fa I to he perpetuated by clennnditig llic
whale amount of those (lues in specie, at a
period ol doubt and want of confidence and
with « greatly tiiinihislieJ specie btsis!—
Wmlst alluding to the Treasury Circular, I
cannot forbear lo say that if the demand ol
•peem is the true policy of the Government,
1 am at a loss to see upon what grounds that
mess ire ot I‘icsida .1 Jackson was so severe
ly denounced, ll was a wise and prudent
measure —ll was going j rat half way in the
great process “of salutary reform, now so
much nmded. “it is said that this innovation,
us a demand for specie, must nut bo attempt
-ed all at once, it must, be done gradually.—
ITna Treasury Circular was a measure ol
Hast character—demanding specie for lauds,
receiving bank paper for imposts. It struck
"tun at die part must d sensed. The practice
of discounting excessively on Government
deposees prevailed must in the western de
posit banka, and lo av; ry small extent in the
importing cities. T..u great point ol a di
vorce ol the Government from banks, was
jus lull attained by the Treasury Circular.
Jl aas a moat fii occasion lo finish Urn good
•work by making the separation complete, by
refusing to receive any thing but spec e, not
only tor lands, bui aso for imposts. \ ery
olifiarcnl was the sentiment of Congress and
the country. An act war passed with mi
precedents! unanimity directing hank paper
to be received for all duos thus renewing that
•connection with the banks which we urotold
is the “fruitful cause ol all our woes.” 1 can
nut sue how it is that m it was mons
trous beyond the power of language to ex
press, to demand specie, and in ldd7 it is as
monstrous not in ilo it. ll is no reply to say
glut the bankri'vere then paying specie ; it
is not proposed to receive their bills now un
til they return to specie ptymonls. Nor Is
there the least force in the position, that the j
Government was hereto ore connected, but ;
ilia! it is now separated fiom tin; banks. It
was no more thus connected in H,TI 1 and r>
than it now is. It then had money on depos
it—s , u has now. ll then was bound to re
ceive the lulls of specie paying banks—,-*o it
is now. lint if it were true, Ido not see the ,
force of liitv reason ng. It the cotini xiun
with banks was hostile to the public liberty,
to virtue, genius, chivalry and honor, it vv s'
the doty of every patriot to tear it as m Inr j
and not" o wail upon i’r.ivt■leuett” to dis-1

p'a'cs the destruction of banks, and driving
bank paper from circulation, if they moan
any thing: from Col. Renton, the original
author of the humbug, down lo llic Reformer,
the last convert.
II may not be uninatrnclive lo advert lo tlie
quarters from which theae new ligh'a arc
about lo be shed upon a hitherto benighted
world. Trts.y nothing ol others, its ccrhesl
and leading advocates in both houses are Col.
Ronton ol Missouri —who hss so managed
Ins own concern* as to have spent Ins whole
life undo, the terrors of a deputy sheriff and
, writs of fi. fae. without number ifnging oyer
, hui -and C. C. Catnbtcling, who lias four or
five limes tailed in a small mercantile btisi
, ness in Now Vork. It is in no unkind spirit
, tliai I allude to these thing-, but to point oul
, the dangers ol'trutting the whole finances and
r currency of the com,try to the wild schemes
of men who have been unable to manage their
own small privs'o concern*. Thai was not a
had saying of Gen. Jackson,that l,e would trust
no one wnh the afi'tiirsof the public,who had
proven him «elf unable to manage hi* own. No
one has lurguttcn the latnous speech of Col.
Renton, years none by, m which lie predicted
‘‘that gold and silver would bo the only curren
cy, and that every farmer would have Ins neat
silk purs*, with the yellow hoys shining
through;” all this, too, was to ho accom
pliahed solely by demanding specie for gov
ernment dues. This was the sole instrument
by which n universal metallic currency was
to be brought about. ‘‘This was Iho head and
front of Ins offending. No more.” And lor
tins uml this only, denunciation and ridicule
fin ve been exhausted upon him; and for this,
and Ibis only, has tic been from that day lo
Hi n known as the “great liumlmggor.” He
always disclaimed any oilier power over the
banks than this, and desired no other to bring
about the groat blessing of a hard currency.
I noticed tho ollmr d-y, an article in llic
Char es,im Mercury, beaded “Another Hum
bug.” 1 had supposed that the Mercury
would have avoided tho word. II called up
on to define this word, lliimuvu, I should say
that it is a thing which certain presses and
pulit 1 lans one year denounce aa an impudent
imposture, an impracticable lolly—and the
next year extol as a mciwjn; of the profound
cat wisdom. It was this same proposition to
drmand the dues of the government in specie,
then for tho first time broached, which was so
eloquently denounced by Mr, McDuffie, one
of Ui* grcalc.st intellects of this or any other
country, and a man who never knew a motive
m Ins public lilo bill for the honor and happi
ness of his country. Mr, McDuffie sail 1 , “It

