THH CUltllRNCY EXPANSION ANDCO.NTHAC-TIOS-CAL'SE AND EKKKC I' CLEARLY STATED.Having, in our hist paper, disposed uf our first proposition, by showing that the (jriat cxpansii)! of our I mm I currency wus chnrjioBlilc iigiun llio Ad mi ni slr.i : ii.n, which, in pursuance of ti System, deliberately adopted, promoted the increase of Hanks and encouraged, nay orttiEitEO an extension of Hank accommodations and an increase ot Uank circulation: VYe now pro-: cecd to demonstrate our second proposition, to wit That t lie present depression in trade, the. prostration of our moneyed institutions, and the low price of all the fruits of labour, Bpring legitimately from the financial erjieriinenls to which these elements of prosperity have been unnecessarily subjected. la disposing of this branch of onr subject, we shall be obliged to (ravel over a widvr space than was necessary in elucidating llic former. Facts there constituted our arguments: and what was belter, our opponents were forced tu furnish them against themselves: Here our arguments will be based on facts, drawn from accredited and official sources, bill to which wo shall bo obliged in most ii. stances tu told the commentary. We hope to make ourselves understood, for tho proposition is to simple that it may hesnid to follow almost ns an unavoidable consequence of the unnatural infla tion ol the currency, growing out of the increase of U.irika. In reviewing hastily Ibis portion of tho policy of the Administration, it will he necessary to keep in view the fact deiiioiistratud in our first article, In wit: lliat tlio droit increase of S'.u'.e Hunks wbs MKAS- UUE OF GOVE UN ME NT POLICY; and that therefore the impulse (jiven to tiuiik, to spi-culatiox, and lo ixxinv, are traceable to (his Jint cause, and naturally followed as an effect. That the increase of Stale I3.ii.ts was a favourite measure of the Adminis tration, may be demonstrated hy numberless articles in the oflieial organ of (he Government, the Globe. The system was defended and urged in the most emphatic language, ns the only means of safely ngninst the attacks of tho "Monster" ami Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and other promineut nien of the opposition, were denounced lo ihe Stales, in gross and vulgar language, for presuming to cast n suspicion on the wisdom of the Administration in their choico of financial ognnl8. Theso things have not faded from the recollection of the public, and we therefore pass them by for tho present, lo be taken up hereafter, should their exhibition be deemed useful. The first visible effect of the cheapness of money, prod tire J by ihe expansion of our local currency, was discoverable in ihe impetus given lo trade and commerce. This may bo seen hy a leferenco lo the official reports from Ihe Treasury, showing a gradual increase from S0,87C.9eO iu 1830, tu SIB3,980,033 in 1836, trhen the bu'ible finally InirilcJ, or became to far collapsed by tho inllielinn of tho "Specie Circular," that it vanished into thin air in I lie succeeding spring. Yi ilhout here stopping to discuss ihe miserable pieeo cf quackery called "the specie circular" stigmatized by eomo with a much harslu r name wo shall proceed lo consider hastily the facts disclosed by Ihe foregoing figures. Al first view, Ihe difference be-tivccn the two periods of lime, dating from the commencement of die. experiments on the currency, to their final explosion, is so great, as almost to exceed belief. Many will endeavour lo account fur il hy referring the increase lo Ihe gradual reduction of duties; hut this will n it avail, n a plain statement of the manlier in which these immense foreign importations were carried on, will presently show. On Ibu withdrawal of lite II. if. Dank from its government connection, and on its becoming certain in Europe that it was not to be reeh.irlered, Ihe large capitalists and Hankers of England und Krancc -in ling upon thai keen impulsu which always distinguishes tho money Under, and rejoicing in the prospect of getting rid of u competitor which had met tbetu iu every market white Ibu American ft ig was homo by our har.ly maimers immediately stepped forward with their propositions, lo our import, rs und merchants, of a character loo tempting and flattering lobe resisted. Here lliett commenced Ihe career