Sir, will not look on the picture. Will not I'M
agne what spectacle shall be exhibited, when this
country not only halts in her onward march, but
recedcs; when she tracks back in the long and
rapid strides of her forward movement; when she
sets herself to undo all that she has done; when
she renounces the good she has attained when she
obstructs credit destroys enterprise, arrests COM
merce, and smothers manufactures"
The system of the administration has progressed
only three years and six months, since the above
predictions made, and now see "a new
America" On the map where the United States
stood, once prosperous in agriculture, COM
merce, and manufactures, we behold much to dis
courage, and but little to cheer Our currency is
disordered, and deprecated. Our banks refuse to
redeem their bills; credit is impaired multitude
of our merchants have failed our manufacturers
have dismissed their help, and closed their works ;
the price of southern cotton has fallen the north
ern wool-growers cannot sell their wool the far
mers in general will have to market their products
at very reduced prices, and the wages of hired men
must come down accordingly. These fruits of
experiments tried by Gen Jackson, aided and ad-
vised by Martin Van Buren, to obtain ga better
rency." But what were these experiments? For
information this subject the reader is referred to
the address to the people published in last by the
Wing Convention, holden at Montpelier, July 18TH
In this address the reader will see the several ex-
perimcnts and their effect de]ineaed. After under
standing what the experiments were, and their ruin
GUS effects, where is there an honest freeman who
can appreciate the Van Buren, policy? Can our
growers and farmers do it Can the laboring man,
who Is reduced to half wages, do it? If you can
not, then seek relief at the ballot box the first
Tuesday of September next. This is the time and
place to correct political evils in government.
Give your sufrages for men, who disapprove of this
| intermeddling with the currency under false pre-
| fences Of making it better
