poEey upon this sabjeci. Of he present

truth Of Ia prineiples. We deny the pro-

We insist. that the present aininisirs-

We believe ils professions in favor Of .
hard money currency 20 be insincere;
because we do mol believe that any per-
son Of common information and ordinary
understanding. can suppose that The use
OF paper. IS circulating medium. will
be discontinued. even il such disconiinu-
ance were desirable, unless the Govern

State Credits. 10 have been raised by The
friends OF The Administration 10 divert
public attention from lis own mismansge-

quenee ofiis own misconduct. We heard
nolhing OF al this in the early part OF
General Jsckson's administration. nor un-

We believe ,ha, the general tone 81 the
measures Of the Administration, The man.
ner in which il coniers fsvors, its sppa

lopinions, and the readiness with which
Ii, bes,ows its confidence on The boldcst

Injuries upon the political morals, and
general sentiments Of the country. W.
lbelieve that to this cause is fairly to be
attributed the most lsmentable change
which has taken place in the temper, ihs
sobriety, and The wisdom with which ih'
high public councils have been hitherto
