r . Chairman, the history of this war upon

felt with all its force on the issuing of the
i circular. It was issued just about the
he western lands came into market. The
alfice-holders hastened to the West with
quantities of gold and silvfer, ready to meet
ales. The home of many a poor man was
ht into market, and he had prepared him- :
ith bills, that passed a week before for land,
f his own improvements—but the day of I
ame, and with it came the specie circular—
mey would not buy his home, the specula
ught it over his head, and turned him out
lis wife and children into the forest, hotne
nd houseless. This was one of the first
f this ruinous device of one currency for the
nment anti none for the people.
, Chairman, I have spoken of this bill—of

was no necessity for such a law, and stated
in relation to existing laws organizing the

■Rum there must be money raiseo.to be collected,
e pt' transferred, and stolen. A knowl-
of the fact that more money would be need-
I to do *yi this than the people would allow, and
le fear that the bill would be defeated if the
path was made known, you have not specified
le amount, but have appropriated the people’s
|oney without limitation as to the sum. You
kre not. do it. You make a great splutter about
Dur ways and means. There aie more -ways
lan means — all ways and no means, and mean
ays at that—no offence to the Committee—l
ily mean it is extremely deceitlul to make such
parade about your money, when you have not
dollar. You intend to get money, honestly, if
»u can; but you intend to have it any way.
Mr. Chairman, I have said we should contem
ate the fearful effects of the prac ical operation
this measure upon the people of this country,
may add, upon their Government, as well as
Seir interest. Let us, in some measure, judge
f the future by the past. The anticipated oper
tion of the Sub-Treasury has already crippled
our commerce, impoverished your merchants,
sduced the price of produce, as well as labor, and
rougl.t infinite distress upon the country. Com
are our condition now with what it was when the
idminislration came into power. Every honest,
rndid man admits we are infinitely more op
ressed now than we were at that time. I mean
I fie people—l am one of them. It is true, these
>rd!y office-holders say they can see no distress,
'hey fed none, I dare say—they have high wa
es, paid in gold and silver, and cannot see , be
mse they will not—they look over the heads of
le people—they fix their sights too high—lower
our sights, gentlemen. Go with me to see the
eople. I will show you an alarming condition
f things, if you will open your eyes—all mainly
— r owing out of this thrice-rejected system. I will
ow you the judgments, executions, and sheriffs’
les, now' in full play all over the country. I
ill point out to you the husband leading his
ife, followed by her weeping children, to the place
sale, all carrying the last bed. or horse, or cow, to
sold to gay a debt contracted before you made
ir on the banks and currency, and which would
ve been easily paid but foryour golden humbug.
Mr. Chairman, I mentioned the effect on the
ople by your action on the banks. Your rneas
es have been directed mainly against the banks,
d have been so harsh aud tyrannical, that they
3 all virtually closed. Whatever may be said
ainst the banks, they are the only places W’here
e people can get any morn y to pay their debts,
d every effort you make to ruin them tells up
the people. The banks furnish the only me
nu of circulation, and have all the gold and sil
r. Your oppre.-sions constrain them to curtail
nr discounts and call in their debts, at this time
general distress—the effect is ruinous, absolute
ruinous. Whether the banks were proper or
t in the beginning, they are now a part and
reel of our system, and the means used to
stroy them operate on the whole commu
nity. The people own the banks, and the
people owe the banks. Their relations to each
other are mutual, and war upon one injures
the other. I have been accused of being more
friendly to the banks than formerly, I confess it.
I resisted then creation; but they were maue,
and have now become so blended with every or
hierof socie.y, in their interest and transactions,
that no patriot can refuse to sustain them, as long
las they conduct their business honestly. I am
i a disinterested witness. Ido not own a dol ar of
their stock. Ido not owe them one cent. I
speak of facts as they are, and tell the plain truth.
Let me say one word to you who now war a
gainst all banks to the knife, and the knife to the
hilt—you may produce revulsion and revolution,
but, short of that you cannot change the order of
society.
I desire to say one word to .my colleague [Mr.
Cooper] on the subject of-jaiSaks. May I ask
him. what is the difference, in principle, of sup
porting banks and owning them 1 or, in other
words, how can he consistently oppose all banks
with such vehemence, and still be the owner ot
one himself] Is it right, in pi inciple or morality,
to oppose a bank whose interest is regulated by
law at six per cent., and still be the owner of a
bank authorized by law to lake the highest rate of
interest it can get. The one is regulated bv law;
the other has no bounds but what are set by ava
rice and necessity.
