And here I ran against another snag. But.
said Mr. Hand, I would like to have you go and

result will be, for we have never liad_ the like

well, for I could,not help thinking all the time
that Uticle Sam had the advantage of me.-
However, after a moment’s reflection, I recollect-
ed that I was only one of the common people,
and this was all reconciled, and then I went on
very well, and the mile, or nearly so, that I had
to walk, seemed quite short. _

business, never thought to put my ltat under my
arm, or kiss the floor, but I told Uncle Sam's
agent tliatl owed him ninety dollars, and wish-
ed him to take his note, and give the ten dollars.
And, strange and ‘ridiculous as it will appear, he
refused totake the note, and pay tiie back ten
dollars. And wlienl inquired what in the name
of the people I had to do. he very coldly remark-
etl——“ Oh, you can go to the brokers and buy the
C‘ specie." And I did so-—yes. 1 did so, and then
wentthe third time, and finally sitcceeded in de-
positing ninety dollars.
I All these things are facts as they actually took
place three days ago. Anti I now go home to

system, and to tell my friends to subminlfor they
are nothingbut common people.

Good again! No man in his sober senses
doubts that the prostration of Van.Burenism in
the native state ofthe President “ will have the

tendency to restore confidence between man and

0;‘? We learn that the Loco-Focos of Hart-
ford County, held a grand council at Hartford,
atwhich some flaming resolutions were passed.
By our exchange papers, it appears that the do-
ings of said Convention have been publishedin
the Times——but not receiving that print in ex-
change for ours, we have not read their resolu-
tions. We give the following sketch of the pro-
ceedings from the Hartford Courier, furnished
by a correspondent;
THE LOCO-F000 POVVOVV.
Mr. Editor-Did you attend the Convention of
office holders on '1'htirsday last 7 Ifyou did not,
yoti can nevcrlell what you have lost. " The feast
of rotten and the flow of soul." was probably never
witnessed or enjoyed more perfectly than on that
occasion. The aS.'iE‘ml)l2tgt: appeared to be one of
almost pure intellect. The only "animal matter”
discoverable in the Coiiveiition, with the exception
of Deacon Pitiney and the State’: Attorney, was in
‘very minute liltrlfl, and much tsctittei-ed. _
‘Blif0I'0 I attempt to describe the eulertcinment,l
will mention the oi-gaiiizatioii. One of the Judges
of the County Court,tlien in session, left the Court,
to preside over the deliberations of the Convention;
Jesse Oliiey, Richard Niles, and John Mather, all
Justices of the Peace, and one ofthem :1 member of
the Assembly, acted as Vice Presidents. Two
Secretaries. one of theme Judge of Probate and
Quarter Master General, and the other a Post Mas-
ter and member of Assembly, graced the platform,
iiliilc the Attorney ofthe State for Hartford County
was Chairman of it cominitteeto report resolutions.
The resolutions reported were full of pluck and
patriotism; btit not hearing tliein distinctly, [can-
not say whether they resolved that the result
ofthe New York election was cause of unfeigned
joy to the Democracy, or whether they considered
the " little town meetings" in this State as at ground
of encotirageint-tit. I I
The first speech was from the Attorney, and I
suppose it was real “ btmcum,” but his eloquence
poured forth in such a torrent, that I could only
catch the following part of a sentence: " Mr. Pie
sidcnt, in this matter an oriental star has arisen in
the west."
Doctor Niles ofthe U. S. Senate, followed, anti
mourned over the fall of " the party," w.tli as deep
and sincere u sorrow. as did Mark Atitliony over the
dead body ol'(‘aasur. He said, “ I am ashamed to
say it, the party in New York have been corrupted
and bought up by the Banks, and almost annihi-
lated, but this is only temporary.” [I did not ex-
actly understand the meaning of a temporary atini-.
liilation, but no (.l3l.lllI the doctor did.] “And Maine,
too, has gone over to the etinmy 3'' He consoled
|iinisell'liow-ever, by repeating some 15 or 20 times,
that he had “ no fears of Connecticut; the Democ-
racy of Connecticut was made of sterner stuff than
to be bought,or to sink under adversity.” in one
part of his speech, he warned the faithful that they
were in great danger in this State, and then repeat-
cdlylassured them that there was no danger. In one
part ofltls speech, :1 National Bank was spoken of
as inefiicient and powerless, and unable to regulate
the currency, and in uitotlier part it was clothed with
omnipotence, would place itself at the head of 800
State Brinks, and sweep every thing before it! But
when the Setiator came to speak of GOLD, he broke
forth in a strain ofeloquence wholly indescribable.
He did not say, “ Gold, Mr. President, is gold—l
say, sir, gold, slr. is—-gold! out he did come to the
conclusion that gold is no liuinbug—spoaking proba-
bly from his own experience.
The Senator was tollowed by the Congressional
Rvprescuttttive, who began by saying that “ every
man, woman, and child in the country wss suffering
under the most gross fraud and tyranny from the
Banks, and were it not for the stern necessity under
which they were laboring, the people would not bear
it— that the foreign debt would soon be paid, and if
the banks did not then redeem their notes, the peo.
ple would sweep them froru existence.” He shed
some tears over Maine and New York, but he, like
the other speakers, forgot Massucltusctts, Rhode
Island, the southern and western states, and the
“ little town meetings” in Connecticttt. He was
comforted. however, with the thought that “ De-
mocracy always was depressed in times of adversi-
ty, and always flourished in seasons of prosperity,”
and that New York would come right as soon as the
