THE CURRENCY-THEEX CHEQUER BILL
Neyer since the formation Of our national compact
has our country been in situation as deporable as
nj the present time regards the state OF its monea-
ry affairs The cause must be apparent 10 every re-
dectng mind still are left to,regret that so little eff
fort is making the part Of the Federal Government
TO nut a period to our embarrassment We view on
all sides general arrangement and depreciation OF
the and feel most orciby Its melancholy re-
suits Deep distrust and difficulties, insurmounable
in their nature pervade the business community
the merchant is shackled and has no power to act
while the avenues to speculation or profitable invest,
ment are closed against HIM the industrious ana
working class of the community, while their ef-
forts are parayzed, feel most keenly the burden OF
oppression under which they labor, and the depres-
sion and distress to which they are SUBJECT pupiic
and corporate securities daily the decline, while
confidence in their efficiency Is from day to day
becoming seriously impaired
The credit of the State Governments as well as OF
our countrymen as selfgoverning people is shame
fully dishonored and dcplorabe in the last extreme,
and this too, at time when cloud hangs over our
foreign relations, and circumstances fully within the
reach Of the most limited comprehension, connected
thus as they are with domestic embarrassments,
are likely to become fearful obstacles to our security
and honor as nation. To what causes can these
melancholy results he attributed, but to party feeling,
an unhallowed desire for party achievement and party
speriority? As long this state OF affairs exists,
the imminent difficulties to which the people are sub
iec and under which the country labors, will remain
unmitgated. A desire for party ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
without any matured specific object is well calcu-
lated to enhance and prolong those difficulties, and
render still more pressing the burden under Which
we labor, both individually and as a nation. What
are party objects in comparison with the prosperity
happiness, and still rising dignity of the American
nation. They are ignoble in the last extreme, and
conflict most openly with the interests and wishes OF
the American people.
The Executive is fully alive to the importance Of
the enactment of measure calculated to give re-
lief in the present emergency however much he may
have acted in contradiction to the wishes OF the people
during the earlier period Of his career In message
transmitted to Congress on the 18th ultmo he urges
upon that body the Importance Of such immediate
ton, will be calculated to supply the wants OF the
Government, and sustain its credit, and some hopes
are felt that something will soon be carried into
effect with view of communicating these important
designs.
The people Of the United States looking eagerly
forward to the time if il should arrive, when the
propositions emanatng from the present adminstra-
ton pending before Congress, and recently favor
ably reported on by Committees of the House of Re-
personalities and of the Senate for the establishment
of Government Exchequer shall be carried into ei-
feet Recognizing as it does, the power and duty Of
the Federal Government TO provide sound currency
for the people, il should be object of deep consde
ration with Congress, it most assuredly is with all
who appreciate the Importance of an indspuable cur
rency suited to the present wants and future prospe-
rity and dignity of the country The enactment Of
such measures ale calculated to give us sound,
uniform and equal currency, will strengthen the bonds
Of union, renew the now almost dormant energies of
oppressed and suffering people, and at once restore
country to its former prosperity. Any attempt to
lubservent to party wishes designs should receive
as it deserves, unqualified reprobation.
