shall conclude my fellow-citizens, by brief refer
to the condition of our finances We have come TO
dead stop in the midst of prosperity, after season OF
health without parallel; of crops exuberanty album
dant with gold and silver in the country than at
any former period Every asks, What Is the cause
and no one is prepared to answer nor is it strange it
should be
My own opinion is that the existing trouble has been
caused by importing too many luxures to be paid for by
who in this fast age imagined they worth twice
much they really by the immense foreign debt
contracted to build railroads, buying iron abroad be-
it cheaper and better under low tariff but be-
it could be bought with bonds, credit, without
money; speculation in western lands, &c. &c.
The remedy proposed by the governor is extra
sion of the legislature and legislature too with but
six days of life in it. How this honorable body invest
gate the condition of banks and deliberately mature
legislative remedy in the short space of week sur
passes my comprehension but will wait and see they
may have more light than have upon the subject 1t
would have been, in my opinion, more in consonancc
with the spirit Of institutions to have waited few
days for legislature fresh from the people, but OF that
the governor is the judge and he alone Is responsible
leave it to him and the people, and dismiss the whole
subject with suggestion which hope may be regarded
to wit: that the Legislature will unanimously resolve lst
repeal oil the bank charters granted at the last session
3D. to appoint committee to investigate the condition of
every bank in the with instructions to
port to the next session. and then adjourn die They
do this in day. and retire with an immense en-
largement of their popularity.

system do not bestow passing thought upon the
tariff SO far as their own personal consumption is
concerned. 1t is a matter of small consequence to
them whether they pay duty of five OF MY per
their wines, silks, laces, and broadcioths'
If our home manufacturers are really sincere IN their
desire to check excessive importations, they would
say very little about high or low tariffs, but would
direct their energies to effect such radical change
in our monetary affairs would bring the currency
and the value of real and personal property Of the
country as close possible to specie standard
We will not stop to show that the most serious
financial revulsions experienced in this country
have occurred under high tariffs for we cannot be-
eve at this late day and after the many bitter ex
perences through which the business community
have passed. that any one having the slightest claims
to intelligence be ignorant ofhe principal causes
of those terrible commissions in every channel Of
trade and in nearly every branch of industry to which
the nation is, under existing systems, periodically
subjected 1t is than probable that the sales of
great crops of wheat cotton corn rice, sugar and
tobacco will soon relieve us from all immediate press
ing endorsements, and it is possible that in the
comparative ease and security which must follow
expansions, mutations, and -cheapening but
we cannot look for healthful trade and abiding pros
perity until complete, thorough, and radical
change takes place in the banking institutions Of
the country, and in the relations of our State
governments with those institutions. If the va
rious State and municipal governments, follow
ing the example of the federal government, had
severed all connexion with the banks, and re-
ceived it's dues and paid it's debts in gold and sill
yer coin, their restraining example would not only
have exercised most salutary influence but it would
have been difficult if not impossible, under such
state of affairs to have affected the currency of the
country to any dangerous even mischievous
extent.
Let the country take warning by recollection of
past revusions and by acute of present suf
ferings. In anxiety to get WELL and to get well
speedily, let not resort to quacks and imposors.
The disease which has Frustrated has become
stubborn and chronic from neglect and exposure. A
certain, permanent cure yet be effected, if we
throw away the nostrums of spectators and dema-
gogues, and boldly and steadily apply the knife.

wAsH1NGToN,s OPINION OF PAPER MONEY


The following letter, written by Gen. Washington
than seventy years ago. the paper bank currency
question, will be read just with than ordinary
interest 1t should be read studied and reflected by
every and boy in the Union:
MOUNT VERNON, February 81, 1857.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 30th ult. came duly to
hand To give opinion in cause of 80 much i'm
portance as that which has warmly agtated the two
branches of your legislature and which, from the appeal
that is made likely to create great and perhaps dan
gerous divisions, is rather delicate matter but this
diversity of opinion is subject which has, believe
occupied the minds of most men, and my sentiments
thereon have been fully and decidedly expressed long be-
fore the assembly either of Maryland or this State was
convened do not uple to declare that had voice
in your legislature it would have been given decidedly
against paper emission, upon the general principle Of
its utility representative and the necessity of it
medium. To assign for this opinion would be
unnecessary tedious the ground has been so often
trod that place hardly remains untouched in word
the necessity arising from want of specie is represented
greater than it really is contend that 1t is by the
substance not the shadow of thing that are
to be benefited. The wisdom of man, in my humble
opinion cannot at this time devise plan by which the
credit Of paper money would be long supported conse
queny, depreciation keeps pace with the quantity of
emission and articles for which it exchanged rise in
greater ratio than the sinking value of the money
Wherein them is the farmer, the planter, and artisan
benefited The debtor may be, because, as have OBJ
served he gives the shadow in lieu of the substance and
in proportion to his gain the creditor bodypoc suf
fer Whether it be legal tender not it will as has
been observed very truly leave aternatve-t must
be that or nothing An evil equally great the door it
Immediately opens for speculation by which the least de-
signing and perhaps most valuable part of the commun
ty preyed upon by the knowing and crafty spec
uator But contrary to my intention and declaration
am offering in support of my opinion-reasons
too which, of all Others least pleasing TO the advo
Gates for paper money shall therefore only observe
generally, that many people have suffered by former
emissions that like burnt child who breads the fire,
person will touch it who possibly avoid it, the natu
raj consequence of which will be, that the specie which
remains unsupported will be instantly locked up.
With great esteem and regard, am, dear sir, &C.,
GEO. WASHINGTON.

PREACHING POLITICS.

layman has right to preach politics in the pulpit 1t

SPEECH OF HON. j. CLANCY JONES.

Of the many distinguished statesmen whose elo-
quence and services have shed lustre upon the
democratic party, there are but few who have as
strong hold upon the respect, confidence, and
affections of the people Hon. j. Clancy Jones, of
Pennsylvania His eminent abilities, sound princi-
pies, and practical craftsmanship were never more
advantageously displayed than in his recent speech
at Bloomsbury, Pennsylvania, and we have accord
ngly placed report of the before readers
this morning. The Pennsylvania publishes the
same speech with the following comments
at fresh, bold and manly exposition of principles
and policy which viii within State, and beyond
it. attract attention and command respect. We only
greet that the report is not full and complete What
else may be said upon the subject the public
of the representative of Berks has been of devotion
to principle, and not without distinction 1t is matter
for qualification when those who represent State in
any department of the general government exhibit high
capacity and fidelity and this qualification Is increased
when these qualities united with esmabe and solid
traits of private character not always to be found united
with eminent ability.
