I /t f. dishonest, and angerotts monopolies. c an say is, they are the work of the party. r . Chairman, the history of this war upon urrency is curious enough—it was all pas no reason. As soon as General Jackson ne angry with the Stale Banks, he swore he j have no more to do with banks of any and forthwith issued the famous specie cir , which was in itself the forerunner of this 'abominations, and in its practical effect de trated a miniature picture of what is to be ide-spread ruin of this last experiment upon urrency—for truly, Sir, the people cannot mother. They are exhausted by the war nks, the specie circular, and the anticipated [ions of the Sub-Tieasury e divorce of Government and banks began 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 it purports to be. I have said I believed was no necessity for such a law, and stated in relation to existing laws organizing the ury Department, showing the truth of that an. It has never been disproved—it cannot The condition of the finances, before they lampered with, and their condition now, is enough. Why, then, are we still urged to this odious scheme ? to make this fearful iment?

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. J V^Z INGTOW .