of head long extravagance nnd overbading, outstripping all former precedent disregarding all connexion between Mitpply and tlitnnndt for inasmuch ns mkans seemed abundant, hy reason of tin) IN'CKKASF.I) ClliCU-I.ATIOX furnished by Ihe great number of new Hanks, everywhere growing up under ihu fostering care of tho Administration no thought was given to the fit lurr; and llio warnings of Ihe wise and prudent fell ui unwilling cars, made deaf hy ceaseless partisan clamour. Coder tho lieu order of things thus created, the field was opciicd wide, and ihe harvest promised ohurv dance. When an American house wished Iu go into uV business of imposing, instead of applyii g lo ihe agent of tho foreign Manufacturer, lie direclu I his ap plication Iu the ugeul ol the foreign flanker, who had been Icmptcd In our shores by Ihe operation of Ihu tx perimiut. Al first, the credits easily obtained In Ibis country, were converted into bills on England, and transmitted Iu the London lljnkei, and drawn ngaiu from his hands lo pay ihe agent's bills of purchase, The system worked well, for the immi tli'.o advantage of bulb, and the greal increase of the rcpivscntnlive of money, in the form of Hank miles, on lliii side of the Atlantic, swelling tho means of ibo London Hanker hy increasing his profits, soon led le 111 nluptioii of a system of advances ol low rales f f inti rest, which resulted iufioading aur e.ounti y with the prwhtcts f kob- not hli'iur, in the deprivation nf cur own mechanics und manufacturers, to precisely Iht'samu extent which Uie i'mii'i if our Slate Hanks liail been turrit d beyond the healthful denundsOV OUl OWN PUODIHT Vl INDl'NTItY! This it n proposition so plain, that every man must see it on its being oneo clc illy slated Having proeeidid llius far, we might rest upon the aroouii lit iIim Imsu! by this statcme I of facts Hut we prnposo lo go n atct farther, tin I connect Ihe wasteful extravagance nod luxiry, which, dining lit prngrc'3 of Ibis part of the drama, scind upon the c...uiilty swelling nr.tonly individual expenses, hut lite expenses of ihu GoVKHNMRxr, In the most alarm. ing degree uf cxr.nrugiincc- directly with this ii 11 I imi if the cifi'encv: And not only thai, hut wo ebargu upon il '.II lh limit, scrrl l.vl ions, nnd DE .'Al.CATIONS, which have followed iu Ihe train of these txpcrinnnls, with the same conviction of being light, as tt 'ien we charge upon ihe Father of Lies Ibo paiurn'ny ol his numerous i.fl'spiii.g through all Ihi it Variety (if procreation. We have stated above ihe enormous increase of oreln important n bilwren ill! yean i'M a d I83(i. We prnposo now lo givo one more item, drawn from official documents, by wny of showing Ihe hasty strides we were malting uk a nation, in luxury and txlrarugiinee. Iu 1833, llio Importation of silk goods into the United Stales, was a fraction over $11,000,000. In 183(1, Ihe aggregate had 6velled lo the enormous amount of i!)J,0!j(!.8l or rising ELEVEN MILLIONS OF WI.T.A.-tS mure limn it: w.'iule timnunt f imports in 1S30! To no other cause than ihe inflation of the currency under llio Government Kxjterimenl, rntideiing inoiu y cheap and abundant, and inviting lo extravagance, can this wonderful result ho traced. No law of trade, based on regular supply and demand, with or wiilium'. duties, could ever have produced il unaided by unnatural causes. ' In connexion with this item of cxtravagar.ee in avrtrading, il seems not lo be Irrelevant to stale, by way of showing tint the government kept pace with the people, that the expense of collecting the revenue, derived from imports, ill 1823 and 183G, amounting, in each year Iu about the same sum, was, in 128, S032.003, and in 1830, l,3!7,409! And the expenditures of government, lor the ramo year, were, for ISiS, $13,090,011, and for 18311, $30,808,101 ! ! Like cause producing like effect unhinging all Ibo relations of business breaking down the barriers which prudence and wisdom had erected and letting loose upon the people a set of hungry office-holders, government brokers, and money-rhangers, lo devour thn fat of the land ! There is another view lo bo token of litis subject, rhich will forcibly illustrate the ffect of the Expan-Hon if llu Currency under the government patronage, .md Ihe tendency of Ihe Ivxp:rimenl lo promote SPECULATION.

