TELE WORTH - C ARO ILE WI AW was until lately denounced as intended to "unite the purse and the sword," and to ena able officials to rob the country at their lei sure, and the project of any thing resembling a Bank reform was assailed as . the wildest agrarianism a branch of a scheme of univer sal plunder the entering wedge to designs, not only contemplating an overthrow of the rights of property i I but likewise the subver sion of religion and morals either of these measures was to be the ruin of the republic, and both together were to convert it into an earthly Pandemonium. But now, the appeal to fear, to passion and prejudice the weak attempt to play upon weakness and terrors; haviu been found unavailing, they who were once so loud and boisterous in opposition, strike their flag and concede with the best grace they can, that these things are not af ter all quite so frightful as they represented them to be that perhaps their workings will be rather for good than for evil. This is nearly the history of every strug gle made by the democratic party. The first movements are received with derision anon fierce misrepresentation is resorted to, and finally, the point is either given up, or en deavors are made to appropriate the credit cf the victory. into a miserable tool of foreign bankers and brokers. The debtor is the slave of his cred itor all tho world over, and there is reason to fear that the triumph of the great credit sys tem over the property of the people, will be consummated by the subjection of their Gov ernment to a foreign money power. The past and the present are sufficiently appalling; hut the. future is enonirh to make every man the. honor and independence of his country, shudder and turn pale. If the neonle do not stir themselves up, and breast the storm now rumbling at a distance, but every moment approaching more near, they will wake up anon, and find themselves the bondsmen of the great mammon of the credit system, tied hand and foot to the will ot a set of money changers, who, in day3 of yore, were driven from the lemplo ot Jerusalem Dy the Saviour of mankind. 1 A L la sion of military and music ana ueiegaies ui afternoon was immense the spirit and con fidence of our friends unbounded. lbe Theatre could not Degm i and the whole procession marched to tne puu- ic square, where the organization aim - natiou took place. .

The Federal presses are prating about the unanimity of the "whigs" (as they have still the impudence to call themselves) in the no mination of Gen. Harrison. AYe have a few samples of this unanimity before us. Mr. Benuett, who published a paper called the New York Herald, says that Van Buren car ried that State against Harrison by 2S,0tJO majority, and asks what is to prevent him from doing so now. He declares the nomina tion of Harrison, after "such an expenditure of talent and wisdom, aud influence and pa triotism, bv the Convention," a miserable farce. Hear what he further says: "There has been in the "whiff" party for ten years past, a railing against all Military Chieftains by the lump. 1 hey would not- they could not should not touch such ar ticles. No, not they. Well, what of it! The very first chance they have, they not only se lect a 'military chieftain,' but select one of the weakest, oldest, aud superanuated ot all the lot. All those military chieftains, now before the nation, who possess talents, energy, fresh . ness, vigor of body and mind, are passed over, and the very one whose right foot is in the grave, and the other hard behind, is the cream of their choice. Oh! most lame and impotent conclusion of whig wisdom." "The whole history of this intrigue, from beginning to end, with the manner in which the real and original friends of Gen. Scott and Mr. Clay have been outgeneralled, out witted, outvoted, and most cruelly cheated, we shall give at length in a few days. Mr. Clay is finished, but Gen.

In this way it is enabled to sustain its staggering credit, by paying from ten to twelve per cent, usury. What is most re markable, however, is, that the credit of the Bank rises with every new exhibition of its insolvency, and the worse the bargaiu made by Monsieur Jaudon, the greater his reputa tion as a financier.

Washington, Jan. 7, 1840. My Dear Sir: I enclose an extract from the Intelligencer, which will show you what those who are opposed to me are making of the letter of your correspondent, republished in that paper. 1 know not who your corres pondent is, nor have I any reason to believe that he was actuated by any unkind feelings towards me in writing the letter; but I must say, be his feelings what the may, he has not placed me either la my true position or one that is agreeable to me. I am no aspirant to the Presidency, or ever expect to be. To hold me up as such is to do me great injus tice, and weaken me in my effort to carry out the principles and policy for which I have long contended,, aud which I hold far more dear than any thing in the gift of the Gov ernment or people. To accomplish an ob ject I hold so high is and has been the sole motive, for many years, for my remaining at my post here; and whenever I find that my presence is no longer of any avail towards it, i shall cheerfully retire, leaving to others to struggle for an hour, which, however high or worthy of contest, has long had but few charms tor me. As to the political movements here. to which your correspondent alludes, in rela tion to what he calls "the succession," and which he savs is absorbing every thins else I know nothing. If they exist, he does wrII u representing me as passive as to what is going on. All who know me know that there is not a member of Congress who takes less interest in that to which he alludes.

