The next thrust was aimed at the currency OF
the country No sooner was il discovered TINT
the national bank would not wear the Dutch col
lar than trained spanels were let loose 10 prey up
on every department of it's operations. Mr'Cui-
yer went on to comment with great severity upon
Jackson's course towards The deposite banks and
attributed the partial preservation Of our credit
and currency, TO the conservative principles OF Tie
inhabitants Of New England. Then he took up
the specie circular, and lastly the SUD treasury
scheme, the latest nightmare which has pressed
us to the earth. This idol of the administration,
said he is n wonderful child, and lis 5enealogy Is
still more curious. Like Nebuchadne zZnr's image,
he said il was made of divers materials and by
different hands. Silas Wright shaped the head
aud Fanny Wright moulded the face; Slalnn,
Ming, and Co formed the breast, and Benton the
body. Still il was imperfect, tor it could not run
aCdy; the legs were skiltully wrought and put on,
however, by Calhoun and now tue decree had
gone forth That whoever would not how unto it,
should be proclaimed through the whole length
and breadth OF the land, as n black cockade feder.
ulist. He displayed its odious features i'll every
shape, clearly showing that it would be in fact, n
great moneyeu rampant behind which the army OF
office holders might fight for their places and Sc
the people at defiance; and proved most irreslst-
bly, the utter inadequacy of its provisions for the
wants and necessities of the land. He felt sure
that there was not a true hearted Green Mountain
Bow, who would not throw it off with contempt.
But said he, this measure although the admins
traon has had the power TO pnss 1t at any mo-
inent, has now Tor n long time been dangling be
tween heaven and EARTH and why is il not passed?
(IIere many voices cried out, they dared not pass
it.) Right! said he you're true yankees at guess
ing. At first Van Buren, wanted some expressions
of State feelings he did not know how the scheme
would be received by The states but lie soon found
out; and the state expressions which lie has rccei
we'd from New York, from Virginia, and from ev-
cry other quarter Of the United States, have mosl
amazingly cooled the ardor of his love for this
darling oihis bosom. He then went on to speak
OF the vii pervading influence of Party spirit, and
said that New York could tell all about it's corrup
ting power. There, in the days of the Regency
domination, WINS Rail Road wanted-"wil! i,

in this country have no fixed landmarks, and but
seven principles viz the fire lonves and f,Oo fish

purposes. They promised better times; but the
prosperity they promised us, is like the wo-lhe
wisp it always is just so far ahead. The tainper-

that she had always been true 10 her republican
principles Her sister Massachusetts had once lief
