it be borne in mind, that in the very nature of

Truth, of Palriotisizt, and the prosperity and
happiness ofthe people ; it is sustained by rea-
son, by public and private virtue, and the spirit
which animated oti-r R-evolutionary sires; its
aim is the amelioration of the condition of man,
the rcgeiicration ofour institutions, social, politi-

safest guaranty, that he will not only remain

_ Specie Currcttry given up by the rtrlnzim'stra-
tz0n..—For a long time past, we have heard a
great deal about a ptire metallic currencv, and
about the tiniiring labors of the Naiioniil Ad-
ministration to introduce it. The ‘.Vashington
Globe told us a good while ago, that the time
was coming when rag money should disappear,
and the gold and silver alone-should meet the
eye, and fill the purse. Since that sad catas-
trophe, the suspension of'spec.ie payments bv the
Banks, this has inure particularly been the song
-down with the baiiks—-down with paper-nioney——
away with the trash. Give us nothing but gold
and silver.
But all at once the ttiue is changed. \Ve
have had the golden age postponed froin time to
time; but under all the disappoititmeiits as to its
coming, we have always had the consolation
held out to us, that it ~.certaitily would rronie.-—
But now‘, we are informed by authority., that we
may look for it no longer. The sclicme is abzin.
o
v
'doned,' totally abandoned ; the vision, that has
so long been dazzling us, turns out to be a "base-
less fabric.”
The gratitl Republican Committee. so called,

this itnpoi'tant intelligence. In this address, the
has im- idea ofa specie currency is not merely repudiated, P
it is ridiculed. At the same time, the Globe
makes proclamation that Messrs. Jackson. Van
Biircn, and Benton never intended or approved
of any such s heme. ‘We may therefore lay
this project aside as one of the exploded htim—
bugs of the day. The managers do n0t‘in'.crid “jig is up” with his “democracy,” and he will

purpose very well : but now when the set time
has arrived, and somctliiug more than empty
promises become necessary—tlie curtain is
drawn one side, anti the country is gravely told,
-‘ice rlicl’72t nicmz any thing by it.”
The Banking system is therefore to goon.
Mr. Van Bcren and his party. “ who have
steadily and universally opposed Banks in every
shape,” give it tip. They can stand it no loti-
ger; they have arrived at the pinch; and they
take the ground, that the Banks must live on.
\Ve state the fact ; so it is, incredible as it tiiay
appear. It would hardly do to look into the
Messages, speeches, and newspapers of the last
few years. for the purpose ofextracting the opin-
ionsoftlie leading Van Burcn men. It wonld’nt.
be polite to do itjust now. But it must and will
be done. The promises must be brought forth
to light and be contrasted with the performance.
The result will be tlij... szitiie as in all former
cases. Gen. Ja;-ksoii declared that the appoint-
inentiof nicmbcrs of Congress to oflicc, would
make corrnptioti the order of the day. But
when he came to the sticking poiiit,_lic found that
he clirl’-nt mean so, and forty or fifty members of
Congress, have taken office at the hands of the
man, who pronotinced such an act, corruption.
Gen. Jackson promised to hold the Presidency

Is the inquiry inade——what is ilic upshot of all
this? Is not the measure an obvious one?
The upshot of it is—a grand Governnienial,

TORY 'l‘RU’l“:':l. .
The piety of the Globe and sundry prints of
kindred veracity, has been most grievously shock-
ed.a.t. Mr. Webstcr’s having visited the garrison
at St. Louis on a Suntlay. The following arti-
cle from the N. Y. Giizette, givcs the true state-
ment of the niatter. These sanctiinonious edi-
tors had better use a little of‘thr_=ir piety in truth-
lf:ll'l7Ig, instead of expending it in wide-niouthcd
exclamations of horror at breaches of the Sub-
bt1tll,WlllCll were fabricated by thciiiselves for
political effect. This is l'll.l.lt(-‘I‘ too much like
Pilgarlic’s raising the cry of “ Stop thief!”
“ VVe have thought proper, through a friend,
to call Mr. VVebstei-’s attention to the publica-
tions, in the Globe and other papcr‘s,‘whicli rep-
resent him as having made a.visit to a garrison
near St. Louis on a Sunday, and are authorisczl
by him to say that there is‘ not a particle of
truth in the whole story. Mr. \V. visited the
Jeffersonian barracks on his way to St. Louis,
and paid his respects to Gen. Atkinson, the coin-
manding ot‘ficer._ ‘It was not on a Suiiday, nor
was there any military parade ‘.Vl'l3t6.‘:\-‘Bl’. Nor
has Mr. VVebstci' visited any public plaice but a
clitirch, on Sunday, at any_ period or place_o-f his
journey. It is true he arrived at Buffalo in the
beard two good sermons in the course of the
day. \Ve hope the editors of the Globe and
Argus were as well employed.”
The Utica 0.bsiet'vei°, a thorough going V-an

