and disbursing the revenues CT the country" Was
there ever, ieowcitizens, allacious conclusion
than this and that, too, after the history of the late
United States Bank and its enormous frauds and mis-
dongs have become familiar 10 every man; Why,
John Tyler, the gsntlemans lavnri,e IN IS40 knows
better aud, indeed our resources-yes, the resources
OF nineteen millions of freemen, must lie dcplo-
rabe, if this fraudulent and corruptng inst tuition
alone be she only safe aud uniform Of collect
ing, keeping aud discussing the revenues of the conn
try. Besides, Mr.. Carter ought TO know, that Mr.
Clay himself in hiss great speech against the Bank in
1911, denied that there was any precedent in such con-
stitut'onal questions He denied, because Bank had
been permitted 10 reuian certain number OF years,
therefore there was right {, establish another Be-
sides, the precedeGts are various. IL Bank put
up in 81, IT was put down in 1871 IT second Bank
was put up IN 1910, II was put down again IN the first
term of Gen. Jackson's Administration. He was re-
elected, Notwithstanding his vetothus showing the
People were with him. MIR. Clay attempted To
blish another-Failed again and again. Mr. Van Blu

Tyler Secondly, Mr.. Carter says 81 am against a Sub
Treasury; and his only seems 10 b., because
he supposes the people are against it. Why, surely
this is species of Jacobinism, could rot expect
from Hull Carter of Shirley. How could the Sub
power thsn an United States Bank, with it's
host of money borrowers, who might be IN Congress-
and leagued in with the Executive, as the Extra
Session leagued in with Clay And as 10 his

" Mr. Carter is in the situation of the Eunuch of
Ethiopia, who asked information from Philip and we
devouty hope, before the ends, he will have
his mud right in this matter by his able competitor
or, to his words, tmy [hs] Democratic adver-
sary." Mr.. c. says he is opposed to the Exchequer
scheme; and in this agree. He opposes it Gas very

Carter says about his opposition direct taxes on the
part Of the General Government, we are not certain
that clearly understand when We take into re view
the contents of his address entire Nor do we compre-
bend his entire meaning, when he says "there are but
two ways OF raising revenue by the general government

poor the o.her direct tax which must be paid by all,
rich and poor. Certainly Mr.. &. is some what Devil

Mr. Carter alarmed at the idea of "Grec trade;
but he says, abolish the Tariff and adopt free trade,
and double or treble taxes will be the result How
can MIR. G. make this appear to any who is not
blind devo,ee of Coonery' Surely, The good people
who have been once represented by II. A. Wise, can.
not be caught by such argument. So bndly does
Mr. Carter stick 10 this Ashland bantling, that he
says, "abolsh the Tariff, and you destroy our home

"By driving oil the manufacturers to agriculture, and
then, instead of being of wheat corn,

asks, "Who then is to buy your producer" Certainly
Mr.. G. will ;ot say that manufacturers fur
nish the best market for wheat corn, and oals
for, if this is his meaning, the facts will not hold him
out; and very certain that the wealthy wheat
farmers on James River most often sell their wheat in
European markets, notwithstanding he "Fo-
