FOREIGN.
There were several arrivals from London,
Liverpool and Havrc, at New-York, on Sunday
last. The following is from an English paper:
The Journal dcs Debate, a French paper is
decidedly of opinion that the course of Jackson
against the currency, and the attempt to substi-
tute gold and silver for credit, ruined our coun-
try. It; approves of the suspension of specie
payments as a measure by which we canpay
our European debts.
America and En,qlanr1.—-Tlie annals of un-
tions do not afford a grosscr instance of dis-
honesty than that which is exhibited at the pre-
sent moment by the government of America.-
Jackson and Van Burcn have showed their quali-
fications to write a treatise on the Art of Rob-
bing niwde Easy. They have got from the un-
suspecting British merchants gold and goods to
the amount of $912,000,000. They resolve that
gold shall not he geturned by Ainericn, and ex-
ert all the powers of government to prevent the
American creditor from paying his debts. 'I‘lic
government openly and shamelessly takes every
measure to prevent the payment of American
debts to Europe. The consequence is, ofcourse,
the bankruptcy of the United States merchants,
and the losses arising to English merchants from
these bankruptcies appear to be calculated upon
as the principal means of keeping a gold cur-
rency in the U. States. The American govern-
ment has, however, ruined thc credit of ‘Ameri-
can banks and American mcrchantsin this coun-
try. American investments must now becomi-
any thing but eligible; and the effect will be the
eventual -withdrawal of English capital from
schemes of improvements in the U. States. The
value of floating American hills in this country
mils: lit; {to iporc ,t.lia,,r; tlir: value of unsold Ame
of zmion is the ruling passion of the hearts of
rican goods in British ports. The American
banks must. be made to know that their credit in
this country depends upon their power to meet
their engagements in coin or saleable commodi-
tics; and ifthcy persist in refusing to do so, the
bank of England certainly has no obligation to
bolster up their tottering credit.

NORWALK, WEDi\'ESDAY,iJULY 25. 1837.
017* We learn from our exchange papers, that
the ladies in several towns, without distinction
of party, old and young, married and single.
took it into their heads to celebrate the lost: an-
niversary of our National Independence, on
their own hook.
\Ve give the following as a specimen of the
toasts which were drank on the occasion:
Old Bi1chelors——May they lie on a bed of
nettlcs, sit alone on 8. wooden stool, eat alone
on awooden trencher, and be their own /circ/Len
niairls. _
Industry of‘ the Young Ladies of Barre——wlio
always want to be cngagccl.
Matriinony—-The truth and essence of life;
love at home, unity abroad, and consistency at
all times and in all conditions.
Old Bacliclors-—“Tliere is something rotten
in Denmark.”
The ladies of the U. Statcs——-The first tutors
of the defenders of ourliberties.
Female Influvnce-—Let; the other sex rcinem-
ber tliat where the females are ignorant and dc-
gradcd the men are slaves.
Parties in the United States—-The best of all
parties are zznerfdiizg parties.
The Old Baclielor like the Thorn Hcdgc——
neither blossoms uor fruit render it useful or
ornamental, but it is 0. scourge to all creatures.
Rather out there, my dear. A thorn hedge is
both useful and ornamental; aiiil it does blossom
too, most bcautifiilly. But it is true, that it
yields nofruit, (unless it be grafted.) and is a
scourge to all who handle it uiiliiivfiilly. From
the unmcrciful manner in which the Old Bache-
lors catch it—it cannot be doubted that the love
the dear creatures. The spirit of all their
toasts may be comprised in one which was giv-
en by a damsel who flourished in the days of the
revolution :
Our Country--Its wclfarc will be best pro-
moted it‘ all its single-incn will turn hirsbcuz-.7l-
men.
0;‘,;P \Vo publish the communication of our
correeporitlrlnl X. respecting the New Canaan
celebration, with a single word of explanation.
The mail arrived so late as to give us no time
for any revision of the article, previous to its
going into the hands of. the printer. ‘We do not
know whether it was an exclusively “ party“
celebration or not, and of course can neither in-
dorse or dissent from X's account of the matter.
There can l:e no question. however, but that his
remarks wcil apply to 1nrm_y ofthc sentiments
drziul-2 at the “ wliolc-hog" celebrations ofthc 4th
inst. at more places than one.

Dear Sir——-l’ have been running my eye over a_
jumble of Toasts purporting to have bccu drunk-
en, with ob:-ztrcpcrous uproar, at New-Canaan,
on the -1th instant. Surely the Fourth of July
must be falling into contempt and disuse, if we
are tojudge front tlicsc expiring groans of party
jollity and revel; though. to be sure, they do ex-
hibit soiue ferocious specimens of the patriotic
in their havoc of the King’s English; and not a
little oftbat infidel Loco—Focoisrn which “ burnt
in the bosoms" of the supporters of Marat, Ro-
bespicrrc and Tom Paine, in their tiradcs against
Sunday-schools and Temperance Societics——a
litile training in either of which miglit be ad-
vantageous to their morals and education. ‘
But, in truth. it is not my intention to be severe
on this occasion: for mirth would better become
it than gravity, much as there may be for repre-
liension and regret. Tlieignoranceo f this “pa-
tent .DC77l0C‘l'tIC:l/" is miguty—'.thas ruti thro ugh

