wisdom, firmncss, and decision of character

have no doubt, ifelected TO the Presidency.
ne would administer our government in the
manner best calculated To make it respected
at home and abroad. With respect tn sub.
stantial services rendered, privations endured.
and perilous difficulties encountered (without
any lnvidious comparison) we might safely
rest the claims OF General Jackson on tho
gratitude of his country. We are aware of
the old adage, "the ingratitude Of Republics"
but we trust our national character will never
be stained by such conduct as would Justify its
application to us. It's, therefore,
1. Reso!red, That Gen. JACKSON be nomi
mated and recommended to the people of the
U. States as a suitable person to fill the Office
of Chief Magistrate of this Union. and that
we pledge ourselves to use our influence 10
support his election.
| Q. Resoired, That the several candidates NJ

known In the people their sentiments on this

in Congress as in our State Legislature. be
instructed to exert their influence in his favor

been appointed to explore the Western Coun
try, under the Act passed at the last session
OF Congress Tor the estabiishment Of a Nation
al Armcry upon the Western waters.
These gentlemen assembled at Pittsburgh
aDd arc nov engaged in making the necessary
examinations We are informed that their
tour Will embrace the whole extent of the
western waters, and that every site, which
may be supposed in be suitable for an Armory

From the general attachments, long exper

The sen1i-annual dividend which will be
nn'de on the LIST of July, on the stock of the
NaliSnal Bank, il is supposed will be three
per cent. ; at least, il is presumed that the pro-
his OF The Bank will have enabled it TO divide
that amount, If ii shall be deemed expedient
Ia dn so. There are considerations however
WINCH 1t IS thought, may possibly induce the
government of the Bank 10 divide less than
lis real ability would render it easy To do one
OF which, it may be presumed, is the desire of
the Board OF Directors to avoid gvng-so far
as ihe'i duty VIII permit ihem-a new i'm
Pn'se To eXtravaSant sprculations in the stock
"i the Bank We have no desire ourselves
To discourage a fair dividend, even if il should
exceed three per cent. nor have we the
slightest knowledge, beyond conjecture, of
the views of the parent Board in regard to the
| dividend hut, as The Bank is known now tn
nave recovered from its losses, and to have
reached safe and prosperous condition, and
as the belief is general, that IFS profits will
Justify higher dividend than has been made
Tor some years, we throw out the above idea
to shew that those who are sauEuine OF an
extraordinary dividend may be disappointed
As the period for declaring the di, idend ap.
breaches, we find the price of stock rising in
Philadelphia il bad, few days ago, reached
neiwfrn SIX and seven per cent. above par
IN New forl; it was nearly as high. ID.
