a suitable candidate to he run in opposition to
Gov. Schley, will assemble at Millcdgaville. In
their selection, the convention should he actuated

dale clresen, should possess all the qualifies! ons,
necessary to make a good Governor, and at the

1 Most of the predictions made in this speech

them rrai] the following extract* Irom the speech,
ofOen. McDuffie, relative to the Public Depusites:
“In the present calamitous condition of the
country we have a melancholy exemplification to
prove how small a share of human wisdom is re
quisite to produce the greatest conceivable extent
of human misery. The meanest pigmy, armed
with a sceptre, can destroy, in a single day, the
great fabric of a nation’s prosperity, which all the
intellectual giants of the land cannot rebuild in
a long and laborious course of years. I will not tell
the people to look for salvation to those who
have involved them in this calamity. No, sir,
this storm has been produced by a species of ne
cromsncy, which is endowed only with the'facul
ty of mischief, and which having raised the ele
ments, has no power of exorcism to lay them.
The Prospero, whose fatal wand has conjured up
these elements, into this wild and fearful and dis
astrous commotion, has no magic power to call
up the ministering spirits of the stormy deep, to
rescue the sinking fortunes of a whole people,
rashly and wickedly exposed to the rocks, winds
waves, and quicksands, of this most desperate and
wicked experiment.
“The experience of the last few years has an
tirely changed my views as to the destiny of the
human race. My youthful visions of the perfec
tibility of mankind have vanished before the sad
realities of the times. They are gone for ever. I
am now conalrained to lielieve, that with all the
lights of reason and experience, and the political
improvements of our country, men are still the
idolatrous and predestined victims of imposture,
Before that God, to whom I am responsible for
what I say here J do believe the annals of hu- 1
niMpidolatry a4V\|clusibH% furnish an.cx
amjde of a more audacious, and mortSy
I strous imposture, than that which this adminis- .
Iralioji is l}ltciflptirf B , if 111 l Jp aT ' wil *> ‘°<>.™ uch ’
success, to pafrn upon/tho poopla Ignited |
Stales, under the fiimsey and delusive guise of r i- \
turning to the primitive simplicity of a “hard mo- 1
ncy government!” Nothing that I have read, 1
amongst all the superstitions of the world, trans- 1
ccnds its monstrous audacity.
“It is an eventful crisis in our history, and it
remains to bo decided whether the people can be ;
made the dupes of this monstrous scheme of am
bition covered over by the pretence of going back
to a silver currency. Sir, it is not the first lime ,
in the history of human idalatry, when the hor
rid features of a foul and unnatural monster have
"itcen concealed from tho eyes of his deluded fol- t
lowers, by a silver veil. You have no doubt
sir, the instructive illustration of the weakness
of human delusion, and the boldness of human
imposture, tho Veiled Prophet ofKhorassan. De
prived of nature’s fair proportions, the hold im
poster covered his deformity with a silver veil, and
hoisted a broad white flag, upon which was in
scribed, in words of sunshine, “freedom to the
world." Holding out tho alluring promise, that
lie would set free
“ I Ills follomd world from every bond and staid, 1
And bring its primal glories back again ” I
Me drew millions of devoted followers to his ban- 1
ner. And after ho had prevailed upon them to 5
sacrifice their souls and bodies to his unholy riles,
he raised the veil j and instead of disclosing the
promised vision of heavenly light, exhibited his
foul lineaments “in grinning mockeryexclaim
ing to his wretched victims,
“There, yo wise saints, behold your light, your star,
Yo would he dupes and victims, and ye are."
May the honest devoters of a hard money curren
cy, take warning from the example of those vol
untary viclitha of a daring imposture, and avoid
their fate ! They here hshold their fate accu- i
rately prefigured, if they do not rise up and resist
the scheme of imposture, which I have attempt- |
cd to expose,
“It is easy to read the future history of the coun- I
tiy, if the schemes of the reigning dynasty are *
not defeated by the people. Anarchy is the high- ,
way to despotic power, whether it ho a hankilig i
or political despotism. When the Bank of the 1
United Slates shall be destroyed, the currency I
will be thrown into such derangement and confu- j
•ion, that the country will he prepared to submit i
to any National Bank rather than induce the pre- i
vailing evils. Then the administration will come 1
forward in that “spirit of improvement” of which
the President speaks, with their grand scheme of
a “political bank, founded on the checks and
balances of this Government.”
I fear, JVIr. Speaker; that the lessons of experi
ence. ore lost upon nations. No people have
heenjrnore severely schooled by this teacher, than
the people of tho United Stales have been on
this subject. And I never relied upon our pre
sent condition and prospects, without recurring
to tho fall of the Italion, who, professing a strong
and robust constitution, sacrifised it to the tom
poring of experimental quackery. His epitaph
was brief, and contained an instructive lesson.
“I was well: I would he belter; I am here.” May
it never ke tho painful office of the historian to
inscribe the same warning epitaph on the mighty
ruins of our national prosperity.
“I fear, s:i, that we have not sufficiently realis
ed the, importance of a sound and stable Curren
cy. All our civil institutions combined arc not
more important than this, os a guarantee for the
secure enjoyment of the rights of properly. In
vain do wo boast of our laws and the incorrupti
ble pm ily of our judges, as means of protecting
properly, if you lake away ilia very substratum !
upon which the whole superstructure must res:.” |
[COMMUNICATED.]
Mr. Jones—ln looking over some paper some
few days back, litc following article attracted iny |
attention. It so perfectly accords with my own '
opinion, and possibly with the opinion of many
others, that lam disposed 10 ask its republiealion. \
1 he present is not a period which would justify
a discussion of cither the advantages or the injury t
resulting from such institutions—they should at
such a crisis be sustained. Banks, managed with
a view to the interest of the many, not the few— •
arc public blessings—but it is feared their tenden
cy /ui t been, is, and w.'// be, to bring about that
stale of things suggested in the last paragraph
and the evil therefore must in proper time be cor
rected ora greater will inevitably follow.

