Gentlemen, I scc with rcgrct, that sonic of inoso iio nayc uccn with us, been with us nere, neen wun us m thc prescncc of thcsc imagesof grcat mcn, which hanrr around ns. denouncing as wc denounced, the policy of the government of Van Buren's time, uphold-l mg as wc onucavorcu to uphold, thc necessitv of a proper modiura of currencyfor the pco- pic as wcn astne iuovcrnmcnr, anu the ncces sity of a fair tarifT that sbonld protect the in dustry of the laborinrr classcs : I sce with naln -and gricf, that some gentlemen of that class now say that thoy are all 'bygone' .qucstions, 'obsoletc.' The DUrase is not "fit to bc rcvived. In my iudrment that is a rtosition unworthv of thosc men. Hc say that here thc substanti.il issucs are thc same. It is tbis Sub Trcasurv which ive would oppose, tbis tarifTof 184C wlnch we felt as a ciillstono tied around our nccks. as it has provcd itsclf - little clsc : thcsc are the nuestion?. And thosc gentlemen who cboosc to say that thcse qucstions are sunk, ovcrwlicimcil anu forgotten m the prescncc ot the unc jaea, and not a very practical one : such gentlemen mistnkc tha scntiments of thc peoplc of Mass achnsetts. Why let mc again hear tlie fnend of Mr. Polk in his reccnt speecb at Washing ton, a gentlemen, ccrtamly, who nas as mucli rigbt to spcak for his party as any othcr man in the country. He puts the qucstions to be iust as thev were in '40. or rather in '44. He savs that the issuc is betwcen the party tnat upbold this noble Sub Treaury and this glo- nous tanlt ot -4U, ana thosc wno wouiuFacn leinoTislv destrov citbcrom or thc othcr. Then what are wc to bclievo ? " Ilero arc our hrcthrcn who takc lcave of us, and say Ihat everylxxly agrees Ihat tre must havea tarilT but what sort of a tariil ! I hcy might as well say evcir body agrees that we must have a form of (Jovcrnmcnt but what sort of Gov ernment? Every body believcs it frill bc some sort of wcather to-morro w, but what sort of weather? Pair orioul? No, gcotlemen thcsc qucstions arc inhercnt in our dilTerent vicws of nolicy: one of them bclongs to the Whics, bccausc they are Whigs, and the oth cr sidc lo our opponents, bccausc they arc op poncnts to AV'higs ; and so long ns thcrc shall bc Whigs, and opponents lo Whigs upon qucs tions which havc lastcutrom the uaysot wash ington, let mc sav, so long will this tarifl qucs tion be important : i sav again, iWr. Isuchan- an is manly aud fair. Hc does not cro about now, as he did in '44, to tell thc people of l cnnsyivania tnat tncy stiail havc a goou tar- lll and spccilic dulies; he uoes not say that their eandidate is more of a tarifl' man than the Whig eandidate. If hc did not say this iu '44. his fncnds said it. Hc Favs now thc tariil' is a noble inslitution ; and hcspcaksof the prcsent cxistmg tanll as a svstcm that has answcrcd all thc purposcs and sustaincd the busincss ot thc country. 1 am glad to say that thcrc is no more shunning and cheatincr that thc qucstion is put fairly to us in Massachu- sctts, fairly to Pcnnsylvania, fairly to the U- nion, rcspccting the bub J rcasurj" anu the monies of the Government, and betwcen the tariffof '4C andsomcthing like thc tarifTof '42 that is, a protc;tive tanll. Xow gentlemen, I may bo pcrmittcd to sav, beforc going on to oiher things, tiiat Ihis Sub- trcasury, the mvcntion of 3Ir. an Burcn, is still his favoritc. As far asl rcmctnbcr, it has rcceived no rcbuke at the liufl'alo Convcntion; and I belicvc, witli all rcspcct, that ihat BufT alo platform was constructeil of such slight materials, that while it would not bcar a vcrj- heavy trcau, it would sustain llic Jo.vlike loot stcps of Mr. Aran Burcn. And now, centle- incn, what is, in point of fact, the operation of ihis :ul-ticasury system. 