A iiuiidred thoiistiud causes are assigned lor
the present state of ihiiigs; and it is true iliai
many causes have broizglit us _wlicie we N8;
but follow results to their fountain-liead, aiitl the
auiiou 0fGn\-ernnient, it must be eversccn, is the
proximate cause. Overtradiiig, the Globe and
other Administration jouraas say. is the Calls?-
\Vell, if we grant this, who siiiiiulatctl the .U\'Cf-.
trailing '1 \Vho was the cause of iliecrcatiou ol
the batik capital upon which it is supposed to be
founded’! Assuredly the G-overiitneiit; lor the
Gverntnent struck down one batik. which regu-
lmed [he exchanges of the Union, Z.lll(.l‘lllllltll'€tl$
have sprung up on its ruins. Virginia (who is
more faithful 1’) even now is creating batik capi-
rnl. Missouri, (et to ‘unite! why does tint Bi-ii»
ion say?) has given us a bank of $§').000.000 ;
and Mississippi has voted a bank til'$'~’5iUUU.5U0-
Even states strongly attached to this specie (‘ur-
‘rciicy administration feel tlien_isc-lves UIl(lt.‘l' the
necessity of creating batik capital to tlo the busi-
ness ofthe country. 11 ought to have been lore-
scen--antl the adtiiinistration was repeatedly
forewariied——that the withdrawal of the capital
and (;irculal.it)(l ofthe United States Batik would
lead to a rivalry in the creation ofslatc bank capi-
tal, which capital, when thus created, would
stimulate enterprise and speculation to the ot-
most possible verge.
The Whig press of this country told the ad-
ministration that the dcposite banks could not
regulate the domestic exchanges, the rcgtilat on
of which is of the utmost importance to all the
operations of trade. They ll-ll'L‘6 not, and they
clzmiot; and it is this great ditlicultyi.i the trans-
fer of money which no’-v creates mut-.li of our
embarrassincnt. The \Vliig press told the ad-
ministration that foreign capital was necessary
for a new country, with -great uridcvclopctl re-
sources, and the administration raised an outcry‘
against it, and Mr. Rush, aided by the organ ol
the Government in \Vashington. has done his
best to run down American credit in London,
and in all Europe. '1‘o a certain extent this
maliciousness has succeeded. Even Mr. Sicveii—
sort, our minister pleuipoteutiury. thought such
an attempt was too bad, and in part caiiie out
against it. The misciiiefof distrust, and of all
its consctpieuctzs here, was crcaicti. The Bank
ofEiigl:-ind took such men as Mr. l.'i.USll, and
such oracles as the Government organ, for good
authority. Mr. Rush, in his better days, had
l.!t.‘<;n_ on .-Xtncric-fin niinister, and a Secretary of
the Trc.asury. There was an apparent rcasoii
for crediting hint and his treason to the busiiicss
men of this country. The Bank of litigland in
October last cornmcticcd an attack tipon A lDt‘t'l-
can credit. The lirst onset was open A iiierican
Lousesjn London. The next was tipon Ameri-
can stocks and bills of ext-liringe. The last was
upon Aiiicricart cotton. Then the blow reached
us; and here was the beginning ofthe panic that
is now frightt_2ning People out oftiieir sciiscs.
Now, when this ovcriratling coiiitiicucctl,
stimulated as it was by the two or the ll'tft"L'
hundred slate banks which had been created by
the states in a vain attempt to supply the place,
of the United States Batik, what ditl the (.-iovcrn-.
ment do? After it hatl alaiinctl all Europe by
adopting all manner ofiiicaiis to take away spccic
from Europe that must go back again, and aftci"
its agent in Lontlon had crictl tiowii Aiiiericaii
credit there-——lhcn, at the very inoiiicnt when the
strong arm of Govcrurnciit was necessary to sus-
tain the credit of the country at lioii'it:, and to
kecptliings at least in slow. rpm. it fuliiiiuaicd
the Treasury order of July, against the will of
Congress, and in violation of law. it put thr-
\Ve.stern states under the ban, by :lll()\'\'ll'l_L{ the
receipts of tlic t",|h:l()ll1S upon the Ailziiiiit; lo be
paid in bank bills. while the pnrcli.-iscs fti‘ lllt:
public lands must be paid in spccic.
The effect of this order was iiistaiitziiicotisly
fatal, not only in the Soiiiliwestcrii and \Vt-.-s-
tern, but in the Middle Atlantic 5ta'cs. It did
not stop laud speculators; for wliocver has uiark-

deserted city. Tito liiipuricis and _iobbci's here

Tut: A't'T.-tctiitit::<'r LAW.
'\Vc pcrccivc, from otir exchange papers, that
an attempt will probably be made at the next
session of the Legislature, to repeal this law.-—
Its operation is now, certainly, in many cases,
exceedingly oppressive and unjust; and we
think it might be so modified at least, if not re-
pcaletl, as much better to subserve the interests
of both creditor and debtor; by ‘removing the
temptation vvliich it now olfers to tinpriiicipled
creditors to break up the business of their debt-
ors, and secure zi ftili indemnity to themselves,
while others less greedy, anti more lenient, are
left to pocket :1 total loss. It certainly is tit:sct'\’-
ing of the attentive consideration of the Legisla-
ttire, whether :1 plan cannot be devised which
will secure all the beiiefits of the existing‘ law,
anti at the same time provide a safeguard against
its abuses.
{Sb A wiitcr in the Register, proposes that
our House of Reprcsciitatives should adopt the
practice of the Senate, and of all other Legisla-
tive boilies-.-anti not appoint their Clerks from
their own number. It is a good suggestion-—
notwitiistantling the stispicit.-its quarter from
which it come.s——antl we hope it will be adopted.
‘There's 1na7t_7/ cz sli 1; ijunirl the cup and the lip.’
It will be seen from the ollicial canvass of the

column, that Col. VVliite is declared to be elect-

The Harifortl Times says, that the Moderator
of the town of Rcdtlitig returned 122 votes for
Elie-rit-zt-r Siodilartl for Senator, iiistcad of St.
This, of

