TAHEWELT, ADDRESS OF CEXEIUL ANDREW JACKSON TO T»r. PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. [CanclHiie.l.] Il is well known that there have always been those amongst us who wish lo enlarge the powers of the General Government , and lxyv.it nee would mum to indicate lltal ilicrx: is a tendency on the part of this Government to overstep lire Iroundaries marked out for it l.y the constitution lu legitimate authority is abundantly sufficient for all tire purposes for which 'it was created mid its powers lining expressly enumerated there not ha no justification for claiming any thing bay mid them. Every attempt to exercise power b.-yoiid these hauls should be promptly and firmly op|H>-ed. For one evil example will lead l.> other measures soil more mischovious and il the principle of constructive powers or supposed advantages, or circumstance* shall ever be per mitted to justify the a -.umptioii of “ P OW j T 'n't given by the constitution! the General Govern men* will b lore long nb- all the powers of legislation and you will have In elk* d but one consolidated Government.

Tiler. 1 is perhaps, no one of tile powers confer ral on tlie Federal Government so liable to u- I.use as the taxing power. The most productive and convenient sources ol revenue weto nccesaa* rdy given to il that ilmtighl in' aide to perform tlie important doles imposed upon it and tlie taxes which it lays upon commerce being concealed from tlie real payer in the price ol tile article they do not so readily attract tire alien ion ol the pool.! as smaller sum . demanded from them di rectly l.y til laxgatherer. lint the tax imposed on goods fiih'inees lie so much the price ol tile comm r.lily la con miners; arid as many of these duties arc impos' d on in liclea of nccesity which are daily used by tlie gieul body of the people ihc money raised l.y these imposts is drawn fioin their pockets. Gongreas has no right under lire constitution to lake money irom the people, unless it is required to execute same one of tire specific powers intrusted to the Government and il they raise more, than is necessary for such purposes, it is an alms.' of the | ower of taxation and un jual and oppre ire. It may indeed happen that tbe revenue will sometimes . xcecd Ilia amount, dirieipal doh ri tin 1 lav. - were laid, VV lien, hu.vevevcr this is ascertained it is easy to roriuce them for no circumstances can jnstiiy it in as ttii.i.iiw a povver not given to il l.y the constitution in r in taking away tin; money ol tlie people when ii is not no'dud lor tlie legitimate wauls of the <1 ivermnent, Plain as these principles appear to bo, you will yet find (hat ticre is a constant eilorl to induce tin General G ..eminent to go beyond tiro limits of ils taxing power, mid to impose unnecessary burdens upon tin* people. Many puweilul inter ests are continually at work to procure heavy du- Itox on commerce, and to swell the revenue bey ond tlie real necessities of lire public service; and Ilia country has alioady leit tiro injurious ol f.vts ot their combined infinenec. J'liey suc ceeded in obtaining a larill ot duties beating most oppressively on the agricultural and laboring classes nf society, mill producing a levenue that v-onld not be usefully employed within the range of the powers conferred upon Congress; slid, in order to fiat ii upon tiro people this unjust and unequal sysletn of taxation, extravagant schemes of internal improvement were got up in various quarters, to squander lire money,and to purchase support. Thus one unconstitutional rneasuro was intended to lie upheld by another, and thoo huso of the power of taxation was to ho main tained by usurping the power of expending the money in internal improcomenls. You cannot (l ive forgotten tile severe and doubtful struggle through winch wo passed, when the Executive Department of tiiu Government, liy its veto, on deavoie.l to arrurl this prodigal sehonre of injurs lioe, an I to bring back tbe legislation of Congress I i the boon lades prescribed l.y the constitution. -tbe g ... 1 ore and practical judgement of the people, when the subject was brought before all an, sustained the eeuise of the Executive; and l!i s plan of unconstitutional expenditure for lire purposes of corrupt lallucnee i-; I trust finally o ve. throw n, 'i'lie result of tltis decision has been fell in the ■ api.l extinguishment of the public debt, and the targe aeeuaiolulnm el a surplus in tlie treasury, «. rtwith'l.iii ling tlie larill - was reduced and is now very lor below the amount originally con u* nplaied l.y its advocates. Uni. ro!y upon il, tire design to coiled an oxlrava pint revenue, and to burden you with luxes beyond lire economical wants ol tbe Government, is not yet abandoned. Toe various intcresis which have combined lo gt'lir r lo iaipose a heavy larill. and to produce sir overflowing I. .miry, are too strong, and bane too much at slake to surrender the contest. The corporations and wealthy individuals who are en gaged in I irgo manufacturing establishments, de sire a high land h. in tea e their gains. Design ing polio bans will -upport it, lo conciliate their favor, and to obtain the means of profuse expen diture, (or tire put peso of purchasing influence in ether qu, liters, and since lire people have decided that the Federal Government cannot he permit ted to enijiloy its income in internal improve ments, elf ru will be made to seduce and mis lead tire citizens es the several Stales, by holding mil lo the n tire deceitful prospect of benefits lo lie d 'lived tVoai a surp'us rovenna collected by the Gc tor il Gov r.tin. tit. and annually divided among the Slate., And if, encouragedby these flilaci .us hopes, the Si lies should di-regird lire principles of re.mo ny wtiic’i ought to character ir.e every republican Government, and should in dulge in livislr expendituresexceeding their te soorees, lit *y will, before long, find themselves oppressed with debts which they are unable to pay, and lire temptation will become irresistible to support a high laraif, in order lo obtain a surplus for distribution. Do