1829 &.183'7.—ln order to appreciate to their
full ‘extent the blessings which the present ‘ad-
tniuistration has introtlueed, it is necessary to
review the circumstances under which it came
‘into power. This we shall do very briefly in
-the following paragraphs. g ‘ '
. 1829.
Andrew Jackson found the country in a state
-of’ general prosperity. The government was
aidiriinistered with economy strictly republican.
V Commerce, mantifactures, agriculture flourish-
-ed. The banking system was in a condition uf
‘ 'rremat_itable soundness. There was no disposi-
._ ttiori tomultiply local banks. There ‘was nei-
tl alter-temptation nor opportunity for these banks
tto expand their issues. The failure of a bank was
. _.an occurrence as unusual as an earthquake.
Labor was sure of employment, and sure ofits
- - ,rewat~d. There were few brokers, usurers, and
xtiotrey lenders by profession. There were no
speculators by profession. There were no im-
« ) ’ri’iense’ Operationsin fancy stocks and bubble
schemes. Ever-y trader confined himself to his
Eegitiniate business, and conducted it on facili-
ties procured from tliebanks at six per cent.,Qr

\ ' the face ofthe globe. No man ever lost a cent
by it. It was abundant, safe, and well accred-
, itctl in every part ofthe world. All the pecun-
‘ . iary operatioiistiflratle and commerce were con-

rates. The whole machinery ofsocicty,g0vern-
f’ I - rnent. trade and currency, was in a state as
’ nearly approaching perfection as human inge-
, riuity,‘and human wisdom could compass.
’ Such was the condition ofthe country in 1829.
Then the destroyer came. For eight years he
h_asvmanaged,tlie tilliiirs of the country in his
own way, and his will has been the law of the
‘land.
A
1837.
During the eight years Wliieli have elapsed,
what changes have nccurrcd in our aliairs?
.\Vliy, the whole machinery of currency, trade,
government and society have been deranged.
The land is flooded with three or four hundred
. . millions of irredeemiible paper. The smaller
, coins have utterly disappeared. Gold and sil:
- . ver are no more a currency, than ainetliysts and
diamonds, They have ii_o circul ition. The
currency has escaped _f,rom,.,the control of the
V. laws, and our dimes and quarters are now fur-
_nished by private bankers. The mint is in the
cellars of the licensed victuallers. They carry
on ajoint business of retailingjuleps and issu-
iiug money; this money in the cities, consti-
tutesa large portion of the circulating medium.
Instead of shillings and sixpcnces, you must
’_ take pour change in omnibus tickets; and this
‘ is the Constitutional Currency which has been
restored by General Jackson! _No specie pay-
, .1, ing banks. no specie, bills at parin their own
'I _ ~ \ neighborhood; but to be used in traveling only
, ‘ - at an immense sacrifice, and of no value in the
payment or collection of a distant debt: in fact,
théreis no currency from Maine to Georgia,
that is entitled to the name of a Currency.
. - And how is it with trade? During the last
j,“ ' eight years every thing has been at sixes and
sevens. A good, sound, honest, Iiveliliood giv-
- ing, well conducted, easily managed trade, with
--safe investments, and sure returns, has hardly
" i been known: EYE”! thing has run into specu-
lation. Banks have‘ sprung upon every side.
Any two men who could write their names so
> as to endorse a piece of paper, have been ena-
bled to procure ‘facilities’ which in ninety nine
ases out of a hundred, Iiave been ‘ facilities’ for
heir own destruction. Brokers, usurers, money
.ndei:s and speculators have multiplied till
that; name is Legion. Every thing has been
‘ -. turned heels over head. . No one wants to buy,
and evie y body-is afraid to sell. There is an
tiller 3’ gnation, paralysis, extinction of busi-
tJJe_Bs.» T.housand_.s on tliousands have declared
themselves individually bankrupt; as a nation
we are fnotoriously and miserably bankrnht;
and we have hardly foreign crfiflll enough W

