Administration Of Adams, Clay, &
Co., the present administration should
be so embarrassed for funds! How is
it, that under j. q. Adams Admin
istration, the revenue from customs
in 1898 amounted to S2l 800, 900,
while under the present, it is but about
half that sum- 1t will not do to say
that this immense difference is owing
altogether to the reduction of the tariff,
for we know better. If with $50 Tor
eign arrivals at Boston in 1923, and the
same proportion elsewhere, the reve-
nue. was double what it is now, with
1000 foreign arrivals, what shall we
conclude? One Of two things must
be true; either this great increase of
foreign commerce is no benefit to the
country-or it is no evidence Of COM
mercial prosperity. They might as
well produce the number Of Custom
House officers ut New York, who have
been increased from l64 under j. G.
Adams, to Ala under Van Buren, as
evidence Of the great increase of bu-
siness mt that place, and consequently
of great commercial prosperity. While
tho facts are that the ia Officers col
lcctcd moro revenue than the Ala by
about 100000. These arc strange
results Of commercial prosperity. They
may suit the Loco Focos, but they are
not very satisfactory to thinking people.

TO MR. VAN BUREN,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

have read your fourth Of July
letter to the Convention at the Sulphur
Springs, in Kentucky; though it is to Il
small body Of men, representing only
three counties, you doubtless meant it
for the whole People oftho United States
Every citizen, therefore, may consider
it as addressed to himself, aud may re-
ply to it accordingly
You begin with saying that the Ken
tucky resolutions Of '98 have now be-
como the political creed Of all parties.
But have you a right to say this? For
I would ask you-is the union Of tho
purse and tho sword, in the hands of
the Executive, a doctrine of those reso-
lutions? If it bo not, then they are not
your creed, nor that ofyour party. For
you, by their aid, have now consumma-
ted that Union; and that consummation
is announced and made q matter Of
boast in this very fourth Of July letter.
Or do you hold that Union Of purse and
sword to be doctrine Of those resolu-
tons? You must indeed, to be consis-
tent with yourself. You even profess
to make them your political Bible
Bible indccd!--It must be strange
Bible; if on the one hand South Caro-
lima, from it can make out the doctrine
Of notification; and from it, on the
other hand, you can make out the doc
trinc Of olidation--doctrines the
antipodcs Of each other. South Carroll
ma made these resolutions the basis of
nullilication, and you now make them
the basis Of consolidation. If you are
both right, or if either be so, Kentucky
has very little reason to be proud Of
that Bible, or Of being its author; your
high wrought compliment, on that score
TO tho contrary notwithstanding. But
she ropudiatcs these interpretations,
and pronouncos both to be heresios-
rank villanous hercsies.
To heighten their joy, you tell the
Convention to note-"on this very day

deed that concentrates all power in the
Executive. In other words, 81 have
given you an independent Treasury"

without power to say who they should

very probable thing truly! A con-
spiracy to betray the public for the
pecuniary emolumcnt Of n few, with
out knowing who they were to be!
The Bank was ostensibly proposed
as means, to give to the nation nation
al currency, it was advocated in, and
passed by Congress Oh that ground;
on that ground it was approved by
Washington. Now was that ground
mere prctext to cover the secret de-
sign you imputc, namely, "io enable

and opposed at the timer The Bank
was opposed in both Houses of Con

Of this country been most prosperous

were destitute Of such currency? |
hardly think you will answer, it was
while they were destitute Of such n cur
rency. Then again ask, could that
be Il fraud upon the country, which was
boon to the country?
Il Your calumny, probably, was intend
cd to affect only Washington, and the
party of whom he was the head; but il
affects equally, and indeed more strong
