Der in one of the far Southern States, We
may take occasion to say that if the politi-
cal and financial lessons which we have
sought to educe and enforce from the none
tary evils under which the whole country is
uow suffering had elected no ether appro-
wing voice than that OF the intelligent gem
tleman to whom we are indebted for this
favor, we should have been more than re-
paid for the labor which their inculcation
has cost us.
| Our readers will bear US witness that, in
summing up the results Of the past fnan-
cial experiences of the country, and in
pointing out the uses and advantages Of .
national Bank to give uniformity and stabil-
ty to orr currency, we rave not assumed to
ourselves the high prcrogative Of formally
rropasng the adoption Of hat measure by
the Federal Legislature. Satisfied as We
are of It's constitutiouality and policy, We
have yet, in the course Of our long expert
ence and observation, learned too much Of
the power, We may say the desPotism, OF
party prejudice and party catch-Werds, in a
country like ours, to cherish the sanguine
rope that the proved bauefcence Of any
proposition in politics will afford a guaran-
tee of its acceptance when submitted to the
popular ratification, not for trial upon It's
merits, but for its conformity to some po-
litic1l confession of faith.
In all shat We have said, therefore, under
this head, We have sought rather to address
ourselves to the candot and intelligence Of
our countrymen, without reference to parti-
san divisions at the present tiue or parti-
7zau aspirations for the future. Doubtless
il cannot be considered otherwise than un-
fortunate that questions Of pure finance and
Of public economy should be made the me-
tive or occasion of political discussions, de-
handing as they do for their wise adjgdi-
cation and settlement the ,almest consider
arion. with reference not to the exigcncies
Of party, but to the interests and wants Of
the whole country. None, however, save
those who love 'agitation for agitation's
sake will venture to deny that financial
and economical issues are much more desi-
rable elements fer political organization
than those which of late years have entered
into the constitution of our leading parties,
and Which have given sectional complex
con to nearly the whole aspect of our domes-
tic politics. With the inevitable and immi
nent decline Of these latter We might
naturally expect the emorgence of those
which have been so long overlaid by them,
but which, founded as they are upon tbs
permanent interests of the Republic, cannot
fail to re-assert their vitality at every seas
on when, for any cause, the country is
brought to consider its situation in connez-
ion with the political agencies to whose pres
cnce or absence that situation may De re-
ferred
In another part of to-day's luselligencer
the reader will fnd few extracts from the
contemporary press, il which tie probable
evolution of new issues, and of new politi-
cal considerations based upon them, is con-
sidered as amopg the signs of the time thFo'
which we are now passing. To the same
purport is the following communication,
which it was our sole purpose to commend
to the attention of our readers in inditing
these preliminary observations, and Of which
we have only TO say that it presents, in
compact adjustment, and logical arrange
ment, 'platform" Of principles whose
truth and policy will be as enduring as the
Republic they seek to conserve and adorn.
