monstrated that the lOaning Of the public

US with lmpunity, and that we are able TO
protect ourselves. Our ships trade to all
nations without fear Of moIestation, and
return with the products of other countries
for our qualification. Our maratime pow
er Is considerable, we have internal quiet
without the necessity of standing army,
and our citizens and seamen are now Sc
cure from insult and oppression.
More than half a century has elapsed,
and our country has progressed in ratio
OF prosperity, uneiuaIled in the history Of
nations. From thirteen original States at
the term of the revolution, and popula-
ton of beteen three and four millions of
inhabitants, our country has, in this short
period, increased to twenty-six States and
five Territories, with population of about
sixteen millions Of inhabitants. The en-
terprise and industry of our citizens have
surpassed those of any other nation, and
the result has been increase of wealth
and government free from debt. There
are but few Republics, but the time will
arrive when the enlightened ofaIl nations
who now live under despotic governments,
will throw off the shackles of tyranny and
declare themselves in favor of free and
liberal principles, and stand redeemed by
The irresistible genius of liberty. Other
nations have endeavored to initiate our
example; South America and Texas have
succeededn obtaining their independence,
but France, through misguided enthusi-
assn, after many years of bloody wars, is
yet a monarchy.
Although, hitherto prosperous, it is we'll
known that our country has been laboring
under difficulties in monied concerns, and
a arrangement in the circulating medium,
SO as greatly TO injure the confidence be-
tween individuals. II was circumstance
unexpected and unforeseen, and over which
our government had no control Other
nations were affected by the pressure but
by the management and perseverance, of
our citizens, we are gradually emerging
from these difficulties, and general conf
dence and credit are again restored. Ma
tons that once looked upon us with con-
tempt, now court cur friendship. Even
Great Britain, from whom most of us de-
rive our origin, sees in us powerfulrival,
that will, at some future period, surpass
that powerful nation in prosperity, popu-
larity and fame.
Our course is onward-our motto L |
Pluribus Unum; and we demonstrate to
every country, that representative re-
public is the best form of government, and
that the people are able to govern them
selves. We have a sea-coast of more than
two thousand miles, extending from Maine
to Florida, and country extending from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. Eve
ry American must anticipate the future
greatness of his country, and his breast
glow with pleasure at its prospects. Mil
lions yet unborn will refer to the 4th off
July, l776, as the era which gave birth to
their liberty, and be proud of the name of
an American citizen.

FOR AN INDEPENDENT TREASURY
AGAINST A NATIONAL BANK.

|. 1t is measure strictly constitutional
and democratic.
2. 1t contemplates, as one of its essen.
tial advantages, a reduction of the reve
nue. TO the actual wants OF Government.
8. Its tendency will be to prevent an
accumulation of a surplus in the Treasury
for if the moneys are not permitted to be
used, it will be the interest of all to pre-.
vent an accumulation. This is a cardin.
al principle in the measure.
a. 1t will separate the monied from the
political power of the country.
5. 1t will disconnect the moneys of the
National Treasury from the business OF
Individuals, and preserve them from the
public ase.
6. 1t will prevent the public moneys
being used in such manner as to stimu-
late to cover action in trade ;"-thereby
tending to prevent panics and revulsions.
which affect all classes of citizens.
Z. 1t will place the revenue of the
country under the control of the agents
"Hu CP' Cco"eussOoO " Mo PeOPte.
8. will diminish Executive power and
patronage, by dissolving all connection be-
tween the President and the banks-ren-
dering it impossible for him to be control
led by them, or exercise control over them
by offering, as a bride, the use of the pub
lie money.
9. Il will benefit the banks by destroy
ing every motive of pdrtisan hostility a.
gainst them, and by abstracting them en-
tirely from the strife of politics, in which
it is impossible they should mingle with.

peril.

Post Notes. The advocates Of post
notes asserted that post notes would
not depreciate, but would become an
investment for capitalists. They arc
now at discount Of Is per cent. and
constantly getting worse. The Coy

Union Bank went on to issue them
without authority and against law. Be-

We spent some five or six DAYS in Pike
county lately, and were much pleased with
the prevailing sentiments on the subject
of banks generally, and the Union Bank
particularly-Pike is democratic to the
core. The whole democratic ticket will
be sustained. Gov. A. G. McNutt is the
man in that quarter; his decided opposi.
ton TO the Post-Note system and all sys.
TENS that favor monopoly. swindling and
robbing, according to law, has cndeared
hipa to this industrious planting people.
- Gen. A. G. Brown, too. is decidedly po-
pular in Democratic Pike; the fearless,
firm and manly opposition of this gentle
man to the enemies of equal rights. and
his able vindication of the Jefferson poiti-
cal creed, on all occasions, has gained for
him the esteem and confidence of that ge,
nerous people. muaa<S

Triumphant success has crowned the eff
fort. Now sixteen millions join in rejoic-
ing on this day.
This day, illustrious in the annals Of lib
erty, and sacred in the hearts of free
people, was celebrated at Silver Creek,
Pike county, near the residence of Capt.
J.. ID. Rimes, in manner and with spi-
rit suitable to the occasion and highly Gre
ditable to all concerned. We speak from
observation, for we were present.
We were particularly struck with the
military ardor evinced on the OCCASION
A very respectable company under the
command Of Capt. Rimes, performed ma
ny military evulutions with spirit and ex-
actness, which they concluded by firing a
salute to each Of the thirteen states of re-
volution netoriety.
AT ii o'clock we went TO the place pre-
pared for the "feast of reason and the flow
Of SOUL" where innocence, beauty and pa
triotism united in illustrating the bless
ings of virtuous liberty and rational free
dom. The Declaration Of Independence
was read and an address delivered, after
which the company sat down to well re-
plenished table ,arched over by the majestic
pine and other forest trees. To the hon
or of the citizens of Pike, be it told, that
on that day we did not see one Of the
large assembly there convened, intoxica-
ted, nor an angry word spoken--all passed
off in the spirit and with the feeling that
characterised those worthless, who, sixty
three years ago, declared that Indepen-
dence which was the theme of commem-
grafton.

ITO the indefatigablc efforts of Col. j
L. Cunningham, Major Coney and Capt
Rimes, the present organized and promis-
ing state Of the militia of Pike is to be at
tributcd. The zeal and public spirit Of
these gentlemen reflect much honor on
them, and the manner in which the citi-
zen soldiers rally round "the bright stars
and red stripes" proves that they see and
admire such efforts, and are determined to
have well organized militia. There is
not, 1--WE are told, an untitled Office in the
militia Of that county.