not allow yourselves, my fell iw-eiiixeus lo Go misled on this subject. Tire Federal Government cannot relied a surplus for such purposes, without violating the principles of the r.msiiutii m, & assuming powers which have not been granted, ft is, moreover, a sys tem of injustice, and, if persisted in, will inevita bly, lead to corruption, and must end in ru n. The surplus revenue will be drawn from the pockets of the pa..pie. from toe farmer, the mc ehn lie, and the laboring classes of society; but who will receive il when distributed among the Stales, where it is lo be disposed of by loading State politicians who have friends to favor, and political partisans to gratify 1 II will certainly not he returned to tlr .so who paid it, and who have most need of It, and are honesty entitled lo it. There is but one s ifij rule, and I lint is, to con fine the Geneial G ivernmcnt rigidly within the sphere of its appropriate duties. It has no pow er to raise a revenue, oi impose taxes, except for lire piAposes enumerated in the constitution; and it its income i. found to exceed these wants, il should be forthw ill reduced, and lire burdens of the people so Ur lightened. lo reviewing ib • moil.

Bat ext rbnee lm new pr n-H the mischiefs and dangers of a paper currency, and it rests with you to determine whether the proper remedy shall be applied. The paper system being founded on public con fidence, and having ot il.-e|( no intrinsic value, it is liable to great and sudden litieluations; tbr reby rendering properly insecure, and live wages ol 1 labor unsb a.ly and uncertain. The corporations which create the paper money cannot be relied upon lo keep the circulating medium uniform in amount. In nines of prosperity, when confidence is high, they are templed, who hope to profit by it, to extend their issuers of paper beyond the hounds of discretion ami the reasonable demands of business j And when these issues have been pushed on, from day to day, until public confi dence is at length shaken, then a reaction takes place and they immediately withdraw the credits they have given ; suddenly curtail their issues ; and produce an unexpected and ruinous contrac tion of tire circulating medium, w hich is felt by tire whole community. The hanks, by this means, save them; elves, ami the mischievous conscquen cci of their imprudence and cupidity uro visited upon the public. Nor does the evil stop here. These ebbs and flows in the currency, and these 1 indiscreet extensions of credit, naturally engen der n spirit of speculation injurious to the babes and character of the people. We have already seen its effects in the wild spirit of speculation in the public I mds, am) various kinds of stock, which, within tire last two yaurs seized upon such a mulriludc of our citizens, and threatened to per vade all classes of society, and to withdraw their attention from the sober pursuits nf honest indus try. It is not by encouraging this spirit that we ' shall best preserve public virtue and promote the true interests of onr country. Hut if your cur rency continues ns exclusively paper as it now is, it will foster their eager desire to amass 1 wealth without labor; it will multiply the num | her of dependants on bank accommodations and bank favors ; the template n to obtain money at any sacrifice will become stronger, and inevitably lead to corruption, which will find ils way into ’ your public councils, and destroy, at nr distant 1 day, lire purity ofyour Government. Home of the evils whicli arise from this system of paper press with peculiar hardship upon the class ol society least able to hear il. A portion of this currency frequently becomes depreciated or wotthless, and all of it is easily counterfeited, in such u manner as lo require peculiar skill and much experience lo distinguish lire counterfeit from the geniiic note. These frauds are most generally perpetra ted in the smaller notes, which are used in lire daily transaction of ordinary business; and the losses occasioned by them arc commonly thrown upon the laboring class of society, whose situation and pursuits pul il out of their power to guard themselves from those impositions, and whose daily wages are necessary for their subsistence. It is the duly of every Government so to regulate its currency as to protect this numerous class as fur as pruclicirhh from the impositions of avarice and fraud. Il is more especially the duty of the United Hiatus, where the Government is empha tically tlie Government oflho people, and where this respectable portion of our citizens arc so proudly distinguished from the laboring classes of all other nations, Gy their independent spirit, their love of liberty, their intelligence, and their high tone of moral character. Their industry, in peace, is tiro source of our wealth ; and the Government of the United Htatcs will but ill dis charge ils duties if it leaves them « prey to such dishonest impositions. Vet il is evident that their interests cannot Ire effectually protected, unices silver and gold uro restored to circulation. These views alone, of the paper currency, are sufficient to cull for immediate reform ; I.at there is another consideration which should still more Wrongly press it upon your attention, ilccents events have proved that the paper mo ney system of this country maybe used as an engine to undermine your free institutions; and that those who desire to engross all power in the hands of lho few, and to govern by corruption or force, uro aware of its power, and prepared to em ploy it, Your banks now furnish your only cir culating medium, and money is plenty or scarce, according to the quantity of notes issued by them. While they have capitals not greatly dispruppt lioucd to each other, they are competitors in busi ness, end no one of them run exercise dominion over the rest; and although, in the present stale of the currency, these hanks may and do operate injuriously upon the habits of business, the pecu niary concerns, and Ihc moral tone of society ; yet, fiom their number and dispersed situation, they cannot combine for