whether any political document published
,ha lis country ever before produced such evident
4 ects upon the party against whom it was de-
signed to operate, as has the famous speech of
Mr.. Bond. 1t has sent dismay throughout the
ranks of the administration party. We under
stand that great efforts are making to circulate
reply to it, which has been issued under the
name of Duncan's Speech. We subjon some
account of this precious document. An edi-
ton has been published at the Democrat Office
for circulation in this county and we hope every
Wing will read it. We also hope the friends
of the administration will carefully compare il
with that of Bond, and il they will do so, they
cannot fail to be satisfied of the correctness of
the statements of the latter See an article on
this subject on the last page.
THE FINE ARTs.-The Evening Post has
stereotypcd the stupid mass Of lalSehood and
vulgarty which has been concocted by DR..
Duncan, of Ohio, with the aid of the kitchen
cabinet, in the shape of speech not delivered
in the House of Representatives by the afore-
said Dr. Duncan. The facts, it may perhaps
be remembered, were these:-Finding that the
mastery exposition of the corruption of the
administration by Mr. Bond, of Ohio, was
making powerful impression upon the people
every where, an attempt was made by DR..
Duncan to compound counteractng medicine;
and on the last Saturday night of the session,
he sought to administer the dose to the House
in the form of speech. But the House would
not hear him, and he sat down, avowing that
he would print the speech which he was pre-
pared to deliver. In due time, therefore, the
speech, OF tremendous leng tn, appeared in the
Globe, with the false certificate that il was the
same which DR.. Duncan attempted to deliver
ON the aforesaid Saturday night. The fact is,
the speech was not prepared to be delivered on
that night, but was subsequently manufacture
ed by Kendall & Co.-As evidence to sustain
this assertion, the reader is referred to the Globe
edition OF the speech, in which it will be seen
that Amos Kendall wrote letter to be used by
MondsSyp ISJ IL making up his speech on the
says he attempted to deliver Ii" same same Speech,
No speeches were delivered on the Monday,
the morning of which witnessed the close of
the session. The speech is therefore a thing
ofsubsequent manufacture and OF course a fraud
upon the public, independently of its fictitious
character in other respects However, it is
very well for the Post to stereotype the nos
trums Of Doctor Duncan, as it does those Of
Doctor Brandreth.-N. Y. Com. .4dr.
The ADMINISTRATIONS AND THE L. STATES
BANK. II will be remembered that some time
since the u. S. Government sold to the u. S.
Bank their stock in that institution, and took
its bonds for the amount, payable some time
hence with interest. The poverty OF the Ma
tional Treasury, has made the sale of these
bonds necessary, and they were accordingly
short time since thrown into market or were
about TO be, when Mr.. Biddle with generous
and liberal spirit, came forward and offered in
behalf of the bank to pay them, although not
due for some time to come. By this accom-
mediation on the part of the Bank, the country
has been saved perhaps an extra session of
Congress, to provide ways and means 90 deffay
the current expenses of the government and
thus is closed all connexion between the gov
eminent and the ''monster," the former re-
ceiving fifteen per cent profit on its stock, in
an institution which it has again and again de-
clared to be nsolvent. Every dollar due from
the bank to the government has been paid =
not one cent has been lost of all the revenue
which for many years has passed through this
institution. There only now remains to be
settled, the dispute about the damages on the
protested bill of exchange, drawn by govern
ment on France, for part OF the indemnity
Now we ask the loco foco gentry--had Gen.
Jackson succeeded in destroying the Bank,
what would have become of the millions of
stock, belonging to the government''
On this subject the U. S. Gazette says,
"We are truly gratfed to hear of these ar
engagements. We hope, and, indeed, we can
not doubt, that they are indicative of a better
understanding between the contracting parties;
and we congratulate the country upon this
event, which we consider as equally creditable
TO the administration and to the bank, and
which cannot fail to have beneficial influence
upon all the business relations of the Union.
A Reminiscence. Albany Evening
Journal, re-publishes the following letter as an
illustration of the manner in which Banks were
once chartered in that state in answer to
challenge of the Argus for proof that Mr..
Van Buren's Safety Fund system was ever
made subservient to political purposes:
