" Dir. Secretary Ingham, at the foot of sumo
public instructions relative to the mode of doing bssi
nezn with the Treasury Department, thus concludes:
"Mr. Campbell's (the new Treasurer) signature is
Gs follows: John Campbell"
We deem this information SO important taat VIC
lose no time in giving it circulation. The public
must feel great interest in knowing that Mr.. Urea
surer Campbell writes his name neither J. Campbell
nor Jno. Campbell--but John Campbell This, in
truth, is the whole amount of the gratuitous intel-
gence Of Mr.. Secretary Ingham. This silly parade
s par with all the doings of this most pompous
administration. Is mail expedited half an hour,
we;.sre invited to admire the great energy of the
Pm. GeneraI Does the 9TH Auditor stop dozen
newspapers directed to his Department and whose
may be $50 per an. the worthy gentleman makes as
much splutter about retrenchment and the money he
has saved to the people, if he had paid off the
national debit Does the new Minister to France
deviating from the usual custom, wish to have no
private Secretary! (paid we believe by Ministers
themselves,) the obsequious Administration prints
lavish infinite applause upon the economy of the
Administration Does the President decline to send
Special Minister to France, to treat about French
Spoliations. whittier Minister Plenpotentary is at
the moment departing Mr. Van Buren, cunningly
intimates and the servile Press re-cchoes that in
observing this course, he is actua,ed by regard for
the purses Of the People! Never surely were such
miserable little tricks pracscd, to acquire new, or
sustain declining popularity. How empty of real
merit must the set of be, who rely upon them
for these purposes!
Observe, People ofVirginio! The new Treasurer
Of the u. States writes his mime, John Campbell
In full. Let this caution be duly observed, when
next you write to Mr.. Treasurer Campbell

crnins in the misdirecion OF the Bank of Virginia
may perhaps only anticipate what his much ADLER
pen is preparing to disclose, but through you
would point out to him or to the public, that he has
scared not probed the wound, and that he has not
pointed out that evil which in itself would ruin any
institution of the kind, that ever existed. The
Stockholders of the Bank of Virginia, have given
power 10 the President and Cashier, greater than
that given by the people TO the President of the u.
g., to Congress- or to the Senate in either of their
separate capacities-that of dsposng of the entire
Of their funds not only without check or CONTROL but
actually ,oifhoth being obliged TO account for
their disposai.H The Stockholders have given pow
or TO the President and Cashier, tn TAKE drafts and
knowledge of the directors. Thus, at one sweeping
clause making cyphers of the directors, and placing
the whole capital of the Bank in the hands of the
President and Cashier Under such n system will
do that act of kindness to Geo. Clinton, that he
perhaps would not do for me-teIl him how to make
mis- fortune. Let him open house in Richmond,
under the firm of Geo. Clinton, in Petersburg Geo.
Clinton, IT., in New York Clinton George; the next
step that must he taken, must be to get into the

Bank of irving them northern funds, he
