dct This brings US back to the practices of Rus.
sia, of Spain, Cuba and the other enlightened
countries from which this administration seek to
draw examples of good government. This is hard
money governmental government that degrades
the character Of its citizens-that renders credit
and honor Of no value-that Expresses the poor and
eevates the rich--that holds men in bondage for
life because misfortune has deprived them OF the
means of paying their debts-that is seeking to
make the same distinction in society that exists in
the country from which they draw examples for an
exclusive hard tconey currency and standing army.
They are trying to humble the man Of enterprise
and industry, and make him "hewer of wood and
drawer of water" TO the office holder and hard money
lender of our cities. They will succeed, If the
people choose it to make SerCs Of unfortunate men
--vassals who will beg for petty Office or enlist in
standing army. To this state of unqualified de-
graduation we are rapidly coming; aud nothing can
save this country from absolute tyranny but an ell
tire abandonment Of the men who now rule this
once prosperous and happy land with rod ofiron.
We call upon all to unite in producing this change
Rotation in office is democratic princpe."-
These men have been in office long that they as
sumo to be the masters instead Of the servants of
the people. GiUe as change and we have every
reason 10 hope for revival Of confidence and busif
ness, which will bring with it prosperity and hap.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT OF THE CABAL TO

Among the most Getes.abe projects devised by
the Federal Loco-toco managers IN this city to pre-
vent the diffusion Of correct intelligence among the
people, is the Bill introduced into the Senate, on
the 29th Of last month purportng to amend the
existing post office laws. This demonstrations
and anti-republican measure was 1--WE understand
suggested if not actually framed, in the Post Office
Department and it certainly bears the impress Of
the spirit Of those unprinciped partizans and yoku
fellows, Kendall and Niles. 1t prohibits, under
severe penalties, the conveyance of any letter or
packet containing any 1rlteR or printed pieces NJ
paper on any post road, or road parallel to post
road, and also unless by the authority and con-
sent Of tie Postmaster General on any steamboat,
packet-boat, or other vessel that regularly plies on
any water declared to be POST road, unless such
letter or packet relates to the cargo!

over any railroad, or in any steamboat, over any
water declared to be pOst.road, to carry any let.

The following very forcble and just remarks,
we copy from the Missouri Republican.

"The times, the situation of the country, its
business, your present and future prospects demand
that you come forward and take part in the glorious
work Ut redeemng the government from the hands
of the spoilers There is but little time in which
the work of reformation can be carried In little
more than two weeks the State election comes on.
Whatever you do to be effective in any State affairs
must be done Immediately: and all should remem-
Der the fact. that the State election oi in great
degree, control the Presidential election. If the
Wings succeed even partially in the State election
they will be encouraged to make renewed efforts for
the November election; but if the ma orities con-
tinue as great as formerly against them; if the
spoilers are reelected; if the Vandals continue to
hold the capitol; it would be in vain to struggle
Every thing depends upon the UNION AND
ZEAL with which the Wings come to the polls on
the first Monday in August. A VOTE IN NovEM-
Der WILL NOT BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN 1T is IN
AUGUST. This is the first great battle, and is but
the prelude to the contest for the Presidency: if in
this defeated by any lack of zeal the part
of frends if they stay away from the polls, or
suffer others to stay away if coming, they split and
divide their vote, suffer local prejudices personal
predictions induce them to divide and distract
their vote giving evidence to the friends of the
Wing cause, in other parts that they are not uni
ted, WE WILL BE DEFEATED. If, On the op-
posite hand, we are united: if every man feels that
upon himself personally, rests the responsibility
oil the wings success; II ne not ohly CUES h'se'''
but sees that his neighbors and acquaintance GO
if being there he lends oil his moral and political
influence to secure the success of the WHOLE TICKET
THE WHIGS CAN AND WILL SUCCEED.
Every man, but especially the young men, should
remember that if the Wings carry the State, they
cannot expect to carry it but by small majority
Now what would he the feelings of any Wing i
the election of Governor, Congressman, or ma
jority in the Legislature was lost by single vote
and HE HAD FAILED To VOTE. Would he not ex
perence the deepest consciousness of remorse!-
Would he not look upou himself as the executor o.
his country's prosperity, as the destroyer of, no
only his own, but the hopes of thousands of hi
fellow citizens! Such things have occurred il
other States-great elections have been contro'e
by the loss OF gain of single vote. No patriot, il
q crisis like the present, should fail to be at hi
post and not only to be there but to exert the in
fuence and power he possesses"

Of Congress. They have established currency of
gold and silver for the government, by which they
will accumulate all the specie of the country into

The expenses of this administration are upwards
of htrty-Seuen millions per dnnum. The whole
specie in the country is estimated by Mr. Van Blu
rem, Kendall, Blair, and Benton, at eighty millions.
You will thus perceive that the government re-
quires nearly half Of all the specie in the Union
for its own affairs; and what is more rapidly con-
sumnatng their foul designs upon the freedom of
the people, they have resolved resort to direc.

mean by those seventeen words to which he sub

ECONOMY OF MARTIN VAN BUREN'S
hnMTNJS1'P ADTnNt


During the night on which the discussion of the
Sub Treasury Bill was brought TO close in the
Committee of the Whole Mr.. PROFIT, of Indiana,
made speech of great ability and effect, which we
hope will be given to the public at length. There
was one passage that presented, in most striking
manner the unparalleled extravaganza of this Fed
eral Administration, and the holowness of all its
professions of economy. We now publish this
part of the speech, and call the attention Of our
readers TO its statements. They may be startling:
but they are true.
Mr.. Profit said, that the honorable gentleman
from Georgia, Mr. Cooper, had spoken of Mr.. Van
Buren's recommendations Of economy. Mr. P, said
that he was willing to allow that the President had
made professions of economy, but the question here
was, has he practiSed on those professions! Mr.. P.
said he would read a statement of expenditures
made bv Mr. Van Buren,, which statement he (Mr.
p had placed in the hands of the Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means, previous to that
gentleman addressing the committee, with special
request that he would refute the statement, if il
was erroneous This, the chairman had neglected
to d. and, therefore, Mr.. P felt it his duty 10 read