_B(ll'll(S resumed specie payment.
A plain man who held no otfice, next rose, and
made some assertions about the capital and circula-
tion of the Banks,that really electrified his audi-
ence, and caused them to start with wonder. that a
man could soberly make such statements without
blushing. Poor man—-he knew no better.
The Secretary of the Senate “closed the con-
cern,” in a speech peculiarly chaste. classical and
dignified. “ We hear,” said he, “the shouts of
victory ; the American flag waves over Federal
Hall, and the Whigs are collected together like a
peck ofclams in a hot sun. We have a set of men
among us claiming to belong to our party, calling
themselves Conservatives. They profess to love Mr.
Van Buren, but damn his measures. They are not
satisfied to be either on earth or in heaven, so they
have suspended themselves by the neck between-
both, where they are swinging, the scorn and derision
of both parties. The Conservatives tell us we must
reform the abuses ofthe Banks a lcetle at atime.
This reminds tne ofthe man who ordered his servant
to cut his dog’s tuil off. and on examining the dog
two weeks after, he found the wound yet fresh. To
his inquiries, his servant replied, he was afraid it
would hurt to'cut. the tail all offat once, so be had
cut it ofI'a lectle at a time.” - .
The resolutions were then adopted, nem, con., and
ordered to be publisliediu all “ democratic” papers,
the oflicers abdicated their seats, and the treat was
ended.
Much of the pleasure! experienced on this inte-
resting occasion, arose from listening to the surpass-
ing eloquence ol Mr. Niles. His voice and manner
lsliall not attempt to describe, but he was quite as In
tninous as the Hibernian legislator, who said, “ Mr.
Spakitr, when l spake of posteritv, I «do not mane
only those who shall lmmetliittety precede us"; but]
inane to include our rcmole ancestors.” On the
whole, I must say that the eulogitiin passed upon
him in one ofthe resolution, falls far short of his de
serts. - Q.
From the Alton Republican.
S1‘. Louis, Nov. 10, 1837.
ABOLITION EXCITEMENT AT ALTON.-We subjoin_
the following copy ofa letter from :1 friend at Alton '
“ ALTON, Wednesday evening. Nov. 8.
“ Yesterday morning at 4 o’clock, P. M., a fourth
ttbolitioii press was lauded from the Missouri Fulton,
and put into Godfrey, Gilmttn &. Co’s. wareliouse
under the guard of the friends of Mr, Love_ioy.—
During the day of yesterday much excitement. pre-
vailcd, and during the evening many individuals
20 friends of the cause, and when the attack was
made, Mr. Lovejoy firedfrom It window and shot
down a Mr. Bishop. 'I‘|ie populace infuriated at
this. and not being able to make entrance, set
fire to the building. The individual who applied the
torch to the roof was about to be fired upon (or was
fired ttpon)- by Mr. Lovejoy, when be, Mr. L. receiv-
ed_a mortal wound from seine one of the assailants.
Two others inside ieceived wounds, but not danger-
ous. 'I'lie_press was tlten aziven up and tlestroyod.
'l‘o day, we have peace and quietness, and trust in
God it may continue.” ,
in addition to the foregoing, we learn that the
crowd attacked the house of Messrs. Godfrey, Gil-
man &,Co. about 11 o’clock in the night. btit finding
it defended, they retired. In a short time afterivards
the attack was renewed. At each time no v-iolence
was inanifcsted exceptto demand the press. Those
in the house having refused to give up possession,
and having expressed their determination to resist,
it was resolved by the assailants to set fire to the
building. For this purpose a ladder \V as raised, and
a fire kindled on the roof. '1‘ he , fire when first
kindled did not bu_rn freely, aiida second person
ascended to add fuel toit. While he was in the act
of asceiitling the ladder, the Rev. Mr. Lovcjoy came
out of the house and stood opposite the S. W. corner
of the building.
He fired from this position several times, atthc
man ascending, but without effect. A man from
behind a pile of lumber on the wharfl-elow, firetl at
Mr. L.; the gun was charged with two balls. both of
which entered Mi-. L.’s body, near or in the chest.
Mr. L. dropped the gun he was in the act offiring,
ran up into the house, and as he reacltcd the Clerk’s
room fell on the threshold and expired instantly.
Those in the house now proposed su_rrciidering, if
the fire was put out. The crowd witliotit ascended,
anti carried water in their hats to extinguish the
flttines. The doors were then thrown open, and as
the crowd ruslicd in, two guns were fired by some
of those cntei-iiig. The ball from one of the guns
lodged in the aiicle ofa Mr. Rolf, one of the defend-
ers of the house, andit is yet doubtful, whether he
will not lose his leg. The other ball lodged in the
foot of Mr. Weller, Several other persons in the
house were injured, in attempting to escape. As
soon as the crowd had gained possession, they took
the press, broke it up into many pieces, and threw it
into the river. All then dispersed, and by 2 in the
morning the town was aguin quiet.
.'1‘lie Mayor, we learn, was on the ground, attempt-
ing to arrest the disttirbers, but without effect." He
narrowly escaped being wounded or killed, as a ball
perforated his hat.
Mr. Lovejoy and Mr. Bishop were both interred
yesterday, and every thing seemed] to indicate that
the storm had subsided. Report states that Mr. L.
on the evening preceding his death had agreed to
leave Alton and remove his press, but was tlissuaded
by Dr. Beecher and some others from doing so, on
the ground, that the war had been commenced there,
,’,',-,3 ,~,-,-,5; be teriitinated there. I
If the press had not been suireiidered, a large
amount of property must have been destroyed, as
the stone ll0'lS8 in which the press was, contained
more than $100,000 worth of goods, exclusive of
the value of the buildiiw. A

