Will limy do this 100 when the t; iv riiuieot of the country has removed the od urn of demand ng specie by doing the as.no thing itself. Tnal ilie demand of «pec\- by ihcUovornmei.l wi 1 prolra l indefinitely itie period of a return lo specie payments, I dure sum no intelligent man who doubts. II .w rece dly Inis it been that the opposi tion piny from one end ol the Union lo the teller, with entire nnamin ty, asserted that lire I’rea-.try C.fcn'ar was the groat cause ol the suspension. It that was tne; if ms prn i l nl great coiillJeoco, and with a hunk piper wiln as large a metallic basis os at any foimor period, this demand for a portion oi the Government dues in specie produced lint result, how can the present slate <d tilings 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 e-dves connexion ufsuch fatal lenJenc.es.— i What sort of a fncud would he be who I should see out) whom tl was Ins duty U< guard, j rssaeia’ing with gamblers and | r flija.es who i were sending him to cciiain infamy and ruin, ' and win) should make no effort lo tear him away, but should wait until with shattered Jiualth, broken fortune, and infamy of charac ter, bis young friend should be arrested in hia career by chaiicoor Providence! Let us examine a little further what will he lh>; practical Hleci* ot this demand of specie. Unless specie la hotter than b ink paper, there is m reason for the discrimination —if it is belter, that ncifish prmcip'e winch ia a uni versal law of our nature, will mike every ! man require it. The-bdl hold ra will demand j it of the bank-, the banks in return will de- , i,i,nd it of their debtors. Toe estimated a mount of e|»ccn; (greatly overrated I have no doubt) exclusive “filial held by the banks, is 1 thirty millions. The indebtedness to the hanks tossy nothing of that of individual to mdivt- j dual, is about so ;r hundred millions. Force! upon the banks an extremity in which they | will have to demand their dents in specie,and such a wide wasting ruin ha* never before de solated '.he earth.

That the real purpose is neither more nor leas than tins absurdity, denounced i by the Reformer of the third ot August last, as I ‘-a government currency of specie and a mrr nautili) currency of paper, which ail experi ence had shown could nut exist at the same ! time in the same community,” f propose to , show. And thst every single man who has written or spoken on the subject, conteni 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 is an eventful crisis In our history, and it ro mans lo bo decided whether tho people can j b.; ma le the dopes of tins monstrous scheme of ambition, covered over by the pretence of going hack to a specie currency.

Ve would he dupe* amt victim-,mid ye are.' May the honest devotees of a hard currency, ■ 'the Working men's society,'and all others who I are opposed to the banking sys ein,it| ou what | ever principles, take warning from these vol untary victims of scaring imimsture and avoid ■ I their fate. They here behold llietr fate accu j raiely prefigured, if they do not rise up and j insist the scheme of imposture which I have ; 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 Virginia, who certainly made the speech of < most ability 0:1 that side, to 1)1? House of Re- I presentatives, lakes the same grounds. Four : tiillis of Ins speech is an argument against U a denunciation of the banking system. I come now, with infinite pa n, to another !

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.

At about the same lime a farmer came to the same judicious resolution, after being in jail 7 months lor resist ing payment.

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. > I remain, millemcn, your obedient servant, t ANGUS M’LEOD. i STILT.
