MrTalnadge Of NY. addressed the Senate with
distinguished ability in reply. He spoke at some

made By the organ ofhe Government, 1.-THE Globel-
there may be excuse for it, when 1t comes as 1t
does from the Loco Foco organs in the city Of New
York-but when it comes from the President Of the
United States, hear the charge with aston shment
Sir, repel it with Indignation, repel although
it comes from the President himself. lie should

falsity of the charge, Come from what source it

his State to vote against his own measures.
What m essage TO be sent to Europe and the world
to England where we are largely engaged in trade

Far from it. But will tell you the cause,
1t originated with the Loco Focos--the English
Radicals--who began IA war against all Banks-in
favor ofmsnamed equalily-advocang hard money
exclusive specie payments Experiments &C.
This party was opposed to the U. ). Bank--so
the administration, and thus a Union was brought
about between tho two parties. The Message of
the President in Septeuber-the squirting at a
bankrupt law in that message-whlch law the party
with all its has not yet had the courage TO

In another part of his speech Mr. II. said-we
called conservatives whether in honor or deis-

igos' and called so because numbers are small
Sir must say that consider the name of 'Conser-

name has been rendered to the friends of the Sub
Treasury We have also been called what we are,

of that band, to surrender my arms, must
give mtleS Spartan answer, Come and take them