lire purposes of political influence ; and whatever may bo the dispositions of some of them, their power of mischief must necessarily ho confined to a narrow space, and felt only in their immediate neighborhoods. lint when tlie Charter for the Dank of the U aited Slates was obtained from Congress, it per fected tire schemes of the paper system, and gave lo ils advocates the position they have struggled to obtain, from iho commencement of the Federal government down to the present hour. The im mense capital and peculiar advantages bestowed upon il, enabled it lo exercise despotic sway over the other banks in every part of tho country. From its superior strength, it could seriously in jure, if not destroy, the business of any one of them which might incur its resentment; aniT it openly claimed lor itself tho power of regulating the currency throughout the United States. In other words, it asserted (and it undoubtedly pos sessed,) the power to make money plenty or scarce, at ils pleasure, at any time, and in any quarter of the Union, by controlling tho issues of other banks, and permitting un expansion, or compelling a general contraction of tho circulating medium, according to its own will. Tiro other banking institutions were sensible of its strength, and they soon generally became its obedient in struments, ready at all limes to execute its man dates; and with the hanks necessarily went, also, that numerous class of persons in our commercial Cities, who depend together on hank credits for their solvency, and means of business ; and who arc therefore obliged, for their own safely, lo propi tiate the favor of the raoncyjpower, by distinguish ed zeal and devotion in ils service. The result of the id advised legislation which, established this great monopoly, was, to concentrate tho whole moneyed power oflho Union, widt its boundless means of corruption, and its numerous depen dants, under the direction and command of one acknowledged head; thus organizing this parti cular interest as ono body, and securing to it unity and concert of action throughout the Uni ted Htatcs, and enabling it to bring forward, upon any occasion, its entire and undivided strength, to support or defeat any measure of tho Government. In the hands of this formidable power, thus per fectly organized, was also placed unlimited domin ion over the amount oflho circulating medium, giving il the povver lo regulate the value of pro perty, and the fruits of labor in every quarter of lire Union; and to bestow prosperity, or bring ruin, upon any City or section of the country, as might best comport with its own interest or policy. \Ve are not left to conjecture how Iho moneyed power, thus organized, and with such a weapon in its hands, would lie likely to use it. The distress and alarm which pervaded and agitated the whole country, when Iho Bank of tho United States waged war upon the people; in order to compel them lo submit to its demands, canont yet be [for gotten. The ruthless and unsparing temper with which whole cities and communities were oppres sed, individuals impoverished and ruined, and a scone of cheerful prosperity suddenly changed into one of gloom and despondency, .ought to .be indelibly impressed on the memory of the people oflho United Htatcs. If such was its power [in u lime of peace, what would it not have been in a season of war, with an enemy at your doors! No nation but Ihc freemen of the United Slates, could have come out victorious from such a contest; yet. if von had not conquered, Iho Government would luxe passed from the hands of the many j to the hands of the few ; and this organized mo i ney power, from its secret conclave, would have dictated the choice of your highest officers, and f compelled you to make peace or war, ns best suit ed their own wishes, Tho forms of your gov eminent might, for a lime, have remained; but . its living spirit would have departed from it. i he distress and sufferings inflicted on the pco . pie by iho bank, are some of the fruits of that system of policy which is continually striving lo enlarge the authority of the Federal Government beyond the limit fixed by the constitution. The I rowers enumerated in that instrument do not | confer on Congress the right to establish such a corporation as »bo Bank vt the United States: and tho c\il consequence* which followed may |r warn us of the danger of departing from the true j t rule nf construction, and permitting temporary i n circumstances, or the hope of ! ' tier proranti „• ! ! the public welfare, to influence in any degn ■, 1 1 ) our decision* upon the extent ol the authority ■ f i the General Government. Let u . abide by the con-titution as it is written, or amend it in the : constitutional mode, if it is found to be defective, j I The severe lessons of experience will, I doubt j i not be sufficient to prevent Congre- . from again chartering such a monopoly, even if the constitu tion did not present an insuperable objection to it. lint yon nm.-t remember, my fellow-citi zens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty; and that you must pay the price if you wish to aeemo the Messing. it behoves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States, as well os in the Federal Government. