The contest for the Presidency waxes warm. General Taylor himself has got excited, and mounted the stump. Let Daniel Webster stop his fishing and fowling for one day in Marshfield, and read it carefully over. Let Ogden Hofiman aban- don his splendid figures of speech, and take new Jessons in oratory. Let Leslie Coombs, the greatest speaker in buffoonery we ever had in these diggings, take the next cab, and drive to the Astor House as fast as possible. Our paper of yesterday was the only newspaper in the city which contained the admirable and charactenstic speech delivered by General Taylor, at a barbecue _ given to him by his politigal‘friends at Pass Chris- tian, on the 16th inst. Wéhope our readers have Fead it, for it1s worthy of careful perusal, bemg an incident of the preseni{~canvass, which will shave considerable effect on* thé result of the elec- tion, particularly in the West and South West. This address of General Taylor is 1adeed char- acteristic of the man. The language is- simple: plain, and easily comprehended. The sentiment which pervades it 18 modest and ingenious, yet firm and determined. After referring to the occasion, which, he said, put him in mind of the scenes which he participated m in early jife—to similar scenes ‘at which the men of ron hearts and iron nerves presided, fwho as. sisted Washington in achieving the indepen- dence of his country—he paid a handsome tribute to the gallant volunteers who fought uader him in his glorious battles in Mexico, to whom he, in his modesty, said the country was indebted for the victories. The rebuke which he administered to Secretary Marcy, General Scott, and Chevalier Wykofi, is dignified and pointed. He referred to the order that stripped him of his best troops, and commanded him to act on the defensive, which, with the halter round his neck, he determined not ‘od reasons, to give h-* to comply with; but, for gw ; veo tle with his smaii! force of 450 regular troops and 4,000 volunteers, against twenty thousand of the enemy. That order, he said, was given at hazard, and in ignorance of his situation and that of tye enemy and the coun’ zy m which he was in; and the -rore he took the responsibility of not com- plying with it. The result proved the seundness of his reasoning, and the wisdom of tus disere- tion There isa remarkable similarity im style, dic- tion and sentiment, between this address and the admirable, piquant, and forcible despatches which emanated from him from time to time during the yecent war with Mexico. No one who has pe- | rused both, ean fora moment doubt that he who delivered the one wrote the others. They are ex- actly parallel. The same common sense runs through all--there is the same modesty and simpli- city in all, the same excellent choice of words, andthe same regularity, order, and aptitude in them to express exactly what the speaker and writer intended to convey, and be understood by those for whom they were designed This stump speech of Gen. Taylor 1s decidedly | the best that has been delivered in the present can- | vase: and we think it very probable that it will sts tent influence in his favor through- exercise ® ys eoming electiolt. out the country in the . | TB RESPOND | Ovr Traveniine Writers Np Gum | rnrs.—The other day we announeed to our renu eve, that we had determined upon sending sever’ , writers from this ; {as e@rrespondents | pf this paper, an rch reliable injermytiow 1 as they could, concetuing the jrospeets of various candidate he count ve Pre- fore Tor sidency, in Ohio, nd other of t debatable States on 1 dul issue | Ny Sinee them, they have gone oa tir | tuovela, and aevers! of their communications have been published in this paper.

