The herald., 1837-05-08

The sub committee took their departure last even
ing for your city, having executed the object OF Their
mission to Washington, as well as they could reason
ably expect. 1t was said By some who saw them de-
part that thev seemed to be in good spirits and by
Others that they looked somewhat disappeinted
They received, yesterday, the written reply OF the
President to the application Of the committee; put
the nature and character of that reply are still IN nu-
bbus Conjectures various, but the general Deiei
is that it was nnfavourable, have already stated
The Globe of this morning refers TO 1t briefly, ana
speaks rather contemptuously OF the application OF
the merchants Of New York. 1t is evident that Van
Buren will do nsthing though, like President Munroe,
he may promise much. He has studied, to some ad-
vantage, the mysteries Of the Dephlc oracle, ana
knows how to deal in antiquities better than any
in this country. The contents OF his letter 10 the
committee will not be mad. public, till they arrive IN
your city, and when the reply is published, 1t will be
found TO amount TO nothing. The cholera cannSt be
cured and must take its course, fear, for some hme
"What can't be cured must be endured" and the de-
luded people of this country must endeavour to bear
with patience, the evils which have been thrown upon
them by their own Mprudence, and the madness and
profgacy Of their rulers. The friends Of the admin
israon wish it to be thought mere opposition
trick" and that the meeting in New York was got up
for party purposes But the tornado Will sweep
over the country till all will be made to feel their de-
plorabe folly in having elevated to power pack OF
quacks and FOOLS whose measures or selshness have
reduced then, TO ruin. Van Buren, has commenced
his career unpropihously- y-he has fallen upon EVIL
times, and he has neither the energy nor the wisdom
necessary to rescue himself his country from the
impending desructoR which hangs over il.

tee Of fifteen have returned and reported tina, Mr. Van
Buren refuses pay their notes. or prevent them from
breaking Van will neither call Congress together
nor repeal the Spece Circular. They knew he would
not before they went The evil is the want ofmoney;
and although government is mighty IN causing
mischief, il is powerless in giving us remedy. &C
cordingy, yesterday and TO day, the committee
and their friends have been raising the steam at Del
monico's to get up meeting tonight IN the Masonic
Hail. and TO make grand coupd etat in the revolution
proposed by Webb and endorsed by Simeon Draper.
There will be terrible escape of steam and other
Indignation. Van treated them with contempt aud
they will treat him with Indignation.
But what is to be done Will Webb open recru-
ting rendezvous Will Mr.. Gould collect his ten
thousand? Will Mr. Draper take possession Of the
arsenal Will the committee organise Revolution
airy Tribunall We are curious 10 the issues Of
these feoeries.
Seriously however, no man OF sense has SIN
gle throb of pity for either of the two parties. The
evils complained of their joint production. Who
increased paper money! Who extended credits!
Who caused speculation Who passed the dis
trlbuton law? Who has cheated, humbugged and
deceived the people for six years Both parties-all
parties. They are now suffering the consequences
of their own acts. Let them take the chas,!soment
of Heaven without murmering. They deserve it.
Will the loafers in rags meet the loafers in lace to
night a, Masonic Hall ? There.
They hold high carnival"
