Our currency 1s now independent of and unintluenced by the ex- cesses of trade, Our inland trade has a sure rotection against over imports and politi mis- kes. The abundance or scarcity of gold does not contro} the action ef our bank ofiicers or the busi- ness of the country. There is now @ stability and contidence in our ‘currency and credits throughout | this Union that never existed before, and would not continue for one year if we returned to the quick- sand bases of gold and silyer. We urge this truth upon the attention of the country, because we # political ery that would prostrate all branches of trade, It is within the recoilection of many that when General Jacksou removed the government deposits from the United States Bank and placed the public treasure in the State banks a reckless peculation in our public lands = was. he consequence, To stop this specu- lative mania General Jackson caused an order of the Treasury be issued demanding a payment in Specie at the land offices for all lands purchased. ‘The effect of this reckless order was to drain all the specie from our seaboard banks and overthrow all the business interests of the country. We avo in debt to Europe, and every year is adding to this indebtedness, and so anxious is the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer our whole national debt to that country that he appears to be willing to throw in our national honor with {t and verify the sayings ot Poor Richard, that “Lying rides on debt’s back,”? and that “Anempty bag cannot stand upright.” As long as we are a debtor's country: our currency cannot be the same as our creditors’ 1 As a further illustration of this position we may refer to republican France. Her debt and currency are much greater than ours. The great sums of money that have been and are being obtained upon her credit far exceeds all that we have been sub- jected to. Notwithstanding all this, France fiuds erseif able to sustain a specie currency, and why is this so? France is not indebted to ony. other country. Her rulers, like those of Great Bri borrow money from their own Peco. Hence there 1s no drain of specie to pay {fn country. It 1s left to the great republic to pursue a policy that makes our people “the hewers of wood and drawers of waters” for our masters in finance on the other side of the Atlantic. We can safely prophesy that our indebtedness to Europe will pre- vent us from resuming specie payments, for six consecutive months, during the next fren ur in Europe, ‘itain, nterest to a foreign JONATHAN OLDBUCK. _.
