NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, June 5, 1844, Hughes Again. WANTED IMMEDIATELY—A file of the Freeman's Journal, a weekly paper, published in New York, from 1840 up to the present time. This isthe weekly paper, which is considered the organ of Bishop Hughes, and which contains all his idees and speeches. We want to purchase or to borrow a file of this paper, in order to place the public conduct of Bishop Hughes before the American peoplé in its just, true and proper light, and per- chance to use up what little is now leit of him. Any person having such a file, for loan or sale, will Please to apply at this office and further particulars, ‘The Great Democratic Ratification Meeting in the Park. The democratic ratification meeting, to confirm the nominations of Polk and Dallas, made at Bal- timore,for next President and Vice President, took place yesterday afternoon in the Park, and it was, on the whole, a pretty large assemblage of six or eight thousend, but nothing remarkable either in enthusiasm, confidence, spirit, or devotion to the cause. The proceedings, together with Mr. Van Buren’s letter declining to be Chairman, and Mr. Butler’s speech, will be found in our columns to-day. The Hon. C. P. White was Chairman. We felt some curiosity to see this meeting, and to ascertain from its leading features some idea of the force which the democracy intend to bring into the field under the new flag of Polk and Dallas On the whole, therefore, we are rather disappointed in its numbers, enthusiasm and characteristics. It is very evident that a deep feeling of disappoint- ment yet prevails in the hearts of the party leaders here, all of whom were friendly to Mr. Van Buren. The meeting was undoubtedly large, and tolerably well got up; but yet not enough to impress upon. us the idea that they could beat the forces of Clay in this State, if all the whigs come up to the scratch. Yet we would not be too confident of this opinion. The very want of apparent enthusiasm among the democracy may lull into a false security the lazy and talkative and speculating whigs in the ap- proaching contest, and thus give a victery to Polk and Dallas, equally surprising and great. The great principles at stake, and the discus- sions during the summer must decide the con- test. These principles are a national bank—a protective tariff—distribution Of the land revenues— and a single term—all of which the whigs are in favor, and to which the democrats are opposed. Onthe Texas annexation and Oregon occupation questions, there is also a division—the democrats being in favor of and the whigs opposed. The contest will, therefore, be more tangible and open than any one we have had for years. The victory will be determined by the hardest workers and the most efficient movements. On tge whole, the contest will be a more even match than we had reason to expect. One thing is certain, Captain Tyler and his men will never be heard of from this day forward, in this election. New ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN CarTaIN TYLER AND THE Democrats.—According to all appear- ances, it seems that a plan has been matured at ‘Washington, for the purpose of reconciling the Tylerites and the pure democracy. This plan is, that the friends of Polk and Dallas are to have the nomination of all the electoral tickets throughout the country, whilst the Tylerites, voting the same ticket, indicate their preference for Captain Tyler byendorsing his name on the ticket. By this means, it is supposed that the union of the whole demo- cratic party will be preserved, at the same time the relative strength of Polk and Tyler will be as- certained. We regard this plan as a very ridiculous one. We consider that it is most absurd to suppose that the great party who have nominated. Polk, would, under any circumstances, cast their votes for Tyler. This may, however, be the best and most deli- cate mode of letting Captain Tyler down. We all know that he must go down or be withdrawn in some shape or other, and this will answer very capi- tally fora withdrawal. It is quite evident that Calhoun and all his triends wiil go for Polk and Dallas, and the “‘Madisonian,” John Jones, Cap- tain Tyler, and the whole family must do the same or be annihilated. We consider the proposed plan a virtual withdrawal of the Captain. ComMenceMENT or Business.—Yesterday, in the Park ia this city, the democrats commenced the business for the electing of the next President, and the Whigs to-daybegin by a grand convention of their Clay clubs at Utica. This last movement, it seems, will be a very secret and business operation all through. The clubs have been collected together from all parts of the State of New York, for the purpose of concerting and arranging the best sys- tem of bringing out all their voters throughout every district of the State. It will be more a busi- ness than a talking convention—intended rather for practical utility than public effect. The whigs are beginning to be awakened to a sense of their pesition, and the very obscurity of the candidates of their antagonists, and the secret organization of the locofocos give them sufficient warning that they cannot succeed without great effort. It is gene- rally conceded that the whigs have the votes, it they can bring them out. The question is whether they can do s0. Movements or Toe Frencu.