A DISREGARDED VOICE.
The Jaeksonians, who still deny that the Hero
and his Experiments had any thing TO d, with the
presen, state Of the currency, certainly rather
oblvious historians: Of elder facts, they know no .
thing, and can remember not even what has hap
pered to themselves. Now, we beg leave to recall
TO them the following memorable warning, given
them in the very mds, of their Money Reforms, the
ye,r after the Removal OF the Dsposiies. Never
was prophecy more solemn, more clear, or more
precisely met by the event. Look listen COM
pare,
In 1885, while the country was apparently in
state Ct extraordinary prosperity, Henry Clay
use the following language in public speech;
"Therc being no longer any sentinel at the head
of our banking establishments TO warh them by It's
information and operations OF approaching danger,
the local institutions, already multiplied TO an n
farming extent and almos; daily multiplying in sea-
OF prosperity, will make tree and unrtsiraned
emissions All the channels Of circulation will be
gorged Property will rise ex rayaganily high,
and cons anily looking up, the temptation to par
chase will be irresistible! inordinate speculation
will ensue debts will be freely contracted, and when
the season OF adversely comes, come it must, the
banks acting without concert ard without guide,
obeyins the law OF sef.preservation, will all at
same time call in their issues the vas, number will
exaggerate the alarm, and general distress, wide
spread ruin, and an explosion of the general bank
ing system, or the establishment OF a new bank Of
the United States, will be the ultimate effects"
Never was political or commercial prediction
more signally or more sadly accomplished! No
thing is wanted to complete its fuihlmen,, except
that last measure, the Bank; to which sincere and
prudent opponents have been more largely recon-
ced by these very ae;, and their consequences,
than by all other arguments whatever: SO that
Bank we should already have had, but tina, the
political partly of fresh jizsler stepped in, 10
