majority. And although the Federalists have
, : employed means, and have, been guilty of frauds
■' V on the elective -frOnchisc. that- arc. disgraceful to
themselves and ohr republican institutions, it cqn
notbe denied that they appcaledjhit too success
fully to the “generous confidence” of the people.
• ’They asked the people to take them on trust, and
with their characteristic generosity they took.them
qttlieir word. They cried “change, change—give
us both change,” nnd'lhe people willed it. They
for onco “descended intothefornm, and took the
‘ people by the band,”'and the people'shook it with'
a hearty grasp. They “stooped to conquer,” and
the people were pleased with the condescension.
They sang Tippecanoe songs, and- the-people
danced. They drank'with ,the' people,'and the
people became drunk. - Strange delusion
infatuation!—-that they should sacrifice their
friends, for those who lint a. moon before were
their open and a vowed-enemies. - But the “sober
second thought” will work, its way. The day of
excitement is past, and now comes tho reaction.'
Every thing finds its level. Elation to,day pro
duces depression to-morrow; And the Federalists
•*HII how find, that; instead, of singing songs, they
- must makiSgrlaws—instead, of crying; “change,”
they must propose the vtensure.

1 It is idle te Say; that at the last election, the

national bank. That issue, was sought to bo made
~ by the. Democrac y, but it was always evaded.—

They stand with a finii and undivided front, whited
in principle and feeling from one end of ifie Union
to the other. Unawcd and undismayed by the
temporary sucoess f of their opponents,, they, feel
their own inherent strength, and know their, ene
my’s inherent weakness, A party thus
and composed of unoh materials', forms a nucleus
around .which will rally the honest yeomanry Of
the country,’until it becomes invincible. And the
Harrison administration, although apparently going
info power under auspicious .cSreumstancesi'will
meet at the outsotwilh a firmer and morodecided
opposition, than any administration ip our govern
ment bps had to'encounter. In-the late contest
the Federalists became thorotlghly identified with
the banking institutions of the country. It was in
fact a controversy between men and mohoy-r-be
tween the peoplCand thebanks. They furnished
the Federalists, the, sinews of War—they were the
lifeblood of that party. In such a controversy tbo
Democracy, have, nothing,to fear. They are not
identified, with the banks. .With regard to them,
they have'every thing to gain, and nothing tA lose,
-And the-Federalists will find, that the next crash
of that system—as crash it must, from its own
weakness and defects,will pull do wn Their loftiest
expectations, and crush their dearest hopes. They
will find, that with the coming of that crisis,
will be the departure of the confidence of the .peo
ple—and that forever.,,. They will leave them, as
they would leave a sinking, the almost
deserted_bark of Federalism,, cut loose from her
moorings, wall bo at the mercy of the winds and
waves of. popular indignation—whilst the few,
who formerly guided that baric in safety, amid the
blackest storm of the elements, will cast about
them in despair for the sheet anchor of their safely.
Wo clip the following from the N. .York Jour
nal of Commerce, (a leading federal paper.) and
recommend it to tho attention of our readers. It
contains truths' which are daily presented to the
public eye; and the boldness yvilh which they are
here set forth is,praiseworthy, coming as it does
from the organ of a .party .whose efforts heretofore
have beoh to resist all attempts of the Democracy
to reform the Banking system: - ' :
The Banks.; : . T
For twenty years past, tho great business of leg
islation in the several States has been the estab
lishment of Banks. . Bank charters have been the
rewards dealt out to political paftizans; and to
procure such charters, has stimulated more lobby
ing and corruption than any other matter. Char
ters. have. often been sold for great sums of money,
byTUaJeg!siato/C^
some cases the scramble for a Bank has upset a
'political party, hitd revolutionized a state. But
the scene is changed. Hardly a State Legislature
in the Union cquld npw : get a thankV for a Bank
charter. No where would the stock of a Bank be
taken up.' Bank stock is not now at a premium,
based on,expected profits, but universally it is be.
low the par of its actual value on the books.—
The Legislatures, all over the South and West are
now as badly puzzled to know what they shall do
with the'Banks they, have 1 made: as they were
formerly to know how they should make them, and
towhomthey should be given. Public sentiment
is in utter confusion concerning them. 1 The Union,
in one of its great designs, the preservation of an'
uniform currency,.is dissolved; and nobody knows
how to put the pieces together again. The wis
dom of the .wise and the understanding of the pru
dent has been exhausted upon'the science of Bank
ing, -and-tho result is an utter failure. The Bank
ing system in our country is in the condition of
monarchy in Europe., Nobody knows how to put
jt down, nor how to hold it up. To Te-oonslruct
it, seems impossible; and if it were possible, the
re-constructed fabric would surely fall again; for
thp way .to build is no better understood now than
it was twenty ..years., ago, _,\Asto what shall be
done, there'is nonunion' of sentiment even aiming
wise men. One say’s, make a Sub Treasury.—
Another says, m»ke a National. Bank. When you
ask what sort of a Bank, there is an instant clamor
of voices, from which the only distinct sound you
.hear is, “make something,” “make something."
