'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 toon discover that a white tenant will be cheaper Lpd more profitable to them than a black servant, *n i will follow the example of their northern breth ren, send them to Texas, or some other country, *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 dants —and I have no doubt but those 1101 them members that heretofoic voted in favor of the abo lition petitions, but turned this session and voted Igainst them, saw this, and therelorc changed their purse, and have, like Martin Van Buren, become f; or them men with Southern principles. Poor men •{Georgia, one of your brethren now addresses you And entreats you to recollect that on the first Mon lav in November you will hold the power in your Iwn hands. You are, therefore, in making up your 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 of many waters, say iug to old Tippecanoe, in the language of the Romans, leave your plough, and tome to ftie helm of our beloved government; and may he who rides upon the stormy cloud, and man ias the seas grant you good speed, is the sincere prayer of WILLIAM MOSELEY. 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. Meeting in Columbia County.