Secretary Walker and takers of the recent loan,¢ na tight place at last. Some blame the sub-treasury—others, the tariff; —others, the free some, the English money marke soil movement; but, at all event, are full of trouble, and, urless gre there will be a smash among them before thr months are over. The stories told about the suc- cees of the government financiers, in London, in negociating a loan there, are not believed by every body; and the attempts made here, to whip the devil around the stump, by borrowing the Treasury specie or Treasury noter, contrary to law, tell that there is difliculty all aroand. Secretary Walker has been in town; Secretary Marey has also been here, im consequence of « large rent in his breeenes. And next week will briag fresh troubles with these ating ehquee and s retaries. ed in (annen No, aturday morning the ow storm was exp. on Friday evoming last. | with the firmness, boldness, honest | ed to Never before wae party seen in such a divided, broken and fragmental state as the whig party at the present day—there is a complete breaking up among them. Lake school-boys, at “breaking-up,” they seem to be rushing out of school, seattering in all directions, tossing up their caps, and venting their rage and vexation against taeir masters: Now, all this is precisely as we predicted. The old political land-marks are breaking dewn; the old zig-zag fence hae become rotten—it 1s tumbling down on all sides, and im ite fall precipitates to the ground those who were sitting or nding upon it, We are glad of it. Under the name and influence of General Taylor, aided by the strong sense and strong pen of an in- dependent press and an independent people, we see a new party ansing, which will swallow up all the coteries and cliques of seltsh individual poli- ticlans—and that party is the independent party of the American people. itis both lamentable and astonishing to contem- plate how the people of this country have been led, ruled, and governed by a few, a very few men, who, collecting the masses together in meetings, and con- ventions, (in whch they had every thing ready cut- and-dried for themselves,) afterwards tumed, twisted, used and abused the American people just as they pleased. The reign and misrule of wire- pullers, of selfish, artful, intnguing individu- als, are coming to an end, and we are glad of it. A vicious system of trading journalism first led to and established these shackles, a more noble, bold, and independent system has led to its destruc- tion. The nomination of General Taylor—together 'y, and simpli- city of that truly American hero—will ive a death blow to the clique-government which has hitherto made and un-made, built up or pulled down, the government, which ought to have been that of the whole American people. What astonishing efforts the whig leaders and wire-pullers have made, to get hold of General Taylor, to tie him down and ‘TRE, Broadway—!ni Arronary— | | ue him up, and bind and fetter him, as the Lilh- putians did Gulliver, with all sorts of little pack- | threads, that they mignt have him stretched on the ground, at their mercy and disposal; or lead him about, like a tamed elephant, to carry them en his shoulders, and lift them up to an elevation which does not belong to them! General Taylor is de- serving both of great praise and admiration, that he has remained unmoved by their threats not to take him up, or by their promises and flatteries that they would take him up ; and instead of selling himself to them, and binding himself hand and foot in their toils, has chosen the better and nobler course of devoting himself untrammelled to the service of his country, and of the American people. The malice, hatred, and vituperation of the caucus-men of the whig party will not hurt Gene- ral Taylor; the people will desert these men, these would-be leaders and guides and leaving them to fume and fret at their loss of place, influence, and ower, will go for General Taylor. This is the breaking up of the whig party, of which we spoke; it is the act of the people cutting loose from the men who have Jed them in rank and file for years past, and not suflered them to take an independent step of their own out of the ranks—cutting loose from these drum-majors, and acting for them- selves and their true interests, with such a leader as General Taylor, and such lights as an unbought, unsold, and unhired popular press. As we developed in a former article, the betray- ers of the people have been the men who have con- ducted a press notoriously sold to, and hired by, some clique or party. Atter many years of a hard fought battle, these hireiings have been routed and defeated, horse, foot und dragoons. The New York Herald began the fight, it has manfully car- ned it on, and will never flich from the battle field. The people have seen the spectacle of the contest, and have joined en masse against them, and the result has been the nomination of General Tay- lor, and the emancipation of the American people from a vile system of secret leadership, pettyfog- ging, caucussing, impudent wire-pulling, and base individual selfishness. Medicines and Medical Men. The.medical-profession of this country constitutes a curious feature in our every-day.life. It is divided into two distinct classes, namely, the regular and the irregular practice. Connected with the furmer, there are several hundred medical schools and colleges scat- tered over the United States, and some of the gra duates of those colleges have already attained the highest degree of eminence. We could mention many in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans: and other large cities, who are highly distinguished fot their professional excellence, But the success achieved by many connected with the irregular practice of medicine, is both curious and extraordinary. Some years ago the celebrated Doctor Brandreth commen in this city, the of pills, the secret of which had been discovered by, or confi- dedto him. He