The following, from the New York Express of
Saturday last, will undoubtedly interest some of our
readers
CHANGES-FoRErGN.--Th rates of Ex-
change on Europe do not vary much from our last
reports. On yesterday, which was packet day, ll0i
on England was offered Ill was given, and Illt on
prime u S. Bank bills was asked. This is a highly
promising exhibit of the condition of our Foreign
Deb, and shows that as our crops are going for
ward, while our importatons are light, that before
long we shall be free from the load of European
debt and the balance of trade will be in our favor
-DoMEsTIC.-TheEx Exchanges upon
the Southern States, whence come crops of Cotton,
continue TO promise to be in very favorable condi-
ton Our merchants who have suspended paper in
Mississippi feel highly encouraged Treasury notes.
which are used at the South and West for reman-
TO this city, there bear premium but here they
have fallen lille below par-from to discount.
The Secretary of the Treasury is now about to
into the market with notes at six per cent TO raise
specie. This, he will hardly be able to effect now,
specie being at premium and money worth more
than the difference would be. 1t is remarkable that
the rates of Exchange on Boston and Philadelphia
are but little below our rates on New Orleans.
SPECIE-The attempted purchase of Specie by
the Government with its Treasury Drafis,-the pur-
chases by the Banks,-and the demand of it at the
Post Office, together with the political talk about its
superiority TO every thing else, now do more than
any thing else to keep il at premium. There is
no demand for il to ship. More comes into the
country than goes out. The packet ships have
ceased totake it. As the Exchanges fall it will
turn upon us. However, II sells at premium, be-
cause IL has sold at a premium,--and as yet il has
magic about it, because it will do some things paper
wilnot do. II will pay bonds at the Custom House,
and pay hostages at the Post Office. Thus, while
discrimination is kept up for it, it will have an adj
vantage over paper. 1t is falling, however, every
week. We quote American gold at A At prem
halves and Mexican dollars, a Al do; five franc
pieces 81 a 90 cts; soveregns, $50 S5,s doub-
looms, ssl7; do. Spanish, SIG $685.
MONEY-Large sums lay in deposite seeking for
investment. Active, quick-sigbted, shrewd monied
men are already taking advantage Of the low value
on many kinds of property, and investing their funds
in it, so as TO eujoy the advantage Of rise when
things are restored. Every body sees that better
times are ahead, and there is now disposition to
improve by them when they come Many hold back,
however TO see what movement will be made in Al
bany,--wbat the Governor will have TO say, aud
what the Legislature will do In the mean time
there is great timidity Many capitalists were so
bitten by shaving notes that they are afraid now TO
trust their money out of sight The great mass of
them wait for the resumption Of specie payments,
when without doubt enterprise will resume its usual
elasticity and energy.

CORRESPONDENCE.

1t gives us great pleasure to be cheered by
the voice of experience, and the applause Of
hoary headed political virtue. The letter we
give below is from an old Jeffersonian, Madi-
sonian, democratic republican Of forty years
standing as distinguished and influential
friend Of the Republican party. He stood by
jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson
throughout their eventful careers, honored by
them, and the confidence Of the people The
veteran regards the "purc metallic currency
the Bankrupt lao," the "Sub- Treasury
scheme" and the " Gag-law," with the eye Of
true Republican.
New YoRK, December -.
DEAR SR:-I have read every number of the
" Madsonian" from the commencement, and have
admired the discretion and assduity which has guild
ed its columns. see in ii no deviation from our
long-estabished Republican creed, which to me, for
forty years, has been as familiar as my juve-
nile catcchism the great cardinal points not less
distinctly marked rejoice TO seet the " Madisonian"
erected the old anti-federal PLATFORM skilfully
welding the old anti-federal arguments supporting
and guarding the old cardinal articles of the Jeer
sonian Madisonian-politica faith What were these
articles1 Why, very few and simple" restricted
powers restricted scope restricted purse restricted
expenditures restricted armies restricted grandeur,
restricted splendor to the federal government" and
enlarged powers enlarged freedom, enlarged scope
TO the several States and to the people" You, who
are young, can hardly conceive with what conster-