to cross the Atlantic.
And how is it with society 2 Society has not
escaped from the inevitable degradation follow-
ing this wretched state of affairs. Expense, ex-

throughout the country a class of men’ not known
before the day of Gen. J ackson—speculators by
pro/'essz'on—men in very numerous instances of
neither means. character, education, or resour-
ces,wlio-had been living all theirdays in obscure
poverty, because they were unwilling or unable
to earn an honest livelihood by honest labor.-
These men found Gen. Jackson precisely the
President they wanted. Thriving on the'stid-
den andvioleut changes by his ineasures,taking
advantage of the peculiar and unnatural excite-
ments of the times, many of them sprang into
an apparent and temporary affluence, and some
into the possession of actual wealth. This af-
fluence came upon people unaccustomed to it—
and incapable of improving or ‘enjoying it. It
was among this class the first examples of this
ruinous and demoralizing luxury and extrava-
gance were displayed-_-.-and such a rustling of
silks, and such a glitter of plate, as were heard
and seen among gentlemen and ladies who had
been hitherto happy in homespun and polished
pewter; were without a precedet or parallel in
our previous history. All this has given an un-
due interest, influence, and importance to mere
wealth. Every one had caught the mania. It
penetrated the closet of the scholar, and was fast
breaking down the character of the professions;
by merging lawyers, doctors, and ministers, in
the great tribe of the speculators. The effect of
all this on society has been to the last degree in-
jurious. It has turned the top to the bottom.-—
Character-—capacity--integrity-mpublic spirit
and public honor; every thing respectable and
desirhle, seemed to have lost its legitimate weight
and wealtli_bas constituted the paramount claim
to influence and consideration. '
In Government there has been the same revo-
lution. Our highest public olfices have been
filled by men of prnfligate character ; specula-
tors and gamblers in politics. Congress has
been a mere ste ping stone to lucrative appoint-
ments, nnd the sessions have been nieiely a con-
venient reunion of its members for the better ar-
rangement of their land speculations, and the
more convenient distribution or the Government
depositesainong the tnost accommodating Banks.
T/zcheart of our Government is rotten to its core-
aiid like our Society, our Currency and our Trade,
it presents but a miserable present CONTRAST to
the condition of 1829. And all these revolutions
have been brought about by the uncontrolled as-
ce7trIanc_7/ of Jackson ; and by no other agency un-
der Heaven.
From the Louisville Journal.
SenatorWa.Iker, we are authorized to say,
remarked that Congress. during the first fort-
night ofits next session, would set the public
mind at rest in regard tothe preposterous spe-
cie projects that have so long agitated it. He
added, that he honestly believed that there were
but three men in the nation who considered
those projects practicable; and those three were
Mr. Benton, Senator Morris, of Ohio, and Gen.
Jackson.
\Ve are further authorized to state that Sena-
tor Nicholas, of Louisiana, on his return from
Wasliington city, declared that if Mr. Van Bu-_
ren should delay the repeal of the Treasury
Circular until the next session of Con ress,_ his
administration would be certainly an_ utterly
broken down. Senator Nicholas furtlier stated
at the same time, that he regarded the pocketing
ofthe Treasury Circular bill by President Jack-
son, after its passage by such an overwhelming
majority through both Houses of Congress, as the
grossest act of usurpation ever perpetrated by
any President ofthe United States. '
The Globe’; New Battle C'ry.—-The official
editor has truly a bronzed forehead. He has the
impudcnce to hoist at the head of the Globe-—a
paper scorned by the h,o,iiorab,le men of the party
even, for its ribaldry and u_tter/ destitution of
principle-,—the words, ‘Thesupremacy of the
Laws and the Co,nstitutiori’—a_nd under this
motto, lie, Frank Blair of, Kentucky, calls on
the ‘ friends of social order and sound morals, to
rally,’ Hear Iiim! ‘ Let the li__oii_est and wise,
of all parties, with one accord, frown indignant-
Iy on every disturber of the ‘public peace, and
every prolligate advocate Q resistance in the
laws.‘
Amen! say we with all our hearts, and we
would suggest to those whose powers are suffi-
ciently potent to begin with abashing the disturb-
ers ofthe public peace, and the profligate advo-
cates of resistance to the laws,’ who went all
Iengths_ with the Maryland Destructives, the
Pennsylvania Jacobius. and with the great Chief
ofthe party himself, Andrew Jackson. in his me-
morable and systeipatic assault upon the Con-
stitulinn and Laws.—Balt. Patrz'o_t,

