General Jackson and Mr.. Benton
have now the satisfaction of seeing
their project Of a hard money currency,
almost realized. The specie currency
is the only medium, and the country
has so completely lost confidence in
the State banks, which were said to
be so admirably calculated to answer
all purposes, much better than the
" MONSTER" that the notes of all OF
them, are, comparatively, no currency
if we except Mr.. Biddle's Bank. -
A glorious time of it, have We now.
The whole amount Of specie now IN
the country, is estimated to be between
so anu 90 millions of dollars. This
amount is to form our circulating me-
