MR. VAN BUREN.
The following is on address to Irishmen which
appears In tlw Globe under 1 ho signuiure of Grattan*
■'Harrison is proud, arrogant, an I presumpinou*;
with him weultli is everything. and poverty h crime.
On tlw contrary, Mr. Vun Buren is modest, plain,
nnd unpretending; estimating hi* fellow citizen* not
for his wealth, (mine to-day und Sliylock’s to-mor
row) but fur his virtues. He is nmphnticoily the
poor mint's friend—his sympathies are with Inin.—
I rejoice exceedingly that l Iihvu it in my power
to present to my countrymen n case perfectly in
in pidm and above all, proof pregnant of Mr. Van
Buren’* good fueling to Iiihmen. About two years
since a vocat.cy of 2d Lieutenant occurted in the
nvirinecorp*. There were several nnplfeant* for
the appointment) somowero supported by Cungres-
aional inflsence—others hacked by powerful connec
tion*. Among the number wa* on Irishman, who
had, by a course of good conduct, by his intelligence
nnd attention to his duties as a soldier, gradually
risen in the corps, to the post ofseijuant major.
His expectations of success, you may be sure,
were not very sanguine; lie had prejudices to sur
mount, his Irish birth, ho imagined, might be an oh
jection—there he was mistaken. Hispodtfonin iho
corps wn* in fact, with him the principal difficulty.
Tho officers, nlmost to a man, opposed his applica
tion. Services, however meritoriou*. were not, in
their estimation, a sufficient passport to preferment.
Here, then, he had to grapple with the hydra of nr
i slue racy, that is, with thu Federalism of tho offi
cer*. Mark tho consenoenre; one of the officers,
the only democrat. I believe, among them, commu
nicated tlto cirottmstancu to u Virginia gontlemen.
who was supposed to bovo no small influence with
tho President.
This libonl minded gnnllemnn, with true south
ern gonorosity, volunteered his services in behalf of
the Irish sergeant mnjor Feeling indignnnt ut the
aristocratic exclusiveness, which would frown on
humble merit, he immediately repaired to the presi
dent nnd apprised him of the particulars. What
did Mr. Vun Buren do in the matter? Did he
countenance the petulant exclusiveness nf the uffi
cert? Nothej far from It. With nn energy nf
manner quite unusual to him. he instantly took up
- the pen, awl signed the commission forth# Irteh
sergeant mnjor, observing nt tho same time, "that
lie should like to know why foreigners, though hunt
Me, yet possessing merit, may not rise in this coun
iry. as we'l ut in any other."
'The numn of tho Irishman thus honored, is John
6. Devlin,2d lieutentutit of the marine corps, now
stationed at tho uovyyard in Brooklyn. And the
name of tho Virginia gentleman who, unsnlicted,
Idndly interested himself'in behalf of Lieutenant
Devlin, is John C.’ Rives, one oftho proprietors of
the Globe. Well,-my countrymen, there is on in-
•tsaco of Mr. Van Buren’# liberality, aa. honorable
u>-himself it it is complimentary to Irishmen.
O'Cdnnill, the shrewdest man tbit ever existed,
and who is kittling in Ireland ibis moment
with the time intolerant party tint wo hive to
contend with Item, ha* justly and frequently remark
cd "that one fact Is woitb ■ ship load ofargumenU."
Here is a fact for you pn* not nf ■ doten others,
which the writer of this iddresss could adduce, if
neceasiry, and kls testimony will n .t have the Ins
wight, uh*n. be declares, (n eireumsunc# well
known to almost every ^Irishman in Washington,
•leapt dm Irish 0 engemnn,traitor* with wln m he
iwvrr associated) that he is no office holder, never
wm ail uffi holder, tod what is route,nsverintand*
InIm an effiea bolder. Our talented countrywoman
lUaelobratcd lady Morgen, says that "a iron

