all moral orce-proes,ng against the -charcring
Of the present Bank of the United States protested
against the re-charering of the Disseminating
President, and Representatives, in defence
OF the Constitution of their country. Ii is agreed all
hands, that this is the most important session of Congress
which has met for many years Now, is the Tariff to be
decided! Now, is the Bank TO be prcsscd-Now, all
great principles to be tested. Shall
stand by them! And again raise ao the banner OF State
Rights and the Union! Jackson is safe The Baltimore
Convention has evaporaed in smokeLet rally around
our principiesln supporting them we shall support all
the wise principles of his late Message We shall main
tain him and them together
BY WHICH CENSUS?
Some doubt being expressed in the public prints,
and i'm the Convention of Saturday night, as to
which Census should regulate the apportionment of
Electors, have turned to the acts of Congress,
and the archives of history, and find the facts
to DO in strict unison with the following statement
of the Nashville Banner of the Sd inst:
1.-The first census taken in 1890, and the first Con-
grcss under the apporonment into office in
March 1898. The first election of President after the
new made in November 1892, before the ex-
pration Of the old Congress- but after the apporonmcnt
oil representation repeating the The following
explicit provision Of act of Congress passed March
1892, clearly settled the construction of the clause OF the
Constitution to which have referred and has regulated
the mode of choosing electors of President Vice Pre-
sident at all subsequent elections"

1t was according to this rule, that the election of
loI2-l3 was conducted No doubt indeed rests
upon the matter. Congress owesit to the State
legislatures now in session, to pass the apportior-
ment Dill with as much expedition aspossble.
The u, S. Telegraph ascrbes to us a passage,
which ne k,o,os was quoted from Mr.. Miners Jour
r fIos rf,Y,j
The Telegraph's attempt to rouse Mr. Clay against
MIR. V. B. is ridiculous. The "character' of that
q"perd 10 'oo '"rSn understood" 10y H. z. to have
any effect upon his political If c.. "cannot
love" V. b. he will scarcely hate him the more from
the promptings of the Telegraph.
Could we stoop to elaborate retaliation upon
the Telegraph, would ask its Editor what were
ms principles when he emigraed from Missouri
Tie came forth proselytc TO the Tariff TO Internal
Improvement; 10 such heightened doctrnes-As for
ourselves, we enreat him to have fears our ac

&C, to the contrary Notwithstanding.
NEVER DESPAIR OF THE REPUBLIC!