“Os ail aristocrats,” said a Committee of the
New York Legislator* in 1817, “none more com
pletely enslave a people than that of money; and
in tho opinion ol your committee, no system was
over belter devised so perfectly to enslave a com
munity, as l rat of the present mode of conducting
Banking establishment*. Like the Syren of the
fable, they emico to destroy. They hold the puise
strings of society, and by monopolizing the whole
of the circulating medium of the country, they
form a prccatious standard, by w hich all property
in the country, lands,debts, and credits, personal
and real estate of all descriptions, are valued; thus
rendering the whole community dependent on
them; prescribing every man who dares to expose
their unlawful practices if h» appear* to be out ■
of their reach, so as to requ'ns no favor* from
them, his frisuds ire made the victim*. Bo no
one dares complain.
The difference between England and the Uni
ted States is simply this; in thb former country,
exclusive privileges arc conferred on individuals
who are called Eordt; in the latter, exclusive
privileges are conferred on corporations which
arc called Banks. The effect on the people of
both countries is the same. In both, the many
live and labor for the benefit of the few.”
Ertract of a letter received in Charleston,
from an officer of the army, just arrived from
Tamp* Bay, dated
“Black Creek, 27th April, 1837.
“The Indians are coming in as fast as can be
expected, and lam fully satisfied that all is go
ing on admirably. Large numbers of Cattle,
Horses, &c. have been brought in, and bought
by the Quarter Master’s Department. Tho or
der of(he sth inst. (Gen. Jesup’s) and which ap
pears to have caused some excitement, was high
ly necessary, and of this 1 was enabled to judge
Irom being on the spot. Gen. Jcsup deserve*
great credit for the manner he has conducted
the campa-gn, and has acted throughout with
the greatest delicacy and discretion. The Flori
dians ought, of all others, to thank him.”
The Fixalk. —The “experiment” is now
complete—the President of the Uuilsd Slates i.as
declared that the couhtiit is ruined —that be
cax do nothixd roii vs. This we learn from
a private source, which wc consider authentic,
was the amount of Mr. Van Buben’s reply to
(be Committee of Merchants from New York.
After having, by a succession of daring outrages
on the Constitution and the Legislative authori
ty of Congress,—brought us to this desperate
condition, the Executive, omnipotent for evil,
finds itself powerless to stay the torrent— itself
the victim of its own despotism. Is tho Execu
tive satisfied I —there is no “monopoly” of ruin
now—is it broad enough to sate even the democrat
ic appetite of Jackson. “The currency is rapid
ly improving by my humble efforts,” said Ja k
son and it has been echoed and re-echoed bv
bis minions—"the country is ruiued”—says Van
Buren, Where are the triumphant congratula
tions of the 4th of March 1 Where are the
drew Editions of the “Farewell’, and the “Inaug
ural,” that were to issue monthly on Satin, to
“fill the measure” of the people’s grateful enthu
siasm, and bo transmitted with shouts and rejoic
ings to all posteiiij'; And echo answers “where!”
The grave has closed even owf adulation of
slaves. The Globe itself all shameless as ft • !f i
dares not mention the Executive except in hag
gard and desperate attempts to defend him—
there is no triumph now.
“The country is ruined!! I can do nothing for
you”!!! Wc musl remember that one of the de
mands of the Committee was, that “Congress
be assembled.” Mr. Van Burcu dares nut then
meet Congress. Ho dares not meet those great
states who haves a unweariedly opposed the reck
less experiments of the Administration—who
foresaw- and foretold with a distinctness and par
ticularity that now startle* U s ( w hat would be
tho disastrous resuhot these experiments. Why
docs the President dread the assembling of Con
gross. Because he kotows he would be dragged to
light and bis own parly shamed out of their ser
vility. Let him be wise in season, for to this
measure lie must come, or the Congress of the
United Stales will be compelled to meet, and
declare that Martin Van Buren has abdicated the
Government and the Presidency is thereby va
cant*— Charleston Jtfercury of yesterday.
A COINCIDENCE.
General Jackson went out of office on tho 3d
of March. On the 4th, at 12 o‘clock, he put
forth his valedictory, in which h* said “ he was
sure that none of his mistakes had seriously in

