One of the latest devices of the enemy, to bol ster up their rotten -and sinking cause, is an at tempt on their part to create an impression in the community that a portion of the Democratic party are secretly hostile to Governor Porter, and that, as soon as tho Presidential election ,is over, they will break ground openly against hie. rc-nomina tion. Now, what ihe Hard Cider Federalists ex peot to gain by circulating-such stories we ars at a loss to senooive—unless, indeed, tlrey s/e foolish enough to suppose that they can effect a split in the Democratic party, and induce of-the- Governor’s friends to go' oyer to the support ‘of Harrison.

Be cause We believe it is hot required for any purposes of the government, and hot neces sary to.the interests of tlie people, and that Hie course pursued by the late bankjif the United States in renewing its charter-in op position to' the express will of the.-people, has warned us of. the dangerous tendcricy of such an institution. Because we believe it to be inexpedient, as those which have exist ed lamentably failed as great rcgulatorsoi the currency; and lastly, because from its overshadowing power and mammoth influ ence it is dangerous to the liberties and sub versive to the general interests of the great mass of the people. Resolved, That, we hail as the day star of om 1 prosperity the establishment of the In dependent Treasury system,- First, Because it contemplates ah entire separation of banks and the government, and makes the Treasury what the framers of that.instrument intend ed it should be, an Independent Treasury in which the public money should" be kept by ofheers of -the government, responsible-to (he people, and from which;it should not be withdrawn for banking or other.purposes ex cept as "provided by the constitution, in con sequence of appropriations-by law. And this, cannot be considered a measure, of hos tihty towards the banks, as charged by the opposition, for they have no right to claim or demand the use of the public "money as capital to bank on for their own benefit, a privilege not conferred.,by their charters, which they had no right to expect, and which they have never enjoyed but for a few years past,-and to deprive them of this privilege is no more an act of hostility ilian-to withliold the -same favor from any responsible indi vidual who might desire it.- And 2nd, Be cause we believe that while money is deposit ed in banks ,and under their control it will be used for banking purposes, thereby oon t ribu ting to excessive expansions of a paper currency, stimulating commerce, trade,'and speculation at one time, and at another hy sudden arid perhaps necessary 'tontraclion producing revolution in I mines:, embarrass ment and distress, anil the experience of the" past, has most demonstrated lhat. it may not at all times be available to thc gov ernment for those purposes for which it was collected from the people. And further to suppose that the finances of the government cannot be managed with economy and safety without the agency of to reproach our system of government with inability to perform 'one of its most’ essential and impor tant functions without the aid of .a powter unknown to the constitution,and irresponsi ble to the people. Resolved, That we consider it the pecu liar province of the opposition to find/an* but never topropose a remedy, and with re gard to any measure introduced they enquire not will it tend to the public good, butwhcnce did_ it originate? if a whig measure to support it, if democratic to oppose it. Resolved, That we are in favor of a credit system based on capital stimulated by just enterprise, and regulated by the principles of honesty and fair dealing. Resolved, That: ve. have ■ undiminished confidence in the patriotism, integrity and political sagacity of Martin Van Buren, and fully approve of his measure to.divorce the banks from the government, and that the opposition gave proof of a similar sentiment when they placed at his disposal the whole force of the country; with iin appropriation of ten plillioris of dollars.