advertised liberally, and sent boxes of his pills gratis to various editors. Tuey were found to be good; his name was brought before the public through the papers, and he has now amassed a large fortune, and lives in a palace at Sing Sing, a short dis- tance from the State prison. The doctor diverts his leisure with the exciting game of politics. ™ - “eis & strong old bunker, and will, > Gount, aisplay the has displayed for eever-: years back in dosing the public : ‘As successful in public favor, at least as the Brau- dreth pills, are Doctor Moffatt's Life Bitters. This gentleman owns a magnificent house on Broadws andhis medicines, it is said, bring him in fifty or sixty thousand dollars a year. The popularity of Towrfisend’s sarsaparilla, affords another instance of the success of genius and tact in adveriising. We have no doubt this medicine de- ferves all the praise bestowed upon it. as it purifies the blood, clears the brain, brightens the ideas, and ame- liorates the system, and lightens the purse generally” We have not learned what income it yields, but Doctor Townsend may be considered as among the medical millionaires. Arival to those above named has lately started up in the person of Doctor Kellinger, with genius equal to any of the others, and with a shrewdness, tact, and energy, and, above all, with materials to work it, which will place him in the foremost rank of his profession: He is the discoverer or inventor of a certain liniment’ the virtues of which are beyond dispute, and are vouched for by many of the highest respectability. We have ourselves derived the greatest benefit from its use, and can speak understandingly of its excel- lence. It is used internally and externally, is equally efficacious both ways, and is veculiarly adapted |to this climate. It has of late rapidly made its way in public favor, and its success is beyond question. It. fale hae already been highly profitable, and as it is equally « pable to horses, as to human beings, Doctor Kellinger has a prospect of amassing an i mense fortune. hotel at Yonkers. ,in this State. half e It is situated on an inence about mile from the village + enepas + from Forrest's Castle. alias Motamora’: two 1 pa cet@ands @ beautifnl view of tie Wigwam, st 1 euNroUnding socnery, The maja ixty sjuare, of three —orles, and sur ng} by ¢ Attached to this hendsome cupola ihe laboratory, wher. moun’ buildin. manufactured are tables for tore-room, to whieh th 1 th oratory nta as a pies nities, and is tensive rred tranes dence fort | feason ‘The various patent medi | erated, have succeeded by judicious and Ii | Yertisements in the New York papers, and afterwards in thore published in the larger country towns, The venders of these medicines, thus, like the great actors, getup their pame and reputation im this city, but their protits generally come afterwards from the country.

Jas. Gonpon Bennett, Esq : Dear Sir,—Having writ the Editor of the Journal of Commerce, requesting information as to the extensive, please inform me fully aware that in London, and many other cities in Europe, there are many rights conveyed by said presentation ; but, as Frederic Jerome is already citizen of the United States, 1am at a loss to know what further rights he will posse’s—having made the enquiry of several, who are equally ignorant on the subject. By replying, you will oblige MANY. Remarxs.—We understand the freedom of the city, as granting to a stranger all the privileges of acitizen, so far as the city 1s concerned. Under the Montgomery charter, the Common Council have a right to confer the privilege of voting for city officers, and holding a legal possession of property, though not a citizen of the United States. In the case referred to, it is said that Frederic Jerome, is not a naturalized citizen, and without such action onthe part of the Common Counci! would not, of course, be entitled to such nghts. When Mr. Van Buren was recalled, as Minister to the Court of St. James, upon his arrival he was tendered the freedom of the city, without a resi- dence. We should suppose in the case of Mr. Van Buren, it could be done, without violating the constitution of the State, but, in the case of Frederic Jerome, there 1s doubt whether the Common Council have the nght to step beyond the constitution of the United States, and the State of New York, togrant to any one the rights of a citizen. Jeromeis an Englishman, and, if not naturalized, cannot receive the honors proposed to be conferred upon him, except in violation of all the laws and estab” lished custome of the land. Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatre.—This beautiful theatre was again crowded last evening to see the new grand bal- let of “Esmeralda,” which will now be with- drawn to give place to other novelties. Nothing equal to it has been presented in this city for ® long time. The truthful, expressive, and in. tellible manner in which the story of the piece is told in the pantomime gestures—the brilliant and gorgeous spectacles introduced in every scene—the numberand excellence of the corps de ballet, and the artistioal beauty of the dancing of the celebrated Monplaisir troupe, have combined to secure for this splendid bal- let a most brilliant and successful run. Now that it is about to be withdrawn, it won’t be doing injustice to omit mentioning the admirable manner in which this beautiful ballet has been got up. The costumes, the scenery, the properties, in short, every act and scene, reflected great credit on feel beckery to whom this department was confided. Notwithstanding all their attractions, however, it is a source of much sat- isfaction to us that the be ated drama is again to resume her sway at the Park, when, we doubt not, the enterprising proprietor will secure even more crowded houses than have thronged this theatre since the pro- duction of “Esmeralda.” These are the sto try manager's souls, and we are glad to see that Mr. Hamblin has not been found wanting. To-morrow evening, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert will make their first ap- poscenees im a popular comedy, since their return from Europe, and novelties of no ordinary kind are in pre- paration. Bowrxy Tuxatne.