I am happy to sec my colleague in such good
company. Our Senator [Mr. Lumpkin] whis
pers him closely. How softly he talks to my
friend. How these gentlemen do nurse iheir
infant Democrats. Well, well! this looks strange
to me. And but the other day, when my col
league [Mr. Colquitt] was about to speak to this
question, I saw the old gentleman talking softly
in his ear. Heavens ! how these old folks Jo
nurse their baby Democrats. It must be painful
to memory.
Mr. Chairman, I now approach the last branch
of this debate, and by far the most important. I
will say a word on the etlect of this measure up
on the the government of the country and the
liberty of the people. What it has done is easi
ly understood; what it will do cannot be com
prehended or foretold in all its direful effects.
The President of the United States began this
system by seizing upon the purse of the people,
m violation of law. He usurped the power of
Congress, and claimed it for himself. He a les
ted the power of legislation from the representa-
tives of the people, and exercised it himself in a
tyrannical and unlawful manner. He displaced
an honest officer, and appointed one subservient
to his ambition. And his successor, who prom
ises to tread in his footsteps, is now asking us to
i confirm in his hands the power thus obtained by
usurpation and aggression; or, in other words,
to give him the purse ar.d the sword. He desires
to wear the uniform of Andrew Jackson, and con
trol the people’s treasury. He will look odd—a
mock tyrant —a Kinderhook hero—a monkey
treading in the footsteps of a giant. The uni
form will not fit; thecharacter will not suit; but
still the injury will be the same. All power is
concentrated in this head of the nation.
Phis measure will soon become a law ; and the
President has the sword and the purse. All he
lacks is an army, to kill those he cannot buy;
and he now boldly demands a standing army of
two hundred thousand men. Give him that,
also, as you will at last, I fear, and in his person
is concentrated all the powers of this nation,
which rightfully belong to her people; and he is
emphatically a monarch, and under his reign we
shall be slaves, ij he should he re-elected. The
people are impoverished; they groan under a
mountain weight of debt. Commerce does not
afford a revenue. The Chairman of the Com
mittee ot Mays and Means dare not tell the a
mount of revenue; it is almost nothing. We
are actually receiving comparatively nothing from
duties on imports, notwithstanding we have a
tariff of duties now much too high. What is
the cause of this poverty] Your Sub-Treas
ury, your golden dreams, your iron times, vour
hard money currency , has killed commerce, bro
ken the merchant, ruined the planter, and turned
the mechanic out of employment. All this has
come already from the anticipated operation of
this accursed experiment.
One more measure will result from this scheme
-—direct taxes. \our coffers must be filled.
\ou had „s well appoint your assessors and
collectors of taxes at once, and go and demand
goid and sliver of the people to glut your avarice.
Georgia has no strong box provided for our Slate.
M e must pay our taxes into Mr. Calhoun’s de
partment, and thus be made tributary to South
Carolina. There is no justice, equality, honesty,
or benefit, in the whole device. It is an engine
of power and oppression. A great political in
quisition, to crush the people and the laws.
M r hen the power of this corrupt Administration
moves the lever and turns the screw, the body
politic will be bioken on the wheel, and the life’s
blood of this nation will flow under its tortures.
Let us wake up to our danger in time to defeat the
election of the chief and author of this fatal de
vice. Let us defeat him. and break the succes
sion, or we shall be enslaved to others more vi
cious'anJ tyrannical that he is himself. M T e can
achieve it if we will. We have the means in
our own hands. The privilege of voting is still
allowed us. Let us elect William Henry Harri
son, and all will be right again; this scheme to
ruin us will be dissolved, confidence will be re
stored, and peace good order, and prosperity, will
return to our borders.
Extract of a Speech delivered at Rock
ville.
Gentlemen of the State of Maryland :
The proud and gallant State of Georgia disdains
to humble herself at the footstool of power. Her
people refused to vote for Mr. Van Buren in the
da3 - s of his brightest glory, when he shone from
the reflected light shed upon him by the Hero of
Orleans. When General Jackson commanded the
American people to elect Mr. Van Buren President,
Georgia repudiated his dictation, and rebuked his
folly, by refusing to vote for the “ magician of
Kinderhook.” M ill Maryland and Georgia now—
when the “ sun of his glory is set,” when he has
been “tried and found wanting ” —stoop to sustain
his sinking fortunes, and thus dishonor the noble
stand they occupied against the corruption of the
times ? I answer for Georgia, no ! I hope not.