Gold and Silver, and Treasury Noles.—\Vlien
Gen. Jackson was, for the curse of this nation,
elected to the Presidency, the wages of labor. as
well as the circulation of commerce, were in kind
and degree equal to gold and silver. Bank
notes were convertible, and whenever occasion
required it, were actually converted into hard
money. But thisstate of things was not thought
good enough by the President and his advisers-
aud they resolved upon improving it. Now,
witliotit going here into the question, whether or’
not there was ground for belief feigned or felt.
that the United States Bank was intriguing for a
recharter—and that to accomplish such a result,
it was entering into the political arena—it may
certainly be contended, that speculative projects
ofimprovement, and much less any imaginary
evils in prospect, and which mightor might not
be realized, could justify such an experiment
upon the currency and credit of the whole coun-
try, as was necessarily involved in the destruc-
tion, as brought about, of this Bank. No wise
man, in his own affairs. would knowingly put
at hazard certain prosperity in the hope of mak-
ing that prosperity greater; and no honest man.
"entrusted with the management of other people’s
affairs, would try experiments upon them, which
he would not try upon his own. .
It was therefore, in our judgment, neither
honest nor wise to do what Gen. Jackson and
Mr. Van Buren hotlt undertook and accomplish-
ed—aii entire-change in the currency. and the
substitution for what was of uniform value, and
of universal circulation—United States Bank
notes when receivable by the Goverriment—-of
local bank notes, only known and current in the
viciuities where they were issued.
It is, indeed, very. probable—from the tenor
of the language now held by the administration
presses, and from the nature of the grand panacea
proposed for the national prostration induced by
their own misdeeds—that Mr. Van Buren and
his friends are now satisfied that it was not wise
to try the experiment they did, of killing a U.
S. Bank in order to give life and power to in-
numerable State Banks. But, inasmuch as they
were forewarned of the consequences, almost
literally, and to a day, of their mad experiment-—
and then floated their warnings, as the artifices
of -tpanic-makers,” “rag-barons,” “ aristocrats.”
&c.—-we insist, that instead of attention being
diverted toa new series ofexperiments they wish
to try, they shall be held to the consequences of
the former one. and by those consequences be
judged.
\Ve again, then—hearing in mind this condi-
tion-—repeat, that at the commencement of the
rule of Jae/rsom'.sm, our universal currency was
convertible, and whenever occasion required,
was converted into hard moue_v—-and we ask
why it is not so now '1
Mr. Van Buren and his friends pledged them-
selves that it should be even better than this.
They promised to roll floods of gold up the
Mississippi--they said that every farmer and
every farrner’s wife should have the “yellow
gold shining through the interstices of their silk
net ptirses.”
How have these promises been redeemed 1
It is literally true, that the only gold latterly
seen was paid-by the Secretary of the Treasury
to members of Congress—and it is as true, that
it was openly sold by some of them at a pre-
mium of five or six per cent. to brokers near at
hand for the ptirpose—while the mechanic, the
day laborer, the soldier, the sailor, and all whom
distance from the capital, -or position, reader
comparatively incapable of making their griev-
ances known, are paid in rags! » Yet it was not
for members of Congress—it was not for office-
holders merely—that the constitutionalcurrency,
as it is called, was established—but for all alike.
If, then, all alike do not now receive it, it is be-
cause Mr. Van Buren and his partizans, not
content to let well alone, have gone on from step
to step in improvement fl) until the constitution-
al currency is now altogether in the hands ofthe
Executive Government.
"Now, then, is the time-for the people to insist,
meat the promises of their public servants have
not been fulfilled ; and when invited and coaxed
by the administration press, to try them yet a
little longer, to make answer, that they have
been tried and found wauting—and that suffer-
ing enough lias resulted from the experiments
nowin progress, to deter the nation from embark-
ing in that new and untried expedient new pro-
posed by the President and his counsellors, of
Divorce ofthe Government from the People.-

