GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE Mr.. Dun
can in his very able speech in the Rep
resentatvc Chamber Of Congress, has
done justice to this sub bject.---Wc deyoutly
thank him for the faithfulness and inde-
pendence with which he has performed
this great duty. In his statistical dcvel-
opements he has exhibited the vast
amount ofpatronuge enjoyed by the polit-
icnl enemies of the Government; has
boldly proclaimed the evils involved; and
protested against the policy which since
the election of General Jackson, has allow
cd host of Federal enemies to Iuxuriate
upon the bounties of Government. We
most ardently hope that Mr.. Duncan has
made an impression in the right quarter;
and that new impulse will be awakened.

as among the Democratic masses, in fur

"Thc following article we copy from

The Mobile Mercantile Advertiser
has the following touching Mr.. RIyEs:
"We published the following little
paragraph, from the Richmond Wing,
some days since. 1t is so true, and his
day so appropriate, that we cannot but
republish it, and most respectfully COM
mend it to the serious consideration of
certain ofour young friends:
"The man who threatens his party
that he will abandon it if hispeculiar
views be not carried out, makes the de-
grading admission that he is pre-disposcd
to commit treason; and he who thus ex-
hibits the premonitory symptoms of de-
fection, proves that he will avail him
self OF some other occasion to desert.
All his affected purity is but disguise
to the miserable sclfshness that oper-
atcs upon him."
The Richmond Wing, forgetting the
Of which its principles are
susceptible, gives the following;
''Such men as Rivcs, who, by habit.
by education and association, ought to
be Wings, would win to the Wing

Wing EcoNoMV.--The leaders of the federal
Wing party, in and out of Congress, have for
many years kept up the cry of ''extravuganco"
and were echoed by the bank presses. The OBJ
ject was to make tho people believe that their
Treasure has been extravagantly wasted by the
administration. They preach economy, but do
they practice it. Tho bill presented to tho
Committee on Accounts, certified by the chair
mann of the Wing committee that went to Now
York to whitewash the villaineus conduct of the
Whg defaulder, Swartwout, is a beautiful Illus
traton of Wing economy, as we'll as consisten-
cy. Here is the bill, examine il well, II shows
tho modest sum of the nero triho of $l9 80 per
day. Are the services of these inquisitors worth
that amount' Let the freemen who work hard
for their money answer. Tho first bill presented
was withdrawn; il was S460 more.
We recommend this bill to all, but partieu-
larly to those who arc continually crying out
against the excessive extravaganza OF the ad.
minlstration.
For the information of those who are
continually crying out againt "the extrav-
agance of the administration" we have
given below the bill presented to the

of the late Investigating Committee. The

The Wings must have connexion
between bank and state ;and the feder-
al government must take these Wing
bank promises to pay for debts.
We will soon see the end Of this sys-
TEN, and the mathematical precision
with which it works. We have not
the least doubt but the rottenness ofthe
vile system will soon convince the hon
est Wings, that nothing short Of the
specie clause and the Sub-treasury bill
will keep down the spirit Of specula-
ton and bank plumber. Our Board OF
Trade commenced last winter to issue
shin-plasters to accommodate The people,
for which, like the federal government.
they would take nothing but specie
paying paper. We warned them OF
tho evils, and advocated the propricty
of at once going to the bank and get
ting the specie. But the Board OF
Trade sneered at Our advice, abused
US, and many of them discontinued the
Sentinel. Now this same Board OF
Trade mas got seven hundred dollars
of our beautiful Rail Road Bank shin
plasters! and let any one take them for
specie to the bank, and convince him
sGlf that the Sentinel has told some
truth on the subject. When the fed
cral government, too, shall again be
caught with million or two OF broken
Whig bank promises to pay, it will be
compelled to adopt Mr.. Calhoun's spe-
Gle clause Vicksbirg Sentinel.

The CuRRENcY.--Whcn the banks suspended
disappeared as if by enchantmcnt. Nothing was
left but promises to pay, and those promises
have not, and are not likely loon to be redeem
cd. Does not oxpedicncy as we'll as justice de-
mand that the shinplaster currency should give
way (if, indeed, ii may be called n currcncy,)
to the legal one of gold and silver. Paper is
of no value as medium, bat when we can on
presentation receive money for it. By permit
ting unprinciplcd spectators to issue those ire
deomables, money has been banshed. Thus we
hav permitted our rights TO be invaded, and our
laws violated. Necessity, the tyrants' plea-the
ever ready apology for all manner of abuses, is
no longer valid for official records show that we
have about one hundred millions of gold and sill
yer in the country, and that is five times the a
mount wo were in possession of in 1776, at
previous resumption. There has been moro gold
coined at the mints in the four last years than
in the last half century, to say nothing of the
rich and lately discovered mines that yield
largely, Hence, the conclusion is forced on US,
that we have enough Of the precious metals
for common use. All then that is wanting to
bring them into circulation is to discounto tonancc
the vile shinplasters Every lover of his coun

swindling shRplaster tradc that is now SO ex :
tensvely carried on Experience shows that by
permitting this unfit substitute, we have ban
shed the metals from their legitimate channels,
and substituted worthless and unconsttution-
al for good and legal currency.

the sum Of Eve dollars, are not called for by ne

"Several Of the Philadelphia banks have

annual statement to the Auditor General.
The officers of one bank win go to aHo-
ther and borrow dray load or two of
specie and have it rolled into their vaults
This enables the cashier of making oath
that they have SO much specie in their
vaults. Then the same is moved off to
another bank; and thus goes its rounds.
By this deception they are able to keep
their wild cat money in circulation.

Immediately drew it out on his own nc.
count, and afterwards sent his hired man
with it to be credited a second time as
paid capital. This manoeuvre he again
rcpeated-thus enabling the cashier tc
swear that fifteen thousand dollars in

complshed, the $4,000 was restored te