—It appears by ad vices received at New Bedford, that the French have taken possession of one or two more islands. According to Captain Perry, of the whale ship Sally Anne, arrived at that port last Sunday, the islands of Amsterdam and St. Paul’s, in the Indian Ocean, had been taken possession of by a French colony of about thirty persons. They had erected a number of houses, and had two schooners and a Jarge number of boats to carry on the whale fishery. The arrival of another schooner with eighty per- sons was daily expected, to join in the new enter- prize. The islands were entirely sterile, and im- practicable for cultivation. All that the French seem to care for in these sei- tures, as wellas those in the Pacific, is to obtain depots for their whale ships. We have noticed within the last year that the Freuch whale fishery has somewhat increased. Disso-vrion of THe Union at THe Souru.—The South Carolinian, « newspaper published at Co- lumbia in that State, after a series of remarks on the probable chance o{ the Texas treaty before the Senate, proposes, in the event of its failure, the following :— 1. To call mpon our delegations in Congre: sion, or our Senators, if they be atthe vent of ent, to wait on the Texan minister, and remonstrate with him ag’ uny negotiation with other powers, until the Southern States shall have had a reasonable time to decide Upon their course, 2, That object secured, a Convention of the people of each State should be promptly called, to deliberate and decide upon the action to be taken by the slave States on the question of Annexation; und to appoint delegates to a Convention of the Slave States, with instructions to carry into effect the behes 3. That a Conven delegations from each, appointed as afor called, to meet at some central position, to take into consideration the question of annexing Texas to the Union, if the Union will accept it ; or, if the Union will not accept it, then, of annexing Texas to the Southern States. 4. That the President of the United States be requested by the General Convention of the slave States, to call orn together immediately; when the final issue shall be made up, and the alternative distinctly presented to the free States, either to admit Texas into the Union, or to proceed peaceably and calmly, to arrange the terms of ‘8 dissolution of the Union | ‘This is pretty much the same course proposed by the Northern fanatics, provided the treaty be con- firmed. _—— Banner Presevtation.—The ladies of the Filth Ward present the Natives with a splendid banner, to-night, at 8 o’clock, at the Apollo Saloon. It will be an interesting sight even to Bishop Hughes, to whom we willingly transfer our ticket of invita- a, as we cannot attend Navati—The U.S. brig Somers, Lieut. Geery, was_off the-3 W. Pass, on the 23d ult., all well, Ciosz or Macrxapy’s Encagement.—Macready closed his engagement at the Park on Monday night, and made a speech expressive of his thanks for the kindness with which he had been received, and soon, His last engagement was a little more productive than the previous one, although the houses were slim in the first few nights, but im- proved towards the close, probably im consequence of the influx of strangers to the city. Mr. Macready, although an artist of consummate skill, has never been a popular actor; and this is easily explained. He excites admiration, but awakens no passionate emotion. He is painfully attentive to details—his readings—his enunciation— his gesturee—are all unexceptionable,but he never agitates and overwhelms his audience, as did the great tragedians of a former day. Life and soul are wanting. In genius he is iaferior to Forrest, whom he so much surpasses in artistical skill. It is difficult to find any artist of the day with whom we can compare or contrast Macready, for in Eng- land the legitimate drama is on its last legs, and the great standards of histrionic excellence have one by one been removed from our view. Asan actor, Macready, however, may be said to stand in the sume relation to Kean and Cooke, that Vieux- temps does to Ole Bull. He 1s very classical and very cold—very finished and very frigid—without much soul, or genius, and incapable of unlocking the floodgates of enthusiasm. This is the cause of his want of great popularity. The critics admire him, and his fine taste commends him to the re- fined lovers of the drama, but the popular heart he seldom, ifever, touches. It seems that Mr. Macready does not yet leave the country. He goes to Canada, returning here in September, when he will play his last engage- ment, which will probably be better attended than any of the preceding. It will be the last opportu- nity of seeing him in this country, and as we may look on him as the last of his race—the last o! the Stewarts—the last of the Mohicans—the last star of the classical English drama, we may take along ane lingering look before he bids ua a final fa r well. Compiimentary Benevit To Mr. Simpson or Tue Parx.—This benefit comes off on Wednesday of next week, and is intended to raise a fund to enable Mr. Simpson to go to Europe on the 16th of June, for the purpose of collecting novelties in the theatrical and operatic line in London, principally in English opera, having given up the idea, it seems, of Italian opera. Borghese and several other members of the Italian company will appear. It was intended to secure the aid of Mr. Macrea- dy, Mr. Forrest, and others, on the same night, but this has been defeated in some way. In teply to a communication, sent by the committee to Mr. Macready, he selected certain pieces, such as Hamlet, which have no second part of the same rank as the first, and by this means, indirectly ex- cluded Forrest and others, who would have united with him in increasing the attractions of the benefit. From this it is supposed that Macready was not particularly anxious to appear on the same stage on the same night with Forrest. The benefit however, will take place, and will be a fine affair —the tickets $2 each. The whole affair has been got up by the everlasting committee—the old con- cern of General G. P, Morris and Co., who have been very indefatigable in the business. Travian Orzna.