 I. Major J. Downing, of ,he2nd Brigade oiDown- ngyille Militia, and second hest man in the Cavern ment. ~ and the Ginera being pretty much the hull on'tl hnkin that the las, Proclamation agiu Riddle and tue Bank hadn'i got reasons ennf iW i--gve ou. this my Proclamation by way ol a Ciincher.
 The times are now gittin pretty squay, andii we don't look out sharp things will go all to smash, --and now IS ile time for all on you 10 back me and ti,e Ginsral. We have been now nigh upon i've years at work. nockin 6owH abuses, and still things don go ex- actIy O notion. We have taken away all tho off ces from the oppositirn folks; still some on em man- age o git money to live on some where ese We have taken away the printn from en and gin u al io our E'lks; still they keep up rntn other papers, and we cant manage 10 choak them of how, 5ul they will keep jawin aud tsvtn us they wont print noae of our notices. but keep al the while wrl,in aud r'aiin their own, md try make folks think that Webster, aud McDn6ie, and Adainr, and Sargent, and Clay, and Bi1ny, and Everett, and Gaatin, and ratt more iof sucb kinder fellows, know wmore than Mr. Van Bn- ,rcn, Mr. KeDde, Mir. Cnmhreleng, and Majuf Barry, and such good friends of ourn and at ase,eri too. Bn, and the Ginera have found out nil abpui it--Bsddts and the Bunk the pasmentsshd ilihey put dow there s no ieiln the harm they to Biddie's Bank aini like other Bnnks-ey'ry thing II does goes pretty lnueh right agin ns and most o ihe other banks dO al they help us. pheIe is one at Albany called the Regency Bank; now iha, is the righ, kind of Bank, |, loans money only to our friends. and gifts tie thumb all the banks ], can. and makes them do and if they don't they pu the screws on emand that's inc reason why our folks are
 
 was managed jest like the Regency Bank, we should ali us be much beiier0A. And what was the Unit ed States Bank naae forg Didn't Mir. Madison, and Mr Ads. ,n %s. .ney were asa rsss .a. e4 ou, ,.e asSs U ,hs' kiends. aud tie opposition folks didn'i gil 6He ceni Sand that Gneral Jack son is President and who has done more for the coua- try tian afthe Presidents and Gineras and Com'no- dores, and the whole bunch em ever did, when he wants 10 do irAe for hs friends ii ihe same way, they wonllei him--well then, says he, I'm the Gov eminent, and want my money; and then they iura 10 and print hooks and speeches, saying the GineraI ant tic Government; and try make folks ih'nk the Hfet.sg of the Treasury and Congress, aud not the sinessi, has the righ, to take away the money; Now inc Gnerai don't care no more for Congress than he dnes for hc Secretary of the Treasury, and he'll sarve ,hem jest as i,e has him. We don, want en- they my make trouble, unless they do jsst as we tell e. Me wso have been ing hard for hant got any, and we have got nD more offices h give em.
 Ic rich folks have pretty much all the money, but as we can out vote fyn they ought io sheii 0n-and that's pretty much Mir. Van BnreR's potion too. And his noon Is too that there ought lO be convention 10 nominate President jest like that one spell ago in Baltimore. One man is eouftor each State, ony get the right one, and then vote ny majoriy jest aa George Creamer did when he gave and thirty votes for old Pensyyany. It won't do 10 wait too ong-'is Ony three years more afore vie shall want another President, an we ought spring to Il now jest as the Ginerai says about the Bank--,hal's got ony three years more to run aad he is afraid il cani wind up as safely by that time as il Can now, and he's goin to give it twis, on le, Oc,ober--aad we mean ,o follow it up tIl knock t all bits unless Riddle resigns, and f he does. the Gineral says he make me Presi- dent of the Bank. and give new charter, and then we'll git all our folks in aud make things go hetfer there.
 There is no use in Congress any hndy esc to try and corner the Ginerabe has thrashcd double their number afore this, and if they do try drive him n corner, is will turn out jest like skunkn froic,-he foremost dog wiu git the wofsi ont
 By order ofihe Government.