Forgetful of the curse which is affixed to llio

we so much admire, but must not let thu dear
people know il, f-»r Ogle’s manufactured speeches
will then lie on the shelf neglected, und the great
quiver on which we have dej*nded for our arrow*
of detraction will he despised."
Under the delusive cry fur " better limes'' is a
Bank of ths United States, which the people of
Gourgin Iruve heretofore so strenuously opposed,
sought to be Imposed upon* people, who condemn
ed such an institution when they installed m thu
Chair of the Executive for a second term by un
overwhelming vote that stern old patriot Aeorew
JiCXSOE.
To charter such an Ins'itutlon the Democratic
Republican Forty of this country boliovo would bn
an act violating tho Constitution. They »ru nut
willing to see this sacred Instrument by which ih#
right! uf tho w eaker States ar# prelected from the
encroachment* uf the stronger, *0 moulded and
fashioned by mty political tyro a* to lose its virtue
as a shield of the rights of thu pmplo against the
hydra-hatded monster—liberal construction for the
general welfare.
These wlse-acrea would make Iks dtat people,
whom they would Uk? under thulr aepccial gear.
Junshlp, believe that such an Institution •• ■ Na
tional Bank with it* fifty millions I* n-m-sary l«
gulale the exchange*, as If tlm law# of Iran*
should nut, na they du, even with inch » Bank,
regulate exchanges.
When Bank* fail to accommodate a community
in oachangra, it it mainly owing to those revolutions
in trade, caused by an Inordinate spirit of *|«cula-
tlon, encouraged frequently by their own operations,
leading eventually to suspension.
Look it the position In which the Banks of Phil
adelphia, headed and controlled by tho mammoth
pet of that State- The U. S. Bank of Pennijr/rn-
ate—have placed themselves, by suspension, while
the New York Institution* have manfully continued
the payment nf specie.
The Suvannnh Banks, in our opinion, could do
the same, wre thnt commercial vursalnga to tho
North, purtirulnriy New York, which now cxi.t*.
dissolved, and were the merchant* ul Savannah lo
import amply for their Suite.
U'e have a few home* here, wo ore rejoiced to
state who feel a pro|»or prldu on this sulject, ami
they will find it to their interest, for they can under-
Mil oilier* wli 1 pay an exlru duty to tho importer u«
New York.

monument of Savannah enterprise, will soon bo at
Macon. Tho Forsyth Road will then join hand*
with her, nnd ull wa wunt is n proper energy based
on a lofiy Statu pride to carry the Iron chain to
Tennessee and exhibit Georgia a* tho New York of
the South.
Her commercial importance will thus bo immense
ly increai'-d.
Augment that and who cun nrrest her march, to
politicul greatness.
These are the "better limes" which both par
ties, in our iluy nnd generatinn, should strive to in
troduce, nnd not sit down nnd call upon a National
Bank lo uid them.
Let us regulnto our own institution*. If necessa
ry for lira good of the people of this State, lot our
present Bar k charter* nut lie renewed, when thny
expire. But let u Bunk to ho called—Tho Bunk of
Geurgia, be chartered with abundant capital. Lot
It lie lucated at Savannah, where commerce and the
Interests oftlin peuplo of Georgia demand it should
he. Let branches bu located at all commercial
point* in thu State, and wo venture to predict thut
our ciiizen# will possess a sound und stable currency
which will circulate at par throughout the State.
Such expectations may uot be fully realised until
the expiration of most of tliopre*ont Bank charters,
but when thnt period shill arrive, we feel satisfied
that tire bill* nf our one Bunk in Gem giu, will relievo
the ciiizun from' considerable loss now incurred,
while thu bills of such 11 Bank will, we belinve. even
circulate in other Status, if nut at par, ut a nominal
discount.
Thi# is no sudden Idea of ours, but we hnvechcr
Idled it for years. The churictsof Bunk nfrer Bunk
with their small capital, increase tho Bank paper in
circulation, but do not conduce ton stable currency.
Let us have onu itiMend of many, and tho udvo-
cates of u Nu'ional Bunk will he deprived of their
great hubby.
A bettor feeling will ulso be elicited In favor of
insiitutions of a Stale origin, fur if such nil one can
perform the function* claimed for llio other, we shall
be able to lull thu wild spirit uf party, which would
sucrifine thu sovereign light* uf a Stale totho ambi
tious scheme* uf citizens foreign to her interests.
In our lerunrks wo do not wish to ho understood
at entcrtuitiing nny hostility to ihu Bunks tlm now
exist, for we believe those uf Geurgia have been
mnnuged.ns much for the public weul.nt institutions
with such limited capiial could be. Bur wo desire
tuseep sound nnd uniform currently of our own
independent of u Narioniil Bank, und not controlled
by the operations of foreign institutions. We also
desire to sen n mutual dependence between the sea-
purl of (lie Stale and the cities and towns oftho in
terior promoted by 11 l oner currency.
To confirm some of our views nbovo expressed,
wo relor to tbe following nrticie front the New Yoik
Evening P-*t. We shall continue tho subject of
•better times." In the meantime let our roudeis
peruse thereto-uk* of tire eloquent Butler, in our

