give notice to their lower tiers of "the de- mocracy" of the course they are about to
 pursue, and not call upon them, without 8
 moments warning, to tack about, and go
 right in the teeth of every thing they have been ordered to say for several years past.-
 They may depend upon it they lose ground 1 in this way because it places a man in an :.
 awkward situation before his friends, to
 force him to contradict, point blank, one
 week, what he has asserted the week before. l In addition to this, 1t makes man appear
 like a blockhead, to tell him, and make him tell others, that what he has been harp
 ing upon for months, and even years, is not
 true. It is bad enough to charge a man with
 saying what is not true but to make him
 own It, IS very harsh and unreasonable. The Globe, the great town-clock of Van Burenism, has very recently discovered that l 1t never contended for an exclusive metallic
 currency and out the editor comes in his
 own paper and roundly asserts it to be so.- 1 Now the smaller fry of the party, who look l to that great thermometer of politics to as-
 certain what the state of the atmosphere is, ] are taken by surprise, and placed in an irk- l some and mortifying situation not merely l because they have made a mistake where they thought themselves perfectly secure of praise for obedience to orders; but the new orders go directly to defeat their favorite plan of policy, which has been to destroy all the banks in the country, and in that way to get rid of rag-money entirely. This is too much for poor human nature, worn out and jaded in the service, to bear.
 Among those who appear to suffer the most under this severe trial of feeling, is the able and disinterested editor of the New-Haven
 Register-a long tried and faithful servant of the Kitchen Cabinet, and whose sincerity in their service has been abundantly proved by the exertion of every faculty he possesses, and especially by commendable disregard of all principle, whenever in his opinion, the necessities of the party require it. His mas- ters at Washington probably fiattered them selves, for experience of his talents and fidel- ity, that they might exact of him whatever might suit their convenience, without expect ing to be questioned. And we do not doubt, after all that has passed, they were much sur- prised to find this worthy democrat boggle at swallowing the last orders that have been issued from the Commander in Chief. We confess we were; and should not have won- dered more at hearing a dray-horse complain of his driver, for putting one more keg upon his cart, because there was too large load on already. But there is a time when the most serviIe animal will rebel, if an attempt is made to lay upon him the last fatal pack age, which is to break his back. The fol- lowing article is from the New-Haven Regis ter, patriotic paper published at New-Ha- ven, Con. by Joseph Barber, Esq.

 !" Prepare for another Paper Bubble.-Some of the leading democratic papers, the Globe among the number, have within few days past denied that they ever contended for a metallic currency-or that President Jack son, MT. Benton, or any other prominent friend of the administration, ever contended for any thing more than the suppression ot small notes, and the regulating of paper currency on specie basis. The Globe quotes Mir. Rives, of Virginia, as having ex- pressed the views of Gen. Jackson, MT. Ben- ton and the friends of the administration gen. orally, when he said in Congress that we could not abandon paper currency, which had grown up with the growth of the country that such aesystem, well regulated by the expulsion ofsmall notes, must be continued. We we'll recollect the sentiments of MT. Rives, and we thought them sound at the time they were uttered 1; but we did under stand others, and certainly Mir. Benton and the Globe itself, not only as going the whole hog, but hog and a half beyond MT. Rivcs and even so far as to advocate something very like an exclusive metallic currcncy.-- We certainly understood these things to mean fixed determination to rid the conn- try of paper as Q circulating medium-and we UCCaluC III q nlCdSuTcs COiNCILo lO UT" p'C. posed system, hoping that the time would come when the rag money ot State Banks would seldom afllict the wealth producing classes ofthe community. But it seems now that we misunderstood language which ap-- peared to be plain nothing has been said by leading politicians and leading papers, which could be fairly construed into deter, imitation of those who have influence, to rld the country of paper circulating medium; the State Banks are to be sustained III al! their unconstitutional power and glory ana the democratic party must now come out anu unite with the whigs in blowing up another paper bubble, until it shall produce another tremendous burst in the year 184O, or sooner. But it is said that these State Banks must be regulated on specie basis. There is no re- form in this. It is only holding the promlse to the ear of men who canno: be much long CT duped with professions. It sthe perform, ance of justice that they want, and they wiii have it. This specie basis, IS baseAess Vis- ion ; every bank whig has ever, and does now talk of specie basis but they mean
 paper for the people, and little specie Tn the
 vaults of banks for the use of the better Pars of community. The leading politicians o1
 New-York, the 700 addressers of letter to
 MT. Senator Tallmadge, mean satety 1uho
 rag money-and a large portion ol sae & Pioe e l fessedly democratic papers o1 tne ota.e o. New York, mean rag agmoney-ano all a't1'Hp' is making to change the specie pass wolu nl-
 to paper money, and every one wno opposes ! the change is branded loco foco."
