.L._$ may as well attempt to make the government breathe adifferent air’, drink a different water, be lit and warrricd by a different sun, from the people! Ahard-money government and a pa- per-money people! A government, an oflicial corps-—the servants of the people—glittcriiig in gold, and the people themselves, their masters, buried in ruin, and surrounded with rags ! ‘ _ No prudent or practical government will in its measures run counter to the long settled. habits and usages of the people. Religion, lan- guage, laws, the established currency and busi- ness ofa whole country, cannot bc_eas_ily or sud- denly uprooted. After the denomination of our coin was clianged to dollars and cents, many years elapsed before the old method of keeping accounts, in pounds, shillings and pence, was abandoned. And to this day, there are probably some men of the last century who adhere to it. If a fundanienal change becomes n-.:i‘.~‘sul'y,. it should not be sudden, but conducted by slow and cautious degrees. The people of the Uni- ted States have been always a paper money peo- ple. And it'tlie experience of the revolutionary war convinced our ancestors,as we are convinced, of the evils of an irreleemable paper medium, it was put aside only to give place to that convert- ible paper which has so powerfully contributed to our rapid advancement, prospi:rity,and greatness. The proposed substitution of an exclusive me- tallic currency to the mixed medium, with Wlllcll we have been so long familiar. is forbidden by the principles of eternal justice._ Assuming ‘the currency of the country to consist of two-thirds of paper and one of specie ; and assuming also that the money of a country, whatever may be its component parts, regulates all values, and ex- presses the true amount which the debtor has to pay his creditor the effect ofthe change upon that relation and upon the property ofthe coun- try would be most ruinous. All property would be reduced in value to one-third of it present nominal amount and every deotor would in effect have to pay three times as much as he had couract- ed for. The pressure of our foreign debt would be three times as great as it is. While U19 5“ hundred millions, which is about 010 SUI" “OW robably due to the banks from the people, would e multiplied into eighteen llllfltllf-‘.’.(.l millions. But there are some more specific ()l)jf3cll0l1a to this project. of sub-treasuries, which deserve to be noticed. The first of which is its insecurity. The sub-treasurer and his bondsnien constitute the only guaranty for the immense sums of pub- lic money which pass through in his hands.—— Is this to be compared with that which is possess-d through the agency of banks? The collector, who is to be sub-treasurer, pays the the money to the bank, and the bank to the dis- bursing ollicer. Here are three checks. You ropose to destroy two of them, and that most importantofall, the bank, with its machinery of president, directors. cashier, teller and clerks, all of whom are so many seniinels. At the very moment when the Secretary of the Treasury tells us how well his sub-treasury system works, he has communicated to Congress a circular, signed by hiiiiself. exhibiting his distrust in it ; for he directs in that circular that the public moneys. when they amount to a large sum. shall bé sp=edily deposited with the very banks which he would repudiate. In the state of Ken- tucky. (other gentlemen can speak of their re- spective states) although it has existed but about forjy-five years, tiirce treasurers, selected by the legislature for their established characters of honor and probity, proved faiihless. And the history of the delinquency ofone, is the history of all. It commenced in human weakness. yielding to earnest solicitations for temporary loans, with the most positive assurance of a punctual return. In no instance, was there originally any interi- tion to defraud the public. We should not ex- pose poor weak human nature to snc_,_l_i tempta- tions. How easy will it be, as has been done, to indemnifv the suretics out of the public money, and squander the‘ resgidue ? s‘, -'I~. ~ .-_ .-.) r-..'.'.-.-.».'

