The other dny wo were nsked by the Washinnton Globe to state "whnt was the agency which the government had in bring lfig about the present disastrous state ihinrrs?" When Qenoral Jackson catne into powor, tho financial condition of the country was extremely prosperous. Thero was neither an excess or deficiency of credit. Exchang cs between dillcrent parts of the country were carried on with great inciiity, and th rewards of industry were sure. Commerce and manufactures, agriculture and tho arts, were all proceeding on a sale and substantia basis. Thero was neither a rag for specu lation, nor a paralysis. When Genera Jackson retired from office, tho whole fac of things was chanced. The finances the country wero in a state of utter confu sion. Ji.xchnn'res could scarcely be neco ciated at any prico. All the necessaries, and even the luxuries of life, were held at exor bitant rates, when at the same time money was commanding two and three per cent a month. The paradox was exhibited ol mon ey being extremely valuable, and almost valueless, at tho same moment. That is, it could be obtained only at extravagent rates, and when obtained, would buy comparative ly nothing. Tho vvholo nation, in short, Was on tho eve of a trnucudus convulsion ,f wo had been involved in a ruinous war, or if any other great and general ca lamily had overspend too country, thero would be some plausibility in ascribing tho convulsion to that, liut no such calamity I l tir- i 1 . j i . ... . i nuu caisicu. itc unu enjoyed a long period of peace. The farmer had not been called from his plough, nor tho mechanic from his work-bench, to dclend the country from in vasion. Our commerce had not been swept irom mo ocean by privateers, nor our indus try in nny respect paralyzed. We had in deed suffered some local misfortunes, such as the great fire in this city, and there hud been u partial failure of the crops. But these causes are altogether inadequate to the effect: and it is worthy of remark that the farmers, who would naturally suffer most irom a lailure of tho crops, have in fact suf fered least. Had the currency been lei alone by the gov ernment, they might then say with reason and truth, that whoever else was tho cause of tho derangement, they were not. But at present they can putin no such pica. They found the currency in a healthy condition; and they left it in the throes of dissolution. It must be very strong evidence indeed, which, in the face of such fads, can con vince the public that ' the government were not the cause of the derangement. Ifun ' II,., , - uuifjync engineer snouia laiie cnarge ot a complicated machine, which had. always -.- i. . j it i i -. J wonjeu wen, ana unaer pretence ol improv ing u, snouia knock out a wheel here am a lever there, and cut a band there, and afte expending upon it-all his skill, and subject ing it to all his whims, should leave it inca- pablo of further action, or moving irregulaily nnd fitfully, would any one hesitate to charge him with being the cause of the mischief? JUstsoitis with the government in refer enco with the currency; only the case strongor. For we not only k now that Gen eral Jackson was for several vears niiemnh ing to remodel the machine, but know what wheels ho knocked out, and what levers h displaced, and what bands he cut. We know, in the first place, that he knocked out the balance wheel, the United States Bank 1 his was tho creat regulator of tho curren cy, and tho medium of affecting exchanges oeiween one part oi the country and anoth er. Both objects it accomplished well; and ciuuciy mme siuisiacuon oi tno parlies con cerned. Ihe merchants throughout the land with a few exceptions, were always in favor of this Institution. They could sec indeed that it was nnt nnrfii-t in nil ita nrta and would have gladly bad its imperfections' corrected ; out tney never dreamed of dis pensing with it. They knew, in fact, that it couia not oe dispensed with, without de ranging the whole system. They knew that its checks were essential to regular ac tion. And what they then knew from the ory.thcy have since learned from the result l or no sooner was it understood that the U. Males Bank would be exlinsuished. than al most all the Stales at the South and West, some oj mem m anticipation and others in consequence oj its extinction, chartered in stilutions of their own, with immense eanit als, to supply the vacuum thus created, or to be created, nnd the same thing was done, to some extent, an over the country. The sum of the matter is, that from January 1834, when tho fate of tho Bank was sealed, to December 183G, the banking capital of the ohucj mcreasea jrom 123,788 10 CW 0,41, 108; BEING NEARLY DOUBLED in ds months 1 1 1 And what is more, the eigni Hundred and twenty-three Banks and Branches comprising this immense capital, were left without any adequate restraint up- v weir issues, ana taus the country was flooded with money. The abundance of mon ey fostered all kinds of speculation and vvcTiraaing; ana thus tho community were enticed into engagements which coufd only be met by a continuance of tho artificial stale of things then existing. General Jackson perceived the mischief wmcn was going on, though ho probably did not understand that he himself was the cause of it. So ho issued the Specie Cir eular in order to check tho rage for specula tion in new lands; and exerted all his in fluence to abolish the circulation of bills un der 85, in order to infuse a greater portion or specie into tho circulation. Both these measures wero precisely fitted to brinrr on iiir pntnirMnhA ... u ; u i ,. wuicii iiqs since loiiowed. Eastern Banks. It was taken from the part ol tho country most exposed to demands to shipment, and carried to parts where it could be of no possible uso in such a contest. We o'ro unitblo to stale the prcciso amount thus carried off to the West, but it wns Inreo. and was taken off at a critical iunc turo. But tho proscription of small bills contributed still more to weaken our Banks than even tho Specie Circular. This, too. we put to tho nccount of the General Gov eminent: for besides mnkintr it aportytesi and inculcating it upon the Slate authorities. the government relused to employ as n de posit Bank any institution which should is suo uiiis unuer me ucnomiiiniiun oi cor Tho amount of snccia taken out of th Banks and kept out, by the proscription of small bills, may bo interred Irom tho met, that of such bills, on the first of Dec em bur 1831, 1 ho Banks in this Stato had in circu lation 83,730,892: tho whole circulation b incr then 810,732,014. As tho whole circa lation on the first of January last, was over 822,000,000, tho propottion of bills under 85, according to the above ratio, would lu over 85.000.000. the placo of which is now (or was,) supplied chiefly with specie. Tho banking capital in this State is 837,1- nnnnnn. I . 