tho consequence of disehedience. It was death, political death. Tho blood hounds of party would have been let loose upon them if they had failed to obey; and they would have been hunted down like wild beasts. The fang• of Blair would have been whet sharp for vengeance, and he would have fleshed dictum the reputation of the oflinad. ere. Is it strange, then, that weak and timid men should have been compelled to do what their consciences disapproved? Tho Administration, whose policy compelled them to the courso which they pursued is to blame, and should be held responsible. I might, sir, have gone on to show the condurt of the majot ity, eller all their pro. fessions of economy, in paying for the print ing of this House ten per cent. more than others had offeted to do it for. But I for bear. A mere glance at the expenditures for the last three years being enough to con vict the party of the grossest wastefulness and prodigality.] Mr. Chairman, having been interrupted in the current of my remarks, by the con struction given to the rules, I will abandon the course of argument I intended to pursue, and-proceed to review, as briefly as possible, the experiments of the Government upon the currency and safe keeping of the public funds. In doing this, I will endeavor to show—and it will be my own fault if I do not succeed—that these experiments aro the fruitful parent of thu whole family of misfor tunes which have afflicted the country for, the last few years. I will show that the derangement of the currency is the result of these experiments; that they have produ ced improvident legislation in the States; that our immense foreign debt, and the ens barrassments and distress which pervade the country are attributable to them. When I have done this, I will attempt to show that this measure—the Sub-Treasury-can be productive, of nothing but mischief, present and prospective; that its effect will be to reduce the value of property; the wages of labor; the products of the farmer; and that it will he destructive to the indebted portion of the community; and, finally, that by plac ing the Treasury of the nation in the hands of the President, the liberties of the country will be endangered. Mr. Chairman, let us recur to the period when theee experiments were put into prac tical operation. What was the condition of the country at that time? Had it a sound currency? Was it prosperous? In 1833, when the Government commen ced its warfare upon the Bank of the United States, this country enjoyed the benefits of a currency equal to that of any nation upon earth. The notes of this institution were equal to gold and silver throughout the length and breadth of this vast country; and the notes of the State banks, within the sphere of their circulation, were as good, being every where convertible into specie. The holder of any of these notes could, at any time, exchange them for gold or silver without any inconvenience. A man who had one of these notes was not obliged to go to the bank which issued it for this purpose. He could get specie for it at the counter of any merchant, or from the till of any me. chamc. But, air, the credit of the Bank of the United States was not confined to this country; its paper was sought after amongst the people of remote nations. In China and India its bills of exchange frequently com manded a premium of eight or ten per cent. Such a currency could not but bo a great auxiliary to commerce. It promoted and increased trade, and enhanced tho prosperi ty of the people in every department of bus. iness. It stimulated enterprise; but not to the point where it degenerates into a spirit of speculation. The prosperity of the coun try was Sound; commerce and agriculture flourished; and labor of every kind met_with a-certain and liberal reward. Those were the results of a sound and uniform currency. But this state of things was not to last. It became a prominent part of the policy oldie Government to destroy the institution which furnished this currency. The motives which actuated the Government in its war fare upon this institution, wore very clearly exposed by my honorable friend from Rhode Island, (Mr. Tillinghast,) a day or two Airco, and it is no part of Any purpose to recur to them. I refer to th,s institution, and the werfiiro upon it, only as a matter of history and fact, necessary to my argument; not es the eulogist of the bank, or to roeommend its re-establishment. Lib the prosperity of the country, it has ceased to exist, by the fiat attic party in power. Upon that party rests tho responsibility of its destruction; it may also take the responsibility of its mato ration. By the act of its incorporation, this insti tution was made the depository of the public funds, and was requited to disburse them to the public creditors without charge, at such points as the Government should designate. This duty it performed with fidelity. The public creditor was promptly paid, and the character of the Government, for unmet v ing punctuality in all- its transactions, most carefully maintained.. This is no longer the case, as I shall take occasion to show. But, in order to accomplish the destruction of this institution, it was deemed necessary to remove from its custody the public nio• ncy. This was done. But at that time it was "considered," by President Jackson, "as against the genius of our free institu tions to lock up in vaults the treasure of the nation ;" and that "such treasure would doubtless be employed at some time, as it has in other countries, when opportunity tempted ambition." Some other place of deposite was to be found thaw the vaults of the Treasury; and the State banks were adopted for that purpose. .The public mo ney waaremoved from the Bunk- of the Um . - red States, its legal depository, and placed in the custody of certain State banks, select ed by Amos Kendall, as the agent of the Secretary of the Treasury. Here began the experiments: From this fatal, step all eur difficulties have proceeded. %Vero these difficulties unforeseen? lhd nobody predict the consequences which have resulted from this experiment 1 Yes, sir, they were pre. dieted. Every wise and far seeing states. titan in the land foretold the manifold mis• chiefs which would flow from this unwar rentable act. Turn to the debates of that period; they aro full of warning; but the warning voice of wisdom was disregarded. The advocates of this experiment wore as confident then as the advocates of the sub. Treasury experiment are now. These quacks and empirtcs lauded the State bank system as the ne plus ultra of financial wis dom. If you had believed them, the mea sure was to operate like the touch of Midas —to turn every thing into gold. Mr." Chairman, it is a part of the system of the party in power to deceive the people by denouncing the banks; yet the policy of that party multiplied banks and bank capital to an extent never before known. It was the removal of the public money from its le gal place of deposite, and entrusting it to the custody of the State banks, which so great ly increased the number of banks and amount of bank capital between the year 1833 and the year 1837. The subjoined ta ble will show the ratio of increase, before, and during that period. The number of banks in— No. banks. Specio. Circulation.