—The present engagement of Mr Hamblin, at this house, has been thus far a most bril- liant one. Night after night the house has been crowd- ed in every part, and the various tragic parts in which he bas appeared have given the greatest satisfaction to the highly intelligent and respectable audiences who have witnessed them. We have never seen Mr. H. act with more spirit and Spa Buea he has during the present week, and his Hauilet, Virginius, Macbeth, and other parts, have all been performed in his best vein. Last evening, he appeared as Othello, and the noble Moor found a fitting representativeinhim, Thescenic# and stage department, which is under the management sk ephens, was admirable; and we have never e en the renate scene, in the first act, so splen- didly got up as it.was last night, ‘The other scenery, too, was most, appropriate and splendid; so that, what with the fine acting of Mr. Hamblin, as Othelio, the excellent Desdemona, of Mrs, Jordan, (who, by the by, took the place of Miss Taylor, who was sick,) and the complete manner in which the remainder of the cha- acters wore filed, the tragedy was played ag admirab) as we have ever seenit done in New York. ‘The grand new ballet of the “ Abduction of Nina” concluded the evening’s performances. Signoera Ciocca, Signor Neri, and Mr. Smith, were much applauded, and their beau. tiful dancing was truly worthy of it. To-night, Mr. Hamblin will appear as Hamlet, and the new ballet will be again played, eo that the bill is one of the best of the eeason, Broapway Tuvatne.—Mr. Collins appeared, last evening in two pleces—as O’Rafferty, in “ Born to toyGood Luck,” and as Morgan Rattler, in “ How to Pay the Rent.” The former is one of his best parts, and the delight of the audience was testified in loud and repeated plaudits, The exquisite humor he throws into his acting was fully appreciated by a very full house; and his songs were enthusiastically en- cored. His Morgan Rattler was equally well received. | Vache, as Count Malf, in “Born to Good Luck,” was excellent; and Andrews, as Old Miller, in “ How | to Fay the Rent,” sustained bis part very ably, with the exception tat he was not always ready with the cue. We regret to observe the’, ith ‘hese exceptions, and the’ of Mrs, Watts, who is never wanting in any- ning the undertakes, Mr. Collins is not well sus- tained by the company. Indeed, the plays have been hitherto, during his engagement, very indifferently ast, There is abundance of strength in the company, for it contains Dyott und Miss Wallack, aud others of much merit; and the overflowing houses that Mr. Collins draws would certainly justify the omploymeat of the very best talent to sustain him, "Sng gubsrdi- tes rhould at least be ~orrect in their parts, as this | | is evem more ¢vential in comedy than in tragedy, | Where effect depends more on the exertions of the | prinerpal actor, than on the co-operation of his cup- porters. This evening Mr. Collins appears as Pierce O'Hara in the “ Irish Attorney,” and as Paddy Mur- | pby in the “ Happy Man,"—two of his best parts. He sings several favorite songs. Nationat Tuxatne.—The entertainments at this | house, laet evening, went off with great cclu’. The | melo-drama of “Joan of Are,” with all its splendid sce" nery, beautiful decorations, and the magnificent dresses of the performers, was much applauded. Miss Mestayer, as the warlike Joan, was excellent; and | Burke, as the valiant Valianto, the pink of the valley, | was as comical as ever. The “Mysteries and Miserivs”? was the next piece, and ail the rich and racy scenes with which this piece abounds. gave as much Satisfac- | tion asever. The scene of the Dutch ball is capital; oor Schnapps (played by Taylor, who was so excel- lent as the old nan in “New York asitis,’) nightly loses nis coat tail in the most easy manner, and his hasty attack on Mose and Sykesey, gets for him rather rough handling from those ready fighters Tho other teenes were equally amusing, and we can truly sa: | that the excitement in favor of the local drama still | keeps up at fever heat, Chanfrau must be making money fast, and we are sure that nobody can grudge it to him, as he certainly. both as actur and manager, has, since he has controlled the National, contributed as much to the amusement of the public as any mana- ger in the Union, The details of the stage are admi- rably carried out, and the stage and acting managers, Messrs, R. J, Jones and C. Burke, deserve much credit for the manner in which they carry out the duties of their position. ‘lo night there will be an execlient bill, wt will be seen by referring to our list of amusements Bunrox's Tuvatnn.—At this favorite placejof resort, | | | last night, a well filled house was the result, in order to greet, once more, that excellent and popular drama: | “ Dombey and Son,” whieh is received each time of its | performance with raptures of delight. got up in a style not to be surpassed, and the chara: ters taken by the different artists are perfect, makin; this piece one of the most interesting dramas ever put upon tho stage,” Mr. Burton, as Captain cure, 1s tne 7 old sailor to peyfection; Major Joe Bagstock, rough and fough ar devilish ely, taken by Mr. Brougham, was Viry good; and Mr. Reymond, as Toots, a nervous | young man, devoted to his tallor and Miss Dombey, | brought, as usvial, great applause; bat you know that's | “no consequence.” Mra, Vernon, Mrs, Knight, Mrs Brougham, and all tbe other Jady perforinors wer? most excellent,“ Bolero de Cadiz,” by Miss V and M, Fredericke, was a very pretty dance. most gracefully exeented, The evening's entertain- ments concluded with the laughable farce ealled, | ‘ Poor Pillicoddy.” Jobn Peter Tillleoddy, taken by Mr, Burton, is a most laughable pivce of acting, Mra.