A groat many people'nfo getting rethink that all
iho.mukihg has been worse than nothing; that if
the Legislatures had not expended such.occans of
labor in making.and regulating Bapks, they’would
haye-saved all tho labor of,‘managing them, and
making them pay specie; and that if all the labor,
in all stages of the process had been saved, and
the people left to regulate tho currency'to suit
themselves, just as they have every thing else,
there would have been rauch less trouble about tho
business. The coasting trade works well enough.
We have a great system, of internal and external
carrying, and it is in good health and performs its
functions well. If the business had been made
into a “system” under legislative supervision,
would it not have been in a condition like that of
the Banks! In some parts of the country, it is.
true; the local banks am sound and good, and
se'rvcthb public according to agreement. But
every where their, importance is' lessened to the
community and to the stockholders. ; If matters
proceed as they are now proceeding, the system
will ■ soon he gone beyond restoration. It must
thus come to its termination, or by some grand
Stroke ncw.life and energy must be imparted: to it.
-Already-the 1 business of exchangee; both foreign
and domestic, is transacted almost wholly by bro
kers and. qtherprivato individuals and firms.—
Gapital.is gliding into that.mode of use, and there
seenis to ho no particular catastrophe before the
Banksor tire public, even if a still more complete
individual system should bo established, a
The New York Sun,? neutral paper, in review
ing the President's has
remarks, which,are as sound as they are well ,ex
pressed; .' The Sun correctly characterizes, the dis
tribution act, as a great and fatal error, and oneof
the main causes of the itiisohiefs vvhich followed:
: In our financial affairs we have had to encounter
extraordinary difficulties, which .■ have, been aggta-
TOtedbyacombinaUpnof cSufieQsbutwhiohvvould'
hayohecn entirely ayoided,but for one great and
fatal mistake. We allude to, the throwirig away
of the surplus revenue. Sortie called it tho distri
bution law, and- others the .deposits -law;' • It was
neither. It!Waa throwing away nearly thirfy .mil
lions of dollars.- If the government had kept this
amount, of invested it in a proper mannor,it would
have carried us',safcly. through all those embar
rassments which; as every man in-bis senses ought
to havo known, wero sure to followrthat season of
mad speculation. -Bul thero was; a!'general impa
tience to finger the money and divide ittipdmong
the states. -Nobody had the brazen faced assu
ranee to speak out openly, and say give it to the
states.- No; fdr from it; such a measure was cori
sidereditoo monstrous, ilt.wasdobositcd,.and noW,
stands tp the credit of the United States, and prob
ably: will atahd Bo untU dbomßday,, 4 .. !■;,-’
- Uutforthis pices of childish nonsensothb goy-.
emmehi Wuld have been saved the expense of an
extra Session- of! Congressr-the' issue of ■treasury
holos-r-the payment of intCrestan thosonotes—and
tHadißgracefulimpulahOTathoiraandtlmcsrepeati 1
a condition to have, exerted more power in allevia
ting the general cbmmercial.embarrassments. But'
none of these things were thought of; thelnoney
was squandered or -deposited—jest which you
picase-r-and severely lias the country suffered for
it. ; In addition to this have been sundry, defalca
tions of unfaithful officers-.and unsound,banks, to
gether with heavy expenses of a protracted and un
fortunate Indian war., ' *' •'
Notwithstanding all this, the revenue of the gov
ernment has been sufficient to meet all its. expen
ses, with the exception of-about/our millions of
dollars irf treasury notes now outstanding. There
is every Veasoh to believe that these will be all re
doetnedf by proper, management, iii, the course of
a year or two, and that tho government will again
be left withoutti debt of any descHplidxu. Deduct
ing the amount of these treasury jiotes from the
apiount of surplus {cvenuo deposited with the
stales, it still leaves a'balance due the U. Stales
of'over twenty three millions, which amount hon
estly anf truly belongs to the federal government.
