est. With this powerful auxilary a /
man will tread thj paths of’ life with-1
out meeting with obstacles. The ■
gaol which he strives to reach will be!
unobstructed before him, and, with;
the help of a modicum of industry, it 1
may be easily attained. His moral ;
character, if not decidedly bad, will ;
present no obstacle to his progress;
and as for his intellectual powers, j
they will be but little regarded in j
these days; if they are weak, impu-j
deuce will nobly supply their place. l .
Without an abundant stock of this,
highly-prized and necessary ingrcdi-;
ent, a man, whatever may bo his i
mental or moral qualifications, is i
destined to pass his life in obscurity
—to be little known and less respec
ted—to meet with disappointment if
he looks forward to that distinction
which was once wont to attend a un
ion of tallent and worth.
If he is a mechanic and destitute
of fortune and friends, with a tolera
ble stock of impudence, he need not
despair. 'This quality wul fiind him
friends, and procure him abundance
of employment. If he is a trader, or
merchant and relies principally up
on modest merit fur success, he will
find many a lion in his path, his course
through life will be all the way up hill,
and if success should at lastci own his
efforts, which can hardly be expect
ed, it will be in consequence of a de
gree of perservance and industry
which is seldom But if
he is blessed with impudence, the
work is easy; he finds this attribute
the‘o/c to credit and re-
nown. With the professional man
impudence is not only a powerful a I
junct, but is absolutely necessary to
success. No one can reasonably ex
pect to take a high stand in his pro
fession, whatever may be his learn-
ing, his judgement, or his virtues, if
he is lacking in impudence; or, as a
phrenologist would say, if there is a
deficiency in self-esteem, and a large
devclopcmcnt of reverence. It a
man seeks an elhgible situation, ci
ther of profit or honor, in the gid of
an individual, a corporation, or o-t
government, ho is doomed to disap
point unless impudence assists him,
which he will often find a more val
uable aid than the most zealous and
powerful friends. And it he seeks
an oflicc from the people, without a
good share of impudence, his fate
. must be disappointment. To strive
to gain popular favor, without the aid
of impudence, is indeed “kicking a
gainst the pricks.”
We find in the present age that
impudence will command success in
every employment of life. If we
look around us, and examine the
workshop, the counting room, the
study, the studio, the bar, the pulpit,
the rostrum, or offices of trust, profit,
or honor, we shall at once be convin
ced of the wo.ideriul influence which
impudence exercises over the desti
nies of man. If we examine our
friends, ouracqiinintanccs,ourtowns
mcn, we shall find that many who
have figured largely in the busy
world, and have been successful in
achieving fortune or fame, are under
infinitely greater obligations to impu
dence, which will never leave its vo
taries in the lurch, than to talent or
intrinsic worth. A man destitute of
credentials, cast among strangers,
without a farthing in his pockets, if
blessed with a respectable endow
ment of impupence, wdl seldom be
at a loss; while on the outlier hand
modes iy is regarded, in such cireum
vunistances, as pri m a faci evidence
of RASCALITY.
Impudence, so far from being
checked k. restrained inearlv vouth,
should be encouraged, if we seek
to promote the worldly welfare of
our children. Self-esteem should
be excited, and reverence paralis
ed, it possible, if we wish them to
make their way through the world
without difficulty; & doubtless those
instructors of youth who endeavor to
impress on the minds of their pupils
the propriety of a modest demeanor,
are deserving of severe reprehen
sion. H hat man who is w. II ac
quainted with the character of man
at the present day. would wish, his
children to be educated in such false
principles? I'o s< nd a vouth from
his homcor his with a mod-
cst, gentle, unassuming demeanor, J
to struggle mi the great arena of life 1
with his fellow men, is l.ke doom- (

Pressures or 1819 —1825 —1833
j »837. —'The following article from
jthe North Carolina Juornal of April j
;27th, recalls facts which every dem-i
jocrat paper ought to place before;
■the eyes oi his readers. ;
i It is now vociferated by the bank,
i whigs that the Treasury order has;
i made the distress ol 1837, and that
! nothing can relieve the distress but
'the recharter of the Bank of the U.
Ntates.
The article from the Norrh Caro
lina Journal shows that we have four
of these pressures during the exis
tence yf that Bank, and that so far
from preventing, it has been the
main cause of each and every one of
them.
That Bank was chartered in 1816
and by its expansions it made the
disastrous convulsions & destruction
of banks* and property in 1819.
. By its connection with the Bank
of England it involved commerce in
the lalco the English banks in 1825
when another distress and preasure
came on.
In 1833 it made the panic and
preasure on purpose to scout age the
coutry into submission, and to com
pel the restoration of thd deposites
and the renewal oi' its charter.
The preasuie of 1837 is the fruit
of reckless adventure and gambling
adventure, hatched into existence
by the enormous exptusion of the
loans ami the circulation of that bank
in 1835.
Fads prove that the. Bank of the
United N'tates is the main cause of
the four preasures ttiat we have had
since she was chartered; but to those
who vocifiate for her re-establish
ment as a means of preventing these
pressuies, it is sufficient to recall
the memory of the fact, that we have
had four of these preassures during
Iter existence!
J > We count the Bank of the
United Mates as being still in exis
tence, for the Pennsylvania law con
tinues her as fully as ever, and Mr.
■iddle declared al the acceptance of
that charter that the bank tua.s stron
ger than ever! *S'uch was his own
declaration and we all know that it is
more wished than ever, and more fa
tally bent upon scouring the country
until it submits. W e look for worse!
doings from her for the next thirty!
years than we have had for the last
twenty, she lias made four preasures |
in tin* last twenty years, which ave-i
rages otie to every five years; they!
will probably now be accelerated, &.(
made every four years to suit the;
Presi lential elections, or even every j
tine<? years to allow the country no,
rest. In fact the pi esent preasure is
on the three years’ system, the last
one having been commenced by Bid-,
die and his panic orators in the sen- !
ate in December, I 533, & the same!
hands having commenced this one :
in the same senate in December last.

