ling trash, save now and then an almos, inau-
dible vhimpcr from some back.woods print,
coming from some of the distant andvbcnight-
cd regions of Van Buren, idolatry. Why is all
this, unless il be that you have discovered the
impo,cncy of such means 10 promote your
languishing cause' Again we interrogato,
how much have YOU made by it,
Now, the whole force of the tory press is
directed TO the absurd and supremely ridicu-
lous cndeavor, Of pcrsuading the people Of
these United States of America that they are
mistaken--cn,irey in error, in supposing that
there has been any pecuniary embarrassment
or prostration of business and enterprise in
the country. Formerly, the object has been
TO Justify the government of participation in
producing known and acknowledged evil, but
finding the people were able to trace the pro-
curing cause of this calamity directly TO the
high-handed acts Of the Executive, and would
not be persuaded against positive evidence 10
believe TO the contrary, they are now taking
the back track, hoping by going over the
ground second time, to evolve the conclu-
sion that there has been no distress! The ar
9umcnt is as reasonable as was that of a ccr-
tain lawyer, in an action brought for recovery
of damages for injury sustained by borrowed
cauldreu kettle. lie first proposed to prove
that the kettle was cracked when defendant
borrowed it; secondly, that il was whole when
he returned it, and thirdly tina, he never had

Amos Kendair the ,u,slAry god of the loeos,
soon after his transfer from fat Office TO the
situation of high priest over the tory confede
racy, discovered that there was no distress
existing which any honest man should regret"
lie never experienced any, while basking in
the sunshine of his royal masters favor, and
was not aware that any Of the office holders
were scantily supplied with the means OF pro-
curing the luxuries of life. True, there was
a long train of hungry, servile expectants who
were not yet supplied, because there were no
Offices for them, but the prospect was that the
sub treasury, land speculation and Florida war
would soon provide for most of them; but as
for the people-the producers, the eontempti-
bic, laboring, lard Gs.ed yeomanry, he neither
knew or cared for them. 1t was not princi-
pie recognized by this improved reformed
that the government should
trouble itself about the peopie' The sen,i-
ment was, that the government should take
care of Itself and the people provide for them
selves: il they can do it, it is well, and if not
1t sJust as well--that is their lookout, not
the governments. The people shosl BOT en-
Joy the benefits of National bank Tat any
rate such an one as the old U. S. Bank was
for it was not absolutely under the control of
the president; and, if in consequence of its
destruction, the currency become deranged
so that men cannot transact business or drive
forward the numerous branches of mechanical
and manufacturing interest, and the laboring
poor suffer for food and clothing through lack
81 employment, they must remedy the difficult |
ty themselves. The Treasury Note concern
government purposes much better,
and this was reason enough for the exchange.
But we are told, in the face OF experience,
,fter having endured six years of famine, with
no prospect of the promised plenty, that no
possible cause of complaint exists, that we
must be reconciled to take few more tortur-
ng government emetcs-try few more ex
,eriments before the political system can re-
ume its wonted functions. Do you, Mr..
Kendall, hope to make any one believe this
low much do you erpeot to make by this
,iece of advicel The people, however, give
leoided indications of their intention to try one
experiment contrary to your advice-an ex-
will restore them their rights
Is men and freemen, and punish you and your
Master as traitors TO the interests of your
country. They will cleanse the fountains of
government, which you have polluted, place
ionest men in office, dispense the banditti
which you have gathered around the Temple
IF Liberty, and heal the wounds which Free
lom has suffered at your hands. There is dis
ress, but deliverance is at hand and univer-
'al jubilee will soon be proclaimed.
