been welded, and is to be welded, if this
dynasty is to be continued.

elected, will join in this robbery of the old
States to enrich the new. Ii will be their
great title to Executive patronage that they
have gone with the Executive in all its poll
cy, no matter how injurious that may be TO
the interests Of their State. In one Of them
we have already had ample proof of this; nor
have you any reason to expect more inde-
pendent and patriotic course in the other.
BY his veto, Andrew Jackson as the Exec
utivc, has prospectively, and now within
short period to take place, deprived this ma
ton of national currency; the best that any
country was ever blessed with +; 4 currency
essential to the business and prosperity OF
the nation; without winch, the exchanges of
the country cannot be made without immense
losses to the People; without which, there
can be no steady, uniform, and permanent
value in the medium of her exchanges; with
out which, it will be impossible to prevent
those fluctuations, in the value of that medi.
um, which by their necessary consequences,
must involve thousands and thousands of our
fellow citizens in distress and ruin. The di-
rect loss to this nation by being deprived of
national currency, cannot justly be estima-
ted ut less than twenty millions annually
and the indirect loss, annually, must be far
greater The necessary details, in proof of
this, which cannot here be gone into, would
show that it must be immense. A national
currency can only be had by means Of ma
tional Bank; it is idle to imagine that there
can be any other adequate means to this end.
1t is the icW Of Andrew Jackson that there
should be no national Bank, and therefore
there will be none under this dynasty. For
Van Buren, has given it as public toast, TO
recommend himself TO the suffrages of the
Jackson party: Eternal and uncompromising
hostility TO National Bank"-or in other
words, but to the same effect. If he be elect
ed, then the nation is to have no national
currency; If Pearcc and Sprague be elected,
they will labor with him, to keep the country
destitute ali the means bf prosperity to be
derived from national currency, and subject
ed to all the immense evils Of being with
out one.
