might be saved by a timely interference. We be-
lieved you, and elected you to Congress. The
Banks had all stopped payment, and held on to the
public money, and you asked to send you to Con-
gress to the peoples interest promoted. We
agreed to do it. Ever since your election we have
been looking with the deepest anxiety to know the
position you occupy, and to hear your plans upon
the great questions of public finance. But it was
underlined in 1886, and it is underlined still. You
opposed every thing ts true, and proposed nothing
then but the people are reasonable, and gave you
time to deliberate, and afterwards you to Do
Cs GooD."


We have heard rant enough. We are tired of
abuse. We are worn down with long speeches and
foolish talk We want to know plainly and honest
ly what you mean to DO for us. Do you mean to
propose nothing and oppose all that others recon-
mend, your whole term, and yet expect to be re-
elected? L? The government must have revenue
Some must collect it, and it has to be dsbursed
in some form, for national purposes. Now if you
intend to deal frankly with the people, tell US what
is your plan Openly and manfully propose your
measures, and let the people understand you


We have watched the proceedings of Congress
attentvely for two years. We have been in no
haste to make up opinion. We expected propo-
sails from the I" Whigs,'' and wishing to hear both
sides and then adopt the best scheme, we have wait
ed to understand what you intended to offer as
substitute for the administration "experiment."-
Is it not high time you had proposed it? Congress
must adjourn in a few weeks, and you have no time
to lose.


All men of all parties admit that some laws are
necessary to protect the public money and regu-


late it. We want the best Ian for this purpose, no
IL, IL.
have sense enough to know that even /" bad law is
better than none." How Go you expect to
choose when you oppose every thing and propose
nothing? This is exactly the way the Federalists
acted during the war, and that made them un-
popular. 1t was disgrace to them and it will be
disgrace to you to do the same. The Federaists
were not opposed to defending the country-not
they! but they voted against all the revenue bills
and proposed none better-none at all. Doyou mean


to follow in their footsteps"


There have been three modes proposed, al diffe-
rent times for keeping and managing the public
money. Do you oppose all and propose none =
Then you are " improbable servants


1st. The State Bank system. You called it " the
Pet Bank system aud each and all of you declared
it was corrupt" system that ii put the "purse
and sword in the same hands,; y that it " augment
ed executive patronage )" that it had produced dis
tress and hard times. Well, then: you can never
be for this ! AS you opposed before it exploded
you will hardly be for it after the Banks have blown
up and held on to the Government money When
those who have found out by trying it, that it will
not answer wise purpose, you surely do not mean
TO take it up. IF you do-speak it out! If you do
not there is end of it, for of its old friends
or foes attempt to renew it, so far as we of North
Carolina are concerned. The Halfway house, as |
Mr.. Clay calls it, place just fit to stop at for a
night don't suit any of your Constituents. So we
need not dwell on that topic.


2. There is the Independent Treasury system
You are all opposed to that TOO. The President has
recommended it and you have resisted it earnestly.
But then you propose no other. Do you find your
selves unable to do so


The Presidents Message invited you to tell him
4 better plan if you opposed his. Suggest one. Is
he subject difficult and unmanageable AS
patriots and enlightened men, it is your duty to
PRoPosE plan If you not able to do it, and
will yet OPPOSE this because The President is in
avor of it, then you ought to plead Ignorance and
7uh Congress. Opposition to every thing is fac
ious hostility to the Government!


3. But there another. National Bank sys-
em. We have tried that experiment, and got sick
If it in North Carolina and some of took pains
o of its conceptions, its dangers and its
If you have changed your
minds, why have you never proposed the scheme to
Congress But to make short yarn oft:


Either you are for the Bank or against it.


Ifyou are against it, then you still at
stand still" Opposed to The Presidents plan,
Ind opposed to the Bank; opposed to all the other
'lans, and not able to devise another-good or bad


II, on the other hand, you National
Bank, your having failed to urge it upon Congress
or these two years and more is proof that you are
to conceal your sentiments, and the
people ought put you for that Or it is proof
hat you are not competent servants of the Repub-
ic; holding sentiments that you dare not propose
n the House, when you were sent there for the
purpose of making the best laors for the people.


You abuse the Administration you heap curses
N Van Buren-but for what If their sub Treasu-
y is bad law, they asked you to propose better,
md they deserve credit for trying to perfect some
ystena, and for letting the people see and know
heir views. But for you, it is qitethe reverse.
You do nothing but oppose -oppose-oppose-
