Ex-PREsfDENr JAcKsoN's DErUrcIArIors.
What humiliating spectacle does this coun-
try present to the eyes of the world. The ma
ton bankrupt--lhe wheels Of industry stopped
our currency deranged-and all our national
affairs in confusion, while the man who was
lately dignifed with the office Of chief magis-
trate of the nation, not content with bringing
this evil upon his fellow countrymen while in
office by his mad experiment, is still engaged in
Illuminating forth from his retirement, denunci-
atoms against the merchants Of the land, and
endeavoring to stir up jealousy and strife be-
tween different classes of the people. "TuE
MERCHANTS" says he (see his letter. DE-
SERVE NO FAvoRs OF THE GovERSMEsr, tchom
they hare endearored 70 en,barrass, &c."--
What a dgnifed occupation for retired chief
magistratel Abusing the merchants as though
they alone had opposed his wild schemes and
reckless measures-as though their interests
were separate and distinct from the interests of
tile community as body has opposed the cur
rency measures of the late and present admin
istration-and here we think lies the secret Of
the relentless efforts of Jackson, the Globe aud
all his pensioned presses To embarrass and des-
troy the mercantile class. II is remarkable
fact that this class is TO a man opposed to the
measures of the administration party. They
know too well the ruinous tendency of these
measures.
But will the intelligent people Of this county
and Of this State, be moved by these denuncia-
tions' viii they believe that the merchants
are the veriest scourges Of the land that they
wish to embarrass the government in the reg
ular and constitutional administration of the az
fairs Of the nation' How supremcy ridiculous
is the thought. Whose interest is mole entire
" and exclusively bound up with the interest
Of the government than the merchandise Who
suffers more then he, by every arrangement of
The currency and exchanges
Can the people of this State be made to be-
ievc, on the authority of Gen. Jackson and the
Globe, yea, even IL endorsed by the political
'a,cyers of this county who know as much
about business us they do about the politics of
The moon, that the interest Of the merchant is
Independent of and distinct from that OF the
armer, manufacturer and mechanic? How,
ct us ask, can one Of these classes prosper
without the otheri What would the merchant
10 without the farmer aud mechanic? What
would the farmer do without the mechanic aud
he manufacturer to consume his produce, and the
merchant to exchange the necessaries which
he farmer wants for the surplus products of
lis land? What would farm be worth in
Nindham County, If the merchant, manufac-
urer and mechanic We're gomez Who would
'uy the wool, the butter, the graini
No, no. Such weak attempts TO evll the
'eople, excite their jeaiousies and array one
lass against another, may be adapted to some
attitudes, but they will never do in Vermont
The secret is, the merchants and manufacture
RS are strenuously opposing the efforts of those
authority to SEIZE THE MONEY POWER, and
hey know it, and hence their opposition. The
lawyers are with them. Ir the administration
arty can divide us and excite our jealousies of
ach other, they will conquer. Let us show
hem that the Green Mountain Bows are one
nd undivided-farmers mechanics, merchants
nd manufacturers, all, all are resoi,stelu ONO
cd 10 the increase Of po,rer and patronage in
he hands Of the Executive.
