aristocracy of this country exists only in
the brain of the demagogue. But to re
turn to the "official organ," the Globe,
which has no small amount of sin in this
respect,. for which be must answer. I
cite the following extracts from my letter . -
to 869 w his disposition to arouse party feel
ing against the merchants, who for intelli
gence,
enterprise, honor, honesty and pa
triotism (nay challengers - comparison with
any body merlin Christendom. - I refer
to the attstsks of thi'Globe upon the mer
chants-of the country; ;denouncing them as.
a body, as being "devoid of patnotistn,-and
regardless of tbehtinor of the nation;" as
"destroyers of credit' by forcing the banks
to stop, by refusing to meet their engage
ments, and by withdrawing their deposites,
(Globe, May 23;) as "colleagues with Bid
die to surrender the funds of the Govern
ment within their. grasp to carry out a for
eign policy, "Globe June 23;) "as pur
chasers of specie at 12 per cent., for paper
never to be redeemed to pay their foreign
debts;'tias men whose "besetting sin has.
ever been a readiness to sacrifice the peat'
interests and general welfare of the. ceun
try and the people at largii, to their tin.
Mediate views of personal profits." The
exertions' of the merchants 'to pay, their
debts abroad in specie was 'charged upon
I them as criminal.. Without stopping to in
quire into the morality of the doctrine, that
it was wrong to pay our foreign debts h
1 specie, when nothing else would be re
ceived4n payment, it is worthy of remark,.
las shot ing the palpable inconsistency' of
the Globe, that, no sooner had the banks'
suspended, the effect of s hick was to re
'tam the specie in their vaults and prevent
its exportation, than the floodgates of its ,
otiose were opened upon them for doing an,
act, effecting the object which the Globe
' nad eo near its hi art. These attacks upon
hour credit system arid upon the merchants,'
were '
continued with um-emitted severity,
lentil a few weeks before the session of Con•
I geese. The reason of their eessaticm is to
be found in the fact, that he was a candi
date fur printer to the house, end he.l
thought it prudent to reein more just andi
discreet. No man who is a republican at
heart will indulge in denunciation of a t
whole class of citizens, and thereby arouse
a spirit of hitternessagainst them. The
arerettants,-as a body, are high minded, pa
-1 triotic, sad useful men. They hold an
important station in the business world.—
Whey are the agents and factors of the far
mer and manufacturer, without whose aid
the products of their industry and skill'
would find no purchasers; and they are, in
fact, the collectors of the revenue of the
country. The three great branches of out
natural industry—agriculture, commerce
and manufactures—are iatirnately - connec t.
led with each other- Destroy any one of
them, and you paralyze the others.
We learn that there are demagogues
even in this place, who are endeavoring
to excite-this feeling among the emplos ed
against the employers. SUCh persnnS,
whoever they are, must beknetres at heart

Economy. —Eco6amy is generally des

ple ungenerous and selfish. This is t-ue
of avarice, but not so of economy. The
man who is economical, is laying up the
permanent power of being generous and
inieful. He who thoughtlessly gives away

kooday" next is The day appointed by the
Governor's Proclamation for the resump.
tine of Specie payments by the Banks of
this Commonwealth. We are bight.
pleased to see that the measures pursued
by the Banks are in accordance with the
wishes of the people, • expressed through
the Proclamation of the Governor. The.
Banks will resume on the day in question,
and we trust will be sustained in the mea.
mire of resumption, by the co-operation of
the Peciple.' The Banks are admitted to
be in 4 sound, healthy .tondition. The
utmost confidence is reposed in their abil- I
sty to meet all demand, by men of informa
tion and intelligence.' Their conduct has
been highly praiseworthy: They have
richly merited this confidence. Their
course has been prudent and upright! They
have nothing to apprehend, heranse the
people hare] nothing to apprehend from
there. We !believe the People are fully
determined to sustain the Banks -in the
measure of Resumption. This can berac
.complisbeil only by countenancing no pan
ics, no illiberal runs. A certain quantity
of specie wilt be required for purpcKnes of
change. This the Banks will furnish.—
Beyond this, their paper is preferable to
retie. "