May the honest devotees of a hard currency,

I are opposed to the banking sys ein,it| ou what

untary victims of scaring imimsture and avoid ■

; attempted to cxjiose. Let the people of tho
United W ales rouse up from their slumber of
fatal security, or when they do awake tt will
lie only to clank their chains*.
Tnc d ifitig imposture thus denounced with
equil truth and eloquence, was the identical
proposition now made, to demand the Govern,
rneiil dues in specie: a measure which if per
sisted m must involve the destruction of the
hanks. M. Hunter, a young member from

The leading whig papers in England arc now
making vigorout war upon the church —or rather
upon the intobrance and pride of the overpaid
dignitaries, whoic services toihe cause of religion
and morals, they present in striking contrast with
(heir vast emoluments, and both with the services
and emoluments of the inferior clergy. J udging
from the tone oi these payers, wc prognosticate
that the hierarchy in England is destined soon to
have a full.
The arrival oflho New York packets George
Washington and Qocliec, at Liverpool and Ports
mouth, is announced in the London evening
papers of the Id. Those papers contain extracts
from New Yjirk journals of the 10th October, at
which lime the sub treasury bill had just passed
ia the Senate.
A meeting was held at Birmingham on the
30th of (b utter, at which a petition to the Queen
was agreed upon, praying for a charter ol incor
poration. It will probably be granted, and Bir
mingham thus Viccaino a city.
The secretary ot the National Association in
Ireland, has at last concluded to pay his tithes,
having resisted for many months. At about the
same lime a farmer came to the same judicious
resolution, after being in jail 7 months lor resist
ing payment. Uis thought that there will bo no
more wilful opposition to the collection of the
tithes. Mr. O’Connell having recommended its
discontinuance. By the way, wo must not for
get to mention that the National Association was
dissolved on the 31st, according to order from the
great agitator, who seems to have put it out as
easily as he got it up.

of Shetland women; so lino that although each
thread consists of three straits, a pair ol the stock

proof of attachment.

