Mr.. VOORHEES, publishes a letter 10 the

he ask US, and some other papers. to re-
pnplish as an advertisement. We give
him more than he asks by publishing it
this morning on the FIRST page. as ordinary
reading matter. and charging him nothing
for it. We don't take pay Of men for al

this morning. to notice his letter at length,
but we may suggest that when he learns
that the soldiers care too little for him

Aivice to Young Men.

A lady who signs herself "A Martyr to

suggestions to young men:
Dear gentlemen between the ages of

Say you come at eight o'clock. an hour

Banks and banking institutions are
the poor mans curse. Every agency
which enables one class of people to
live without labor, to live without
producing a dollar, and taxes at the
same time another class for the sup.
port OF those drones, is an evil Of the

In 1776 our fathers created a mighty
moneyod monster which was to pay
the Revolutionary war debt. as the
present Treasury issues are expected
to liquidate the present war claims.
There was then, as there is now, a
petty despotism ruling at the Admin
istraion headquarters. Laws were

"whoever should refuse to receive in
payment Continental money, should
Je declared an enemy to his country ;
should be treated as such, and ban
lshed, or outlawed the severest pen
atty known to our laws" This des.
potism continued in force for five
years. 1t showed itselfin tender acts,
in Limitation OF prices, in awful and
threatening declarations, in penal
laws, with terrible punishments, and
in every other way that could be de-
vised, and all executed with a ruth
less severity. Committees Of inspec
