is well adapted to give increased
strength and permanence to the party in

of ourrrpublican theory of government,
and the great peril of popular liber-
Among the positions once sedulously
lii'aintiiinetl, but uow discarded by Mr.
Van Buren and his friends, was the
superior safety and efficacy of the
State Banking Institutions, over indi
viduals, as the fiscal agent of the
General Government. Unon this
point, we cite two extracts from -the
report of Levi Woodbury Secretary of
the Treasury, made U Congress in l)e
ceii.ber, .183-1.
"It gratifying - to reflect," said
Mr. Secretary Wuodbury, "that the

whether lo bank paper or bank agents,
ha been accompanied by emallerlosses
iti the experience under the system of
State banks in this country at , their
worst period, and under their severest
calamities, than any other kibd of
credit, the Government has ever given

It will be seen, from the above ex
tract, that Mr, "Woodbury is, or was