they looked firm this morning, has closed
heavily.
There have not been any very extensive fail
ures to day; one or two have, however, been
named, but the liabilities are not very heavy.
There has been rather more doing in the '
bonds of the United States, and some of those
which were in the first instance, remitted to
France, are now finding their way in this ,
market. There are parties who consider
these securities as very eligible investments ;
and some of ihe le'ters from Manchester and
Liverpool, esteem their importation into this
country as a complete God send. There is
lint little doubt that the circulation of these |
bonds wdl temporarily relieve ihe traders be
tween this countr , and the United Stalos ! but ■
whether speculatioin in them is not equally as
gambling m char >cter as that of dealing in un
paid Spanish or other foreign bond- - , becomes
another question. I'he bonds of the United
States bank have been dime at 94 3 4 a 95;
and Morris’s bank bonds al 98 1-2 The
accounts from the manufacturing districts are
rather more favorable, and we trust that they
will so continue ; but ihe condmon of many
of the laboring classes continues to be very
I distressing.
j London, May 4, (Evening/ —It has been
j stated, with a great degree of confidence, to
'day that one of the oldest firms in the Amen*
l ean trade yesterday made a second application
?to the bank direction for assistance, and that
it was followed up by similar applications from
other firms which, though respectable, were
not exactly of the same standing. Looking,
at the extensive engagements which the
bink direction has already entered into not
only on account of firms engaged in the
American but the East India trade, it cannot
be denied th it the renewal of these ap
plications have plact d the bank directors in a
! very difficult and delicate position.
; From the London .Morning Herald, of the 6lh.
City Friday Evening, May 5. Greater
ghnm was exhibited upon the Royal ■ x
change lodiy than during the previous course
of this week, and it cannot now be denied
that the reduced value of produce of ail kinds,
i and the temporary embarrassmen's ih which
the American merchants, as well as those
j trading vvnh East Indies and China, have
I been placed, has crea ed an anxiety that has
' not ye; been diminished by any outward ap
pearance. Considerable attention has been
dra w n to the tr insertions of the Bank of Eng
land, but the negoci at ions in which that corpo
ration has been engaged with firms applying
i lor assistance, has been conducted with the
; greatest secrecy ; never heless it has trans >
1 pirrd that the bank d rectors have resolved to
i support the firm t» which we retried yrsi> rday :
land another of equal standing, throughout this
month* Some other applications are under
i consideration.
It wa- currently reported hero tn day, that
j some of the leading firms connected with the
j India trade were making great exertions to
withdraw <dl paper bearing their signatures;
I from circulation. This measure, if vigorously
carried into effect, will doubtless avert much
evil ; but looking at the slate of the cotirner
I < ial money market in the manufacturing dis ,
j nets in conjunction with thai ft the metrop >-
j Its, very little has transpired this day to allay
tie apprehension which It >s newly arisen.
The lea sales continue, but with sufficient ■
inaction io indicate the little desire tor specu
lalton in that description <d produce. Money
(or commercial purposes has not been so rea- I
dily obtained, but there have been considerable '
iransactiens in bullion. 'Die transactions in
he foreign exchanges have not only been very
. limned, but they have been attended with mm h
i heaviness, and in roost i ns'ames have been

Gt nllemen,
I have had the honor to receive ■
your letter of the 30th ult. inviting!
[myself and staff on behalf of the cit
zens of Mahlonega and its vicinty, to
partake with them in the celebration
of the approaching Kuniversary of
American independence,
The high estimate which you have
been pleased to set upon our hum
ble services in the Cherokee Nation,
fills me with gratitude. That we
have honestly and faithfully laboured
to secure peace to the country and
to accomplish the objects of the late
treaty, I may be permited tosav with
out the charg of vanitp or arrogating
too much to ourselves. How far we '
have been successful must be left to!
the impartial judgement of our coun-1
trymen. To that I shall always,
most cheerfully submit. That our I
efforts have met with the approba
tion of those, who are so deeply in
terested as yourselves and so capa
ble of forming a correct opinion, in
courages me with the hope, that,
that judgement will not be unfavoura
ble.
I accept your kind invitation with
great pleasure, and will be present
at the time, unless something should
occur to prevent it, which I can now,
neither foresee nor anticipate.
I tender to you gentlemen individ
ually and through you to the citizens
you represent, my kindest regard.