1 am qiutc awarc that I spcak herc in prescncc of mcrchants, mannfacturcrs, mcn of business, who undcr- 5tanU it a grcat deal bcttcr tban t a grcat deal bcttcr than 1 do : but I shall statc it as tar as 1 can inform myself of it. Gentlemen, I am not about to argue, either against the Sub-trcasury, or agamst the tariil' ot 40. J,cl thcse mcasurcs pass ; they havc becn Ihc law of thc land now for two ycars, and all mcn of business havc had a tastc of their cffects. All I propose to-night, is to brin" thcm to thc triai, to innuirc iuto their actual operation;, and sec if they havc per- formcd the great good thev promiscd, ol whclher they have avoided thc cvil that was prcdictcd. And instcad of going infogencral principlcs and stalcments, I havc thought it would bc more satisfactory to you, and more indulgent lowanls mysclt, to prcsent to you thc opera tion of this Sub-treasury system in thc grcat Statc of New York ; bccausc wc know that Xcw York is thc grcat ccntrc of thc money markct, as well as thc gicat cmporium of for- cign commcrcc. Anu now 1 havc becn at some pains to asecrlain tlii, and I Vill statc the rcsults as 1 havc Icarncu thcm. 1 statc that thc truth is ihis: whcn moncy is plcntv, the Sub-treasury isonly a ludierous, bungling and annoying thing, forping men of business to movc about bags anu kcgs of spccic, wlien thc business would be just as well dono by thc pasing of bank notes. Whcn moncy is plcn tv, it is only cxpcnsivc, bungling, usclcss, an noying and ridiculous : but thc momcnt that by thc exportation of spccie, or from whatcv- er causc, money bccomcs scarcc, and tlie exi "encic? of the business community bcsin to press, then it is not mcrcly a hannlcss and lu dierous engme ; it becomcs a mcans of torturc and distress, beeauseitsinevitablcclicct, whcn moncy is scarcc, is to makc it scarccr, and and whcn it is (lifficult to bc had, to incrcase that difliculty. Now, I find that on thc 2.)th day of August las, thc commercial banks in thc city of New York had in their vaults S5.800.000 in coin. That was the basis upon which they madc their issucs for theaccommodation of the mcr cantile world. The Sub-treasury had at that timc in tt vaults, in thc samc city, fourtecn lmndrcd thouand dollars : but in thecourscof commercial cvcnts, within onc month that re- lation was grcatly changcd, fofon thc 29th of aeptemucr the banks had but forty-six hun drcd thousand dollars, while the Sub Trcasury- had increascd its amount to twcnty-four uumircd thousand. a hus, in a tcw days more than a month, the banks partcd wilh twclve hundrcd thousand dollars of spccic, and thc Sub Trcasurv obtaincd thc addition.il sum of onc million. This change in thc rclation be twcen the nmqunts of monc- in thcse rrspcc tivc dcpositcs, at once crcated a great scarcity ofmoney, for every body knows that the spc cic or coin in thc banks is thc only salc basis for their circulation : nnd as in this case the banks in one month lost twclve hundred thou sand dollaisof coin, they must, of course, draw in their circuUtion, not mcrcly to rcplace thc twclve hundrcd thousand dollars, but to rc place all that portion of their circulation rcp rescnted by that amount. All mcrcantile prac tical men uderst.md that If a bank looses a ccrtain quantity of specie, it must curtail its discount, not to thc same extent, but to thrce or four timcs that cxtcnt. 1 know that the proportion may bc stated as thrce toonc,but it is more likely to excccd that proportion than to fall short of it. Then this withdrawal of so large a sum as twclve hundred thousand doll ars would natnrallv lead to a curtailmcnt by thcanfc's, and would neccssarily and absolute- ly slop paymcnt of thrce and a halt or lour million dollars within a month. That is onc turn of thc Sub Trcasury scrcw, and how ma ny more such turns will it take to put thc pa tient in pcrfcct tortcre 2 The depression of business in the city of New York. rcsnlting from this curtailment, led,1 1 suppose, to the order of thc Sccrctary of the Treasuiy, by which, by a certain kind of habcascorpus ivrit, he should free from the treaaury cight hundrcd thousand dollars, and in its place, put in con finemcnt a nuantitv of Trcasurv Notrs. I have not cxamincd lhe qucstion, and will not therefere say that thc procccdings arc illogal. But it sccms that this Sccrctary of the Treas- uryfoundthat they were not masters of the machinery, or it was not a machine that any master could work. If this bc so, this very operation led to the ncccssary, curtailmcnt of threc anla half or four millions of dollars, from the commercial opjerations of thc city of New York. Now, this demand of thc Sub Treasm-y could be made in a day, and when raade in ono day, or one weck, it must be answered in one day or one wcek. But then no Banks