Hundreds and thousands of new officers are to be created : for this bill is a mere coin- mencement of the system, and all are to be placed under the direct control ofthe ’resideni. The Senator from South Carolina, (Mr. Cal houn) thinks that the Executive is now weak, and that no danger is to be apprehended from its atronage. I wish to God I could see the sub- ject in the same light that he does. I wish that . I could feel free from iliat alarm of Executive encroachments, by which he and Iwcre so re- cently animated. Whcn and how, let me ask. hasihat power, lately so fearful and formidable , suddenly become so weak and liarmless ?— Where isthat corps of one hundred thousand of- fice-holders and dependents, whose organized strength, directed by the will of a single man. was lately held upiti such vivid colors and power- ful language by a report made by the Senator himself? When were they disbanded ? \Vhai has become of prescription? Its victims may be exhausted, but the spirit and ilie power which sacrificed them remain unsubdued. What of the dismissing power? ‘What ofthe veto ? Of ~ that practice of withholding bills, contrary to the constitution, still more reprehensible than the abuse of the veto? Oftrcasurv order.-7, put in force and maintained in defiance and con- tempt of the legislative authority? And, al- though last, not least, of that expunging power which degraded the Senate, and placed it at the feet ofthe Executive '.’ - Which ofall these enormous powers and pre- ‘tensions has the present chief magistrate dis- avowed? So far from disclaiming any one of them, has he not announced his intention to fol- low in the very footsteps of his predecessor I- And has he not done it? Was‘ it against the ersonof Andrew Jackson that the Senator from South Carolina so ably cooperated with tlS ? No, sir. no, sir, no. It was against his usurpations, as we believed them. against his arbitrary ad- rriinistration, above all, against the tremendous and frightftil augmentation of power of the Exe- cutive branch oftlie Governincut, that we put- riotically but vainly contended. The person‘ of the chief magistrate is changed, but there stands the Executive power. perpetiinted in all its vast magnitude, iindiniinislietl. reasscrted, and over- shadowing all the other departments of the Go- vernment. Every trophy which the late Presi- dent won from them now decorates the Execu- tive mansion. Every power, which he tore ‘from a bleeding constitution, is now in the Exc- cntive armory. ready, as time and occasion may prompt the existing incnm bent, whoever he may be.!to be thundered against the liberties of the people. ' ' , Whatever may have been the motives ofthr-. course of others, I owe it to rnysclfand to truth to say. that, in deprecnting the election of Gen. Andrew Jackson to the office of chief magis- trate. it was not from any private considerations, but because I considered it wculd be a great calamity to my country ; and that. in whatever opposition 1 made to measures of his administra- tion, which niorethan realized my very worst apprehensions. I was guided solely by a sense of public duty. And ldo now declare my solemn and unshaken conviction, that until the Execu- tive power. as enlarged. extended. and consoli- dated by him. is reduced within its true constitu- tionnl limits. there is no permanent security for the liberties and happiness of the people.

In the House, at the close of last evening's iriail, Mr. Wise was addressing the committee of the whole, in some very good huniored remarks, "on the explosion of Mr. l3enton's bubble; the bill immediately underconsideration beinga bill making furilier appropriations for the year .1837. Mr. \Vise then asked the attention of the coin- mittee to an additional appropriation of-$310,000, to defray additional expenses ofthe Stiiitlisoriian hflission to London. )1 r. \Vise moved to strike out this appropria- tion; which inoiiori was rejected by the coin- mittee—-yeas 65. uays '7-1. Mr. Cost Johnson rose to contrast the charac- ter of the appropriations contained in thishill. with the promises held outand the pledges given by ilin President ofthe United States, and the Secretary of the Treasury, and kept the House in one continued roar oflauglitcr for upwards of an hour. Among other things, Mr. J. said that there was one promise which the Secretary of the Treasury had not redeemed. He had informed the representatives ofthe people, in :1 letter acl- ‘ dressed to the Clerk ofthe House, that they, at least. should receive in gold and silver, the com- pensation to which they were entitled for their trouble in coming here. He (Mr. J.) felt it proper to declare, that with all that otIticer’s knowledge of the amount of the per diem and mileage of nicnibers of Congress, the promise inrule in the letter referred to, had been absolute- ly falsified. The Seci‘et.nt'v lizid deceived them : he had not acted up to the pledge given in his card to the public—his golden manifesto. The Secretary, tlierefore, had either published what he knew to be false at the time, or he had pub- lislied that which, in the result. had jroved to be a falsehood. Ifthen. with quill and paper in his hand, and with all the means ofiuforniation about him, the Secretary could not tell what ttmountof gold would be required to pay ilie members of Congress for one or two months, were we to pin our faith to him in statements which it ere to run for years? From curiosity, or probably from interest, Mr. Johnson had asked the Sergeant-at-Arms (Mr. Dorsey,)—thau whom. he would take occasion to say. a more honorable man, or more elficierit officer did not exist—wlicthcr he could get his mileage and per dicni to-iriorrow-—Oh.' no, not to-morrow, said J. because. it is Sunday, and you area Cl‘.-l‘lSl1aD, Mr. Cliairnizin—but on Monday? He (Mr. J.) regretted to be under the painful necessity of inforiiiing this House that the cold mine was exhausted ; that the Ser- _(_'G.aIll-‘cll?Al‘lI]S told him that he could give him notes of the Bank of the Metropolis-—iliai very District paper, said Mr. I. which your Exc- cutivc and some ofyour party wished to be im- molated upon the shrine of your cternalven- geance——that very money which they tell you should be blotted out from the face of the earth, is the only money which I have been ollered for my services here. Is such tl fraud as this to be practised upon the Ameri(:aii people_? Is this the man who is to lead us through the wilder- ness of unccrtziiri doubt, in wliich we are in- volved? \Vill you pin your faith to a man who has so abomiuably deceived the representatives of the people? Fraud on fraud, tlcceptiori on deception, trick on irick,stratageni on stratagem, have been practiced on you and on me, Mr. Cliairman. and not upon us alone, but upon those who sent you and me here. 1 want to see such a man taken head and heels, and thrown into ilie Potomac.

