OPPOSITION TO MERCHANTS.

Our opponents are continually charging the demo-
cratic party with hostility TO the mercantile interests,
and it has been repeated often that many incln
ed to believe that il must be true. We hope, however,
to show that the charge without the least foundation,
only far tho merchants array themselves against
democratic principles and measures; then, and then
only, do democrats oppose the merchants
But what is the true state OF the case II is simply
this that those who get their living by trade and
merce, very apt look with supercilous contempt
upon the farmer and mechanic who obtain their living
by the sweat Of the brow. The young man who gets
admission into a counting room, and wears little finer
cloth than formerly, inagnes that he raised above
his former companions even his own brothers who
continue to follow the plough, learning useful
trades He grows up with this feeling, and he in
in years and in wealth, he begins to consider
himself among the honorable Of the Garth Arstocralic
feelings and habits contracted, and he nall, looks
upon the farmer and mechanic, and indeed upon all who
engage in manual labor class OF beings below him.
This pride Of feeling and manners is disgusting and
offensive to sensible men, tina, they but dcspise
or pity the person who INDUCES in it, 1t is the same
kind Of feeling manifested also in politics, that is pro-
ductive Of SO much i'll feeling Hence the phrase Of
silk stockings and ruffled shirt party" which is fire.
quenty applied to opponents. Not but that good
democrat wear silk stockings and ruled shirt
there is improperly in this, but The evil is in consd-
erng himself better than his ncghbors this account
This idea Of superiority is carried into politics, and
the merchant appears think that he is entitled to Pc
cuti pfNegcs III cEiSlaOn, anu tnat laws IOr Inc es-
pecial protection Of trade and commerce should be en-
sccd As special legislation, the comforting Of
elusive privileges is contrary to the spirit and letter Of
the Constitution, and democrats unwilling to
grant exclusive privileges to any class Of citizens the
merchant inerprets this act Of hostility to that
class OF people. Hence from the days Of Jefferson to
the present time, the merchants body have arraycd
themselves against every democratic administration
Jefferson and Madison were both denounced vision
aries aud charged with being opposed TO commerce

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The following extract from the Message is worthy Of
regard, and shows that Mr.. Van Buren, corresponds
with the expression Of his sentiments relation TO
the credit system. He says with sincerity
desire not to undervaue the benefits of salutary
credit to any branch Of enterprise The credit bestowed
probiy and industry, the just reward Of merit. aud
honorable incentive to further acquisitions. None
oppose it who love their country and understand its
welfare ~
In regard 10 his other doctrines about the SubTrea-
sury system say, have not changed from the
we have heretofore marked out Our views, in
relation TO this system, have been made known from
time to time, and good reason for abandoning
the principles first arowed In his recommendation
to Congress, Mr. Van Buren, evnces reconcilng spirit
which will submit to whatever may be deemed Just and
proper. And from manifestation given in a part Of
Congress- as regards the selection OF the Madisonan
the advocate OF those conservative doctrines which have
met the appreciation of the generous and the
lghtencd, We may anticipate the promotion Of the
general welfare. Our opinions Of this measure were
not gotten up in moment time and reflection have
proven their correctness and we are happy to see that
the people are beginning and more to acqniesce
~ our course Ours is no visionary scheme that would
fail IN practice u Is in perfect accord with reason,
whilst consideration gives to II Importance.
This question of the Sub Treasury system has excited
much soicitude. Men Of intelligence and patriotism
have been drawn into the arena Of debste-and il has
become the al-eugrossng subject The eyes Of all
turned towards remedy for the evils which alct u.s.
II is question which will require the combined wisdom
Of Cougressfor the credit, the independence and the
prosperity Of country involved in the issue.
Upon this subject decided, for we believe with
Gen. Jackson, that aB