The sentiments of the Persian poct Hafiz
were compared to a string of pearls. These

us avoid extremes, and neither scuttle or blow
up the ship, (with our friends and their proper-
ty on board,) in order to burn, sink and destroy
the Bank Rats in the hole. ’I‘uiic-—Clear the

racy.._l_‘1,:1y the time soon come wlicii the politi-
cal gulf between those two partii-s be. widened
and deepcnml, and the people distiuguislicd be-
tween mere ll1CUr:“i.lt:fl.l and priictical Demo-
crats——l)et,tveen those who buthzivc the doctrine
of Equal rights on thcirlips,‘ and those who wear
it in their hearts.” '
The second toast, it will be seen, is a coin-
meut upon, and rep.-.licosiou of the first. The
first, it is clear. indicates the cleariiig up of the
views of the better part of the “ Patent Democ-
rrzcg/" in rcgartl to the currency. The si-i.-ond,
of the desperate condition of the Loco-Foco iii-
tcrest, which, like a mad dog, being sure of
death itself, is trying to bite the virus into its
keepers. _
As to the “tlieorctical and practical demo-
crats.” and their separation, we tliiuk there cati-
not long remain much doubt. Under the
“greatest and best,” we had “theoretical dc-
mocracy.“ under his successor, “practical de-
mocracy." The tlicoreticiil put down the bank,
and the practical put down the people; and
both together are now grinding them to powder.
Mr. Street thinks that “hostility to banks is
quite too much the go about these days." I
think so too. It is this hostility which has crip-
pled them ; and while public opinion was sans
the banks were sound. \Ve have specie enough
to discduut upon. but not enough to supply a me-
tallic currency. And when people find tliisout,
and have honesty and sense enough to own it,
we may look for better times. It‘ is no ban/c no
bread with US--Z-Jllll lioivcvcrliarsli the proposiis"
tion may appear, it is sober truth. \Ve must
also have a baIik——a National Bank ofiliscouut
and deposit; with a large capital and along
charter. And this is what we will have-—-it is
what the Van Burcu party will yet be forced to
give us—aiid they know it. So the sooner they
eat their words, the sooner will thcy get over the
X.
disgrace of it.

their hatred, as liereceived their abuse. The fact
is, with all his love of notoriety and ambition.
Mr. R..-aymoiirl is quite too independent to be a
mere party tool, and he has too much self re-
spect and pride ufopinion to yield in all points
to such contemptiblc politicians as “the anthra-
citc Sinnitnr.” He tlicrcforc very often found
himself in a false posiiion——abettiog the ad-

Raymond, though he refuse to dojusiice to him-

and in early life denied the privilege Oflllc lilélller

His hours oflcisure have not been hours ofidlc-

lo the House he rlispliiycd none ofili it bit.tc.r-
ncss offeeling so coiiiiiioii to his associzites. and
as at any rate euIit.led to their own opinions and
the ordinary civilitics of life. He rose often in
debate. and gcncrzilly at the i’igli-t time. His
speeches were brief, pointed, sensible and some-
times sarcastic. occasi-uially humorous. and al-
ways free from scurrility. tliougli when his argu-
.,)e},i3;1;j his side were iiiailc to appear the
weaker, he would manifest ri little impatience,
and aim Z1 side blow at his antagonist. His
principles are for the most part liberal, but a
habit of thinking in fixed trains has imparted
peculiar and oliciitiines narrow ideas to his no-
tions of government. 1’i'ofe.-ssirig to be his own
man, be yet becomes other men’.-: man, by fear-
ing names more than iliiugs. Nothing on cartli
docs hefear so much astlii: hazard of beio,r_v called
a fer/eralist. Rather than incur that. risk. he
would change sides every year. Up to 1833
or ’34 he opposed the national oduiiiiistration
with great vehemeucc, but the Clll'l‘t‘.tlCy tiokers
had resolved to apply the name of fr-deralists to
their opponents and assuuiiug that of di>.iuni_-rats
for tlicinsclvcs. This was too hard for Ray-
mond. Thc ])ri7zciplcs of the \Vlii_2s were in

its nruuc renders it less galliug than it otherwise
would be. \Vc.ll may he ask. “wlizit’s in a

changed that the credit we have enjoyed abroad
is no longer extended, and the products with

there is an imperious obligation resting upon all

acts like an honest man in the premises. is doing
something towards its payment. And iliis istlie
operntion which Mr Kendall stigmattzes-as
uupatriotic and degrading.
The Postinaster General cannot be more
stcruly opposed to runiiiug in debt to Europe than
we are. \Ve wish it wertrimpossible. Credit