It also appears that, during the period of ten years, from 1820 until 1830, the banking capital of the country increased but 88,- 681,657; and, that during the next seven years, from 1830 until 1837, it was increa• sed 8145,579,823. That is, during the first period of ten years, from 1820 until 1830, before an impulse had been given to banking by the policy of the Government, less than three banks a year were incorporated; and the increase of banking capital was but 8808,165 a year. During the second peri od of seven years, from 1830 until 1837, more than forty-three banks a year were in. corporated; and the increase of bank capi tal was $20,795,689 a year. This was the average amount for seven years; but the increase was much greater after 1833, when the great impulse to banking had been given by the removal of the public money from the bank of the United States to the State banks. Then it was that bank charters were sought after with an eager ness never before known. The halls of the Stale Legislatures were thronged with thou. sand of applicants, seeking to be incorpora ted into banking companies, in hopes that they might become the depositories of the Government funds, and without capital of their own, attain to wealth. Besieged as they were—urged as they wore from every quarter, and Jailing in with the policy of the general Administration, the Legislatures of the States multiplied these institutions to an unwise and injurious extent. In the course of four or five years, atter the remo val of the public money from the Bank of the United States, more than three hundred State banks were incorporated; while du ring a period of ten years, from 1820 to 1830, but twenty-seven banks had been chartered. The impulse given to the bank ing system by the policy of the national Administration, and its earnest recommen dations to the deposals banks "to afford in creased facilities to commerce, and extend accommodations to individuals," was the priinary and chief cause of all the difficul• ties. which have since Come upon the ceun• try in such thick array. It produced in the first place a redundant issue of paper money. This stimulated, to an ordinary degree, a spirit of speculation, which embraced, not only every purchasable commodity in this country, but also every fabric of foreign skill which American money or American credit could command in the markets of Europe. Nor was this all. This spirit was not confined to commerce and the trans actions amongst individuals. It was extend ed to legislation. The same individuals, or at least those who felt the impulse of this spirit, were the legislators of the land; and the consequence was, that the States were hurried forward in a career of expenditure beyond their immediate resources, and be yond the limits of prudence. State stocks to an enormous and unprecedented amount, were issued. These stocks, becoming un• saleable at home, found their way into the European markets, and now constitute a principal item of the foreign debt in this country. 'Mr. Chairman, am I wrong in impu ting the enormous issue of State stocks to the policy of the general Administration? No, sir; it is the legitimate result of the spirit of speculation, growing out of the in crease of banks and the immense amount' of paper money put in circulation by them, at the instance and requobt of the Secretary of the Treasury. The same State Legisla tuies,, which in the course of four or five yearii slier the removal of the deposites, in. corporated upwards of three hundred banks, and created upwards of $145,000,000. of bank capital, issued during the same pe riod $140,000.000 of State stocks. The annexed table will show the amount of stocks issued by eighteen States, in each pe• riod of five years, from 1820 to 1838. From 1820 to 1825 1625 to 1630 1830 to 1835 1835 to 1836 From this table it appears that the amount cf stocks issued from 1820- to 1590 inclusive, being eleven years, was $26,470,- 417. Amount issued•frem 1830 to 1838, being seven years, $148,228,577. From 11=20 to 1830 the amount of stock• issued annually was 82,360,000. From 1830 to 18:38 the amount issued annually was W 1,142,000. By reference to this. table, taken in con- . neiion with the preceding one, in relation to the increase of banks, two things will ap• pear: First, that the great' increase of banks and banking capitnl,took place immediately after the removal of the deposites from the Bank of the United States to the State banks;, and, second, that the great incresce of stocks took place during the same period. And by a little extrinsic examinatipn, two things more will appear, namely, that the same Legislatures which Incorporated the most banks, issued the most stocks; and that these Legislatures were composed of a majority of those friendly to the national Administration. 