TRY THE YET UNTRIED Elk
PERIMENT.n

This is the sentiment now advanced BY
the administration. Its leaders admit that
the whole Pet Bank System has exploded
They boldly assert, that "these Banks haze
forfeited all further confidence from the
Treasury, and cannot be relied upon as its
fiscal agents. and that they positively
refuse to pay out what they have received
from the government for safe keeping.
When the Wings said that the State in.
stitu,ions were unsafe, and that they could
not possibly discharge the same fiscal re-.
Iations which were go faithfully and pune.
'uaIy discharged by The Bank of the Uni
led States, what was the reply Of Andrew
Jackson. and his greedy followers? Why
nothing more or less than this :-"7Ae
State Banks present TO the government the
best and most Convenient fiscal agent Of
,ohich the nature Of The cuse is susceptible"
Such was the language used in the Senate
of the United States but two years ago by
Siias fright, the right hand man of the
administration.

knew they could not bear, he bames the

public revenues, regulate the exchanges of
the country, and be safe and capable fiscal

magnanimity to say, since he says any
thing upon the subject, that he takes "the

words, blame himself and his accessories.

From the People's Press.

Mr.. EDIToR- While rejecting upon the
present state Of our affairs, the prostration
OF our business, and the arrangement of
currency, am led TO believe that all is
not r'ght--that there is a wrong resting
some where. either in ourselves, or in the
conduct OF those who rule over Us. We
have country Astounding in resources. a
people industrious and enterprising: with.
out an expensive government to support,
or "a heavy national debt to Cypress the
people with taxation. And yet we are
vcrging towards bankruptcy, and are actu
ally becoming poor. II is TO be feared
hat unless some favorable change takes
place IN our situation, we have not arrived
at period Of our woes. Our rulers are in a
measure responsible for this reverse of for.
tune. Their political quackery has well
nigh ruined us,and we must cease to receive
their n0strums or we are undone.
% Accounts from every section Of the
country from which hear, are encoura.
ging to the Wings. The measures of our
rulers, as connected with the existing dis
tress, are undergoing rigid scrutiny with
the freemen. This is what we want this
is all we ask. The subject has only to be
carefully examined to be understood; and
it has only to be understood, to ensure the
triumph of wing principles. We say to
the freemen, look at this subject Examine
into The reasons ,ohy The country is in its
present condi,lon--look at the nature and
bearing of the measures Of the government
touching the subjec,-examne the bank
ing system, and scrutlnze the measures of
the banks--lIs'en to the cry of monopoly"
and see where it originates in short. take
a thorough and general view Of the whole
subj ec', in all it's bearings, and then make
your decision. To this decision we are
wiling TO trust the interests of the state.
"THE CALIFORNIAN" We have receiv.
ed the first number of a paper bearing this
title, published at ST. Johrsbury, in this
State, by A. G. Chadwick. 1t is of the
true Wing stamp, and it is not enough to

THE UNTRIED EXPEDIENT.

The most remarkable documents that
have recently appeared, are a couple of
private letters from the Ex-Presldent of
the Unrod States. addressed to the editor
Of the Washington Globe. and issued m
present an epi'omc Of the tlnancal and
political abomnallons. with which the off
cal journal has abounded since the eXplo
sion of Mr.. Woodbury's deposi,e bank
system, and the suspension Of specie pay
ments. There is condensation of gall
and venom in their sentiment and express
sion-an extreme intensity of bitterness
which indicate the rage and modification
of the old man at be ludicrous failure of
his magnificent Specie Humbug. They
assall the merchants-the deposlle banks
and talk of Blddle and the Earrings in
the same strain Of vul gar rhndnmoniade
and abuse il which the official editor, from
his long personal intimacy with the Gem
era. has become such distinguished pro-
fic,ent. You might readily imagine that
they were from the pen of Blair himself
got up at the metropolis aud sent on to the
General for his signature; SO deeply are
they imbned with his ferocious and Jaco-
blnlca spirit.
The main object of these letters is The
recommendation of the yet UNTRIED Ex-
pEDIENr suggested by Mr. Gonge, Mr..
Senate. Wright, and Mr. Amos Kendall
the divorce of State and Bank-the col
lection and disbursement of the revenue
in GOLD AND SILVER only, with the issuing
of Treasury drafts, and Post Office orders,
we presume, by way of better currency.
They may be regarded as letters of IN
struction to Mr.. Van Buren,, procured by
Mr., Blair. and held over his head in ierro

A FACT TO PONDER UpoN.--When
General Jackson came into office, there
were three hundred end twenty banks in
The United States. Since he has been in
Office. three hundred and fifty seven new
banks have been created. The 800 banks
were the product Of about 40 years--the
357 were made in less than eight years.
These 357 new banks were made at the
same time that the peopIe were humbugged
with the promise of gold currency.

Lord John Russell, has addressed the
electors of the borough of Stroud, reanest.
ing the honor OF beng one Of their repre-
sentative. This address is considered in
d'catIve OF the policy Of the MebourneMln.
Istry, which has been received BY The
Queen. A London paper says Of it. The
Noble Lord and his friends steadily adhere
to their plan ofstrengi hening our instltu.
tons by reforming them, of complete and
full liberty for every religious opinion,
and giving TO Ireland The franchises of
Great Britain. In THIS patriotic and wise
plan they seem hereafter likely to be joined
by The Duke of Wellington"
Lord Wellington is said to have shown
a decided intention of yielding to the gen.
eral wish for Reform, and The Queen has
expressed opinions tending to the same
point. She has selected her maids of hon.
or from the leading families known TO be
IN favor of The liberal side.
The Queen has sent a command to the
Warehouses Of Lansdown and the Mar.
chioness OF Tavistock, that their ladyships
shall become members of her Majes,y's

A TRUTH WORTH REMEMBERING

A TRUTH WORTH REMEMBERING
In speech lately made by General
Murphy Of Ohio, commenting on the ca.
lamties which disagreement has broug'
upon the people, and the ease with which
they might have been averted, he says:
They s'aid at home that they might
save the profits of days labor, when. by
going TO the polls. they could have saved
The earnings oflwcnty years"
Let this truth be remembered BY the
frcemen of Vermont. In the election
which will soon be held, spare the labor OF
one day. and 60 to the Polls, where your
votes will effect change of men, and at the
same time, perhaps, a change of measures
thus contributing something to bring the
country back again to prosperity and secu-
ri:y.