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head, and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently de monstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States. Defeated in the General Go vernment, (he eamo e.lass of intriguers and poli ticians will now resort lothc Sutes, and endeavor to obtain there the same organization, which they failed to perpetuate in Union ; and by specious and deceitful plans of public advantages, State interests and Slate pride, they will endoavor to establish, in the different Stales, one moneyed in stitution wilh overgrown capital, and exclusive privileges sufficient to enable it to control the op erations of the hanks. Such an institution will ho pregnant with the same evils produced by the Bank of the United States, although it* sphere of action js more confined; and in the State in which it is chartered,' the money power will be able to embody its whole strength, and to move together with undivided force, to accomplish any object it may wish to attain. You have already had abundant evidence of its power to inflict in jury upon the agricultural, mechanical, and la boring classes of society; and over those whose engagements in trade or speculation render them dependent on hank facilities, the dominion nf the Slate monopoly will ho absolute, and their obedi ence unlimited. With such a hank and a paper currency, the money power would, in a few days, govern the State and control its measures; and if a sufficient number of States can be induced to create such establishments, the lime will soon come when it will again take the field against the United States, and succeed in perfecting and per petuating its organization by a charier from Con gress It is one of the serious evils of our present sys tem of hanking, that it enables one class of so ciety—and that by no means a numerous one— by its control over the currency, to act injuriously upon the interests of all the others, ami to cxer ciso more than its just proportion of influence in political affairs. The agricultural, the mechani cal, and the laboring classes, have little or no share in the direction of the great moneyed cor porations; and from their habits and the nature of their pursuits, they are incapable of forming extensive combinations to act together with uni ted force. Such concert of action may sometimes he produced in a single city, or in a small dis trict or country, by means of personal communi cations Willi each other; hut they have no regu lar or active correspondence with those who are engaged in similar pursuits in distant places; they have hut little patronage to give to the press, and exercise hut a small share of influence over it; they have no crowd of dependants about them, who hope to grow rich without labor, by their countenance and favor, and who arc, therefore, always ready to execute their wishes. The plan ter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer, all know that their success depends upon their own industry and economy, and that they must not expect to become suddenly rich by the fruits of their toil. Yet these classes of society form the great body of the people of the United Stales ; they ate the bone and the sinew of the country ; men who love liberty and desire nothing hut equal rights and equal laws, and who moreover, hold tile great mass of our national wealth al though it is distributed iu moderate amounts a moug the millions of freemen who possess it.— But, with overwhelming numbers and wealtlt on their side, they are inconstant danger of losing their fair influence in the government, and wi li difficulty maintain their just rights against the incessant efl’orts daily made to encroach upon them. The mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper curioncy, which they are able to control; from the multitude of corporations, ami exclusive pri vileges, which they have succeeded in obtaining in the different Slates, and which are employed altogether for their benefit; and unless you be come more watchful in your Stales, and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges, yon will, in tire end, find that the most important powers of government have been given or bartered away, and the control over your dear est interests lias passed into the hands of these corporations. The paper money system, and its natural asso ciates, monopoly aud exclusive privileges, have already struck their roots deep in the soil; and I will require all your efforts to check its further growth, and to eradicate the evil. The men who profit by the abuses and desire to perpetuate them, will coniine to besiege the halls of legislation in the General Government as well as in the Slates, and will seek, by every artifice, to mislead and deceive the public servants. It is to yourselves that you must look for safety, and the means of guarding and perpetuating your free institutions. In your hands is rightfully placed the sovereignty of the country, and to you every one placed in authority is ultimately responsible. It is always in your power to sec that the wishes of the people are carried into faithful execution, and their will, when once made known, must sooner or later be obeyed.—And while the people remain, as I trust they ever will, uncorrupted and incorruptible, and continue watchful and jealous of their rights, the Government is safe, aud the cause of freedom will continue to triumph over all its enemies. But il will require steady aud persevering ex ertions on your part to rid yourselves of the iniqui ties ami mischiefs of the paper system, and to cheek the spirit of monopoly and other abuses which have sprung up with it, and of which it is the main support. So many interests are uni ted to resist all reform on this subject, that you must not hope the conflict will be a short one, nor success easy. My humble efforts have not been spared, during my administration of the go- I vernment, to restore the constitutional currency , of gold and silver; and something, I trust, has been done towards the accomplishment of this most desirable object. Hut enough yet remains ! to require all your energy and perseverance. ( The power, however, is in your hands, and the , remedy must and will be applied if you determine upon it. * ' While lam tints endeavoring to press upon I your attention the principles which I deem of vi 1 lal importance in the domestic concerns of the , country, I ought not to pass over, without notice, the important considerations which should govern your policy towards foreign powers It is, un- I questionably, our Irbeinterest to cultivate the most friendly understanding with every nation, and to . avoid by every honorable means, the calamities of war ; and we shall best attain this object by frank- I ness aitd sincerity in our foreign intercourse, by ! the prompt and faithful execution of treaties, &by | justice and impartiality in our conduct to all. But no nation, however, desirous