—Perozzi takes his benefit to- night, and we really trust that it may be a good one; for he deserves such a benefit as well as any member of the company. Valtellina’s benefit on Monday evening was rather a slim affair, owing probably to the prejudices excited against him by his injudicious conduct during the first season. It was a significant hint to the Signor, of the impro- priety of his silly publications and silly conduct, and ought to be a warning against such a cburse in future. With regard to Perozzi, however, we be- lieve we can say with the greatest truth, that no person has demeaned himself, during the two sea- sons, in a more gentlemanly manner than he. He has kept the peace with himself—with the ma- nager—with the company—with the world—and we may add, we believe, with the flesh and the devil. He, therefore, deserves a good benefit. Korponay, the great Hungarian dancer, who proposes to open classes for the ‘ Polka” in this city, appears on this occasion, and will execute a grand pas Mugyares. Korponay does not belong to the rank of ordinary dancers. He is a man of great respectability and high birth in his native. country. He is connected witb one of the first families in Hungary, but in consequence of taking part in some political move- ment, he was banished by the government of Aus- tia, and his patrimonial estates, worth $10,000 a year, confiscated. He is more of an amateur than a professional man ; but his style of dancing is re- markably elegant and original. He proposes to in- troduce the Polka here—the dance now so fashion- able on the Continent, and which has recently been introduced at Almack’s, with immense éclat. No doubt he will receive a great degree of atten- uon. ‘TueatricaL.—Last night terminated Ole Bull’s engagement at Boston. Mr. Thorne took his benefit at the “National,” on Monday evening. Ole Bull presented Mr. Herwig, leader of the orchestra, with a superb breast-pin, before the au- dience, the other evening, in testimony of the able way in which he supported him in his per- formances. Our Burturana.—This genius of the North gave his last concert in Boston last Monday evening. He visits New Haven on the 10th inst. From Nassau, N. P.—By the Julia Ann, Capt. Pitman, arrived last night, we received our regular files of papers to May 26. It appears that the inha- bitants of all the outer Bahama Islands were in a state of starvation, having had no rain for the last seven months, in consequence of which, the crops had all failed, which was their only means of subsis- tence. The government had appropriated £700 for their relief, but had not supplied the inhabitants with provisions or water. No vessel had arrived with produce, previous to the sailing of the Julia Ann. More or ovr Exeress.—We find the following in the “ Albany Argus” of yesterday:— “We receive the news via New York, and we are indebted for itto the New York Herald extra of Sunday. We notice that the ‘ Albany Knickerbocker,” and “Atlas,” and ‘ Balumore Clipper,” received the news exclusively from this office. Our Firemen.—Protector Engine, No. 22, and Company, of this city, passed through Philadelphia on Monday, en route to Baltimore Orr witm tHe Heaps.—The Common Coun- cil assemble in joint meeting this evening to con- tinue the decapitation of office holders, and sta- tion their political friends at the public crib. Coot Prace.—A. splendid new house, called the Cliffton House, has been opened on one ot the cool heighis near the flag staff on Staten Island, oppo- site Fort Hamilton, It is kept by Piries, formerly well known in New Brighton. : Curis. Lity.—This young man is still confined in jail in Westchester county, in consequence of his not having paid the fine of $500 for the death of McCoy. — Mrurrary.—The Guards of this city and of Brook- lyn made a fine display yesterday. They were re- viewed on the Battery, and ate dinner at Niblo’s. At nine o’clock last evening they passed our office on their way to Brouklyn with the fine band from Governor's Island. | Hieroricat Soctery.—We have a report of the in- ‘eresting proceedings of this body last evening, but wre obliged to deferit for want of room. Captain Exuiot, the British Chargé d’Affaires to Texas, is in Natchez, Miss. By the last advices from Washington, we are put in possession of a number of documents transmitted by the President to the Senate, on Saturday last, on the Texas negotiation question. The accom- panying message is brief; it assumes the shape of a reply to a resolution of the Senate of the 22d ult., requesting information of any promise of aid to Texas, that might have been made by the Presi- dent. Accompanying the message is a report from the Secretary of State, and several communications from nnmeé¥ous officials, comprising the whole of the information sought for by the Senate. The first is a letter from Mr. Van Zundt to Mr. Upshur, directly asking, if, in case a treaty of an- nexation were concluded, would a disposition of the naval and military force of the United States be made to counteract any hostile demonstration on the part ot Mexico. : ‘o answer to thia appears in the correspondence. 