fully depicted this state of degradation, suber.ion and
injury, in that part Of his message in which he says,
that our money system has its centre in London That
all our banks linked together by chain of depen
dence which ends there that not only the great cities
but the remote villages Of the interior, are linked
to this CHAM that the establishment of new bank
in the most distant village of our Union immediately
places the business of that village within the infu
cnce Of the money power OF England; and that the
result OF the whole is the periodical commissions and
bank suspensions to which We subject, and the es
Enlistment of dangerous foreign influence in our bo
som. These are the declarations Of the President; and
these declarations all know to be faithful history
of what suffer. We know The curse of our country
at this moment its broken banks deprecated paper mo-
ney, and sckening demoralization the effect Of
subsection to the moneycd oligarchy in England and
that subsection is the fruit Of our copying her deu.

fifty years ago Since the revival of the Demo.
cratic party, have been endcavoring to throw of
this subiection and return 10 the hard money system
created for us by the hard money men who framed
what they intended to be hard money Government

subsection than About one.half of the States
have linked themselves TO the chain whose end in

debted States to involve the others, and the whole
Union, in their unfortunate condition.
To make head against all these evils, while we arc
able to do TO sthe foreign interference in it's cradle
to repnlse the nsdous approach Of assumption in the
disguise of land revenue distribution: to enable
selves to 60 with the appropriate business Of Con-
gress, think It right to anticipate the attack and to
put an end to hope and future efforts, by adopting re-
solutions OF the tenor and character which have had
the honor to offer.
Mr. President, in conclusion, permit me to turn one
word towards myself for the sake of doing Justice to
others. Among those events of nv life for which |
have reason to be thankful, the circumstance of
