STATE BANKING. ".

We now propose to examine the or
ganization of the Bank of the United
States. lis capital is as follows: So mil
lions of dollars, composed Of, first, 7
millions, subscribed by the government
of the United States, and paid in stock,
created by the governn ent, for the ex-
press purpose, bearing an interest of
per cent. Secondly, % millions, owned
and subscribed for, by individuals, and
paid for, as follows 81 millions, in the
funded debt, at the following rates debt
bearing an interest of 6 per cent at the
par value thereof; the funded debt bear
ing an interest of per cent. at the rate
Of SOS for every one hundred dollars;
and that bearing and interest of per
cent. at Slo6 5l-loo for every hundred
dollars OF the nominal amount, with the
interest accrued, on the several denomi-
nations of funded debt, computed and
allowed to the time of subscribing the
same, to the capital of the bank and 7
millions, which was to have been paid
in gold or silver coin, but which, is well
known, not to have been done, nor even
one fourth of 1.-THE notes of the stock
holders having been, in almost every in
stance, after the payment of the first in
stalment of five dollars on each share,
minaiion of the funds upon which this
bank is based, it cannot but be perceiv-
ed, by the most casual observer, that %
millions Of its capital in truth consists
of no more than certificates issued by the
government, as the evidences of the debts
which it owes to the individuals, from
whom it has heretofore borrowed mo-
neys, for the purpose of paying its debts.
If national debt be, as some eminent
men OF undoubted financial knowledge,
in Great Britain, have seriously contend
ed, a national blessing-and that, the
greater the amonnt thereof, the more the
perpetuiy OF the government was en-
,ured, there might be some reason to
wen venera,e these securities; but this
paradox has long since been exploded

The following is the declaration adj

Of Naples and the affairs connected with
them, which piece was delivered TO the
Senate Of this city by the Austrian resi-
dea; minister, Baron Hadel:
"Tbe overthrow of the order oil things
in Spain. Portugal, and Naples, has me-
cessarly caused the cares and the I'M

the revolution, and convinced them OF
the necessity of putting check on the
new calani,ies with which Europe is
threatened. The principles which uni
ted The great powers OF the continent to
deliver The world from the military des-
potism of an indiv idual issuing from the
revolution, ought to act against The revo-
dictionary power which has just develop

Troppau with this intention, venture to
hope that they shall attain this object.
great enterprise the treaties which re-
stored peace to Europe and have united
its naiions together.
Without doubt the powers have the
right TO take in common general mea-
sures OF prccaution against those states
whose reforms engendered by rebellion,
are opposed TO legitimate governments,
as example has already demonstrated,
especially when the spirit of rebellion
is propagated in the neighboring states
By secret agents. In consequence, the
monarchs assembled at Troppau have
arranged together the measures required
by circums ,ances, and have communica-
tea to the courts oil London an Paris
their intention OF attainig the end desired,
either b. mediation or by force. With
this view they have invited the king II
lhc Two Sicilies to repair to Laybacb,
to appe4r there as conciliator between
his misguided people and the states
whose tranquility is endangered by this
state of things and as they have resolv-
ed not to recognize any authority estab-
lisred by the seditious, it is only with
the king they can confer.
As the system to be followed has
no other foundation than treaties already
existing, they have no doubt of the assent
ofthe courts OF Paris and London. The
oni object OF this system is to CONSOLE
date the alliance between the soverelsns

