OuuSet
The wicked shall commit niquity without re-
compense, but not without remorse."
Oriental aphorism
Every body WI, recollect the triumphant exulta-
ton with which the United States Bank interest
carried on heir forced and violent expectation OF
specie Immediately after the stoppage oil the
banks last spring No merit great, no feat SO
worthy of celebration, ds the expectation OF a car
go OF specie TO old mother England. Al the
head of all this business stood the miScaIled
Bank Of the United States; and doubtless that
powerful and laring institution then believed all
| her policy was victorious; that the scoufged peo-
| pie would demand renewal Of her charter that
a tsrrife President would recommend il ,hata
conquered Congress would grant it and that the
eighty millions of specie brought in by Jackson'i
policy should be exported, and its place supplied
by shin-plasetIck and n-pIaster bank notes
Of the smallest denominations. This was the
prospect five months ago what il il now En-
urey reversed by the courage and hrmness of the
people, the PleSideni, and the Congress. They
have not surrendered They have not qualled
under the temporary triumph OF the wicked !!
They have adhered to the Jacksonisn policy,
and the wisdom OF this adherance is now proven
IN the actual results which cheer and animate the
country. Foreign exchanges four per cent, be-
low the specie par domestic exchanges nearly
equal all increase Of five millions OF specie IL
1887; the resumption Of specie payments assur-
ed in the ensuing spring. These are great re-
suits, bat the most gratifying, remains TO be sta
ted; it is, that BIDDLE's hank is compelled to
save its own existence, 10 become an importer Of
specie and has ordered two millions OF dollars TO
be brought back from Europe! This is the most
gratifying result Of the whole and il is this spec
e tacle--the spectacle of BlpDLE's bank bringing
back tho specie it carried off, and thus supporting
II JAcksoN's policy-that gives application to the
!, beautiful oriental aphorsm which stands at the
y head OF dis arcle.--Globe.