could make thc curtailment in onc day or one week, or onc month, to such an extent, without bankrupt ing the community what is the conscqucnee of that? Tlie conscqucnee isinevitably to in spire a duc mistrust and apprchcnsion among those who manasc thcse mstitutions : to re- strain thcm from what they would therwise do, for fcar that evcnts should show that they have, if not acted imprudcntly, incurrcd grcat dangcr of ruin. Now tho mcrchants and deal ers of the country, the supcrintendents of Banks, here and cfsewhcrc, kccp an accuratc account of the imports and exports of spccic. thc imports and exports of goods, of thc bal ance of tradc, and can prcparo for it, bccausc a shock of that sort does not comc like light- ning they have somo nrcmoniiion of it. But who can calculatc what will be the policy of the Government. or what. in a narticular dav ! or weck, will be thc amount of imports, if haff a uozcn vesscis arnve in aday whocanlore see it ? Who then can foresec, out of this money now in the vaults of thc Banks, what quantity can bedcmanded in au hour? Thcre fore, so far as I can learn, there is a constant apprchcnsion and fear. Why, as I havc said, re vourselvcs are wit nesscs this day to what is the ronscnuencc nf uiis. j iiuciuauou irom Uay to day in thc moncy marKct ; not irom good to bad, but from bad to worsc. Then, perhaps, down a gain from worsc to not nuitc as bad. but often- cr up still furthcr, to a dc'rrce of scarcity which is quite uncxamnled in the history of mc governmeni oi ims land. Gentlemen, upon this subiect let mc show you how I, with my mcans for information, and my limitcd intcrcoursc with mcn of busi ncss, herc in thc cnpital of 2ew Endand with some degrcc of arquaintancc and intcr- ourse wiui nicn ui uusincss in mc commcr- r.l -n i lal cmponum of the country New York let me show you how far I difler from the grcat authority to which I havc just alludcd Mr. Buclianan. In his spcech four or five days ago, he said, ' Whcrc, sincc thc Almighty firkt placed man upon thc earth, has thcrc bcen any to compare with ours in rapid and substantial improvcmcnt ?' I say nowherc I answer that qucstion m the neg.itivc. 'It has now becomc tho wonder as well as the modcl of the world ;' and I hope it will continuc to bc so. 'Uur prosponty has known no cbb in its swceping course, cxcept from thc expan sions and contractions of our paper currency, and thc individual ruin which this occasioncd. Iror tbcse lemporary rcvulnons wc are indcbt- ed to Whig policr. And cren for them. to a grcat cxtcnt, Democracy h?s found a prcvent ative in thc much abuscd and independcnt trcasury. Jhc Independcnt Ircasun-, then, is a pre- vcntativc against cxpansions and fluctuations in thc country, against the course of things that makcs money easy to-day and Iiafd to morrow.

Now, if the commercial intercst and manufac turing intcrt U sco that, then nobodv has a right to complain ; if thev see that thc Sub 1 reastiry prevcnts lluctuations instcad of pro ducing them; if they sce that this Sub Trcas ury has not protcctcd the intcrcsta of manufac turcs if they see that under the operation of ihis Sub Trcasury and Tarifl" of '4G, the iron niills are all flounshing, tlic woolch mills all going on cvcry wherc.in great prosponty if they sce all that, then Mr.Buchnnanis entirc ly right. Now thcsc rcmarks of Mr. Buchanan I spcak with rcspcct rontain two propositions, One is, that thc Sub Trcasury has, in fact.prc vcnted lluctuations. Now, for onc. I should say that, within my rccollcction, thcrc has ncr cr'bccn so grcat a iluctuation in thc moncy markct afjwe have witncsscd for thc last two ycars. Many of you have mcmories long cn ough to go back and rcvicw, in your own minds, thc transactions of the p.ut fifteen ycars. Did you ever know such great lluctu ations ot thc moncy markct as you have wit ncsscd in the last two ycars, with tho excep tion that its fluctuations were betwcen nrices always high. Ihe ncxt proposition is, that Drotection to manufacturcs isaflbrdcd bt thc Sub Treasnrv . ! So Mr. Buchanan savs ; but I can hardly think it is quite respcctlul to thc intelligencc and : undcrstanding of this community, to hold such j a doctnnc. l should thinlc he supposcd us readv to swallow camcls of anv sizc.

