Another DefaEcatIOTs.

Great excitement prevailed in New York last
week, in consequence Of the announcement Of the
defalcation of James NJ. Schermerhorn, Secretary
of the Ocean Insurance Company, for the large
sum Of one hundred and ftythree thousand dollars.
This fraud had its origin in speculation, some ten
years ago, and was successfully concealed by
means of forged receipts till last Tuesday. Scher-
merhorn first used portion Of the funds of the
Company to speculate in Delaware and Hudson
Canal Stock, and lost nearly the whole invest
ment To retrieve his loss, he entered into other
speculations, but with no better success, and
when he had lost about $50,000 of the Company S
funds, he resorted to the expedent of issuing 500
additional shares oftheir stock Nothing however
could save him, and he is now exposed to the
gaze of the community, with all his evil practices
fastened on him. His case is now under prelm-
mary examination, before the Recorder of New

EocO Foco misrepresentation.

We know it is preposterous TO look for any thing
like fairness, in politics, from the Monroe Demo-
crat, and kindred loco foco prints; yet must
confess that have been considerably aston
ished at the audacty with which inky neigh
Jour, and some Of his political brethren through
out the country, have been laboring TO make their
readers believe that the present harl times" and
low wages" are TO be attributed to the Wings.
An article of half columns length, in the last
cut Democrat contains the principal arguments and
" assertions which are made use of establish this
.ozen, grave accusation and may be summed up in the
CHO~toowing few words: "the Federalists. previous
Die ageso the last Presidential election promised the peo
PrIce-o9e if they would elect Gen Harrison, prosper
May lous times, dollars day for work, and
NC beef for dinner; but instead OF this they have
brought upon them hard times, reduced their wa
u-ges. and deceived them in every other respect"
S, Now we DO not intend 10 enter into a labored ar
tcle to prove the falsity of these assertions for
every who is at all acquainted with the poll
tics of the country knows them to be without any
foundation in truth. As far as the Wings are
concerned, they have performed every premise
they made previous TO the election; and if John
Tyler, and the loco foco members of Congress,
have done any thing 10 blast the expectations of
The people, cut short the reforms anticipated in
that mighty political revolution, they, and not the
Wings, are 10 blame That they hare done so,
we have the following examples. The country
inundated with irredeemable paper cur
rency, and the Wings promised to better it by es-
tablishing National Bank; but were defeated by
the combined efforts Of John Tyler and the Loco
Focos. They also promised to go for Protective

lhe charge of Federalism and low wages"
he had also better be easy, and say no more about
Them. For If there is any thing odous in the
name Of Federq'ist, II must al attach to himself

Buchanan, who declared that il he had ''drop of
Democratic blood in his veins he would let it out :"
As regards low wages, he is equally deep in the
mire, for James Buchanan, in his noted speech on

he wanted to see asqgcs in the United States re-
Guced to a hard money Standard which is TEN
CENTS 4 DAY.

reported the following Preamble and
Resolutions, which were unanimously

Whereas, fearful crisis has occur
red in the General Government, which
has reduced us from a state Of unpar-
aileled prosperity to the verge Of uni
versal bankruptcy-and Whereas, the
country is now laboring under the
evils OF deranged and deeply disor-
dered currency--mechanical industry
being paralyzed, manufactures and
commerce being brought to stand,
and the anomaly presented of the pros
perity and business of society, in all its
ramitications, in a time Of profound
peace and amidst a profuse abundance
Of the bounties of kind Providence,
being suddenly checked and embar-
raised, to the ruin of thousands of our
industrious mechanics, merchants and
laboring men, and Whereas this la
mentablc condition of affairs having
begun under the auspices of former
administrations, in experimenting on a
good and healthy currency, with the
delusive promise to better its now
continued and extended by the periidy
and deceitfulness OF the man whom the
great Harrison Party, in an evil hour
elevated TO power-and who, yielding
TO the promptings of an overweaning
ambition and the subject of a weak
and imbecile mind, has proved
false to his pledges and the country's
hopes, and instead of carrying out
"the true principles Of the Gooe,n-
ment," as enjolned upon him in the
last and dying words of the lamented
Harrison, has thwarted the just expec-
tations of anxious millions, and blast
ed the sanguine and patriotic hopes
anticipated from the glorious Wing
triumph in lS40.
The time has arrived when it again
becomes the duty Of every freeman, to
exert himself in placing redeeming
spirit in the traitors place, whose
higher attributes can break the chain
Of dissolution now Nnhappily fastened
upon the energies of the land, and dis
enthral groaaing people from the
baneful and degrading influences by
which they have been prostrated.
In looking for such a spirit. our eyes
naturally rest upon HENRY CLAY,
ofRentacky, man whose transcendent
abilities sare too universally admitted.t to
bequestioned;whose fearlessness&frm-
ness have for years,n great measure,
checked the tide that hurried us on to
ruin; and whose whole political career