of peace, can hope * to escape occasional collisions with other powers; ' and the soundest dictates of policy require that i wo should place ourselves in a condition to assert our rights, if a resort to force should ever become necessary. Our local situation, our long line of ' seacoast, indented by numerous bays, with deep 1 rivers of opening into the interior us well as our i extended and still increasing commerce, point to the navy as our natural means of defence. h t will, in the end, bo found to be the cheapest and most effectual; and now is the time, in a season , of peace, and with an overflowing revenue, that , we can, year after year, add to its strength, with out increasing the burdens of the people. Il is your true policy. For your navy will not only , protect your rich and flourishing commerce in | distant seas, hut will enable you to reach aud an noy the enemy, and w ill give to defence its great est efficiency, by meeting danger at a distance * fiom borne. It is impossible, by any line es forti fications, to guard every point from attack against . a hostile force advancing from the ocean and sc- J looting its object; but they are indispensable to , rvtcct cities from bbmbetdmcnf, do.'k-vards and . 4 1 naval arsenals from destruction i and to give shelter to merchant vessels in time of war, and to h single ships or weaker squadrons when pressed C by superior force. Fortification* of this descrip- f tion canot be too soon completed and armed, and 5 in a cundi ion of th« most perfect prcpcratioii. c The abundant means we now possess cannot be \ applied in any manner more useful to the coun- si try ; am) when this is done, and our naval force ( | sufficiently strengthened, and our militia armed, s I we need not fear that any nation vriil wantonly - insult ua, or needlessly provoke hostilities. We t shall more cert .inly preserve peace, when it is I; well understand that we are prepared for war. fi In presenting to you, my fellow-citizens, these t parting counsels, I Save brought bes ,ro you the t leading principles upon which I endeavored to *J administer the Government in the high office 1 with which you have twice honored me. Know- t ing that the path of freedom is continually beset t by enemies, who often assume the disguise of t friends, I have devoted the last hours of my pub- t lie life to warn you of the dangers. The pro- t gress of the United States, under our free and t happy institutions, has surpassed the most san- ( guiim hopes of the founders of the repuhlia. Our growth has lieen rapid beyond all former example, < in numbers, in wealth, in know ledge, and all the useful arts which contribute to the comforts and 1 convenience of man ; and from the earliest ages < of history to the present day, there never have | been thirteen millions of people associated to- | gelhcr in one political body, who enjoyed so < much freedom and happiness, as the people of 1 these United States. You have no longer any cause to fear danger from abroad; your strength I and power arc well known throughout tlie civil ized world, as well as the high and gal/ant bear- . ings of your sons. It is from within, among yourselves, from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition, and inordinate thirst for power, that factions will be farmed and liberty ' endangered. It is against such designs, whatever disgusc the actors may assume, that you have es pecially to guard yourselves. You have the high est of human trusts committed to your care. Providence has showered on this favored land blessings without number, and has chosen you as the guardians of freedom to preserve it for the benefit of the human race. May ho, who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, make you worthy of the favors he has bestowed, and enable you, with pure hearts and pure hands, and sleep less vigilance, to guard ami defend to Iho end of time, the great Charge he has committed to your keeping. My own race is nearly run ; advanced age and failing health warn me that before long I must pass beyond the reach of human events, and cease to feel the vicissitudes of human affairs. I thank God that roy life has been spent in a land et liberty, and that ho has given me a heart to love my country with the affection of a son. And filled wilh gratitude for your constant and unwavering kindness, I bid you a last and affec tionate farewell. ANDREW JACKSON. CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AUGUSTA. Tuesday Evening, March 14, 1837. The failures in New Orleans continue. The papers of that place say but little about them, endeavoring, no doubt, to hide the real state of things from the public. Those immense failures must have some influence upon the cotton mar ket, and a much greater upon the price of ne groes, Time, however, can only developc the extent of each. GEN. JESSUP. After this officer has done all he could (0 put himself up and others down, ho has at last been compelled to make the amende honorable to Gen. Scott and Gen. Gaines, for what he said about their failures in Florida. Sec the article in to day’s paper from the Columbia Telescope. We conclude to-day, the document which pre sents itself to the reader as the farewell address of Andrew Jackson to the people of the United Slates. We have read it with much attention and with mingled feelings of mortification and disgust. Mortification for the weakness which it beliays and gross inconsistencies in which it in volves the author—disgust that he should aspire to place himself by the side of Washington With some few exceptions, it is purely a partizan document and intended solely to continue upon the public mind, that influence which its author possessed while in the Executive Chair. It may be summed up in four words—the Tariff—Nul lification —the Dank—the Gold Currency ! It may bo answered in almost as few. I denounces the Tariff and its authors, and yet he voted for the Tariff of 1834—it points distinctly and plainly to the nullificrs of the South as enemies of the country, and yet Gen. Jackson himself, when that doctrine was first advanced