Tim elf.-ct of thn Specie Order was first felt by the Hanks iu the Western and South-western Stales. I!y degrees it began to operale on the Banks in New York nnd the' Eastern and Middle Stains generally, draw ing from them their specie lo supply the vacuum created by tho demand West fjr Ihu purehtso of lands. The Deposite Hanks iu the Western Slates were the recipients of specie thus drawn lo the West, and were exempted in tt great degree from the first shock producid upon the business of the country. The Eastern Hanks were not so forltiiiale. Their circulation was returned upon them for coin to supply tho Western demand, and Ihe (fleet was lo produce an instant contraction, not only at ihe East, bill al thn West, lo guard ngainsl a drainage- of the precious mends, (-xlr-n. tdinary in 'tis chancier, before unknown iu the history of finance in this country, and, us now generally conceded, wholly uncalled for hy any public exigency. We will exemplify our reasoning, hy shewing the effect of the Order on the resources and currency of Ohio. The immediate effect of the Specio Order was to create a necessity on p.".;! of ilea Banks in Old", of withdrawing their means from ordinary use ill discounting notes and bills for the purchase of tho produce of the country, to llio purchase uf specie in the Atlantic cities for the supply of (he extraordinary demands made upon them in the piK-Unse of public lands. The amount of Hanking capital in llio Slate of Ohio actually paid in on the 31st of IK-p.eniber, 18,'rft, was 9,0 17,897. On the 1st of January, 18.10, their cir- i eolation amounted to S9,731,l l.'t On the 1st of January, 1337, under Ihe operation of the Specie Order, their circulation htd fallen to gH.XOO.STl Jit- a reduction of One Milinn jvur Hundred atui'tuitnltjcven Twuwnd, Four Hundred and Sii-ly -nine Dollars!

Let il be homo in mind, in canvassing Ihe startling fads shove disclosed, that luring Ihe year 183G, whilu-the C ire alar was in full operation, producing the disastrous contraction here shown, the Gonrnmtnl D.positct in lite pet Jinnies (as exhibited by their Report lo ihn LfgUhlure in Janu ary, 18.17,) had inciieaskii in their vaults for Ihe cur rent year ending Dec. 3 1 si, 1830, ihe sum of Ton Mil-. lions and fourteen Thousand, four Hundred and forty-six Dollars 1 1 Che purchase of specie by the Western Hanks, con sumed their credits, based upon d',posiies in tho Eastern U, nks.

Hut the 'nil for specio hy lh Western Hanks, whilo il reduced tittr ability tu i!c:ociale domestic bills, nlsu reduced the means of the Eastern Hanks in precisely Ihi same ratio, The result of ibis operation may be thus stated: Contraction of circulation in the year 1330, $)I,107,I09 Lien use of Gov.