Mr. Van Burst; is up to his eyesin trouble-:-
tliose who have seen him within a few days, tell
of his liaggardness anti tlejection. \Vell may
he he miserable! His judgment has been ex-
posed to the experiment in all its parts, no one
doubted its policy more than he did. But it was
required of him to, support that measure as al-
most a preliminary condition to his formal
nomination to the Presidency. In every sub-
sequent state of that experiment he beheld still
more appalling evidences of its folly and mad-
ness. Yet not one step would lie retrace, ‘Qu-
ward!’ was the word,'as the whole maehiner
of currency. trade and credit, became disjointe ,
and louder 'was the cry of ‘Perish Credit! Per-
ish Commerce ! _!’ And here we are. Credit
and Commerce have perished sure enough.-
Mr. Van Buren saw very well that the ship of
State would be deprived of her rudder, and sent
to sea with a certainty of sinking, but he did not
so easily understand how she was to be raised
again and placed in a sea worthy condition.-—
But he had to submit to it all with the miserable
privilege of biting his lip when the eye of no ex-
eeutive _minio_n beheld him.
The Government now moves on like a steam
engine nfinimense power, but with many of its
screws loose, and much of its important machi-
nery misplaced; such grating and crashing was
never witnessed before.--I b.

A fair t7.-z'al.—-The New York Mercantile Ad-
vertiser, a Tory paper in the disguise of neutrali-
ty, recommends a_ temporary suspension of the
hostilities against Mr. Van Buren. It would
give him 9a fair trial till September.’
\Ve have given Mr. Van Buren a fair trial
since the fourth of March. The catalogue of his
most pmmiment misdeeds, thus far, is no short
one :
1, The refusal to rescind the Treasury Circu-
lar, after its repeal had passed the Senate by a
vote9of4I_. to 5.; and the House by a vote of 143
to 5 . ‘
2. '.[‘he a pointment of six members of the
House of epresentatives to lucrative oflices;
indicating an intention to pursue the policy
which has already prostrated the independence
and destroyed the character of Congress.

a Foreign ission, as at recompense for the loss
of character and rofessional practice, conse-
ford county letter. _ _
4. The menance of a predetermination to ex-
ercise the Veto, in the event of certain specified
legislation by Congress. _
5. His refusal to convoke Congress, notwith-
standing the distresses of the people, till he was
compelled to it by the distresses of his Oflice
Holders.