2. A note from Mr. Jones, Texian Secretary of State, to General Murphy, Chargé d’ Affaires of the United States, intimating his inclination to take-up the question; but, in view of embarrassments wit! Mexico which grow out of such diplomatic opera- tions, enforcing the necessity of a provision to meet these embarrassments, in the shape of military aid from the United Statés. “ 3. In reply to this, is a very important note of General Murphy. After alluding to the delicacy ef the position of Texas, should negotiations fail, it goes on to state that on the part of his government he has no hesitation ‘that neither Mexico nor any other foreign power will be permitted to in- vade tween that territory and the ed States; and that such negotiation being invited by the United States, no evil should accrue to Texas by an ac- ceptance of the invitation; and that measures would be taken by the United States for the de- fence of Texas from the hostility of Mexico pend- ing the negotiation. i t will be perceived that this letter establishes ihe important fact, that negotiations were opened on the clear understanding that whatever termina- tion they might lead to, the United States were bound by promise to an armed intervention in de- fence of Texas. * Mr. Jones replies to General Murphy, that his government, in face of these satisfactory assur ances, had resolved to dispatch. us special agent, General Henderson, to accomplish said negotia- tion. The next two communications are from General Murphy to Mr. Upsher, announcing the success of the project which he had been instructed to accom- plish—the mission of Gen. Henderson to Washing- ton as Texian Plenipotentiary to that of Annexa- tion. Gen. M. entorces the necessity of his gov- ernment confirming his assurances of aid and pro- tection to Texas should the issue demand it. Mr. Nelson, in an official note to Gen. Murphy, dated March 11th, assures him of the “anxiety of the President to provide for the annexation of Texas,” that he regarded the measure as of vital importance to both parties, and ‘recommended by the highest considerations of sound public policy.” At the same time an intimation is made that, the Constitution forbidding the employment of the army or navy against a foreign power with which they are at peace, Gen. Murphy had exceeded his in- structions in his directions to Lieut. Davis, of the “Flirt,” and as to the date of the employment of the warlike forces of the U.S. In conclusion, it removes the apprehension of any necessity forsuch anextreme course, and renews the assurances of the President’s intention to avnex and defend Texas to the full extent of his authority, The last to which we shall refer, is fram J. C. Calhoun, to Messis. Van Zandt and Henderson, in- forming them that the Secretary of the Navy had been instructed to concentrate a strong naval force in the Gulf of Mexico to meet any emergency, that the Secretary of War had instructions for a like object, and that “during the pendent of the ‘Treaty of Annexation, the President would deem it his duty tovuse all the means placed within his power by the Constitution, to protect Texas from all foreign invasion.” Sporting Intelligence. New York Jockey Crus Spring MeEring ovER tHE Union Course, Lone Isuanp.—These races commenced yesterday; the attendance was but very limited, indeed, there being not more than 100 persons present; but among them we observed several of the best patrons of the turf. The course was very heavy, aud looked as if a 1:ttle more pains bestowed upon it would not be thrown away; the sport, if such it can be called, wasas limited as the attendance. The first race that came off was— Jockey Club purse, $300—$50 to second best horse; two mile heats. Wm. R. Johnson enters ch. h.'Senator, by imp. Priam, dam by Gohannah, 6 years old; Kilpatrick, black jucket, with yellow sleeves and black cap. Samuel Laird enters b. h. Delaware, by Mingo, dam by John Richards, 6 years old; Laird, purple jacket and green cap. H. A. Conover, b. h, Livingsten, by Trustee, dam by Henry, 4 years old; Ramston, red and white striped joskon and cap. revious to the race, 5 to $ was offered on Senator, and between the heats 2 to 1 was offered, but in either case there were but few takers. Atthe start of the first heat, Livingston led the way, foliowed close by theother two, Senator rather be- hind, but towards the top of the back stretch, Senator came up and down the straight course, kept this position; Livingston led to the judges stand, closely followed by Senator, the other a length or so behind; down and up the back stretch, for the 2nd mile, Senato: kept close on the lap of Livingston; Delaware at the top showed symp toms of falling off; down the straight course Livingston had the lead, until they reached the distance, when Sena- tor challenged, and Kilpatrick and Ramston used their whips pretty freely, to which Livingston evinced strong symptoms of becoming restive, and some hard push- ing Senator came in about a neck in front—the third some 6or 7 lengths behind. The two miles was completed in just 4 minutes. Ramston rode well for such a youth as he appears to be, but Kilpatrick was too old « jockey for im. In the second heat Liyington had the lead closely wait- ed on by Senator, and pretty well altogether they went round, and Livingston lead the first mile, but Senator evi- i time ; when near the top of the le, Senator went up, took the lead, but not without a severe struggle on the part of Ranston, but it was useless, the other came in 3 lengths before him, Delaware near half a distance behind. These two miles was completed in 3 minutes 6 secends. ‘They were then placed th Senator, : : Kilpatrick- 11 Livingston, ‘ 22 DelaWane, oes Seer rt Se Time, - nf 4350 Immediately after, Purse $50—entrance $10 added.

