.Whlla The American people can never for

asnspect that there was very large portion
OF Them, who were directly or indirectly

powerful press at its command, with host
Hof qnondam bank attorneys, aide.I' by
powerful political party, throughout the
country, had well nigh succeeded in Great
ing the impression, that the DISTRESS or the
scountry was due tn the policy of the adj
smlnlstraion, aud that it was impossible
TIN the country to recover without the aid

satlon, would better have become those
days IN which the ingenuity of priestcraft |
vas cxerted tn establish its dominion over
The human mind, then the present enlight-
ened era. 1.-THE country had Yielded to
their influence, and had consented to es-
tablish bank at such crisis, the demo

mind that a bank was an indispensable a.
GENT of public happiness and prosperity
Another words that the administration of
he country would be safe in no other
hands, but the BANKS and the federalists!
4 10 the President of the United States,
more THAI to any one else, is due the hon
hcr OF this glorious triumph. Standing
lrm amidst the raging of the political ele- I
ents, under his guidancs the vessal of
ete has rode out the storm, and is safely
MORNING its own onward career. In
RsIng to strike the standard Of the
stItutlonal currency, to advocate Of an
nsaeemable bank paper, aided and sus.
saoo ny the democracy of the country,
nas saved the country from the ills that
Pended over it and has saved the Cons.
non rom utter prostration. How ad-
Rble does this support given By the
1ocracy to the laws and the Consi;tu.
