Van Buren Professions.—What are the tenets of the Van Buren party on the subject of Banks and Currency? . . . The Albany Regency, like the Safety Fund system, and defend the suspension of specie payments.
. . .
We have a guess that it is not unlike the opposition of Joe Smith & Co. to banks; and that the profession of the party might be expressed nearly in the form of Kirtland notes, thus.
The President, Kitchen Cabinet & Co. of the Anti-BANK-ing PARTY will pay their faithful officers in GOLD—all others in RAGS.
