Presidential ehrir without having evinced the possession of superior talents or un usual attainments; without having previously performed illustrious services; and w'-thout hav ing incurred even one solitary sacrifice. The whole country is poasessed with the strong con viction thai his history praseata a naked and barren so r lace, as far as talents and twvjcet are involved; whilst the moat esthusisstie friesd, who raises' a voice or wields a pen in hie serriee, is eonfbuftded hy a demand of those essentials which, entitle Air.

Ve, fellow-ciUaena, Mr. V an Buren baa been elected President of this preat and eipand-.i I0(reoonu7, by having earhed a recommendation' from General Jackaon, by a lonjf syatein.ofdia- gustful, di 'graceful and detestable subserviency, seeophanoy and flattery. It was enougn lor General Jackson lhat Mr. an liuren ushered the.decUralion abroad that it "wa. aaulliciencj of glory lor hint to have s-rvea unaer sucii a ehief;" and it ia sufficient to stimulate Mr. Van Buren to tread ia all the ruinous paths of his "illustrious predecessor," that General Jackson endorsed his pretensions. We say. then, thai the spirit of liberty was profaned and desecrated, and its substance was . i it i ted awsy in the election of Mi: Van Uuren, by subscribing to the doctrine that a President o( the Lnited ."States has a rigui 10 appoini hi successor. Shall we ripen this bold and airrtlinif usurpation of power into an established precedent, by re-appointing Mr: Van Buren to the responsible station which hs now occupies I By hurlin? him from the Presidential chair, wa will deliver to the world a reversal of the peril ous, hasty and ill advised decision which was made at the last election, lhat will restore the eleelive liberties of thia country to their wonted viyor and purity. By reappointing him, we will be making a final and unreserved surren der of llin man precroni boon whtcb the patrlms of the revolution have transmitted to us, that of selecting the most important officer of the Republic. To Illustrate the alarming nature of the attempt, on the part of the uoveru.ng power to selrct the future depositary of the ' reins of authority, we will aoirgest to our fellow-citiaens that the people of England were rnce thrown into a state of tumnlt, which scorned to threaten the entire prostration of liberty and law, by a partial attempt, on the part of the reigning mon arch, to designate a successor. And it is almost a work of supererogation to remark that every President of ihis country, from him who was "first in war, first in peaoe, and first in the ha'aila-of faiaeountrynierty? up tu General Jaekaon, considered it such a flagrant usurpation of liber ty, and such a grosa and unpardonable irlsull to the majesty of the popular will totnumate a preference (ot any particular individual as their successor, that they cautiously forbore to drop even bint on die sub ject.

" We do, most unhesitatingly dec'are, then, that we believe it to be eminently due to the future safely of liberty in this Republic to discard Mr. Van Buren from bis present station, apart from the ruin sn4 confusion he has entailed upon the country, by tiesj-'idtedneasJgllB andjnfotuation t cwjtiit Ttieinrtrreyr wr-tn fntmont w mwr ffrof uuren ue reeirusu 'w riosincin-j, uio peoi pie may resiga, in silent eesnatr, all hopeofi participating iatbe future choice of their rhief mngistrstes.

What, for instance, can bs more absurd in its n.ture, more ruinous in its tendencies, or m irs insulting lo the sound sense of sn intelligent people, than the stiempt to palm s specie currency upon them, when s paper currency ss the repre- snt.tive orsiecie, bis been in use in tin. coun try during every period in tbe history of our Gov ernment, remits somrapnesmsot uolii Ihe -feti4 time. When, too, it would be as fatal to our . commercial and agricultural intere.ie, to withdraw the paper money now in circulation, as it would he to sever a right arm from the human frame? Does it not occur to every reflecting mind, that should the public revenue he here after collected purely in specie, that alt the silver and gold in circulation will desert the smaller towns in then nfedersey, and the country places, and lake up their a bod a in the large towns and cit ies, where the revenue is collected.' Is it not as clear at any pn-poaitton can be.tbat when there will b- hereafter a continual demand for specie in Ihe Northern ciliea tu pay the duties on foreign goods, that the hanks will be afraid to discount note, srbteb mny be presented te them; for fear of a continual run being made upon them for specie? must it not also follow, when the power of ihe banks to make loans to the people is crippled and contracted by the operation of the Sub-treasury scherbethat the power of the people to pay iheir debts, and engage in honest entei prise, and trade j- w ill be vastly diminished! uan any rationil mind be induced to question the propositi h for a momeh; "thttt when tilr'ef arid gold, ehal I be come the currency of the Government, and pa-, per the currency of the people, that the value ot all the paper money in circulation will be sub jected to an alarming and ruinous depreciation!

