would have been unbounded, and corrupt and
conupiing as this moneyed influence has shown
itself, Is there any reason TO question hat with
such POWER, il might have fastened laws upon
us for the preparation Of lis control over the
destinies Of the nation Happily, the infant
monster Of Mr.. Clay was stamped, IN ITS bif'h,
by the exercise Of that true Republican virtue
which, duly praciised, viii always keep down
the moneyed influence within its proper sphere.
Those who know well the operation OF these
concerns on the other side of The Atlantic, know
that the Bank Of England is the great inslru-
meni in all the Government financial schemes
We have, il is true, noihingto do with them but
to guard against their influence upon ourselves,
for they have always had more or less effect
upon our property and while on this subject II
may not be irelevent 10 make the remark, that
nothing will so efiectually protect us from
its bad influences as avoiding undue ex-
pansion of our currency. A mammoth Bank
on this side, aud the Bank Of England on the
other side, Of the Atlantic each united with
its respective government for political pur-
poses would possess power that might, for
tine at least. destroy the free action Of our Peo-
ple and make US, as il has made English sub
jects, slaves TO the moneyed power. Without
Bank of England, such a national debt as they
now have, in all human probability could never
have been created, and although she might not
have split SO much blood, nor extended her con-
quests 50 far and wide, the happiness of her own
population would have been much greater

am willing they should be so thought, rather
than not have them almost cons an;y before the
people, and never can more befiltng occasion
present itself than now, when the public mind
is in calm and rejecting state upon so impor-
tant matter as the selection Of Chief Ma
course, at present out Of the question but do
not let the people be deceived New schemes
Of the Protean "Mammonn must be looked for
sooner or later in new forms Nay has he not
already shown himself in the shape Of two
hundred million issue Of Stock calculating to
the currency? Iwould lain hope he will be foil
ed in this, for when any measure looks to such
corrupt means for its success, It carries its own
condemnation with II.
Ne have, 10 day, ice of summer in earn
est The weather has been quite warm, though
not uncomfortably so.
| 1t is exceedingly gratifying to witness the
unanimity which prevails to extend 10 the Pre-
sident full share of our hospilalities The
committee have selected the Howard House for
his accommodation during his short stay, and
without disparagemenl 10 the proprietors of our
other splendid hotels, the Messrs Howard are
deserving Of every encomium their hotel is
one Of the largest, and though perhaps not as
much resoIted to by the mo1eyed aristocracy as
the Asror House, ii is generally well filled with
that class of strangers who contribute largely
TO the prosperity Of our city, while it always
makes happy and comfortable its due proper
ton OF ladies' and gentlemen travelling for plea
sure
Any one Of our public hotels would have
been proud 10 do their best, on national occa-
sion like the one in contemplation, but none
would have done it with warmer hearts and
better cheer than the Messrs Howard.
Yours, &c. HOMO.