Niwo’s, Aston Ptscr.—Sheridan’s comedy of “The Rivals” was again performed last night at this magni: ficent house, Mr. II, Placide, as Sir Anthony Abso- Jute, was excellent.

Wirson’s ENtentainments on tHE Sones or Scor- Lanp.—It will be seen, by referring to our advertising columns, thet Mr. Wilson, the celebrated Scottish vo- calist, is about to pay a visit to the United States, and intends giving a series of his entertainments here, on the songs of Scotland. The fame which this popular minstrel has achieved im Europe, 1s at earnest of the success which must attend him in this country. His easy and graceful deportment, his rich yoioe, and his apprehension of th. of bis compositions ia intended to convey, are too well known in the musical world to require reiteration. This gentleman by, his discriminating taste, and in- deftigable industry, has succeeded ix presenting to the world,in Lose le and popular form, some most ex- quisitely touching specimens of melodious, humorous, patriotic, and chivalrous music, and lyrical Scottish, , Which of ight have mm lost to the world. Mr, Wilson was the first entrepreneur in this Seéttish style of entertainment; and though many imitators, stimulated by his success, sprang up from time to time, to rival him in public favor.by taking ad- yantage of his labors, few of them now remain. None however, had the tact, the art, the judgment,and,above all,the musica) feelings of this successful vocalist. In ad- dition to all these qualities, nature has been very kind to him—his voice charming quality, a gentle. ness and suavity that seem perfectly attuned to the interpretation of his “ native wood notes wild.” We venture to say that Mr. Wilson will meet with a cordial reception, and obtain a large share of public patronage in this country. Cunisty’s MinstreLs.—This. company of incompa- rable representatives of Ethi mn Character, arrived in the ofty this morning, and have taken’ rooms at Rathbun’s hotel. Their success during their absence from New York has been triumphant in every city they have visited, and it {s not to be wondered at that it should be s0,as their performances are of the most pleasing and attractive character—chaste, and artistic, end well deserving bo gt ara jularity. They are without doubt, the most original and talented compa- ny of minstrels that have ever appeared in this city. eir success for period of ten menths here, is sufil- cient evidence of their great merit, They will com- mence their concerts at Mechanics’ Hall, on Monday next, where crowds will be sure to greet them. Mr. Harrtos will give another of his most delightfal musical entertainments this evening at the Stuyvesant Institute. This gentleman has been thus far most eminently successful, and the elegant style in which he has got up his entertainments, entitles him to the support of all those among our citize! true artistic excellence and high mui His comic singi is most admirable; be {s no mere broad and coarse comic singer, but his songs are ful! of 3 genuine wit and well-directed satire on the follies of the times.

Messrs, Mianteni ann Levasseun will give another of their elegant philosophical entertainments this evening, at the New Room. Combining, as they do, so many attractions, such as singing, astronomical dia- grams, diaphanous tableaux, entertainments in natural megic, in which optics, hydraulics, magnetism, elec- tricity, &c., are all made available, and also clairvoy- ance, it is not surprising that their exhibition is so well patronized by the most intelligent of our citizens. We advise all who wish for an evening’s rational and in- practire amusement, to visit the New Room this evening. Me.opron.—This well-regulated house is doing a firat- rate business. White’s Ethiopian Minstrels, with their songs, lees, lectures, dancing, ke. &¢., are carry- ing everything before them. It is a most admirable place for family parties. The Kilmiste- Family, and Howe's Circus, are in Fortlend. Mrs. Flynn is in Boston. aaiardoeh was performing in Louisville, Ky., on the J. R.

