fnancer" 1t seems not, indeed! for in
this Address, he declares, "The measures
recommended by him (Mr. Van Buren)
will answer all the valuable purposes Of a
National Bank, without being liable to a
single objection applicable to such an in
stitution."
viii they fufhSh the public witha uni,
form currency! No; they are not intend
ed to give US a currency Of any sort. The
12 millions of Treasury notes will be sold
by the office holders for what they will
bring in market-and there the maIter
will end until the Government redeems
them, Will they regulate exchanges?
No; the President says that IS no part OF
the business Of Congress. Will they com
pei resumption of specie payments by
the banks? No; the President says that
the banks and the people must work their
own way out of their difficulties. These
are, doubtless, purposes Of a National
Bank-and are they not valuable? Will
they answer any one purpose Of a Nation
al Bank? The sub-treasury Offices are IN
tended for no other purpose than the safe
keeping of the public money. Il is posi-
BILE that they will do this, but we are not
sanguine about it, We lived formerly in
the ncghborhood OF two custom houses,
neither of which was convenient to a de-
positc bank and majority Of the collect
ors in the two were detaulters. Ard the
New York Times. the Van Buren, organ
in that city, admits the dolalcation OF
1900! of Amos KcndaIl's little sub-treas-
urers. We don't think the public money
will be safely kept; but a standing table in
the Treasury Report entitled ~. States
Treasurer CIR. for Defalcatons' will pre-
serve. probably, pretty fair average one
year with another; so that this sum can
be made in year or two; the subject of a
pretty accurate estimate, in anticipation
of the Treasury losses. With national
bank, we should have no occasion Tor such
a table.
"The scrub nobility of the towns, the
men that feel themselves superior to the
multitude, because better dressed or better
fed; those thai deal out pecuniary lavors;
and the mercenary crew that hang around
them; these and the whole tribe of pension
ed scriviners NAV continue TO revile me,
but place my trust in the PEOPLE, who
have long known and long trusted me,
and feel that am safely anchored there"
That is exactly what we wish you TO
do-place your trust in the peopIe-resign
the post that you have unfairly obtained,
and let the people re-e!ect you. Come,
Colonel. no barney now! show that you
really are willing to trust the people. You
have the fairest chance possible TO prove
your sincerity.
"ScRUB NOBILITY OF THE TowNsI'-
Heaven preserve US from the wrath OF
Don Fernando Hamtrammock! We, poor
devils. that have scarcely been able 10
keep soul and body together, during the
. last summer--no. corn--no bacon--no
money to purchase either!
And the pensioned scrivnersare revlIlng
you, are they9 We suppose you mean
Editors, and put in wrong word for the
sake of the euphony. Now, seriously,
Colonel, don't you know that the govern
ment is the only power that can pension
any body; and don't you know that those
that the government pays are all sup
porting you? Look at the Mississipplan,
the Free Trader, the G. G.. Advertiser,

land furthermore, Colonel, can't you tell
US something about the establishment OF
a press in YaIobusha--the purchase OF the
press and types from gentleman IN Gin
ton ;--pray, Colonel, who are drawers ana
endorsers of the bill, for the purchase OF
these articles? Don't make mistake
now; if you do, we'll slam the proof right
at you.
And you are going to try the expert
ment of arraying the country people
against town people!
