UThe CYLINDRICAL SCHEME OF AN EXCIU-
We METALLIC CURRENCY has nercr been en-
krtained by the friends of the past or the
resent administration, nor has there been
he slightest attempt to interfere tcith the
'allmadrc on this point properly receives
be approval of his political brethren. a
irrency erciusiucly metallic has never been
roposed, nor advocated either by President
ackson, Mr.. Pan Buren,, Mr.. Benton, or
ny other friend of the administration, high

locracy." Washington Globe.
We don't believe that The administration
If tho Globe ever did entertain the chlmer-
al scheme of an Exclusive Metallic Curren-

sieople believe so. II would furnish rare
musement for any who has time 10 waste,

we're found that some Ol The friends OF the

aimed the idea Of an Exclusive Metallic
Currency, or were very great hypocrIes and
knaves.
II makes very little difference whether

When the independence Square Meeting
was held ia Philadelphia on the 22d Of May
and resolutions were adopted favoring an
"Exclnsive Metallic Currency"-did not
the Globe copy aud approve the resolutions
Did il not pursue the same course with re-
gard 10 the New York and Washington
Hard Money Meetings? Has il not on all
occasions held out the idea that "Bank
Rags" were 10 he utterly "ADoLIsHED ;"and
y that il General Jackson had his way, there
should be no other currency than one Of the
81 Precious Metals? And now, iorS0olh at.
ter it has been keeping up the Humbug for
years, the Globe virtually admits that it all
was Humbug-and that the administration
knew infinitely better than ever tn indulge
the "chimcrical scheme ofan Exclusive Me
talic Currency"
The meaning OF thia new movement OF
The Glhbe is ohvou. The TaIlmadgc let
ter-the Republican Committee OF Albany
and the 700 Tam eany men-have APP
psrenily brought about this change. Ken
dallism, Benionism, Ingersoilism and Lnco
Foc0isn must he Tor the time al least aban-
doned. Mr.. Van Buren, finds Tammany
the strongest-and the Globe knows iha.
Mr.. Van Buren, has true instinct for ma
| ioriies.
The Globe desires 10 tfanquiize the
Public Mind TO bring back the descrerS;
and temperate on the Congressional cleo
tons that are soon to take place in different
sections OF the country. Ii finds that the
administration has carried things with too
high a hand-and that il is necessary TO
yield little in the hopes Of retaining a
grea deal.
The peopc now learn that they have sui
fered in defence OF doctrines uiie"ly aban-
doned by their first advocates; thai they
hive been trompled and crushed TO sustain
opinions, which are now on all sides de-
nounced ms ''chimcrica :" that they have
been deceived by promises never inten-
ded to be kept, and hopes which were ex-
cited only 10 he disappointed. Those who
adhere TO the original views VI the party
and who honestly believe in Specie
Currency, are now derded for their credui-
~, and charged with the pursuit of dreams
and "chimeras." The Tory leaders, and
the Tory presses, are now driven to the
very ground which the Wings have occu-
pied Tor years. Their own positions are
corving in aud breaking away under iheil
ieet. What confidence can the PEOPLE
place in them Tor the luture' What trus
can the WHO'S repose in their present pro
LESSONS and promises? What faith cal
any man have in their future ExPEIIMENTs
Not the slightest. Our only hooe il in