Thus a state of tlngsA'lll once more be brought around, which will be incomparably worse and more distressing, than the era of proclamation money. Millions of paper money which now.answera all the purposes of specie, will fall dead and useless in the hands of the honest farmers, merchants and mechanics of the land; and a season of depres aion and calamity will be realized, which beggars the powers of delineation. Does not such a cilsis as that here described already state ns in the face? VVhet is it, fellow citizens, 'which has cauaed our hanks to suspend speeie piymentsl Nothing else than the ruinous measures of the late and of the present Administration. It could not have resulted from the measures of those op posed to the Administration; for they have nev er possessed any' controlling power in the' Gov ernment or councils of the nation; and in addi tion to this fact, they have been uniformly and universally opposed to the experiments and meas ures of the party now in power. But apart from these impressive facts, connected with the histo ry of our pecuniary relations, yon will discover thal'previoua to the high-handed, lawless and ru inous experiments of General jackaon and of Mr. Van Buren, upon our monetary concerns that the people of this country were in the unmolested possession and enjoyment nf share of prosperity and happiness which scarcely has a precedent In the history of civil ised man.

THE EFFUSIONS OF PARTY SPLEEN. The Standard wishes to diffuse the im. pression among the people, that our present pure and patrtotic Executive Governor Dud ley is influenced entirely by party consider ation in -making appoihtmenta to efilee. Now. it is impossible for -party malice to suggest an allegation which ia more stri kingly false than this i. Governor Dudley has appointed to the Internal Improvement board one V. Buren man, wb.en the Board is only composed of three members, and he has al so appointed ff gentleman whokan influential member of the Van Buren party, a member of the Literary BoanLwhcn . that Board is only composed of two persons besides the Governor himself. The Governor, it ia true, appointed Major II inton, who is an accepted member of the whig party to the office of Treasurer. But it should be re- aiid apart from this, no rational person woul object to such a judicious appointment as ihat,-f major Hinton's, even if there had bwrUkfibtitof Van Buren candidates for the situation, for he is a gentleman eminently qualified for the station, both on the score of integrity and competency. Our neighbor of the North Carolinian, does us greatly more than justice in expres sing the belief that we might be able to con tribute much valuable information to the fur therance of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Rail Road enterprise. We, however, cordially appreciate the kind feelings which has dic tated the expression of such ah opinion on his part. He has riot mistaken our feelings either in supposing that we are heartily de Voted to the consummation of a scheme which would be calculated to reflect so many and sueh precious benefits on the State. And we hope, in addition to this, that our friend of the North Carolinian will now give over the pursuit of Mr. Deberry, for at least asAor , and devote his liberal at tainments to the internal improvements of the State. U. S. BANK, dec &c. Nothing could more effectually attest the gross insincerity, the deep insensibility to in flicted wrongs', and the hardened, and inflexi- tblalajn the audacious effort they are now making, In every part of the country; to brand' the United Slates Bauk with infamy ibx its late suspension of specie payments. The ob ject of this effusion of spite upon that insti tution ia as obvious as any thing can be. They first strive to prove that the United States Bank has been the author of our pe cuniary distress, and the next trick in order, is to identify this institution with the whig party. But the truth is, that the U. S. Bank is not a whig institution; for it ceased to be so after its career as a National institution, had been once finished. As long as that in stitution breathed a national existence, the whigs endeavoured to perpetuate its being, because it had answered every purpose of iu first creation mote fully than any human institution was-ever known to do. They also exerted themselves to parry the mali cious and wicked assaults whieh were con tinually made upon it by General Jackson, because these' assaults were not , warranted by the laws of the land; because they were made in pursuance of his vindictive feel ings against that institution; and moreover because the effect of this savage warfare Jrainst the .Bank would i bo to cover-the I . ... .. , , , country wilh those evidences of deep and doleful distress which we now see in circula tion, every where. The whig party, as past history informs us, failed in their patriotic efforts to rescue the Bank. It fell a victim to