 Mr. EditOr-lt has been darling object with the Van BuFen party make the people believe they arc imposed upon by being allowed the privilege of recev- ing Bank notes or silver as they choose for their a- bOur and tho cry has been raised SO loud and long that many have actually been deceived by but is gratifying to find that many are beginning to see through the hypOcrucal preences ot the party. The fact is that this project is well calculated to assist the rich, and such as are receiving their thousand and five thousand and twenty-five thousand dollars salary year, and able to put the money into their chest, and keep it of the hands of the farmers and | labourlng classes. But if a man Goes days work and wants bushel of rye for his family where is the difference, would like to inqn;re between receiving
 silver dollar dollar bil provided his bill will be received as readily the silver? But it is said there IS no real value to b but to silver and gold there is TeoI intrinsic value Now I would like to inquire "hch IS o the most real vaue provided there was an equal amount ot cash in the country si!Ucr or iroa
 believe all will answer, is capable of being used Tor ordinary business where silver gold could not be used and consequently is more useful and necessary But custom and laws have fixed nominal or ic,cious value to silver and gold above other metals and yet this IS not so fixed and unacrable as many seem to suppose-for Congress has already said that gold which was once worth ten dollars, shall be worth nearly eleven; and it would be no more strange for them to say that piece of silver worth dollar to day shall be worth ten tomorrow, than it is for them to say you shall not receive such and such bills as you please But the truth is, such men as our Senators and Repre- sentavesi Congress- who are receiving over six hun. dred dollars each for the present extra session. even two thousand five hundred dollars, probably for the present and next usual session. the men who are to be benefited by an exclusive specie currencyfor as soon as they and the oer Government officehold CTS can get what specie there is into their hands, tand the specie Circular was intended for that effect they will be ready to say, as strong party leader said few years ago. you must work at our price or starve it will never be good times for us who hire our work done until we can get days work for sheep's head and pluck" Now would say to such men as have been imposed upon heretofore if you are prepared to your Representatives and Senators receive spe ce he0aseUes, and pay the Revolutionary soldiers and others in Treasury drafts, or something which they admit IS not as good they themselves receive, and will not allow you the privilege of receiving for your labor what you choose, and will say the general govern. men was never intended assist the people, but on- ly themselves, then must admit have entertained wrong opinion of the character and intelligence of our countrymen. But think the "sgns of the times" are favorable, and that our country will yet be free. A REpUpLIcAN FARMER. "Yoong man"-said the late President Dwight long years ago, to student at Yale--s. Young man. your talents are of high order, and might qualify you tor any station, but deeply regret that you do not love sound principles better than sophisry-you seem to possess most unfortunate bias towards error.''