Moderator must have committed a gross error,
or-—(‘.vhich is uiore likely to be the case, jtttl_r_r-

The T-ones.--'l‘lie pressure continues with
unabated rigor. Fora short period it wascliiefly
confined to the commercial iiictropolis. Btu,
the heart cannot cease to beat, without paralyz-
ing the extrcmitics. The distress has reached
the country, anti is rapidly extending to its re-
motest bounds. The fearful evils proplicsicd by
Whig statesmen in 1831, are fast being realized
in their widest extent. Extensive inaiiufactur-
ing cstablisliments of all descriptions, are daily
stopping, and tlioiisautls of mechanics and work
iiigincn are thrown out of employment, anrl the
busy hum ofiudust ry is giviizg place to the groans
ofwarit. And yctthe Tory press has the liartli-
hood and ellrontcry to charge all this distress
upon the folly and extravagance ofthe people !
Yea, tri0re,—tlie governmentollicial—-tlie Globe
has said ‘there is no existing pressure wliicli any
honest man should regret.’ \Vastlicrcevcr sticii
insolence! All then, who feel the pressure
mtist be ‘rogues ,' and as the scurvy politicians
who edit that scurrillous print are not allt-cted
by it, they forsootli, are honest man. .’ Precious
reasoning truly; but the only kind of logic, by
the way, by which these fellows can prove their
own honesty.
The causes of this unparalleled pressure are
well set forth in an article from the Express,
which will be found in anotlicrcolumii; and in
the following from the Pailatliuni :
The Jackson papers labor drczitlftil hard to
blind the eyes oftlieirdcludcd and sull'ci'iug rea-
ders in respect to the causes ofthe present uni-
versal distress among business and workingmcn.
Sonic oftheui say itis allowing to an undue ex-
tension of the paper system. Nobody doubts
iuat this is one of the causes; but who caused
the extension oftiie paper system? Those who
destroyed the United States Batik with its capi-
tal ofthirty-five millions and created in the place
of it three hzutdrcrl ancl_/if/.y-seven -new banks, be-
sides 146 branches, with capitals amounting in
the aggregate to one /zundrccl and scz=cnI._i/-niige
mtillions of clullarsl.’ .’ Such has been the ex-
pansion of bank capital merely by the clcsiruc
tion ol'the United States Batik! From this capi-
tal the paper circulation has increased to one
hundred and twenty-four millions of dollars !—
And this is the boasted GOLD CURRENCY
that we were to have in the place of U. S. ]_3,ai_ik
Notes. Another cause of the present. distress,
say these Jackson papers, is the immense specu-
lations wliich have been carried on tlirougli the
country for the last two or three years. True-
but by whom and what irieaiis was this specu-
lating spirit created and kept alive? By the
Administration atid its measures. lit the first
place by the destruction ofthe Great Regulator
of the Currency, the U. S. Bank :——iii tiic sc-
cond place by the creation of three hundred and
filiy-seven new banks, which gave to the coun-
try" an additional papcrcirculation of one bund-
red and twenty four millions of dollars ; and in
the third place by the example set to the people
by uienibers of the Jackson party in both houses
of Congress, anti in the Cabinet.
These men began and carried on the land
spcctilations with the paper money which they
borrowed from the Dcpositc or Pet Banks, anti
which they could never have obtained for such
purposes from the United States Batik. Mr.
Ewing, in his place in the Senate, boldly charg-
ed soiiie of the Executive officers of the govern-
ment, and members of both Houses of Congress
with belonging to large joint stock compatiics,
wliicli were crcalcil for speculation in lands, and
his charge was not denied. It is too true, as the
Jackson papers say, that this distress is brought
upon the country by speculations and an ‘ undue
expansion of the paper system ;’ but who caused
these speculations, anti this ‘undue expansion‘
they do not iiiforiii us. The \\7liigs, however,
prctlit-ted the present state of llllllgfl.-l't‘0llt the inn-
mciit the Government began its ‘experiment.’

their fricutls had been deceiving them. and as
they are nt)t so abotiiinably still‘-rieckctl in their
opinions as to refuse to yield them tip when eve-
ry tiiing seemed to deinonstrate to them that
they were wrong, they did not in those years do
ilieirt.tuty at the ballot boxes. Now, the whole
subject is revealed to them from begitiiiiiig to
end, anti in propor:ioi;i as they thought the less,
they now tliiuk the more of their frictids—-aiitl
one would think that the views of ouropponents
would in a similar manner undergo a change.
But—iio—-they are joined to their idols. and ii is
best to let them alone. Though starving to pay
tribute to the priests of the tlemocratit: Jugger-
naut, they will at the bidding of their patriotic
advisers prostrote themselves beneath the tem-

wlicels pass over them, their prayer, to the last