1 think, sir, that I have now shown that the general Administra tion is responsible for the increase of banks and the redundant circulation of bank paper. But, in order that this may not be left to in ference, I beg leave to call the attention of the committee to the following extract of a communication, addressed by It. B. Taney, Secretary of the Treasury, to the President I of the Girard Bank; in which he says: "The deposites of the public money will enable you to afford increased facilities to commerce, and to your accommodations to individuals; and as the du ties which are parable to the Government arise from the business and enterprise of the merchants engaged in foreign trade, it is but reasonable that they should be preferred in the additions{ aceammodatitms which the public depositea will amble your institution, to give. whenever it can be done without injustice to the I claims of other classes of the community." This communication is signed, R. B. Ta ney, and dated September 26, 1833, and ad dressed, as I have said, to the President of the Girard Bank. . Similar commutrica lions wore addressed to all "the banks," amounting to seventy or eighty in number. This communication is to be found in No. 2, of the Senate documents of the Ist Ses sion 234 Congress, vol. Ist, page 33. Mr. Chairman, hero is an official com munication from the Secretary of the Trea sury, authorizing and inviting the whole cordon of deposito banks to extend their ac commodations, and issue paper money on the faith of the public deposites. Will Ibe told, alter this, that the Adminstration is not responsible for the flood of paper money which was poured out over laud? This flood was not only the natural result of its policy; but it was poured forth by its authority, ad• vice,and recommendation. But this was not all. A spirit of speculation grew out of it, whichimparted a feverish and wild impulse to commerce, to trade, to every department of business. This spirit diffused itself every where. The old and safe roads to prosper ity were abandoned, as being too long and laborious to travel. Men of every pursuit and calling caught the contagion. Men in public life as well as private life became in fected by it. Legislation exhibited its ef- fects in large and imprudent appropriations for internal improvements and in the crea tion of enormous amounts of stock—cona• merce, in the purchase of every commodity at home and abroad. The result of all this was an immense domestic and foreig n debt. I have already exhibited tables sowing the increase of banks and banking capital, and the issue of stocks, during certain peri ods. I will now exhibit one showing the amount of imports and exports during the same period. The Mowing is the amount of imports and exports for each year, from 1820 to 1830, inclusive. Year. Imports.

Now, sir, look at this table in connexion with those which I have exhibited, relating to banks and stocks, and you will discover, that immediately after the great increase which took place in the banking capital of the country,and in the creation of stocks,im ports assumed a corresponding increase, by which the balance of trade was left ruinously against this country. Here we have the whole chain of effects, resulting from the Administration,in removing the public funds from their legal depository to the State banks, and in the recommendation to these institu tions,to extend their accommodations on the faith of the public deposites. First came the increase of banks and bank capital; next, a spirit of speculation, resulting in the crea tion of an enormous amount of stocks; then, ovortrading by which the country bet ame involved in an immense foreign debt. This was the condition to which the country had been- brought in 1836. Still, it is possible that, by wise and prudent management on the part of the Government, the impending evils might have been averted; their force at least might have been broken. But an other experiment, rash and foolish as the former, aggravated the evils and hastened the catastrophe. The "Specie Circular" was issued, directing the agents for the sale of the public lands, to receive in payment for them nothing but gold and silver. Thus the Government bastardized its own issue; branded as spurious its own legitimate off spring, (that is r if its connexion with the de posits banks was ever lawful.) The issuing of this circular, by the Secretary of the Trea sury, destroyed all confidence in the solidity and safety of the banks. It discredited the paper of those institutions which its own policy had called into being, it ,was a war ning—a significant warning to the people, not to receive it. It was an-unnatural policy for the Government to pursue, and' could have but one efrect—the ddstructirm of all confidence. Its conduct was both unwise and Wicked. It had seduced the banks into issu ing huge amounts of paper; and to discred it it, under such circumstances, was an ag $1'2.390,723 13,669;65e 40,002,768 . 