riority over all other machines ever before used, has
been universally admitted, and wherever introduced,
it has met with such uuiveisal favor as to supersede
all other machines in use at the time. It is exten
sively used m the most celebrated mills in the States
of New York, Delaw ire Mar)land, and several c.til

opportunity of seeing u operate ; and there is one 3lso
m Henry S. L mghorne A. Co’s mill at this place,
to which I would invite the attention of mill owners
in this vicinity.—Some of the most prominent qual

power to propel it ; 2nd, that it cleans the wheat
exceedingly well and with great rapidity : and 3flly,
that it is simple in us construction, and very dura

It is now ten years since that illustrious and saga

A very extensive bankruptcy took place through

expressed nl 11 n» solvency of om .Stale I nsi it ill ions,
and a iapul eli mgo took plaee »g nti*t (he Adininis

lamer ul the Adinmistr.ition was furnished with
them, mid the people were told that they were to
havu nothing but •• yellt w boys," and taught to
shout, “huz/.a lor Jackson ; down with the Banks!"
In this waif ue many Bank Presidents, Cashiers,
md Directors, were < ngngrd—ind fmeseeiug that
the storm they were raising would ultimately over
whelm them.
I o fill up the void about to be occasioned by the
withdrawal i l *o much rapii J, applications were
made to the State Legislator --, lor Bank chatter*;_
and m tins State, every patriot who wanted an
office for s»eivices rendered in the Democratic par
ty, was paid in the profits unsmg from Bank char
te rs.
1 he Bank ol the I lilted States, whose charter t x
pired m ld3(i. applied in the winter id ’33- 30 to the
Loco i* ,»co Legml.it uie of Peuti-y Ivaniu, imil sue
cee d- ij m getting a charter from the Stale. The Gi
rard Bank was, I believe, created about the same
.. the Un led .States' Bank ceased ns functions as
an Dotted States'institution, and became ih,.i of a
State.
In August, '31i, (I’cueral J.tck'mn issued his Specie
Circular against leeeivmg any thing but specie fur
public lands, and the Government official com me need
itx lectures on overtrading; doing nil it could, while
credit was extended, to dr-troy n.
in Jh chi nary, '37, the Loco-Koeos of the city of
New V oik, headed by an officer of the Customs, met
in the Park with ihe banneis "down with the mgs,"
"give us gold and silver," Ac , and slier an address
Ir«»in this officer, piocecded and broke open seveinl
(lour stores.
In May, ’37. the Banks of this city suspended spe
cie payments, w Inch w as followed by all the Banks
ol the country, lo July, Gen. Jackson wrote In*
lent r denouncing them as "IrauJulent institutions,"
luigctimg how much char ctei some of Ins friends m
them had lost on his n« count.
Prior to this, Mr. V an Buren had refused to call
| Congress together, denying that there was any ne
cessity lor so doing ; but the moment that the sain
rt s ul the office-lioldci.* were affected, he saw the
necexsity td calling it together, mid laid belme u his
! minus bill lor the protection td the office-holders’
salaries, or liie separation of thu government Irmn
the people.
In May. ’38, the Banks hi this city recommenced
specie payments, which was followed, ahei a short
.time throughout the country, /uni tin it; r-eemed a
prospect ol some (title pr >*p» my to the country.
In the early pan of this year Air. Benton, who has
stifle ted by bank notes, commenced his war-cry of
specie, gold, Ac. Mr. Van Buren, the ituinn ut he
put his lout on the shores of In* native Stale, began
ihe old song ol “irresponsible institutions." The New
hra, and all ol that kidney, recommended that they
should be i uii upon, and a general disli ust was
c.H used.
I Ins month the Banks of Pennsylvania havestop
petl, and no doubt the southern and south-western
Banks will follow : here and at New Lngland we shall
stand firm.
1 now sum up the results: In March, '37, General
Jackson lilt me Presidential chair with the above
declarations; since then the Government lias broke
once and the B mks twice ; and the belter currency
winch we were promised, seems more remote Ilian
ever.
I write '.his in a spirit of seriousness, trusting that
the above plain recital of facts may call back my
country men, who have wandered alter the gvil apml
ol Loco I* ncoism, to the proper path.

TIIK SUB TREASURY BILL.
I. We object to the Bill, because u centres nil
power over tlie currency and monetary concerns o(
the country in the hands ol the President—thus in
creasing to a dangerous extent the ovcishadowing
power of the K X KLTTI VK and removes it from
the Represent;!* ives of the People.
II. We object lo the Bill, because it contemplates
forcing the country to the employment ol a curieri
cy KXCLUSIVKLY M LTA L LIU. as well m the
transactions ol the geimial govt rmiirnt as in the fiscal
operations of thr State, County, City and Town
governments, and in the private business transactions
ol individual citizens.
III. We. object to the Bill, because it will in
ert ase vastly the a!rt^tly enormous expenditures
of the government, in the construction of un
necessary •• rooms, vaults and safes,"-for the
payment of salaries to swarms ol public nth
cers ** lo harrnts our people ami eat out their sub

