The following communication is from
a patriotic and disinterested source.
FELLOW CITIZENS:
From the National Gazette
During themonetary system ofthe great
and good Washington, in twenty wears
which intervened between the charter of
the first national Bank in 1871 and its ex.
piration IN 1911. there were made only 80
banks.
During nine succeeding years IN conse-
quence ofthe abandonment of the Wash
Iington policy, there were 2I7 State Banks
created.
During ten years from 1920 to 1880,
within which the Washington policy was
again in successful operation only twelve
State Banks were created
But during the seven years in which
Jackson undertook to reform the Wash
ington sytenn, there were 357 banks with
1AH branc hos nr.ea.eI f5-.l
States in which The ruling party were pre-
dominant.
In this same period there was an aug
mentation Of Bank Capital of 179 Millions
OfBank Notes Of ia Millions.
OfBank Deposites of99 Millions
OF Bank Loans or Discount $40 Mil
lions
Under these circumstances is it wise TO
abandon the policy Of the Father Of his
country and the lessons of experience
During the periods in which the Wash
ington policy was pursued, your currency
was excellent None ofthose defects in It
Of (which you now complain existed. No
doubt but Jackson was as competent to fight
a battle as Washington, yet as statesman
and as a fnancier you cannot but admit
that he was inferior.
Jackson promised you better currency
than that of Washington How have his
promises been performed either by himself
or his successor who is pledged to carry
cut the Jackson poGcy2
Ifit was not the duty of the general go
vernment to regulate the currency, where
fore did Jackson undertake to make it bet,
ter?
But ifit be the duty of the ,geneaal govt
ernment to regulate the currency, is it not
in the administration after |
our monetary concerns into con
fusion, TO adopt no adequate measures te
remedy the mischief which they have per
petrated2

THE Truth IN NUTsHELL.-The
Rochester Democrat, in sensible article
on the subject of "a single term for the
Presidency" says:
1t may, with propriety, be said, that
there were but three principles in the
Jackson creed:

some ofthe chiefs, and finally, entered into
an agreement there was no written treatyl
with Chitto Tustenuggee, the acknowl.
edged successor Ar-pi.uc-ki. or Sam
Jones lthe latter, it is understood, has never
held or exercised any military command
but stands in the light of a counsellor
among his tribe) One of the stipulations
OF this agreement was the establishment of
a trading post near the mouth of Synabel
river. The mission of Col. Harvey, to car
ry into effect this stipulation, the surprise
OF his party, the massacre ola portion and
the escape ofthe rest, is familiar to all. Sam
Jones and his tribe, were at the time in
the vicinity of Fort Lauderdale, distant
about 100 miles, and have not only denied
all participation in or knowledge of the
massacre, but up to the latest advices con-
tinue to manifest neutral disposition and
an intention to abide by the agreement
made with Gen. Macomb.
The approaching campaign then will
partake more Of defensive than offensive
character, as it will be confined to driving
the Indians from the settled portions of
Florida, where they have committed depre-
dations almost without check. Il having
been found impossible to force the Indians
from their Businesses, any further attemptto
effect that object would only be attended
with needless sacrifice of life and money.
. These remarks were prepared for the
Chronicle of October "a; but since they
were written, information has been receiy-
ed which renders it inexpedient to with
draw the lst artillery at present from the
Canada frontier. The Sd will therefore
remain in Florida, until the exigences of
the service at other points will allow Of its
being relieved.

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS.
Tbere is a Reaper, whose name is death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.

Have nought but the bearded grain;
Though the breath of the flowers is sweet to me
will give them all back again

He kissed their dropping leayes; ..

He bound them in his sheaves

Dear tokens OF tho earth are they,
When he was once a child
'They shall all bloom N fields of light,
Transpanted by my. care,
And saints upon their garments white
These sacred blossoms wear
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
But she knew she should find them all again,
In fields of light above ...

The Reaper came that day,
Twas an angel visited the green EARTH,
And took the flowers away. .. -. ....
