can do without the speeches. Both are good in

action, it is the opinion of the writer that the

The Ii‘cason.—Tlie administration presses are
endeavoring to turn to their own account the
fact that prosperity is returning, that business is
reviving, and the " exchanges becoming regulat-
ed.” all which has happened, they say. in spite
ofthe \Vhigs and their predictions. Such lan-
guage asthis is evidently intended todeceiveand
mislead those who are not familiar wi'h the cir-
cuinstanees ofthe case. It is entirely a false
and deceptive view of the subject. The truth
is, the Whigs have battled the administration
in its war upon the business and commercial
prosperity of the country, and it is owing to
their success in checking the tide of its ruinous
experitnents,that we are enjoying our present
measure of prosperity.
VVhen was it that business began to revive,
and the country exhibit signs of returning pros-
perity? When was it that the banks felt an-
couraged to resume specie payments, that ex-
changes began to be regulated. and our mer-
chants felt themselves warranted to go on and
import goods’! It’ was immediately after the
arljourumentofCongress, when, through the ex-
ertions of the opponents of the administration,
the Sub-Treasury bill had received its veto
from the people’s representatives. The adjourn-
merit of that Congress ‘relieved the country of
a heavy load. Then it was that the aspect of
affairs began to briglitc:i—-tlion it was that con-
fidence began to return, and with the restoration
ofconfideuce, as was predicted,cauie a return of
prosperity. The riieasures of the administration
tended to the destruction of all confidence, both
in individuals and in otir tnoueyed institutions-
tlie Wliigs opposed these rrieasures—their opposi-
tion,thanks tothe patriotism of the people and
their representatives, proved successful, and we
are now witnessing the result.
Some of the Loco-Foco papers would have
us believe that the Sub-Treasury systc-in is
nowin operation. It is not so. The collectors
and receivers ofgoverument moncysthroughout
the country take bank notes, and are obliged to
receive just such money as the people receive in
their dealings with one another. The collec-
tors in our large cities, too, deposite theirinoney
in banks, and in fact transact their business as
other people do theirs. Furthermore, the Go-
vernment actually employs banks as its fiscal
agents, and we believe is at this very time em-
ploying the Pennsylvania U. S. Bank to pay large
sums atditfereut points in the country, at a great
savingoftrouble and expense. The Sub-Treas-
ury system. exceptin some trifling features, is
not in operation, and we trust in the good sense
and patriotism of the people that it never will
be.
\Ve say again,it is owing mainly tothe defeat
of the administration policy, that the country
is recovering from the disasters under which it
has been borne down. Let the Loco-Focus

State Banks. ‘
A resolution transmitted from Washington,
and recently presented to a public meeting at
Philadelphia, by Mr. Henry Horn, late member
of Congress, and close in the confidence ofthe
administration. indicates a settled purpose to de-
stroy the State Banks, and with tlieni the credit
system generally, the moment the Sub-Treasury
project is strengthened by the new allies now in
canvass in several of the Southern States. The
resolution is as follows :
“Resolved, That the rlelegales ofthis J’VdTtl
be, and they are Itcreby instructed, not to place on
noniirzalion for any o[/ice the name ofa single in-
rliviclurtl who is connected with any ban]: or
banking inslilztlion, either‘ as director, stockhol-
dcr or borrower.”
The sweeping character of this resolution, and
the Jacobin spirit which dictated it, should oc-
cupy the eerious attention of every institution
throughout the state. I
The prescription is full and complete, and em-
braces every citizen employed by banks—every
person engaged in business and requiring aid
from banks-—every director and every stock
holder-—the war covers the whole groiiud, and
includes almost every class of our citizens.-
\Vhen Mr. Van Btiren could not use the capital
and influence ofthe Bank ofthe United States
to advance his own ambitious views, it was
natural for him to denounce and prescribe that
iustitution~—it was a sacrifice to his selfish objects
under the name of party, but his attempt now
made to destroy the state banks is evidently to
sustain the Sub-Treasury plot, as well as to
gratify the vindictive course of the radicals com-
posing his party.
The only objection to the safety food system,
was the con.cen_traIion ofpolitical power growing
out ofthe appointment ofBank Conimissioners.
As a fiscal agent it worked well, and Mr. Van
Buren and his friends finding the system profita-
ble, went on year after year and increased the
number ofthose banks. Finding that the Loco-
Focos have bitterly proscribed all these institu-
tions, and anxious to secure their vote, the Re-
gency, with Governor Marcy, who signed near-
ly all the charters,have agreed to destroy them,
and the resolution above is the entering wedge.
that party is allowed to have powar in this state.
If a majority of Loco-Focos should by any mis-
chance be returned to the Legislature, there is
There is no safety in property of any kind, if

designs--the very basis of society will be over-
turned.
In carrying out our credit system and supply-
ing the deficiency of the precious metals, bank
rioies, based on a sound capital, have been the
approved and saiisliictorv substitute since the
first bank in this city. The benefits to the trade
and com meree ofthe state, to its roads and canals.
to the improvement and value of real estate, to
its agriculture and rriauufactu res, to the mechanic.
and artizan, are every where admitted in the
greatest extent of the word ; and yet to gratify
English radicals, men without industry and con-
sequently without menus, Mr. Van Buren has
consented to prescribe all the bunks ofthe several
States, togezher, with the papercurrency and cre-
dit systcm. and to destroy them gradually in favor
of a Sub-Treasury project, which actually es-
tablishes the dangerous government of one man.
It may be said in the face ofthe above uti-
eqiiivocal and bold resolution, that M r. Van
Bureu has not the power, if he had the iiiclina-
tion, to destroy the safety food banks of this
state. Give him a legislature of uriscriipuloiis
Loco-Focus. and the repealing clause in each
charter will be brought forihwitli under discus-
sion—thctc are no limits to the exerci.-ie of power
and the right of construction that will control
him, backed by the submission and. will of, his
party. Let stockholders look to this in time-—
let widows antl orphans, whose all is invested in
bank stock, look to it—-let those whose property
is mortgaged throughout the state as security for
loans, look to it in time. VVe have no beliefin
this crusade againstourlocal hanks-—it is fraught
with danger and ditliculty, and all who arcin-
terested should look at the character of the above
resolution and its objects, anil take measures in
time to defeat the men who are eiiileavoring_,V5Lll_l1
such views to obtain seats in the Legislature of
this state.

