"Ncver was there grasser Justice perpetra-
ted or less wisdom displayed, than in seizin,,
hold Of the present calanitous condition Of things
to dcnounce the banks prcfidious and treach-
erous, to say nothing Of the other grosser calum-
MES which have been uttered against them. The
banks guilty Of perfdy and tre.chery In what
In not redecmng their obligations in specie?-
Why, who could redeem their obligations in spc-
Gle? Can the Government? No! With $780,
100000 in the Treasury. IT cannot pay million
of dollars, otherwise than in promises to pay, or
Treasury notes. There is scarcely an indiv idual
from Maine to Georgia, who can pay 500 in
constitutional currency. And yet nobody is
'prefdious and treacherous' but the banks. If
the banks would pay specie, it is said, the Gov
erument, the States, and the people, would all
be able to pay specie. But look ut il moment.
Mr.. Van Buren, says, in his message to the call
ed session of Congress, that the people Gre in
debed to the banks about S460,OOO.OOO 1t is
estimated that there is, was about eighty mil
lions of specie in the country, and about one
hundred and twenty millions Of bank notes in
circulation. If the banks required to pay
SPECIE, surely nobody will complain if they re-
quire others to pay specie 10 them. And, after
all, tie specie and all the bank notes are paid up
TO the banks. How? By the sacrifice Of mil
lions Of property for a song; by enriching the
capt,iist and the upon the spoi.s of the in
les and merchants, who are trading upon borrow
ed capital, and have been thriving by jldicious-
~ aai!ing themselves of system Of credit,
whici has built up our cities: stimulated labor OF
ever, kind to successful cxertion; filed our west
vids with hardy, industrious, and enlighi-
enedpopulation; and made the desert blossom
like he rose.' And all for what? Why, that the
Gov Gnmeni NAV lie made secure against the
Disorders Of the currency which af1lic,s The State
and TIC People, and that office holders and con-
tractors Of the Government may be paid in gold
and silver, although every body else mast be
comnted with deprecated paper"

An ,ttempt was then made to surround them, bu,
without effect. They escaped. The Seminoies

o. trIce towards the Indians. If we were not
cursed with an administration of mercenary cheat
ing politicians, regardless Of honor and justice,
Jesup's turpisudo would have been properly rep

Jesup's recent conduct in surrounding the In
liars, while Virtual amnesty was in existence,
md he had encouraged them to believe that the
President would consent to a cessation of the war,
s a fitting sequel to his violation of the flag OF
ruce.-How disgraceful is the whole history of
his Seminole war to our government! After
touring out the blood and treasure of the country

GrIt is confidently asserted, says the Har-
.isbsrg Chronicle, and by many believed, that
he Van Buren, party are seriously celebrating
apoi the propriety Of taking up Gen. Harrison |
or he Presidency, in case he should. be rejected
oy the wing party. Besides these assertions, we |
lafe ourselves recently seen some strong demon
,:ntions, which, to say the least Of them, look /
,e,y suspicious. That Martin Van Buren, is out
# tho question, they manifest no hesitancy in
:onfessing.
