How the abolition 0 credit it the abolition of
moraldy.
Define credit as we w ill, we cannot disjoin
it from public morality. It is always the ex
act measure of the soundness of tlie social
state. What could be more preposterous
then, what more shocking, than for a christ
ian (lovernmcnt, or any Government what
ever to undertake the abolition of credit? Is
it possible that there should be too much,
"redundancy' of public morality? It has
certainly received a shock in the recent dis
asters 01 the country, and urgently demands
the healing, restoring agency of a parental
Government. Yet they seem to have aet
themselves tuejen'itfrom,theJpdjpolitic,
as if it were a foul demon. -
How the Government govern too much.
They govern to much, in presuming that,
if tlie people think they can better their con
dition or promote their happiness by plating
mulberry trees; or trading in city lots, or pro-
, - . 1 . . .
T warming pans to Uie W est Indies, Or K-elo
Calcutta, or New South Wales, or sailing
in a balloon, they will not claim leave to try;
and if they fail, that they will not assert the
right of trying something else according to
their best discretion. They govern too much
in presuming that the people will allow their
private enterprises to be interfered with, or
their private affairs to be superintended by
Government regulations and policy. They
govern to much, in presuming that the evils
of indiscretion to the management of private
affairs can bs better remedied by the action
of Government, than by the experience of
the parties concerned. They govern too
much, in presuming to call the privalo en
terprises of our citizens "wild speculation,"
fraudulent credit," "gambling," "swindV
ling, &cV'&ev; and then proceed to punish
thpjife arts as vices and crimes, without trial,
themselves being the accusers, judges and
executioners. They govern too much, in
punishing the innocent with the guilty a
nation of innocents for a few offenders and
in doing tlie whole by an ex post facto law
of their own devising.
It may be, that many of our citizens have
iey were lor trie inost part honest; "the
make hnste to get rich; they have suffered
for if; and now what do they get from the
Government- of their country? Sympathy,
kindness, help, protection? No such thing.
But they are visited in vengeance, arraigned
as criminals, sentenced without trial, put to
the torture without mercy; aud here we are,
all in the came mass, all dragged to tlie same
doom, whipped and scourged as if we were
a nation of malefactors!
What right have our Government, either
to can the private enterprises of our citizens
vices and crimes, or to punish them as such
by ex postfactocnactinents? If a Russian or
Turkish despot had committed an equal out
rage on hia abject slaves it would rouse the
sympathy and indignation of tlie world.
Speculation,' 'fraud 'gambling 'swindling
These are the charges charges brought by
tlie Government against a free people! And

is a patriotism implied in the compact, and
natural to the case and its relations; there is a
respect which the States owe" to each other,

wrongs done to such parties from such a quar

Heaven that redress, at least relief, is yet in
the power of the American people. They
have suffered much, long, patiently, nobly,
because they respect themselves, and know
their strength and their remedy.

It cant be worte.
- Manifestly the country cannot be worse
by a change of Administration. But '
Ittnust be better.
,.. First, because there ia no geUmg away
from die fact, dial our Government have
brought upon us most of the evils we feci.
A change of policy and measures is indispen
sable to our deliverance. Next, because a
new administration will feel the necessity of
granting relief. 1 hose now in power, can
not and will not da it because diey will not
change, Thinlly, because die new admin

be a very Bble one. fourthly, because diey
well know their fate before die nation, will
depend ou the good they shall do in meeting
die great exigencies of the times.. They
must relieve die nation, or forfeit i's favor.
There ia no other alternative. They have
mr.iutatneJ that the cause of our distrefs ia
bad government." They must, therefore,
prove it by removing the distress. Fifthly;
there i rottenness in Denmark, and it is ne
cessary to get it eat. A long lease of power
to one class of men tenipU to corruption, and
way must be more than human not to yield
tojt. A change is necessary to expose these
corruptions, and bring tlw causes of our trou
bles to light xtmys-enange-wsww--i
ry to maintain our happy form of Govern
ment, and iu free institution. The two
great parties of this country will always re
main nearly equals to watch each oilier, and
every f.;w years there must lie a change.
This is essential to the preservation of our
liberties. If power stays always in the hands
of one party, the leaders would ruin us. This
accounts for the fact, that we are nearly ruin
ed now. It is because the leaders have been
encroaching on the liberties of the people, to
perpetuate their power. As a nation, we are
now on the brink of a precipice. One step farth
erin tlie same direction, may plunge us from a
giddy height, into an abyss whre we may
wail our fall without the hope of relief.
ONE PRESIDENTIAL TERM, NOW AND FOREVER.
A statesman 6f the profoundest political sa
gacity, uncommitted to any party in our coun
try, whose authority is therefore entitled to
the greater weight has said: ''When the head
of the state can be re-elected, tlie evils rise to
a great height, and compromise the existence
of the country. Places become the reward
of service rendered, not to the nation but to

