,rhe General Re.ul,.-No. III.

one moment suppose the now victorious host fully
invested wi;h power, and ying the Govern
meet in accordance with their ayowed principles
and osien.ible Objects. Let MIN suppose them
their a.ce odsncy in Congress restored, bu'ily at
work on the repeal Of The Distribution and Bank
r,,pt Laws. and the restoration Of the SubTreasu-
ry. Le, IL. suppose them resolved that this latter
act should not henceorth be what 1t before was, q
mere farce a specious sham, but bona jide ex-
action und keeping in specie Of all Government
dr.. TO the exclusion OF the notes OF unebjection-
abl. .pscie-payins banks. Let US suppose them
-,.;s;or ag,i, the war-crics which once shook the
commercial fabric of the country to its base, work
ing mischief Of which the extent has not yet been
disclosed. much less repared. Who doe, not
know tha, the country would rise electrically to
resist and overthrow them? that public meetings,
deputations, remonstrances, would be the precnr-
sors Of universal rush to the polls, and 1--WE are
cop6denD a decisive verdict against the revivers Of
a course of policy which once already filled the
land with disaster
So with our State Policy. If our opponents had
the honesty, the manlness, the faith in their own
portion of the Government has fallen TO them
on the principles which they have proclaimed in
the contest we should re oiee in their temporary
triumph. Let them but arrest the Enlargement Of
,be Erie Cannl. the construction of the Branch
Canals. refuse all aid to Railroads. (ths thing
we think they will do } and adoP, the SubTreasary
basis in the management of the fiscal concerns Of
this State, and we will bless the shameful apathy
or factiousness of fifty thousand Wings which
has given them thi, victory. If they will but do
this ast--if they will but pass bill requiring the
payment of our Canal urd Salt Rcvenucs in hard
coin and it, deposite in special vaults sub-trea-
suries instead of Banks we will give thcm credit
fol honesty which tllrr past has never yet
eyinced to our mind. Bat we shall not catch
Messrs vun Buren,, Flugg, Dix, Corning, Geo. X.
Davis & Co. doing any Thing of the sort. They
understand their own interest better. Their game
is TO talk specie for the dcluded portion Of their
followers and sustain the banks for their sake
and that of their knowing frion~s. On the subject
Of Int. rraI Improvement, ikey Hil steer as nicely
between somewhere and newher as possible 40 as

sections Of the STATE. Thus viii it be so long II.

Though continually mouthing unexcepticnable COM
nonplaccs inve,cratcly do nothing, dare nothing,
urge nothing for the good of mankind. Eternal ig-
norancc, selEconceit, and vain glory in the mass
the condition of desiring improvement because
not comprchendiag the necessity or the Practica-
bility of any, though sgnk in debasemcnt and mi
sery-is the paradise OF the Of hollow dema

less aim is by some popular party designation or
watchword to catch the humor of the unrOhectiag
many, and swim with the heaalong popular cur

virtual indifference that this game is feasible
one In the State Of New York we trust i, is no
longer SO, and will be nevcrmore. Those who as
pire to rule here mus, hencetorth show soma bet
ter credentials than the ability 70 talk much while
doing nothing-to balance dexterously between
conflicting opnions-to love the dear people in
tensely yet do nething for their welfare. We ba-
lieve the People will emphatcally demand FRUITS
of wheeyer shall assume to act in their behalf and
sSst any party which rcsisss or partially and re-
iue,an,ly yields 10 Internal Improvement-whchl
,astead of advancing in accordance with the spirit
of the age shall look back to Any snch exploded
conrivance of barbarism OF the Sub Treasury, can
have no permanent ascendaRcy in New York. In
this faith, we calmly bide our time.