in the Senate of the United States by Gen. Hayno of South Car olina, addrosed a letter to that gentleman decla ring that doctrine to bo the true republican, Jef fersonian doctrine, and that Genl. Hnyne’s speech ought to be hung up in the same frame with the Declaration of Independence and Washington’s Farewell Address. It denounces the Bank and nil Hank's, and yet ho once proffered his services to Congress to draft the charter of a national Bank. His visionary ideas about a return to a mctalic currency, arc well fitted to come from him who has deranged all currency, and set afloat up- 1 on the ocean of experiment all the great ’ of society. There is a vein of demagogue-ism which per- , vades the whole document, about the rich and poor—the laboring classes &c. We ourselves are as poor as the most of people, and work as hard to make a living, but we detest and despise * that hypocritical cant, fashionable now a days, 1 which is ever full of professions of love and re- f gatd for the poor, while it never puts a penny in 1 their pockets, or brings a loaf of bread to their 1 mouths. We look upon it as tho first evidence of a paltry demagogue, to hear a man always 1 preaching his special love for the poor, and wo ‘ have always felt less confidence in the stability t of our institutions in proportion, as we have seen 1 the people gulled and deluded by such specious t professions. t All the tyrants who have overthrown the re- 1 publics of tho world, have sung syren songs to the c people and the poor. Even Robespierre, the t greatest and the bloodiest of all tyrants, could c preach as pretty a homily to the poor as any of the I demagogues of the present day, and perhaps s w ithin twenty four hours afterwards, order a score f of these same dear people to the scaffold. t Wo copy from the New York Herald the fol- h lowing article, to which in the main we assent as 1' a correct and giaphic description of the farewell address. fi From the New Fori- Herald. tl GEN. JACKSON’S FAREWELL ADDRESS. ~ The Farewell Address of Gen. Jackson is one " of the most remarkable documents of the present day. It concentrates in its columns all the cncr- S gy, the folly, the wisdom, the knowledge, the pie- r judices, the patriotism, the antipathies of the sin- e guhu and mysterious being whose signature it bears, it is not probably written by Andrew P Jackson, but it contains bis mind—his soul—his passion—bis feelings—his good and evil traits, ll Like the Supremo Being of the ancient fire wor- „ shippers, this document contains a good and evil , principle,—his appeal to the lowest prejudices of 1 the mob against the commercial institutions of '' the country, springs/mm his evil principle of ao sou. This remarkable and mysterious document wilL 1 have a greater effect than the world dreams of.j General Jackson’s Farewell Address lays the] f.nmdat on of the ruin of his successor. On the subject of bunking and currency—of trade and commerce —of speculation and public lands, Mr. Van Buren is decidedly with the commercial clas ses and|ihc higher interests throughout the Union. General Jackson is a personification of the mob spirit. He has left the mantle of his popularity —not to the kitchen—not to the regency —not to Mr. Van Buren—he lias gallantly and fearless ly flung it over the mob of Mew York—the loco focos, just as much as Elijah did Elisha, when tho former ascended to heaven and loft the latter to continue Ins power and influence on earth. The parting advice of General Jackson will light up a flame ti.at will spread conflagration round the heads of the young administration. His bit ter denunciation of banks and paper money—of the credit system—of all tbe institutions of com merce, by which the country has prospered so much and so well, will call into existence a party that will overturn the hypocrites now in pow er. From this moment we expect to see tho politi cal events of this - country take a singular tin n. The Farewell Address lays the foundation of a new party. The locofocos of this city—the whole elements of the mob—plant themselves on this paper, and begin a war against the possessors of power that will startle many before the year is out. There can be no mistake in this opinion. Events are daily bringing those matters to light. Watch the mob of this city—of every city— throughout the Union. From the Charleston Mercury of yesterday. From Marseilles, via Malaga ash Gib 11 ALTAR. By the brig Charleston, Capt. Burnett, arrived on Saturday from Marseilles, we have received Gibraltar papers to the 17th January inclusive. The U. 8. Sloop of War John Adams sailed a few days previous for Mahon. Officers and crew all well. the principal matter of interest is the battle of Bilboa, in which, after fourteen hours hard fight ing, the Carlists wore entirely defeated, wilh the loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, of near a thousand men and twenty-five pieces of heavy ar tillery. The loss on tho Queen’s side was very severe. The Carlists had reappeared in small bands and committed depredations in Valencia, Cordova and Arragon. The widow of Gen. Minahad been ennobled, and Gen. Espartcro made Count of Luchana. The greatest disorder seems to prevail in the Queen’s Government—her troops arc deserting in some parts, and so irregularly are they paid, that when a member of the Cortez asked the Minister ofFinance how much was due to the Army of Arragon he replied, “God may know, but men do not.” A dreadful storm occurred at Malaga 2d Jan uary, in which 7 vessels were drivon on shore and lost in the harbor, and an English Erigate was dismasted. The city was then quiet, but strong spmplomsofa Revolution were manifest. Left U. S. Frigate Constitution, Com. Elliott, from Tangsers, who bad concluded in the most amicable manner, the Treaty with the Emporor of Morocco, on which occasion, 50 guns were fired by the Emporor, to bo rnpoated on each anniversa ry of the Treaty; Officers and crew all well. The Constitution was to have sailed the same day for Malaga news having been received hy an English steamer’ that a Revolution had