care the editors of the Waterman APP
priced that even the loco foco editor of the
N. Y. Plaindealer, Mr.. Leggett, disavows
the idea OF iavoring an exclusive metallic
currency ?"-W. Patriot.
Yes and the Patriot diSarO,rs it-and
Benton himself may disaro,o it but who
will beliepe them II is very easy thing
for the whole pack of presses TO diSdpo1c all
the udious principles and measures of the
admin tration: a"d nov, Wnen that au-
| ninstratlon has come into disgrace with
the country, by the failure of its schemes
and the exposure of its humbuggery, it is
very natural that its presses should dist
uow almost every thing. We do think,
| however, ii will Ee an uphill business, for
them to cheat the people by their disavow-
ais. And now we will ask a question or
two. Is the Patriot identified with the
Plaindeaer, and, if so, will it denounce one
Martin Van Buren, for threatening the reto
on certain delicate subject? Is the editor
of the Patriot apprized of ,cAat ssH Of a
currency Mr.. Leggett is for! Does it know
that he is for private banking-or in other
words, a system of banking which will
throw the whole currency and industry of
the country at the mercy of the .fetc, who
are 80 fortunate as to be wealthy and able
to set up banking on their own hook? This
is the only sort of currency we have seen
suggested in the Plaindealer; and it seems
TO us To be nothing but system by which
the rich can mOnOpottse the monetary bu-
siness of the country and speculate upon
the peopie-a system traught with Hsury
aed robbery, and, like the private banking
establishments Of Europe, anti-republican
and ar:stocratic. Does the Patriot 90 for
such a system!

Trouble in the camp. Sometime since
we published the letter of Senator Tall
madge Of New York, on the subject Of the
currency, in which he denounced the loco
focos and hard money humbuggers-alia
Bentonltes-ln no measured terms. Since
that, body, assuming to be the V. D. COM
mittee ut Albany, have published an adj
dress to the people of New York, in which
'l'c ,-;au-c &c San~.~- ~ IL -.'s~ "iv duOP-
led in preference to those of the Missouri
humbugger. These documents have crea-
ted a division in the Van Buren, party, both
IN New York and in other states. So far,
however, as the presses are any indication
of the feeling Of the Van Buren, party, we
should say, that a ma jorlty will sustain the
Talmadge letter, while the minority go
with the loco locos. This division of the
party, which has thus far sustained the adj
minstrations of Jackson and Van Buren,,
is only new evidence that the popularity
of A. jackson, that has hitherto held the
conflicting elements of 'the democracy in
check, has lost its magic power So be il:
when measures once more come TO be re-
garded instead of men, there will be some
thing to hope for the country. The dis
honest dcmagogues s. the shallow pated Sex.
perimcnters,' will then find their level, and
the government will be conducted by bet
ter men and distinguished by wiser meas
ures. Let the pretended democractic lead
ers spend their breath in quarrels: the pep
pie will take care of themselves.
p. S. Something like 600 " democrats
have signed letter to Senator Tallmadgc,
approving his views; and the loco focos
are out upon them, as bank men, aristo-
Gratis, monopolists, and all that sort of beau
tful explosives, which form the slang of
the party presses.

in the administration as well as in the forms

rights and privileges as the birthright o

Q. Resolved, That while we discard al

Popery and politics. 1t is fact, which
ought to be generally known, that GER
tain Rev. Mr.. O'Callaghan, a Ponish E"'Ga'
who resides at Burlington, has entered the
political arena-of course, on the side OF
Mr.. Van Buren,. This man publishes his
political dispositions in the Burlington Sen
tinel and Bennington Gazette, and allixes
his name, so that all of the Catholic faith
can at once understand the high papal au-
thority by which the articles of their polit-
ical creed are expounded. We also I'M
derstand that this man is equally liberal in
scattering his political notions from the pull
pit. Since the appearance of Mr.. Van Blu
ren's letter to the Romish court, Tor rather
church,) it is quite natural to suppose that
the Catholics in this country would favor
him; but we have not, until now, learned
that the priesthood dare openly enter and
occupy the political field.

D-Judge White has replied to General
Jackson, and he boldly declares that the
great object of Jackson has been,-ever
since the U. S. Bank refused 10 yield to his
bidding and enter the political arena as a
party bank-to make a monstrous TREA-
SURY BANK and by that means to cen
tire all power over the purse and the sword,
and over the whole business Of the coun-
try, in the Erecutiuei TO this end he de-
clares, the U. S. Bank was put down, and
to this end the official organ and its echos
are now denouncing and rejecting Benton

@~Lct il ever be remembered that the
country has been brought to bankruptcy
by EXECUTIVE INSPIRATIONS
The unsuccessful attempt to bring the u.
S. Bank into the aid of The late administra-
ton, came from the Executive department.
The removal of the deposites followed, by
the Executive, and against the will OF Con-
gress. The pet bank system was in the
first instance got up by the Executive ; and
the Treasury Circular was issued by the
Executive, and gainst the will of Congress.
Hence the poll cal war has been, by one
side to increase Executive pOcer, and on
the other side to reduce Executive po,cer.
Hence the parties have been named Wing
and Tory, as they are for or against the
increase of KINGLY POWER.

put in circulation respecting UzAL HOPKINS,

undertaken the construction of railroad in

following paragraph from the "Louisia,aa