The Laws of Trade.—Three months ago, tho
rate of exchange b"tw- eu Mobile nnd this city
wn# at ten per rent, but hn# einre been reduced to
about three per cent. This i* actually Jo s than

batiks "f Pennsylvania are compelled to resume

while the l-nuks of Alubuma are ulimved lime

PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.
Thursday, October 22, 1840.
Council met.—Present, thu Mayor, Aldermen
Lewis, Shaffer, Boston, Dillon.
Aldermen Anderson, Wagner and Hopkins ap
peared and were sworn into office.
The minutes of tho lost meeting were read ond
conffrnted.
The following Report was model
Tho Committee on Public Sate# have considered
the petition of E. O’Byrne. By referring to tho ori
ginal application und the consequent action of the
Bourd, it appears that Mr. O'Byrne war to have
Lot No. 3, New Franklin Word, for n term cf years,
condili-'ti of Ids putting up n brick wall, which
would effectually prevent ihn csvlng of ihe bluff-
A late res-din inn designates the Nurth side os the
place for such wall. The present Committee are
convinrrd that a wall on any other side than thu
North or river side, will never answer. Mr. O'-
Byrne, however, in hi* present application, slates
that lie misapprehended llio former Committee,
nnd further declare* that such a wall as is contrm-
pteted would bo ruinous to ids contract. The Cum
mins* therefore recommend that Mr. O'Byrne l<o
released from hi* contract. They also recommend
that tlte City Marshal be directed to ndvertlso tho
property again, making il a condition, tint thu per
ron leasing shall build » wul| nu lire Nurth sidit uf

The following resolution was offered aud accept-
cd»i a substitute;
try, but greul ingiutliutlo to thu ben-fsetent Provi
dence which Im* given to our puuplo u lot #0 much
superior to thut of other nutiuni. Hu insisx-d that,
with our extended territory, fertile soil, ssluhrioUS
t-iiiuute,uiid grout enterprise, nothingImt isburntnl
fiugulity, along with a fixed policy in the linunciul
system of the Government, were m-cessnry lo secure,
ii: due season, as good limes for oil 'Cla*-c* ofthu
c'.inmiiniiy, n# could bo cxpecied in'liumun affairs.
11* dwelt with uurn*-*tn<'#s on tlieudvantugu* of th#
Independent Treasury system, »* settling tho fund
pol'cy nf iho Government in n manner w. II caculu-
ted tn promote the real und testing interests ofl rude,
and ell the other grout inteiests uf tlto natfon, und
i-spcclolly those interests which were greutostnnd
most imporiuut of all—the interests of liberty ond
m-iruls—both nf which had born endangered nnd
strriously hurt by tho fluctuations in tho currency,
the revulsion in commerce, nnd lh» political collis
ions growing out of the operation* uMliu United
Suites Batik, through which ihu notion had passed
within iliolu-t eight or nine years; nnd ho therefore
concluded thut 11 change of Adminirtraiinn. hnwcv

get into office* of honor or emolument, nr by indi

subject, was not needed by the great mass of the
community; but on the contrary, would bu must in
jurinus to ull clu«ses, und particularly to tkw-c who
are ongugrd In trade, inasmuch as it would un»etlle
what w h« now in a fair way to ho permanent, and
would revive tho fatal ond fruitless rffort* of thu
Bank party for tho establishment of llndr favorite
policy; and Im insisted with gram earnestness, thut
If it brought upon the country such tirr.is as wu had
ux|mrioncrd in 1835 '0, tlto public welfnre would bo
must deep’y injured; for lie boldly pronounced those
times—in which the whole community, of all clas*#*
and degrees, were given up to the insunu put suit of
wealth) as tho greatest good of individual* and uf
tho nniliin—a» tho very worst lime* this country
had over suffi-red; nnd ha oppeuted to all sober ntin
d-d tnd virtuous men, to eveiy lover of kuowledge,
justice, nnd religion, whether n greuter calamity
could be inflicted nn the country, than tha rcvtvul
of such limes? [Tho meeting responded to lids an
peal in loud crirs of "No, no, no— we wont 00 such
time* again!'*]
On the second point Mr. B. insisted that tha
overthrow of the Independent Treasury, and the
establishment of a Nutiunal Bank ill its stood,
would im deeply and permanently injurious tu the
interest uf commerce and labor in every Irranclt;
and would ni«o lend to put iu jeopardy llm purity
and equality of legislation, freedom of opinion and
action, himI tlte liberties aud morals ol tho country
Although we h id, a* yot, but u partial exhibition uf
the benefit* tsi result from the Independent Treasu
ry, we had seen that the mischiefs predicted from it
wore Imaginary. Since the lsw bad passed price*
had improved, lubor. was in many place* in greater
demand, and burim-s* generally had become more
active. It might, therefore, wdth safety he affirm*
ed that tho w orst which could oome of the Jddep#n*

been experienced. Whatever else might come
from il, it could never Im the occasion of extensive
