conclusion can be put to the eriiliarrasstiieiit of

suspension of the power of the C“U5“lU”"_“-
sulliciciit cause for alarm? Are there not plain
indications of State jealou-ly, and rivalr_y, in
cominercial enterprise. and in competition for
the use ofrnoney and credit?
Who is not wise enough to see, if we look to
the state ofihings under the most favorable as-
pects, that there is catise for fear. unless lll('
Government steps in to take its proper control?
There are troubles ahead. and I look for relief
only to the action of Congress. '\Vheit the Slalt!

engaged in Cnmpcttltott, I see the necessity of
further check and control. There can be rinse-
curity to property, no safety to trade, uittil the
true meaning of the Coristittnion is enforcer].
\Vith six-and-twenty states, and the banks all
anxious for the use of money and for the rise of
credit, I say, that if credit can he l‘{l‘dlfllilll’lt‘ll

I shall be most agreeably tlisappoirtted.
As I have already said, these Sub-Treasttiry
schemes are but contrivances for gt:-ttiiig an ay
from adisagrccable duty. And aflerail, not
one will answer the purpose. Any man wiili
common sense will say. that with thirty millions
a year revenue, you cannot keep it. so that it
will be safe—so but that some one ‘will say it is
not his thunder. Another plan isfortakiitg bank
notes, ar.d tyingthem up with red strings and de-
positing them in the Bariks—-f‘-tr ni.-iking the
Banks Sub-'I‘reasuries and dr-positorics-—for
making Sub-Treasuries of the broken, ro:ten.
treacherous Banks!
It is the object to separate the cttrrcncy from
the Gt)vernmcnt. To make one money for the
Governiiient, and let the people look out for
themselves. I have said it was the oltJ'm.-t of
myselfaiid of those who acted with nie..tosiay
this floor] of theory—to keep aloof fi'oiii all legal
enactment to countenance the new plans, until
aftera new Congress had been elected, and a re-
sort had been had to the ballot boxes. and ilie
opinions ofilie people could be known. Their
only hope was to stay the rushing torretii, till a
mightier arm could come to the rescue. \-Ve
have succeeded. ,
Our services, iftliey have not contributed to
restore prosperity, have preserved, thus far the
constitution inviolate. Oti the part ofthe Go-
vernment. no surrender of power is endorsed
upon the Constitution. There is no clause ap-
pended to give a non olisra-nlc to the l£xccoii\-t-
will. VVC ham snatched the Constitution from
the furnace. Yes, otit of the furnace of party
contention it has been snatched, and we can
hold it up and tell you that even the smell of
fire is not rtpon it.
But now. genilciiicn, it mist have another
guardianship. A stronger hand must he. aye,
and will be. raissd to protect it. Time has been
given for the people to consider. An opportunity
has been furnished for the country to settle this
great question for their public servants. And I
think that in pro.lucing this result, beside our
labors, ll vastly greater influence is to be at-
tributcd to the indications of ptiblic scniirncnt
which liaveybeen nianifesied, tothc friends ofthe
administration I would direct your attention to
the popular revolution irt New Jersey. Ohio,
New York; and to the still siroiigcr one in
Pennsylvania ; and to a similar one in our own
Conitnomvealtli. Since the discussion of the
Sub-Treasury schemes, we have seen the same
sentiment exhibited in its might in the state of
Connecticut, and witnessed its triumph in the
distant, but respectable state of Louisiaiia. So
that we see, in every state, so far as we have
the means of forming otiropinion, the Si’-‘ltlltnE‘-lli
of a vast ninjoi'ity is against these cxperiiiiciits,
and in favor of returning to the practice of the
country and :l:e intent ofthe Constitution. B iii.
in the meantime, although these sentiments re-
turn to the authors of the experiments, they are
determined to adliereto them. All things show.
that the question of divorcc—the separation of
days of the Revolution to the present mornent.
Who is here, whose fathers have not told 'iitin—
there are those here who kuow—-that they were
mechanics whose blood teddened State street,
previous to tltc Revolution; and, as events went
forward, and the revolittion was in progress, they
met at their old bead quarters. and crowded this
iiiirnortnl Cradle ofLiberiy, in consultations to
promote its Suct.-(-:3.
When our independence was achieved. their
course was alike wise and patriotic. 'l‘ltey‘saw
the infirmities ofthe old confederation, and saw
also the means by which they might be remedied.
To their everlasting rerneiiiberaiice be it said.
that they acted as a body of men, with forsight
and wisdom. They assembled at their head-
quartets. the Green Dragon, and prepared a me-
ttiorial full of profoitrid and statesmartlike rea-
soning. in favor of the atloption ofthe Constitu-
tion. ‘ When their couiiiiiiice went to Philadel-
phia to present it, and Paul Revere was asked
how many there were. he told them there were
“more than there are stars in Heaven.” VVIIII
the sagzicity of statesman, never stirprssed. they
saw the advantdgcsofa general union; ofa uni-
form system of imposts, and of a titiiform citr-
rency and medium “of cotniiiercial cxcltanges.
When the Constitution was adopted. and that
fact was known, they held such a festival as has
never since been surpassed. The trades formed
a procession and t.-xiiihitcd theirlieariy manifesta-
tions of joy. They felt keenly, because they
saw the necessity of liaviitg uniformity in the
laws and utiiori among tltc people.
I arii glad, gmitlemeri. to see liere,_ not only
mechanics, but members ofoilier professions. I
am glad to see the Reverend Clergy, the fol-
lowers of those Cltristiati patriots, Mather, Clark.
and Cooper, and no man can wish better for his
posterity than that they should receive their
patriarchal care for religion and morals.
l airi glad to see rnenibcrs of my own profes-

