MR.. PATRONS SPEECH.
DOCTRINES OF "a AND '37.

We republish to-day the speech of this
gentleman on the Bill regulating the Depo-
sites, delivered during the session commence
ing December, 1884. 1t contains a correct
view Of the doctrines of the administration in
1884; and adds another link to the chain of
testimony we have heretofore introduced, to
show that the advocates Of Sub Treasures
on the side Of the present administration, have
iorsaken the policy Of two years ugo, and
chopped round" into the embrace Of the dar-
ling projects of the opposition of that time.
The policy Of the present hour, "it is as
palpable as the sum-" is the antipodes of
the policy Of 1884. The project Of separa-
ting the government from banks, was repu-
dated in "a by an |" organ distinguished by
the confidence and favor of the administra-
tion," as REVOLUTIONARY AND DIsoRGANIz-
ING as calculated to put the public money
directly into the Z" PALMS Of the friends and
partizans of the Executive, and expose it to
be "PLUNDERED BY AN HUNDRED HANDS,
where one cannot now reach it." Now we
are told that, the " democracy of the country
will rally in favor Of this measure Of reform"
and we, forsooth, are imputed deserters from
the party, because we will not rally in sup
port of the proposition Of 1Messrs Gordon,
Leigh & Gouge. Methinks the shoot is on
the other Leg" and that they arc the deserters
who have forsaken the paths the Republicans
have always trodden, and embraced doctrines
which we have always been taught, were
dangerous, Disappointing and revolutionary"
by the very oracles that are now denouncing
us, because we will not, like them, thus pre-
cipitately turn our backs upon ourselves"
President Jackson told us that the accom-
plshment of the reform commenced by him,
would " form ain era in the history of our
country, which will be dwell upon with de-
light by every true friend Of its liberty and in
dependence" Is such glorious prospect to
be surrendered to the revolutionary and dis
organizing" doctrine Of leaving the banks and
the people, now, when they most require. the
interposition of government, to take care of
themselves ! President Jackson told us, that
'as little discretion as possible should be
given to executive agents !" and the Globe

From the Neuark IN, ~ Eagle.
Hon are the mighty talien ~ Ninety-one "AigA
minded Wing members Of Congress brought
ooer 10 the corrupt Naturalization IN the
short space Of three days
Mr.. Thomas Allen, editor of the Madiso-
Man, an administration paper recently estab-
lished at Washington, who started for the
Office of Printer to the House Of Represen-
tatives with only TWENTY-FIVE votes,
having drawn over and secured the votes of
NlNETY-ONE Wing members, has been
elected printer.
10 prove that neisher Mr.. Allen, nor his
twenty-five original supporters had any COM
munlty OF feeling or interest with these con-
yerts, we give the following extract from the
Prospectus of his paper, which stood at the
head of its columns while the canvass was
going on. Speaking of the Wings he there
says:
Exnlting in the anticipation Of dismay
and confusion amongst the supporters Of the
administration in consequence of our difficult
ties and embarrassments, the opposition are
consoling themselves with the idea that Mr..
Van Buren's friends, as national party, are
verging to dissolution and they allow no OPP
portunity to pass unimPreved to give eclat to
their own doctrines. They are, indeed, ma
turing plans Tor their own future government
of the country, with seeming confidence of
certain success" "To meet these indica-
tons this undertaking has been instituted, and
1t is hoped it will produce the effect of inspir-
ing the timnd with courage, the responding
with hope, and the whole country with conf
dence in the administration OF its govern
ment."
In the very face Of these declarations and
peared in every number Of the Madisonian
since its commencement. Mr.. Allen received
NINETY-ONE whig votes, and is elected
printer to the House, leaving Gales a. Seaton,
the old wing editors of the rntelligencer with
only NINE votes. What prostration of
Whiggery was there and how completely
were the wings cut generated by the twenty
two supporters Of Mr.. POLK for the Speak
er's Chair.
1t appears that on Sunday night, previous
to the meeting of Congress, the wing mem,-
bers threatened the twenty-five "conserva-
tives" to let Mr. Blair come in as printer, and
crack his whip over them for the next two
years if they voted for Polk and vet they
did vote for Polk--and yet the whigs-the
high-minded, lofty bank wings. came eau
tiousiy and plainly over, joined themselves to
the twenty-five, and voted for friend Of the
administration, an anti National Bank man as
printer.
Here is a true exhibition of whig princi-
ple-of wing ighmindedness-of wing con-
slstency. All they want is power and place
they are prepared to sacrifice their party
their country-every thing for little brief
authority 1.-THE honest, well meanings wings
are not ashamed of the conduct Of their re-
representatives. in this matter, they deserve to
be ranked among Johnny Randolph's Dough
faces.

INCREASE OF BANK CAPITAL.

TO gain advocates in bad cause which
owes not little of its support to sophistry
and misrepresentation, it is urged by the ene-
mics of the State Banks, that they are Wing
monopolies, created by Wings, owned by
Wings, and controlled by Wings; and that
their capital has been increased by Wing
Legislatures. And appeals are made to the
base prejudices Of political partizans, to put
down and destroy these institutions, (which
existed before the Federal Government, and
without whose aid that Government would
never have been called into existence,) be-
cause they are said to be owned and controlled
by political adversaries!
II there are any institutions in the world
which are republican, one would think they
would be those, where any man can borrow;
who has any credit or any security; where
any man can lend, who has money or any
man be stakeholder who chooses, and any
one director who is chosen.
Much has been said about the worthless
ness Of paper currency. If it be, in truth,
Dorthiess rags. it cannot be very dangerous
monopoly; and those who own bank stock,
are rather to be pitied for their misfortune,
than feared for their wealth or influence.
To those who have joined in the hue-and-
cry against the Banks, under the false belief
that they owed their origin and increase en-
tirely to our pelical adyersaries, we commend
the careful perusal, and inward digestion Of
the following simple statistics, which we be-
lieve will be found strictly in conformity with
the truth. ,

United States Bank Charter. The total in
crease in the nine States is, ffy.tour millions
forty-nine thousand nine hundred and forty
