Hard Times. It has become extremely fashionable, of late, to attribute the prevailing difficulties and distresses of the people, entirely to baidcs and banking; and some few well-meaning, yet shortsighted people, have been deceived by the endless clamor. Now, the fact is, (and any person, upon reflection, will im

mediately perceive it,) that these com

plaints aamst banking in general, are

both false and vicious. They originate

with foreign agents with the enemies of

our manufactures with tnoe who dis-

couraie domestic industry, and promote

foreign competition with those whose

whole business is, to spread cobwebs on

our looms, and extinguish the fires of our

fircs. The cries against banks come

from such people, and are repeated prin

cipally by their fools or knaves by the

dupes or tools ol their villainous and os

tractive purposes. They are invented in the dark closet of St. James' thev are

the effect of that accursed system, con

ceived by Walpole, nourished by tit1

younger Pitl, and brought to full nmur tv and action by Casllereogh, and his bar.

of consummate scoundrels in England and

America. It is the business of these grind noliti

Cians and agents among us, to hide the truth tfro'rfour view, or to drown its voice

bv the turbulence of their incessant out

.Cries; and the misconduct of some few

and - he misfortunes of others of the banks

in the IT. States, have furnished them a

.subject upon which they harp with little

effect, and, therefore, surprising pertina

acity and, while, on one part, the noise

proceeds from predetermined unpnnci

pled hostility, on another, there are al

jvays found disappointed speculators and

atupid projectors of shallow schemes of fortune, who, after begging most servilely "or accommodations at the banks, are ready to join in the yell against them, adding in ..latitude to falsehood, and blending perfidy' with despair. But, if 6aN. tnd banking be the cause Of the genera' distress, the bankers are not to be blamed the misfortune i3 theirs ; the fault is with the borrowers". v The fault is with him whv demands accommodation who obtains it' who spreads their paper far and wide, to answer his present purposes; and who, disappointed" or designing, is at last unable or unwilling to repay it; while, perhaps, that very paper, which he, on the instant, circulated in a hundred different channels, is in a few days, collected and returned in a ilood ipon the bank, which is obliged, promptly, to redeem it, while their debtor is playing upon its patience, or laughing at its credulity. This is one great cause of the defalcation of the banks ; and it behoves many fault-finders to laok to it for we know of many who are in the constant habit of cursing these institutions, while their creiitors would be glad to receive the meanest paper from their hands ; ai d who rail against this and that kind of currency, while a dollar of any kind would he a blessed stranger in their packets. - But, banks and banking are not the Cause of the troubles of the present day. The sudden pacification of Europe oaUied

the ploughs and stagnated the blood of o ir country ; and it left oar deadly enemy. FLml, in possession of the means of destroying what might have sustained these states in that great reverse of destiny domestic industry. British manuf.-c-tures were poured into our seaports at less than cost. Congress refused its redeeming hand, mid our infant factories were ruined. What British policy had so long attempted, "sometimes by FIRE,'1 was now effected by the surr induence of gold : and thus, while the products of the earth were sacrificed in foreign markets, or perishing in storehouses at home ; while the loom was motionless, and the anvil silent, England became our workshop ; her rulers and capitalists became

our designing and inveterate creditors, and Americans her miserably infatuated debtors, and beggared dependants. And, so long as our imports so vastly exceed Our exports, so long will our country be

ly age ; boasting of his Tudian bhoct, be raised the war-whoop against Mr. Adams'

aaministrauon, and advocated, with nery zeal, the election of Mr. Jefferson. He succeeded "the country was saved," he said ; but scarce was the venerable pat

riot and philosopher seated in the presidential chair, when Mr. Randolph chop

ped like the gust of winter, and stigmatised the man to whom he had always pro-

essed to look up with awe and admira-

tion. nuch nas lie ever been, to the present hour consistent in nothing but his

inconsistency uniform in nothing but contradiction. 31 ad i son and Monroe,

names dear to their conntrv, have alter

nately been the subject of his praise and

imprecation. A friend of no man, es

teemed by no man, slovenly both in prin

cipies and person, he moves about, a political hedgehog, tit for no society but his

own species ; and, as these are few, and always avoided, he is forever left to the

loneliness of his own discordant mind

lie appears to be fit for none of the

common purposes of existence. He seems

i to be neither statesman, orator, citizen.

or soldier. His speeches, generallv, are

but the peevish tatiings of a wrinkled gos

sip, scolding the frailties of some luckless

teautv. and blessing true rrood fortune

which has never given her the opportu

nity of doing likewise. He is trusted bv

nobody a jilt in politics, be coquets with

every part', and nledges his services only

to be conspicuous in deception. At times he is the ilaming patriot ; " mouthing at Cesar till he shakes the senate ;" in an instant, he will change his livery, and be

the conqueror s coachman! always g,r rulous and rlightv, presumptuous and dog

matical, he can yet weave the light gossa-

men of fraud, but never can he frame the impregnable plan which is matured by

the iron mmrt ot meditation, b retiul

and variable, peevish and impertinent, without system or rejection, catching at every thin which can elude him, and holding on noting which may be stationary, he is the sport pf fusion, and the mockery of judgment: sarcastic, capricious, revengeful and unforgiving, ?o!ati'e and phlegmatic, he is ; every thing by fits, and nothing long.7' With no rule to guide, him, but a cor tempt of all rules, he is affected in punctilio while he is dissolute in principle. Such is the man, who has made so much useless noise in Congress ; whose genius is bnt destruction ; whose praise is little less than venom, and whose satire is deadly poison ; who can pull down the noblest castle, while he cannot erect a cottage ; and whose impertinent volubility upon every subject of debate, in men of honorable minds, awakes all the ridicuie of risibility, and often more than the risibility of ridicule. The following anecdote of him is nnw

because bis mothers cow bad betm killed

J.V a witch, he should dread an old woman

if he lived to be a million ; and that,

whi.e a child, he had seen the devil in the

shape of a black cat, and could not now

go to bed without a servant and a cau

dle. As well might he say, that, because

a negro told him he had seen a horse with

out a head, he should be afraid of a horse all the days of his life or declare that

he was an enemy to a navv, because, in

his youth, he was near dying by a rope !

and would always vote against the man

ufacture of powder, because general Wil

kinson once scared him with his pistols !

The facts are the same the inferences are as natural and correct ; and this is

round him : on these he has founded his principles as a legislator these are the
