WHO ARE RESP0NSIBLEl--Tae
Wings are comp aiming loudly Of the present
depre SEED condluon Ofbusiness 10 nearly every
part Of the country. aud Of the embafass-
ments under which the General Governments
is OOw lAbOring. The friends of Mr., Clay
are anxioas to make ii appear that Mr.. Tyler
ls alone responsible for these evils. The fol.
lowing remarks Of Mr.. Profit in reply TONI.
Fillmore show on whom responsibility should
be made TO res; M
1.-The gentleman and his friends are in
large majority; how comes il that little or
nothing has been done! They have the presi.
ding officer of this house; the control Of every
important committee; officers Of their oWn'se-
lectOn; printer oftheIr own choice; they hold
und,s2uteG command of the legislative power.
They at the extra session could pass a bank bill
appropriating millions Of public money, aud
granting exclusive privileges for twenty years.
Political objects were then to be accomplished
and could act with lightning speed; nov when
the country demands. action they can or will
do onothIng tlfs tH.
They then could pass revenue bill iinpo-
sing taxes 10 The amount of millions, without
the alteration of word and scarcely with de-
cent consideration Now, sir they are pow
erIess for good and indus'rOusly active only
in petty schemes and party policy. They
could then hurriedly pass bankrupt bill bull
for the distribution of the proceeds OF the public
lands, forlficaton and navy bills, &c. The
same members compose this body; the friends
of the administration stood upon the same
ground they now occnpy; and yet the gentle
man says that we obsiruct the public busi-
ness.
The truth is that he and sorhe Of his friends
are determined that nothing shall be done.
They want excitement; il is the element in
which they live and the only difficulty with
them s how they may best conceal their policy.
EXTRACT from letter to the N. Y. HERALD
dated Cincnnaui May 3.
The country is now reapiug the fruit Ofthe
seed that has sown They that SOW to the
wind shall reap the whirlwind,' Is an old fav-
orite aud oft quoted text Of Geueral Harrison.
There has always been party IN this coun-
try that has eontended for banke-hat the
country cannot do without bank paper cred
| il system. Well, they have II now TO their
hearts content; and think if the stock-job
bers and spectators are not ye, satisfied with
the utter rottenness and impollcy Of The sys-
TEN, The country lie. The banking system car
ried with i the seeds Of its own destruction; it
has fallen by its own hand-the funess Of the
times had come, and it sunk uuder its own
weight.
Thomas L. Hamer, and little squad Of
Democrats that had run themselves down, and
have since proved themselves unworthy ofthe
cause and the times, aud country 10 which
they live, met OF a hotel 10 West Union email
village about 25 miles from here, during the
session ofthe Supreme Court, and passed va
rious resolutions Of the real Federal Bank
stamp, having the direct object Of comprom-
ising the glorious measures that were passed
by our last Bank reform legislatures legis
lature that was the very first in the United
States 10 force q resumption OF specie Pay~
menls, and to suppress shin Pasiers. But
these resolutions have every where been met
with universal contempt and Indignation, |
have not heard Of single man, democrat or
otherwise, that has an open eye to look at
things in their true light, and The need Of a
deep and thorough reform IN our country, but
what has spoken Of them with the contempt
they deserve They find no favor among The
honest and upright men Of OHIO.