‘-The bank presses threaten revolution, and
call on the people to fight. .\Vhat have the peo-
ple to fight for in this controversy between the
Government and -the rag houses ‘! For the
1n'ivilegeo[beingchcated .” ,
Take care, gentlemen of the administration,
you are walking on tender ground, As far as
we can judge of public opinion, little or no in-
opinioiis are harmonizing in favor of a National
Institution, and without it, the moment specie
payments are resumed, it will be in the power of
the United States Bank to break any and every
Batik tlirotighoiit the United States. The peo-
ple have borne with General Jackson's adminis-
tration, and his evil advised measures, for eight
years—-for what? You have yotirselves given
the response : For the privilege of bein g cheated.
The people have elected Martin Van Buren—
for what? The Government again informs us,
to carry out the measures of his Predecessor.
Go back to General Jackson's magnificent
promises, and compare it with the following
scene at the White House in Washington, when
his successor was humbled by the honest indig-
nation of an American seaman.
An honest tar, who had jtist been paid off in
New York with the notes of a pet bank there,
had occasion to visit Washington, and yesterday
presented his notes to the pay teller of the
Metropolis Bank for specie. He was told that
he could not get it, and that his money would
not be received. He hurried ofl'immediately to
the Secretary ofthe Navy, who‘ said he was ex-
tremely sorry, but could do nothing for him.—-
Determined not to be thrown off in that way,
he hastened to his excellency. the President of
the United States ; and the President, like the
Secretary, was extremely sorry, but could do
nothing for him. The honest tar became indig-
nant, and not having the fear of Martin before
his eyes, he cried out, ‘ damn your sorrow, sir, I
want my money; your sympathy is not worth
a sous marlcce to me ; it's the speciel wants, and
blast your eyes, the specie l’ll have by Iiogk or
by crook.’ " ’
There are a plenty of such spirits abroad, and
it would not take much on the part of the daily
press to fan the embers into a flame; and.i_l_"
pressed beyond the bounds of patience and for-
bearance, we would not be security against any
violent measures oiitlie part ofthe people. The
incendiary language of the Courier, the wild
dream of Mr. Gould, the suppressed resolutions
at Faiieuil Hall, all tell a tale of fearful excite-
ment, which we have sou lit in conjunction with
our coiitempoi;-ayies to alay; but don’t raise a
shout of defiance before you are in safety; and
we tell you plainly, calmly and frankly that
nothing will savetlie administration but a totally
different course of policy from that heretofore
pursued. The suspension of specie payments
has hitherto operated principally on the trading
community ; it; is now felt by the operative and
laboring classes; beware how you raise a devil,
you may not have the power to govern.
The wisacres in Virginia are in a quandary.
The Governor has issued a proclamation con-
vening the Legislature for a special sitting; but
since the issuing of the document a question
has arisen, which is a puzzler. ‘' The Governor
supposed at first, that he was convoking the
members chosen in April for the ncart Legisla-
ture. ‘_Vl‘lel‘e|_.lpOD, the Attorney General step-
ped in and advised him that the present Legis-
Iatuie is the past, and consequenily that the do-
cument must be sent to the old membersiiistead
of the new. The Governor came over to this
opinion, and copies of the proclamation were
addressed to the members of the former Legis-
lature accordingly. The Richmond Enquirer
was at first in favor of the newly chosen mem-
bers; butlie always changes with the powers
that be. The last number discusses the ques-
tion at large; beginning with the inquiry,
‘\Vhicli is the 1»-esentLegislatu.te '!’ His con-
clusion is that it is the past rather than thefu-
ture.—N. Y. Com. *
FOREIGN.
From England.-—The packet ship Garrick,
Capt. Robinson, arrived oti 26th inst. with Lon-
don dates ofthe 17th and Liverpool the 18th-
but a trifle later. \Ve omit extracts, since the
intelligence is of negative importance. The
French King has not yetbeen able to reconstruct
his Ministry, and we are weary of publishing
rumored arrangements one week to contradict
the next. The Bank of England had not ac-
cede_d_ to the modest request of the Liverpool
merchants for an advance of money on their cot-
ton, &c. to shield them from sacrifices.
of course had not improved, and many laborers
were out of employment. Cotton had not risen.
But the most important feature ofthe advices
is this——there have been fewor no failures; even
the American houses stood firm, and are said to
have paid olfa part of the advances of the Bank
ofEngland; while the Bank itself seems to ltave
no idea of suspending Specie payments, and the
smaller Banks stand firm,
It would be an elegant operation indeed if the
Bank of England should be forced to suspend at
all ! It shall prove that we have crippled our
own Banks in a futile attempt to break those of
England by preventing the exportation ofspecie,
we shall deserve to stand the laughing stock of
the world. " The real question,” says the letter
attributed to Ambassador Stevenson, “is whether
the Banks of England or those of the United
States shall suspend specie payments.” Well ;
we are in for it at any rate : and if England is
not, there is a sad miscalculation somewhere.
A verbal rumor, however, asserts that the
news of the failure of the Josephs and the Her-
mans reached London on the evening of our last
advices, and created a general panic. There
must be a shaking there when the full extent of
our disasters is made known.
llferico. -—By the Express Mail of Thursday
evening. at New-York, New Orleans advices of
the 18th inst. bringing Campeachy dates to the
6th. The news from Mexico is decidedly bel-
ligerent. The capzure of the Urrea has created
an intense excitement. which pervades the
whole body politic, and it is feared will result in
outrages upon our citizens residing in that coun-
try. The Government has been forced to forego
or dissem ble its pacific intentions, and order it _de-
tention of all American vessels, and a Declara-
tion of War is expected to follow.
Santa Anna still remains on his estate, be-
trayed by his former friends and detested by all
parties. His exile by the Bustamente party is
daily expected. ' ‘
The New Orleans correspondent ofthe Express
adds: '
Vice Admiral Le Bretainere with the Dhdon
of 60 guns, a sloop and two brigs of war was at
Vera Cruz by last accounts, and the Admiral
at Mexico. My letters say -that his demands
have been amicably adjusted and only those of
the Minister were still pending. There is no
doubt but both the British and French‘ aflairs will
be smothered over, and that all the tempest will
then be turned against the United States.