quite as much as Mr. K. But this is no reason
why those who owe should not pay their di:bts..
But. says ajacobin. why should the people be
taxed to pay the inercliaui's debts? The query
is deceptive and fraurlulciit. Nobody is asked
to pay any debts but his own. Those -who owe
nothing may hoard all ilie specie they can get,‘
and laugli at the necessities of their neighbors.
Those who do owe are required to pay-11 not
very pleasant proceeding at all times, but usually
esteemed a matter ofcourse by the lionr-st. The
importers could pay every dollar, and have a
surplus, if their (lCl)lt)l':5 paid thcni in full. But
they will not; so the importi-.rs must fail. carry-
ing with them their creditors across the water,
and thence prostrating many others.
In this state of things specie is rapidly leav-

and occupied two hours nod at half in the dc-

various points lnade in the return and in argu-

on the return to the rule to show cause, sustained
their jiirisiliciion, and qiirzs/zed the 7'ctin'ri., as
being insofriciciu.
The court, then, on motion of Mr. Cone, of
counsel for the rclators, granted :1 ivritof peremp-

for tothem is our present coiidition owing. Let
us look to the facts and see what states hnv:=_
created the rag currency; which has inundated
the coutitry since the destruction ofthc Niitiouiil
Ban k.
The Legislature of Maine, which clcctcd
Messrs. Sheplcy and Riiggles, Jackson Van
Biircn meu,to the United States Senate. in
creased the banking capital of that state from
-$32,050,000 to $3.5-19.8-30.
The Legislature of New Hampshire, at the
some time increased the bonkiu_-__r capital ofihat
state from $1,791,970 to $2,G:35,l)68i.
The Legislature of Couiiecticut wliicli elcctcrl
John M. Niles to the U. S. Senate, increased
the banking capital oftliat state from S-1,18-3,177
to 87,3-'30,7(it'5.
The Legislature of New-York increased the
banking capital from $25,381.-160 to 47,301,460.
The Legislature of Alabama, which elected
\Vm.,I-1. King to ilie Senate, increased the bank-
ing capital of that state from $613,503 to
$6,l07.623.
The Legislature of Loni.-‘ana, which elected
R. C. Nicholas of the U. S. Senate, also iri-
creased the banking r-zipitiil of that state from
$5.66-3.980 to $27,171,125, and last year to
$17,000,000! I l -
The Legislature of Mississippi, which substi-
tuted Walker for Poinrlcxter in the U. S. Senate.
enlargetl the banking capital of that state from
$950,000 to $5,890,352.
The Legislature of Tennessee enlarged the
_ban king ca, ital from $738,817 to $2,890,381.
The Legislature of Missouri, which sustained
Thomas H. Benton in the Senate has created 21
new State Batik with a capital of$5,000,000.
, The Legislature of Ohio, wliich elected Thus.
Morris to the Senate, addedaboiit $5,000,000 to
its bairkiug capital.
Here, at once. we have the naked truth—tliat
Messrs. Jackson and Van Buren. under the
nzaslc, the plea of furriisliing Gold and Silver its
acirculating medium, have, on the contrary, and
in the ten States, which unhappily, they con-
trolled. augmented the PAPER CAPITAL to
the enormous amount of nearly EIGHT)’-
T\VO M.lLLlON.S ofDollars——illcgally Sf.‘l'l.etl
upon the poo_ple’s money, deposited in the U. S.
Bank. and placed it ‘in those new Briiilis, where
ilic most part ofit is irrecoverably lost, and the
whole of these institutions, of their own make,
have been bankrupted.
Thus we see that in ten states, while under
the control of the supporters ofJackson and Van
Biircn, the ‘banking capital was increased in a
very short period, $81,039,240 dollars. To
accoininodate these Tory institutions. the de-
posites were taken from the United States
Bank and deposited for safe keeping in their
vaiills. The result has been just what every
body_ prcdictcd—ihe prostration of credit, the
destruction of the currency of the country. the
,,,1eas,_ All “,3, Me of "the party" comeout in favor-of soon
restoration ofshin plasters, and wide individual
bankruptcy. How grateful ought we to feel to the
Shin Plaster Pfirly forall the bcnefitsof their
legislation.
In Union is strcnglli.—It is really quite pleas
ant to see how strongly the best and most sensi
views and common sense, and against :1;
absurdities of the anti-bank, hard-money
thorough-going Bentoniies. The noted letter of
Mr. Senator Tallmadge. to the‘ editor oftlie Ar-
gus. in which that gentleman so distinctlv and
emphatically drew off from the visionary im-
practicabilities of the metallic currency doctrine,
has elicited another letter of warm commenda-
tion and hearty concurrence; and this signed
by such a number of “ members of the demo-
cralic republican party," that their names occu-
py two columns and a halfof this morning's
Times. in which the letter is published.
Very many oftlie names are quite new to us;
but among thetri we perceive several dozen the
proprietors of which we know to be men of in-
fluence and understanding, whose opinions are
entitled to respect, iiotwithstaurling the sad mis.
take they have made in politics for the last eight
years. \Ve are glad to seetliem coming so far
over to our side of the fence, and recommend“
them by all means to keep on coming. We
