On lis being invited to the east front of the Exchange, he was received with the well come cheers of the assembled multitude. He thcn addressed the people in his own pe- cnliaf and happy manner, to the following effect:

 Friends ard Fellow Citizens-l hate to thank you in the first place, for the very kind reception you have given me; and Ill the second place shall say a few words about the conduct of the government. Eentlemen--I have known Andrew Jackson for long time: 1 have fought by his side; and at that lime he was an honest man, and, 1 think, had strong mind. But lie is in the hands Of men of bad gI'ii, who have no object Lat their own aggrandize- ment. During the last administration, a hue and cry was made against 1t for is ex- travaganee aud waste of the public money. 1t was therefore determined to have a more economical government, and for this pur- pose. we elected Andrew Jackson to be President of the United States. Well. 1 gentlemen, said he Colonel, with his usual good natured smile, this economical govern ment has increased cur annual expenditure nine millions q doitars! Cheers.

 Gentlemen--Seven months age, this was the most doarishlng country ill tie world. Look at it now; and what do you see ?-- You lohoId your commerce suspended; your laborers wandering about for employ ment; your mechanics starving; and above all you see the hest currency in the world deranged! And, ge.stlemer, what is this for? To gratify the will of a superannuated old man < man whose popularity, like the lightning of heaven, blasts and withers all that come within his influence. His lead- ing object ,n all the mischief he has done, has been to destroy the best monied inst- tuition on earth. But. gentlemen, will you submit to this experiment!, (Cries of ne yer, neyer9 Gentlemen, l am obliged to you for your kind reception, and for your attention to what 1 have now said.