Britain will take a part in the defence of Mexico.

My latest dates from Matamoras are to the
19th ofApriI, by which I learn that Gen. Bravo
had detained all the American vessels attliat port,
since the afiair ofthe Natchez, expecting Mexi-
co to declare war against the United States at
once. God only knows what will become of all
the Americans in these Mexican States.
Captain O‘I<‘lagberty is still in prison at Cam-
peachy, and in case of a war he will have a
hard chance ofgetting his liberty.
Mr. Kidd received information yesterday, that
Gen. Bravo had detaiiied all the American ves-
sels at Matatnoras, among which is the Texian
armed schooner lndepetidence. and among the
many passengers is the Hon. W. H. \Vharton.
All this will operate severely against us, as up-
wards of $800,000 in specie was expected, part
of which was put one board of one of the vessels.
Later from’ ]lIcrir:o.—By an arrival at New-
York, from Vera Cruz, Mexican papers to the
ters to the 2d inst. are received.
The Ann Eliza, the vessel that arrived, was
to have sailed on the 27th or 23th ofthe preced-
ing month, but the news of the capture of the
Mexican Brig of \Var, ’.-lei‘. Urrea. by the U. S.
sloop of \Var, Natchez, having been received,
she was deiaiiied by order of Gen. Victoria,
commanding otlicer there. She was subse-
quently released, by order ofthe Mexican Gov-
ernment, and American vessels are allowed to
enter and depart as usual. The Mexican Gov-
ernment view the capttirc of the Gen. Urrea, as
the actof an individual, for which the Govern-
ment, under whose flag be sailed, was not to be
made responsible, unless it sanctioned his acts.
There would seem to be no probability ofa WP‘
ture between the two Governments.
General Bustamente, as we already know,
was installed as president ofthe rcptiblic on the
18th April. He has appointed his cabinet,
which consists ofthe following persons : i
. Don Luis Cuevas, Secretary ofState'.
Manuel Penay Pena, 'l\'_1inist_er_ ‘ofthe Ini,e,i,jior.
Joaquin Lebrija, ._,___'Tre_a.s'u‘ry.' ' i I
Jose Marinas Miclieleiia, \Var and Marine.
Sanguine expectations are expressed that the
new Government will adopt a line of policy,
which will relieve Mexico, from the embarrass-
ments under \vI,iich she is sullering. It is not
concealed, lioyvever, that in this task__,_ great are
the obstacles, it will have to encounter.
The F'renc_h A miral who had been to the
city of Mexicp, to deinjaud reparation I91‘ the ID“
jurios inflicted on lfrencli commerce, had satis-
factorily adjusted all difficulties and was on his
return to Vera Cruz.
The army collected at and near Matamoras,
for the invasion ol Texas, are still under the com-
'mand_ of General Bravo, and is represented desti-
ttite of the necessary supplies of provisions and
not receiving their pay, the arrears of which it is
