SATURDAY,, FEBRUARY 9.

The report OF Mr.. Caltatln, short but
full of unanswerable argument. in favor of
rene wal of the United States Bank Cnar.
ter, has not been without much effect in
both Houses. In the Senate Sam. Smith
attacked the Bank Committee for asking
the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry, and severely censured Galla.in for CIV
ing it. The Smith party, and the Madison
and Gslla,in party, are now fairly at issue.
The quarrel has come towards crisis /;
and We shall soon know which party is to
prevail. Mr.. Gallatin has been long in Of
fee, and is not dependent in his circuE,-
stances, so as to be obliged to cringe to con,
,inue in office and probably is not anxious
about continuance. The iatrisues of the
Smiths against the President, he has been
partially and sometimes directly the means
of developing. The Smiths have perhaps
directed the Wing, Adrota, Argus, Ea.
ouirer, &c. to attack Gall4,in, and hav. him
removed from Office, or at least detached
from the Presidents confidence ; bu: in
this they have been ausuccessful-,i'~ Pre-.
sid.n Mt is more than ever attached TO Gala.
tin, and is fullv aware ct the sigos of
the. Smiths. The assistance of no second
sight is required to see that the Smiths are
fast going down hill, much to the advsn
tage Of the country, and the gra,ihc
ot The best Of the democratic party. Gal
latin is not now afraid Of the Smith inan.
.ence, supported by the President and tAe
most respectable Of the democrats. X
