The Coon Skin Congress.
Its promises before the last election
for Presiddnt--and its fulfilment of those
promises.
It Would he a rich treat toshow up in
dollars and cents, the economy, retrench
ment and reform that so peculiarly char
acterized theWhie Congress, elected in
1840, and which, thanks alone to the li
mit fixed by the law of the land, expired '
in March 1843. That Congress stands ,
without a parallel in the history of de
liberate bodies—its assembling witness
ed the arrogance ef coon suprernecy ; its
dispersion_ saw the same faction so podr
that none would do it , reverence : its
Pretident - dead, its Vice; President not
headed," and its principles damned!—
it's coons powerless, its cabins deserted,
and the eider evaporated=Ashiand
mourning, and, the spirit of the " knight
of the _virgin heifer" broken ; the Presi
dential bresd turned, to peison upon his
lips, and his high hopes (shivered at the
very'altar of his idolatry.'
Three-Years 'ago, this Awn party on
coming into power found.a debt of only
$4,500,000 and the revenue equal' to
the expenditure. An Extra session was
immediately called, to raise a revenue,
to discharge the debts, .to create - a Bank,
to enact a Bankrupt Law, to distribute
the Public Lands; and topasS a_high pro
tective (oppressive) Tariff. This was
The programme, this was the declaration
for_ the public eye. That Congress dis
solved, returning reluctantly and tremb,:
tingly " the power into the hands of the
people who gave it, and,the-restilts were
a public debt of $25,000,000, 4,44fteit
of $7,000,000 in - the revenue, thi , Bank
rupt law repealed, the Bank and the Ex
chequer projects defeated, and the only
remnant of the high /resolves of a victori
ous faction, is an unequa/proteetive ta
rift--the mountain hat labored, and here
is the - moute—this is the result .of the
heavings of a political volcano.

On'e of the londest er.implaintn of j the
federal party which citric 'into poweriirt
1841, was the deranged state of the
changes of the country. It wan alleged,
and reiterated, that nothing lint , the es
tablishment of. a National Bank irettild
Amble merchants and dealers again to
collect and, transmit their funds at rea- ,
sonable Tates. Ali, attempts at establish
. ing a corporation' to regulate exchanges,
have-proved abortive. A. great number
of banks hive failed, and Miters liave ,
been forced to restriFt their moyetnents ;
thus bringing into practical operation, th;
great principleS embraced in the 'tub
' Treasury law, notwithstanding its noiM
nal repeal. , Those -princiPles now, un
der the.stem behests of the laws of trade.'
have grown:4f° more strict obseriance
'than even when they, Were. 'enforced by
statutory:regulations. '
The receipts of the government, as
far as theygO, are made:mid disbursed
in the constitutional currency, and now
trade, is conducted almost entirely on a
cash basis. The average rafe of ex
change,at New York on Domestic bills
from twelve points in April.lBll,- was
from 5 to 7 per cent ; • it is, now from;
to ..trper ce nt on the same points., ~ .This
has been` effected without the aid of . a
VatiOnal Bank, and is the result of the
natural principles on which the Sub
Treasury law was, based, operating irre.-
, sistably netwithstanding iits legal repeal.
A review of the monetary affairs of
the government for a peried of seven
years, commencing in 1833 and ending
in 1840, - just before the advent of the
27th (whig):Congress, will show the fol
lowing result : ,

-During this period $28,000,000 was
divided among the states, and an: expen
sive war waged against the Indians . , Ac
companied by fan enormous rise in mo
ney prices of, every article of purchase.
Under these circumstances, an amnia'
expense short of $28,000,000 was clamo
red against by the federalists as the height
of extravaganCe and this clamor accom
panied by promises of thorough retreneh
_nen; and reform, was a. powerful agent
in:creating 'a change in the administra
tion. Let us see particularly-bow these
promises haie been performed.
Mr. Walter Forward, the federal !Sec
,
retary of the Treasury summed up the
expenditures for the 2p and tht 27tir Or

The great expenditures_ caused'by the
universal Speculation spirit of 1 1835—'36
had been gradually reduced by Mr. Van
Buren, until in 1840 they had been bro't
within a ecnnpass of $24,000,000, and
requiring an outlay Of $19,000,000 for
1841 only, and of $18,000,000 for '42 ;
amounting together to the sum of $37,-
000,000, i ns the necessary , expenditures
of the years 1841 . and 1842: instead, of
which, nudel: i dle "retrenchment arid
reform" Congress' . the outlays 'reached
the enormous sum of $52,233,884, or
$20,116,925 per annum, being two mil
ions more , than 1840, and seven 'Mil
lions more than' the estimate of the de
partment ! - .
These are the remarkable results ? ' of

,We delight ,--tó trace, in his official
acts, the'course of thegreat Apostle of
Democracy in.
'of s
connection. He
was the author 'of the resolutioes by
the Congreis of the Declaration invit
ing foreigneri to this "asylum of op-,
pressed man," with the promise of lands
&c. He introduced into the Virginia
Legislature the fanious act avowing the
right of expatriation, in term quoted
in our last, which should stand through
all time a noble 'aphorism against 'the
odious pretension to perpetual allegi
ance. " The right," says Professor
Tucker of this law, " has since ex
pressly received the general sanction of
the American people, and has found a
virtual recognition in the Tractice of all
other civilized nations." He ; wrote the
Kentucky Resolutions whose i prophicy
of " revolution and blood" is almost
literally 'fulfilled in a sad history of
blood and riot. He there Says, " That
the friendless alien has indeed been se
lected as the safest subject of a first ex
periment ;
,but the citizen will soon fol
low, or rather has already followed, for
already has a sedition act marked him
as its
_prey; that these' and successive
edit of the same character, uoless arres
ted on the threshold, 'nay tend to drive
these states into revolution and blood ;"
and asks indignantly what is our govern
ment-bnt a tyranny which the President
has accepted . (with the Alien act) " over
the friendly strangers to whom the mild: -
spirit of our country and its law had
pledged hospitality, and protection."--
The repeal of these laws followed, im
mediately, his elevation to the presi
,deney,. as well as the. restoration of the
term of naturalization to , five years
where it remains, from fourteen, where
the distrustfUl counsels that preeeeded
him had fixed it. In his first message
he says,
A denial of Citizenship under a
residence of fourteen years is a denial
to ,a great proportion of those whO ask
it; and controls a policy pursued;-frorn
their first settlement, by many of these
states, and still believed of consetidenee
to their prosperity. And shall we re
fuse the unhappy fugitives from distress
that hospitality which the savages of
the wilderness extended to our fathers
'arriving in this land ? Shall oppressed
humanity find no asylum on this globe?
&c." It is thus 'seen how Jeffereon
cherished the Constitution, as Wash
ington exhorted in one of his addresses
to Congress, " for , the 'sake of those
who, Flom every clime, are daily Back
log a dwelling in our land."- And this
has remained a Cardinal principle of
Democracy, practised and proclaimed,
down to its last convention in ,Baltimore,
to . whose resolutions we' refer the rea
der.
