IF THERE IS ONE THING WHICH SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN IN ESTIMATING THE RESULTS OF THE HARD MONEY SCHEMES OF THIS GOVERNMENT, IT IS THIS, THAT UNDER THIS SYSTEM A POOR MAN HAS NO CHANCE TO GET RICH, A POOR MAN MUST REMAIN POOR. THE GREAT DISTINCTION BETWEEN OUR OWN COUNTRY AND THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS A MIXED CURRENCY, AND ONE WHERE THE CURRENCY IS EXCLUSIVELY METALLIC, HAS BEEN THAT, IN THE FORMER, THE AVENUES TO WEALTH ARE OPEN TO ALL, WHILE, IN THE HARD MONEY COUNTRIES, THE MAN BORN RICH, REMAINS RICH; THE MAN BORN POOR, REMAINS POOR.

It is stated that twenty-four manufacturing establishments at Paterson have entirely suspended their operations, and that the men, women, and children who were lately employed in them, are entirely idle, and very many of them literally dependent upon charity, for their scanty allowance of daily food: Truly does the New York Times remark that New Jersey is doomed to groan beneath the blasting effect of Federal misrule, without being permitted to have a fair hearing upon the floor of Congress. And what is said of Paterson is also true of most every other manufacturing district in the country. "It is no marvel, therefore, that the farmers do not find a market for their produce."—N. Y. Whig.
