Commercial crisis, the late one, the
work of the tyrant majority, 210-
its effects on Britain, ib.-on Ame-
rica, 211-Summary of the various
crises which have occurred since 1793,
ib.-difference betwixt those of 1825
and 1837, indicated, 212-rise of prices
consequent on mercantile activity drain-
ed this country of gold, and rendered
the exchanges unfavourable, 213--
this drain originated in the acts of
the United States of America, ib.-to
counteract their effects, the Bank of Eng-
land wisely restricted discounts of Ame-
rican bills, 214-the immediate cause of
the drain for gold on this country, was the
attempt to force on America, an exclu-
sively metallic currency, 215-the reason
for this insane measure may be traced to
the ascendency of the democratic prin-
ciple in America, obtained by the elec-
tions of 1834, ib.-this principle has
been fiercely directed against the aris-

tocracy of the United States Bank, 217
-the withdrawal of all Government
deposites; the exercise of his veto
against the renewal of its charter both
in 1833, and 1835; the issuing of a
Treasury order that all the taxes and
duties payable to Government, would be
only received in specie, were the deci-
sive measures of the President against
the United States Bank in particular,
and a prelude against all banks, 219-
to understand the virulence of the de-
mocratic clamour against the bank, it is
necessary to attend to the time and
circumstances when it was raised, when
banking was of universal use and of
incalculable importance to a rising
nation like America, when there was
an unprecedented activity in specula-
tion in land and produce, ib. Both
these points illustrated by quotations
from M. Chevalier's work on North
America, 220-The effects of the ac-
cusations against the Bank of intriguing
for its own purposes, the tirades of the
Press against paper currency, and the
Bank being made a question of ques-
tions at the Elections, shown by quo-
tations from M. Chevalier, 222-De-
mocratic passion has established cen-
tralization in America, 224-A sum-
mary of the causes and effects of the
late crisis, ib.-Appeal to the mecha-
nies of this country on the distress oc-
casioned to them by the insanity of
their Democratic brethren in America,
225- The futility of certain barriers
against popular delusion and insanity,
the consequences of which are more
fatal than the excesses of royal and
military powers, ib.

pose, 304-in point of mutual confi-
dence and good-will, 305-in point of

racter and weight, ib. in that the
Conservative is the rising and the Mi-
nisterial the falling party, ib.-Although
the Conservative party is strong enough
to resist all questions of constitutional
change, they will not give to Ministers
in the New Parliament a factious oppo-
sition, 310-A few words of advice to
Conservative friends to attend to the
registration of voters, 311-Not to be

of the Revolution. Ireland was peace-
able, ib.-at the end of the second cen-
tury now closing, the prospect is dark,
ib.-Popery now reigns in the ascen-
dency in Ireland, 430-The assertion

of the Ministerialists that the ascen-
dency is amply compensated by com-
parative tranquillity, confuted, 432
The intimidations in all parts of the

one vast compilation of fictitious votes,
437-Why are the polls in the towns
and counties kept so long open? 438-

Ministerial Alternatives, 530 - Ministry
may act in the new Parliament exactly
as they did in the old, 532-they may
change their present policy and become
more Conservative, 533-they may
change their present policy and become
more Destructive in their views, 534-
they will probably practise a sullen neu-
trality on constitutional questions, and
profess liberal exercise of power and
patronage, 535--In any way the advance
of Conservative principles cannot be
prevented, 537.