City Intelligence, Jenomn, THE Sa1LoR.—The gold box, with the free- dom of the city, will be presented to this gallant sailor, at balf-past seven o'clock, this evening, in the Mari. ners’ Church, in Rosevelt street. Alderman Franklin, it is expected, will make the presentation, with an ad- dress, The Rev. Mr. Parker, on behalf of Jerome, will re- ceive the compliment, and reply to the address of pre- sentation. Several persons who were resoued from the burning ship, (Ocean Monarch) will be present on the vceasis -fhe ceremonies will, no doubt, be very Tur Weatnen.—The weather, yesterday, was se- vera] degrees warmer than the day previous, though in the ctl there was quite a heavy frost, which will probably have a blighting influence upon the flower gardens. Again, about noon, it gave promise of an approaching storm. In the afternoon, however, the wind changed westwardly, and the evening was clear and cool, and no signs of rain were visible. . Manice Pensonirinp.—Some time since. it will be recollected, a young ; named Francis Bartlett, committed a forgery for 2 small amount upon his bro- ther, a wealthy merchant in this city, for which offence he was induced to flee the city. It had, for some time, been supposed chat he was laboring under a temporary aberar.ion of mind, for all his past course had been marked by the most honorable transactions.

Where were large sales of treasury notes to-day, at am advance on yesterday's rates of *; per cent. At +he first board mere than one hundred thousand dol- lars worth were sold by one operator. Other stocks remain about the same. The eight hundred thousand dollar loan of the Secretary of the Treasury, on trea- sury notes at per, is the principal topic of conversation in the street ; and it isthe opinion of the most intel- ligent operators, that Mr. Walker can find no act of Congress upon which he can by any possiblity place such a ‘construction as to make sueh # measure legal: The only act applicable to the question, is that au theorising the Secretary of the Treasury to purchas p at any time, stocks issued by the government at par’ out of any actual surplus in the treasury, not other- wite appropriated, or not likely to be otherwise re- quired, to meetany accruing expenses of the govern- mint. Now, itis well known that no such surplus existe, and the Secretary, therefore, has no right to purchase government stocks or treasury notes at any colleague of the War Department, are capable of any- thing, and will not hesitate » moment to carry out any measure they wish Make it for their interest, or that of their friends, and the illegality of the sect is no obstacle. The fect that Mr. Walker has determined to loan eight hundred thousand dollars in treasury notes at par, is sufficient to satisfy most of the specu- lators in Wall street that it will be made. One of the Parties interested in this loan has gone to Washington, and upon bis return the amount will probably be drawn from the independent treasury. A day or two will decide all donbts. Speculators im government stocks, treasury notes, and other securities in Wall street, have, for sometime past, been growling and grumbling about the operation of the independent treasury act, and its restrictions: upon the money market. For sometime past the dis- bursements of the government have been limited, com- pared with its receipts, and the accureulation of specie in the vaults of the sub-treasury has been large. Om the 1st of July last, the total amount to the credit of the government, in the different depositories, was but $1,638,112, of which but $159,037 was in the ide of the assistant treasurer in thiscity. Since that time, by the payments on account of the new loan, and the receipts from duties on imports, the deposits in thie city have increased to nearly three millions of dollarar and in the country to between four and five millions of dollars, the whole of which consists of gold and silver, This accumulation, particularly at this point, has pro- duced a great scarcity of money. It is not merely the withdrawal of three or four millions of dollars in spe- oie frem the banks or from circulation, that causes this derangement in the market ; but it is the effect of this withdrawal upon the movements of the banks, and cons sequently upon individual credit. It contracts the cur- rency three or four times the extent of the specie draim. and produces distrust in commercial circles, and cau-, tion among the moneyed institutions of all our large cities. Such has, undoubtedly, been the effect of the operation of the Independent Treasury act during the past sixty days, and will continue until something is done to arrest the accumulation and reduce the deposits. It cannot be denied that the operation of this financial system, for sometime past, has been any- thing but that imtended by its projectors ; and the same ignorance has bven exhibited by those intrusted with its management as attended former f: cial systems of the government, and which led to those explosions which heretofore proved so disastrous to every interest of the country. It was never intended by the framers of this financial measure that there should be no surplus on hand,. that there should be no accumulation of specie in the hands of the assistant treasurers—and to prevent the possibility of any such thing occurring, « tariff, or what was called a revenue tariff, was simultaneoualy adopted. Itwas intendedthat the reduced tarif would enable the government to carry into