put confidence in their allegations suffered large

found themselves deceived, or found that thew

President vetoed the Maysville road bill thew REM

false. When the Bank bill was vetoed they al
lodged that public opinion was decidedly in favor

dent would on account Of it, be defeated. The re-
suit OF the election proved, however, the reverse
to be the fact. When the depostes were removed
from the United States Bank, they asserted that
public opinion was bitterly opposed TO the admin
lstration, but at the next election of members of
Congress, an increased majority in favor of the
administration were returned. Previous to the
last Presidential election, they commended that
public opinion was opposed 10 the election of MIR
Van Buren,, and that lie would certainly be defeat
ed. Yet he was elected by very decided major
ity over all his competitors. In all those in

The Washit ton Globe, in urging the propriety
and expedentof an entire separation between
Bank and StdE and the establishment of a sys-
tenn OF free frcie banking, makes the following
sound remarks
=" Where barss are associated with Govern
ments, they naturally expect to have the law max
ing power exertd for their benefit IL they have
the money of he Government in their hands,
they have the administration of the Government
in their power. If they mismanage their affairs
violate their charters-suspend specie pay
ments-they lok TO those for indulgence whose
interests they hid involved in their own. The
hand OF the keeler is in fact in the lions mouth,
and the lion mus necessarily be treated tenderly
until 1t can be safely withdrawn. 1t is natural
that the banks such state Of things, should
presume upon Ne necessity which compels Gov
eminent TO submit 10 any abuse, or any licence
dispensing with the laws Of the land, to venture
on courses neither advantageous to themselves or
TO the public. Whenever an institution or indi-
vldual is put by circumstances above the whole
some restraints d the settled laws of society, and
more especially when they are enabled to convert
such privilege TO the qualification of the sordid
PASSIONS, at the expense of the community il is
universally founc that ruinous career is entered
upon, both as II regards the true interests of the
licensed contemIers Of the laws, and those who
are made the prey of their policy. The connex-
ion between thebanks and the Government has
proved unfortunate and mschievous.
The association If their interests with the Gov
eminent, raises the hanks above the responsibility
to which they waDld otherwise be held. Thew

SPECULATION AND PRoDUcTIoN.-The last three
years have been eventfu periods in the history of
civil and political economy; and it would be very
well for every one to review the occurrences
which have taken place. ssndidly and carefully,
and mark well the results. The present pressure
of the times are well calculated to make even the
thoughtless pause and inquire into some of the
causes which have produced them. In doing this
II will not be necessary 10 go into the arena of
politics, or scold at this or that party being the
remote or proxmae causes of the trouble. This
we leave for those who delight in such warfare.
But we may, nevertheless, turn the attention Of
our readers TO one very important cause of much
OF the present difficulties. II is the increase of

THE HARVEST PROSPECT.

Has frightened surprisingly within the last six
weeks. In the valley of the Mohawk, through
which we have recently passed, (says the editor
of the Albany Cutivaor) we never saw the crops
look more propitlous to the hopes Of the farmer,
than they now do, considering the backwardness
Of the season. The wheat, there, stands pretty
well, and were it not from apprehensiOns from
the grain worm, the prospect would be that of a
good CROP Many of our readers abroad identify
this insect with the hessian fly, and others with
the wevil. II is neither. The hessian fly preys
upon the stock Of the wheat the wevil upon the
ripened grain, in the barn or in the bin the grain
worm destroyes the wheat in the germ milk.
The spring grain and grass look very well, where
any attention has been given to draining and
even Indian corn, though got in late has come
up WELL and is of good color. There has been
an abundance-an excess of rain; and although
"sprng fingered long in the lap of winter" yet
the warm weather in the last of May and first Of
June has caused such luxuriant growth, that if
the coming month is favorable, and the nipping
frosts of autumn delayed, the corn crop will
yet be tolerable good one. The prospect of the
crops farther west, we are happy 10 learn, is
equally fattering. Abundant crops will do more
TO mitigate present evils, than hundred banks
The truth is, that as a national family, we bought
sixty-four millions of dollars more last year than
we sold-and the sixty four millions balance must
be paid before we can have easy times-must be
paid from the profits of agriculture. Banks en-
rich individuals-good crops the countryside