103,223,608 $174,696,994• $497,7E8,559 $625,451,627 $615,460,354 $P69,780,304 gravated species of fraud. This, however, I was done. The people became alarmed; and the result was a suspension of specie payments in 1837. Such was the effect of the policy of the Government upon the cur rency. A currency, the best and soundest upon earth, when these experiments were commenced, was rendered worthless; and the country, from the highest degree of prosperity, was plunged into the deepest em barrassment and distress. Vas this not the work of the Government? Was it riot the necessary effect of its policy? Look at the successive steps of the experiments. First came rho war upon the Bank of the United States; next, the custody of the public funds wasgiven to some seventy or eighty State banks,whicli were advised to "increase their accommodations;" from this resulted an extravagant issue of paper money, and an inflated state of the currency; upon this fol lowed an inordinate spirit of speculation, which extended itself throughout the land, over all its concerns, etribraein e l all its com modities; stocks were multiplied by millions and tens of millions; imports to an excessive amount flowed into the country; then came the "Specie Circular," discrediting the pa. per money which the Government had prevailed upon the banks to issue; and hard upon the heels of this followed the suspen sion of specie payments, the consequent de rangement of the currency, and the embar rassment and distress of the country-- These were the results of the experi monis— experiments which were preceded by terror, and followed by ruin. But, sir, the Administration ties not yet done with its experiments. The remedy for the evils of its former experiments, is another experiment. It does not propose to retrace its steps and return to the policy which had rendered this cation great, pros. porous, and happy. No, sir; the nation is to be afflicted with another experiment, the sub-Treasury experiment—the worst, I am sure, and I hope the last. that this Admin• istration will ever have power to practise. This measure, the g reat leading one of this Administration, has been denominated by its friends, a "Divorce of Bank and State." This is a misnomer. The gentle man from Rhode Island (Mr. Tillinghast) was right when he denominated rt a "mar riage." It is u marriage—an unnatural and unholy one—a union of the purse and the sword, whose fruit will be a monster— the monster despotism. What has the ef fect of such a union been in all other coun tries of the world? Has it not proved disas trous to liberty? Is it not a fact that the Commons of England by holding the public purse with a firm grasp, wore enabled to strip their Kings of those parts of the royal prerogative most pernicious to freedom?— But for this, the grasping and imperious houses of Tudor and of Stuart, would have effectually subverted the liberties of the British people. The separation of the mo ney from the military power, has been the salvation of the liberty of England. Where these powers are separated no people can be completely slaSes. Where they are uni ted no people can he completely free; and gentlemen have profittod little from the les. sons of history,who have not learned this fact. Mr. Chairman, 1 do not believe that the present Chief Magistrate means, through the instrumentality of this measure, to usurp the liberties of the country. He is not the kind of man to play Cresar. Fortunately for the country, he lacks the bold virtue of courage, requisite in a usurper. Like Peg gy Lobkins, Paul Clifford's foster-mother, when he wants a thing, he prefers to take it "by way of insinivation, not bluster," be lieving with her, that "they as swindles does morn and risks less than they as robs." But, sir, the existence of such a power as is conferred upon the Executive by this bill, will beget usurpers and despots. Mankind have nut changed. Men are the same now as always—ambitious, selfish, anxious to possess power, rapacious in its exorcise.— What guarantee have we in the present con dition of human society that men will nut abuse powei? Is it to be found in the con duct of the majority of this House towards the people of New Jersey 1. No r sir; we have no such guarantee:. Pass. this bill; clothe the President with the power which it confers; place the treasury of thebation in his hands, or, what is the same thing, in the hands of agents to be appointed by him, -and removable at his pleasure, as is provided for in the fourth section of the bill; give him the command of more than twenty thousand officers to superintend the machinery of this .sub-Treasury, to bo appointed in pursuance "of the sixth section:- give him or his subor dinates, in addition to this, the power to ap point special agenteto examine the accounts of this army of officeholders and to direct their operations, under the provisions of the twelfth section, and in some evil day some modern Cesar, or Cromwell, or Napoleon, will set his foot upon the necks of his cowl. try - men. Sir, let this bill become a law, and History yonder, [pointing to the Alma of History in front of the Speaker's chair,} who has thus far been recording the progress of the nation to greatness,the