Some Of the citizens Of the Eighth Ward of the
city of New York, among whom we recognize the
names of "Wm. M. Price," and "John Mckeon''
included and others that we do not recognize, from
our forgetfulneSs doubtless Of those who were
formerly distinguished at 81. Tammany," held a
meeting on the lfth instant at which the following
resolution was passed:
Resolved That the unanimous thanks of the De-
mocracy oflhs Ward are hereby TO Messrs.
A. b. Vanderpool and George Davis, our present
Delegates to the General Committee their uncom-
promising hostility lotbe projects of majority OF
the Committee, and 10 the resolution approving OF
that shameless vehicle of apoSiacy, " The Madiso-
Man, and their unremitting e1erons TO render the
Committee representative and organ of public
opinion must be gratefully acknowledged by all who
have al heart the public good.
Asiisauthors no doubt desire that the people should
know their sentiments we very cordially reciprocate
compliment they havepaid tous, by gratifying
to the extent of our circulation. 1t seems the men,
bers named, "exerted" themselves ''to render the
Committee representative and organ of public
opinion" but "public opinion" the jade, didn't
fancy the key upon which the organ" was set.
Being unable to recognize many of our old Tam
many acquaintance among the Democratic Re-
publican Electors" whose names appear in the pro-
ceedings referred to- we should be pleased to be in
formed by some of our New York cotelnperaries
whether those electors are the rabbe followers
of the camp" described by the Richmond Enquirer.

We have heard Banks denounced as great
moral locusts. corrupting the morals Of the
people, robbing the poor of their hard earn
ings, and yielding no equivalent to the state,
corresponding with their enormous gains.
Facts will show, with how much justice these
useful institutions have been subjected to the
sentence Of outlawry, and the denial of that
protection extended to all other interests
which bear their proportion Of the public bur-
den.

of premiums paid by the banks on their char
tiers in the state of Pennsylvania, entering

late revival of the strongest federal dogmas andthis
too, by an Administration elected asRepublican and

| Why this was one of The most offensive measures
in It's more innocent shape of the offensive reign of
old federalism, and opposed by every republican
from Jefferson down to The most obscure member Of
the party. The SUB Treasury schema will not re-
iterate facts and arguments against II; but will say
without hesitation, that the consummation of this
monstrons project would confer greater power on
the Federal Government and greater priyations and
disfranchisement on the people, than can now be
found in the modern administration Of those nations
Of Europe, who have any pretence TO liberty. Most
prophetic the declaration OF the inventor of this
scheme-when he declared-"the war between spe-
Gle and paper money snow fairly begun,
=" and $50 long as this conflict lasts, the
disasters il win produce, will be greater than would
be occasioned by contest with the most powerful
nation on the globe, =" and again,
" both earth and hell will be put in commolion

happy peaceful, free people, mhoS piH should be Tie
supreme lao, accompanied with such awful predic-
tons from the protector of the scheme1 Where
fore a Because, "whom the gods have doomed TO
destruction, they have first made mad" Who that
has mingled in the recent elections and witnessed the
conflicting passions of the people, doubt the full
flment Of the prediction? Is il not wonderful that
certain public functionaries should still rush mad
ly on their fate The Gag Lar, ofthe elder Adams
was the of freedom compared with the ostra
cism of the present day Who now dare speak,
write, or even think9 Why any member Of the
party who shall dare question the perfection of the
slightest Government suggestions is first condemned
by the inqusitorial Clique, without trial, without
hearing, and next publicly impaled by the Censors
Of the Globe" and, finally his severed head sent
by the herads of the Evening Post to all quarters
of the land, to brighten the people into submissive
acquiescence to Loco-Foco Despotism. "Can these
things be, and overcome us like summers cloud
without our special wonder2" No. The people in
the late elections have-and in the future will per-
form the part ofthe reused Lion.