W hat say you for Maryland ? [No, no, by many
voices.] Georgia refused to vote for Van Buren,
because he was opposed to the admission of Mis
somi without the abolition of slavery, as welL as
other principles opposed to our institutions and our
interest Not one of them has been changed ; but
subsequent acts prove his hostility to our peculiar
interests up to this day. His vote against slavery
in Florida, and last and most reckless and insulting,
is his appioval of the proceedings of a court-mar
tial, held against an officer of the navy, wherein
negro testimony was received against a white man,
and he protesting to the court and the President
against the foul proceeding.
Lives there a patriot in all the South, who could
desire to see the freemen of Georgia so far forgot
their interest and their honor, as to suppoit Martin
\ an Buren for President, after such confirmation
of his hostility to us and our people—“proof as
strong as holy writ”? I hope not —1 believe not.
Can they be forced to support him by reckless and
hungry office seekers now, after having before re
jected him with disdain aud contempt, for his re
corded hostility to our institutions ? Never, with
out the mean and malignant demagogues of the
party, who prefer their own advancement to the
interest and honor of the people, can prove their
false and wicked calumnies against Gen. Harrison,
by other than negro witnesses, or white men that
would allow or believe such evidence. They false
ly charge General Harrison to be an abolitionist,
with evidence before their eyes that he voted in
favor of slavery in Missouri, and used His best ef
forts to establish slavery in Indiana. They deny
that Mr. Van Buren is an abolitionist, when the
journals of New York, of Cong.ess, and *he court
martial, all prove, by the record, that he is most
deeply dyed in the wool—but such are the means
used by tyrants and their worthless hordes of
hangers-on, to delude the people and destroy their
libery.
There is scarcely a single fault alledged against
General Harrison, however false, that is not prov
ed by records, against Mr. Van Buren; indeed, it
would seem from their conduct, that their object is
not to defend Mr. Van Buren, out to cover over
and conceal his faults, by hue and cry against the
People’s candidate, cf offences similar to those they
know render their favorite vulnerable. This may
be good policy in a desperate cause like Van En
ron's, t ut is revolting to the feelings and princi
ples of honorable warfare.
They charge General Harrison to be a coward,
(which is, perhaps, an exception to the rule laid
down in their mode* of warfare ; for, surely, that
man must be brave in deeds of wickedness, who
can dare to trample the laws and Constitution of
the Ameri an people under his feel, as Van Buren
has done,) and yet history pioves the hero of the
Thames to be no coward. One of their own men
has said, that he was longer in the service, fought
more battles, thin any other general officer in the
late war, and never lost a battle, or words to this
effect. Independent of all this, every page in the
history of the northwestern wars yi Ids him the
palm of victory, and establishes his reputation for
courage. But this charge is as true as many others
brought against him by his enemies. This false
hood will be repelled by every honorable Ameri
can, as a libel upon our national character. What?
General Harrison a coward! Look to the battle
of Tippecanoe, of the Thames, the siege of Fort
Meigs—look to the far west, and see the mountains
of his chivalr}-, and ask yourselves, if any Ameri
can statesman, or slave of power, or of party, de
serves credit on his oath, that would originate or
repeat so filse and foul a slander. Go with me to
the great valley of the Mississippi, and see the
thousands of freemen that now live in peace and
securitj' on the plains where, but yesterday, the
council tire of the savage burned —go to the lakes
and look back with me for a day. But yesterday
we stood on the shore of yonder lake, far, far to
the west —Hark ! hark ye ! What none is that
we hear, as if it were the mutterings of thunder ?
’l is the roar of the British bull-dogs. Whit flash
of light is this that courses along the wave, as if
the lightning of heaven was careering on the wa
ter ? It is the fire of the American artillery.
Listen to tne keen crack of the deadly rifle —then
comes the clash of arms. Hear the cry of the dy
ing and the wounded—then the shout of the vic
tors. Tecumseh falls—Proctor surrenders —Har-
rison is victorious. The British lion howls from
his den —the American eagle flings his wings upon
the w r ind, and beats the news of victory throughout
the laud. The shout of universal joy makes the
welkin ring. All join the jubilee: except only
those who oppo e the war — and Martin Van BU
REN IS THEIH CHIEF.
