panics; would be supplied with a
medium they may always understand, and
of which there is never danger , of a de
preciation, below at all events, what it
calls for. Could our people be prevailed
upon to dispense with their gold and sil
verwares, gew-gaws, &c, we might with
. some propriety talk of an exclusive Lard
money currency. Let us look for a mo-
ment within the scope of our own. obser
vation, and do we not find that nine-tenths
of the men, women, and children carry
about their person, in the shape of watches,
jewelry, &c, a far greater amount of, gold .
and silver than they do, of - com, in their j
pockets! 'We would rejoice, bowevery m-
ihe lay we could dispense witHragS ! bul

able to see how we can. . And until we
can, we repeat we are in favor of Con
gress taking the matter in hand, and, if
possible, thfbw such guards'and restric

means for the erection of a fine church

Several efforts havebeenmade heretofore
to secure a church building or buildings.
The "men folks'" have been so much tak

Whereas we have learned witn deep re-

resignation of the office of Governor of

give expression to our- sentjtmxita xo-
-ornihy fia 'rtffiri'il pnnrco oa nm Pklnf
Ex'ecativei and, his relations towards us
as a gentleman and fellow citizen
therefore
Resolved, That although there probab-
ly is a diversity of opinion- with regard
I" - O
to details and acts of a local character, as
i . . . . ... ... '
there ever will be m a new Territory
whose inhabitants are from all parts of

peculiar views, and having their own pe
culiar interests to subserve; yet; as t
general thing, we think we speak but the
unanimous sentiments or the community
.t V . Iw
wnen we say, mat tne otncial course oi
the Governor meets our full approval..
Resolved, That in all our private rela
tions with the Governor, we have always
found him to be the high-minded gentle
man, the honorable aud honest man, the
purity of .whose private character has
never been assailed ; and that in leaving
us for. the retirement of private life, he
carries with him our best wishes . for his
health and happiness.
-'Gov. Izard then being called for ad
dressed the meeting, referring, to many
of his official acts, . and - the difficulties
..... t , .... .
which necessarily attend the performance
of the duties of his late office. He ear
nestly entreated the inhabitants of Ne
braska to uphold and sustain his successor
in office, whoever he might be, to strength
en his influence by their co-operation, so
that the demands of the Territory, at the
handi:df 'the general government might
meet with attention and success. He
varned them against hastily applying for
admission to the Union, thereby laying a
burthen upon an infant "State, which - a
quarter of a century could not remove.
After receiving an expression of the
good wishes of his many friends, and
bidding them an affectionate farewell the
Governor retired. ' - "
And the meeting adjourned. '.