(‘What rank hypocrisy.) The usual messages were interchanged be- tween the two Houses, and at 10 o'clock th House adjourned. ODDS AND ENDS.

But the position somehow or other did not suit the mas- ter, nnd ustastcs occasionally vary, so did his, and he betliought him oflinotlier tree, the frtiit of which he should like above all things to pre- serve. Accordingly, scarcely had he laid his head on his pillow, when the change was deter- mined on, and ere long the man trap was trans- ferred.

Mr. \Vise moved to rcdi.-cc the Smithsonian appropriation from ten ihousniid to five thousand dollars, and asked Mr. Cainbreleng to accept this modification. ‘ Mr. Cambreleng did so and the was ngrei.-tl to. The committee then rose and reported the hill to the House. The House cont.-orred with the comuiittee of the whole in its flmffl-'lll’)GDl, and the bill was read a third time and passed.

And, at a snhscqnciit smgc ofthe proceedings,’ the bill, liaviug been reported to the House, was read a iliiid time and passed. Mr. Canibrclciig asked the committee to take up, at this tiiue, the bill rcir.itiing the duties on goods destroyed by the confl.-igrzition in the city of New York. The question was then taken on the motion to lay the bill aside, and was rejected-—yeas 69, nays 67. The House then took up the Deposite Bank bill, from the further consideration of which the committee of the whole hail been discharged, and after some debate, the bill was passed with an amendment proposed by.Mr. Johnson, of Lotiisiana, to the 2d seciiori, providing that the instalments should be paid on the 1st of July next ; the second on the 1st of January, 1839; and the third on the 1st of .l uly, 1839. The bill was then sent to the Senate, who concurred in the amendment, and adrled ziuotlier.