HANKS. — h is unfurliin.iie lhat whenever embar
rassment* afhrt the financial affairs of the country
the blame ol the disorder should he visited so pointed
ly on the H inks, as though they had produced it.
These lustitulioiis, ill our view of them, are hm iiih
chines for the lietfsr irnnsiunon nfliosmrt*, and Mi
slead ol shaping (lie morse id thing*they aieforthe
most pail subject lo llie influence* of the times, like
other portiuM of the romiMonity. 'To ilnow rr
pioacli upon the Hanks hecmise S| eei« is so scarce,
is a* i e a suit able as it would be In find fault with the
mills lo calise they do not give Iwilli their usual sup
plies ol (lour when the haivrsl is scanty, or when
the waters aie low.
(’no the stale of the weather he changed by wann
ing or moling the bulb ol a thermometer? Hanks
may l»u considered as the thermomeh rs of I he com
mercial ntmoMplieie ; they denote it* stale, lull they
have little power In alter the condition ol ths ele
ments. (‘an the Hank* pay our foreign debt 7 I* it
in their power to pievent the espoliation ol specie 7
Aie diey able lo restrain excessive impoit itiuns, or
to prohibit iiioidmate purchases?
These instil litmus see useful not only to die mer
chant, bin also to tradesmen, aruztiia, and m short
to eveiy m.mi m die community who does htmiics*
«d aoy sort. A eoidwainer, for instance, may believe
that lie is independent of hanks ; dial he asks no fa
vouch and receives no piofii from them, lie hoy*
ins leather nod makes n up into boots and shoes,
which lie Nells his rusfniriers at a profit sufficient In
remunerate him lor In* labour, lie needs no dis
counts—he sees no utility i.i Hanks. Hut let the
tanner speak, ol whom ho purchases Ins leather.
The tsnner will say—*• I sold you leather s' six
months—knowing you to he an iiiduxirmuN and
hone*l Ilian. I was sine that mi mm.Ii nine you
would he able to realize a fair return for your outlay,
and to make a prompt payment. Hut il I had not
b< ( ii enabled by bank discounts to obtain c nIi on
your note, I could not have alloided you a credit —
I could not liavu earned on my business upon a lib
eial scale. Y ur induslty .mil hm.erdv, though well
kinwn, would h >ve been id no avail. An ii is, Imwvv
er, now, with the facilities which the Hank aUoids
me, | can accommodate you—your good chaiaciei
ih a faithful woikmao is your capital , you can diaw
upon it.*'
In like manner d c city purchaser is enabled to
pay the t innerea*h for Iiih wheal, coin, fob >ccn, nr
other produce, which hn could not tint for Hank fa
edities, by which he can realize ready money hi anti
cipation of sales. The merchant can (it out his ship,
.ind draw money upon the value id die cargo be
fore it reaches its place ol destination—and with tin*
m ney lie can pay the wages id the satlots and of the
men whom he employs—all by die aids which Hanks
furnish. The useful class of aritzai s and oilieis
who woi k for wages expect cash for dieir labour ; hoi
mi'll ol large business who make shipments lo dis
tant countries, or w ho carry on extensive manufac
turing operations, cannot look for immediate irttnns.
I low are they to pay cash to their journeymen or
wotkmen ? The Hank* supply the means on the
surety ol values which are a sufficient guaranty for
advance* made, hut which aie not yrt realized by
the trader himself hi cash. Tim* may the labour
ing man perceive that although person ally lie has no
dealings with Hanks in the way ol receiving favours,
yet those who employ him, or who grant him ac
commodations, .ne enabled to do so by means ol
those institutions.
The notion ol doing without Hanks is So prepos
teious that it hardly calls for serious regard.
They are as necessary to business as mnclnneiy
is necessary to the ails-—To attempt doing with
out tin m would be like throwing away tools
because an awkwanl workman liny sometimes
hurt himself in handling them. The waips,
the convenience, the expansive growth of tom
rnerce in modern times have given Until to
.these institutions, The age must go hack nnd re
lapse into its first elements In lore these creatures ol
Us own h rmalion can lo*e their being. It were as
well to expect the oak to slnink again into the acorn
as to look lor tins- Hanking must go on in a glowing
country like tins—i; not by chartered companies, it
must and will be done by individuals. Let the evils
of the system, wherever they an known to exist, be
iepressed — let ihu operations of Hanks be subject to
any wholesome regulations which the sense ol the
ru nmuiuty ami past exprilence shall deem salutary,
but let not their good be sacriflcwd because trims or
excesses somtilines happen.
We repeat that in the present emergencies the
Hank* are partakers in the suffering like individuals.
I h causes of the rev lit-ion did nut originate with
• hem. Il the coutiity will go in debt lo fireigu
nation* by making extravagant put chase?,how i an tilt
Hanks help It f il State* will make heavy loan* if
({Hiring annual payim m* ol intetmt abroad, tho curt
*• queue e* should not bo v i * i e <1 it pm itisliltilioti* th »t
had no hand in l he maler.
I he suspension of specie payments was not *
tiling id choice lo them, but ol nerssstiy ; not the
necessity of insolvency eiiher—hut of the times. Il'
» merc hant of known ability and means is pressed
lor ready money, which, by re.is- n of ihe scarcity of
specie, he cannot obtain at the monism if such le
"•an, with piopciiy ample and murk beyond hie>
•lehta, shotiM ask tin extension of lime, what would

Now lit**easmmbte and unjust would Iki ilscir course

of three foinilis of n* value—and receiving .vt Iasi
less til.m half their ()oes shwtild leave him destitute,
when, by wailing awhile, he would have been abletis
meet Ills engagement* hi the full, pay ing dollar for
dollar io Ins creditor*, and m piesetee his own v#tatw
besides? No one doubts the ability of the Hanks its
meet all their migaM-imm* — N ir can their willing*
ness he questioned ; lot by doing so, their own inter*
cut* would bn promoted inter, sta which are link
