The Message.

The Message.
The message Of Mr. Van Buren, continues to be
se tepic of every tongue, and the subject OF every
Newspaper Whatever special difference of opinion
il NAV give rise to- all agree in one respec-that 1t
exhibits Mr.. Van Buren, in new light-bold, origi-
nal, uncompromismg, determined-yet smoothnlan-
yu.pe. and calm in temper. Lik N con on the
Geld of Europe dashng its dynastes to the EARTH and
creating new systems and new governments, Van Bu-
rem comes upon the banking community of the coun-
try and dares to battle with the accumulated paper
systems of half century.
Thefury and the terror he has created among all
these connected with the banking system, can bebet
ter imagined than expressed. When the Gracchi
made on the Roman noblesse and proposed law
that none should hold more than five hundred acres
Of land, there not greater excitement created
in Rome against Caus and Tiberus. In that cele-
braed contest, the Roman nobility overwhelmed the
Roman Tribune The same success will not follow
the American banking system.
The position and doctrines of Mr.. Van Buren, look
10 an entire reconstruction of all the upper classes of
socety-a complete social revolution in all the large
cities and ultimate destruction of the whole bank
ing system. We conceive the fate of his own child,
the Safety Fund, is rrecoverably sealed.
Hopes yet INDUCED among the bankers, and
those connected with them, that Congress will in
ferpose its Shield and protect the paper system from
the full measure of vengeance melted by the Pre-
sident. There is no foundation for such a hope
The message avows such principles, and makes such
m issue that the agricultural masses throughout the
nation will receive new impulse, and be animated
with fresh existence Already in this city the Sc
ven Hundred" are demolished, discounted, DESTROY
3D. ruined.
One Of the most singular incidents that will grow
out of the action Of the executive will be the
tai bankruptcy, overthrow and destruction of the AL
bany Regency-a coterie of the most atrocous bank
spectators that existed unhung in any part Of
the civilized world. Singularly enough Mr. Van Bu-
rem is their child-their pet-their agent-their pro-
tegs. The destiny which awaits them, comes, there
fore, from one who knows the corruptions and their
rogucries well. At this moment these men have en-
gagged in the fall crusade Of cheating the farmers and
hepeeple alike by buying up all the grain, and mono
policing the staff of life. The message comes upon
them in mid career, and will tend to break up their
nefarious combinations before they are matured
enough for action.
We are in the beginning of a new experiment, and
we may well make up minds 10 meet tit as not
There is ahead nothing butrouble trouble, trouble
Toll and trouble
RELrcrous CHARLArASIsM.-The following is
copy of letter recently received in this city from
one Of the saints of the day:

4. L.. w.
Here is a singular specimen of the strange mixture
of pety and worldness-o quackery and religion
which so extensively prevail during these heather
times. Pills, pley, corn electro magnetism, all
mixed up together in one brief epstle and made the
vehicle Of making money, or getting living.
The present age is undoubtedly the most amusing
that ever dawned upon the world. Whether it is in
Popery or Protestantism--in philosophy or finance
in learning folly, there be found the same
strange combinations, so sorted together as to make
the angels ofheaven burst their corscts with laughter
If they ever such articles Of dress Look at Ma

we have the most amusing absurdties passed off for
Gods truth and sound sense that ever poor world
cheated with. Indeed there is so much real char
iatasrie round about me- that l sometimes am dis
posed to think that l, James Gordon Bennett, am
only bit Of a chariatan mysef-that | am not half
30 smart a fellow as suppose myself to be-that
am not near 50 pious as plume myself en-that
know not half 50 much as ought 10 do. Some
times these thoughts my mind. But again
when see many blockheads, and rich asses at
the heads Of cliques and coteries, | very naturally
come to the conclusion that If am but a chariatan
the rest Of the great men Of the day are am an
honest plain spoken confessng charatan, ergo, the
only one existing that is an artist in his line,
and knows how to conceal it, by boldly avowing il.
yT The Rev. Coz. SroSE is one Of the greatest
old women of the day. He ought 10 bein petticoats-
not in epaulettes. When Maria Monk first promul-
gated her vagaries the Rev. Colonel believed them to
the letter-he is new as violent dlsbeevcr. On the
FIRST appearance of animal magnetism, the Colonel
was an equal n6del in the vagares Of that science
me now comes out sincere believer. When Cook
K Davenport electromagnetic machine was brought

princples-hcis now as far the other way
The truth is the Rev. Colonel Stone owns and ia

He has not spark of profound philosophy in his