It is really very amusing to witness the ri- diculous figure wliich the Loco-Focos make of themselves, when they attempt to evade the ra- dical and revolutionary doctrines which are at- tributed totlicin. They stoiitly deny what is charged upon them, and in the same breath plead guilty to all that is obnoxious in the principles An Irish- man was prohibited by his landlord from cutting which they are reputed to advocate. a window in the side of his house to admit more light; but in spite of the prohibition, he went to work; and after his object was accomplished at- tempted to pnlliate his conduct bysaying—“ that it was not to 8t!l‘.lll-.lllC light, at all, but that he made the liolejist to le't_tbe tlarkncss out.” So with these very rational gentlemen of the Loco- Foco school. Theirs is not a levelling system, to be sure, but one dbsigiieil to place the mass of the people on an equality with those whose iti- dustry, talents or education have raised theiri to eminence. And this very pliilaiitliropic design is to be accomplished by the very harmless me- thod of repealing all those laws. which now give stabiliy and security to those institutions which are the basis of civilized society. The Boston Post says, “The only levelling system which we approve. is that which would consist in such a modification of all unequal laws, as shall cause all citizens to commence life on an equal footing, save that inequality which nature her- self has made." A small matter, this, indeed ! It is only the system of Fanny Wright! All we wantjs an equal division of property .' Some of the Tory papersare now indorsing this senti- ment as “true Democracy!” And yet the sober. considerate portion of community are not to be alarmed.’ And the authors and advocates of such radical and disorganizing doctrines rriiist be perinitterl to monopolize the name of T'rue"Demo- crals—and denounce all who do not adopt their vile heresies and participate in their foul orgies, as Aristocrais, anil enetriiestothe rights of man!

Last year the House of Representatives stood, 72 Loco-Focus, no 28 \Vhigs. This year it will probably stand 54 Loco Focos, to 46 Whigs. The VVhigs have his late message as advocating its views, and avows its determination to stand or liill by its doctrines. The late extra session has proved its strength and recklessness; and it only remains to be seen wlicther the people will meckly bow their heads to iliis demon of desolaiion——and whether they are so possessed with apathy as to submit without a struggle fortlieir deliverance. to the wild tornado of Loco-Focoism whichtlircat- ens to sweep before it all the most cherished in- stitutions of the country. Let the considerate and reflecting portion of community, ponder well, ere they utter a syllable or raise a finger, in support of any man who is even suspected of this deadly taint. Be not deluded into its support under the specious guise of “'Dcinoci'ar:.y.”— There is no Democracy about it. It is a mortal foe to Democracy. It lays an axe at the root of the Tree of American Liberty, and seeks to blight, wither and destroy its most precious fruits. From the Jlfuclisonirzii. The history of mankind shows. that no purity ofindi\~'idual character is exempt frotn the as- saults of the vicious, and the history ofthe world gives proof that no purity of religion. no excel- lence in government can stay the restless spirit of the infidel, or the revolution-tiry cravings of unsatisfied and diseased factions. It was to have been hoped, that in the perfection of our own form of government, we might have been free from the agitations of the factions and the schemes of the vicious, which have been rife in the old world—-but we, too, are destined to en- counter these I.l'UlliS, though they may only touch the surface, and after a brief existence, be lost in insignificance and infamy. . Our day of trial is at hand, and the following brief btit pregnant extract gives the sum and substance of the doctrines of the Loco-Focos: “That all debts be declared debts of honor, that the judiciary be reformed, and precedents abolished. that the public domain be free to ac- tual settlers. and that a State Convention be held in Utica on the 2d Monday in Sept. next, to devise a new constitution, which shall be has- ed solely upon a principle of right of conscience. and which shall recognize neither law nor the le- gal protection of property.” . This vile and atrocious code should be read and pondered upon, by every man throughout the wide spread land. They are not the utopian dreams of one man, and he a distempered en- thusiast; they are the doctrines of a party, or- ganized and concerted. '1‘heir aim is not to par- tial localities, or to a brief duration; they are reaching out to the entire pervasioo of our coun- try, and their conquest is for all future time.——- The beaiitifnl temple of our social edifice, —the altars of our sacred religion, the structure ofoui civil code, and the arm of our federal compact are struck at with sacrilegidiis vandalism. Are we prepared by anyicourse of degradation; are we prepared by any stage of infamy, to submit to this polluted and destroying revolution? In the name of tliarspirit which gave us the liberty we enjoy-.—in the name of those fathers who framed our government, and by the cherished hopes of civil and religious liberty throughout the world, we answer, NO, But a successful resistance to this pestilence is not to be gained by a passive reliance upon the strength of our position, orthe weakness ofthe as- sault. The destroying cancer is first seen as a small abrasion on the surface, and the incendia- gained 18 fmcmbers, making a change of 36 votes. In the Senate there are 19 W'liigs, to 14 LOCO-Focus.
