10 have put stop 10 all sorts Of business,
after the receipt Of the Presidents Mes
sage,-the fall Of stocks, the sinking Of
credit, the depression Of real estate,-
enlreats his friends not TO be cast down.
" Don't give up the ship" he says.
"Mr. Van Buren, could not possibly
write a different message to Congress
than the one he has written. 'Pinioned
as he is by Andrew Jsckson--eommitted
in writing to Blair and Kendall-ram-
melled and held down By his personal
pledges, an expose Of an appalling and
ruinous character would have been made
on the instant Of his sending forth mes
sage containing different views" The
editor Of the Star then goes on to say
"NOt a solitary proposition Of the Mes
sage, but that Of extending the credit on
bonds. will be carried out by Congress,
and he knows il, But, say the hesitsling
and doubtful, : he has committed himself
fully against National Bank---he is open
