1 JEJblElisoMA2s liKPuBlAUAN, S.U Mr. Caldwell to Mr. Cusliin. Ispwicu, August 4, 1840. Hon. G. Cushing, M. C. Newburyport: Sm When I had the honor of an interview with you the other day, at East Boston, on the measures of the present Administration, you promised to send me several Congressional documents. Will you not forward me some soon? T think tlmi T intimated to you, on that occa sion, that my only regret at leaving the ranks of the Administration party was the necessity of leaving behind me many honest and worthy men, who have not as yet publicly withdrawn their support from Mr. Van Buren. But my hope is, that in due time we shall nevertheless Trmml as heretofore, exerting our common energies in the same direction, for the good of our suffering country. I wish in all kindness 10 cherish great respect for them; but I should he false to every honorable sentiment, to remain in a position where I could not render an hon est and cheerful support to the prominent meas ures of the dominant party. After much reading and reflection, I am fully convinced that the operation of the law to reg ulate the safe-keeping, transferanddisburiement of the public moneys, will be ruinous to the great interests of our common country. Every preceding administration has practically recog nized the obligation of the government, to fur nish and maintain a sound and uniform curren cy, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution. The present one repudiates it. The independent treasury law, and its kindred measures must, in my opinion, prove subversive of the ascendency of the genuine principles of democracy. Their legitimate influence will strongly tend 'to benefit the few at the expense of the many." This administration has avowed ihe doctrine, that the . government must take t are of itself and the people must take of them selves; that the government can do nothing for ihe people for whose benefit it was instituted. vVhen 1 see a government pursuing a disastrous policy so long, regardless of its effects upon the country, when honest men of both parties are convinced of its injurious tendencies, when such is the case, my opinion is that all true democrats should unite to change a government that will not change its policj7. During the whole of General Jackson's ad ministration, he had my hearty and conscien tious support, for 1 regarded him as a capable, efficient and honest patriot. I voted for his suc cessor; but he has not in my opinion 'followed in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor.' He has exhibited more regard for his party than for his country. General Harrison is not in all respects a perfectly satisfactory candidate for me, but, confiding in the numerous testimonials in his favour by men of the first character for intellligence, veracity and patriotism, I shall give him my support. For some time, past, being conscious of no change of principles as a democrat, and being, on account of particular circumstances, under obligations of peculiar gratitude to my demo cratic friends. I have tried to assume a sort of neutral or independent character. This po sition I am constrained to abandon, as being in consistent with the duty every citizen owes his country in a crisis like the present. Have the goodness to send me the documents, that I may circulate them among my political friends. Some there are in this place, who have supported the past and present adminis tration, that now favor the election of Harrison. I have greatly exceeded what I intended, when 1 sat down to write to you for the speech es; which I trust you will excuse, and believe me to be, with great respect and regard, Your ob't servant. JOSIAH CALDWELL. EXTRACT FROM MR. CUSHIN&S REPLY. Newburyport, Aug. 5, 1840. What other ulterior objects this measure may be intended to promote, we can but infer from the nature of what we already know, and from the hints and intimations which occasionally ap pear. Certain it is, that the restrictions of the currency to specie alone, the reduction of the cost of production and the wages of labor to the hard money standard of the poverty strick en people of Europe, and the substitution of di rect taxes by the United States for duties on im ports are schemes so rash, so wild, so vision ary, so disorganizing, so ruinous, that we have no reason to be startled at any other political extravagance in the same quarter. Otherwise, the ideas put fortli recently, by one of the most leading and prominent f supporters of Mr. Van Buren's policy, in our own State of Massachu setts, denouncing the middle classes in the com munity preferring the slave system to that of the employment on a free contract for wages proscribing schoolmasters, ministers of religion, and churches proposing to do away with, not banks only, but