by the official organs Of the party 10 make more
Banks. These were not only adopted by the Nd.
nlinjstration as the means Of furnishing a good
currency. but also as safe fiscal agent Of the
Federal Treasury. These new stimulants, the
public deposes, and the patronage of the Fed
Ell Government, awobe the States to new eff.
forts in Bank making, and they increased the
number from $50 to near a thousand and now
when the country is flooded with their deprecated
lrash--whcn they have failed to pay up the de.
posits-when they have, for a second lime sus.
pended specie payments, and made the violation
Of charters, and disregard Of contracts, the or
der Of the day--aiter the laborers have been dc.
prived OF their wages, and the Brokers become
lat on the industry Of the people, the authors of
this experiment lrrn around and denounce al
these ruinous effects with faces just as hard rs
if they had never conlrived them: and as though
they had not in due season been forewarned a
thousand times, by thousand voices Of the evils
which they were bringing on the country.
| Exper mcnt Nor 4, was to give the nation,
"hord money" When this experiment com.
menced, we had hard money government. Every
man in the whole nation, could, at his pleasure,
convert his paper dollar into siIve dollar; and
now, when all the gold and silver is locked up
in the vaults Of local Banks and a chaos Of ire
dcemablc rags are substituted for hard money, we
are informed by the President that tits not the
duty Of the Government t. provide a currency
for the use oil the pcople,-And experiment No.
o. the Sab, Treasury, is TO provide hard money
for the government (spoils for the public officers
and the people are to be left in the hands Of CLOSED
Banks, which the parona- e Of the administration
warmed into feeble aEds sickly existence.
The only hope held up by MIR. Van Buren, t.
heal the deep wounds which he has inflicted upor
his country, is this 9th experiment-the Sui
Treasury. Then | repeat, it is not contest be
tween Gen. Harrison and Mr.. Van Buren--t il
a contest between the ruin aud the prosperity o
the United States of America and it is in th
view that the thronging thousands are coming t.
) the rescue. The question % be decided at thu
next election, is this: VIII the people Of tn

d century proves will lead them to happiness AM
prosperity; or will they continue 10 follow Nj
