Yesterday addressed you a hurried note, in
relation to the willingness the part Of capitalists
wealthy merchants, and others, to furnish the Fede
ral Government with as much money as i, may
want, provided the Revenue Bill, now before the
Senate becomes law Of the land. knou the
parties are fully abe to comply with any promise
they may make. ard have the money and the pe,ns
OF raising as much as the Government owe. In tho
nbsenee OF legal and proper Revenue Bill. thew
consider Il unwiso and unsafe to loan the Govern.
ment dollar. But the purpose Of writing You to.
day is to explain a paragraph in my note Of ves-
terdnyi believe said, that 10 conseouenes n,
the general proslra,on Of business, money WINS ae
cumula,ing in large sums, &c. I should have added
That is going into the pockets Of the rich and If
Course leaving the pockets Of the poor. The ioolo
rious crusade that the Jackson and Van Bursn nd.
mInistrations waged upon tho most uniform and
beiuiiul currency the world evcrsaw, at every stem
made the rich richer and tho poor poorer vat the
distress and wrelchedness shich Jackson. Van
Buren,, Benton, Kendall & Co, Inflicted unop the
lower classes were light, compared to the slmos,
universal destruction which the daring and reekl.s.
acts Of MIR Veto Tyler have caused. Tho CONNER.
eial and mercantile men having los, confidence in
their own Government, since tho acting President
has taken 1t upon himself 10 collect Revenue in his
own way and without authority Of law, q SEQ he
has the authority Of his law officer, who had better
turn professor in some College, or assist Cant Tv.
Tor and his wise guard in discussing South Carolinn
and Virginia distinctions constitutional seruples
and hair 'pIiI'ing) arc reehng sails and ss,ening
'heIf business, expenses, &C. and consequently
vast number Of clerks, laborers, &C. are thrown ool
OF employment and fear tho condition Of tho
working classes will grow worse and worse, o. long
as Capt Tyler hangs on 10 the Office which he daily
disgraccs The sentiment Of disgust and eonlemp,
toward him and bis few supporters and absuors. in
bis acts Of niamy, is now pretty general among ali
honorable men. Whata calamity upon the country
that such GET should control tho Govornmen, for
moro Than two years longer But in the darkest
hours Of trial and trouble, there il always some
eonsoeton. Tho last Veto added much Strength
" tho Clay cause, and the coming Veto will rouse
the people Of the country u sense Of their danger
They will then shake OF tho dew drops that Gilt,
tor on their garments" and tho watch>cry will be-
our Country and Harry Of ne West b.