heirship of property also and looking to a bloody civil war as the means of accomplishing these improvements m our con dition and institutions but for other extrava gances of ihe Sub-Treasury School, we might, I say, be confounded at these among their avow ed ulterior objects. But a redeeming spirit is abroad among the people. They are grown weary of an admin r'ration, which in the eclflslL-pursuil of power ooks to" its own interest only, and disregards theirs. They have suffered enough already fromiiis misrule, the effects of which they feel n the prostration of industry and enterprise. Thoy gee too much cause to apprehend the burst consequences to the country, from the re-olcction of ftfr. Van .Buren to the Presiden cy. They have turned their c.es towards anoth er man, to be raised to that statipn i trained ivil service of his country, and of hieh civil in ulp experie.npo and capacity, yet pre-eminent also t.l the field a$ the leader of his countrymen in nnpud conflict will hostile hosts; and jdiey look for the restoration of prosperity, and the reform of public abuses, by transferring the reins of power to the patriotic hands of the Farmer He ro of North Bend. I rejoice that you, Sir, having deliberately reflected on those things, have arrived at just conclusions on the subject, and possess the can dor and spirit to avow them, as so many others of the supporters of Gen. Jackson, in all parts of the country, have done and are daily contin uing to do. And I feel confident that the more you study the life, opinions, and character of General Har rison, the more cause will you see to yield him a cordial support. If elected, he will administer the Government on truly republican principles, and with a single eye to the good of the country, instead of being under the temptation, as Mr. Van Buren is, to sacrifice the public interests to the object of securing his own re-election; Gen. Harrison will enter on the Presidency under pledge to serve but one term. His claims to the confidence of the people of the United States do not stand upon old names, old pre judices, or old parties. He is the People's candi date, recommended to us, noi by partisanship to this or that party, but by a long career of patriotic services in peace and war. All who love their country and desire its welfare whether.Federal ists or Democrats of the former times, or Republi cans of a youuger generation, to whom the contro versies of forty years ago are of no concern but as matters of history all can alike bestow conscien tiously their suffrages on him. I know that attempts have been made to claim for Mr. Yan Buren the peculiar confidence of the democracy of the days of Jefferson and Madison. But these attempts, every body knows, are nothing but the trickery of party, which ought not to deceive any thinking man for a moment. If the friends of Jefferson and Madison are to be appealed to, will they choose Martin Tan Buren who opposed the re-election of Mr. Madisonf Or will they not ra ther choose Gen. Harrison, who, placed in those days at the head of the armies of the West, by Mr. Madison himself, was gallantly leading them on to victory and triumph, over Proctor and Tecumseh, and gaining imperishable laurels for his country, and for the administration under which he served! Many additional topics which your communica tion suggests, might be very fitly remarked upon by me here; but this has already reached a length which admonishes me to close it. I have only to add, therefore, that it will give me great pleasure to supply you with all such documents, illustrative of the political questions of the day, as are in my possession, and every other way in my power to aid the inquiries you may desire to make. And I remain, very faithfully and Respectfully yours, C. CUSHING. Josiaii Caldwell, Esq. Tpswich. Another Valuable Convert. The St. Louis Bulletin announces that William B. Lewis, for merly Third Auditor of the Treasury, has re nounced Van Burenism, and is out in favor of "old Tippecanoe.' Mr. Lewis was one of the earliest, warmest and most efficient friends of General Jackson. At one time, indeed, he was the special and favorite confident of old Hicko ry. He was a sincere friend, and adhered to him to the last, but he is an honest man, and could not swallow Van Burenism. General Prosperity. The Newport Herald relates the following conversation between a whig and a Iocofoco:' " What General will the Whigs have next," (inquired a Iocofoco the other day,) "after they elect General Harrison?" "General Prosperi ty," promptly replied a facetious whig, of whom the question was asked. The Iocofoco seemed much pleased with the answer, and thought he could be in favor of such a General without com promising his principles. At Nazareth, Penn. on the 27th Sept.