Our political fiiends In vaiioits parts i f the Stale, have expressed considerable solicitude in relation to the holding cf a convention or conventions, previous to (he ensuing fall elections. Some appear anxious to have a greal convention of Ihe young men of the Slate, iu accordance with tho recommendation of the Young Men's Nation il Convention, held al Ralliinore in May last others think il better lo divide Ihe State into three or fitir nreat districts, nnd hold a convention in each, while another portion think it advisable to convene meetings al one or more points in each Congressional District in which such meetings have not already been held, so as lo give our citizens more generally, tin opportunity of attending, and of meeting Mr. Corwiu, w hom they generally appear anxious to see and In nr. Various comiiitliiieations have been made lo lite Statu Central Committee, in ftvor uf lliese several plans. These communications have been considered hy the Central Committee, and after consulting with Mr. Corwiu on the subject, they have concluded lo (rt-umincnd tho hoieinj of me. lings in the Congressional Disiricls. The limes and plans of Inldiug tbeae meeting will be determined on, w ith reference lo lite convenience of Mr. Corwiu, as soon as circumstances will permit, and Ihe result published through the medium of the newspapers."HOLLAND'S LIFE OF VAN HI.'llEN." This Work, we see by Ihe Inst .Statesman, is now pronounced a "vile forgery." When il first made ils appearance, il was lauded lo the skies, nnd every Federal Van Huren in in was advised lo secure a copy. Tho following from ihe Globe will show iu what es timation il was then held: Friiimtx U'-u'iliumn tt'o'ir, ml.. 1711., 1II1G. 'This acceptable volume, we did not receive, until after the commencement of this aession of Congress; and since then, pressure of business his prevented our nonce ol It. I his we the less regret, ns it lias been very generally and favorably introduced lo llio public by the Ueniocratic papers ol Hie country. "It IS a neat duo,lccliuo Volume, ol JO I pages, into which the author in accomplished scholar and civil ian has compressed much Interesting political history, together with notices of the principal events in llio life nf Mr. Van Huren. It is written in n vigorous, manly slyl' with great candor, and free from tha spirit of a p ir'U',n; and rather with a view, as the author observes, Mo display the spiiit nnd principles of the Republican party iu Ibis country, and lo ex hibit, by the history ol an inilivtil.ini, llu nature ol the relation w hich that party sustains lo its public men,' than 'to contribute lo tlie political elevation of any man.' "We wish ihe work nn extensive circulation, and recommend it, in strong terms, loall those who wish to loam the truth respecting the pclitieul course and opinions nf Mr. Van Uuren." This recommendation m iy he called a firgtry for aught wc know. Those who h ive any curiosity on ihe subject, nre referred lo the files of the Globe iu the State Library, w here il w ill he found iu black and white. Wonder if the Statesman editor has forgotten his pious wish expressed Inst winter, that the d u bmh might be Uurmd up, for no other rensc-n than be-causo it gave too clear a statement of Van Hureu's course in the New York Conveniion nn llio negro right of suffrage, and other kindred questions! Wo think ho will experience no difficulty in rrcolleciiug thn scene in ihe Pml ufli'V. Tho leaders of a parly thai deal iu forget circulars, should be careful how ihey commit themselves. This will nccoiiiil for tho sudden denunciation, f the hook but the Whigs will "charge'" il lioiuu upon them. FEDERALISM ALWAYS THE SAME. The editor of the Uohintorr Hi publican, the leading paper of the administration party, is now and always has been a federalist. He il was who first gave rut rency lo the sneeragainst lite Candidate of the people by recommending him lo "retire lo a Log Cabin and drink Hard Cider," Ho was also a signer of tho "confidential" letter nd-lressed to Mr. Vim Huren, recommending Ihcdistniss'il of the IWu Army Officers ul I! iliimorc, for noi purchasing supplies of "the party." These movements hettny tint old ultra proscriplivn federal principles of I lie man. In 1883, this man, who rej. icea in the name of Samuel I linker, published a piper nl Wilmington, Delaware, in which he published the following slainb-r tigaiusl Mr, Ji ff, rsnu: " I'll,' unprovoked attack which Mr. Jefferson has been pleased lo make upon the Federal party, without -my kind nf necessity or reason for il, is nllogeiher unjustifiable, and can henecnuiiied for on no oilier tirnund 'bin ihe MENIAL 1M 1110(11. 1 IY or unhallowed resentment of its auihnr, mutt consummate intriguer. 3io had been i pposed lo ihe adoption if Ihe Federal consiiliilioe: loveieled himself into Ihe favor of the people; undermined the men who had hefiietided him, and rend red him popular w hen Inr otherwise, on account of his npposi ioii lo the constitution; misrepresented their motives and actions, ami instigated olhers lo insult and abuse ihiui, m,d at length sealed himself in Ihe i halt ol the Chief Mautsiraey f the county, by course of the MOST SHAMEFl l. DOCIILE DEALING AND PERVERSION OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE." Thus the federal leaders talked iu 1803, about Mr. Jefferson, nnd thus Ihey talk now about the pallid Harrison. Wo have n lung list of ihe prominent men in ihe Van Huren Tanks, who were uld blue-light federalists, which we design toon lo publish. In lite mean time, to show the compleio union of sentiment md action now existing between Mr. Van Huren and the old federal party, we would call alteiiliuu lo the following cxlraci from the Demueru'ie lleeicso, a work established ut Washington for llio purpose of propa gating and defending the leading principles and men f llio administration. This publication is under Ihe immediate patronage uf Mr. Van Huren and his pur y friends, and miiy therefore be said lu speak ijficially I'hu extract may be louud in the February number, page 131, Old Democrats, read! Here il is: "We nre, however, proud lo confess a high respect jorlhal fli .tit old federalism of the ILiinilinuinn eta uf w 111111 Jiutoii M'tigewicK ottcreu one ol Hie iioesl specimens.

