the public dues in gold and silver only. lid
firmt been presente4l in Coigress is a dis
tinct and specific proposition, by Col. Ben
ton. . You interrupied lite, and saild tlait cny
statemont was flle (and I understanttid, add
6d, that I knew it to be so.) This occur
red at a dinner given tot yells. and I could
therefore do no inure than to say that steh
langungo was unprovoked, and 'hat I could
not and wonld not stbmit to it frmli any
one I had lhoped th. when the excilenent
of the ituotnent had paled n ;v it would
have been withdsr:iwn. As at wa, not, I

I have deenied it my duty ti make this
full statement, as it ha-s been sedidously re
ported i hat I hall retracted what I slid on
that occasion. I have retracted nilt single
fact that I stated; and I may add, that in
all that I have said and written on this and
every other political question. I.am not con -
seiout of any single mistake of an impor
tant fact. I iight have cone farther, and
stated what I -uiposed almost everv man in
the United States knew, that Col. Bento
wits the author, the first to sugget this
gold and silver pioliev. II he i n,not, why
has he beens called '"humbig Benton."
-hi rd motey Benton?" WVy are gold
coin "niled "llenton drops?'' If' Gen.
Gordon is the true father of* the policy, they
should have been clled Gordon drops.
But to tile proof. In a spI)eerh made inl the
Senateon it: 21st M..reh, 1834, the follow
ing pasages oceui, with fifty others like
Itet : Col, Isenton staid, "In the first plae
lie was one of those vho believed that the
Gove-rtnient of the U. States wvaS intended
to be a1 hard-meney governmttenit-Aihat it
wtias the intention anl the cleclarationt of the
Constitution of' tie United St -ite., that the
Federal currency should consist of gold
anld silver, and that tilere is no ;)ower ins
Congress to issue, or to iutIliorize liy com

Federal paper curretinev whatever.'' IThe
authority givei to Cotiress to cohi motiy,
Is aln atithority to stlinp metallic money,
and not an authority lir issuing slips of

Pretty strong, I think, against Treasury

Agnin, he says, "Gold and %ilver is the
only thin!, recopnized is tt ney." "It is

