From the Washington Globe of July Isi 1834.
Gold Currency. —The great bills have passed. The triumphant measure
is adopted. Gold, the cherished currency of ail nations —a currency bams e
/A 1 ” from the United Slates for a whole generation by the power of bank legi-ia
//’-f -Yv tion —this precious currrency once more appears in our land, and, in delianci
t\ of bank power will diffuse and spread itself throughout the country, an e
If' c VaggaSy come the familiar inmate of every industrious man’s pocket. Such is one ot
I; the furt fruits of the great measure of removing the deposucs, and rousing a
\V * * *// continent to its energies aga.nst the oppressions of a lawless and gigantic
W? tr// moneyed power. What, now, has become ot all those predictions that tne
2 fjy currency would be ruined—that there would be nothing but broken bank notes
to be seen in the land ? The new law is to take effect on the 31st instant;
but alrcadv gold is in circulation— already the rare and precious metal is jingling in the pockets and
glittering'in "the hands of the people—already many travellers have supplied themselves with it, and
will be able to traverse the country without the danger of receiving or humiliation of ollermg to pa-»
the counterfeit imitations of a wretched paper currency. , t hv fall it will
Thorn is but little gold now in the country —perhaps a million and a half of dollur* , but by fall it v u
be coming in plentifully, and will begin to have a sensible influence on the general currency'. Ihe
c reat West and ail the new States, will feel the golden shower. Emigrants and purchasers of public
Pam’- w : ll carry ‘mid to the West, and to the Land Offices ; and of these rich accumulations tne gieatei
diffuse itself among the people in the expenditure! of the emigrants and oisburscrncnt
of the people. (Ui’No doubt effectual measures will be taken to prevent local bank notes to be ois
horded for the 'Government when gold has been received. • ,
Let the country rejoice. There is no longer a plea for Federal Bank Notes ! Gold is a good enough
national currency for the Republicans of the United States !
We shall soon have at abundant circulation. Our native mines are yielding two or three millions
ner annum. Commerce will bring it Horn all quarters. England coined twenty-eight millions ol pounds
sterling of gold in mx vears after she reformed her currency in 1832. Fiance has coined one hum.red
and ninety-five millions of gold since Bounaparte reformed her currency in 1803. England also coined
forty millions of silver from 1822 to 1828; and France has coined four hundred and ninety-nine mnl
ons of dollars in silver since Bonaparte banished paper money'. With the aid of foreign corns, and the
rouble rawer of the new mint of the United States, we shall scon abound xn gold. Such is the first Iruit
of the victorious issue of the great contest with the Bank, growing out of the removal of the deposites.
AND THEN ON THIS.
Fellow-citizens! take a long look at the beau- ;
ty ! Above you have a specimen of the Gold
Currency which was promised in 1834, below it
you have a correct representation of the Paper
Currency which it issued in 1840 by the junto
who made the promises in 1834. It is not mere
ly a Paper Currency, but a Government Paper,
like the old C ontinental, or the Assignats of the
French Revolution ; not merely Paper issued
without a specie basis or any other tangible basis,
but absolutely irredeemable Paper; Post Notes
payable one year alter date, like those «f the
Pennsylvania Mammoth or ony other hard-run
Corporation; Shinplasters precisely similar in
principle and character with those issued by
tavern keepers, speculators and Insolvent Banks
in the worst stages of curr icy derangement. It is
just what ail authorities on the subject have united
to pronounce the most objectionable, vicious and
dangerous issue of paper money. It is the natu
ral consummation of an experiment begun in I
ignorance, recklessness and malice, continued in
iniquity and as a ladder of unchastened ambition;
bolstered up by swindling promises and delusive i
prospects never intended to be realized, and end
ing in bankruptcy, misery and ruin.
Fellow-citizens’ take another glance at the
beauty ! Wherein does it differ from a Bank
The Homage of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the All
owing disinterested testimonials, which w T ere com
manded from their several authors by the lolly pa
triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which parly rnalignitymay now
presume to idrge against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and w hich we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and of Kentucky
James Madison, Jas. Monroe, Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon Sny
der, Gov. Shelby, Corn. Perry, Cot. Croghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill, John M.
Niles and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the Uni’ed States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Oft he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history ofihe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ot his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o her General officer; he was, per
haps, oitener in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which look
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline .”
James Madison in bis Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the States of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks, not fess distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
In .Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as fallows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thinher, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with I heir savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal* d in tfie capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared.”
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers w ho
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

