For the Spirit Of Democracy.


Mr.. EpiroR.-In looking occasionally over the
files of the National h,teligracer, have observ-
ed some frightful pictures Of the financial difficult
ties Of our National Government during the war
of 1912. II would be waste of time to comment
on the patriotism, which takes pains to herald our
pecuniary weakness and inefiiciency to the world,
while strong probabilities exist OF coming con-
test with pdwer Of acknowledged pecuniay abil-
ity Such Is not the object of addressing you this
brief note Butwhat is the fact? III briefly this
During the pressure Of the late war the evidences,
of OUR national debt sometimes sold at small dis
count and as the banks had suspended specie pay
meuts. the government as well as individuals some
times had to pay discount on their paper Dur
ing the war with France, which terminated the
peace OF Amiens, the evidences Of the BRITISH
national debt sometimes sold at discount OF fifty
per cent. Whoever subscribed one thousand
pounds stock in the Govergment loans got GER
ticate for ttoo thousand, thus doubling his capital
at single operation. Whoever wishes to make
himself acquainted with the comparative credit and
tecuniary resources Of nations must read history
Oee reflection seems inevitable. We all now see
ami feel the importance Of NATIONAL credit Moth
Tngcan be more painful to true patriotism or cor
leclnational spirit. than to be told that we owe
be afety Of our Atlantic cities to the forbearance
ia naughty rival But whatever impairs or tar
hes state credit, 10 some degree, impars and tar
Hhes national credit Great Britain, has at this
-Bment no allies or subjects on this continent SO
veful to her as the regulators. They deserve to
b Kissed out Of society II that foul monster cal
Ia uepudiaton rad never reared its gorgon head on
Ihe continent, we might now laugh the unjust pre-
LEMONS Of Great Britain to scorn, in the perfect
conIciousness Of matchlsss strength Again our
feelings now, when this delicate subject of nation
al rkources and national credits broached, ought
10 iIstruct US to put an inexorable negative upon
thai vast system Of fraud and swinding, which un-
derthe specious name ofinternal Improvements,
haj wasted the resources and impaired the energies
ofour people. In many Of the States, and subject
"a them to an intolerable burthen of taxation.
When the substance Of the people Is taken by the
government and employed to enrich host of cor
morant spectators they must be worse prepared
to meet great national exigencies.
Most Respectfully sc.