TROUBLE IN CANADA.
T/tejirsl blood shccl.
The Queen’s government in the Provinces
have corrimcnccd the issue of warrants for the
arrest ofthe leaders ofthe Papineau party. Some
arrests-—-probably about a dozen had been made
upto Saturday last, the majority ofthem quietly.
But in the conveyance of persons arrested, from
a small village to Montreal, the party consisting
of 18 mounted soldiers and a constable, sudden-
ly found themselves close to a party ofabout 300
revolutionists, who were awaiting them in a
field by the road side, protected by a hi,9,li fence,
and armed with rifles and muskets. They at-
tetiipted to pass, but were fired upon. and forced
to fall back. It was impossible to return the fire.
as the cavalry could do no execution with pis-
tols, and the fence prevented their- charging
sword in hand. In turning to_ retreat the wagon
in which the prisoners were was upset, and the
party were obliged by the fire to leave it. The
prisoners of course escaped. Three or four of
the loyal party were wounded, but no one
"""'°"" ‘ “"*“"' gfilie liorses also were injured.
nAa\Jbl\.AAA ,\}\;I\,|g_g;
As the arrest had been made in the nigghi, the
rescue was probably made at or before dayhgni.
The party then returned to Montreal for orders.
Four companies oftroops, with two field pieces
were to leave Montreal on Saturday. Their
precise duty had not been disclosed, but their
destination was the scene ofthe above occurrence
between Longcuil and Cliairibly.
A large number of warrants had been issued,
and it was confidently supposed one for Papi-
iicati was among them. Arrests had also been
tirade in Quebec. It is inipossibleto predict how
all this will end. It may be the conclusion of
the popular troubles, or it may be the beginning
ofa revolution. The Quebec Morning Herald
of Vfednesday last states that two wagon loads
of rifles, from the United States, passed through
Farnhani week before last, supposed to be iti-
tended for distribution among the inhabitants of
the parish of St. Mary, and the neighborhood.
-Also that a number of wagons loaded with
rifles, packed in chests and marked “ butter anti
cheese,” had leftBurlington for Canada. These
rifles are said to be sold in the country shops at
$5 each.
Latcr.—Tlie troops which left Montreal on
Saturday, on arriving at the place near .bOl]gucll
where the attack was made on the cavalry found

did some execution. The houses and burns from
which the cavalry were fired on their retreat
were found with the doors and windows nailed
up. and though ‘fires were burning in some of
them, all deserted. Seven miles further on a
party ofthirty mounted ir.surgeu‘.s were pursued

At a bridge near Chambly there was somesbow
of resistance ofthe passage by about a hundred
men. but they mnde_ofI' as fast as they could
upon the approach of the troops. Four more
arrests have been made in Montreal, and among
them the President ofthe People's Batik, on a
charge of furnishing money to the disaffected, to
purchase arms. It was saidtliat the publication
of the Vindicator was to be resumed at Burling-
ton, Vt. and that Dr. Cote, one of the most
prorninentof the riiiglcaders had fled in disguise
to the United States. The persons arrested, in
arms and on warrants, have made such disclos-
ures thatit iss opposed the whole movement will
be suppressed by arrests without further blood-
shed. -Meanwhile another regiment has been
ordered into Lower Canada, and the citizens of
Montreal are organising themselves for the de-
fence ofthe city, so that the regular troops may
be spared, if needed, for the defence ofscattering
loyalists in the country.-—Sun.
