Tho Goneral will not go to tho Son~ “ato without fighting and gaining a hard battle, T wo nominations for Congress, the firat of the aanson, were made in Pennsylvauis yostorday. M.

The meeting of the Abolitioniats in this city is an avent of moro than ordiuary hupurtauco. The Ruthoring togother of tho surviving vetorans who fought Slavery in the midat of porscouttons and at tho risk of social ontlawry, and held the ovil at bay until the nocessities of war rolioved them from tho brunt of the contest, ap- portains at once to (he pnst aud the future, to tradition and to history, Theso men meot - together for the first time glnce tho doeath of thoir comwon enemy, not only to recall tho past with its stirring evonts, but ulso to'collate and presorve the fucts of Lhoir cnmpaigns for tho historian. Hitherto they have only como togothor ns soldiers; now thoy come as geribos, to pormanently record what has bosu done, that the momories of those oventfil days, whon they fought Chureh, State, and Bociety, ag well as Slavery, may not altogothor bo ablitorated. Trom this standpoint, there {a nothing incon- gruous in the reunion of the Abolitionists, It can noithor aronse sontimeuts of jenlousy nor inspirosoctional hatrods, for tho foo thoy fought 80 valiuntly hias boon dead and buvied thoso ton yeurs, and tho nogro is froo as tho air he breathos. ‘Ciolnaly, the mannulo, tha whipping- post, thio brandiug-iron, and tho auction-block ara rolics of the past, aud iu ten short years iho nogro Lias stoppod from the cotton-fleld and the slave-pon into tho halls of Congress, and now Lelps make lnws and govarna Btates, It is fitting: thereforo, that the old soldiors fn the ug‘m batween Freodom and Stavery should como Logether and shake onch other by the hand anco moro, parhaps for the lust Lime, and congratu- lato oachi othor wpon the enormous_succoms whielt hine crownod their efforts, Although their wenpons have long rustod upon tho walls, and the ralls of the Undorground Road nve covered with wosds, nnd the North Stur no longer leads tho way to tho- Canadian frontior, and John Brown's upirlt haw coasod marehing, there 48 no renson why thoe voterans should nob ot togrothier. and fight tholr battles ovor again, uhonlder Lhoir crulehes, and show how fluldy woro wou, rocall the memories’ of ‘those who porished in the fray, and oone gratulate onch othor that by the Kgraco of God, uud the forco of war, and the hand of Alrahinm Liucoln, their anciont enomy has hoon ‘[ Inid Tow.

