! Report Of the Comnitfee ora FTaace.-It
VIII be recollected that General jackson in
hs message, last December, to Congress
was madeto say in reference 20 the Bank of
the United States, "both the constitutional
ty and the expediescy of the law creating
F" tins Bank are well questioned by large
:" portion Of oar fellow citizens and it must
be admitted by all, that it has failed in tho
" great end of establishing a uniform and
sound currency ;" and that suggestion
was made IN the same document, whether
new National Bank .,ht not be established,
founded on thecredit of Government and its
revenues" \ bis passage OF the message
excited general establishment, and produced
much temporary evil. Ga the Isl Of Decen-
Der u resolution was passed by the Senate
instructing 1.-The Committee on Finance 10
"iLquire into the expediency Of establishing
ga nniform National Currency for the United
estates. to report thereoa To the SeRate''-
We publish this nloraing the report made
by the COMMITTEE in pursuance of that Reso-
luton. This Report sosttcrs 10 the winds
the positions of the "Sreat untasght and I'M
tsarhable" concerning National Currency
and Banking, and shows that his acqusia-
lance with those subjects has not at all in
creased since his memorable request, or ra-
Their mandate, to the Government to order
the Bank of the u. States 1T New Orleans to
give him money when he wanted it, The
Committee, instead Of agreeing, as this pro
found commercial philosopher had asserted,
that sit i. admitted by all that the Bank Of
fhe United Statesl has failed in the great
END Of establishing IA uniform and sound cur
'rency," emphatically say that the existing
'currencv is sound and uniform for all the
practical purposes of the Government, and
'the trade of the Union;" and they illustrate
this assertion by examining the state of the
currency in its relations to the Government,
the community, and the foreign exchanges.
In reference TO the project ola ''uniform ma
'tionai currency" prepared 10y the National
Government. circulated under its authority,
and maintained by its credit" they very
properly say that ''the inevitable consequence
would he, the creation of monied engine
'of direct dependence on the officers of Co
'vernmeut, at variance with the whole scheme
'oi our institutions" They consider its Gnan-
cial Inconvenience to be formidable, and
"add, that con more enlarged consideration
'of political expcdiency, the objections to il
ara, in the opinion of the Committee, 9.su-
perab6 aad fatal" So much for the device
of Mr.. Van Buren, TO bespeek votes by fiatter-
Ing certain sectional pre- JUDGES against that
salutary institution, the Bank of the u. States;
and so much for the effort OF the Board of
Rewards and Punishment" which he presdes
over, to concentrate in their own hands the
wealth of the nation, and thus acquire new
means for self aggrandizement and public
corruption-.Nat. Journal.
VerGeity Of the OrgGa.-A communication
was sent to us yesterday by respectable ci-
tzen, in which he says, in reference to the
assertion IN yesterdays Telegraph, that Abb
ner Greenicaf f'never was the EDITOR of the
New Hampshire Gazetteer" Surprising that
you would wish to be fully assured of the
fact which you have published, think it
proper to state that Mr. Greenleaf has been
the Editor Of that paper during the whole
canvass for the Presidency, up to the time he
was appointed Postmaster. This am will
'iiug TO take ny oath to, If | had the files
could show you where he speaks Of his own
Services rendered to the jackson party as
editor"
We shall notice the equivocations and
schools of the Official Government news

connected with the press, whom Gen. Jack
son has awarded.-.Nat. Jour.
The Ducl--As we expected, people are be-
ginning to see into tho injustice of the late
stretch of power on the part of the Executive,
in dsmissing several young officers irom the
Navy, for being concerned in the late duel
| and we doubt not that, when the case come:
! candidly to be examined, there viii he an u
nanirnous opinion on the subject. We are
! ,ot disposed osay much ON the circumstance
because, after the first burst of feeiinl
is over, reason will settle calmly down
and judge correctly.
The following is from the Pennsylvani
lInqlirer--a paper friendly to the President
published in Philadelphia, and conducte
