recent indications of General Andrew Jackson,

Presidents will in short time, produce greater

destruction of banks, and bank currency, will, in
few months, twice the number OF bank

be divided in two divsions-each actuated by fierce
and intense emotions.
The depth and intensity of this excitement Will
spring up in the large cities, and among the COM
mercia classes All the fortunes-all the property
all the happness-a the value OF life OF the credit
classes of society," depend paper money and paper
currency In the first ebuliton OF their Madness we
should not be surprised to see the laws violated ana
real revolution attempted. On the contrary, II IS
highly probable that all the mddllng and lower
classes of the people, as opposed to the credit mer-
camille and specializing class, will unite in support OF
the government, and in bitter hostility to the banks
The first result from the carrying out of the new
views of the government will be the total destruction
of the Sa ETY. Fund Banks in the State. So far as
their destiny is considered, they well deserve it, for
two-thirds of the evils which alict the country have
originated with them. Another result will be- the
total prostration of the Albany Regency, and all the
present race of merchants will be injured-but new
generation will soon springup.
Let us prepare for the future. Domestic affairs, for
this year. will more occupy the public mind than for
eign Texas will be forgotten in the throes ola social
revolution As the session of Congress approaches,
the excitement and intensity of the public mind will
increase and surge from end to end of the confederacy
At this point of time il is utterly impossible TO predict
the results of another half year.. We can only stand
from under and watch the coming of the avalanche.

numbers of small boats; added this, the hills
covered with people in all directions. The McGregors
gathering the highlands of "Auld Reekie could not

hundred yards, the Washington alongside, and

further-each straining every nerve-at length
the Washington gained upon the Erie, and passing
round briggs moored miles and half from the
steamboat landing, kept the lead and arrived at the
