Some of the Jackson men in this District have
now gotten up story that the United States
Bank has exported large quantity of specie
out of the country-say 40 millions! One OF
them, an intelligent gentleman, so informed me
few days since. l stated that it was news to
me, having heard nothing of it before. He We
ry Knowingly replied, if had not would hear
more of it soon!!! This is one auay of account
ing for the existing distress! Another is, and
the opinion publicly advocated, that the meet
ing Of Congress, December 1882, was the cause!
So it appears the " Government could very
well dispense with the troublesome representa-
tives of the people!
As regards the shipments of specie, all will re-
member that the charge for the last six months
has been, that the Bank of the United States
held too much specie.

ALEXANDRIA:
THURsDAY MORNING, APRIL II, 1884.

That miserable pander Of POWER, the Globe,
s.s the brazen effrontery boldly to charge the
n;rectors of the Banks that have recently been
compelled to suspend payment in this District
with g voluntary bankruptcy in col
,us;on with the Bank of the United States and
,olitical iugglers,n &c. &c. A few phrases from
,be disgraceful and slanderous article to which
we allude, will show its true character. The
!. Government like spoiled child, angry be-
.ouse its experiment. viii not work right,
falls to abusing the unfortunate victims of its
measures Hence these Banks are called the
ltte feudatories of the mammoth establish
mentn-" the miserable batch of dependent
hanksn--" faithless establishments" &c. &c.
The Globe winds up its TRADE against the
banks with the following, which is meant for
:. a calling for rengeance"!-
The managers of the Banks that have stop
nod in this District, say they have the means of
payment. Let the People then compel them to
5oit Ifthey have not the specie, let their pro-
oertv be sold like that of other debtors, under
eevecution and the money due to them on notes
discounted, be attached in the hands of their
debtors In this way all the means of the frau
dulent Banks may be drawn out and the hold
ers OF their paper saved from loss"
The e Governments need be under no alarm
Banks can be made to pay, as far as they are
able, and they aOil be made to pay. Their mo-
ney and their property are liable, ander the laW,
for their debts; and the ia will guard their Gre
dtors. We do not believe that even Bank
can be executed under the "second section"
bv the mere order of the 6 COMMANDMENTS
Chief"
We would again, however, call attention to
the vile and slanderous imputation which the
Globe makes against the motives and conduct
ofrespectable men, whose only crime it is to be
unfortunate.

therefore determined to pay in Virginia paper,
and no other, until confidence is at least partial

We give specimen of the uerGcity of the
Globe-and let all those who look to that source
for truth read it. The Globe says:
"Mr Clay developed, on Monday, part OF
his plan. This is, to clog and arrest the opera
tons Of the Government break confidence eve
ry where, and bring on his predicted revolution.
He declared it almost in so many words, THAT
He WOULD NOT VOTE TO CONFIRM ANY APPOINT
MENTs until the Bank should be rechartered, or
the deposites restored. Such, he hoped, would
be the case, and he called on his friends to stand
by him.
Now, what will be thought when we subjoin
what Mr.. Clay really did say?
know not" said Mr.. Clay, +" that there is
any member of either House capable ofbeing in
duenced by the prospect ofadvancement or pro-
notion would be the last TO make such an in
snuahon; but suspicion is abroad, and 1t is best
IN these times of trouble and revolution, to de-
lend the integrity of the body against all posi-
ole imputations.
In the first place, to preserve untarnished
and unsupported the purity of Congress- let US
negative the nomination of euery member OF Con-
sress for any Office high or low, foreign or do
nestle, until the authority of the Constitution
and laws is fully restored. And, in the next
place, let us approve ofthe original nomination
