The MADlsoNIAN, prospectus for which was issued
some time since, made its appearance last week at
Washington. On the subject Of the currency, the all
engrossng topic, and relative which there is so great
diversity of opinion, it adopts the sentiments OF Gen
Jackson embraced in his messages to Congress,
and those OF MIR. Van Buren, contained in his letter
to Sberrod Williams and opposes the doctrines Of The
Globe, so FAR as they IRE in hostility to these but no
farther II opposed exclusive metallic currency
TO National or Treasury Bank, and to separation Of
the general government from the state banks the col

views OF Gen Jackson that subject may still be
RED into effect II copies, with appreciation, the letter
Of Mr. Tallmadge, with the answer the address Of the
Albany Republican Committee the message of Gov
Campbell Of Virginia, and article from the Richmond
Enquirer attributed to the pen Of Mr. Hives 1t de-
cares Itself the Underwriting friend Of the present nation
al administration, and far we can Judge from the
first number, promises to be able auxiliary in the
Republican cause.

The MApIsoNIAN, is the title of a new Democratic
paper recently established at Washington, published
semweekly at SIS, and weekly at So per annum paya-
BILE in advance. We have received its first and second
numbers, and, from the style Of its editorial we Judge
its editor to be talented and polished writer. Its typo
graphical appearance is very handsome.

we believe from the good old democratic stock IN Pitts

a newspaper. The Madisonian is conducted with
much talent, and its doctrines generally such as
must commend them 10 the conscience OF every sober
friend Of the country We say generally because the

system. He is, however, right in opposing sudden re-
forms any measure important to our country as
that Of the currency In tins matter we have uniformly
thought Gen Jackson wrong IN his course towards
the u. S. Bank II that institution was as bad and

ton the creators should stand far above all creatures
If we must have national bank, (and we honestly be-
licve and shall have one at some future day,)
let it be wholly firm, with new stock. The Madl-
sonlan objects the doctrine OF separating Bank
and Stae''-and keeping the peoples money In the
hands of treasury agents throughout the country. This
opposition irresponsible agents is truly democratic
No honest and responsible office holder would wish TO
be the depository Of the public moneys-and such as
not honest and responsible, ought not to hold the
public funds. The Richmond Enquirer, and the poll
ticans Of the old orthodox state Of Virginia, are glad
to see have taken stand against the proposition of
treasury agencies The Enquirer agrees with the Mad-
sonan that the treasury department must rely OIL the
agency Of sound state banks until some better plan
be devised than that of employing individual agents
Of the treasury
We infer from the language Of the Madisonian, that
the editor will not tolerate for moment the ant-rcpub
lcan cant lately put forth that the State" or govern
ment, is something greater than the people. Such Ian
guage might answer among the slaves OF despots bu II

We are sorry the Madisonian does not come out more
decidedly for gradual "expunging Of the State banks
We have, as a nation, been hity years running into
banking and mlsery-7-and would require 80 or 40
years to reach healthy condition OF the currency,
