This recommendation was repeated by the
late President in his succeeding annual Mes
sage. BY the deposite act of June, 1896,
for proportions of the public money beyond
a specific amount, the Deposite Banks mere
required 10 pay interest, which made it pria-
eipie of selEdefence, that they should erfend
their loans and increase their circulation /; be-
cause it was not to be expected that they
would lock up. and keep unemployed, the public
money, on tchich they ue,e bound to pay IN
fcrest, These two causes combined, certainly
produced an excess in the bank discounts and
circulation Of the country. This excess has
been increased by another cause, which Mr..
fancy nor Congress did not, or could not,
have anticipated The vacuum which was
anticipated by the refusal to renew the charter
of the Bank of the United States, was never
produced; for, contrary to all expectation,
the capital and stockholders of that bank were
subsequently incorporated by the State Of
Pennsylvania, which continued in circulation
its notes, and prevented any material diminu-
ton in its discounts.
lappeal, then. to the good sense Of this
House to say, whether the excessive issues
complained Of have not been produced by
causes, calculated in their very nature 10 mis-
lead and produce the excess complained of,
without the slightest imputation Of fraud or
corruption against the banks

exists between the finances Of the Govern
ment and the Deposite Banks, was produced

Matters and things now begin TO stir. Members
are slowly coming IN; the weather is fine. There is
to be change in the cabinets this news exclusive.
Since the New York election Van Buren, has come
to the determination 10 make change in all his de-
partmenis. Every man that has not previously been
known as his working friend, is to be turned out of
office. The work will commence first in this city
next at New York in the custom house, post office,
&c. Kendall and Blair have forced this step upon
him-lhey have the controlling power. The President
knows that his suat on is a delicate one-ths he ac-
knowledges and charges the loss Of New York to
the inactivity of cool friends who were feeding out of
the public crib, and some of them open enemies TO
the administration He says that there shall
not be office in the country, 50 far his influence
extends, but shall be filled by his own open and IN
fluenial advocates Weird TO this effect has already
gone forth the departments. 1t is proper step for
him. but should have been taken year ago TO be of
the service required.
Calhoun has pledged the vote of the South to sus-
tain the Treasury scheme Benton will drop his
golden humbug and fight upon that policy. Wright
says that if immediate action is taken upon the treas
ury scheme, and il is carried, that it will give Van Blu
rem greater vote for the next term than any other
president has received since the days of Washington
The President attributes the great reaction that has
taken place. TO the influence of the banks-deprive

These figures tell curious tale. II is very certain
that more actual voters reside in this state, during
the present year. than in 1884 The natural progress
of population must have increased them-yet The
strange fact is presented Of great dimnuon at the
polls-a dimnution Of Al ,427 the side Of Van Bu-
ren and OF 977 on the side of the wings.
II is very evident therefore, that, in this state the
recent election is only preliminary step to the terri
bic contest which will take place for Governor, Con-
gress and the Legislature fall The forces of Van
Buren, are not diminished-they are only resting on
their oars Many changes Of opinion may have ia
ken place during the last year, but ought not s
close eyes the fact that these changes did
alter the complexion of this state The revolution
has been caused by the apathy of both psrties-the
greater apathy of one party than the ohcr-the abb
sencc from the polls OF 81 3l7 votes of which Al 427
were Van Buren, and 1897 wings. If the wings,
from these results fancy the future game TO be entire
ly in their hands they will find themselves mistaken.
They may rest assured that fearful effort will be
made next year. and preliminary effort in our spring
elections.
Since the recent election, many of the wings have
indicated strong symptoms Of prescription, Of hatred,
OF savage ferocity towards these who neutral or
independent. Let them take care what they are
about The time nor the prospect il favorable for
the indulgence Of bitter animostes towards neuras
OF opponents. Their policy ought to be to conciliac,
not 10 drive away-to awaken kindness not to
create dlsgust-to be modest not TO denounce. The
conduct OF silly set of Wall street exclusives, head
ed by CHARLES KIso, will ruin the wing party, If
great care is not taken. Since the last election, their
prosecuting spirit-thsr empty pride-their paltry
exclusiveness especially at the Bell Dinner" have
Disguised many Of their warmes friends.
Let the wings be careful-very careful. Let them
cultivate harmony and increase friends Van Buren,
is net yet defeated That question will be fully tested
next fall-and not sooner.