Injunction on the Buffalo Bank* I . —From
the evening edition of yesterday’s Albany Argus,
we copy the following important article
We understand that tbe operations of all (he
banks at Uullalo will by this lime have been sus
pended by injunction, issued at the instance of
the Bank commissioners, on the ground of alleg
ed violations of charter by each of them.
It is deeply to be regretted that any thing
should occur to render proceedings against any
of the blinks necessary at this time, when there
arc so many circumslaces calculated to agitate the
public mind. Mr. Stebbins, one of the commis
sioners, who has lately visited these banks, is
now in the city, and wo understand from him,
that neitherjol tln|institiitions is proceeded against
on the ground of insolvency, and that he has no
apprehension that the public, or the safety fund,
can in any event sustain any loss by them.
On inquiry, wc learn that the couisa of pro
ceedings by the court in such eases, is in the first
instance to issue a temporary injunction, restrain
ing operations of the bank, except receiving pay
ments. until a short day appointed for the bank to
show why a permant injunction should not issue;
and that in this instance, cause is to bo shown
before the fourth Monday of the present month.
Wc indulge the hope that tbs-e banks will be
able to shotv t sufficient cause to prevent farther pro
ceedings against them, and in the mean time
hope that no sacrifices will bo submitted to by
the holders of bills, which wo have no doubt are
abundantly safe, and that the other banking in
stitutions of tbe state will continue to enjoy, as
wo have no doubt they deserve the public confi
dence.
Wc arc authorized by General Davis, one of
the Bank Commissioners, to state that arrange
ments will be made by the commissioners, for the
prompt redemption of all the kills in circulation
of the Buffalo banks, against whom the injunc
tions have been issued by the Chancellor, as sta
led by the Argus.—The holders of these bills,
therefore, need nut be alarmed, or make any sac
rifices.

Monopolies of all kinds are inimical to liberty.
When the Slates gives one man an advantage
over another by granting him immunities, it
wrongs tbe citizen. Industry becomes paralyzed,
for whole years of toil will not suffice to reach a
point that tho fortunate holder of legal privlegcs
may attain in an hour. Yet legal monopolies
have found advocates on the score that the public
good requires their establishment. Uut the evil
docs not stop here. The institution Os bodies of
men for effecting a certain olject under the law,
sow the seeds of unprivleged monopolies. Look
at the cotton monopoly of New Orleans for tbcla.-t
ten years. It sprang from and lived upon the vi
tals of the banks. There was no liberty ofspeccb,
no freedom of the press, beneath Us blig ling
shade. It was a blind power that crushed all that
were not votaries. Every thing, every body which
came within Ihcjreach of its influence, dragged out
a miserable cxi-tencc. Nor was it a body remark
able for intelligence or thought. It drew its
breath f rom llie banks, and by its own weight tot
tered to destruction.
From the Phdadtlphia Commercial Herald, M ay G.
Don’toite us the Suit. — lt was amid the
conflict of men and angry passions, with the roar
of the camion, the hurried tread of armed men
over his head, the groan ol the dying and the
shriek of the wounded in hi* ear, with his can
vass torn, his masts by the boar-1, his scuppers
running blood, and the death rattle in his own
throat—that the dying Lawrence gave bis last
order to his crew. That order was taken up as
a watch word and a battle call, through the length
alid breadth of our land. It fluttered from the
mast bead, it waved over the ocean, and its cheer
ing influence lit up the counUmance and warmed
the soul of the patriot, in the darkest hour of
what is generally termed—the last war.
It is amid tbe conflict of the Government and
the trading community ; with the crash of credit
and the buiried tread of the merchant seeking
for means; with the lamentation of the bankrupt,
I
l |A. the general wait of th* distressed pealing hr .
, . our car; while in truth ,of Ahe ahip of aUlo *
1 it may be said, her canvass is lorn, the masts by
- ! the board, tbe crew faltering, and the helsman a (
. i traitor and a dastard, that we run up the signal
s “don’t give ve the ship.” The barque ol I
3 ! filly propelled by the gale of madness may i..decd
i i out-ail us, but let us still keep in her wake; and
f: though she does run us hull under, Ihc time will
r FOon come, when we s tail overhaul, grapple,
j board and conquer. Then those who stood by
each other in the trying lime, who counselled I
, not from their (ears, but from their courage, who
i aided each other with their purses and names,
ami who shoulder to shoulder withstood the shock
will turn and grasping each other by the hand,
s merrily and cheerfully say, “we stuck to the
• ship!” i
, The importance of confiden-e and mutual sup
t port among our merchants dt the present time is
■ inconceivable ; the immense stake our city has
- at issue in upholding her credit, and sustaining
■ her solvency, all unite in demanding from our
i business men accommodation to each other, and ,
i from our banks and capitalists, every support
1 they arc able to give.
i While our sister cities are wrapped in sack
■ cloth and ashes, it is unreasonable to supposed
(hat we should walk in the attire of rejoicing;
but it is a fact, that on us the blow has not fall
en, as it has on other less favoured spots; this i
’ month will probably see our merchants through
their heaviest payments, and why then should '
1 despondency prevail! Bad the times arc, but |
worse they might be, and therefore lot us take
heart; it needs confidence in each other, mutual
• accommodation, and above all retrenchment in
1 our business, houses, furniture and personal ex
■ penses, and we shall go through safe.—Let the
! motto be, “Don’t give up the Ship.” Let the
• banks ami tbe merchants, —the creditor who is
1 creditor to one but debtor to another, hear and
forbear, and we may yet weather the storm and
bring the ship irito port. ,
Aye. and when she is there, wd go for a court- t
martial on the officers—a trying and examination J
of the causes and reasons of the had sailing and ‘
narrow escape, of the miserable condition anil un
seamanlike plight of the good ship “U. Slates,”
whereof Marlin Van Buren is admiral, Arnos Ken
! dall, boatswain and Blair, took. Let them be
arraigned, tried, and iffound guilty, we, as one
1 of the crew, arc ready to bring the “lubbers” up '
to the windlass and give them their deserts. We
have hern on shout allowance long enough.
. Purser Woodbury is hut a snivelling marine,
that’s poz ; and as for the cook and the bow’s’n,

■DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP!”

i As war is now waging in the Gulf of Mexico
. and Texas, it is recommended to the citizens of
, the United Slates, trading with those or the neigh
boring countries, or whose properly is likely to
, come within reach of the combatants, to see that
, the vessels in which, or in whose cargoes, they
. are interested, are provided wiui the pa; ers spcci
, Tied in the 23d article of the Treaty between the
. United Stales and Mexico, an extract from said
, article here follows: “Article 23d. To avoid all
, kinds of vexation and abuse in the examination of
I papers relating to the ownership of vessels be
. longing to tbe citizens of the two contracting
. parties, they have agreed, and do agree that in
case one of them be engaged in war, the vessels
belonging to the citizens of tho other must he
furnished wite Sea Loiters or passports, express
ing the name, property, and hulk of the vessel,
I and also the name and place of habitation of the
j master or commander of said vessel, in order that
. it may thereby appear that the said vessel really
. and truly belongs to the citizens of one of the
contracting parlies;” which is considered by this
Goverr.incut as obligatory upon both Mexico and
Texas.
In order to protect the property and vessels of
American citizens, I am furnished by the State
Department with Sea Letters, which will he gran

have been so light that we ctm scarcely say that
their is any thing at all doing. No sales have come 1
toouf knowledge and we can therefore give no quo

place until some final settlement of the financial
affairs of the country takes place.

NEW ENGLAND COUGH SYRUP.
Coughs and Colds.
|TT is now about one v-h? since :he New E.n-

public, during which time several thousand bo’tles
have be-m distribute! throughout the United States
and ihe British Provinces, and in all cases where
the direations have been strictly followed by those
who used it the most salutary effects have been
produced, and it has uniiormly proved itself to be a
specific for Influenza, Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Whooping Cough, Spitting of Blood, and all affec
tions ot the lungs.
The pioprictors arc at liberty to refer to many in
dividuals of the first respectability, who have been
cured of obstinate coughs by its use, and the follow
ing letters received by them are added, forthe peru
sal of those who may be troubled with similar com
-1 plaints.
Gentlemen, —After having tried, by the recom
mendation of ray friends, almost every medicine for
a cough, without the least relief, I had recourse to
yout New England Cough Syrup, and am enabled
to say, with much thankfulness, that it has cured
mo of one of the most obstinate coughs 1 over knew,
and I shall feel it to be a duty to recommend it to
every one w hom 1 find in need of so valuable a me
dicico. Signed—Yours respectluliy.
john. p. Stevens.
The very great benefit that 1 have derived from
the use of your Syrup has astonished me beyond
measure From the length of time that 1 suffer
ed from a most-inveterate cough, I supposed I should
never be rid of it while 1 lived. Rut inkingthe bot
tle ol Syrup which 1 procured from you, 1 have
been perfectly cured, and now enjoy good health.
