..1 William Lloyd Garrison is, and has al
ways been, the true editor of the American
Abolitionists.
The above is from FoRNEy's Philadelphia
Pn's. 1t is an important admission, here
tofore denied. This "true leader" past and
present, of the american Abolitionists, u
has printed a paper in Boston for thirty
years, called the Lf5srator. The motto of
that paper during all that time was these
words, printed conspicuously at the head of
its columns:
''The American Union: a league soith he'll
snd covenant scih deathn
* He was an open and avowed Disuniopist.
Yet, we are told by JOHN W. FoRNEY that
he Is and always has been the true leader OF
theAmerican Abolitionists!

; IHRsoY from JAMES GALLATIN.-Mr. Gala

Secretary Of the Treasury. Mr.. Gallatln j

of the Rebel currency he holds up as
warning to Mr.. Chase, who is following IL
ir,aI Ret, II paper tracks The whole paper iegs
a"'t ender system Mr.. Gallatin denounces il
y very ,forcibie logic.
The war which Mr.. Chase makes upon
the State Banks, that lifted his fnaces GU
of the gutter, when the war was coming, l.
declared to be ungrateful, unjust and cruel
The State Banks be shows to have been thu
best and most efficient friends Of the Urea
~ 'ury, and the friends Mr.. Chase is now try
ing to destroy. The discrimination no"
proposed against these old friends OF the
. Government, he declares to be uncalled for
and wanton.
Mr.. Gallatin also adds his name and 6nan-
cial reputation to general impression Of
acmonied men, that under good Treasury man
agsment the State Banks would never have
suspended. As if purposely, it would seem
3 Mr. Chase deprived the Banks, at the start
- of $l70, 200, 900 of their coin. Mr. GallatiD
- thinks all energies should be directed to On
so early resumption of specie payments. Mr.
~ g. also shows that the dve-twenties JUS,
''-1' sold really bring the Government only sixty
six in coin. The pamphlet concludes with
- extracts from the writings of George
Washington on paper money. That great
patriot, it seems. even during the revolu
- ton of 1776 would not take it for old debts
-oy contracted to be paid for in good-that Is,
yG gold-money.
when it is remembered that Mr. Gallatin
was among the earliest friends of Mr.. Lin
coins election to the Presidency, and has
efficiently contributed to raising m oney for
| the Government, through his influence in
and upon the New York Banks, such views
as his ougha o have great weight in re-
straining the Administration from the wild
