/ The Loco Focos may prepare to wheel by
Kingdoms. Mr.. VAN buren, HAS DESERTED
THEM and Benton and Jackson too. The
voice of Tammany is heard in Washington.
The Evening Post is cut. Benton is thrown
overheard, and Rives, hereafter, is to be the
demi-god. The Globe says
| "The CHIMERICAL SCHEME Of an exclusive
metallic currency has nerer been entertained
by the friends of the past or present Admin
istration. nor has there been the slightest Gt-
tempt TO interfere With the CREDIT SYSTEM.
| The sentiment Of Mr.. Ialimadge on This
point properly receives the APPROVAL of his po-
titicat BRETHREN. A currency exclusively
metal llic has neper been proposed nor advo-
Gated either by President Jackson, Mr.. Van
Buren,, Mr.. Benton, or any other friend of the
| ADMINISTRATION.
| Mr. Rives, of Virginia, was among the
FIRST mark this to propose the measure, on
which the last, and present administration in
sist, viz: Specie circulation for the producers
of our wealth-0F BANK ISSUES and Ex-
CHANGES for the MERCANTILE CLASSES and
for the EXCHANGES Of our commodities.
\ Our political opponents have MTsREPREsES-
TED us on this point, and it was probably deem
ed prudent to make this public expression,
with view TO silence their SANDERS"
| Ye thirty thousand gods Of Athens, did ye'
ever hear such impudence! The policy Of
seven years. war is abandoned in a breath,
and the Wings are accused of "msrepresen-
tation!" Old Hickory did not do things in
this way. When he heard the thunder of
Tammany, he knew it would frighten the ma
gician of Kinderhook. The party that long
made itself criminal, is now ridiculous. It's
tempted by the ghost its experiment has con-
jured up.
Exactly sixty days ago and no more-says
the National lnteligencer Of the 22d-the
Globe held the following language:-
"The difference between silver and gold,
TIE TRUE JACKSON MONEY, and bank money,
is now well understood by the people. The
value of the former does not depend on the
prudence or honesty of individuals, because
it contains within itself all the value it pro-
fesses to represent. But bank money has no
intrinsic value. At the best, it is but The pro-
mise Of corporation,or Of an individual, which
may, or may not be fulfilled. Its value often
evaporatcs, while it is in the pocket of its
owner, &c. &C." And later still. ION the 3lst
Of Mny) in speaking Of the Banking system
generally the same official Journal said =
"Every patriotic republican in the Union looks
to Congress to deiiper the government from oil
| dependence on a class of men hostile to its
| principles, and who have contrived to strip it
Of the means Of meeting the appropriations
with forty million surplus
| After commenting with proper severity on
the impudent and base regeneration of the
late declaration Of the Globe, quoted above
from the N. Y. Express, and contrasting it
with its notorious and savage warfare on oil
bank and mercantile credit, the Courier and
Enquirer remarks:
| "The truth lies thus. Mr.. Van Buren, is a
| political coward. He is nearly frightened
out of his wits by the recent movement OF the
| Tammany men-whvIn he justly considers
ms the back bone of his party. He according
ly directed his creature, Blair, to write trim
ming article, yielding the principles OF the
past Administration, Just enough to conclliate
the Suchems Of the Great Wigwam. Blair
could not do this, however, without giving the
most direct contradiction to all his former
professions. lie will find thut he has ruined
himself his master, and his party beyond The
remotest possibility OF redemption. Such
conduct besides disgusting all the honest par
tisans OF Mr.. Van Buren,, will drive OFT the
Loco Foco's, and others Tho were hanging
on the skirts OF the present dynasty"
/ We have received the American .4nti
| Slavery almanac for 1888; accompanied with
a request for notice. The frontispiece IS
cut representing an Abolitionist, with an axe,
cutting down the tree Of Slavery, while
crowd of worthless, among whom MARTIN
| VAN buren, is prominent, are endeavoring to
hold Il up. This is as il should be. Martin
Van Buren, has declared that he enters the
Presidential chair "the stern aud uncompro-
missing opponent of Abolition" Yet will 1t
be believed that the Democratic! party in this
State, have endesvored to persuade the Abo-
litionists that by voting for Van Buren, men
and measures they would promote tho cause
Of humanity, the cause in which they are 80
zealously engaged. The friends Of Anti
Slavery are not however thus to be deceived.
They now plainly see that the energies OF
the present Administration are exerted a
gainst the cause in which they have enlisted:
that Fan Buresism and .Aboiitionism are m-
compaiibie.-[.N Bedford Mercury.
