MANCHESTER WORKMAN.

This is the name Of a new paper, jus, start
The publisher of this paper, up to the March
election, has been a steady supporter of Mar
tin Van Buren,. But he says doubling the
correctness OF the principles and measures Of
the administration, he shall seek change
To the inquiry why he sought change or
what he had seen indicating any thing wrong
in the administration, he answers -
distress, wide spreading, universal, disas-
trous distress, is spreading over the land-the
channels of business choked up-enterprise
neutrality-suspicious. bankrupt--manufac
lures crippled out of employ en-
tirely, or at work at reduced prices-and the
open handed, honest-hearted laborer looking
in vain for support for himself and family
And as il this were not enough, we have seen
the administration instead of endeavorinp to
remedy this state of things and to mitigate the
evils which afllct the nation, putting forth
measures calculated TO aggravato trem--he
its organs and supporters, advocating the re f.
duction of the standard Of wages, thus greatly
increasing the burdens Of the poor and honest
debtor, while il benefits the credtor-adding
TO the treasures of the monied capitalists and
usurer, while it strips the borrower, and the
young and prudent man, who depends upon
his good credit for success in life, of all the
means Of advancement, and enabling the office
holder to revel in luxury and fill his pocket
with "yelow gold" while it beggars the con-
stituent and voter, robbng them of their hard
earned property. An observation of such
things has convinced us, that the present adj
ministration ought to be supported no longer
and we have been strengthened in our deter
minaion toquit it, by the reflection, that what-
erer measure change Of men may produce, it
is hardly possible that any change should be
for the worse.
We shall labor then for the support of Gen.
William II. Harrison. We believe the Amer
lean people need man o: his honesty of pur-
pose, and tried purity Of heart, to bring the
government back to its original sphere of ac-
tion-and we cannot but prefer the man, who
has often periled his life for the defence of
the helpless, and bestowed his service where
his country called, who is one of the people
and labors with them, to one whose chief mer-
ii is that he has sometimes successfully push
cd along his own schemes Of selfish aggran-
disement

We are informed that the wings of Sherbune
in this county, held meeting at the house of
Josiah Wood, on the 18th inst. to take into
consideration the state of the town and coun-
try The meeting was addressed by Messrs,
Fuller, Anthony, Markham, Cotton, shedd and
Wood.
The meeting adopted Resolution approx
ing Of the Harrisburg nominations for Presi.
didn't and Vice President.
Among other resolutions tho following spir-
tied one was adopted:
"Resolved, That every effort should be
made TO defeat the misrepresentation and
falsehoods put afoat by the Loco Focos to
diffuse the light of truth and to elect our can
didates already nominated, Harrison and Ty.
Ter, Jenison and Cotton"
The remarks made by Mr. Fuller, veteran
OF the revolution caused the tear to start from
many an eye.
Eight Delegates were chosen to attend the
Convention at Brandon on the 3Oth nst.-and
a committee Of vigilance was appointed for
each school district tn the town.
II is now believed that the Wings of Sher-
bune will carry their ticket at the coming c.
lection.

SYMPTOMS.

The tories are becoming exceedingly res
tive at the growing popularity of Gen. Harr-
son, in the very face of all their calumnies.--
Are the dirty missils which they have hitherto
raked up out of their filthicst kennels, and
which they have hurled as thick as hail, have
to their grea, modification, fallen perfectly
harmless at his feet. They are stark mad 4,
that they have not been able, even with the
help ofAmos, so eminen,ly qualified for dirty
work, to produce single spot upon his unfair
nishcd reputation. They hoped they might
defeat his election by downright lyng-no
wonder, then, that they are going mad, both
on account of their i'll success and their folly,
for they are beginning to see that they have
"wallowed in filth for nothing" We can only
advise them to keep cool, tina, they may the
better bear the unavoidable catastrophe which
is coming upon them.

BANK MONSTERS.