It was no match at all Ramston did just as he pleased with Grace, and came in some ten or twelve lengths in front} "after which Snakey was withdrawn. The only bet made we believe on this race was a coach, pair of horses, harness and whip agaist a quarter of a dollar upon Grae: ‘The usual accommodation afforded to reporters at those meetings, that of being permitted to view each race from the Judge’s stand, so that they may be the better able to describe the running by writing their remarks as it pro- ceeds, without being incommoded, was refused our re porter yesterday. ‘I'he person to whom these matters are entrusted by us, observing, just previous to the first race, thot a reporter or some such person, connected with « weekly paper in this city, on the judges’ stand, took his place there also, and witnessed the first heat without ob vervation from any party; but when about doing so at the second heat, he was informed, by a person im attendance that only Judges were permitted on the stand, at the same time, the patty we before alluded to remained there taking his notes. If such a regulation has been made, we know not why"one reporter more than another should be permitted. We haveffor years past been at con siderable expense in sending reporiers to these meetings. and in other ways have endeavored to promote the welfare of the New York Jockey Club, and have been the cause of putting some hundreds of dollars into the pockets of the proprietors of the ground, and why we should now be refused that which is ranted on every conrse in the world, we know not, thongh from the presence of one arty on the stand, we can give a pretty good guess, but for the present shall forbear to say anything further on this part of the subject, except that we feel ussured that the members of the Jockey Club would not for ¢ moment permit even one of their own body to act in this way, a) though it might be for that individual's private interest and we are equally certain that the proprietors of the course know their own interest too well to adopt such an unprecedented and ungentlemanly line of conduct.

In the second heat Snaffle had a good word, but shortly after broke, and did not re- cover until within a half mile of home in the first mile, when he lapped the leader and came neck and neck to the lant home stretch, where it was impossible to tell which led until within a few yards of the stand. When about rock distant, he made a break, but soon recovered and led home about a neck in front, performing this heut ind minutes 22 seconds.

It will be well worth seeing. The proprietors of the course have made arrangements for railway cars to leave the Union Course for Centreville immediately after the close of the races there, and on their arrival the aport at Centreville willcommence.

Lower Police Office.—June 4—An Orricxx’s Pocx- zt Piexep.—Francis E. Ross, recently appointed one of the vectageol Marshals, entered a complaint before Justice Matself yesterday, that his watch was taken from bis cket in the morning while he was on duty in Wail st., in search of pickpockets.

The city is swarming with pick- pockets and in the removal of old officers by the Mayor and the appointment ofnew, this class of rogues, as well as all thieves and burglars, will reap a rich harvest. Countexrerter Caucnt.—John A Canter, well known aa a dealer in counterfeit money, was arrested yesterday by officer Baker, on acharge of having passed a $10 note purporting tobe of the Eagle Bank of Bristol.

