mails from the East bad failed TO arrive. IRE
ther. 's1
30 we intended to publish one of tne
| speeches IN favour of Mr.. Van Buren's
appointment, along with Mr.. Clay's, in this
paper; but the interruption of the mails
prevented us from receiving any of them in
time. Not getting the Globe, we had TO a.
wait their publication in other papers.
COLT appears our representative, Gen. Nc
Coy, is opposed to re-chartering the Bank
of the United States. We understand he
places his opposition on CONSTITUTIONAL
grounds. On looking into Niles's Register
(vol 10, page At 1--WE find Gen. MeCoy voted
in favour of the establishment of the Bank !.
The following paragraph shows how the
Bank question ought to be treated. Party-
ism, we fear, with many, has too much 70
do with it.
49, CHILL1coTHR, (Ohio,) Feb. l,
There is now in circulation here a
petition to Congress, praying that BODY
to re-charter the Bank of the United
States at its present session; and it af.
fords us much pleasure to state that il
has been signed, indiscriminately, thus
far, by the business men of both parties.
And why should it not have been p
Should the Important subject OF the cur
rency ofthe country be tortured into
party question Surely not. Every
man who receives or pays away dollar,
IS more or less interested in the exis-
tence of an institution upon which de-
ponds, in very great degree, the wa
ges of labor, and the relative value of
the property, en- musse, of the u. States.
We hope that similar petitions will be
handed about in other sections of the
State, and that the commendable exam
pie which has been shown here, by the
friends Of the administration, in Welding
to the measure their cordial support, will
be followed by the Jackson party, wher-
ever such petition may be circulated.
I-Gasette.

Senators and Representatives in Congress

States, passed the Pennsylvania legislature

ly, and IN the lower house by vote Off to7.

York have Joined in petition in favour
OF re-chartering the u. S. Bank.

The following is the part of Gen. Jackson's
Message of Dec. 1880, in reference to the
arrangement respecting the Colonial Trade
to which we alluded in our last paper
as showing that Congress was not without
suspicion or distrust of the course ofthe ad-
minstration at the time the act was PASSED
which preceded the arran cement. We note
those parts in itaLics and SMALL CAPITALS,
to which we wish particular attention
"Wh your preliminary interposition
was asked at the close of the last session. a
copy OF the instructions under which MIR.
Mclean has acted, together with tho com
munications which had at that time passed
between him and the British Government
was laid before you. Although there has
not been any thing il the acts of the two
governments which requires secrecy, il wa.
thought most proper, in The then stale of the
negotiation, tomske that communication n
confidential one. So soon, however, as the
evidence ofeXecution on the part of G.. Brit
ain IS received, the whole matter shall be
laid before you, tChen IL will be seen that the
apprehension tohich appears to haze suggest
cd one Qfhe professions IF the act passsd at
yotrr last session, that the restoration of the
trade in question might be connected With 9th
eT subjects, AND WAS SOUGHT TO he on
TIMED at the sacrifice Of Tire public inter
sStS tP OthsT particulars was wholly unfound-
ed; and that the change which has taken
place in the views ofthe British Government
has been induced by considerations as bonora-
bic to both parties as, trust, the result will
prove beneficial"
A very large meeting has been held in the
city Of New York, TO sustain the Senate in
the rejection Of Van Buren,.
We have received the first number Of the
"Scottsyille Aurora" 1t is quite a neat
Paper--and is for CLAY.
