proach to the overthrow of empires.
The people should recolleet further,
that the officers Of the bank arc made
responsible to the legislature for the
faithful administration OF ATS concerns.
How can this responsibility be efectual,
il these officers are permitted TO sit in
judgement oh their own official conduct!
1t is impossible, therefore, 1t becomes
your interest to inquire into this matter,
and to see whether. these Offices are oil
such a nature that senator, or represen-
tatiye cannot hold them; and ii SO,
TO speak your sense OF that glarlng
breach of the constitution, so strongly
in The still small voice Of TRUTH" that
your representatives will not dare 10 re-
fuse taking up the subject, and by vi
gorous act of manly independence,
purge their own body, OF all such men,
bers as shall be found consututionally
ineligible. The Liberties Of the people
can never be safe, until the legislature,
and every other public fanclionary, shall
be bold enough TO do, whatever the law,
justice, and common honesty, shall re-
quire at their hands. l..
.Nrzv- York" We take occasion to
repeat, with increased condolences" says
the Rochester Telegraph, "that JOHN
QUINcY ADAMS will receive the votes OF
New York, whether the electors shall
DC chosen by the people or the legisla
ture. The statement in a late Tele-
graph, of the relative Strength OF Mr.
Adams and Mr.. Crawford, by a Legisla-
tive choice, has not been cbntradicted
and We ourselves have been able 10 dis
cover but one error in the division, and
that is in favor Of Mr.. Adams. Mr..
MALLORY, a Senator from Rensselaer,
county, we learn, is fas, friend of Mr..
Adams, as is almost every Republican
in that county. Let the FRIENDS Of Mr..
Adams IN the different states look to
New York with entire confidence, for
we have the fullest assurance that she
will not disappoint their hopes"

WASHINGTON, JULY 81.
The depuiations OF Indians, now a,
the seat OF government, visited Gen.
Mason's Cannon Foundry Oh Wedncs-
day evening last, where they. had an op-
portdnlty OF seeing 50 pounier cast,
and OF inspecting the boring machinery.
1t was highly interesting to witness the
deep Impressions made upon these red
men oil the woods, bg this exhibition OF
lre and melted iron, ard by the music
oil the augefs, as they made their slow
snd difficult progress through the body
OF the cannon. The whole was scene
OF wonder to them; and that peculiar
lar al Il
which the Indians exercise when strange
sights aye displayed 10 their view, fur
nished but thin veil over the inward
workings OF surprise. One of the Inter
prefers requested them to look well to
all They saw, as they might, some CT these
days, have occasion TO Ipake guns too.
{" Impossible" replied one Vi them,
" bat never be-"
After the Foundry and its operations
had been well scrutinized, they were iD-
vlted into the second story of the boring
mill, where refreshments were served
OUT to them, cautiously prepared in Inc
form o! sangaree, lemonade, sc. While
this weaker sort of drink is better for
the Indians themsels es, it serves, at the
same time, to impress them with great
CIR respect for those who present it,
Whiskey, or other strong liquor on the
contrary, though they prefer it. leads
them to feel q disrespect and contempt
Tor those who serve it upon them.
They LEFT the Foundry about 6 o'clock,
to visit the Secretary Of War, at bis re-
sidence-tollowed by at least two thou
sand men, women, and children, attract