Gentlemen, there is anolhcr consideration connected with this Sub Trcasury: Thrce fourths of all thc importations from Europe arc on foreign account ; our importing meichants know nothins about it. If vou m lo Stntn Strcct in Boston, or WalJ Strcct, in New v i. , i , . v .... York. and ask what Importations arc comin". they tcll you they do not know. It is ascer-1 tained, and I bclievo it is true bcyond question mai inrec-lourths ot our imports tions irom Europe are scnt to this country on forcicn ac count, consigned to commission mcrchants. They arc sold, and their proceeds arc rcmit tcd, and our merchantsknow nomorc of their robable cominir. or their amount. than anv body elsc. Thcrofore there is no knowledsre among us, and can bo no knowlcdge among u? ot jwhat will be the state ot the markct , forjwhcn they arrivc the duties must be paid linmcdiatcly, thus placing it in the powcr of loreign consizncrs ot goous comui'j to this country to dcpress the money markelat plcas urc. Tlicy may trausfcr from the banks into the Sub Treasurj, there lo bo lockcd up, an amount of moncy, rcsponstve to any importa tions they may makc. 1 havc spokcn of the Sub-treasury of New York. I have not inquircd particuiarly into thc state of the banks and thc operation of Ihc Sub-treasurv in this city. I suppose it nroba- ble. that there may bc louror five hundrcd thousand dollars now Iocked up in tho Sub treasury in Boston, say half a million. "Well, now if that were relaincd as thc basis of bank circulation, under thc ordinarv lcrms and con- ditions which makc such a. circulation safc, it vould enable the banks to make an issuc of a milKnn nnil i finlf nf mnnnr lictilp wli.if la now in circulation. "As it is, it answers no uscful purpose in society, but fathcr inspires tcrror and distrust, and for all thc uscs of so ciety it would be just as well that il did not cx- lst at alL I havc said that I supposcd that money has not been known to be dcarer for a long time. I suppose that if wc take lhc quantity loanpd by the banks at the rate of intcrcst to which they are limitcd ; and if wc then takc thc rates known to have becn paid by privato borrow- crs to pnvatc lcnders la$t year, thc rate ol in terest lor tue last twelvc months can hardl lie considcred under ten pcr cent. Now, we have to carry on thc busincss of thc counlry I mean thc mcn ot busincss with monev at this rate, white in England it is ccrtain that it is not riuitc half thal. Thcrcforc a man of business m thc United Statcs, at this momcnt. who has some capital. and at thc same timc. like most men, has occasion somo.times for bank facihtics and to borrow money, pay: twicc as mucli as a man ot tbe samc circuin stanccs and facilitics in England. Every man can scc thc rcsult ot this. I leavc thc Sub-Trcasury, now, and turn to tlic tanll ot 4G. Lcrtamly 1 shall not argue now atrainsl that tann, I shall not argue gainst its apparcnt (Jcfccts and its inconsistcn- ey with cstablishcd principles. On anolhcr occasion and in anolhcr place, I wcnt through that, with vcry little succcss. It is lliclaw of thc land ; it has bccn in operation for two ycars, and let me say that it is a mcasurc new to the history of tbe commorcial world in mod- crn timcs it is a tarifl'of duty allogctherad valorcm, with no spccihcations, with nojust iliscnmination in lavor ot domestic inilustrv and products. If any body can find a tariil' like that, let it bc produccd. Whcn undcr discussio'n in the Senate, we said all wc could against it, and we said some prctty provoking things, but tbcre was not a word uttcrcd m its support.

It it has answcrcd its itscnds? I f it is of tlic charactcr ascribcd to it ? I say, now, that it is a party mcasure. strictly and entirely. I do not know bul the Ilouseof Itcprescntativcs, herc, and there a man straggling from his party voted for it or against it, but in thc body ot whichU havc thc honor to be a mcmbcr it was strictly a party votc. I know that Mr. .larnigan voted ior it but his constituents in Tenncssce instructed hini so to votc , his masters were Dcmocrats hc obcvcd his masters, and his was thcrcforc a Democratic votc. Well, tho Scnate was qually dividcd, and how was it disposcd of ? By the casting vote of thc Vice I'rcsidcnt of the Unilcd Statcs, from the State of Pennsyl vani.i !

To the extent of thc mterest, I understand-tbat the Cod and Mackercl Fish cnes of New England arc as great suffercrs as any other intercst under this tarifT; bccause it has rcduccd the duties upon both, and bc cause there arc certain advantages belonging to the British Colonies, who live nearer the ground ; and thc rcsult is, as it was not former ly, that both the Codfish and Mackcrel arc imported to a grcat extent ; 50,000 bbls. of Mackcrel last year were iinportcd into this State, and 100,0.00 more into thc Unitcd Statcs amounting to nosmalf nggrcgate.

My brelhrcn, if they will allow mc to call thcm so, the fratcniity o'f the line, if thcrc arc any herc from Cape Ann, Duxbury or Plymouth, will understand it a grcat deal bcttcr than I can cxplain it.

Ar.d now go a little furthcr South, to thc interests which it aficcts in the Middle Statcs. and cspccially in thc Slatc of rennslyvania. The great products of Pcnnsylvania arc iron and coal.