diffusion of know ledge, the triumph of industry and constitu tional freedom, will write—" Here end the liberties of the American people,. for they have placed in the hands of their rulers the power to - make them slaves," and folding her scroll; she will deposits it amongst the ar. chives of the-past, and assuming other tab lets, she will inscribe on the title page, "The decline and full of rho American Republic." Sir, is thisfancy? If it be, then is all histo ry false,and the chroniclers of passages have imposed lies on posterity. But let us look abroad over the world,and see what is the condition of the people in those countries where the treasure and the sword are hold by the same hands. It is so in Russia; and there the people aro slaves, without rights of person or of property, and without security of life or reputation. It is so in Germany and Prussic', and what rights have the people?' It is so in Turkey, and there the life and property of every man is at the mercy of the Sultan. And wherever on the face of the'earth, you will point me to a government in which the money and military power is united in the same hands; I will show you a people poor and miserable,- without civil of soeial rights. Yet these are the Governments which the present Ad ministration - has taken as exemplars. [CONCLINISON NEXT WEEK From the Umgerstown Herald, of Weductday Isit. DE3TRUCTIVE Guts!—On Sunday eve• ning last, about halt past nice o'clock, a fire was kindled, by an incendiary, in the hay loft of a large stable Wooging to the Mes• sieurs Knodes, merchants of this town, in the rear of the beautiful and valuable two story brick huildinus, known us (lager's Row s east of the Hagerstown Bank, on Washington street. The cry of tiro and the ringing of bells assembled the firemen and citizens generally; but such was the combustibleness of the materials upon which the fire was ignited, that it enveloped save nil back buildings in flames, which lighted up the horizon in a blaze before the engines coukl be brought to bear upon it. The west end of the Row, occupied for many years'as the office of the Torch Light, was first reached by the flames from the back buildings, from which they rapidly extended eastward, and were nut ariested until they had consumed, that portion of the extensive buildings, occupied by the "Torch Light," "Our Flag," "Herald of Freedom;" Barber Shop, occupied by E. Brown; Hat Store, by Mr. Ainsworth; Book Store, by Mr. Stewart; Sadler's Shop, by Mr. Koalt•ofor and Painter's Shop, by Mr. Harley. The roof on the back extension of the bank and near the origin of the fire, caught from the sparks but was speedily extinguished—the front body of the building is covered with slate upon which the fire made no impres• sion. The Globe Inn, and several other buildings on the opposite side of the street, were for some time in imminent danger; tho sparks having fired the roofs, but were extinguished by the columns of water pour ed on them by the engines. The furniture and morchandize in the buildings consumed, were generally removed; except the books, stationery, and other valuable articles in the second story of Mr. Stewart's book store which were eestroyed; Mr. Stewart who was absent at the time, sustained a heavy loss—the buildings in Hager's row, We un derstand wore insured.

It is possible that gold may be discovered among the other minerals of the northwestern region of the United States; but the surest and easiest method of procuring it there, as well as else were we im agine, will bo to plough for it. COLONIZATZON. —The efforts of the Colo nization Society, in spite of the discouraging circumstances they have had to encounter, have a fair prospect of being crowned with success. One of their most active and effi cient agents, Judge W ilkeson of New York, states that the Colunic's are in a very flourishing condition, and agriculture is rap idly advancing, and new schools being open ed. The Methodists aro actively etigaged, and their church is daily acquiring now converts. They have established an ar ad einy whore ono hundred are taught gratui tously. The ship Saluda is to sail from Norfolk on the first of August, and has al ready on board some 810,000 worth of goods, 81,000 of which was furnished by the New York State Colonization Society, and 82,000 from Now Jersey. Two Bap tist Missionaries and their wives go out in her. GREAT MAIL.—On the last day of the session of Congress no less than three hun dred and fort! four bushels of documents and newspapers were sent from the City Post Office, by mail, to different parts of the Union. DAGUERREOTYPE LIKENESS.—Art Impor tant Discovery.— %%'e learn that Mr. Jus tus E. Moore, of this city, has just effected an important improvement in taking like nesses on the Daguerreotype plan: He has succeeded in discovering a method by which a portrait of the human face may be taken in a single instant of time, as soon, in fact, as the light fulls upon the original. This is an important fact, especially when it is remembered that the shortest time has hith erto been from one minute and a half to two minutes and a half.