Uttflalo, Saturday, Nov. 9. $
The following communication was hand* I in
this afternoon. It will be seen pretty highly col
ored by the writer’s loyal notions, but Us state
ment of facts can probably be relied upon, and, as
it gives a mote fill and particular account of the
recent events at Toronto than has yet appeared,
wc are induced to make it public.
UrrFAtu, Saturday, 4 P. M.
To the Editors of the Daily Com. Adv.
Gentlemen —Having arrived here last evening,
from Toronto, (which place 1 left yesterday mor
ning.) and being surprised at the statement here,
I lake the liberty of giving you the facts, as I am
acquainted with every thing that has taken place
there within the last few days.
The first symptoms of disturbance at Toronto
occurred on Monday evening, when it was dis
covered by tlic burning of Dr. Thom’s house, and
|by sc'dal who bad been taken prisoners and es
caped, that lint rcliel-, to a considerable number,
vrnieil With rules, spears, Ac. and headed by Mc-
Keiiiicptiso ,'ivat; "u >.> within two miles and a
j hull of tha city, projK.-iuj,. as they have since de
dated, totako the city, rob the banks, and set it
! on tire.
, But the eit.xf.ns, by this tints being alarmed,
armed themselves as they liesl could, and ad
vance to meet them, upon which the rebels retrea
ted upon Youngc street, as fat as Montgomery’s,
about 5 miles out, and there made their head,
quarters. It must he understood that Toronto
! was at this time in a defenceless condition—the
whole of the troops having left some time ago for
{ Lower Canada; but no lime was lost, and never
was a more snimatej scene titan Toionlo presen
ted. Prom all parts of the ciry the loyal, (both
reformers and lories,) were collecting together, to
receive arms ami to concert measures for the de
fence of their wives, their children and therr sa
cred homes against an infuriated and (vicious rab
ble, led on by a had, (designing and disappointed
man.
Orders were immediately issued by p.oclama
lion from the Adjutant General's olliee, for the
militia to assemble under their colonels, and a
| call made on all the loyil men to assemble for the
| defence of their “Queen, country, and conelitu
| tion," and nobly was the call responded to. Old
I and young flocked Is the standard of their cotta
• tty, by hundreds, rvleamboats were sent off to
Hamilton and Niagara for militia and volunteers
—the Hon. Speaker McNair, afterward the com
mander, left liamillnn at the head of about 200
volunteers, on board the steamboat Burlington
on Wednesday morning, and Col. Chisholm,
with as many militia,' a few hours alter in a
schooner.
Messrs. Hamilton, Clarke, Gilkrnson, and Capt.
Whitney, as a Jrputatoti from the govomor, ar
rived at Niagara at 7 o clock on Wednesday
morning and left again at 12, with 95 volunteers,
under tho commal l of Sheriff Hamilton, accotn-
Milled by Daniel McUougal, Esq late of the (me.
They arrived almost at the tamo lints with the
men ofUoee, amid the cheers of the assembled
thousands trsm ths wharves. They marched up
lin front of tbs City Mall, wet* reviewed, and
numbed ft* the I‘a.fenu till uA/t 8S «• *;• > \
received t’o if arm. e..d ercoutreiucu s. and
round* ot ainniuiiitun eeeh. .... . ,
Compenie* of men from Oakville, \V hilly. ,
S.erhonmgh, and other neighboring t-wna, »w«
continually airi.ing, and, on Thursday utormuS
nowaid Id (our thousand stand <>f aims had been
gi.en out. The troop* intended to go in search .
of die rebels, and, c insisting of about 2 000 men,
having all been mar-hulled, and reviewed by the j
goveror, were led out, about ten o’clock, by him j
,11 parson, up Yonge street, where, it vvai sen , .
the rebels, in force, were waiting for ua, and w.th
whom wc como up, at about 12 oMoik, at Mont
gomery's tavern, their head quarters.
They there appeared to be in considerable
numliers, amounting to bet wren five and seven
hundred men; but from their ill chosen position
it was soon evident they could not make any ef
fectual resistance; and upon several shots being
fired upon them from two small brass field
pieces, they left the hou-e and the road—a part
of them taking up a position in the woods on
our left, the ollurs relicating ba it and to our
right.
Our first company, consisting of old aoldiers,
were immediately sent to dislodge the enemy
font the wood, which they did, in gallant style,
in about fifteen minutes, killing about thirty, sad
wounding and taking prisoners a proportiona
ble number. We followed them sheet two miles
-*-bul Mackenzie and a greater number of his
party got off by scattering and takin; to the
wood-; and from our want of a sufficient number
of cavalry, it was thought useless to follow them,
they being completely, and, for Ihc peace of
society, it is Isl he hoped, effectually routed. Wo
were ordered back to the city, where we arrived
about 5 o’clock, amid the warm congratulations
and joyful acclamation of the population, who
consider themselves now free from any farther
molestation from Mr. Mackenzie,and hia murder
ous and lawless gang.
The Niagara volunteers, (of which I wa* one,)
having left homo, many of them without an
hour’s warning, and quite unprovided in purse or
otherwise, and alarmed for the safety ol their own
homes, (for among other reports, it was said two
hundred men were coining from Buffalo to take
the place, desired and obtained leave from his
Excellency to return, which they did, per Trans
it, ol yesterday morning, greeted by their friends
a. d several hundred of the militia; who were
preparing to leave with the S. B. Brillannia, to
join them.
I need only farther add, that this movement
made by McKenzie, m the present situation of
the province, is considered by all parties as a mad
attempt and that McKenzie mustjhave beCh to a
certain extent, deranged, or with his acknowled
ged shrewdness he could not but hate foreseen
the fatal (erminalion of his foolish attempt le
overturn the government, as it is supported by
the greater number, and possessed ©I most effect
ual means to put down sedition in any part of the
province.
i.ong have McKenzie and a few such men as
are to bo found in any community, agitated and
disturbed the counliy, and complained of grievan
ces which nobody saw or felt, and even enlisted
the general sympathy of tho people of the United
States, by praising their government and the ex
cellency ot their institutions, (which nobody will
deny,) holding our government up to scorn as op
pressive, and raising the cry of Liberty ! Liberty !
But 1 I'ust bis deeds for the last few days will
withdraw the veil that has blindvd people’s eyes,
and discover him in his proper colors.
What more liberty do we want in Canada as a
British province 1 But if we want mote, heaven
preserve us from such liberty as we should gain
by cold blooded murder —(Col. Moodie waa mur
dered last Monday, in cold blood, because he re
fused, it is said, to lead on the insurgents)—or by
burning s«r houses, robbing the mail and individ
uals, and such ot..e* llf*e actions a- McKenzie and
his parly have been guilty ol‘
P. S. Every thing was quiet when I left To
ronto, except the hustle caused by the continued
aitival of militia and volunteers, who were hailed
with pleasure not that they wete expected to be
needed, but because of the loyally and attachment
to the government, their ready offer of assistance
i evinced.
