AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.
COMMON SENSE.

OF the two parties in Congress who oppose all the
movements of the Executive for the public interest,
have already mentioned the ' ultra Wings, com
manded by Mr.. Clay We will now offer few
words about the ultra Democrats, y beaded by Mr.
Benton. This party is not like the other, stamped
with numerous and excessive Inconsistencies II has
inva Iably contcnded against National Banks, paper
money, high dutts, national debts, and expensive
government. Still It's course has not been perfectly
con.s emit and we cannot exonerarc il from the
charge OF acous opposition TO the Executive, for the
purpose of operating upon the next Presidential cleo
tion. If it be not liable to this charge, why does il
oppose al the nominations of the President aud all the
recommendations to Congress concerning the reve-
nue. the mea of Keeping it aud disbursng it, and
the defence of the country Mr.. Benton contends
against all National Banks, all banking promises,
all institu for issuing substitutes for CON- to cir
culate in common with it, and augment the cIrcuat-
inc medium; and The bitter experience OF the cbun-
try from creating such institutions in abundance,
from carrying such erpdnsire policy TO excess, Is
enough to show the general soundness of his doc
time, though II may not he correct in all its imita
tons But while he thus stienuousy opposes the
system under which the country has suffered much
VIC know not with what Consistency he can oppose
the project offered by the Executive, excepting, per
hops, III some Of its details. The plan of the Pres
dent contempates no banking promises no loans
no issue OF substitute for coin, no paper money no
nuctuatng currency. II is merely bank Of deposit
under which the paper in circulation is always the
erdct real representation of the coin drawn from cir
culaon under which not dollar in paper can see
the light, unless an equal noun of com is locked
up ready be exchanged for the paper the pleasure
of the holder. Even Mr. Benton and his friends viii
admit that paper Is good representation of coin,
long the representation is real and not fictitious
for they will admit that for portability and security
paper better than coin, and fully serves all its pur-
poses. Tie only diilicu ty in paper currency It,
foundation in credit, or promise, and its ability TO
become worthless on the failure of this promise. IL
paper like gold and silver could receive the approba-
ton OF all mankind as measure of value and would
be multiplied faster than they are il would be
good substitute for coin. But as nothing but gold and
silver invested with this arlbue,paper be used
safely only as representative OF coin, aud is safe
rom Iluc,uation in quantity value only when 1t is
the real and moi the fictitious representative. As the
plan ofhe Executive contetnpales this teH rcptcsen-
tatne tins perfect equality between the paper issued

CURRENCY.-No l..

We believe that few practical remarks concerning
the currency, without any reference to, or speaking
for party will be good season
The Wing party, under the watchword of 'Harii-
and Reform came into possession of the reins Of
Government by almost unprecedented majority
One of the questions frequently asked by our speak
during that campaign was, what are your opinions
in regard to United States Bank To this, various
answers were returned by AZ many different speakers
and politicians the general tenor of their answer
was that # large lory of the people in favor
vi Bank, Gen, Harrison would undoubtedly sign a
charter but that this was not of the welghIlest
questions in discussion. The general conviction
among the people, as wcthnk was, and is, that all
they wished was some means ly which merchant
who had an honest real thousand dollars in New Or
leans should have the means ior atrle, tmaklng 1t
available to buy SHOES in Lynn tea IN Sa'cm, pota-
toes in Elslp>rt, and go on. bank could do tins as
well as any other medium, and as bank was favor
lie of the edder$ Of the party bank came TO be con-
sderel the proper thing, though believe without
anything more than quiet acquiescencc on the part
of the people Many of our most solid Wings how
eve apprchended the great distress caused by the an
tics OF the Philadelphia Bank of the United States,
and (though in reality the new bank had nothing to
10 with the old bank, they that part OF the
disgrace and unpopuarlty, the minds of those who
looked at the surface OF things would pertain TO
any bank. They saw, also, that for any bank with
capital drawn from the people, that capital of 10 or
no 600 600 must altogether from the North,
and while created universal distress among ourselves
would givcthc South and West another chance to
trade and speculate New England industry, and
another opportunity Of involving Us in renewed and
increased distress They felt by experience that no
country and State had So sound currency as New
England within her borders, and all they wished
to add to il was some means by which Lynn shoes,
and Salem cordage, &c, should find market at the
South whence the pay could be cheaply transmitted
Besides all this, they voted for Gen. Harrison for
President not knoung that he IN favor OF U nj
ted States Bank and for John Tyler as Vice PresI-
dent tnocing he opposedto bank. People may
say they did not e. the mass of the people did not
think that such contingency would occur We do

THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

Congress have now been in session for nearly four
months. When they met, the Treasury was bank
rupt the credit of the government too low to borrow
dollar, the revenue the mercy Of State banks the
country almost defenceess, and its foreign relations
wearing threatening aspect. We might suppose
that these difficulties were sufficient to command the
earnest, undivided attention Of the executive aud e-
gslave branches of the government that they would
rouse the President and Congress prompt and elf
cient action. But what has been acconlpl shed ?
What act has been passed To remove these difficult
ties Have Congress established any institution for
Collecting keeping and discussing the revenue Have
they provided any means for raising revenue For
paying the debts OF the government For redecming
it from the scandalous imputation of voluntary insol-
vencyl Have they adopted any plan, or made any
provision, for public detence2 Mo- All these grave
subjects are still under debate Four months have
elapsed, and all these subjects are just where Con