operation more successfully and with less injury to the financial and commercial classes, the Independent Treasury act,and that when that system of finance was once established the new tariff would equalize the receipts expen- ditures of the Treasury Department, so that it would not, by any possibility, produce those expansions and contractions in the money market, whieh had hither- to been so frequent and so ruinous. The tariff was, therefore, called a ‘revenue tariff,” and was supposed to be so graduated in ite provisions, as to give an in- come just sufficient to meet the ordinary expenditures of the government. It has now been in operation nearly two years, and the result has certainly been different from that anticipated by the public generally. For- tuitous circumstances have increased our foreign trade, and the importations have been larger than usual; the revenue from customs was, therefore, the first year, exceedingly large, exceeding by severa} mil- lions of dollars the expenditures of the government for ordinary purposes. ‘ihus far, this year, the re- yenue from custoins has’ been large, even with moderate importation,-showing that the average per cent duty, required by the prosent act is above @ revenue point. This is one cause of the accu. mulation of a surplus; and as the Independent” Treasury act and the tariff afe- no more nor less than part of the same system, they should be s0 regu- lated as to work more uniformly together. If any alteration or modification is required, it is in the commercial system of the government rather than in itg mancial system; and there is no doubt from the experience of the past twenty months, that important. changes might be made in the tariff, by which the pub- lic finances would be more equally regulated. The surplus revenue produced within the past two years, by a revenue tariff, cannot be much less than ten lions of dollars; and although the extraordinary ex- penditures of the government during that time made euch an cxcess desirable, now that they have been re- diced nearly to any ordinary standard, any surplus is calculated to injure the operations of trade, and pro- duce contractions from time to time in the currency, by withdrawing from the ehanneis of commerce the precious metals, and locking them upin the vaults of the public treasury. This is the only government in the world which ac- cumulates a surplus, The expenditures of almost al? otbers exceed the receipts, and their debts are annual- ly increasing. It is inconsistent with the duties amd object of any and every government to interfere with the financial affairs of its subjects, by annually draining them of a portion of tieir means and resources. Whatever is drawa from them to carry on the government, shgnid be re- turned again at the carliest moment, und every pub- lic measure should be framed to {ine accomplishment of that end. For this purpose, ‘ne financial and com— mereial systems of this eantry should harmonize | and ajl should be made subsidiary to that policy. Since the adoption af the independant Treasury Act? several large loans have been made; and while the Mexican war continued, the disbursements largely ex- ceeded the receipts. The enforcement of the specie provisions of that act had no injurious influence upon financial or commercial affairs, and the opponents of the system believed that they had magnified its sup- posed evils. It is true that those entrusted with ite establishment had taken the responsibility, from time to time, of deviating from its true and legal construc- tion, and have been governed more by cirew! noes than by the law; but up to the closing of the last loan, no one connected with commerce experienced any in- convenience from the existence of such a system, and had it been properly managed since, we should have had no complaints relative to its injurious effect, and all would have progressed so smoothly and satisfactorily that we should hardlythave known that any change had been made in the financial system of the government. The government owes enough to enable the Seoretary of the Treasury to keep down the deposits, without Tesorting to illegal measures; and {t is only by a proper administration of the business of that department, that the different measures of the government can be made applicable to the best interests of the country. The effect of the recent operation of the Independent Trea- sury act upon the money concerns of the country» particularly of this city, has revived all the opposition of its enemies. Some of the organs of this class of *peculators, opposed to a specie currency, have rec ly been loud in their invectives against the system, and have attempted to show its fallacy by comparing it with the State bank deposite system. The opera- tion! of the Independent Treasury system in the event of an immense surplus revenue, is brought for- ward as an argument againet its feasibility, but it must: be borne in mind, that such a surplus, or even any surplus, is utterly out of the question, if subsidiary systems are judiciously enforced. Suchan illustration is therefore defective. If the Independent Treasury’ tends toa derangement of the currency and of com mercial affairs, by an accumulation of specie in ite the remedy will be found ina further redustion arifl, and not by a resort to walawfi) and ille~ gul measures to reduce the amount on deposite | “60 te 10) Reading RR iN %& N Havew 5) Harlem RIE to nyon 101, on d 40 hong Ixland RE 4 DID Gite 50 Brie RR new, fo!
