banks are put down, then the solvent banks
can and will give relief to the community.
Commenting upon 'fhe gloomy pros
poets Of the markets" he says: Ia r
So soon as the banks are coerced to be
honest, to resume specie payments. or to
wind up, then and not till then will the
pressure upon the money market cease.
Then the solvent banks will be able in
safety to accommodate the public; then will
confidence be restored and the present
pressure will pass away, and in one year
health and vigor will be res stored to the
country again. When confidence is re-
stored. which will be as soon as these banks
pay specie or the real representatives of
specie, millions of specie boarded up will
be put into circulation, which will at once
give life and vigor to the business of the
| country and give fair and steady price to
the products of the agriculturalist. The
people are now resolved to put the paper
system down, that has destroyed the morals
as well as the prosperity Of our country,
| and to have an undertaking metallic cur
rencv, or it's equivalei t, which will restore
prosperity to our country and put down
that rage for speculation and overtrading
| which the paper credit system has pro-
duced, and which has had such ruinous
effect upon our country.
April %, lS42.-Although there is great
y y
it will soon pass away with the return of
al undertaking specie currency or it's
| fair representative l hope the people will
elect representatives hereafter who will
| regulate banking, SO that such catas-
trophe from insQlvence of paper banks will
never visit our country again. l am sure
the eyes of the people must be now open
to the wicked rule of Whiggery and the
great curse of their paper credit system,
with all its corruption, frauds upon the
producing and other classes, must be put
down. Then, and not till then, will prop
erty be restored to our country again. The
triumph of Democracy over Whiggery and
federalism.
December 1Si2-The Democracy lie tr-
umphapt throughout the Union, and our
State is fast repudiating coonery, federal
ism and modern hard cider Whiggery.
Even old Massachusetts has been cong uered
by Democracy. We hope to see Demo-
cratic national majority and the noble State
and brave Louisianians freed from the
bondage of federalism, oOoneries and hard
cider humbuggeries, and of high protective
tariffs and tariffs for revenue alone, with
the incidental protection that tariff for
revenue will give substituted in its stead.
February 3. ls43, he congratulated
Louisiana upon the victory which the
Democracy had gained over federalism
and Whiggery.
There can be no one more gratified
in this event than myself. The amend
ment of the constitution and extend.
ing the right of suffrage to all freemen over
the age of twenty one, will put down for.
ever the tyrannical rule of the aristOcracy
of New Orleans, aided, as it has been, by
the money power of England and the banks.
l again congratulate you and the Demo
cracy of Louisiana, and the whole United
States, on this happy result.
We make no apology for the length of
these extracts They were written in the
last years Of Jackson's life. They are full
on the great questions of currency, tariff,
national rights and even upon the right
of suffrage extended to freemen. He is
dead, or the little leaders who now con-
troll the party which he created would
never dare to desecrate his memory by
sacrificing his principles. How Mr.. Will
liam Allen and those who sustain him can
see anything Jacksonian in the repudia-
ton of all that jackson ever taught we
can not understand. These utterances
from the tomb bid them beware. The
apparition of Andrew jackson will rise
before tine couch of his faithless follower,
and like the ghost of Caesar tell him,
Thou shalt see me at Philippi," and that
will be the Ohio election.