of intimacy. Some are my seniors, many are
of my own age; and riiaiiy more are younger.

THE BIG LUClFER——A'GAIl/1.
VVe, last week, promised our t‘&i1(ICt‘SSOmC fur-
ther cxtracts from the address of the Sub-Trea-
sury Members of Coiigrcss to the people of‘ the
United States. ‘We must; be I)l'I'.f in redeeming
this promise.
After stating that they “ unanimously concur
in the opinion, that the re-csttiblislimeiit ofa
Bank of‘ the United States, is unnecessary, inex-
pedicnt, and dangerous to the public liberty ;"
and that “ the same reasons which oppose the
establisliment ofa. Bank of the U. States, are
equally hostile to 11 Treasury Bank,” on the
ground that “ the latter would at all times act in
conccrl -with (Ire E.r~cculive. with power to give
him strength in proportion to its capital and the
extent ofiis machinery ;” t.hey,atlniit,in so many
words, that they “ are in favor of such changes
in our financial system,” as will operate to “let.
the Government keep its own money ;” (we
tliought it was the people's money.) This is
precious logic indeed, and precious Republican-
isui too! It; will not do to entrust the’
keeping of the public money in the hands
of those -who might be under tcnipt-tttions “to
act in concert with the Executive.” This would
be “dangerous to the public liberty! So, to
acoicl this dt1nger—tlie public money is to be
placed, at once, in the Iramls ofllie Executive .'
This seems very much like jumping out of the
frying pan into the fire. This is the substance
of their argument on this point, as far as we can
understand it. ‘

After “using up" the U. S. Bank, the cur-‘

upon Abolition. On this subject, some will con-
sider their vicws very hetcrodox; while others
will care very little what they are. They “hold
it to be clear, beyond dispute,” that Congress
has no right to abolish slavery in the District of
Colunibia, and, of course, that “ the Govern-
ment has no right to interfere with slavery in the
States.” And lest; this “ frank avowal if their
political opinions and principles”.should,byany
means, interfere with their vccleclioii, they very
civilly ask their “fellow citizens to forbetir the
further agitation” of this exciting subject; Here
endetli the laél attempt to liumbug the people of
the U. States. But the poison carries with it
its own antidote. The effort is "too barefaced
for success. The “slieep’s clothing" is alto-

As the Administration" is ivouml up to run un-

that the VVliigs will make out to ‘'stop’’ it.—-
neitlicr do we believe, that such is their inten-

it, as to make it. lcccpliitzc with the interests and

been a tiriie when the aiteriiion of the people of
this country was as much engaged on the subject
of the Silk Culture as at present; nor a time
when those who have already embarked in this
business felt such entire confidence, not only
that liberal profits might be derived from it, but
also in their ability to produce as good Silk as
canbe procured in any part of the world. It is
believed that all that is now wanting to fully es-
tablish this great interest in this country, with
all its advantages, is but the dissemination of
plain practical information concemiiig it; and
to convince our citizens of what we know to be
true. viz: that there is no more dilliculty about
raising a crop ofsilk, than there is in procuring
a crop of grain. The capital ilius bestowed
yields a far greater return titan can be obtained
frotii any other branch of husbandry. The edi-
tors have long been engaged in the silk culture,