1 . TT . .1 CI....... A070 uuu.uuu; unu in 1110 unneu oimus qnxo, 000,000; or ten times the amount in New York. Consequently tno universal pro scription of smull bills would use up 950,- 000.000 of snecie: and probably did in inct absorb, at (he time of the suspension, 835, 000,000 to 840,000,000, or half the specie in Ihe nation. Now had this specie, or even a moiety of it, been in tho Bank vaults on the first of May, thero would have been no suspension. It would have triven confidence to the public in tho ability of the Banks to meet an acmanus in specie, ana mat wouiu have prevented tho tuns. II the views wo hnva taken arc correct, the chief cause of the present revulsion, is to bo found in the "ooency ol the govern ment;" by which we mean, primarily, the administration of General Jackson. Mr Van Buren was then Vice President, and it is to be presumed he was consulted in regard to all theso measures. One of them, the Specie Circular, he had it in his pnuer to repeal when he entered upon the Chief Ma gistracy, WITH THK SANCTION OF DOTH houses of (onohkss, but declined. Both tended greatly to diminish the specie resources of theBnnkson thesea-board.and hereby to compel them, first, o contract heir circulation 40 or 50 per cent, and final y to suspend specie payments.

THOMAS EWING, At Chillicothe, Ohio, June 10, 1837. Thouch the disease which has been brought upon our currency has now be come 30 inveterate that no remedy which will be applied can effect a Cure, vet it may be interesting for a moment to trace the se ral stages by which it has been brought its present degree of virulence. The first blow that was dealt by the executive arm a the great monied institution, was the origin of the evil, though its effects were not at once apparent. The removal of the deposits hai lened nnd aggravated tle crisis, not somuc by weakening tho Bank of tho United States, as by placing an immense amount of public . I. i i i . i. . a . uiuuey in me nanus oi inc executive ana nis subordinate agents. Shortly after the rcmo vai oi tne deposits the amount ol public mon ey aroso to an immense sum, and as it was credit only, it possessed the attribute ofmu upiying useii 10 an inueiinite extent, 'mere was, for example, one million of dollars of the public money in a deposit bank more than would be probably drawn out in the current year for the purpose of government that bank would lend this million for the pur pose of making interest upon it; tho money so loaned would be paid into the land offices r . . i , . , , . . .. or lur customs nnu immediately aepositea it the same bank, to be loaned again and again for the same purpose. Such was the course of things occurring in numerous banks, which the abundance of fictitious canital mu tiplied bevond any former precedent, until speculation, instigated by the fictitious state oi tilings, run out into wild excess. 1 he unparalleled sales of the public lands winch took place last year, amounting tc more than tvventv-threo mil ions of do Mors were tho legitimate fruits of the removal of the deposites. This is no new thought of mine, in my speech on the Land Bill, on the 15th and 10th davs of March. 1830. 1 ad vanced the idea, nnd somewhat at large, do veiopea the mode ol its onerotion: nnd I nri ded that what Ihe government received for their land "is not money, but a cheat," mere irasn ; and that "every thing is tending to a catastrophe similar to that of 1818," I be lieve I had not the date of the Dast commiT. cial catastropho exacilv rirrht. but as lo th - ... j- - yufure.no one will say that I erred very wide jr in wy jiicuiciiun oi us coming. in mo session ol liof.

Wo learn that the dwell ing-house nf Mr John Mclcndy, of Guilford, wos struck by lightning during the shower of the 34th ult. The fluid struck and shattered tho top of the chimney in three several places, melting the lead that was placed around it upon the roof. From thence it appears that tho flu id separated and escaped in two directions. One portion following a rafter, to the kitchen wall, raising the roof and throwing some of the slate by which it was covered to the distance of twenty rods, burst in the wall, glass and plastering of the kitchen, making liio room a jicrfect wreck. The other division of the fluid passed over tho south front of the house; and from thenco down the wall to the front entry, with similar destructive effects. The fnmily, five in number, some sitting in chairs, and some reclining on a bed in the south-east front room escaped, as by a miracle, uninjured. The fluid from the front entry must have escaped through the front room whero the family sat, the doors of which were open. It is perhaps worthy of remark that a mo ment before the shock those of the family who were sitting had drawn up their feet and pla ced them on the rounds of their several chairs, in consequence ol Air Mclcndy having that From d.eSl.Uui,Comi m.....r- highly iMT.n:r,B,H Copy of a leitrr from (lit Ta; I i.LWerciH.U of our national ttow,E"7"C most grievously the repci 7 M h J. i . , tV l,le lratv cfiRi-i Saca-nnd Foxes ceded their ffi'Si mo luississinm in fh it--. . w me un IM c,:,'s known ns the BUek Hawt p 'N r v aim io iurn sh lUA v tain quantity of to mccn .ij?! ty of 1830, cedino W,,h- h stipulations were mn,l trA rrfti has laithfully perform ti.
