Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1837-07-21


No RAG MoNEr.--The organs of the cha
n'eieon party, now insist that an exclusive spe-
Gle currency is no part of their creed See this
assertion handsomely used up in an article in
another column from the Albany Daily Adver-
tIser. In addition to the extracts there given,
we present one from the Farewell Address of
Gen. Jackson, man surely shedding position
to give weight TO his views"
"But experience has now proved the mis-
chiefs and dangers of a paper currency, and il
rests with you TO determine whether the proper
remedy shall be applied
We also add:
Gin short period, the GOLD coinage will
furnish the country with safe and portable
currency" -President jackson, 1884.
"In seven months from this time bank rays
sciH be abolished and the whole country will be
overspread with GOLF. - Washington Globe
1884
In the last weeks Montpelier Patriot, the file
leader Of the administration party in this State,
a labored editorial TRADE against banks, closes
as follows:
"The truth is the banking system has been
weighed in balance and found wanting.''
On the same principle, (the suspension of spe-
Gle payments,) the administration has been
weighed in the balances and found wanting -
But let that pass. Toshow not only the inncon-
sstency Of the present posture of the admins
tration presses, but the incongruity Of their
doctrines on the subject of the currency as now
promulgated in different columns of the same
papers, we add the following from the same pa
per of the week previousl
While some hold Col. Benton to be too u-
tra,s they approve and applaud the views of
Mr. Rives; so we go with Mr. II. fully, as ex-
pressed in the following extract from his speech
of last winter. Read it:- M
'My object then wonld be, not the destruc-
ton Of the banking system and the total sup
preston of bank paper, but an efficient regua-
ton of it, and its restriction to safe and proper
limits; not the exclusive use of specie as cir
cuating medium, but such substantial enlarge
ment and general diffusion of il, in actual cir
cuation, as would make it the practical curren-
cy Of common life."
This same paper publishes Col. Ben,oas late let
ter without comment, ia which he says "the
lesson ha. b<ea psHcsie-lIy ,.ush, Tia, do in
ni,c,y better wifhouf paper money banks than with
them,
GaEAr MovEMESr.-Itisw with sincere pleas
ure that we lay before our readers the account
Of the proceedings Of the great Wing State
Convention of Ohio. We trust II will be care
fully read and the spirit imbbed by the Wings
of this County. Every lover Of liberty and
the constitution, every fiiendo( democracy and
true repubcanism, every one who desires 10
see erecutre potoer restrained tcithin the linn
its prescribed By the constitution has duty to
perform, which can never be considered dis
charged until he has done his utmost TO conn-
teract the efforts of the party in power, which
has brought so much evil upon our land, and
which has jeopardized the dearest interests of
freedom. The Wings of Vermont win hearth
" respond to their bretheren of Ohio, in the
sentiments they express. Old Windham has
spoken in Convention-let her act at the ballot
boxes.
The sentiment Of the following resolution of
the Ohio Convention should be written upon
the heart Of every Wing.
ResoIped, That in times like the present, in
dividuals, whatever may have been their pub
lie services, can have no personal claims upon
public suffrage, but that the general interest
absorbs all private pretensions; and those are
TO be esteemed The most trustworthy and the
most praise,corthy WHO PEREMProRiLY RE-
FUSE THEMSELVES TO THE SLIGHTEST coll
LIsIoNs AMONG THEIR COMMON FRIENDS EN-
GAGGED IN THE ONE GREAT, COMMON OBJECT
-LEGISL.a1TVE REFORM.
Let this principle guide US in our fall elections.
Mark euery one soho stripes TO cause divisions
in our rafks-spurn every attempt to create
ieaIouses and disunion, on whatsoever ground;
let The Wigs in euery totcn unite on some can
didate srlRepresentative an The assembly, sus-
tain the regular nomination for State and Coun-
ty officers, and mope 10 the polls in one unbro-
ken phalanr, and the victory is ours. We can
route the gloryites hip and thigh if we do our
dutv. and leave not root or branch Of hickory
or sIippery-elm on the free soil of Old Wind
ham. We are struggling for our dearest rights;
TO restore a broken constitution; and to give
death blow to- principles promulgated by the
party in power, which, If allowed to strengthen
and prevail, viii destroy our liberty and blast
the hopes Of the world. Let us then be in
earnest, nor tire in our efforts till they are crown
ed with success.
