PROPHECY OF MIR. SENATOR CLAYTON

tering the Bank ot the Ohlteo states, Mir. Clayton, in his speech on that occasion, said
 r"The loss of cOnfdence among men, the tOtaI Encouragement of Lh0t admirable syStem Of erch0n- ges oEich is nOaO acknowledged to 6c better than eriSts in any other country the globe OrertrG- ding and speculation on false capital in euery part of the country, thGt rapid atctWGtion in the stGndGrd of uGlue for n1Oney which, like the un- seen pestilence, withers all the efforts of in- dustry, while the sufferer is in utter ignorance of the cause of his destruction :; bankruptcies and ruin, at the anticipation of which the heart sickens, must follow in the long train of evils which are assuredly before us. Where then-where, then, demand to know, sir, is the remedy to save us ?"
 PROPHECY OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. (Erhact from Mr. As [" Suppressed Speech," ApriL 1934)
 "Sir, the pressure of the removal of the de- posites is nearly past; it has ruined its thou- sands, and afflicted its millions; but the si- moon has blown over, and they who prostra- ted themselves on their faces before the blast, survive unhurt, and may rise, and yet find their way out of the desert. The pressure from the removal of the deposites is passing away. The prosperity of a great nation can not long suffer from so trifling an incident as that. But the wrong is done, and Ns corase- q,ences WILL remain testering and dnf6ming the body oflhe community until that wrong shall | be repaired. Your President has usurped le- | gislative power; he has laid his hands upon | your treasure, and he is now converting it to his own purposes. He has seized it, and now yields it as weapon of power to himself, and 1 an instrument of plunder to his partsans.- Yet his experiment. has but just commenced :; its object is not merely to destroy, but to break the Bank. His chosen State banks are A. 1,L orl %<r a metallic currency. With what intuitive sagacity are the means adapted to the end Sir, his State banks would land the nation, they are already hurting t i,uo uniuersal bankruptcy His hand must be stayed, or the nation is undone"
 The above is prophecy; now for fact. Take two States, Mississippi and Louisiana, which have sustained Gen. Jackson and MT. Van Buren for years, and we have, in the small State of Mississippi bank capital of 52,OO0,- 900, and in Louisiana, an increase of bank capital, since the Experiment began, of SS4O,- O0O,OOO-N. Y.

 An honorable erample.-A note was placed in the hands of lawyer in this city, day or two since, against man who owns the house in which he lives, which is unincum- bered, and worth ten times the amount fthe note: On being informed by the lawyer that the note had been placed with him for collec- ton, he frankly told him that he had not the money, but would give him $50 and pay the debt, if he, the lawyer, would raise the mon- ey on mortgage on his house. The attor- ney not being able to do this, told his client that ii, under these circumstances, he was determined to put the note in suit, he must employ some other lawyer to bring the suit, | for he would not.-Phil. Her0ld.
 The Pressure.-Therc soon will be facts developed in sufficient abundance to con- vince the most skeptical of the existence of a pressure in the money market. On the eve- ming of the 18th, Forwarders representing the sixteen regular lines of canal boats, resolved not to start boat until they should receive some positive assurance of financial aid from the Banks. They were not, nor should they be satisfied with ten days discounts. Such short accommodations would afford them no relief By accepting them, the Forwarders would but accumulate endorsements and assume responsibilities which no prudent men would assume. They have therefore settled upon the only alternative-tied up their boats until the Banks consent to afford them the usual facilities. Here again, we have taste of the bitter fruits of the Treas ury Order What a tame set of simpletons we, the people are, to suffer ourselves to be thus lacerated, at every point, by the iron hoofs of our" democratic" rulers.
 Rochester Democrat The Iimes-The failures that have taken place in our city within few days, have cast gloom over the face of the whole communi- ty. Houses whose resources were thought almost unlimited, and whose credit was tho,,ohf as unmoveahle as the foundations of the mountains, have given way before the pressure. The glorious experiment of the national government sweeps every thing be- fore it {; it's tremendous energies are devel- oping themselves in the general suspension of business and the destruction of the pros l Perity of all classes of citizens.
 Baltimore Com. Place an Iron japanned tcatray on dry

 Hold one end down on table with the fn-
 ger and thumb, and give 1t about q dozen
 strokes with large piece of india rubber
 from the Jeff to the right, beginning at the
 top. Now take 1t up by two of tho corners
 and bring t over the tray, and t will fall
 down on 1t like 2 stone: If one finger be
 now brought under the tray, sensible shock
 will be felt; Now lay needle on tho tray
 with it's point projecting otitwards, remove the paper, and q sure sign of the negative electricity will be seen return the paper, and the positive brush will appear. In fact,
