THE TREAsuxY ClRcULAR WILL NOT De RE-
|pEALxp.-I communicate the fact, with a per-
feet knowledge of the thoughts and feelings
liz is calculated to excite among those who
|are grooming under the effects Of this illegal
and ubiquitous measure, and among that class,
Il hope large portion Of the peoplr9 who
respect the regularly and deliberately ex-
pressed opinions of more than two-thirds Of
the members Of roth houses Of Congress. I
derive my information from an authentic
source, and give it to you with the assur-
ance that it may be entirely relied upo".
The Treasury Circular has been the subject
Of consideration at no less than three Cabi-
net Councils; and the result is, that Mr.. Van
BvRkN has determined that he will persist in
this parnicious policv,-he will rot repeal
nor rescind, nor modify the order, nor carry
into effect the provisions Of the Currency
Bill-a bill which was carried triumphantly
through both branches Of Congress, and de-
feated by the arbitrary will If President
Jack son. Messrs. Fos.yrH, Po,xsErr, and
D.cxERsoN were in favor Of the repeal-and
50 was LEVI WooDsuRr! do not wonder At
the appreciation of the last mentioned per-
sonage; for the j. suing Of the Circular in Ju-
" last was not his act; but that Of Gen. JACK
SON, of whom, Is was the present Chief JUS
tice on another occasion, he was merely the |
and tool. Mr.. BurLks opposed
the repeal-and so did AMOS KENDALL. for
YOU must know that those friends of the Ad-
who were hatter,ng themselves
with the idea that this scheming demagogue
was not to belong to the Cabinet proper,
have been deceiv ed-he did attend the COun-
Ills Of Mr.. VAN BUxES-and along with Mr. |
BUTLER stood out for the Treasury Order. |
The President, sided with these TWO against
FOUR others! But let it not thence he inferr-
ID that the Kitchen Councillors have regain-
ID their powcr-No-no-The are othe r
Influences far more potential. Money-mak-l
ng is al the bottom Of the affair. Mr. Bur-
Err and Mr.. KENDALL are believed TO be in
erested-the former to be immense--theI
after to considerable amount, in Land
One effect Of the odious Treas
ry Circular is to enable the great specula-
ors to monOpolize the sales Of the lands, and
hus realize an immense amount Of money
srung in great part from the hard earnings
the poor.--'rne repeal Of that measure
,ould not only diminish their profits; but
erhaps bring ruin on those who had embar-
ed largely in these enterprises. Ii is mel
nchoiy To th,nk Of the degree to which the
oIicy Of the Administration, which is to eff Z
ct the interests Of millions, is directed BY ID
re selfish interests and mercenary ends Of a a
w. Yet SO it Is. The President has been e
duced to persevere in this wretched policy, q
yainst which the whole country is crying a
1t. which is un-recommended by - single c
,nsideration OF national character, and Is a ..
ear violation Of law. He has been induced =.
persevere in it in order to carry out the
aadates OF HE Hero, and thus subserve the :.
terests Of the political spectators, who :.
ok for fortune from this course Of ubiquitous .
'nduct towards the people.
