Sir-If I am anxious upon any Que point more than
another, in NY correspondence with the Moran <
Ctronieis, 1t Is iha, Ci preventing your Readers { ON
oelnS coseived by any false statements as to cur reai
pos tiCn. This uuh.t Iiiug system Is m, always popu-
ar with the readers OF ne wepapers. sm aware oil
,nl'; an YET L sha | pursue. my own system. When
rum makes Tor our cause, l take delight in ceiling It,
ana when truth makes again { our cause, | tell the
nuth rom a seuse OF duty. Ia my two last letter,
nave eau loned you not to believe in he various ac-
coirits which would reach you Of II. stability Of The
late Use In our iuads. l tald yea that the whole affair
was q Stock Exchange tiek. | caationed You not 10
be lad astray by The be ion--and as | hen tod IN
ruth against our cause, although tie friends q, liberty
were caj led to belie v, that The rise wa, sol aud lasf-
ing, 80 now L will tell the truth when that truth is for
our cause, in asssr ing 'ha, the isll in the Funds, which
has sueeestel TO the rise, proves nothing against he
K.volu:i ion OF July, nor against the credit OF Faance,
nor against the value Ct the government Securities
FROM hrst to last il 10 an affair ot the Stock Exchange.
The millions know nothing aboui il. The millions asa;
therefore, not Influenced by il. II changes no event,
clears away no difficulty, establishes TO p,oposi.
uon; Dat IL, from hrs; to last an imnottai attempt TO tu-
lie viii tue credit Of France, and with tbs e~a,ily-en-
trapped conhdsnco Of the until lated; arL is an immortal
unpa'rio,c, aud infamous p o~ce-ding.
And now let me frs OF all state, that I believe I may
with truth affirm, that the Goveramen, has been no
party 10 the Transaction; that the Mini.ter If Fraucc
has not eat either his al ar the Public Treasury in INV
way whatever TO this preceding; but tina; il has been
a base a tempt on the part o. tw0 contending parties az
the B,uIse TO ruin each oiher, aud to in !uce the pub
TIC 10 place Itself 10 t'eir position by purchasing lh.ir
stock at a high price, which hey bough, a a mrch
lower enc. IL Is clearly aud di tinctlY a Stock Ex-
change conspiracy. 1 mentioned to you in q former
letter, that Certain persons had couspifeh together 10
ruin Nj. OISrard and It's party; end now NJ OayrarJ
and his party, in return, are censpirins to ruin those
VITO brought X n'es az high prices ON the faith of tue
rise being a real Que. During the who. OF these
specula,ious nothing really is eli. nged. Peace j. by
20 means so probable, evsn a, i, was a W sex ago. The
political horizon is still blacker, aud we are bu, yet in
The spring ola year WHICH will be marked sih events
OF the most extraordinarily momentou5 character.