The President reviews and defends the financial
policy of his administration in language at once
simple, clear and forcible. This part of his mes
sage of course commands the admiration of his
friends and receives .the denunciation of his foes.-
In one point, however, all honest men must agree,
namely," that there is gteat cause for congratulation
in the fact that through all the perplexing embar
rassments which the government has boencompel
led to encounter, it has yielded to no infraction of
tho laws. In this respect it occupies a proud and
dignified position worthy of a great and free peo
ple, "
‘ The news from Washington city is still unin
teresting, and will continue to .be so for .a week or
two after the. holidays. ! Both" houses adjourned
on Thursday last over till Monday. -
The President is represented as being in excel
lent health and spirits, bearing his defeat with that
calmness and equanimity of temper for which he
is so remarkable. The "President elect, it is ex
pected, will make his appearance attho seat of
government about tho fust of February. Various
speculations, are afloat there, as well as, every
where else, about the new cabinet., rlt'is conceded
on all.hands, however, that Daniel Webster is to
be old Tip’s Secretary of State, and* that Jolm J.
Crittenden, of Kentucky, will bo the; Attorney
General.' Of the. other appointments pothing cer
tain or definite is known.
How suitable for a Prime Minister of the new
regime is Daniel Webster. The man who, during
tljo late war,'refused to vote supplies to the gov
ernment—and who, if we mistake hot, at a more
recent date, upon the occasion' o'f. the difficulties
with France, declared in his place in the Senate,
that he would not vote-forla certain bill then pen-
attituue otdefbricc, the enemy
wore thundering at the gates of the capitoj!”—
What a safe depository of the nation’s honor and
the nation’s interest P Verily, the times must bo
.sadly out of joiiS.Jhdeedv when such a man; the
defender Of the Hartford Convention|sts of New.
England,,,and the leader of the Blue Light Fed
eralists of the East, is the person selected to man
age the Department of State! --'r
a Though Henry Clay is not to gointo the new
cabinet, it is 1 pretty well understood that ho is to
pull the wires—to bo' the “power behind the
throne greater than the tlirone.itself,” . A majority
of his creatures Will be aelccted'fof tbe'cabihot,
and if Webster, between whom arid Clay some
jealousy exists, should, upon any. occasion,'prove
refractory, the majority, at the nod of. Mr. Clay,
will overpower him at once. Mr. Clay will re
main in thp Senate, and be the mouth-piece—the
leader—the factotum of the administration, and ail
his efforts will be directed to securing the succes
sion. A majority of tliccabinct will be his friends,
and moyc at his bidding—and the “god-like”
Daniel Will have to look on and see his own
claims set aside to make room for his groat rival.
This is our. opinion of matters and things, and if
our prediction is not verified in'time, then we' are
no prophet—that’s all.
The , Presidential Vote.—Those who will
look at the number of votes given at the Presiden
tial election in 1836, and at the last election, as
published below, will perceive that the opposition
have no grounds fot extravagant exultation at the
result in 1840. The; had alleged, time and again,
that the measures of the Administration had been
so decidedly objectionable, that but few friends
word left it in the country. And wh'atdo the votes
show? Why, that Mr. a Van Huron obtained in
1836, 703,587 yoles, and at the late election 1,129;-
777, being ah increase of nearly fifty per cent upon
the former vote. This shows that the allegation
of the Federalists, that the people had nearly all
deserted him, was far, very far from the truth.

Preservation of Health;—lt has - , been
remarked, and most truly, that the three
ordinary secrets, of health, are early rising,
exercise, and personal. cleanliness. Per
sonal cleanliness all have in.their power 16;
observe: but to many,'early rising is4ncpn
venient, and exercise, impossible,in conse
quence of the nature..of:their'worldly avo
cations. : To these the use of- Brandreth’s
Vegetable .Universal Pills would prove of
great .value in the preservation of that in
valuable blessing—health.
The peculiar action of these Pills is most
surprising; their operation being more or less
powerful, according to the pureness of the
circulating fluid.’ On a person in.a fair state
of health, who. is only costive, or, slightly
contrary, if tVie compTain the chronic, and
■the constitution be much deranged, the ef
fect generally at first is.most powerful, until
the system be freed from' some of-its most
vitiated - ahd iturgid-humorsT This’ accom
plished, doses sufficient to accomplish ,two
or three copious.evacuations, daily, will soon
remOve the disease, and the constitution will
be restored to a state of health and renewed
vigor. v ' -
