Liberty advocate. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1835-1866, 1840-06-11

The party at length admit that the people
must take IN their own hands, the business of
regulating the currency, after four years
talnPerinS with the currency and exchanges
OF the country; Iauding to the skies each new
tangled experiment in its turn. as possessing
the power OF producing the most salutary eff
1ects IN the quality and quanty of the medium
OF circulation, at the same time holding out to
the people, every inducement to enlarge their
business, and to the banks, to extend their ac-
commodatons. To excite cases, to establish
this position, would be useless waste of time,
believing as we do, that, every candid man in
the country, is convinced Of the truth of the
statement, but at this late period, when bank
ruptcy, and ruin are staring one half of the
people IN the face, these grave seducers, have
The audaclty TO administer to them the cool
comfort, that patient labor, and presevering
economy can alone eradicate the evil, and
work cure. Yes, fellow laborers patient
toll, and the most rigid economy is the resort,
after all the golden dreams of Benton, and the
gilded interpretations ofthe party, to the sy-
rean chantings ofdemocracy. 1t lis also admit
ted IN one rare instance, that the entire train
OF evils, under which the country groans, re-
sulls from the memorable act of rashnesS in
Gen. jackson; the veto Of the re-charter of the
U. ), Bank, after the peoples representatives.
had gwen their sanction to the measure, by al
large majority, the people were made however
to dlstrust, not only, their representatives, but
there own judgment, at the same time sustain
ing their idol in this act of base tyranny. But
the sequel shows, that the people and their rep
resentatives erejudging correctly ofthe wants
ofthe country, and that General Jackson and
his advisers were actuated by mercenary, or
selfish motives. The party claim to merit the
confidence of the people, from this, and similar
acts of rashness and impolcy, even after they
have been abandoned TO patient labor, and per-
severing economy. They claim more for the
officers OF the government, in many instances,
they claim an increase of salary, and in all
cases to exact from the people the emolument
of office, in gold and silver. Whilst patient
labor and perseverng economy are to be paid
in rags, the manufacture ofchartered swindlers {
who are the creation Of the selfsame power, II
and at greatly reduced rates. The individual, III
who cannot here see an attempt made, to es>
tabllsh an arlstocracy of ofice-holders, must be
blind to all intentS and purposes. To the .
flames with such intriguing oscillations, and
soPhestry, such cool and unqualified audacity,
and such disappearing against morality, and
politics, and the common sense and patriotism
OF the country. The bosom Of despotism has
passed over our country, from prosperity and
happiness, and with an Overlooking treasury,
we are reduced to national, and individual
bankruptcy. Our constitution invaded and Il
iesecrated, our laws disreg arded and most o.
feckessy usurped, the national treasure seized, Il
md coniiscated to the use of The despot, and .
MS particular friends, cur morals prostituted,
our character degraded, and our country
with standing army, composed of
me eighth part of the whole physical force of :
he Union.
In view Of the various usurpations, and a. ty
uses which have been brought TO bear, and q
AIRED out to consummation by this most recGS- i
