THE MERCHANTS AND THE ADMIEISTRATlON'

 A writer in the Register who signs himself" Jack Van Buren & Co are the enemies of the merchants, asks if Congress uhe extra session. twas not called together and measures taken expressly for their ree We answer, no! When the merchants sent depu- tation to the President and asked him to call Con- gress together immedatelys he refased But when his and the office holders were likely to be inconvenience ed for the want of their pay, he then announced that .'great and weighty matters demanded the assem- blaze of the Representatives As soon as they were together, he told them that the merchants expected too much of the Government-they had brought on their distress by extravagance and overradng, and he then recommended his odious Sub Treasury sys- tenn, which was designed to crush the banks and the merchants with them, and leave them and the farm- CTS and mechanics connected with them to do tEeir future business on dscredited and depreciated bank paper while the office holders were to be paid their wages in gold and silver, with which they could buy twice as much food and raiment the merchant far rags for the transaction of their business. Every n- tclligent man knows this-he facts may be found in the speech of Mir Rives, the Van Buren Senator from Virginia.

Jacksons letters to the ed tors 1.-the Globe-in which he says" From the con favOrs from the government which they have attempt ed to disgrace, and to destroy its credit both at home and abroad" Yet in spite of all these things we are told that the administration is friendly to the mer- chants and the commercial interests! We envy not the feelings of the merchant who s so craven spirited as to yield his support to an admlnstratlon thst has heaped SO much abuse upon hisprofesson and thrown so many obstacles in the way of his prosperity as hs one has done. Ifthere were many such we should he inclined to think the profession deserved the opprobr N. HapeR Palladium.
