them went to see him. and some of them DE-
oLARED THEY woULDyorE FOR HIM. They said
they had been lied TO, that their orators had
just been telling Them what a poor old broken

estimate Of the number, we will state a few
facts, which We have from gentlemen who
were on the spot and in the meeting This
mighty meeting assembled in the forenoon in
the little Union Church, in which just about
$50 men can be comfortably seated. The

The folly aud absurdity Of this doctrine
s only eqaslled by tho impudeuce and
arrogance ofits authors.
Al the present momentthere is aB ex-
traordinary pressure and scarcity ofmo-
ney. throughout this country, and il is a
matter OF some importance to ascertain
its cause. 10 those who have resOl-
we'd to ascribe it entirely to what the,
are pleased 10 call a war, waged by the
democratic party upon the currency and
the credit system, it is useless to address
any Argument; but to honest inquirers,
whose only object is truth, a brief in
vestigation Of this subject may be use =
ful.
In the outset we may remark, that no
war has ever been waged by our party
against either the currency or the sys-
TEN of credit. We have waged war a.
-gainst an nnsound. inedeemable paper
currency, and against the abuses Of the
credit system; and we ilren 10 contin-
ue that war, until we drive them both
from the borders of this free republic.
But that war We boldly assert has had
no agency in reducing the country TO its
present embarrassed condition. On the
contrary, it has saved It from tempo :
rary bankruptcy, and opened the eyes Of
the people to their true interests. If
we profit by the advantages already
gained, aud the information elected, it
will enable US 70 recover from our pre-
sent depression, and to avoid the recur-
renee Of similar evils in future.
