Such of our subscribers as have Van llurcn neigh bors, or arc thcinicUci Van lluren man, will do wall tu p'c.crit this paper fur their perusal : PouoiiKi-i'.run, June 0, 1837. To the editor of the Argus: Dear Sir 1 hate jus, seen the comments nf the New Votk Kvrning l'ost on the meeting held at I'oiig'ikeepie, in relation to the nine of small bills by tho banks ; and I beg Incurred, through the columns of the Argus, tho errors into which the rost has fallen. It is true, I signer! the no. t " "' I'cinm llie lice employment and intctincnt tico fur such a meeting, and, although I did not ' "'"'"ufc'g'i capital. Whatever danger there may attend il, 1 approved tlirn, as I do now, nf its ob- ' l,c ,u ut! found in tho abuse oflho system, and ject, tshich was very difrcrcnl from that represent, j "nt '" " existence. Guard against these abuse, rd in the l'ost. The object was not to repeal the i oncd them when discovered. An entire a law prohibiting the circulation of small bills, but I kandonincnt of the credit system, and n rolurn to a to suspend its operation during the suspension "f , ,0'e eume mitallic currency, iTtt were prac specia paymanls. I was one of the earliest advo- J ''table, would produce desolation and destruction catea for a prohibition of the small bills, and I be- ' here the measures recommended by the I'nngli. keepsio meeting la the surest tneaua of presort tug I that lavr. Without its suspension during the sun- j pension of tpecio payments, thcro is much danger that the ineonreniencea fell by the whole commu nity for the wsn. ofamall change, will beget a tc- 1 ry strong feeling in lie public mind against the ' law itself, which may be csrried iuto the next leg islature, and cans; a total repeat instead of a sus- pension of it, I may misjudge in this matter, hut ' I know thia tn be the deliberate opinion of many of' hc warmest friends of the onginl passage of that , ct ; and that the mode recommended by the meet-,' ing was deemed the best means lo preserve the ! law, and lo gite full effect to its provisions on the resumplionof specie payment by llio hanks. Al-i ready these inconveniences arc fell, and already in the counlrv Hooded with small bills from the ad-I joining Slates. I cannot appreciate that policy which would increase our circulation by a spurious circulation Irom abroad, instead of giving to tho tf-nmmiinilv tUm liill if nor mtn lianLa. which arr under our own control ; of whoso solvency tte I them justice, whatever they may do to me, lo as have no doubt, and fur the safety of whoso issues c"bc 11 lo llol,C!l patriotic, rather than to sin ample provision in made hv ur own laws.

"f the l'ost is pleased to term the "distribulitin banks, and, at the- same time requiring the people to transact their bosincsa in a currency that not be had, and which they cannot in any way Command. That this is true is ctinccd by l he fsct, that specie is not in circulation for small change, and that the small bills from other states now form th circulating medium in its stead, not withstanding their circulation ia in direct contra senlion ofa penal law of thia slate, whose provis ions have been strictly observed until the suspen sion of specie payments by the banks, but which are now violated from necessity, and not from choice, The editor of the l'ost is pleased to remark, that 1 my apeech, in the Senate of the U. States, about vetr since, on the denoaite act. in which I vrn. ' tured some views in relation lo our credit system, "was duly copied into the Whig papera with great applausa," kc. Seeing those papers but seldom, I was not awarn how extensively it had been cop ted or applauded by them.