broken out and that the inhabitants were engaged in the work of mutual destruction. From the Charleston Mercury, March 13. SHIPWRECK. Tho barque Havre, Higginson, from Balti more for this port, with a cargo of bricks, lime hay,]whiskcy,&c. consigned to sundry merchants, went ashore on the South Breakers at ISjo’clock Saturday night, owing to herhaving missed stays; her rudder unshipped as soon as she struck, and she bilged in half an hour afterwards. The ves sel and the greater part of the cargo will he totally lost. Tho officer and crew reached the city in a pilot boat at noon yesterday. Several smacks left the city for the wreck, immediately on their being apprised that tbe Barque was ashore, two of which returned to tho city last evening. They staled that the water was two feet above the lower deck ; they unbent all the sails, but could not take them off, owing to tho heavy sea. Several smacks were in tho vicinity, walling the first favorable opportunity to wreck her. From the Columbia Telescope. Gen. Jessup’s last official despatch contains an apology to his predecessors in comjnand in Florida, for his misrepresentations in regard to last year’s campaign. It comes wilh rather a bad grace, now that ho is himself in tho situation of those whom he formerly accused. The circum stances in which he stands arc aggravated, too, by the dishonorable mode by which he obtained his present command, as well as the extreme con trast between his boastful promises and small performance. Tho passage is as follows. The thing is done without art. Gen. J. appears to be rendering a magnanimous atonement to others, while the fact is that he is merely making excuses for himself. “As an act of justice to all my predecessors in command, I consider it my duty to say that the difficulties, attending military operations in this country can be properly appreciated only by those acquainted with them. I have had advan tages which neither of them possessed, in better preparations and more abundant snpplics; and I found it impossible to operate with any prospect of success until I had established a line of depots across the country. “This is a service which no man would seek with any other view than the mere performance of his duty; distinction or increase of reputation is'out of the question, and the difficulties are such, that the best concerted plans may result in abso lute failure, and the best established reputation lost without a fault. “If I have at any time said aught in disparage ment of the operations of others in Florida, either verbally or in writing, officially or unofficially, knowing the country as I now know it, I consid er myself bound as a man of honor solemnly to retract it.” TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. At a meeting of the Richmond Blues, on Sa turday, the'llth instant, called for the purpose paying a tribute of respect to their late officer and comrade, Lieut. THEODORE J. DROWN, the following preamble resolutions were unani mously adopted. W’hcrcas, an afflictive dispensation of Provi dence having bereaved us of our highly valued Second Lieutenant, TiiEononE J. Bnowst, Esq. who was alike respected as an officer and be loved as a friend—an honor to our Corps, and to the community in which ho lived—an affec tionately united to us by all the inspiring and en dearing associations of military life, both in the city and in the camp; and tho many virtues of tho officer and the soldier, the citizen and the gentleman; it becomes our last, sad, mournful, but pleasing duty, bearing his remains in deep sorrow to the grave, to condole with his afflicted family and kindred on their irreparable loss, and tender to them and the community our feeble but affectionate tribute of respect and regard for his worth and memory—Therefore, Resolved, That we sincerely condole with his bereaved family and relatives, and deeply sympathise with them in the afflicting loss which we, also, strong ly feel, and greatly share. That, in testimony of profound respect and re gard for his worth and memory, this Corps will wear crape on the left arm for thirty days, and erect a tablet over his remains, wilh au appo priate inscription thereon. That a Committee be appointed to provide for the erection of said tablet, and another to trans mit a copy of these proceedings to the family of: the deceased, and provide for their publication in the gazettes of the city.

To-day two mere houses went by the board, What tire effect is to hr upon stacks, we cannot say, but so far as the general bu- ■ siness of the city is concerned we do not apprehend . any serious results. Temporarily a slight check has . been given to that briskness in business for which ! our city has been so remarkable, but a lew days will t bring all right attain. Cotton is at a stand still, cam- J poratiYcly speaking. Nothing is recorded by the j board of bickers Some few transactions have , taken place out-doors, but they are small and can- | not be adduced as evidence of the state of the mark et. ihe general feeling is to hold off under present circumstances, particularly as the difficulties have taken place among the great Cotton Factors. The prices of the principal articles of trade as will be seen below, have varied in some degree In Sugar there is scarcely any improvement. Wr 1 hear es a sale of 100 hhds prime on the Levee at 6 i a Cl. A considerable quantity has been detained on i the Levee during the late rain, and purchasers have held off till the weather shall clear up. i Molasses stands at old prices, 33 a 31—a sale of 300 bbls. ' In Tobacco we have no sales to record. About 350 hhds landing this day. Some little doing in flour to-day. We note a sale of 500 bbls at $8 62. No alterations in the price of pork. Some small transactions not worth recording. Some falling off in bacon. Hams may be quoted at 12 cents. Sides 12 a 121 cts. Lard is dull at 81 a 10cts. We record one sale of 200 kegs at 9 ; another of 500 do prime at 91. Western Butler is dull at 18 a 20; Goshen at 28 cents, fair supply. Kentucky Bagging is going off in small sales at 23 a 25. Rope, 