u S. MAGAMSE AND DEMOCRATIC REVIEW FOR ia
MARY, lS38.-The second number Of this work has
appeared. Wehaye not examined it very critically;
but il seems TO be managed with more literary ability

to hide under the mysteries of language. It's literary
articles seem all very wholesome Of them very pref
ty and creditabe. But its politics do profess
to comprehend; they belong 10 "new light" school
which We have no, yet much studied. 1t might as
well have spared Mr.. Rves such painful carica-
ture for his personal credit and his public reputa
ton the burden of such notice. Had the editors

DEAR SR-The meeting Of Democratic Republic
cans held last evening at the City Hall was over
whelming M. M. QUAcKENBoss, Esq. presided,
assisted by large number of tried Democratic Re
publicans as Vice Presidents and Secretaries; and
although the Loco-focos marshalled, and melted by
the sub officers Of the Treasury violently assaulted
those assembled, yet the resolutions were read, the
address ordered, and the General Committee ofhree
from each ward selected before the meeting adj
journed
In the rush made by the Loco-foco ruffians, seve-
raj Of our most respectable Democrats were more or
less injured and although they defended themselves
CALAMITY yet the disturbance created prevented the
remarks which would have been made by several
able speakers if it had not been for the uproar.
So you see what the war upon our commerce
manufactures and currency has already brought us
o--as no meeting can be held peaceaby which clashes
with Executive views.
The excitement here is tremendous, and the hope
of Cancellation scattered to the winds. Hereafter
political oleratio will strengthenhe true democracy
and annihilate those who attempt TO strange free
discussion. .

successful yindicaion Of It's violated altri-
butes, and To the sacred obligation Of trans
hitting entire TO the future generations, that
precious pairimony Of national rights and IN
dependence which is held in trust by the pre-
sent, from the goodness Of Dtcias Prooi-
dcace"
We trust these proceedings will have a
wide circulation--i they are calculated TO have
an extensive bearing upon the destiny OF par
ties. They are not for the benefit Of man or
set Of men--they are for the country, reflect
ing the sentiments Of the great Democratic
Republican party, which are believed to be
most compatible with the best interests OF the
country. Our position is, TO make terms for
the country first, and afterwards confer about
party. We shall maintain our position with
out regard to Wing or Loco-foco, adhering to
the original standard Of Democratic Republi-
can faith. 1t may be weakness for us-we
may do nothing for ourselves, and, therefore,
cannot be obnoxious TO the charge of selfish
ness, but we can do every thing for the coun-
ouNh 40 aiS StoiiuipS WEN uoI We "iS
happy TO know are firm in their faith, and the
virtue Of their cause is strengthening their
force and enlarging their influence. The ba-
lance of power, as between the two contend
ing parties Of wings and friends Of the Sub
Treasury, lies with us. The Democratic
Republicans are competent to turn the scale
whichever way the great interests of the peo-
pie may Indicate. This position, therefore,
we regard as the most enyiable to which O.
party can aspire. We are distinct from the
wings, and the severance from the Loco-focos
is complete. One Of the great objects we
have in view is to prevent the degeneracy of
our Republican system, by securing the as
cendancy and preservation Ct original princi-
pies, and bringing back the government to a
point OF cooperation with us in that respect
When the administration come back to
first principles, within the ancient landmarks
Of the Democratic Republican party, we hold
ourselves ready to cooperate with them, most
cordially and fully, in every thing.
A large edition of this Address and Reso-
lutions will be issued in pamphlet form from
this office.

These are the facts of the case though presenting,
as in a mirror the general operations Of all tho
banks Of the country, which cannot be gansayed.
They clearly prove, ! think that the crisis which
eventuacd in the suspension Of specie payments by the
banks is chargeable to the acts Of others and oher
causes than the base per6dy and eschery to the

i twill be seen that in 1882 '33, and to September,
1885, the items which have selected both under the
fiscal agency of the Bank Of the United States and
the Depose Banks, never varied to much extent.
Those who will tax their recolections and make
ference the annual messages of General Jackson,
will nd with the exception during the period of the
memorable panic session, the commerce of the coun-
try was prosperous; the domestic exchanges regular
and the currency sound and equal throughout
II will furthermore be SEEN that between the LIST Of
September and December of that year, the balance
Of these items changed By a.. Indebtedness, of
more than four and half millions Of dollars! 1t
be clear to all who read this that il was within
this period that the wild and reckless expansions adj
vanced with such rapid strides Twas then that the
power of the public money should have been employ
ed TO restrain the banks and through them desperate
individual enterprises Some part Of the tarenty mil
hons of balances should hare been called fer and pay
meat dsmanded in specie.
have seen it publicly stated, under authority,
somewhere that the Banks in New York did, about
this period make application Qhrough their agent
here to the Secretary of the Treasury, to authorize
them to demand payment in specie Of certain por-
ton of the balances due them, for the purpose OF
checking the wild operations then in rapid advance
ment; and that the application which he made was
unsuccessful Had the permission asked for been
granted by the Secretary there be no doubt, the
evils which followed would have been avoided
The policy of the Secretaryof the Treasury about
this period appears to have been Of character, TO
encourage and stimulate the 'unjudicious and ult
maely ruinous expansions, which were then going
on rather than to restrain and curb them. have
heard 1t asserted, on what L deem unquestionable au
thorily that the three Deposite Banks in the city Of
New York, by the request of the Secretary of the
Treasury placed large balances in the hands of other
city banks which could extend their discounts upon
them under ttsir charters! On referring to the re-
port ofthe Secretary, in December 1885, find he
says, They (the deposite banks) hare atso in some
casss been able 10 aid and hare literally aiqcd
other banking institutions in their nsigAborhood By
large and long balances and other iadutgcaccs," &c
&c.
