in the system itself, and in spite OF every
effort to correctit, will grow from bad to
worse, ill some great and radical change
is effected. In the meantime, for the com
munity is destined to pass through scenes
Of difficulty and danger greater than any
heretofore experienced, unless the people
should be timely aroused to apply an cffici
ent remedy to growing disorders. hold
it almost impossible that there should be
any state of things more corrupting to
morals, more dangerous to free institu-
tons, or more paralysing to industry,
than an uncertain, vacilIating currency,
under the control of private cepidity, such
rs ours is; and am amazed that the veal
thy capitalists, whose property exists in
stocks and securities, are not the first to
see it and take the alarm, They ought
to see that the gains from the irregular
workings ofsuch a system must be but
momentary and fall acious, and must be
followed by storm if permitted to pro-
gress, which will scatter such acquisitions
as leaves before tornado. In taking my
stand against the system, no particular
or local considerations governed me. l
stood up for what honestly and sincere
ly believed to be the morality, the free
dom and prosperity of the country, actua-
ted by enmity to no class or section, but
believing was acting the part Of true
friend to all who were profiting by for
the moment, as well as those who for the
time were its victims. Whether in this
was mistaken, am content to leave to
time and experience to decide. Thus far
have seen nothing to shake my opinion,
but much to confirm it, much to animate
me to perseverance in the course have
taken, till an efHectual remedy is applied
to this among the most dangerous evils
that can befal the country.
For the very kind manner in which you
have communicated the wishes of those
YOU represent, you will please accept my
sincere Acknowledgements. cannot but be
highly gratiied to learn that many Of my
old friends in yonr great metropolis have
not forgotten me, and do assure you that
few things, would afford me more pleasure
than would an opportunity to renew my
acquaintance with them as well as to gain
in the trying scenes through which | have
more recently passed.
Though circumstances will not permit
me to accept the honor proffered, and to
? be present at your celebration, 1t will not,
trust, be considered an intrusion to offer
the following sentiment:
Equality its broadcast sense, of rights
and privileges between citizens, pursuit
and pursuit, and one portion of the coun-
try and another, the deep and solid foun-
dation of our political fabric; preserve
that and all is safe--destroy it, and the
whole would rush headlong to the dust.