Thoy havo dono well in walting until the pas- sions nud hatrods growing out of tho \War havo coofed, and il thoy can look hack upon their worle without projudice. At this distanco of timo, wo can soo it In all its immonsity and grandenr. Wo ean now, better than aver Loforo, appreciato tho moral courage, tho dovotion to prinoiple, and the indomitable purpose which charaoterized thoso ploneers In the fight for hu- man lberty. And considoring theso, womay porhaps realizo how moan and dogradlng aro the chloanery and corruption of the politica of to- day. To tho Abolitloniat, therefore, congratulae tion and welcomo; congratulation that hisfight hos boon fought and bis principles have tri- umphed nod are part of the law of thelandy wolcomo for tho sako of tho old momories and gallant deods in tho fight for froedom. . ——— BSMALL NOTES, @ ‘Wo hava romarked that the Prosident's rocom- mondation that at somo futuro time, aftor specio payments aro restored, bank-notos of less do- nomination than $10 sball bo abolished, is In our Judgment unnecessary and unsclontific. This rocommendation is obviously & vory small part, & moro incident, of the plan suggested by him in hls momorandum to Senator Jones on tho aub- jeot of the currenoy. Nevertheloss, it seems to hiavo boen pitched upon as the most nssailablo part of tho whole plan, In fact, it is the only aasailablo part, and it happona that all tho othor parts might boadoptod and this one loft out, without producing any fncongruity whatevor. The chiof purpose had in viow by tho Prosi- dout in tho abolition of small notes ia to acou-, mulato a stook of gold in the countryss & balist’ toprevont futurs panics or to mitigato thoir effocts. Would the abolition of small notes no- complish this ond? At first blush 1t would scem 80, but the teschings of history, no less than thoso of cconomlo Aclence, show tho contrary, Commorolal crises, or panics, oceur in England, ‘whoro thore {s no papor currenoy of loss.denomi- nation than £5 (tho equivalont of $25), with s groat frequoncy and soverity as in this country, whore wo have nothing but papor currency. They oocur in countrios whore there are 10 bank-noten whatsoovor. The panio of 1857, which awopt over tho groater part of the olvil- ized world, visited its sovorest offects upon the City of Hamburg, in Germany, whore thore was nothing but gold and silver in circulation. Wo may infor ffom theso facts that small notes have nothing to do with the produotion of panies, and that their nbsenco would not tend to alleviate thelr consoquoncos. If tho curroncy 6f & couxn- try is itsolf valueloss, then all tho notos in exists. ‘onco—the small as ywoll 18 the Inrge—will vntal lossos'upon - tho holders, and “in such a caso it would have boon & most wise_snd humang pro- caution to " Liave - proviously probibited the ciroulntion of small .notes, which aro always found in the pockets of the poorer classos of tho communily and those lomst able to protoct thomselvos in times of panie, Tho Ao~ called panic of 1861 (which was’ not a gennine commoreial crisis) was ono of tho ovonts in which au anti-small-note law would havo boon most desirablo, The currency of most of tho Wostorn States was ot fhat time sccured by Btate stocks, and largely by Southorn State stocks, and not being DLottomed upon nctusl capital in the banks issuing it, the notes declined in value pari passu with the decling of the atocks hold as socurity therofor—which decline was cansod by the outbresk of_ hostilities between tho North and the Bouth. .Tho notes of the Btato Bunka- of Ohio and Indiana, which bad a pnid-up capital and no seenrity whatover doposited for dhelr redomption., did not de- cline at s, but remained at par with gol throiighout fhe flurry, And indeod some of the notea of Illinois banks remained at par, notwithstanding the decline of their sccurity bonds, becauso the banks themselves were bona Jido Institutions, having a pald-up capital, and doing a logitimate business. If, at and bofore that timo, thero lad boon a law prohibiting the circulation of small notes, tho monoy in tho hands of tho common poople would have con- tinued good. And go it would have been if their small notes had consisted of the fssncs of the Btate Banks of Ohio aud Indiana, or the logiti- mato and bona fide banks of Tilinofa. ‘Tho advaiitage of using bank-notes, whetlier small or largo, iu two-fold, Tha gold which they displaco is itsolf capital, and can bo sent abroad for tho purchaese of things that we want mors™” thon wo want gold, and thus the intorest on that much capital can bo eaved, Thoy “are also moro easily carried about than gold and are gonerally more convonient. Notos of lesa do- nomiuation than $10 constitute the major part of the cireulating medlum, If wo.choose to lavo the major part of our -clrculating medium - consist of gold, wo can have it by paying for it, and not othorwlso. A very smail amoynt of gold will answor for oll purposes of convorti- bility, becanse when n currenoy is actually at par with gold nobody wants gold, and wheu tho ingredients of n commoroial, orlsls are at hand, tlio possession of gold noither averts nor miti- gntes It Tho conclusion of the wholo matter i that baul-notos and gold equally auawor the pur- otio of eifecting tho oxchanga of proporty aud sorvicos in the community and of mowurlog yuluas, and, whon convortiblo, the, one into tho other, answor the purposo gudlly woll—that tho .| former cont nothing while the lutter ost. 100. conty por dollar—tlat the employmont of tho- luttor iuvolvons o loss of iutorest on tho capitul whioh the gold contains—and that tho . former are moro portablo and- convouiont for the pur- posgs of currency. These arguments have al- ways boon potont In this country to dogida tho pooplo to use small notes, and will vrobably con- tinuoto be so, The inexpedioncy of this fonture. of tho Progidont’s plan, however, doea not mili- tate againkt tho other prrtw, which .ni'a, in our opinion, both wholesomo and timoly, Y A now pilgrims' progress is thatof tho Ameri: caus who Jutoly salled from Now York on a tonr' to Cutholio shrines in Enrope, Accounts of the mauner in which they boguiled the tedium of tha ocoan-voyago Liave ‘Just como to hand, Thoy wera (he morrlost souls in the wholo ship'a com- pouy, tholr hilnrlty moro thau onca gotting tho battor of their wolf-restraint, Slnco landing in Buropo thoy have beon a-junketing unfter the approved fashion of tourists, and the original objoct of thelr misslion has bo- <como moroly inoldental, Suoh comfortnblo rogard for the carnal man ls ono of the bout slgns of gound Judgmont on tho pnft of tho pligrlms that hos yot como to haud, It they had travolod to the grotto of Qur Lady of Lourdos, in Lair shirls, fow childron of tho Cburch in’ Amerlca would have carod to omulato tho ox<, ample.

The procossion, the monument, worth £30,000; the flowors, the doves, tho addressof the min- ister,—all theso will live In their imaginationa ; but above thom all will rise tho mamory of Fisk, of whom tho most that can bo said Is that ho was not quito as bad or na villalnous, in somo reo- spects, a8 it is posaible to imagine n man to bo.
