DREW JACKSON. did. contrary to law, and
contrary to what he knew to be the duty oil
the Secretary Of the Treasury, remove the mo-
ney of the nation from the place where Con-
gress had ordered it to be deposited, (distriba-
tingft to litter ofirresponsible banks, s. this
too, contrary to the will of that body, and for
reasons fallacious, and got up for the sole pur-
pose of deceiving the people. Here then we
have the source of all the difficulties now en-
barrassing our commercial interests, throu Oh
all its ramifcations, even to the shambles of
the butchery.
There was no currency in the world Bupe-
flor to that of the U. States when Andrew
Jackson undertook to give us better one as
he said-our silk purses were to be lined with
"GotD"-"DANK NoTEs" were to be driven
from the face ofthe land, and ''build us up
nation. which should have no other curren-
cy than the precious metals" He, howe
yer, knew this to be false-his sole object,
twas (and he supposed he could effect it) to
ruin the credit of the U. States Bank, because
that institution had refused to accede to his
wishes-his attempt to gain an influence over
it. This, we believe, was the secret spring
of his hatred to that Bank as a fiscal agent of
the government, and as far as it was in his
power, and In the power Of his parasites, Van
Buren,, Kendall, Benton and others, he sue
ceeded and no farther; but the Bank still
stands erect, as re.chartered by Pennsylvania,
its paper good, and is now waiting for the 60
vernmeht itself 10 be relieved from its own
! BANKRUprcY, when it will recommence its
business and then give all the aid can to the
reliefofth people from the effects Of the fool
!. ish and wicked conduct of our rulers.