The note proved to be a counter- feit and Mr. Smith gave notice to the police of the fact, which led to the arrest of Canter, who ia fully recognized isthe person who passed the note. Another charge of jimilar character agi him will establish the scienter in the case and secure his conviction. Toox 4 Watcu in a Strance Wav.—A few days since a valuable gold watch was taken from the private apart- ment of John F. Delaplaine, 7 New street, as also $22 in money, a draft for $98,and a pair of spectacles. After much h_ the watch was found in the possession of a person named John Bolen, but Mr. Delaplaine, in makin; his affidavit hefore the Police Justice, testified that he did = believe Mr. Bolen took the watch with any felonious intent ! Amusem Nisco’s Garprn.—The Opera of The Vivandiere was produced at this popular establishment on Mon- dayevening,with that successwhich has ever attended the efforts of Mr. Mitchell. Misa Taylor, as Marie the daugh- ter ofthe ent, acquitted herself most ably, and was warmly applauded—the spirited manner in which she gave the well known ‘Salut ala France,” drew down hearty and prolonged approbation. Mr. Holland, as Lob- witz, was highly entertaining and received a cordial wel- come, ‘The scenery, costumes and general effects of the opera are excellent, the chorusses were most spirited and the orchestral accompaniments admirable. Great Success or Ricwarp ye Turve.—This superior burlesque is to be presented for the third time this evening.

The performances conclude withthe ‘Green Eyed Monster, or Is He Jealous?” Mr. Wharam, Mrs. Preston and Mrs, Greene sustaining principal characters, Such an immense number of persons as assembled at the New York Museum last night we have not beheld at one place of amusement for some time. One would imagine numerously as they abound at present, that it would be impossible to find visiters for all. but it is invariably the case, that the public will patronize the establishment that provides the best’ entertainment. We think but one opinion can exist on the subject, when it is ted that a Giant Boy, 16 years old, seven feet high; a Giant Girl, aged 14, and weighs 463 pounds ; a Dwart three inches shorter than Tom Thumb; a Giantess, six fevt six, and eight performers, including Winchell, are rll to be seen for one shilling ~The wonderful Orphan fami ly were encored four times, and Master Rattler three.

Maryland 6’s have falle: off slightly, which can be attributed to the accounts pre viously received of the movements of the Legislature o that State. ‘The anticipated change in the banking syster of Great Britain, will undoubtedly have a very grea effect on American and all other stocks in the Londor market. The reduction required in the circulation of th« kingdom, will undoubtedly restrict speculations of a} kinds, and confine the employment of capital more to th: regular channels of trade. The reduction of the pape issues of banks, will create a corresponding reduction ix prices, and enable the manufacturers of Great Britain tc compete more successfully with other nations, than they are at present able to do, with a paper currency large: than that of any other country. The prosperity of all interests depends upon the extent and value of the cur rency. The smallest amount of paper money insures the greatest prosperity, and enables producers to send abrond their produce at the lowest prices. The truth of this is established, from the fact that those nations whose cur- rency approaches the nearest toa strict specie standard, are enabled to manufacture cheaper than those whose currency,runs more into paper issues. ‘The government of Great Britain perfectly understands this principle, and have before them an opportunity and a necessity to put it into operation. Heretofore Great Britain has retained a supremacy in manufactures. She has been able to supply all the markets of the world with her wares and merchan- dise, not from any previous superiority in her currency, but from her long established facilities. Other nations have recently made rapid strides in manufacturing, and have displaced in several markets those of Great Britain. This has compelled the government of England to adopt measures to insure a continuance ef the monopoly she has so long enjoyed. ‘The first step towards the accom: plishment of this result, isa complete revolution in the system of banking. It is found necessary to increaso the value of the currency, by limiting the extent of the pa- per issues. The British ministry find that the United States have become a formidable rival to their manufac- turers inthe China and German markets, through the restrictions and modifications that have taken place in the currency of this country. This has not ouly enabled our manufacturers to successfully compete with other nations, Lut has}destroyed the markets here for foreign mer- chandize, and given us the privilege of supplying our- selves. ‘The reduction that has lately taken place in tho paper issues and bank movements of the United States can be seen by the annexed table :— Bank Movement or tHe U. 8. 1N 1836 ap 1844. oans & dis. | Specie.

We have come down nearly to a specie standard, from high prices to low, from immense importa- tions and limited exports, te large exports and limited imports, and from expansion, in every department, to contraction. The cause of this revolution will be seen on reference to the above table, comparing the bank movement of the two periods. From an issue of paper money, in the proportion of four to one, we have now a proportion nearly one to one—we have nearly a dollar in specie to one of paper in circulation; and so long as this proportion is sustained, so long will we be independent ofother nations, and able to successfully compete with them. While this revolution has been going on here in the currency of this country, the bank movement of Great Britain has remained without much alteration.

The re-establishment of a Bank of the United | States at this juncture would again throw this country into | the power of Great Britain, and create the same state of things we have just escaped from.
