RRlTIS II GOLD
THE FOREIGN MONEY INFLUENCE

IIrsinians! Pause and po"der'
II is no longer matter of doubt that the wing
party, in their attempt to elect Gen Harrison, do re-
civc the aid the coun,enancc and the support Of the
British bankers and fundmongers, II not OF the Eng
lsh Government itself. Vast IS the wealth Of IFS
members, and powerful rs the influence Of the banks
has bccn il requires than human crednlrty to be-
!cyc tina, they have been unassisled their rcmen-
dois efforts defeat the election oI NJ. Van Buren,.
In June, the New \ ork Evening Post, paper re-
markabe for It's scrGpuousness, made the following
statement, speaking of the English bankers
eli hv the expenditure of million or two 10 pro-
mote the success Of the Wing candidate the value of
their inme nse mass of American stocks can be raised
three or four millions in the market the operation will
be profitable one, and they will regard the money as
well employed
An American in London, having seen the above
Immediately wrote the Editor the Post, follows
"The paraGra ph struck me at the time, and have
taken little pains Ia ascertain what foundation
there for the insnuatIon 1t contained, and from
conversation with prominent American merchant
whose name will not mention, but who, by the way,
is very decided in his hostility TO Mr.. Van Burrn,) I

TO AMERICA, a LARGE SUM OF MONEY 10

Of thc party OPPOSED TO PRESIDENT VAN
BUREN, ond that a MUCH LARGER AMOUNT
WILL FOLLOW, If il ran be uScd ,rih effect"
Here then would seem To be enough for the
conclusions that lh English fund -mongers leari and
soul with the Wings IN their attempt TO pull down the
sound system Of currency advocated by the Democra-
nc party But let us hear the English themselves on
the subject Hear of the panprrrd organs "i the
Tory party speaking of the disputed Territory and the
State Debts. 1t is Frazcr's Magazine of September
last:
the American naicrity wish for with and, ii it i
l.. come upon This N", Eastern !nndaC ia'hcr
una the othr A
war after the RtrFi\NS of MAINE ~cH chaS", melt
rs . would prohalv rrrva and peace would be re-
established N a better understanding.
The drift Of the above is that ifthe Wings could get
into power, the disputed territory would be given up
without difficulty BE tins so or moi, it shows such u
great identity OF feeling between the English and the
Wings of tic L. s, that the former are even io"k no
Ia the latter inr the concession OF point OF national
honor. The English have experienced the sernEess
of the Democratic party this subject, and well know
that they would have nothing TO lose and possibly much
to gain By the coming of the Wings into power Speak
Ing Of the party i'll power, this Magazine says
- The General Government Is so dishonest ana ~
treachcrous that the dishonest and vilest popu
lace in the world is ashamed of it,. Why, it may be
asked this ofabusc poured out upon the de
mocratic Majority Let the British organ answer:
| "We have fny-fve millions sterling invested IN
American securlties-in canals, railroads, &c
| II is we'll known how this debt TO Great Britain has
been incurred. Many Of the States are suffering uu
| der the burden which IS fastened upon them he De
mocratlc party power asked TO distribute the pro
ceeds of the public lands, in order that the States
might thereby redeem their obligations. They refuse
to adopt such policy. They are then asked to com
pass the same object by assuming the State Debts
This they also decline doing, and hence the anger o.
the British capitalists which they have incurred Inc
capitalists though thus Frustrated IL Their appeals TO '
Democratic party, do not, however, iali OF hope. he'
next invoke, with honcd phrase, their r'ght ha'.'
friends in this Countrywide ruling men OF the " NC
party-the bank ridden portion OF the community
! X knowing their Willingness 10 have high ! arm AM
National Debt fixed upon the country the British or
gan thus speaks Of them" the honest men OF Tn
/ country" as il thinks proper to call them:
sTi honest country will interest on our cap
al a long cannot the only mode by who
we could be satisfied wonId he By TAX 'rHE MAJORITY
WILL SUBMIT TO 40 TAX for any such silly purpose
serving the national We then look the Fsder
Gorernmcit and COMPEL 1T TO PAY OUR SUBJECTS
6 The majority 'cW submit to no tar. Very true
We want no Tariff, National Debt in order TO ra'
, money for the Golfers of the English bankers.
Aware of the means which have been adopted u
England to defeat Mr. Van Buren's Democratic po'cy
the Liverpool Standard London Morning Herald, Lon
don Times, Post and other papers OF Great Britain
seem to be quite confident of Gen HARRISON s"c's