We had supposed that the Tories consider
ed the monster so nearly dead, they would
leave its dying struggles unmolested by their
boisterous clamor. But we are disappointed,
and again we hear the clamor raisedin the To-
ry papers about the mischief making Banks
They have occasion to renew the clamor, and if
possible, to turn the attention of the community
away from the all important questions which
are beginning to awaken the apprehension of
intelligent men in their own party, that "some-
thing is rotten in Denmark" The whole
corps of Tory Editors from Amos Kendall,
downwards, dread, as they dread the King of
Terrors, aye more even, anything like care
full scrutiny into the doings of the administra-
ton. They are ins,inctvely alarmed, like the
conscience stricken murderer, at such an er-
pose of economy and Democratic Simpln ny az
Mr.. Ogle has given in his independent and
fearless examination of "the palace" of the
King Of modern democrats.
Now, lest farther enquiry should be made as
to what have been the effects of Executive ex-
periments upon the business and currency of
the country; and the very climax of currency
experiments, the Sub Treasury, be. examined
and its merits disclosed to The People, they
cry out Banks Banks Oh these wicked
contrivances Of the Wings, have done all the
mischief "by expansions e. contractions' they
have brought about all the distress under which
the country groans-they are the sole cause
of the disordered state of the currency. Al
present we will not enter into an argument
with these "wind mills" for though 'facts are
stubborn things'they produce little effect upon
the windy blast, only to change its course
But we ask an intelligent people to look back
a few years and see if it can be discovered
who were the principal agents in creating the
greatest proportion of these Banks. From
1882 TO 1887 Jackson had large majority In
several states in 1882 he vetoed the United
States Bank Charter, and from this period up
to 1887 the Banking capital Of the United
States was greatly increased, this was done
upon the recommendation and by the advice
of the, then, administration, and in this bust
ness Amos Kendall was very actively employ
ed. How consistent! Don't you think Amos
has forgotten this old agency During this
period the Banking Capital in ten states
in every one of which the Jackson party had
decided majority, was increased by the enor-
nous sum Of almost s2,OOO,0O0, and making
in these ten state sl22, 900 These ten
states were New York, Ohio, Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Alabama, siississip-
pi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Missouri. Yet
Amos and his retailers would fain have their
readers believe that all the mischief Of which
the Banks have been the cause, is To be cliarg.
ed to the wicked Whigs.-And, freemen o.
Nermont,.ihe Tory leaders would blind YOU
ewes, that they may keep their own abomna
lions gu, Of sight. They cry, mad dog, hop
ing thereby TO put you on the wrong track.
We intend 10 say something farther, abou

TO THE PUBLIC,

Having recently learned from several news
papers printed in this State, that my political
sentiments have become matter of controver-
sy, deem it my duty, for the purpose of set
Ting the disputed point and putting the ques-
ton at rest, to make the following publication.
For the satisfaction of those so much con-
cerned for my political creed, will say tina,
the article which made its appearance some
time since in the Burlington Free Press, stat
ing, among other things, that at Wing meet
ing held at Castleton, 81 publicly renowned
Van Burenism and pledged myseTto the Ohio
Farmer" was incorrect. ! made no public
address to that convention. But the language
ascribed to mes in the article alluded to is
substantially what have repeatedly stated in
private conversation, both before, at the time
of, and since that meeting. Therefore felt no
disposition, nor saw any necessity to con-
tradict it, as the error mainly consisted in max
ing me to say publicly to a convention, what
had said only in private conversation to in
dividuals.
lthas, for some time previous to the Castle
ton meeting, been my dspassionate and can
did opinion, which l have frequently express
ed in conversation with gentlemen, that the
course pursued by the present administration,
in most of its important measures, was wholly
subversive of the interests and welfare of the
American people-that tie country was, and
for length of time had been, suffering for the
want of well-regulated currency, such as it
was the constitutional duty of government to
provide. That the currency had been derang-
ed, and in q measure destroyed in consequence
of an unwarrantable power welded by the ex-
ecutive against the banking institutions thro'-
out the country. That the financial operations
of this great commonwealth could never be
managed without United States
Bank. That the sub-treasury was dangerous
to our free institutions, inasmuch as it lays the
foundation for a great government Bank, and
places the whole treasure of the United States
within the power of the president, thereby en-
abling him to WELD the great money powers OF
the nation to promote his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