—Phil. Inquirer.. VAN BUREN'S FEDER ALISSe.—WO offer, among mnny others that might be cited, the following conclusive proofs of the Fede ralism of that man, who now claims to be the pattern of republicanism, the "bright" Jupiter Ammon "of democracy." 1. He opposed the late war, and support ed. a federalist in opposition to James Madi son. 3. He was associated' with Rufus King; and the Essex Junto, then the fountain head of federalism. 3. In 1819, he supported in the New York Legislature,t he return of Rufus King,. as United States Senator. 4. In 1821., in the Convention to amend the Constitution of New York, he attempt ed to prevent persons from voting, unless householders, thereby throwing the young mechanics, clerks, and all unmarried per sons, oat of the pale of the elective franchise. 5. In the same Convention, he voted to take from the people the right of electing many of their subordinate officers, mid to place their appointment in the patronage of county Judges and supervisors. 0. He is for concentrating all possible , power in the Federal Executive. We might go on to enumerate many other equally glaring principles . , but we' confine ourselves to these few. • The first five can be substantiated by a perusal of his life by Prof. Holland, and the other is evi deut to all, whO are conversant with his po litical history.—Pa. latelligenser. PRIMITIVE, MI tmontsTs.—At the 21st annual conference'of this denominatton,hold at Manchester, in England, tr report was mode, from which it appears there are now 73,996 members; 487 travelling; 6,550 local preachers; and 1,149 houses of worship. TILE CUNAUD FESTIVAL — The Beslonians have given the Hon. Sam'l Cunard, a peep tion worthy of his great enterprize, in estab lishing a line of steam packet ships between. their city and Liverpool, and every way creditable to the hospitality of the Athens ot America. The Duke of Wellington takes precedence of. Prince A lbert as field marshal. The age of the eldest son of the duke is 33. His grace himself is 71 this year. While we were going to our dinner on Wedne.day, we saw several boys, about 1P• years of age, making log cabins with chalk upon the fence. As we were passing them one of them turnod up his Moo towards us and excluimed—"Hurrah for Van Harri— son!" "But why do you say Van Harrison; my little manl" queth we.

TIIE WHIGS TRIUMPHANT: The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday last says— ••Wo have received Now Orleans papers of the 24th ult. They contain the gratifying account that Moore, (the Whig candidate) is elected in the third district, meagre all the boasting and bluster ings of the Locofucos. At our previous accounts, Moore had 285- majority over Winn, and three parishes to hear from—these three parishes give Winn 230 majority, and leave Moore a majority of 55 votes in the district. Thus we have two of the three members of Ct...gress, a majority in the Legislature, ensuring the election of a Whig U. S.

Will the Keystone Htato be thus cleated? Will the citizens of Ad orns county support the man who wouhlwithhold from them, money actually theirs, and ( which might save them much of the tax, with which they are burdened! Meetings of the People. Large and enthusiastic meetings of the peoplo ocro held at Shippcnsburg and Waynesboro' dur ing last week. At Shippensburg the honest yeo manry' cacao in scores from mountain and valley, many of them to show that they had cast off the shackles of party, and would now "do battle" for tho country. News of dm most gratifying char acter came to us from mother Cumberland. The foci is struggling hard to secure that ascendancy which they have hitherto held, but which is about to depart from them. Tho fears of the groat mass of the people are aroused ! "A change! a change!" —is the uniorlsal cry—"worse, it can't be—better, it may." from' 1500 to 2,000 persons were in procession, many of whom have recently declared themselves for Harrison. Speeches were made by the Hon. D.tvis of Kentucky, lion. „Times Codper, O. B. Possess, Esq. and others. The sentinel's on that quanta of our boundary say to us, "all's well." . At Waynesboro' the number of persons in at; tendanco is estimated at not less than 5,000! It w as a glorious day in Franklin, such as was never known, or witnessed by our neighbors before. "With banners bright and streaming high, From hill and vale they cane!—they enine! Swelling the notes of victory !" Delegatians by hundreds poured in from Hagers town, Chumbcraburg, Quincy. Fayetteville, and this place, to:swell the host that had met to resent with indignation the attempts of Martin Van Du ren to make the people his subjects and dares. The meeting was addressed by 1). G. ro3l, Esq. of litgerstown, 'Thaddeus Stevens, Charles B. Penroie, Geo. Chambers, Esqrs. and Hon. James Cooper. The signs etre nut to be mistaken !