“ It is to be regretted that the plll)llC})l'=i?SSllt1S

LA3lE?€'I‘ABLE PRED!CAl‘tlENT.
The wiseacrc of the Bridgeport Farnier says :
“Our opponents are exulting at the prospect
of a ‘rupture,’ as they term it, in the demo-
cratic ranks on the subject of Banks.”
Rather behind the liglit-liouse, Mr. Farmer——
tlie rctrosjicct, (not the “prospect,”) affords us
sotne satisfaction,to be sure; but it is mingled,
after all, with such a peculiar S6"l0-C0121}-.C0 feel-
ing of compassion for the poor devils of “the
party” who have been so cgregiously liumbugged
by the big bugs-—-tliat we are puzzled to decide
whether it is a. matter ofmirth or lachrymation.
\Vhy, in the name of all that is fair in the Van
Buren school of politics, did not the Globe, be-
fore it changed front itself, issue previous orders
to its SUl)iLllLCl'llS, to “ right about face,” that the
niovemeiittlirougliout the whole administration
corps editorial might have been sititultatzcous, in-
stead of obliging them to adopt the militia-like
tactics of sheep going over a stone-wall ’.l The
sudden and unexpected “ flare up” ofthe Globe,
so far as its iindcrstrappers were conccriied,was
altogether a cruel afl’air-—-and nothing but the
cxigeiicy of the case can palliate it-—for it; can-
not be justifical. It was particularly er-ueliii the
case of the inclcpcizcilcnt Farmer, whose former
subset-vicncy to “the party” and ready obedi-
ence to all orders frpm hcad -quarters, should
have spiircd him the liuiniliating niortificatioii of
finding himself still vigorously cornbattiiig a
“monster” of a foe, which his valiant general
has been thumped iiite confessing was, after till:
but—-a urinal-nzi,/l.
The Fariner has all along insisted upon it that
there could be no “ violation of'faitli” in repeal-
ing a bank charter, and that the idea of “vested
rights” was all at matter of m0Ot'lSl1_lnC. And
very recently in speaking of 0. National Bank,
he says :
“Experience has dernoiistrated that such an
institution is not necessary as afiscal agent of
Government. It is said the mCl'Cl1t).I)l.d want
stich an establishment to fa.cilit.iite their exchang-
es. So they want canals and rail roads to fit-
cilitate transport:tt.ion. The General Govern-
ment has its much authority to make one as the
other. Money is mercliandize as much as hats
and shoes, and Government tiiity incorporate
companies to tn:.tke one as well as ttie other.”
Here he repudiatcs the idea that Banks . are
necessary, or that governnieiit has any authority
to ~incorporate them ; and in the same breath he
says that if something of the kind should get
through Congress, “it; will be vetoed by the
President.” If he honestly entcrtttiiis these
sentiments, we trust he will persist in them.——
But; if he does, he is at swordls points with the
Government Fuglcr, who says :
“Banks cannot be dispeiised with except at
the sacrifice of all justiceiiii regard to the cori-
tracts made under ti. mixed currency, nor without
a violation of the flllllb pledged in the legislation.

tablished.” ‘

men on the public buildings at VV38ltlllglL0l},
went down to Baltimore upon liberal wages and
expenses paid, to vote for the atliiiitiitttratioii
candidates. It. is known, too, that the immense
wealth of the Tory CI1tl£ll(l8.i.(‘S in that district
was brought to bear directly npoii the election,
and this in connection with the fact that there
are 2'000_jbrci_gn votes in the city, of which the
Van Burcnites have managed to avail themselves:
accounts for the “ glorious ~V,lC-wry.” Bu‘. it

terfering with the elective frtnicliise of the peo-
ple,

differerit from what we anticipated. VV e had
reason to expect that the VVliigs would carry

have been, by the aid and instrumentality ofun-
qualiftcd voters, and a band of mcrccnay ll.'l'I‘Cli)lg8
from other places, we must bear our cordial
testimony to the activity, energy, and enthusi-
astic devotion to their cause which yesterday
distinguished the Whigs of Baltirnorc. Altho’

the qualified electors of Baltimore. But to the

ty purse who lavishly squaiitlered money on their