This is open, llinlisguisej profession, Who, after litis, will dare call Mr, Van Dunn a democrat! A great Harrison meeting was recently held al llol-iilllj s, I'eiin'ylv.ini i, (fcJ-MR. C0RW1N.-O) Mr. CuitwiN Iras consented lo address the citizens of Franklin county and such others as may be in ihe city at ihe Market Hon6e, on Wednesday nexl, al 18 u'clock (al noon.) It is expected that Gov. Shannon will be iu town on that day; and, should this be lh case, he will also be invited lo address the people. A MOUSF.R AT THE LOG-CABIN. There was a rally at the Log Cabin, last evening, to hear Mr. Cobwin. We need not say the people were delighted and instructedmany heard him for Ihe first time ; the offtet-lmldert never waul lo hear li'mi again. The meeting was also addressed in ihe happiest manner by Gi n. Murphy, of Chillicolhe, nnd by li. W. Thompson, Esq., of Indiana. Mr. Corwiu is on his way to Newaik and Zanesville, to ineel his fcllow-citiiens on the -fill. By arrangement, he will address the people in holh places. CELEBRATION OF PERRY'S VICTORY. The Hurrisonians of Daylon have resolved lo celebrate Perry's Victory, on the 10th September, at which there will no doubt he a largo ct'nrjreoaticii of ibo HYENA SYMPATHY. The tears of Ihe Statesman flow copiously over the murdered remains of poor Davis, of St. Louis, in hopes of producing political effect. He forgot tu slate Ihal Dames, w ho is charged w ith lite murder, was rt member of the same political party with Bavis, and presided over a political meeting of the friends of Van llureti, n short lime before Ihe affray took plnce in which Davis losl his life. The vdilon was in Baltimore when Laiigblin was murdered, nnd'lold his readers iu a letter, thai " the man was subject to fits, am) iu bis. rage fell on the pavement, and did not rteuter! ' The sympathies of such a man are but Ihe blubbering uf a heart festering in corruption. Little Lane We see il announced ill Ihe Katr,o papers, that tittle Isaac Hill has been appointed Pit- indent uf tho Mechanics' Hank al Concord, N. H - This is ihe man w ho, w hen 3d Comutru'lcr of the V. S. Treasury, was Ihe first lo break ground in ihe scheme of converting Ihe U. S. Hank into a party machine for Ihe Administration, by asking; for lha removal of Mr. Mason, Presidenl of Ihe Dank nl Portsmouth, because of his political hi slilily to Gen.Jael.sun. This was in 1889. The movement was regarded as an unwarrantable iiilerferenee-an the pari cf Ihe Government, and failed. Isaac was then for political Hanks, if ihey could only be brought lo bear on llio light side. How is he now ! His Lccofi co brethren hould look lu il.' MAUK1KI), On llic 181li ull.. by llir Rev. N.
