the only rpears by which there could be a
good and sai' currency for the people and
the government was the establishment Of
bank Of the Ulited States, well regulated
and restricted Clark was very happy in
showing that Van Buren, and the modern
democrats by their opposition TO a national
bank and supporting the subtreasury pro-
ject, .instead Of walking in the footsteps of
Jackson, we're travelling at right angles
from his tracks, and that instead Of a banks
subverting the Liberties of the people, it
would be a strong guard around their Iber-
ties, by keeping the public money out Of
the reach of the President and his officers,
but that if the sub-treasury was adopted,
tie public money would then be under the
control and within the grasp Of the Pres-
dent and his officers: he proved by the Off
cial acts and votes Of the republicans and
federalsts that a national bank was repub-
lican measure, that Washington and Mad-
son, the fathers of their country and the
constitution was in favor of national
bank, that they We're republicans and un-
derstood the constitution, that the federal
lists had opposed the creation Of the late
bank Of the United States, that the party
opposed to the last war with England
amongst which was Van Buren,, and which
was the federal party, was opposed to the
bank. Clark then declared to the people
the course he would pursue in appointing
men 10 office if he should be elected COVER
nor; he nobly declared that he would know
no man nor no mans politics, but that he
would apply the good old Jeffersonian test,
sis he honest, is he capable, is he faithful to
the constitution" and if he found him such,
it would be repubIicanism and democracy
enough for him, as it had been enough for
Jefferson, and he would appoint such man
without any further enquiry whatsoever,
about his politics; that he had no friends to
reward, nor enemies to punish. have
already extended this article greatly beyond
what intended when sat down to write
will only add in conclusion that Rey nolds
has good cause to rue the day he met Clark.
the triumph Clark obtained over him in the
debate was as complete as his friends could
have wished for, or desired, vindictive in
deed must have been the feelings of the
Wing who desired greater victory, it was
enough in all conscience for one day, the
calbre Of Reynolds and Of his princi pies
are too light to contend with Clark, and the
warm enthusiastic applause of the people
given to Clark at the conclusion of his
speech told to Reynolds and his party (foI
he declares himself a partizan, and says he
will sink or swim with his party and their
principles) in language like thunder that
they would support Clark and the princi.
pies he advocated. Reynolds has an APP
pointment to speak to day at CentreviIIe,
in Macon county, Clark will again be with
him there, and | now predict that Reynolds
will fly off at tangent, and he and Clark
will meet no more during the canvass, I'M
less Clark can again fall in upon him as he
did yesterday: the result will prove whether
my predictions are true or not. Clark has
published IN the Boon's Lick Times, when
and where he will address the people up 10
some time in June. If Reynolds does not
acknowledge the superior proves of Clark
he will go with him; otherwise he will be
of. AN OLD FASHIONED REPUBLICAN.
