MR.. JEFFERSON'S Circular.

Extract from Mr. .Jefersons Circular, addressed 10
OGce-holders under himself.
The President of the United States has seen
with dissatisfaction, officers of the General Govern
ment, taking on various occasions, active parts in
the elections of public functionaries whether of the
General or State Government. Freedom of election
being essential to the mutual independence Of Go
vernment, and of the different branches Of the
same Government, so vitality cherished by most of
constitutions, it is deemed improper for officers
depending on the Executive of the Union to attempt
10 control influence the free exercise OF the cleo
tive right. II is expected that officer will attempt
to influence the votes of other men, nor take any
part in the business Of eleconeering- being
deemed inconsistent with the spirit Of the constitu-
ton and his duties"
GEN. JACKSON'S Inaugural address.
1.-THE recent demonstrations of public sentiment
inscribes the list of executive duties in characters
too legible to be overlooked, the task Of reform

:" When man is once appointed 10 Office. all the
Seihsh passions oil his nature are enlisted for the
purpose OF retaining it. The Office holders are the
ENLlSTED SOLDIERS of that administration by
which they are sustained. Their comfortable exist
cnce often depends upon the reelection of their
patron. Nor does disappointment long rankle in the
hearts oil the disappointed Hope is still left TO them;
and bearing disappointment with patience thew
know, will present new claim 10 Office at future

RoYsroN COVER, or the days of King John. An
historical romance BY Thomas Miller vols.
Philadelphia: Carey, Lea & Blanchard.
For sale by F. Taylor
Robin Hood and his merry men of Sherwood
Forest-the ancient and severe forest laws-the
customs and manners OF the British people in the
days Of King John, with various pleasing Incl
dents connected herewith, all told in rather an
interesting style, form the very excellent materia
Of this work, which we should think therefore, like
lyto become popular.
The object of this work seems to be, to weave
into romance, the ancient Norman forest aaes. The
author thinks that the severity of these laws formed
the stepping stone to Magma Charta. He has won
much praise :" rural sketcher," and is therefore
cat home in Sherwood Forest, where We invite the
lovers of romance TO call and see him.

THE CONSERVATIVES OPPOSED by
BOTH PARTIES.


1t will undoubtedly be considered the height
Of presumption for the Conservatives to un-
dertaketo contend against both the Loco-focos
and the Wings. We must, nevertheless, indi-
cate to the belligerent armies, that the Con-
servatives are still in the field, and ready to
vindicate their rights against the world. They
may be overcome, but they will never be
quered They are neither to be cajoled by
one party, nor inundated by the other. We
shall stand our ground, and fight single-hand-
ed against both the Globe and the Intelligen
cer-against both a Sub-Treasury Executive
Bank, and an incorporated Congressional
Bank. We will have neither-the people are
averse to both, and we are with the people. 1t
is immaterial by what names we are called, or
by what means opposed; we shall not aban-
don our ground, or yield one inch of it. The
Intelligencer may call US "no party men,"
and the Globe may call us Conservatives the
names and characters ofour opponents are not
less distinctly marked by US. We know them
we know ourselves. One may quote Dean
Swift's caustic definition of "no party men,"
and the other may apply it to the Conserva-
tives; but the object Of either will not be ac-
compshed. They will find that the Conser-
vatves are Of party, and a party, not to be
condemned, nor trampled.

trade and commerce. As they affirm Il will
not operate thus runously, this is one Of their
errors. The other mistake consists in the
supposition that the collection Of the federal
revenues In gold and silver coin exclusively,
will have the desired effect Of breaking up this
concentration Of capital in the North. Now,
we think that the policy would have the very
opposite effect. Specie would seek those
markets where there is the greatest demand
for ii; and there would obviously be the
greatest demand for il where it should be most
used. The great point of Capitalization, then,
would be New York. The value of the i'm
ports Of the States, north Of the Potomac, for
the year ending 3Oth September, 1887, was,
sl2i la, 465; while that Of the southern
States, for the same period, was Sl9,s4l, 1852,
not quite one-sirth part OF the value Of the
imports from which the public revenue is prin-
cipally derived. The aggregate amount Of
revenue paid to the Government in the year
1897 by the same northern States, was 5 49,
7s2,567; while that paid by the southern
States, Tor the same period, was, ~, 46s, 1856.
These facts, united with the additional
one that the federal expenditure in the
South by far exceeds the taxes paid
by that portion of the Union, very effec-
tually annihilate tho pretension that the
South are tnxed to support northern nsttu-
tons. The adverse proposition, that the
Worth IS tarsd 10 support southern institu-
irons, Is proven true by these indications at
the National Treasury. But il is sufficiently
clear, that some of these southern parties la
Dor under delusion, as their arguments for
or against particular plan, are all founded
upon the same representation of " southern
vassalage to northern capital and commercial
power" One advocates National Bank as
the only means Of breaking up this "vassal-
age" and another urges a Sub-treasury, as
the only remedy; and for the same reasons |!
We oppose both, believing that the grounds
upon which they are urged are equally falla-
cious, and that both systems are unnecessary
and dangerous. The "deliverance' which
the South desire is only to be brought about
by their own exertions. II depends upon the
practcability of direct trade with Europe
not upon any internal Legislation affecting the
currency.
We entreat them, therefore, to set about
their only hope Of " deliverance," direct
trade" and no longer use the theory merely
for political agitation and personal aggran-
dizement. Let the North alone, and let the
South exercise in this matter of commercial
vassalage," practical care for their own
political elevation depend upon his merits in
more comprehensive scale Of action.

The rerenue 10 be collected in specie erclu-
siueiy and kept by public officers.
The Calhoun division Of the administration
party in the published proceedings of their
" Democratic Independent Treasury Meet
ing" Of the Oath ult., which nominated Isaac
Z. Holmes for Congress in opposition to Mr..
Legare, make the following proclamation:
"The question which now occupies the leading
and commanding position concerns the collection
and custody of the revenue of the United States 1t
is proposed that the financial concerns of the Fede
raj Government shall be entirely separated from
banks and the business Of bankng-that Treasury
shall DC established independent Of all banks and that
The rcrcnue instead being eoseted bank paper and
Kept in banks, rather in the fern of bank credits
has hitherto been, shall be collected in gold and
Strct coin the only currency recognised by the Com
aitution and Kept By public o6fccrs and IN places Of
security appointed for that purpose"
The proposition ofthe Southern Sub Trea-
suryites is thus distinctly stated. The rere-
nue. shall be collected in gold and silper coin,
and kept by public officers. This is the Sub
Treasury with the ''specie clause" The
object of its friends can now be clearly under
stood, and the question is stripped Of all mys-
terry or disguise. What will Messrs. Bucha-
nan, Cuthbert, Hamer, Bronson, Boon, and
others, say to this How will they like such
revolutionary and disorganizing proposition,
"subversive of the entire practice of this 60
vernment from 1889 down to this dayl" Will
the Richmond Enquirer still "sink or swim"

but listen to what he says Of the "specie lea-

of the Government dues, TO the exclusion OF the bills
OF specie paying banks, as measure lraugh with
such dcleterious consequences that do not believe
would be endured. Specie is not our currency; il
is merely standard to which we refer, by means of