the caprice of General . Jackson. A large portion of the stock belonging to the Bank m pursuance ol Ihire-Houoo: col. a o.ru... was vested in a State institution of the saint; liaHeTanilljEWhigve nection with it.They are therefore just aa little to blame for any thing which the U. S. Bank has done or can Jo at this time, as 'they are for any results nf maladministration which can take place in the other State institutions through the country.. Nothing, then, can be more outrageously, maliciously, and pal pably false, than to attach blame to the .whig party for the recent suspension by the-Uni- ted States Bank. Bnt the Administration presses ore just as much at war with the principles of justice and the dictates of truth, in censuring the Uni- j lul fitutAS TO-inb r..f itm .nannnainrt rtf SrVHOIf I payments, as they are in ascribing the mis doings of that institution to the Whig par ty. It is like Maiming a giant for not tie fenJirg himself when firmly bound with cords, to censure the .United States Bank for its late suspension oft specie payments, the party now in power brought it to its pre sent depressed condition, by first devest ing it of its national character, and by then carrying on an unrelenting system ofwara gainst it. Every person who has observed the contents of the Van Buron Journals, for a long time past, must have inevitably per ceived t(hai,iJjt.v.hfU!9P.M4.-.V(n oflhe administration was to cripple the power and prostrate the credit of the United S. Bank. The constant cry of these very humane and patriotic presses w as that the monster had not been killed, that it had been only stun ned, and that it was therefore necessary to put the finishing stroke to it. Well, they have partly succeeded in accomplishing this grand ohject of their, ambition. The Bank has suspended specie -payments, and the country is now' reaping in profusion the bit ter fruits of the unholy and maddened cru sade. ..., 1 But the Van Buren organs ought at least to evince the appearance ol candor, if they possess - not the reality. They ought tu boast of the triumph which tliev ha-ve finally schieved " tver the Uiiiled States Bank. They ought to glot j in the ruinous consequences which they openly professed some time since to be aiming at. They might, under such circumstances, earn the praise which is due to candid malevolence, though they would still be a St a jj s a . . a oranueu in every aooue ol blasted prp- t with the execrations dae".1!" un re.- if -. eYliTrg7iojrte ' IS ine ex ire me 10 throw a brand amidst highly combustible elements, and then flee from the destrac tiont and charge it t 4he trmoctht---- - AN EXPRESSIVE DEVICE. We see many of the Van Buren sheets adorned with the engravings of 'tleraj)ly 'sniptious looking schooner.sjsfTed the "Federalist," which these very, facetious gentry have graciously informed ns is bound for ihe colony of Salt River. Now, this very ingenious device lias been adopt ed by the Loco Foco vapourers by way of ridiculing the ill success which they sup pose has befallen the Whigs, in the late e lections. Well, if the sins of the Whig par ty can be cured by ablutions in Salt River, or any other stream it is saying something to the credit of the Whigs.. It is admitting that their errors and defects are -not past remedy. As for the Van Buren party, ev ery person will admit that their bacon is so badly spoiled as to defy salt water or any other application to cure it. OUR HARD WORKING PRESIDENT!

"Bat thftTre--ident of iliis country, who receives 025,000 per year, (which sum amounts to a fraction over $2083 per month,) for transacting the business of the nation, may absent himself from his post for the long space of three months, at)d it is all right with his Loco Foco understrappers. Yes, Mr. Van Buren has been drawing more than 2009 per month during the past season, for three months at a stretch, for eating what were formerly termed big dinners," for drinking royal wines, for shewing off large before the great folks of the land, for making stump speeches add miserable harangues against his political op ponents. ,This is all right in a President of the United States, who receives twenty Jive Ihouiand collar i a year for his servjeies. But if an honest and hard working cropper, who receives from ten to fifteen dollars per month for .his labor, were to desert his post for only a Week or lwo.r-why, his employer would ne mad enough to 8W- tho .dorrs upon him.

The Tory Journals are trying to pliyit their little stock of wit' upon the run 4 M. M. Noah. This is no wonder, for M Major is a sharp and lasting thorn in Ar' sides. They say that the initials of ft Major's name when he sold himself to ill United States Bank, stood lor More ifoiuf Nicholae. According to this way ofoV ciphering the first letters in a name, thet the initial letters in the name of William X, Price, when he ran awar with 200,000 1 the public monies, stood for With MarlU'i Fetmittion.