--Read in thorn tho dowirrif of the poor man'a oppressor, and the success of the poor mies friend--gbe for mer of North Bend. On, then !—eoets men et his post. Charge caln.ly—dnitedly—persevering ly—upon Martin Van Bureti'a Admini-tration ! Hold up hie Sub-Treasury Bill, his Standing Ar my, his Tax-preparing-Census, and every other act equally detestable, and all will be safe. Our friends from Franklin say "all's well." Mr. Rhctt of South Carolina. during the pen dency of the debate on tho Sub-Treasury Bill, said "that all duties ought to be abolished and the government supported by DIRECT T•XATION !" Mr. Piek✓ne confirmed this disci Inure, by declar ing ~ ihat this Bill (the Sub-Treasury) is to be followed by other financial measures, which will relieve the South from the tribute they have been paying the North !" The true tendency of the Sub-Treasury wan diSclosed in the same unintentional way by Bu chanan, when urging its passage in the Senate.— It would make the poor poorer and the rich richer —crush the laborer—give him hut six pence a day for his labor, and reduce him to the abject condi tion of a Russian serf. Tho situation of the sub jects of European governments, RULED UT Kuras, was held up as that to which our laborers and mechanics should be reduced. Look now at the next experiment that is to be put into operation, if the people do not drive out the cormorants that arc preying upon their substance. TAXATION—.- DIRECT TAXATION !—is to be visited upon us by Martin Van Buren, if you will but re-elect hire! Pennay Ivanians!—Preemen ! will you sub mit to this tyranical measure You hdve just had levied upon you a tax by Gov. Porter, which far exceeds any that you have hitherto paid ! You are suffering by a depreciated currency—suffering under "the experiments !" You aro sacrificing the products of the soil, and are subjected to enormous taxes, to sustain the extravagance of the government. Your taxes go to the payment of interest on debts improvidently contracted ; and withal you are told that direct tastdibn from the General Government is to be expected. - Will you vote for Martin Van Buren—when that vote draws froth you the pittance which you may have —to support swarms of Collectors and Assessors, sent out by the President Can You?

E 4 p 0..-; Now road tho subjoined testimony—au:Mining testimony—end if a tittle of incredulity remain, please call on Mr. Wallace, and ask him how he happened to swear thus:— 14 free colored Tim\ PROOF.—The Globe having recent ly assorted, that it had authority for deny ing the statement heretofore made by Mr. James Wallace, of a conversation between him and Benjamin Tappan, Esq., in which the latter expressed himself in favor of a specie currency, the effect of which, as sta ted by Mr. Tappan, would be to reduce la bor to 12i cents' a day, mid wheat to 16 cents a bushel, &o. we have been furnished with the following affidavits from Mr. James Wallace, and Mr. James Little. both re spectable woollen manufactures, and Adam %Vise, Esq., at the time of the conversation a machine maker, and now a justice of the Peace, all of Steubenville. We understand also that the facts set kfrth in these deposi tions, can be sustained by other individuals. Any further romaik on our part is unneces nary. Personally appeared before the under Sig ned, James Wallace, who deposes and says, That a short time previous to the last Octo ber election, he had a conversation with lJenj'n Tappan, esq. one of the Senators in Congress of the United States from the State of Ohio, during which conversation Ur. Tappan remarked, "You manufacturers, Mr. Wallace, stand very much in your awn light, that you do not go with us for the hard money system; and you would go with us if you did not look through other people's spectacles." This deponent enquired how the manufacturers were to be benefitted by the adoption of that system? Mr. Tappan replied that "wages wore entirely too high in this country, and that there was no rea son why labor should not be as cheap in this country as in Europe. It is the Banks (continued Mr. Tappan) that keep up the price of labor and the price of produce; if you can put down the Banks, labor will be reduced to eleve.z pence a day, wheat to sixteen cents a bushel, and every thing else in proportion. The Sub• Treasury will pro duce this result-4'lva put down the Banks, and reduce the price of labor, and the pro duce of the country. It wilt bo the best' tariff the manufacturers can have; and in stead of being compelled to ask your gov ernment for protection, it will enable the American manufacturer to compete with the English manufacturer even in his own market." JAMES WALLACE. State of Ohio, Jefferson County, as. Personally appeared before the undersign ed, a Notary Public, within and for the county of Jefferson,•Jas. Wallace, who be ing•duly sworn, deposes'and says, that the foregoing statement, by him subscribed, is true in substance, and in fact. Witness my hand and official seal at Steubenville, this 20th day of July, D. 1840. [L. S.