Show THAT EAGLE. The Hlkii.d was ainoDC the first journ tU to ttJOLia the came of the hu,ed mivt-r dollar, few newspapers seri'iunly Umuglil of ruuiQaeiization, until Buino timo after the Herald had labored to stir up tho agitation that nfmrwards cxtrcistd the whole country, ami ha just rosuUad in re-Itoriug re-Itoriug lu its nlucu among our coins, the ditllur o( the cUdilics. We naturally natur-ally taint pride in tho course o( thin ' paper in so important a matter, and wlu:n urliulua on I ho subject from our Columns havo hern oxtensively copied in loading journals of the country as h:n frequently been the cano during the pAdt yoar it has not be un without gratification to ua. But now that we have the dollar, we are not s&tished. Its intrinsic) value is all rig hi., but it j appearance is not what bo popular a coin Bhould be. The Obverse faco is I'.iultlases in conception, concep-tion, duKigri and execution. On that lido it is ua hundnoma a pieoe of' money in can ho Imagined. The' ."Liberty" head ia perfect. It is all that our fancy could paint tho firm, free, beautiful goddess that Americana Ameri-cana so piuiidly adoro, Xhe execution execu-tion aluu, cm Id not bo improved upo; the moat delicate touches of the euyraver'a art being Boen everywhere, every-where, but especially in the fullness of tho uatidaumo faoo, and the tine uVprcdsion ol ttio centre of the relief, lint what can wn any of the reverse? Tho whole appearance of this face of tho com is that of ft ohcip medal, or ailvertiiing toy. In loukiug at it, wo are led to turn the piece ovjr, uxpoctins to find on the Otliuraidd a luyund ot "stove poliah," "purpuric," "prize candy," or Borne othor article of domestic ornament or tiue. iheeaglu.ua frightened buzzard, buz-zard, h.ivin nothing of the ap-p. ap-p. arancu ol tiiu ancient emblematic bird ul tho nation. The eagle on the ukl dullar w.s tho natural, plump, ; fieruu e.tglj of America, the king of birds, and tho emblem of freedom. With hid arrowa in one claw and the olivo branch in the other, he was gradually bottling 'lor ft grand old aiiiim;ii of viutory. lie was the shrieking uiunarcb of the mountains and the gloriuua bird of the forest, penally photographed upon the people's coin. Xhe bird on the new dollar ia oreol, his wings Bpread like the straiued aaila of uu ice boat, or the mt!g of a bat alter1 they havo ' p.r-ad through the hands of the taxidermist. Tho body and wings ; indicate a aiivoro fright, but tho head mid buik anmv tiiirue and determined anger. Tne u.iuve pride, and ap- ;' pcaraucu ol abdoluto freedom and iiul,cpcudencu, tiro uhown iu nosingle feature. Every American must feel a dvn-o of shame and humiliation wht-.u ho tiizcs upon the insignificant fiiwl iluiL m iH the beauty of what WJuld otherwise be the prettiest coin of all our pretty coins. It ia cause for regret (hat we had to import an English artist to do this work. Ilia Mime is George E. Mor- gan,;and he is from the royal mint. Ho graduated uudcr the celebrated Wyons family, who for generations have gotten up the coin and medal figures fur England; but his coucep lion of an American eagle is most faulty, or elao he purposely wished to insult the nation by scandalizing our b;rd. Speaking of the coin, the New York Herald says: Tho cij;le oil tlio other eidu i a moan, sh-lihy looking; bi'd that, might vory woU Lor ono of tlio tlut't! famous crow, i uk'b tiled in tho ong, before they liyhled o i ihu b iro bickh inu of llie duad lior- "only Uul'O weeks si win" and fom d a in- ftl A mora out-raiivun out-raiivun c.irn.'ature of the bird of ireedom wits nover ai.oinptud. |
