THE MERCHANTS-TIIE PRESSURE.
We Of the West Lave but little idea Of the deep
which pervadcs ,ae commercial commune
ty Of our seaboard cities; but it will, in short tme,
pcrmeate every part Of our heretofore prosperous
country. The only way, in our opinion, to perma-
nenty restore prosperity, will be to abolish
almost all the local banks which have been char
tered since the destruction of the United States
bank; but they should not be recklessly broken
down the executive appears determined on doing
Ii this government establish a national bank
with branches in the diffcren, States, il would he
so much preferred that the 10 cal banks would grad
ualy get out Of business
We have dc voted considerable portion Of this
weeks paper to the publication Of several articles
On the subject, and the proceedings of a meeting
held by the merchants o: New York, who have APP
pointed delegation of fifty or sixty to wait on Mr.
Van Buren,, and so';ci, the repeal Of the Treasury
Circular. He certainly dare not refuse to grant
heir petition; but if he should and stall persist ia
mis- mad career, revolution will be the consequence,
nd "to arm,!'' will be pcaled in tones Of thunder
on the tocsin Of public Indignation Revolution, al
ready las its advocates. Resistance and defiance
have become common words; and curses loud and
deep aped upon the Executive. One Of the
committee appointed to 90 TO Washington to urge
the repeal declines accepting the appointme and,
doing the following language:
''ln the first place, l am one Of the many who
have sunk under the calamties Of the times; and,
for the turpitude of failure. the firm in which am
partner, has been sued in due course Of law
furhear to comment on the conduct Of n man who,
at such time the present, will adopt course SO
useless, 50 cruel, 80 oppressive, very far remov-
ed from all feelings Of forbcarance and generosity
1t is Il matter of course, that man who will sue
me here, would take measures to arrest me in a
foreign state; hence, I am unable to proceed to
Washington.
In the second place, am UNIV Hing to proceed
to Washington, because, am Who will never
consent under any circumstances, TO 'remonstrate'
with Martin Van Kuren. | will never place my
selfin a situation to be denied a solicited favor by
any individual Of creed in politics and patriot
ism(O Furthcrm"7c. am persuaded that a man
who smile (as Nero fdded) over and during
the dcsolaion of his native land, is entitled to no
such consideration and forbearahce as to receive
"remonstrances.' When some other and more
SUMMARY course is proposed. and the pursuing
it is placed in the hands of TEN THOUSAND, 4
for hold my self ready to discharge my duty to
my country. e. S. GOULD.
"a GONE SrcKER.~-We published some weeks
since article with the above CAPTION which sun

copied the sdrty little thing he calls it, from
the "Newspaper," published oy Mr.. Emmons, in
Nob'esvillc, in this state,to whom ssunce Jonathan
is referred. We meant no disrespect to .suncle
Jonathan in publishing it, and in justice to HIM,
we will to readers that we believe the anec-