10 a 12. The demand is not great. The Northern article commands 21 a 22 cts. From the N, Y. Com. Adv. March 9. nm JANEIRO COFFEE MARKET TO JAN. 20. Cnfee. —Prices advanced simultaneously with the decline of the Exchange; and the demand has be come very lively chiefly for good first and superior; there is, however, very little of ordinary first and se conds on hand. To-day 3,000 bags wire sold at our quotations, after which the stork on hand inclu ding to day’s arrivals, remains 13,000 bags. The I supplies during this month have been pretty fair, and are expected to continue so on account of the favor able weather that has been prevailing. By our annaeil annual statement it will be seen that the export of 1836 exceeds by 63,455 hags that of 1835, but that from the Ist of July to 31st Decem ber, (being the Ist six months of the crop year) there was a decrease of 34,235 bogs. This decrease is not considerable, and jnstifies what we anticipated in the beginning oflhe crop, as well as in the beginning of the year. It is not like ly that there will be a greater proportional decrease in the ensuing six months, ending 30th June. To the United Stales were exported last year 49,- 213 bags more than 1835, and the deimnd for t hat ' quarter still appears to be on the increase. The new crop promises very- fairly in almost all parts of the country, and is likely to bo much earlier than the last. There is no want of hands, the supply of now blacks continuing to an enormous extent; be sides more attention is being paid to the roads lead ing to the coffee districts, as well as to the means of conveyance, so that by far greater quantities hence forward can bo brought to market than could have been brought in former years. From the New York Herald. WALL STREET,. March 9. Difficulties crowd upon the money market. The singular confusion in which Congress broke up, and the myslcry and incertitude of the new administration begin to speak a baneful effect a round. Stocks yesterday again fell and the lan guor increased. In this state of gloom, only a solitary ray is seen, like a flood of gold upon the venerable bead of the Delaware & Hudson con cern. The surplus of that institution is equal to 6 per cent, and a dividend of 3 per cent is to he declared in June next. It is whispered, however, that some extraordinary transactions have been discovered in relation to the Delaware & Hudson. By some mysterious procees, the same coal which the Company sold up the river at 55 per ton, brought the next purchasers 58 and 59 here in the city. By such means, several hundred thou - sand dollars have been made during the present #fea ;on, by some of those who havo the longest and cleanest lingers. Wo should not he surprised to hear that an in vestigation of these operations had been ordered by the legislature. Who will bring it before that body 1 Yet the interest produced by any local affairs, or solitary transactions; cannot take away men’s minds from the singular position of the monetary concerns of the country, and this new crisis ap prehended in our commercial affairs. • The prices of all the necessaries of life continue as high as ever—and money is as scarce and dear. The le gislature is at this moment devising remedies and relief, but it is generally believed that as Congress did, so will the legislature. The Bank Investigation is forgotten—the usury law defea ted—the new private bank law will be defeated— and almost every measure devised or discussed is cither ridiculous or impossible. The government treasury overflowing with money—the merchants paying 2 to 4 per cent a month—and the neces saries of life 100 per cent higher than they were a year ago. A great deal of declamation and twaddle are expended by the Wall street prints, on the recent law repealing the Treasury order. What does it amount to 1 What is the use of mere technical discussions I We want practical and prompt movements. What will Van Buren do I. He was originally against the removal of the depos its, which many believe was the first great dis turbance caused to our commercial system. We know personally this fact. Will Mr. Van Bu ren, gradually but slowly, retrace the steps of the last administration, and restore the commercial interests of the country to their former condition! Tliis is the great point—this is the Gordian knot —this is the question to be solved. If ho does not we shall see a more terrible crisis in our com merce—in our currency—in our exchanges—in our hanking system, than the country ever yet saw'. A Dry Goods Spring business appears to be somewhat lively at thisearly period of the season. A sale of 250 packages of foreign and domestic dry goods was made yesterday, by Haggerly & Sons, at fair prices. It was well attended. The market for Bread Studs is in a singular condition. Western flourhomains firm at 512 — but a decline has begun, and we believe it will not stop till it fall considerably. The weather was quite open yesterday. In a week more, the rivers may break thus release vast quan tities of grain and flour on their way to this city. The general opinion is, that flour will fall to 58 before the next crops can be reached. The pre- 1 sent extraordinary prices ars produced entirely by speculation. Some talk ot selling flour on time, at 52 under present quotations, deliverable to a week after the rivers shall have opened. Foreign grain is still atrivingin great quantities. Yesterday wo had another import of 12,846 bags of wheat. It aso calculated that 500,000 bags arc on their way to this port from the ports of the Baltic and Black Sea. It is not possible that the present high prices can continue long. Flour is higher in Now York than in any city of the civilized world either in Europe or America. What a strange anomaly! By the Express Mail wo have accounts from Mobile to the Ist inst. Money is scarce in Mo bile, but there is a slight reaction for the better. Sales of cotton considerable, but at low prices. Receipts in the week, 12,842 —exports, 14,290 — on baud, 55,819 bales. 1 Marine Intelligence. ARRIVED. Steamer Etiwan, from Charleston.
