PRESIDENT VAN buren, AND PRESIDENT
BIDDLE .

In the message Of President Van Buren, occurs, on
the subject of banks and the currency what appears
to have been second thought" On referring to
that document it will be that after taking leave
seemingly of that subject, by saying /" the whole sub
ject now rests with you" he advers to it again. 1t
is not a little amusing to read some Of the
positions assumed, in this apparent after-thought,
wherein he maintains that, the Government
should be cat liberty to seek the aid of banks"
whenever pleases; and to see the remarkable man.
ner in which those Of President Van Buren, and
President Biddle chime in with each other. We
make few quotations from each.

II is somewhat remarkable, that Mr.. Van Buren,
should in his anerhought, have taken positions
which were so agreeable TO Mr.. Biddle to accept,
between the political and money powers. We can

PRESIDENT BiDDLE.
"Of the future, 1t is
difficult to speak; but in
that future, the Bank Of
the United States will no
longer occupy its present
position. The Bank Of
the United States had
ceased to be a national
institution in 1886, and
was preparing to occupy
its new place as a State
bank, when the troubles
of 1887 forced 1t, in some
degree, into its old posi-
tion and il then devoted
all its power to carrying
the country unhurt tEro'
its recent troubles. Hav-
ing done this, its ertrdor-
binary duties ceased
For the future it abdi-
Gates this involuntary
power. II has no longer
any responsibility TO the
Union. IL has no longer
ann controversies 'cih
the GoUernmcat Of the
Union. II now desires
only repose, and IL 'ciH
take its rank hereafter as
a simple State Institution,
DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO
ITS OWN SPECIAL CON-
GERMS

No can fail to perceive the reciprocal compli-
ments that these Gigniaries exchange as to the
honorable" course Of each. In one point, however,
there appears to be some little discrepancy. The
statement made by President Biddle, that the nego-
tiation Of the bonds in credit on the books of
the bank, and to be disbursed principally "in the
notes of the bank" by which the Government was
brought into cooperation" with the bank, for the
re-estabshment of the currency" seems to contrast
somewhat, singularly with the position assumed by
President Van Buren,, that it was "by the resistance
of the Government" to any thing OF the kind that
"the speedy restoration of the currency" was attri
butable.

cases by few persons who are either aspiring them

GOD SEEN IN ALL THINGS.

1t is poor philosophy, and narrow religion,
which does not recognize God in all things.
Every moment of oui lives, we breathe, stand,
or move in the temple of the Most High; for
the whole universe is that temple. Wherever
we go, the testimony of his power, thesimpress of
his hand are there. Ask of the bright worlds
around us, as they roll in the everlasting harmo-
ny of their circles: and they shall tell you OF
him, whose power launched them on their
courses Ask of the mountains that lift their
heads among and above the clouds; and the
black summit of one shall seem to call aloud TO
the snow clad summit ofanother in pro :
claiming their testimony to the agency which
had laid their deep foundations. Ask Of The o.
cean's waters; and the roar OF the boundless
waves shall chaunt from shore to shore hymn
OF ascription to that Being, who said, "iitherto
shall we come and no farther Ask of the
rivers; and as they roll onward to the sea, do
they bear along thear ceaseless tribute TO the
ever working energy which struck upon tier
fountains and poured them down through their
valleys? Ask of every region Of the earth, from
the burning equator to the icy pole. from the
rock bound COAST to the plain covered with its
luxurant Vegetation: and will you not find on
them all the records of the Creators presence?
Ask Of the countless tribes of plants and animals
and shall they not testify to the action of the
great source of life? Yes, from every position,
from every department Of nature come the same
voice. every where we hear thy name, o God
every where we see thy love. Creation, in all
its length and bredth, in alisits depth and height,
is the manifestation ofthy spirit, and without
verse is to as the burning bush which the
Hebrew leader saw: God is ever present in it,
for it burns with its glory and the ground on
which we stand is always holy. How then
we spenk of that presence as peculiarly in the
sanctuary which is abroad through all space and

Many, we may easily suppose, have manifested
this willingness TO die from an impotence of

have arrived at fearless contemplation of the