}. J. COLLIER, At the same time and place came JAMES LITTLE, who being duly sworn, says that sometime previous to the last Election, the deponent' had a - convbreatioa withßeejamin Taxes ! Taxes!! From tho Steubenville Gazette DEPOSITIONS. Notary Public, Jeff. Co., Ohio. Tappan, Esq. in which Mr. Tappan obser ved, that it was the Banks, that b ept tiPthe price of labor and the price of prOduce, and if we could put down the Banks, and bring every thing to the specie standard, instead of foreign goods being brought to this country, we could lake our good', to Europe and undersell them. JAMES LITTLE. Sworn and subscribed before me this 29th July 1840. J. COLLIER, Notary Public. At the same time and place came also Adam Wise, who, being duly sworn, says, that some time since he had a conversation with Benjamin Tappan, Esq. in which Mr. Tappan remarked, that the Banks tvere a great injury to the mechanics, that they (the Banks) kept up the price of produce, and that every dollar which Bunks received for interest on loans, was just so much ta ken out of the pocket of the laboring man. Mr. Tappan also said, the Banks ought to be put down, and then we should have noth trie but a specte currency, and it would be much better for the mechanic it it were so. ADAM WISE. Sworn and subscribed before me this 20th July, 1840. J. COLLIER, Notary Public. The Standing Army. Ono single feature of this enslaving project— any that we have noticed—ought to rouse the &d -ings of every man who prizes freedom of speech, or of the prom, and urge him to enlist all his ener gies in assisting to defeat Martin Van Buren, who has endorsed this Standing Army Scheme as his owli. By it he expects to grasp the crown. It is provided in the 20th section of Mr. Poiasott's proposed system—.. That the militia of the United States, or any portion thereof, when employed in the service of the United States, shag be subject to the same rules and ♦nria.aa ov w•u, as the troops of the United States." Tho sth article of war runs thus—. . Art. sth. Any officer, or soldier, who shall USE CONTEMPTUOUS OR DISRES PECTFUL WORDS against the Presi• dent of the United State., against the Vice President thereof, against the Chief Magis• trate of any of the United States in which they may be quartered; if a commissioned officer, shall be CASHIERED, or other wise PUNISHED, as a Court Martial shall direct: if a non-commissioned officer or sol dier, he shall suffer such punishment as shall be inflicted on him by the sentence of a Court 111artial. Here is a gag imposed upon every citizen of this Republic who dares to express his candid sen timents upon any act of their Chief Magistrate. Give such power into the hands of the best man living, and it would he abused. Give it to Martin Van Huron, and you will mourn over the loss of all that was protective and free in the government, which our ancestors enjoyed—you will yourselves have erected a despotism worse than that from which the sages of the Revolution freed us—you will have lost a priceless inheritance, and the grst lication of a monarch will be your only incentive to duty. It will be supreine,aud rnust be obeyed, under pain of the infliction of such punikhment US a Court martial—cnosss ♦T TUE WILL ♦ND UNDER TUE DIRECTION 01 , TUE PIIESIDENT—may see proper to inflict. Reflect, fellow-citizens, while you are yet permitted to act out your wish es! Reflect, not es partizans, but as merntJers of a Republican government, and say whether this ,Standing Army will not destroy every vestige of your Republicanism! Reflect impartially—speak for yourselves, before your mouths be sealed, and you' be slaves in the service of a President—nay a dictator, against none of whose acts, however wicked, oppressive, proscriptive, or cnININ•L, "a disrespectful word" dere he uttered! Road . for 'yourselves, and we vouch for it you will consign to eternal infamy tha man who would Exxon max ti to e people called fret, a project so proscrip tive and tyranizing. Slavery—'.whits slavery"— is boldly offered to you. Will you accept it at his hands& Vote for Martin Van Uuren, and it is fixed upon you! Vote for the Log. cabin can didate—the tried and' proved Harrison—and it is crushed, while you er redeemed. It is no longer •a matter of doubt as to what object tho President and, his cabinet have in view in putting the thousand questions to every citizen of the Union, which aro placed in the hands.of all the census-titkare. It is to levy upon the country, now reduced to a state of bankruptcy, a DIRECT Tax, to sustain the government. The deputy marshal enquires not only concerning the number of a man's household, their ages, sex and color, but travelling out through all the minutia of Lis business', he institutes an. investigation into the products of his field, the contents of his barn and granary, and his hen•roost! 'faxes! 'Ties! without end aro multiplied, end all to sustain the kingly extravagance of our democratic rulers. HTMENIAL REGISTER. NIARRIED. In Baltimore, oti'tbe 23d ult. by the Rev.
