'he vote in your favor by which he laid down
j?j s political life for you, where was Mr. Van Huron?
__V) V his side, acting a sim'lar part ? No—not he.
But 1 will tel! you where he was a while before,
?n d what he was doing. lie was in the Senate of
York instructing her Senator* and Represen
tative* to vote against the reception of Missouri in
to the Union unless she would strike Slavery from
her constitution.
But what has been Mr. Van Buren’* general
course in a political point of view ? He was against
and for the war —he was against and for James
iDdison —he was for and against De Witt Clinton
—he was for and against the Tariff- —he was against
and for Jackson —and now as the nominee of (Jen.
Jackson, stands pledged to tread in his stops. But
has he done it ? If yea, why the difference in the
Condition of the country ? What has he promised
you ? I’ c has promised a sound currency and your
pockets filled with gold and silver —and you get pa
per, whi’.C ghe and his office-holders get the gold
and silver; and such has been the fact, and you
know it, that instead of a sound currency, necessi
ty has compelled poi sons to issue shin-plasters,and
you to receive them and glad to get them,notwith
standing it is a violation of law', lie promised re
trenchment and an economical administration of the
government, and you have witnessed extravagance
and the creation of a public debt, which he says will
take live rniilions of dollars in Treasury notes to
pay. He promised a sound currency, and prosperi
ty- as the result, and you have witnessed an entire
derangement of our currency, commerce seriously
affected, our credit sunk, the people in debt, the
price of produce prostrated, the value of property
reduced one-half and still going dow r n —the banks
with a few exceptions, turned brokers, and you
placed in the power of a few moneyed men, with
out the means to extricate yourselves. You alrea
dy hear the sheriff and bailiff crying O yes ! O yes I
fellow-citizens, poor men, was it so before ? If
pot, it is evident the unwise course of the present
Administration has been the first cause; and if a
Hew years has produced such a change, what will
Ifour more do ? I will tell you—pass two-thirds of
hour real estates under the sheriff's hammer, and
Into the hands of a few moneyed men, who will

Lpd more profitable to them than a black servant,

*nd increase their capital, and you and your chil
dren w r ill become hewers of wood and drawers of
water to a. few rich men and their haughty descen

members that heretofoic voted in favor of the abo

Igainst them, saw this, and therelorc changed their
purse, and have, like Martin Van Buren, become

And entreats you to recollect that on the first Mon

mind, either forging the chain to bind you and your
posterity, or nerving your arm to burst it asunder,
■pray you, then, in the name of all that is sacred
and dear to you, to rouse from your slumbers; break
the spell; and let youi united voice be as the sound