1t our adherence to the constitution
has been notorious and sincere, if our
love 10 our king has been pure and cor
dial, il respect 10 the legal authorities
has ,,ways been the rule of our conduct,
W. now think it more than ever necessa
~ to declare that Catalonia considers the
Spanish constitution as its property,
which it will defend against all the enc
mles of The public felicity, whether they
be secret or open.
The accounts we receive from Naples
induce us to hold this language, since
we unhappily know that the affairs OF
Europe, are taking turn which we did
not expect. 1t was thought that the
grea, Powers, as they are called, attack
ed dix the principle of the Revolution
of N pies, that is, what they called
.MHtary MSurrection but the mask is
thrown off; it is not The military insur-
rection, it is the Spanish constitution
which is to be attacked at Naples. 1t
cannot any longer be dissembled, it is
Spain which is attacked indirectly in
Italy, till an opportunity should offer of
attacking it directly
The injustice Of those who oppose the
Spanish constitution of Naples, is self
evident, as well as the manifest contra
diction into which they fall, alleging that
this constitution gives toomuch power to
the people, and too little to the monarch.
The sovereigns who now think thus,
are the same, who few years ago, So
lemnly recognized this constitution !;
which then reused them from the lethar-
gy-from the humiliation in which they
were plunged; which was the basis to
preserve their thrones, to support their
vacilla,ory scepres, to recover their Dig
nifty, their honor, their strength and their
rank, sc.
We are far from comparing Laybach
with Bavonne, Ferdinand w with Fer
dinand VII, or the Emperor Francis
with Bonaparte.
If any act of injustice like those com
mitted by the usurper OF the Bourbons
should be seen in our days, we shall not
impute it to the sovereigns but to their
evil counsellors. Meantime Ferdinand
has gone to Laybach, bu, for what Ii
can only be to repeat by word of mouth
what he has frequently eclared to the
whole world. And what may be the re-
suits of this new Congress The Nea-
poItan nation will not yield; the mon
arch will maintain his oath; the Cabi-
cts, meantime, will introduce delusion,
inflame the peoples minds, excite par
ties, outrage the law ofnations, trample
up justice; but at the same time they
animate in the people their love of lib
crty they will cause men to reflect on
their rights, and on the means Of recov.
ering them, and Of establishing them or

Gov. Miller. returned to this place
on Tuesday last, after an. absence Of
more than three months; during a
great portion Of which time, he has been
engaged in holding Councils and Talks
with the Cherokee and Usage Indians,
and endeavoring to prevent the long-eX-
pcctcd rupture betw cen them-but with
out effect. A deep-rooted enmity has
long existed between those Indians, and
both parties have been equally eager for
the bloody combat. Hostlities have
been commenced for some time and, as
both are powerful nations, long and SAN
culinary conflict may be expected. The
Osages are said to be the strongest in
point of numbers, but the Cherokees are
much the best provided with arms and

MIR. PRINTER,
| observe by your paper of March 9th,
that the Hon. Joseph Phillips tenders his
services to the good people Of this state,
to I'LL the next g,lbernatorial chair. This
is certainly taking time by the tore-lock
and his honor's faults must be much
narrower than his shoulders, if some
lucky marksman does not briEy down
his pretensions before the next election.
As he has set himself up thus early as a
mark to be shot at, for eighteen months
before the sutsrages are to be taken, he
cannot think it hard if all his political
crimes should array themselves before
him, like the bloody dagger to the eyes
of Macbeth.
Notwithstanding the premature ankle
ty of this political mendicant, for the
peoples votes, leaving some few objec-
tons aside, would as lief see him fill
the chair of state as any other man; but
these objections are of such nature as
cannot well be got over without an ex-
PLANTATION from himself
II is we'll known that majority Of the
people OF this state are opposed to the
federation of slavery in any shape whate-

1t appears that the allied kings are ta-
king very high ground. Their inlen-
tons are clearly deyelopcd--the object
OF an alliance, impiously called "hoiy,'
is to keep the people in chains. They
summoned the old king Of Naples to APP
pear before them to give all account OF
himself, and he obeyed, as perhaps I"
was most prudent that he should co So
though the act was derogatory to him.
They have also ordered the king OF
Spain to appear-but we are glad to un-
dcrstand that the cortes have declared
that he shall not leave the kingdom.
England and France, though really par
ties to this conspiracy of kings, appear
to act with considerable caution. Mel
Their of these powers manifest DISPOSE
ton to NEEDLE directly with the affairs OF
Spain or Naples, tho each of them has
refused to receive the new ministers
from the latter. The Portuguese have
lately published spirited manifesto To
the sovereigns and nations OF Europe.
