whatsis called ' backing our friends,' deliver us

his course in this matter, for he has taken tho
rough democratic ground, and we have confidence
to believe our friends will support his position.

No, no, people of Monroe that Executive is unfit
even to be a democrat's slave, much less a demo

or led by artful and factious men. His station is
a responsible one ; and he Is bound, most solemnly,
to watch over the interests of the State, and to re
commend such measures to the assembled repre
sentees of the people for their consideration, as

ie has done, and for doing this he is vilified by
Shose who ought to be his friends, if actuated by

THE. LOAN.
etyesterday stated that the loan of $870,-
OOOlhad been taken, as follows :
United States Bank, $670,000
Bank of Pennsylvania, 100,000
Girard Bank, " 100,000
The circumstances connected with this mat
ter are extraordinary and mysterious. The
loan was authorized on tho 23d of Januarv.
Letters were addressed to the banks to know
if they could take it. Excepting the baqk of
Pennsylvania, thev replied in the negative
jthis bankf.declared her willingness Jo take $100-
000. fHojbthcrs said that to advance any mo
ney to the State would involve injustice to their
private customers. So the matter rested till
thd 30th of January, when a committee from
tlie Giraijl and United States Banks arrived in
lajnsburg to confexwwith the Governor. Thev
tnld him the loan coulB not be taken, unless tho
policy of the administration was changed, and
that the public credit must suffer.

message to the Legislature, which may he clas

THE PUBLIC L.VNUK
Pennsylvania, burthened afeupV in with a
heavy debt, and finding great trouble tojpay thd
interest alone, is begmtiinj -'to turn har eyo
to tho public landskuherftfoe? source i'ro.t
which to derive the means of liquidating the debt,
and thus preserving our people from an over
whelming loadof taxation, which muat inevi
tably be imposed upon them, if they are plun
dered this imaluable legtfcy of their fathers hy
thn recklessness, intriguing, and bargaining,
and parly spirit of the day. There is one con
sideration that bears with peculiar force on the
public land question, hich is this. The States
of New York and Pennsylvania have each gono
to an enormous ejepense in works of intermit
improvement, and those improvements increas
ed to an incalculable extent the tvahie of the.,
very lands which the administration 'ifeem de
termined to cede to the states in which they lie,
without any equivalent worth mentioning, ex
cept their votes to aid in re-electihg Mr. Van
Buren. Let this measure be consummated,

and wnat win be tlie result, we snail see

their whole entire population in the best mui
ner, without the imposition of one single cent
of tax on their people. And what will be tho
position of the " old thirteen " at the same time