may he who rides upon the stormy cloud, and man

I Henry county, June 9th, 1840.
A Committee of the U. S. Senate in 1829-30
mde a Report on the Currency. It is worth
frhile to refer back to it so that we may see what
rind of a currency it was which the Administra
lon party undertook to improve. The Report
pas made by Jackson men, and they spoke, no
loubt from full knowledge of what they are dis
bursing about. After speaking of the local or
State Barfkcurrency, the Committee say :
I “There is, however, superaded to this currency
I gcneial currency more known, more trusted,
Ind more valuable than the local currency, which
|b employed in the exchanges between different
larts of the country. These are the notes of a
National Bank. These notes are receivable for
pe Government by the 9,000 receivers scattered
Loughout every part of the country. They are,
In fact in the course of business, paid in gold
fr silver, though they are not legally or necessa
uly so paid by the branches of the bank in
Very section of the Union. In all commercial
•laces they are received, in all transactions, with
out any reduction in value, and never, under any
ircumstances, does the paper, from the remotes
■ranches, vary beyond a quarter of one per cent,
ib its actual exchange for siher. Here, then, is
I currency as safe as silver— more convenient and
•ore valuable than silver—which, through the
■hole Western and Southern and interior parts
If the Union, is eagerly sought in exchange for
fiver ; which, in those sections, often bears a
•eraium paid in silver, which is, throughout the
■ nion, equal to silver in payments to individuals
• business, and which, whenever silver is need
id in any part of the country, will command it
Without the charge of the slightest fraction of a
per cenfage. By means of this currency funds
»e trasmitted at an expense less than in any oth-
BT country. Jin no other country can a merchant
|o what evefy citizen of the United States can
fe—deposite, for instance, his silver at St. Louis,
ft* Nashville, or New Orleans, and receive notes
ihich he can carry with him 1,000 or 1,500 miles,
I the Atlantic cities, and their receive for them an
iquivolent amount of silver without any expense
lhatever and in no possible event and expense
peyond a quarter of one percent. If, however,
I citizen does not wish to incur the anxiety of
carrying these with him, or to run the hazard of
#ic mail, he may, instead of them, receive a draft
payable to himself or his agent alone, so as to en
lure the receipt of an equal amount, at an expense
|f not one half, and often not one fouith, of the
•f the actual ebst of carrying the silver. The
•wncr of funds, for instance, at St. Louis or Nash
ville can transfer them to Philadelphia for one
lalfpercent; from New Orleans generally with
lut any charge at all, at most one-half per cent;
loin Mobile from par to onc-half per cent; from
iavannah at one-half per cent; and from Char
leston at from par to one-quarter per cent.”
I The following views in rega.d to the practical
■fleets of the Sub-Treasury Act, are published
>y the New York Ex press—
| We have refrained from making any remarks
in the Sub-Treasury until the same appeared in
ifficial shape. We have now published it and
rad it wjjh care—we find it much stronger and
nore objectionably than we had previously gup
loscd. The principal provision of the bill gives
he appointment of the officers exclusively to the
J r&ident by and with the consent of the Senate.
Riey are to be appointed for seven years—unless
ijjoner removed. They are to give such securi
fas the Treasury thinks sufficient. The Secrc
ary of the Treasury has the power to draw all
nonies from one place to another, at his will and
ileasure.—ln fact, the whole revenues of the coun
ry are under to control of the President or his
Secretary. If there are thirty millions or any
ither sum lying at New York, it can be ordered
it an hour’s notice to Charleston, Boston, New
Orleans, or any other point; it may be shifted
bm day to-day to suit the whim or caprice of
he So long as the Government are in
lebt, and have no money on hand, the country
lannot feel any serious effects ; but should it be
i season of prosperity, and the Government
►ossesed of thirty or forty milbons, it would un
luestionably break any bank or a large por ion
it them. Fortunately the receipts into the Trca
(Ury by this Law are to be paid—
kfter 30th June, 1840,’ in specie, £ in specie bills.
“ 30th “ 1841 ,5 in specie, Ain specie bills.
“ 30th " 1842, }in specie, in specie bills.
“ 30th “ 1843,a1l specie.
This coming ydhr, the payments, it will be seen,
f orn land, and anything else, are to be
hree-fourths specie bills. The operation of the
baw will not be felt till June, 1843, although
| next year, and the year after, it w ill be nearly so.
If after 1843, the Government should be rich,
there is nothing to prevent them accumulating
’ and hoarding up all, or nearly all the specie of
the country. The credit system must inevitable
come to an end. Banks would be called on for
> every dollar they possess, and in turn, would be
compelled to call in every debt they have out. It
I is impossible to predict what the operations of the
Law will be, but to our feeble judgement, it must
be most fatal to the commercial and mercantile
concerns of the community.
Anthracite rails. The editor of Miners’
Journal states that the anthracite cast iron rail
road laid down in that borough has been thorough
ly tried for the lasi two months, and not a single
rail has been broken as yet, nor have any repairs
been required. There is greater elasticity in the
rails than was expected by the most sanguine.
Cast iron rail roads (the Journal adds) will soon
supresede all the wooden roads in that region, on
which horse power alone is used.
