III The position Of the banks is spoken Of as
illegal. As specie is the only LAWFUL tender
in payment Of debts, are not all who have any
debts to pay, liable to the same charge -
Scarcely payment is made among the peo-
pie in specie. According to this reasoning,
then, the position Of every individual in the
community is illegal-an imputation, how
ever, which the people seem little disposed
to tolerate.

Frederick county is one of the strong holds

as grea, weight in her councils as any o'her
district.
The sub-treasury scheme, in this election,
was distinctly presented to the people, and
they have in the very first instance gwen 1t
their decided and unequivocal condemnation.
Mr. Clark was the regularly avowed can
ddate of the Sub-treasury party, and MIR.
Sherrard, who has received the handsome
nj jority Of 255 votes, and who has long
been known as decided democrat ofthe old
Virginia school, was the candidate Of the
conservative party, as those have been called
who are opposed to the Sub-treasmy and an
exclusive metallic currency.
This is one index which our democratic
friends may rely upon, as pointing unerrAngy
to the course Of the state.

political parlance Whigs. They contend for the
doctrine of self govornment--that power legiti-
mately lies with the people, and oppose the concen-
raton of 1t into the hands of the few "reeardIess
of the will of the many" Hence they are in op-
position to the present administration which exer.
clses and claims the right to exercise, powers not
guaranteed in the Constitution. Can any man hest
late which SIDE to choose in the coming struggle?
Has not General Jackson stifed the voice of the
people by repeatedly vetoing bills passed by Con-
gress, in which he has been sustained by Mr. Van
Buren,! Has he not in these instances exercised
rlantable powers in disarming Congress of the
power to leglsate for the good of the many? Do
not his arbitrary acts in relation to the CURRENCY
unsanctioned by Congress, sustain the assertion
'hat ne mas CLAIMED power not guaranteed to him
