But in the mean time the mighty and the once active energies of our Stale seemed to become p-tralizcd; tho works lately undertaken although of an important local, are wanting in a general character; and our neighboring State, Pennsylvania, has continued her gigantic efforts, undaunted by the obstacles of nature, unmindful of the doubts of the timid, aud regardless of the sneer and reproaches of tho envious and misjudg

exonerated from all participation in producing the distresses which the people are suiTuring ? Wh itever other circumstances may havo existed, wc believe thit tho fiuanci il embarrassment and pecuniary distress have been highly aggravated and protracted by tho course of the Executive department in rcspec to the currency. Let us look at tho condition of the People of the U. 8. before the system of experimenting commenced. Were we not the most free, the most prosperous, the most fully employed aud happy people on the sce of the globe? In what other country in the wide expanse of tho universe, was the condition of the poor, the mechanical, laboring and producing citizens , so thriving, so untrammelled and free? We hard experienced since a scries of measures of government and finance attended with distress,
suffering, and want ; depriving the poor of their employment, the manufacturer of bis purchaser, and closing up with general public and private bankruptcy. The highest prosperity has been suddenly changed to tho lowest adversity; the greatest happiness to the greatest suffering and misery, the greatest abunJ iii e to need and want. And for what purpose have we been enduring evils more fearful and puttering, mare agonizing than the distresses of a state of war. Has it been to prepare us for an "untried expedient?" Who shall answer to us for its success? Who shall rave us frjm the ruin us consequences of its failure? We are onnosedto tho "untried expedient in
both the Sub-Treasury nnd "Special Deposite1 forms. We are opposed to all separation and all discrimination between tha government and the peoplo. We still recognise the people as constituting the government, and tho money tho people use and receive from etch other, they will receive again from the govornment. Wo avow ourselves hostile to any plan which imposes a condition that

There is an urgency and haste in forcing this hard money measure so "subversive of the principles of our government upon our representative., which indicates a fear of the returning wave of popular indignation. The public feeling on this "disorganising and revolutionary mcasuro" is awakened, and tho torrent cannot bo resisted.

While calling your attention to matters of public intorest, we beg leave to direct it to a few topics within our own state.