TuE LAST CoNCLuso:.--The N. York
Commercial Adveniser, a leading Bank
paper, finding the anuthoiity of Mr. Jelbr
son too hard for it has finally thrown it
oCr, by an opon denunciation of the great
iepublican, bolb morally and politically.
We will not defend Mr. Jefferson's moral
character, for in this respect, we have ever
regarded him as no fit model for the Ameri
can People. But he is universally esteem
ed as the 2reat chainpion of Republicnaism,
throughout the country; and it is obvious,
that he who will attack him politically, is at
once aineking the great doctrines of liber
ty. No utan perhaps who ever lived, was
a more iuiforn, consistent. and zealous Re
pul.lienn ting Mr. Jelerson; and the Dec
laration of Independence, and his faithful,
a'd nile comentary upon the Constitu
tion iii 1798. will reinain splendid nionti
maents of' his wisdom and patriotim, as
long as Liberty has a votary.
The Advertiser indeed calls itself a geni
ine patriot. and yet the )olitical doctrines
of Mr. Jeffers-wn are declared to be false
and unsound, and it is said, have produced
incalculable mischief to the country. So in
truth aust all think, who go ror a National
Bank, and a gigantic General Government.
MI. Jefferson was a State Rights man, anti
all his pritciples are opposed to Nationalism
and Consolidation. The great apostle of
Stnte Sovereienty. cannot be twisted into
authority for the high Federal measures
whir I it is proposed now to establish. The
St-aie Rihts inen who are associated with
W'ebster. Clay & Co., imust oonseint to see
himl, .iusel and denflunced. or dissolve the
cop.;rtnership. Which will they do! Is
our ol and faithftl leader to be sacrificed,
or is it better hi we should again rally a
rouid his principles, and make one coin
imon -truggle in defence of ihose doctrines,
whi(h are essen. 'al It the permanence of
our Iustititions.
COMMUNIIICATIONS.
Mr. Editor.
Sir,-I have observed in your paper of
lie 13th1 inst. a coinum nica Lion over the
signature Of "Many Voters," which, from
its extraordinary character and apparent
ohviotus desin. I consider it due to myself
not to permit to pass n ithout sorre notice.
Who) this %riter is, who has (n0 doubt for
Politietal fl'ect) Ihcought proper to sign hin
M.lf "ManY Voters" I an at a loss to con
jecture. If however, it is expected of me
lo iive a direct and full reply to his com
mlunientiont, Ite must come out over his on a
proper signature, that I may know who he
is, and whether lie is entitled to Po much
notice. lie says, "Afiern eareful perusal
ofth lengthy and lab irionis exoamton of
forced upon ui that he is in favor of a Na
ional Bank," and sanys immediately after
wards, 'It is true lie has given himself
roomito play" &c. that "le has refused
-o conimit himself either by an allirniative
or tez:tive on this Inomentons question, ; ut
i('avcs the people to forn their own opin
ieens of his pereference and conurse, friomt the
evidhences contamned in his da;rk and wide
%lprend exposition of his views, and tinder
n htieh he can herecafler shelter hiirnself,
whether his course he for or agatinst ac Bank"
Thuis, n ith some allusions in the next par
acgracph of bik commiinunicaition, lie at temtnpts
to rephre'actt me as occup.s ing a position itn
r'elationi to this qutestieo. UnwiLortly of an
htoniorable man. and I cast it hack upon
him. with contempt. I should regard any
man, unwsorthy of cousideraitiotn, and( whol
ly unfit to he the representativ.e ofrnt i'ntelfl.
gent. pat riottic, hiighnmindedh, gallant people
who was capable of taking such a position.
Themattive for doing so would obviously be,to
secnre. it' potssibile, his electior--a tmotil e
which e'very honoitrale tman weou ld disdair.
In to aece of wthat lie has stated. I unhesi
ititngl y assern, what I shiuld thinkl all
ought tO ptereeive who have read my an
swer, thatt I have given tmy opinion freely,
"raiikly andil decidedly. That the opties of
KAlanyv Voters"have been too mneih becloud
ed to perce9te this accordini2 io his own
shcowin;-, I shalhl itoidi-putte; but,to the People
ofttheDistrict generaelly ,as far as I have learn
edl (exept the "(every pecrson" with whom
he says lie has conversed) the position I oc
cupy in relation to) this question, is well
utndersitod. That it inayhie seen, that I
am not now in faivor of the establishment.
of a Naitional Bank. and do tnot regard it as
Conistittiicinial, nor as the proper mencns of
tirecdteinig a sound currenicy. buit distinctly
limitt on11 what I do regard as the propier
mnean--, and precr course to lie p)urstted. to
let dhown the pr'esent uniseundl system, and
place the currency on a better atid more
piermtanent fontittiIon, is too obvious to re
<puire explanation.
What lie says of my objecting to one of
the~ details of the Stil-Treasury scheme, I
consider titnecessaery unw to notice; not
know ing who "Alatny Voters" is-whether
'.e be a citizen ohf the D)istrict, or somne
tr'ansietnt or miigrtory wighit. F"or aught I
know, he may be one of those, who in a
late miemorabele p)eriloius crisis in the histo
ry of our alrdirs, lehft South Carolina, for,
what hie regarded, a more congrenial atnd
p)eacefuil Clime. Be tbis as it may, of one .
thin2 itam certain; if over I ascertain whso
"Many Veerets" is, I shall be able to form
at pretty c'orrect opinion of his object for
sprneadtinig before the pieop)le. this c!ection
certini pi"c aC gains8itfme. And I regret,
cxceedingly regret, the character of his
