THE CIRCULARS TO orncR HOLDERS.

TIE CIRCULAR TO OFFICE HOLDERS
As many persons protesting Jefferson

gard the late circular rs anli.republican
ard tyrannical, We think il may be useful
here 10 remind them OF the views and
practice Of two former presidents whom
they profess to respect. The circular
trcads the footsteps OF Jefferson, and car
ries out the views OF jackson, as the fol-
lowing extracts will serve to show.
MR.. JEFFERsON'S Circular.
Extract from Mr.. Je6ersoHs Circular addressed
10 oBics holders under hiaseH.
"Thc President of the United States
has seen with dissatisfaction, officers OF
the General Government, taking, ON va

the General or State Government. Free
dom of election being essential 10 the mu.
iual Independence OF Government, and OF
the different branches of the same Gov
eminent, SO vitality cherished by most OF
our constitutions, it is deemed improper
for officers depending ON the Executive OF
the Union, 10 attempt 10 control or lnilu'

Mr. OBJ. BROWNSON ON THE CUR
RENCY.

Mr. OBJ. BROWNSON ON THE CUR
RENCY. II
A week or more ago we published
from the Boston Quarterly Review, of
which Mr.. Brownson is the editor, his
opinion of Mr.. Van Buren,. In the same
article he thus discourses upon the Cur
rency:-
The administration of the party as a
Federal party, has been in the main con-
stitutional. It's measures have been just
and proper; and it has deserved the sup
port Of all the friends of the Constitution.
But in the bosom of the States themselves
in regard to State Legislation, it has been
as anti-democratic as the Wings them
selves; and, perhaps, to this fact, more
than to any other, should be attributed its
late disastrous defeat. 1t has called the
Wings the bank party, and urged US to
oppose them on that ground; but has it,
on the other hand, been an anti-bank
party! 1t has condemned the Wings
for issuing paper money, but has it ever
opposed paper money 1t has opposed
a United States Bank, but on the broad
ground of opposition to paper currency!
Has it no: contended for State banks as
strenuously, if not as openly, as have the
Wings! What then, has availed its OPP
position to National Bank. Aside
from certain constitutional and political
reasons, what arguments can you bring
against National Bank, that do not
bear with equal force against State banks?
Nay, once admit the policy of a paper
circulation. and it is questionable wheth-
er you are not unwise in opposing Ma.
tional bank. If the States are to be suf-
fered to issue. either directly or Indirect
| ly, through institutions Of their own crea-
ting, paper currency like the one we
now have, it may be contended with JUS
tice, that National Bank is needed: nay,
all but indispensable. Nothing can be
worse than as many different currencies
! as there are States, and as many different
currencies there will be, if the currency

A LOCO FOCO BLUNDER.

Our readers all know that there was las,
summer, revolution of all the taxable
property within the state Of Ohio. In
each county. there was board of equali-
cation. 'Fhe law required, also, the ap.
pointment by the Legislature of State
Board of Equalization, to consist of one
member from each senatorial district, and
to meet at Columbus this month. 1t
seems that the two houses, at the last SEES.
sion Of the Legislature, disagreed as to the
appointment of some of the members; and
inasmuch as they could not agree, they
passed resolution authorizing the Gov.
to appoint the whole board, which au.
thority the governor (Shannon) exercised,
The discovery has now been made, that
a law cannot be repealed or suspended by
resolution, and that the legislature pos.
sesses no authority to transfer power
which the law required them to exercise
to any other department of the govern.