“I object, too, against the immense patronage

Notwithstanding the favorable intelligence re-

brought by the England. and subsequently con-
firmed by the arrivalofthe Great \Vestern, floor
has suffered but a very trifling decline. As the
New York reports have it, "holders are still ob-
stinate, though evidently anxious.” They have
been induced to believe that England
threatened with famine, and thcirinterest prompts
the hope that the British harvest may yet fall
short of its promised abundance. The specula-
tion in flour. and consequent high prices. is said
to have been occasioned by orders from England;

but, it isstated, that American dealers are now

ctit,” rriailc its appearance in the very nick of
time for the Loco—Foco editors of this State.—-
The poor fellows, having coiiiplctely-tisetl them-
selvcs up in tlieirfutilee-'rloi-ts to renderthe mem-
bers aiid measures ofthe last Legislature odious
to the-people, were just ca.-ziiig about for some
new job. at which they tiiiglit “ turn an honest
penny,” when, very opportiinely, the letter of
Pcqt.'on7iocJohnn3/ is ])Ul.)ll:-llctl to the world!—-
Here is work enough, at once, to last them, at
the rate of a lie a week, till next April! It
comes too. to a nicely. within the very line ofthc~ir
vocation. They have nothing to tlobut to hack
tip with all tlicirniiglit, his libcls upon the majori-
ty of the voters of the State and reiterate his iii-
fainous charges U[‘ft)l] the virtue and intelligence
of his fellow citizens. They were at first, to be
suic, a good deal lroublctl to account for the
Doctor’s irnprudence in suilering the VVI-rigs to
get hold of it, and some of them swore very
ltistily that it was all a \Vliig fabrication. got up
toirijure Mr. Niles and bring hiiu into public in-
famy anddisgracc. But they soon discovered
that this was “ no go"-—aritl now they have all
agreed to stick to it that the letter was stolen by
the Vi/liigs—-tliat its contents are true, every word
of them -—and, on the whole, that the letter is
quite a feather in the (fool's?) cap of its author.
It is rather too bad, to be sure. to think that they
have not been let into the secret. but “ the truth
of the business is,” that Files irileritlctl that the
letter should get out just -when and as it did.-
He knew that this was the only course he could
take, consistently with his previous political
character, to keep his name bcfore the public;
and it was written for the same purpose, and
doubtless with the same motives, that iiiue-tenths
of thedyiiig speeches and last words of<:onileiuii-
ed malefactors are prepared—togziin an iiifariious
notoriety for the sufferer, and give his typogra-
pliical friends a chance to speculate upoiitlie
sympathy and credulity ofthe public. He knew,

Butjudging from what we have heretofore ob-
served oftliein, this will be no=liiii-_,r more llltlltil
what they are accustomed to. Tlieir stzziidartltf
morals is doubtless derived from the Tories of
the Revolution :—

In addition to this, we copy t.lie followiiig ex-

If they would only be as frank as that staunch
old Tory, ’Squire .ll’Fz'ngal was, the \Vhig
press would be saved a deal of trouble, and the
ublic that ooriion of it which reads the Tor

CANADA.—Ii‘es2'g~ization of Lord Dar.-‘mm.-—
\Ve learn by a letter in the Commercial Adver-
tiser, dated Quebec, Sept. 2;, that Lord Dur-
ham has resigiied and is about returning to Eng-
land. Sir John Colborue will probably retain
his military command for the winter. ‘We copy
the following extracts from his Lordsliip's address
to the Delegates from New Brutiswick, Nova
Scotia. &c. who had been invited to meet him
for the purpose of consulting on the welfare of
the several proiiuees. Our readers have already
been apprised that the ordinance of Lord Dur-
ham relating to the state prisoners has been con-
demned by the British Parliauicnt, and its de-
fence abandoned by the ministry.
Lord Durham then alluded to the Cauadas—
said they were very imperfectly known by those
at home. He knew very little about them While
in England. He came out, he said, not to grati-
fy his own personal feelings, but to obey the com-
mands of his sovereign. His view ofthis coun-
try had greatly changed since he became ac-
quainted with her resources. and with a portion
of hei inhabitants; and wherever he might be
called. and however employed, he should always
clierish an ardent wish for the prosperity of this
vastcountry.
It had been the aim and the dearest object of
his wishes, to be able to inform her Majesty that
her fine possessions in Prliish America might be
considered one of the richest gems of her domin-
ions—tliat her entire population were in a per-
feet state of harmony and friendship, and that
each party was striving which could most pro-
mote the good of the whole. He had not yet
brought into action those ineasures which were
intended for the good of the country.butseveral
of them were nearly completed and would al-
most immediately have been made public.
At the moment when he was about to complete
those plans which had been maturing, party
spirit interposed her withering haud._aud blasted
all his hopes for the welfare of the Canadas.-—