wretchedness beggar description ; and as they ap
proached I distinctly saw On the banner under
which they marched, in large letters, Intemper
ance ! The reception of Bachus at Court, was
of a most flattering character ; and from the greet
ing of his sovreign, it would appear he was not a
whit inferior to the Devil himself. A dialogue en
sued, and Bachus related many things I thought to
recollect, but they vanished with the light. He
told the number of his train, the particular number
from each country ; but none of those I recollect
distinctly except the United States, which he put
down at 55,000. He said his prospects for the cn
suing campaign was about as fair as ever that
Temperance Societies had done but very little in
jury, as his friend Discord arranged all that, and
set the ' Old School Temperance me repairing al
the injury the Neic-School Societies were likely to
do him. He said rum sellers and all his Majesty's
particular friends were unanimous in their support
of the ' Old School' Temperance Societies, and
thitthey had succeeded in breaking up several
Tetotal Societies, and in some places, that priests
bad united with them in opposing the ' fanatics
' But' said he, ! a dreadful onset has been made
upon me at a point I least expdeted. Treland has
aimed a deadly blow at me, and is likely to give
me much trouble as there are very few Old School
Temperance men there, to aid tlie rum sellers in
supporting my cause against the innovations of
Tetotalism.' ' Well,' His Majesty roplied, ' I be
stow on you my highest commendation for thy
energy and zeal. Sit with me on mine own throne,
whilst I bJd all my hosts do you homage, and en
joy the triumphs of thy campaign. I will order
Discord to give you her undivided support, and if
one of those disturbers of the public "peace and
business of my friends and followers, I mean Tc
total lecturers, interferes and opposes your march,
unless he be as spotless as a lamb, Fame, the sis
ter of Discordj shall trumpet his defects through
the length and breadth of tho land. If hd chews
or smokes tobacco, make the fact known. Let
' Physician heal thyself be sounded in his ear, and
if she can't get him on his beams end there, by
making the people think the use of tobacco is e
ven more deleterious in its effects" than rum or
wine drinking, arid thereby destroy the effect which
his lectures might otherwise have, had not this
been made known, then she must denounce him
as an ultraist and fanatic. Let her turn Tetotal
ism to ridicule declare old women shall no long
er be allowed to drink tea, the girls cat sugar
plums, romp with the boys, lace tight, or curl their
hair, and men be prohibited from kissing their
wires except on holidays, and if this don't raise
a clamor about the ears of our enemies, then I'm
no devil,' and the old fellow shook his tail as he
concluded, with a force that rock'd his kingdom to
its centre. Then rose a hideous yell of approba
tion most terrific and loud, and louder yet than
originated. The very fact, that so many of these
birds called " Leg Treasurers," have sought
the land of Aristocrats, show that they are not
money to be hindered ? How are such delafca-
tions to be arrested ? Make it felony, and will
that prevent it? Make it death, and how much
do you suppose a leg treasurer would care ?
Nothing at all. He makes sure his escape, and
if he villain enough to fob his counjy, he is
cunriini and swift enough to evade the vigilance
of the laws ho breaks. With the facilities they
have for escape, they will prove the old adage
true, "that opportunity makes a thief;" and
whenever ihey can " Swartwout" with a mil
lion, or even less, the Great Western will ne
ver want for passengers. Well, when it is
found, that trusting the " ready" in the hands
of subs, is unsafe, then the grand object which
the scheme contemplates, must be carried into
execution: that follows as a natural consequence.
The question arises how are elopements arid
defalcations to be prevented 1 Well, here you
have the answer. Look at the policy of every
little petty Hessian Prince, of whom the British
hired men to assist in enslaving us look at the
history of every Aristocracy and Despotism of
which we have any account, and there read the
answer. 'Pis merely to make tho lap of the
President the repository of the public moneys
That policy saved the treasury of the Roman
Commonwealth for a while from being plunder
ed by the public robbers that sought its contents ;
but your sub-treasury" policy, is not the only
thing that can save the funds of this country
from pillage. I hat act sealed the liberties of
that Republic, and the same feat seals those of
these United States. We may exist a Repub
lican in name, but to all intents and purposes,
we arc under a despotism of the vilest grade,
and our "democracy is bnt as ' a sounding brass
and tinkling symbol.; Martin van Buren can
then nominate his successor, arid with a horde
of fiscal agents, and the funds of the Republic
at his control, his election is rendered certain
to mathematical demonstration, and the highest
office in the gift of a free people virtually be
come hereditary. Does any doubt the lact i
L ask candidly, how can any thing else be the
result ? Defalcations and elopements will suc
ceed each ojthcr, till there is no other alterna
tive but to put the purse and sword in the Pre
sident's entire control. " Cneus Carbo was
plundered of the public money by his own trea
surer, and a province robbed, a Consul stripped
und betrayed," and so would be every President,
till Nero like, ho grappled the purse in his own
fist. Does any one believe that there is the least
particle of honesty among a band of office hun
ters, rife for piunde, and whose very bread de
pends on what part of the loaves and fishes they
can snatch from the hungry jaws of the com
petitor? Yet history may answer you by say
ing that one leg treaSureafljtedtCoIIowed another
out of the country as fiMjjHfcam and sails
could waft him, and proves clearly that
there are few whose patriotism is to be trusted
among the party, who have inscribed upon their
banner, " to the victor belongs the spoils."

i.nurues, as oaious as mat winch disgraced the
the courts of Charles the Second, or Louis the Fif

most reprehensible of all aristocracies ; since nei
ther honor, nor distinguished services, nor talcnH
are requisite for admission to its privileges but on
ly a base sort of seeming democracy, and a most
brazen impudence in the profession of patriotism.

olution oi public sentiment is already begun, which
will sweep in its progress tho unworthy from the

We deduce from these facts
conclusions :
1. That no serious effort will he made
TO AXXUL THE CHARTER OF THE U. S. BANK.
2. That no coercive measures in reference
to a resumption of specie payments will be a
doptcd, with or without the concurrence of the
Governor.
The first of these no one will dispute. It
would be inconsistent with the iisual precaiition
of ordinary business men, to take a loan under
different circumstances ; and certainly bank
shrewdness would not be caught In an attitude
so questionable.
Ihe second is plairly indicated by the fact
of the Girard and United States Banks taking
part of tho loan. They would not throw out
$770,000 of their paper if there was any danger
of its early return to their counters for specie.
I hese are uuierent irom opinions expressed the
Other day. We hope our readers willMar in
mind that tho entire policy of the administra
tion has been changed since then. The Go
vernor has come out distinctly in favor of a le
nient policy towards the banks, and another
loan has been taken from the U. States Bank,
and in the" great excitement of ' sn$tai?iinr the
public faillC by creating more permanent debt,
the repeal bill ol Mr. Brown lias been over
looked, and like a poor relation at a wedding,
suffered to rest in an obscure, corner.
The whole policy of the party in power to
wards the banks, has been changed. The ad
ministration has become guardian of these in
stitutions, which were but a little while ago so
heartily -denounced, Well wo are satisfied
This is only another proof of tho correctness of
the course pursued by our party. Even our
enemies do homage to our principles, by imita
ting our practices.
Of all tho acts of party folly, however, the
course of the Van Buren party towards the U.