t Note, except in not being payable en demand 1
Wherein does it differ from the Post Note of a
Bank which has suspended specie payments 1
Mark the general style of the thing, (which oxtr
engraver has imitated to the life,) see how all
except the ‘one year after date,’ ‘ order,’and
‘with interest at the rate of two per centum,’ —
in short, all but the shinplaster features—are
those of a Bank Note. The man to whom it is
given writes his name on the back, and then it
passes from him to any body who will buy or
or take it, just like any other paper money.
The ‘ two’ between 4 interest at the rate of’ and
‘per centum,’ is left blank in the engraving,
and writtens in when (he note come to be filled
up. Thus the Government pays its debt
ors as it pleases—the favorites in Gold ; others
in promises to pay next year, at such rate of in
terest as it pleases to name. It may give a loyal
supporter five per cent, and turn off a stiff-necked
‘ Bank Whig t wfith two, just byway of carrying
out ‘ My feeble efforts to improve the Currency.’
It is all jockeying from beginning to end.
| It must not be forgotten that the original au
thors of the Experiment are ashamed and profess
to be opposed to these graceless issues. Gen.

“ I make free to declare, that I have imagined
there were tw o military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of ihe two.”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ol the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislai ore of Indiana, on the 12th Noy.
1811, the 8 peaker of tiie House of Kepresenlatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate ihe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of ihe late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, nos. only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, w ithhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By ihe Senate and House of Repre
talivesofthe Slate ot Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that for bis cool, delib
erate, skillid and gallant conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nalion.
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of Ins san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by comtnunica
ling my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
viclory.”

Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
senlalives of the United Slates of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby', presented to Gen
eral VVfiliarn Henry Harrisot. and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. ot Kentucky, and through them, to the of

From the Globe of July 16/A 1834.
The Gold Currency. —While every part of America rejoices while eV
ery hesit not enslaved to the scrub-ai is toe racy of the paper system while
every independent and patriotic citizen exults in the rcc very and restora
tion of the long lost gold currency —the West, and the Western citzens,
have the deepest and greatest cause for proud exultation and manly rejoic- jjl~d
ing at this propitious event; for, of all America, the West is the part which
needed most and will profit most from the circulation of gold. Happily, they
have Lftttfew banks in the West, and therefore need gold to carry about and
to travel updfi. Happily again ttie greatest supply will go to the \\ est. Ihe
emigrants removing to that great YegiPn will all carry gold in preference to
either silver or paper, for it is lighter than silver and safer than paper, 'i he
Land oflices wiil become receptacles re orvoirs of gold, whence it will be distributed to the
country, through the tiovernmcnt disbursements, through the Military, the Surveying, and the Indian
Department; and wo to the oflicer who having received gold from the Government, shall presume or
dare to offer paper to the soldier or citizen ! Then a great stream of gold will flow up the Mis
sissippi FROM New ( RLEANS, AND DIFFUSE ITSELF ALL OVER THE GREAT W ESt. Nearly all the gCld
coinage of the new world will come to the United States; foi all the coinage of the New Gov
ernments of Mexico and South America being the coinage of rebel province cannot go to Spain,
or any other of her dependences, and, therefore, will come to the I nited States as itsbest mark
et. This will fill ihe West with doubloons and half joes ; and in eight or nine months from
this time every substantial citizen will have a long silken purse of fine open net-spark, through the
interstices of which the yellow gold will shine and glitter. Then travellers will be free from the pe- tilence
of ragged, filthy and counterfeit notes. Every substantial man, and every substantial man’s wife and
daughter, will travel upon gold. The satellites of the Bank alone, to show their servile subjection to
their liege tr.onaich, will repine at the loss of paper.
From the Globe of August 14 th 1534.
Jackson Gold. —We have had the pleasure to see some of the new gold coinage of half eagles, and
seldom have we beheld a more beautiful coin. It is devoutly to be hoped that the mint may be able
to supply ail the pressing demands for it, and that every independent citizen may' obtain a few pieces
jto carry anß preserve as a charm against the sorceries ol the mammoth. We understand that from
l 20,000 to 25,000 a day can be struck off. The promptitude of the Treasury and the mint on the sub
j ject will be duly appreciate J by the public.
Benton gave notice, more than a year since, that
he should feel bound to oppose any further issue,
and accordingly voted against the Treasury Note
Bill of last Session, though he said nothing.
The thing is too barefaced for the most brasen
Professor of Humbug.
And be it remembered that there is no possible
necessity for this Post Note issue. By the gen
eral depression and derangement of business
there is left a large amountof money in the hands
of timid men, cautious capitalists, &c., who will
not lend or invest it on w hat they esteem doubt
ful security—so they hoard it, and it is lost to
usefulness. These men would gladly lend it to
the Government at five per cent. A Govern
ment loan of Five Millions would be filled in a
week. And at the Itrst Session, the W hig Mem
bers of Congress constantly represented to the
Administration men—“We cannot vote to issue
Post Notes, but we know you want money to
get along with, and we will interpose no obsta
cle, Make your Bill a Loan Bill—borrow the
money you want honestly and frankly, and we
will neither speak nor vote against it.” But No !
Messrs. Jones, Vanderpoel, Pickens, Silas
Wright & Co , had their instructions from the
White House, and they would listen to no argu

Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who hadproved him
self lo he wise, piiident and brave.”
Commodore Perry lo General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change mace by you in the order of
battle on discovering ihe position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 Cone If with
venethe rable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ r I he victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured lo a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors oj a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”
Sentiments ot the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*' 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense ol General Harrison.
“ 1 l ,av e Kit ihe warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feci every assurance that
he will at ail times do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he lies hither
to done* tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, i shall not hesitate to
unite with tne army in bestowing upon mm tnat
conjidcnre which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojuslice to the man who
was too modest io be just to himself.”
from Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“ VVe have suffered greatly for the w ant of pro
visions, and the w'hole array has subsisted, forthe
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”

observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves lo the will ot a master.”

“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said ;
“ What man li\ cs, wffiose whole heart and soul is
. not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
i victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel
‘ a * n va^or ant l patriotism of the heroes of
[ the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country—be possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
i . M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
I" I*’ B life of Perry published in
alter giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said ;
, “ The defence of Fort Meigs, ana the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider-
have Treasury Notes and nothing but Treasury
Notes; and because the Whigs strenuously re- (
sisted the issue of this Irredeemable Currency,
they falsely accused them of wishing to block !
the wheels of the Government. <
Now, Fellow Citizens, we do not doubt these i
Post Notes will he all redeemed according to <
promise ; for the man who will be President next 1
year will straighten the business out like a work
man. We trust there will be Prosperity, active c
Business, thriving Agriculture, Manufactures and
Commerce; more money going into the Treas
ury and less coming out of it than there now is. j
—lt is possible, too, that these Notes help to
modify the hardness of the times by increasing
the amount of the Circulating Medium. They
may facilitate Exchanges, help Prices, and per
form some of the functions of the notes of a '
National Bank. But all the lime they are no less
Irredeemable Paper of the very worst and most
objectionable kind, and their issue is a flagrant
violation of all those principles behind which Lo-
Co-Focoism has professed to entrench itself these ,
ten years. They show those professions—so far
as the President and his counsellors are concern
ed, to be a fraud, a trick, a delusion. Fellow-citi

it the knavery and deceitfulnessof Van Burenism!

In alluding to the battle of (he Thames, he said :

great honor upon (he national arms , and upon the
troops hy whom it was achieved.
** The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimor.y of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char- <
aclisiics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“There are perhaps on record few instances of \
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; t lie discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers,” 1