of tlie canker withinr must prove fatal in

give me tlie office I wish for. What is this
but tlie government of one man? And what
is the government of one man but a monar
chy? Names are nothing: but the nature of
a thing is in its substance." How propheucJ
of tlie very position in which we now are
in which that very man is! "Is thy servant
a dog, that he should tk this?"
Gibbon says: "In whatever state an in
dividual unites in his person the execution
xif the laws, the command of the army, and
the MANAGEMENT Of THE REVENUE, that State
may be termed a monarchy."
But we have before us the proposal of one
presidential terx, to rescue us .from these

a succession to the

AWAY WITH PARTY.
Yes, in such a time, away with party, and
go for the country, for freedom, for the con
stitution, for the laws, for deliverance, for
prosperity. He who talks of party now,
who can be bribed by its promises or intim
idated by its threats, who can be swayed by
any less holy sentiments than patriotism and
sympathy with tlie distressed, is a traitor to
his country, and recreant to the love of his
species. t
THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
We have before us a man whom the spirit
of party has never tainted: a man worthy of
our confidence in this creat endeavor to re
deem die nation; a man who has fought die
battles, and cultivated die soil of his country;
who has assisted imnaking her laws, and
presided over.their execution; a man who has

mTIIE'wAY IWNE jbTlN DAVIS'
WIFE'S CAKE DISAPPEARED."
The following interesting passage ia an
extract from the reply of Mr. Halsted, one
of the Representat.vesrom New Jersey, to
the ladie of that Slate on the- presentation
of a Whig banner on the 23d ult:
At die recent Whig Convention held at
Worcester, in the State of Massachusetts,
the lady of Honest John Davis, the present
worthy and able Senator from that Slate,
sent word to the committee of arrangements,
that she had nine beds, in which she eonld
accommodate nine Whig delegate?, or, if
they were good natured men, eighteen; and
she invited 40 or 80 of the delegates to dine
with her. Having made all preparations
for her invited guests, she repaired to the
Convention to hear the Whig orators. Af
ter the (peaking was over, the hurried home
for the purpose of receiving her expected
company; but aha had scarcely reached her
house before die sound of martial music sa
luted her ear. She . approached the win
dow, and there she saw-drawn up before
her door a band of 150 or 200 men, who
ent a deputation lo her to say that they
would do themselves the honor of taking
dinner with her. At this unexpected an
nunciation her woman's heart at first sank
within her, but immediately the good old
genuine Whig spirit, which is always equal
to any emergency, (particularly when it
has a da.h of Bunker Hill blood in it) ralli
ed, and by its recuperative energy at one
restored her to her wonted composure.
And what tlo you think she said? "Gen
tlemen," said she, 'lhe string of my dooi
is never pulled in. Yon are welcome to
partake with me my log cabin fare.? Watk
in, ffenllemen." They did walk in, and
she atlitnce seLJtbQutcnlarging her tables
and replenishing her board with provisions
for this accession of unexpected guests; and
with that admirable- management which is
characteristic of Yankee as well as Jersey
matrons, she was soon able to accommodate
tlie whole of her guests, exp'cled , and un
expected, for they ate and were filled.
How many baskets of fragments there were
left, I did not learn; but, 1 suppose, at least
enough to supply all the poor in the neigh
borhood for a week to come. In her letter
to her husband, this Bay State Whig ma
tron says "that tlie wine and water, beer
and hard cider, flowed in streams, and the
way that honest John Davis' wife's cake
disappeared was a caution." When Honest
John received this letter, describing in
those true. and graphic colors which a wo
man's pen alone can give to such, a scene,
he was sitting in the Senate . Chamber, and
as he read it, the big rotund lean coursed
one ano:hcr down hit mttnly cheek;" and
as he wiped them away, he said to himself,
"what a fool I an) to be ao affected." Af
ter he had perused the letter he handed it
to Rlr W ebster Jay ing, .' J here- Webster,
you say you take pleasure in reading my
wife's letters, read that." Webster took
the letter, and, as he read. Honest John
watched the workings of his noble features,
and he soon saw the tear glistening in his
C 9
bronzed cheek of this intellectual iriant. and
bronzed cheek of this intellectual giant, and
Honest John said to himself, Well, I'm
n3t so great a fool neither" When Web
ster had finished reading, he drew a long
breath, grasped the hand of Honest John,
and said, "Sir, it is the finest letter I ever
read in my life " Now, my fair hearers,
have you any idea of the worth of such
fair Whig as that? I tell you such a Whig
is worth a kingdom, and the tears which she
drew forth from the eyes of such men as
John Davis and Daniel Webster were more
irecious than all the gems that ever spark
ed in a royal diadem.
LOOK OUT WHIGS, EVERY WHERE!
There is something really alarming in the
tone of the subjoined article, which we copy
from the Newark Daily. Advertiser (a high
ly respectable point) of Monday last. This
is not the only intimation we have had that

the office-holders to enable them by force or

the instrument to effect it. The first trp hi al

in the conspiracy, A startling report, such at
the death of Geo. Harrison, may be circulated
throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York,
just on the eve of the election, and every Whig
paper contradicting it be suppressed.
This scheme accounts, for their confidence in
the success of Mr. Van Duren, notwithstanding
their overwhelming defeat in almost every State
ia which there has been an election. This ac
counts for the extraordinary declaration of a lead
