% A Correspondent of tho u. $. Gazette, dc.
scriDes the effect produced on the Northern Jack
son men in the Senate, by tho reading of the Pre-
sidents Message.
"Tho Northern and Eastern members WINGED
exceedingly at the manner in which the President
disentangled his sentiments from all doubt re-
garding the Tariff policy, SO far as the protective
principle is involved; and when the blow came
upon Internal Improvement, how the Pennsyl:
vapia countenances heightened. The nose of Slaw-
ken Birgius was brief in comparison. But the
blow at the character of the Bank, brodght the
chin of Mr.. Dallas down on his palm, and called
up into the countenanco of Mr.. Wilkins a color Of
unusual vigor. Deep, desperate hostility to that
institution, is the motto of tho message and tho
party. IL must be put down lower than tic ex.
treme of degradation. 1t must be despoiled Of
character, as well as power; and they who have
administered its affairs must have their full portion
of the draught Of bitterness which the hand of re-.
form is administering 10 the country. l have never
received a favor from the bank. Far otherwise,
But | think it deserves better treatment from the
country for The best services it has rendered, than
1t has received or is likely to receive"
Those friends of Manufactures, and Improve
inc1ts, who have pcrsevered in representing Cen.
jackson to the people of New York and PennsyI-
vania, as friendly TO those interests, must need
have felt and looked blank on the reading Of his
Message. His last election over, with no longer a
motive for a "judicious" nHyslifcation of his scnti-
ments, he has at length thrown off the mask worn
for nine years, and come out in open and vehc-
ment opposition to every leading interest and favo.
rite policy of his thick .seullcd dupcs of tho middle
States. We are almost tom1Pted to rejoice at it,
and TO hope that retribution may De inflicted on the

BANK OF THE U. SrArEs.-The Presidents Mes
sage has accelerated tho fall of stock, and uniustly
taken thousands from the pockets of the StockhoId.
ers, in many cases., and particularly at tho South,
widows and orphan children. The Journal of Com
MERGE says:
1.-The effect of this document upon u. States Bank
stock, was very grcat,-producing a decline Of ) or
b dollars per share. No sales were effected higher
than SioS}, and the principal sales were at $IO4I.
The fall in this stock within tbe last IL months, has
been something like % dollars per share, which on
$500 0 shares. gives a total of 50, 500, 400. We can
not say that We think tho remarks of tho President
In reference to this Bank are exactly fair, particular:
" the suggestion that it may not be a saf e depository
for government money. Unless the President had
better reason for this suspicion than we think he had
1t was unnecessary trifing with the credit of the in
s,itution to express it. OF course, it was perfectly
competent for hiIh, and in fact his duty, if lie enter
tanned doubts ofthc safety ftho Bank, to cause
the necessary Investigations to be made, which
could have been done with equal facility iii n less
public manner"
