business Since the terrible revulson of last spring
all these fanatical movements in religion and pohucs
have declined and come back TO moderate humbug and
reasonable charlatanyie We have more strikes for
wages-no professions Of Trades Unions building
of expensive churches-no special revvals of religions
no new development of party or plety-no extrasr-
binary humbups unless it be that of "animal magnet
,sm.n which bleckhead called COL Stone, has at
temp,ed TO revive in the world as hole to creep away
fran the perticoas of Maria Monk escape from the
breaches of Matthias bury his fooleres in the
yeres of anti masonry.
As in politics and religion, so it was in fashion and
high life. The same class Of society who fell in the
revulsion were those who carried extravaganza in
houses, dress, horses, table, wines, and fashionable
travel beyond all bounds and all moderation. Not
possessing the elements of cool, practical philcso.
ply, cultivation or taste, which have always cha
racterized the enlightened merchant in every age and
in every country, they mistook shew for elegance
extravaganza for splendor-and brazened-faced as
sumption for sapoir rirre. The good, old, steady,
COOL patient wise, industrious Knckerbockers, and the
sons of Knckerbockers, who have now come out OF
the hurricane with the loss of few spars indeed, and
perchance little rigging but with their vessels safe IN
port, stood by, during these times of Madness and
patiently watched until the tide of folly should roll
away. They have done so, and here they are raising
their honest heads above the recedng pillows Of folly
and extravaganza TO cheer a world race, and
to convince Europe that yet solid, sound, and
solvent.
Such, therefore, may be considered true descrp-
ton of the scenes of the last few years. Before the
commercial world, the city of New York stands as
high as honorable, as enlightened she ever did,
We have only gone through wholesome but severe
publication. We have taken medicine and we feel
the better for it. An enlightened merchant is the
greatest of philosophers. He is neither fanatic in
religion, a mailman in politics. fool IN fashion,
specuator in trade actor in any great de-
partment of human life. Hes of science of the
most undoubed sagacity. The general features in the
personal characters of the honorable names we have
recorded this day, will be found to correspond with the
beam ideal of the character we have described. Pa
tien cool sagacious enterprsing bat not crazy, New
York posse sses in them the germs Of greater tri-
umph in commerce than the world dreams of. By the
failures of last spring, have got rid of the the sur
plus steam that endangered the great boat of COM
merce. The scum has now thrown itself of, and
the fine gold remains From this time FORTH the COM
mercial advancement of New York, on a new and
improved basis of moderation in politics, religion, and
fashion, will be unmpeded. We can shew Europe
that we possess the mind and the talent to conduct
this country to point of mercantile eminence, high
er and prouder, and surer and frmer than the world
ever saw. We commences era-an era of COM
mercal and social science. During the last six years
our politicians and bankers, by their adulterous con-
nection in the legislative hail. and the ballot box
have involved one third Of the community in utter
and disgraceful rum Two thirds of the merchants
and the greater bulk of the farmers have alone survi
we'd the convulsive shock. Let all learn wis
dom from the past-and we will learn it.
With these remarks we now place before our nu-
merous readers in this country and in Europe the list
to which ws have referred, not that it contains all
the names that ought to be there but that embra
ces every name we could accurately collect in ten
days past, with every degree Of caution that it might
be accurate and full. We trust tina, the mercantile
community in England France and Germany will
do the United States the justice to believe that the
great commercial body of this republic are yet sound
solvent, responsible active honorable en,erprisng,
and ready, armed cap pie" to begin new era Of
better and firmer footing than any
that have preceded
