VICTORIES, &C., &c.-About two years
ago when the combined powers of banks
and federalism had brought the country
nigh to ruin, when monopoly. speculation
and fraud had usurped the high places OF

ly proclaimed that they were the 'Demo-
cracv ofnumbers," and that the only state
that the OLD Democratic party could with
certainty claim, was New Hampshire. -
Then federalism, with its concomitants.
banks, monopo!ies, &C., was rising, and
had acquired much strength as the afTic-
ted and bank ridden country sunk. The
Democrats saw, with regret, the then
state Of things; thov also saw that specu-
lntion, stimulated by wild banking, wa,

collected from the people to dcfray gov
ernment expenses was deposited in banks,
40 remedy could be found for the evil,
