MOVEMENTS OF THE NEW REVOLT
TIONARY PARTY.

The revolutionary movements projected BY the
Ex-Cdbnet and their followers at Washington, and
chalked out in the recent Ultra Wing Address,"
have been adopted by the ultra wings for this state,
cOncurred in by Governor Seward aud his Cabinet,
and the nknse was accordlny " issued las! week at
Alabama by the l'ltra-Whg State committee for
the assembling of a State Convention on the nth
of October II, Syracuse, to plain and conduct their
future operations
This is one of the boldest and most remarkable
movements that ever took place in this country
1t proposes 10 revolutionize the goye,nment--to
repeal the Constitution in some Of its important
features, and to substitute in the place ofth yen-
n,ent, Il BANK CHARTER and a BANK
OLIGARCllY, with capital of FIFTY MILL
IONS, to control legislation and gives laws TO
free people,
The leading interests in this singular conspiracy
consists of the following classes:
Disappointed office beggers,
Stock johbcrs and broken brokers.
Foreign financial agents in this country.
Earrings Brothers \ Co. London, and the lead
ing cotton houses in Europe.
Broken and suspended Banks.
Spectators and hankrup,s

dron Of revolution.
As this movement is one Of the most curious
furious aud crocious that ever was projected in AZ

since the frs, dongs of Robcsplerre and his ASSOC

DEMOCRACY AND THE CURRENCY.

The defeat Of the regulators at the late session
of Congress, makes it the imperions duty of the
Democracy TO commence Immediately vigorous
system ofrelormaton in their paper system. Banks
must be brought into subordnaion to law: they
must he made to obey the laws of the land and
those laws require them 10 pay their debts.
The suspension of the Southern and Western
banks have now continued near four years, with a
little in,ermisson, from May, 1887, to the present
time. Judging from all present appearances, it is
the design of the Clay Wings. and Of all the nso-
vent and pctica parts of the banks 10 continue in
The suspension, for the purpose of making the peo-
pie believe that there can be no resumption without
National Bank.
The Bank Of the United States whose example
the rest make prctcM for suspendng, Is now
dead, and no one longer look to her to take the
lead in resuInng. No one need now to quote her
example.
The new crops are made; the session has been
bountiful specie is abundant IN the country, and
C,reicn exchanges are in our favor. The Bank that
cannot resume now is insolyent, and ought 10 be
e,posed and wound up. Every solvent bank can
now resume. What, then, prevents resumption ,
We answer, two thing; first, the Wing party who
are for increasing and perpeluati"g the evils of de-
precia,ed paper in order to have an argument for
a National Bank; and secondly. the insolvent part
of the banks, who have their own inlirnllies 10
hide. These constitute the opposition to resump-
ton: and are they TO prevail Will the Denoc-
racy suffer such nnhoy parties TO prevail over law,
morals. and government
The late session Of Congress has exhibited the
designs of Federal Whiggery in the most glanns
colyrs, as fatally bent on the deterioration OF the
currency. They did every thing 10 degrade and
deprecate it. Their votes on the deisrict bank

workshops, and when in rougher contact with the
world Women never whistle; it is masculine, as
well as warlike. Boys, the embryo soldiers and
patriots of future years. are ambitious of whstling,
and when they don their paper caps, and flourish
their wooden swords and play the soldier, they keep

ANECDOTE OF DECATUR.

The gallant Decatur was sailor TO the heart 5
core, and loved to tell anecdotes of the common
sailors, rccollecl one which he used TO relate, TO
the following purport In one of the actions before
Tripoli, while fighting hand to hand with the cap
tain Of u gun boat, Decatur came near being cut
down by Turk, who attacked him from behind,
A seaman named Reuben James who was already
wounded in both hands, seeing the risk Of his COM
mardcr, rushed in ard received the blow of his
upliiied sabre on his own head, Fortunately, the
honest fellow survived to receive his reward. Some
time alierward, when he had recovered from his
wounds, Decatur sent for him on deck, expressing
his gratitude for his selCdevolion, in presence Of
the crew, and told him TO ask for some reward.
The honest tar pulled up his waislband, and rolled
his quid, but seemed utterly at loss what recon-
pense to claim. His messmates gathered around
him, nudging him with their elbows, and Whisper
and could get what he plcased;'' "tho old man
could deny him nothing etc. One advised this
thing, another that, "louble pay" "double al
owancc," ga boatswain's birth" ga pocket fall
of money and full swing on Shore" etc. Jack ell
bowed them all aside, and would have none oflheir
counsel. After mature delibcraon, he announced
the reward to which he aspired; it was, 10 be er-
cased frrm rolling mp the kammock cloths! The
whimsical request was of course granted; and from
that time forward whenever the sailors were ppcd
to stow away their hammocks, Jack was to be seen
lettering around. and looking on with the most gen.
lenanlike leisure. lie always continued in the
same ship with Decatur. 81 could always know
the state Of my bile by jack" said the commodore.
"If | was in good humor. and wOic Il pleasant as
pcci, Jack would be sure 10 heave in sight, to re-
ceive friendly nod and if were out OF hunour,
and wore, as sometimes did, foul-wCathcr ply
siognomy, Jack KEEP, aloof and skulked among the
sailors" 1t Is proper to add, that Reuben James
received more solid reward for his gallant deyo-
ton, than the privilege above mentioned, n pension
having been granted him by government. On
another occasion, Decatur had received at New
York the freedom of the city, as testimonial of
respect and gratitude. On the following day, he
overheard this cooquy between two of his salIors;
jack" said one, "whal is the meaning of this
freedom of the city, which they've been giving
TO the old man. "Why, don't You know
Why, lis the right to irolic about the streets as
much as he pleases, kick up row, knock down
the men, and kiss the women" "Oh no." cried
the other; "ihars something worth fighting fort
