purpose OF fostering prejudices or mJnring
our noneyed institutions, and The sooner we
are rid of such patriots the better.
The republican doctrine Is to preserve with.
good faith the institutions that have grown up
under the state laws, and that are intimately
connected with the business Of our citizens In
all their various ramifications.
We ayow ourselves for . medium course.
We support the banks in all their chartered
rights, and we desire TO see them strengthen
ed and placed on substantial specie basis.
but we repudiate the idea as utterly absurd,
irrational, and ridiculous, that in CONNER
cal country like ours. its business can be
transacted upon an entire specie currency
We therefore make no concessions TO this
radical spirit that prevails 10 some extent in
the city Of New York, which was against all
our institutions and against property general
ly; or TO that class Of politicians who, to con-
ciliate this spirit, would reprobate the suspen-
sion law, and prefer leaving the banks and
their debtors to their fate.
Another topic in which we fully concur, is
decided approval Of the distribution bill, by
which Congress directed large portion of
the surplus funds to be Withdrawn from the
keeping. and which are now distributing in
the several States by loans, and otherwise
among the people.
We arc not to be understood as desiring to
see large surplus revenue collected; but
having accumulated, we never could appre-
ciate the objections TO its distribution.
The bill was signed by the President with
out objection, and we believe met with the
appreciation of Mr.. Van Buren,.
Mr.. Tallmadge of the United States Senate
voted for it, and supported it by a speech that
has been conceded on all hands to have been
powerful and well timed, and as rejecting
much credit upon himself and the State of
New York.
We are aware that attempts have been
made by few of our public papers protesting
an attachment to republicanism, to disparage
Mr.. Tallmadge on account of his vote.
The attacks made upon him are the ebuli-
tons of little minds, instgaled by jealousies.
and petty preiudices, and in the end will re-
coil upon the heads of those land their abet-
ors) who have made them.
We believe his vote has the approval of
seven eighlhs of the republicans throughout
the Union, as it had the votes of a great and
preponderating majority Of the republican
members ofthe Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives Of the United States.
We have not time or space to 60 to a
greater extent into the several topics en-
braced in this address, or even to allude to all
of them; our readers will examine for them
selves, and we have no doubt will be instruct
cd and gratifed with its perusal.

THE PRESIDENT.

An effort is making to identify the views
and policy of the President, with those of
party ycleped " Loco-focos," who have ira
yelled out of the record" beyond the long
recognized creed of Republicans, in the ad
vocacy of extreme and ultra doctrines. The
effort will prove as unsuccessful as the impu-
tation upon the President is groundless and
unjust. He will neither countenance such
doctrines, nor the denunciations Of particular
classes of citizens which are the offspring Of
its spirit. He has been too long prominent
in the ranks of orthodox Republicanism has
given too many evidences of his devotion to
the principles Of Jefferson and Madison his
feelings are too ardently attached to the proud
monuments of his own great State, combined
with gratitude for the kindness she always
extended to him, /" her lavorite son y there
are too many recorded evidences of his up
lifted voice in behalf Of the best interests of
his country, to warrant the imputation, that at
this moment, when he is invested with the
entire functions of the Chief Magistracy Of
the United States, he can prove delinquent to
the promises of his early life, the pledges Of
his ripper years, and the obligations that rest
upon him in his efforts to meet fully the ex-
pectations that elevated him to the lofty posi-
ton of the Presidency.
No. We do not credit this libel upon his
character When he shall be required to act,
we are convinced he will display his position
far above the reach of any such suspicion.
We believe him to be the friend Of eonserua-
the principles as applied to the existing insti-
tutions Of our country; that now, as ever, he
prefers to stand rather-upon the rock occupi-
cd by the pure and lofty spirits of olden time.
than to hazard a footing upon the quicksands
of modern zealols. We feel assured that he
glories in the higher range of moral eminence,
and disdains the grovelling workings Of igno-
BILE passion; tina, he regards his future fame
with no less anxiety than he sought to estab
lsh his earlier reputation that he prefers his
name shall go to posterity, distinguished by
the calm lustre that encircles the memory Of
Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, rather than
the lurd glare Of ephemeral notoriety with
which the spirits of Loco-iocoisln" would
fain invest it.
If VIC arc not monstrously deceived in the
character of the President, he has none OF
that daring that belongs to visionary and des-
pcra,c 'minds-none Of the Quixotism that

EXTRACTS FROM DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS.

