The Presidents Pian-The Presidents PLAN
TO bear striking similarity that proposed by
General Jackson IN has annual message in 1880 AT
that time the Jackson party had not launched fully
upon the wide ocean of experiment and in the plan,
then recommended, acknowledged the duty, after
wards denied (under the ascendancy of Loco Foco
reckessness) OF taking care Of the currency of the
country.
This plan was however, wisely and honestly OPP
posed by the Wings, because in order TO adopt it, il
necessary to break down the nited States Bank
and put To hazard the currency this county then
joyed, which was as perfect AZ II could be-
But have a different state of things. In
stead of currency which needed only to be let alone
we have wretched currency which must be made
better Instead of all United States Bark in sue
cessful operation have its ruins without the pow
er of re-constructing the institution. 1t may now be
wisdom 10 adopt the very project which il was then
folly to propose Certainly il would be extreme fol-
y to reject IT, simply because il proposed under
| other circumstances by whom we dislike.
/ 10 reject measure merely because an enemy adj
yocates IT, or to espouse doctrine because he OPP
poses IT, though very common, is very silly BY
doing so we put ourselves completely in the pow
er OF that enemy Let him assume a correct posi-
ton and we Immediately take opposite ground.
Let hun attack an error, and immediately rush
TO It's defence. In the end, truth always con
quers error, fall with the faacy whose defence
we had so fooshy undertaken.
II, therefore, upon mature consideration, it shall
appear that the project recommended by the Presi-
dent ought TO be adopted hope that the fact that
it resembles General Jacksons scheme may not pre-
JUDGE il with the Wings and may disarm the oppo-
ston OF the cooler spirits Of the Van Buren, party
hope which we trust we may entertain, without in
curing the charge Of trusting too much to the can
dor OF the opposition AT the present time the rigid
lines of party seems to he relaxed and we would
fam take advantage of this to unite the great mai ori-
~ Of the people IN favor of some measure for the
establishment OF well regulated currency the
only secure and permanent foundation, the conf
dence OF the whole people, and the concurrence of
all parties.
