speech have since settled all hat The Senate got up
as many murmuring memorials and punic spee .bes
as they thought would he calculated to restore The
Deposites, and oyerwhelm the Adinnsiration--hut

all down.
We are reminded by an article we have ,,st seen
III an Opposition print of this city, of anecdo,e we
have recently heard, of u very intelligent but inn,
FASHIONED Politician. Some months since he was
sorry that the crop of wheat would not sell for more
than so or GO cents bushel-that Jackson was
maj, and was running the country, &c. &c. The
other day, he was reminded of his predictions-and
nc exclaimed, that the Country was mad and Tie
Millers were running thenselves
We compassionate these gentlemen, most sincere
~. Their zeal was worthy of a better cause. The
State Banks stand fast, e. their souls) i'm spite
of all the power of the Bank and all the arts of The
Senate. The Market is cheering and thus the very
weapon by which they expected to blast the Admi-

public meetings called The Richmond bar would
again have taken the field, and we should have
heard the most laundering denunciations uttered
against Gen. Jackson and the removal of the DEM
sites; and if they could have screwed up their con
rage to The s,ickingpa might have had the
national Bank itself, and its uses and its e-cbar,er
pressed once more upon The Public But the fieas

blown sky-hIgh---sky high The iublcs are turned
upon tiem--and the Money changers, and the Ca
bal, are upset in all their ingenious calculations
But the aforesaid Opposition print has onober
string 10 lis bow. 1t is insoious enough TO nscribe
TO Tie other party claim which never entered in
10 thelr heads "Ihey represent (says this political
Wiseacre) the high prices of wheat and tobacco ns
proofs of the wisdom and benefcence of the reno
val of tie Deposes" And in pursuance of this
Idea The same print takes infinite deal of pains
10 prove that these high prices are owinp 10 other
causes than the change of the Deposiies very

denies, would seem 10 most men as n very useless

we repeat, its purpose is TO circulate the ,lea ihnt

present markets TO the acts of the governments But
what, in truth is the only point for which thew hive
contendedH IL 49, that the state of the markets shows
now ialacIous are the predictions of the Opposion-
lists, that The country be ruined by the measures
OF Gen. Jackson. Let differ rs we NAV about The