EXTRACTS FROM DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS
In our last weeks paper we gave an ex-
tract from the Address of the Republican
General Committee of Albany, which we now
publish at large, and for which we bespeak
careful pcrusal
It's doctrines are sound, and we have no
doubt will be responded to by the great body
Of the Democratic Party-while its appear
ance is at time when fearless avowal of
good old republican principles is much wanted.
This excclen. address, following up the
sound views of the Governor Of Virginia, is
calculated to arrest the attention of all reflect
ing men to the absurdity of keeping up
constant Glamour against our moneycd insti-
tutions as the cause of our embarassmcnts.
We repeat what has been often said in re-
spect to Banks, that the difficulty with them
is the want of punclualitv among debtors.
If they could pay as they have agreed to
do. the Banks would at once redeem all their
Bills, pay all sums due TO Depositors, and
have some thirty or forty millions of dollars
of spare funds.
WHY this clamor against the Banks! and
what is To be gained by it,
Ii is in effect clamor against bank debt
ors, and if vigorous measures are pursued
against the banks, the debtors must be suf-
ferers.
We believe the time has come when the
great body of the people (the business men in
particularly will see it for the interest Of all to
put an end to pal,ry prejudices, and to unite
in inst and liberal policy towards the bank
as means Of restoring confidence and pro.
ducing better state of feeling among the
community.
As to the Loco Focos proper, or that class
of politicians who choose to turn denagogues
with view of counting this faction, we care
but little for them.
No true Republican will desire to witness
embarrassmcnts among our citizens for the

wars with phanloms and sports with visions
none Of that wild spirit Of adventure that
stimulated SHINES TO penetrate the poles Of
the earh-none Of the folly Of Anacharsis
Clootz, who undertook to revolutionize the
world. t
On the contrary, his character unites with
the happiest temper, extraordinary prudence,
unrivalled knowledge Of human nature, and
the soundest practical good sense. Governed
by high sense Of honor, and regulating his
conduct by elevated principles, the good old
republicans Of The country may rest assured
that the President INDUCES not the thought OF
forsaking the plain, well tried and approved
principles Of the ancient platform. AT least,
il is our firm belief, that he will not rashly
launch himself and the country into state of
"new and untried being either for the pur-
pose Of gratifying schemers, or to try any
new theories or experiments, vitality involving
all that is dear to us as a United People. The
whole tenor of his life, and our own know
ledge of his character, confirm these convic-
tons In this faith we shall confidently rest
until the day of trial shall decide.

From The Charlottesville (va. Jeffersonian Republican.
We invite the attention of the readers of
the Jeffersonian to the communication of Ca
mllus, on our first page, which We have CO.
pied from the Richmond Enquirer. That the
idea which is now entertained by some OF the
officers of the Federal Government and 9TH
ers connected herewith, TO have no other cir
culating medium than gold and silver, and to
make war upon all banks, was never the OPT
Mon of Gen. Jackson or Mr.. Van Buren, is
conclusively shown. The author of Camil-
lus we know to have been at all times oppos-
ed to the Bank of the United States, but we
feel sure that the thought never once entered
his head that the Government was merely
using stratagcm in employing the State
Banks as its fiscal agents to derive for time
the benefits which it has admitted they con-
ferrcd upon the whole nation, and then at a
period like the present, when the people are
embarrassed, and the country groaning under
the depression which has been caused by the
stagnation of trade, to denounce all Banks,
and say that it will neither receive their notes
or employ them in any Of the moneyed trans
actions of the government. If these things
had been avowed at the time when the dis
cussion on the Deposite Banks took place,
they could never have received the sanction
of such man as we know the author of Ca
millus to be.
We confess that we are unable to under
stand the organ of the government; we have
seen it at one time denouncing all who do not
to its golden visions, and at another,
asserting that Gov. Campbell Of Virginia OK
