ny. Many bills will have 10 be passed over for want
oilime. i he most important only ought 10 be acted
UPON. The currency of the county demands imme-
date attention, as there cannot be any revival Ia
trade TIL We have money that will circulate through
out the whole length and breadth Of the nation.
As to ourselves, We care but little what Kind Of a
mii Congress msy pass, provided they can produce
the happy result Of relieving the country from It's pre-
sent pecuniary embarrassment. This must be done,
or matters nil 90 worse and worse, ill ruin will
stalk II over the hole land. One portion of the

there being m circulating medium suitable for he
e1igencies Of the whole republic The notes ofsone

pay mans debts outside Of his immediate neis hbor-
hood.
Internal commerce is greatly crippled for want Of
sound national currency. And Congress alone can
grant us the relief required. We look TO no
other source for help and we trust they will do some
thing for us before they adjourn. The feelings of
the friends Of commerce lean strongly towards the
Exchequer. Ii would do much 10 waken up the
dropping spirits Of the people. Recently, we heard
a gentleman who Is well acquainted with the money
matters of the country, DECLARE that if the Exche
quer could be passed into law that in sixty days
the whole nation would feel its salutary influence.
He was formerly great advocate of Bank Of the
United States, but he says Bank could not be put
into operation now il the charter be obtained,
as the stock would not be subscribed. The Exche-
quer would require no subscription, and could be put
instantly into operationand il is his belief that
would act like charm throughout the nation. I'm
der TINS view OF the matter, hope Congress will
pass the Exchequer The currency Of the country is
greatly dlsordered, and wants something to give il
new impulse and il is confidently believed the Ex-
chequcr would produce that result

tii the decision OF the Convention which shall select
a candidate for the Democratic party. In that de-
cision We shall cheerfuly acquiesce let il fall on
whom II may That II may fall upon the patriot
and statesman now al the head Of the Government is
our earnest prayer, and far depends upon
our feeble exertions, it shall be task to do all
that we can fairly and honorably, to achieve that
result.
JOHN TYLER is our first choice for the next Presi-
dency and to secure the nomination for him shall be
our constant care, but while engaged in this honest
task, we shall never permit ourselves detract from
the merits and high claims Of the various distinguish
ed statesmen who may be the first choice Of our
brother Democrats. All We ask Of them, is "a fair
held and no favor, and we shall never be back
ward in doing justice to their fayorites.
We might here 80 into detail Of the reasons why
Mr. Tyler is our first choice for the next Presidency;
but his glorious vindcation Of Democratic principles
from the dissertation Of the Federalists since his ac
cesson to power is too fresh in the recollection of
every one, to need repetition. As time rolls on his
acts will stand out from the canvass, and do
giously believe. that the Convention meets the
voice OF the people in his favor will be so strong
that his nomination will be event which no power
on earth can prevent.

Try at least, and as we firmly believe, success sits
perched upon our standard we have drawn our
