matter. Cushmz answered this posi
tion with much point He said that
the most despotic laws were always

terms. He-snowed that this measure
was nothing more or less thsn the es
tablishment of a Government Curren

Treasury notes, in place of those al
ready ordered, paid and cancelled.

Thompson of S. C. went on, upon
the same, side, thoroughly and ably;
silting the motives and intents of the
administration, and the measure to the
bottom. He contended that the pro
posed measure was unconstional, &
inexpedient and, on these two points
was principally occupied throughout
the whole of this very able and con
vincing speech.
Mr. Thompson was for having the
administration come up to the nark,
and acknowledge the truth, and con
fess - that they have no -money,- and
tell the people,- whom they are al
ways slavering with their praise, as it
is said that a man pats a wild horse
that he may ride him, that they are
bankrupts that they all have ex pec ta
(ions which they cannot this moment
realize,' but one day shall; he was for
having the administration present itself
in this, its true attitude, and bring for
ward a proposition, at once, to pledge
their credit lor a loi, to receive thei
present necessities,--and not to estab
lish this paper Treasury currency,
iu coniraniction ei an ineir own pro

ised to aid them with all his might,

the only true ground for thera to take
at this crisis.

A large proportion of this carefully
prepared manifesto consisted of the old
predictions, the nonrealizations of
which have tended to lower the pre

Nor will any person object 4o a proper
measure , of immediate relief to the
ranged and impoverished condition,
from which it never can be effectually
releived but by a recurrence, on the,
part of the Administration, to business
habits, to the dictates of common
sense, and to the practice ot the Gov
ernment belore its disastrous "experi
ments" were undertaken. To liken
tho machinery of our Government to
to that of a rail-road locomotive, the
conductor has run the engine off the
track; and all that he has to do now is
with the help of the passengers, to get
it back to where it was, and take a
