To the Hon. Nathaniel p. Tallmade,

Senator of the United States:
SRA portion of your democratic fellow citz ms
residing IN The citv of New York, have long viewed,
with feelings of deep interest, the great calames
which have befalen our common country, and the
efforts which have been making, by urging the adop-
ton of an exclusive metallic currency and the over
throw of all existing institutions, To aggravate the
general evils and distress arising from the broken
and deranged eate of the currency and credit SYSTEM
The torrent ofevents had rolled on with such over
wheming force, and instances of suffering, agony
and irretrievable ruin, followed upon each other In
such rapid succession, that the minds of beholders
appeared TO be paralysed by the magnitude of the de-
strucon. After the CONSERVATION of this violent
shock had subsidized and the attention of those having
any permanent interest IN the preservation or liberty
and property, was directed TO the of restoring
the dropping trade suspended enterprise and indus
try anarprostrae confidence of the nation your let
ter to the editor of the Albany Argus was published
bearing date the 9th of June last. Its appearance
awakened feelings of joy and qualification. The prn-
cpes there SO boldly proclaimed and their importance
as asowed by one holding SO distinguished and favor
able station for giving effect to opinions, were hailed
as the first dawn If light in the darkness of the APP
preaching future
II was not surprising thcn that those who appeared
TO exult IN the general mislor'unes and instead Of
sympathslng with suilsrings unparalleled in the re-
cent experience of mankind, grew more presugling
and arrogant as the public spirit appeared 10 be bro
ken and subdued, should regard with an evil eve the
publication of your letter, and visit portion of Their
feelings OF disappointment upon yourself
Having brought forward in your letter the views
which appeared TO be embraced these subjects by
a large portion of your republican fellow citizens, a
letter has been prepared which has received the sig
natures of great proportion of your political friends,
TO whom the has been presented, and which
we have been delegated on their behalf to present TO
you.
We have now the happiness to deliver the same, in
performance of that charge.
Permit US to add that we regard the credit sys-
tenn as the great instrument which has developed
vast resources, extended our commerce. i'm
proved territory, advanced our civilization and
refinement and raised this youthful nation to proud
and equal standing with the ancient kingdoms of the
world.
As one of the chosen representatives of the republic
the future direction Of this mighty empire of human
advancement rests, in part with you and feel that
we have cause to congratulate political friends
and country that the important question of its
further use or existence your talents will be united
with the coGgenal sentiments responded TO in the
letter of our fellow citizens in aid and preservation of
9 well regulated credit system"
Accept the assurances of ourhigh consideration and
respect. JUDAH HAMMoSD