The Horious 8th was celebrated by an lm mense number of Democrats assembled in the large Dining Hall of the American IIo tel at 7 o'clock in the evening Col. Samue Spanglcr, of Fairfield in the chair. Among those who wcie toasted and addressed die mpntm.o-. was Gov. Shannon. -'He addres sed the company in his usual happy manner.

He looked upon this condition of things as beyond the means of legislation to cure by new expedi ents, but only by a rational system of cuitail ment in oubiic loans and private credit. The cure is not in getting further in debt by new- expedients of a doubtful character, or sucii as must only add to the already great embarrass merits. In lact his views on all these ques tions were sound and clear that no one i res ent could fail to be convinced.

Harrison we had in view the express words of Gen. II., when we pen ued our remaik and we proceed to answer the questions of the 74f, by the citation of our proof. In the year 1833, in a Fourth of July Oration delivered at Cheviot, Ohio, Gen. II., after much sound doctrine on the subject of the constitutional inviolability of slavery in the States, and censure of the abolitionists, uttered the following unfortunate declaration: "Should I be asked, if there be no way by which the General Government can aid thr cause of emancipation, I answer, that it has been long an object near my heart to see the whole of tho surplus national revenue m.r.m. printed to that object. With the sanction of the States holding slaves, there appears to me no constitutional objectiou to its bein thus applied, embracing, not only the colonization of those that may be otherw ise freed, but the puicnase ot the freedom of others. By a ca.ous piosccuuon ot a plau formed upon mis uusis, we might look forward to a day, not tar distant, when a North American sun would not look down upon a slave."

John Randolph of Il-.rinoke, durin rhe Session nf 1S-26, ii thi Senate ofthe United States, charged him with it "face to Cu;e " Here was a fi le oppor tunity alT rd. d him of denying the charge. Didbt do it? .o, Iu could not, it was quite the reverse,) admits it. "fie who runs may read." "For by thy words thou shall be justified, and bj thy words tho i shalt be condemned." What Am General Harrison say in reply to Mr. RanJolpIt's charge? hoar him: "He has been pleased to say, that umicr the administration of Mr. Adams, I was a Federalist, and he comes to that conclusion from the course pursued by me in the ses sion of 1799 1SO0. The jjentleman had no means of knowing my political principles unless he obtained them in private conversation, As I was on terms of intimnev with the gentleman, if is very probable that he mirht have heard me express sentiments favorable to the then ad ministration. I certainly fell, thorn." Zlc. The Carolinian asks, "has he rcoanteJ his parti ality fr an alien and svlitioi Jaw, in time ofthe older A Iims?" T-i i Observer answers, "that there is not the s!i?'itest evi lence of his ever having en tertains! such parti ilitv. The public has long since discovered that the unsupported assertions of the Carolinian, are not evidence." In leed, one would suppose that tho Observer meant to 6uFusofffrom its tone; the mouth piece of tho Opposition party, evidently evinces much fear that the truth should be known to the people, but "he reckons without his host." We give "evidence, chapter and verse." In 1799, during the sedition law and black cock ade administration of John Adams, General Harri son admits, "I was on terms of intimacy with the gentleman, (Mr. Randolph,) it is very probable that he might have heard me express sentiments favora ble to the then administration. I certainly felt them." What is the inference? Certainly that he was Federalist in 1799. W hat proof have we that he has ever recanted his Federal notions? Mr. Jeffer son was inaugurated in 1801, and was succeeded by Mr. Madison in 1809, both served out two terms, making sixteen years, during which time, heaerved in a civil, as well as in a military capacity. Hare we any evidence of his having recanted his Federal notions within that period? None. In 1817 com menced the memorable administration of James Munroe; there was an amalgamation of parties, and for the first time since the defeat of John Adams, ft 1801, Federalism dared to show its front, he served until 1825 eight years. Have we anv evidence of his having recanted his Federal notions within that period? None. But if history is to be believed, he still adheres to them. In 1818. a series of resolution know pects before us. We have the greater right to do this, as every citi zen is entiled to a-k f..r a pe-p b-hind t:i!; cur tains into bank op rations, on aeco-iut of the le.rire amount of stock owned bv t'se ??:.
