BANK B,LI-vkrd.- Through the attention of Gen.

BANK L-vkrd.-Through the attention of Gen.
Robinson, have received the message of the Presi-
dent to the Senate, setting forth his objections to the
bill to re-charter the U. States Bank. Having consid-
cred it, he remarks with that solemn regard to the prn
cpes of the constitution which the day calculated
to inspire and to the conclusion that it ought not
to become law, herewith return it to the Senate,
with my objections. Admitting that national bank is,
in many respects, convenient the government, and
useful to the people, the message proceeds to say that
the present bill contains of those notifications
the existing charter which, in the opinion of the presi-
dent necessary to render compatible with Justice,
sound policy, the constitution. The argument on
each of these topics extended to great length we
forbea give any abstract, intending to lay the mes
sage before our readers entire possible.
Mr.. LITTLETON w. TAzEwELL, of Virginia,
has been elected President pro tenn of the Senate in the
absence of Vice President CALHOUN.
For the Wing & Inteligencer
To Mr.. T. J. v. O,cen:
Yon have been endeavoring, since the COM
mencement of the present Indian hostilities, to
make an impression upon the public mind, that
the dear Pottawat amies, for whom you are agent.
have been grossly and ungenerously charged with
having either connived at, or participated IN, the
murders of some of our defenceless frontier set
tiers; and in consequence Of your supposed sa-
credness of character, being progressed friend to
the present administration, some reliance has
been, no doubt, placed in your statement. But
regardless of all truth and that dignity of princ
ple that should always characterize the conduct
of gentlemen occupying high station under the
authority of the Federal Government, you have
made base and malignant attack against the
Executive of this State, while in the service OF
his country as Commander-in~Chief of the militia
of Illinois, for having ventured an opinion that
was predicated upon the strongest and most obvl-
Gus prescriptions. that the band of Indians for
which you are said to be agent, were concerned
and participated in the massacre OF our defence
less inhabitants. And you cannot deny that
many of the scalps, supposed at one time to have
been taken BY the Sacks and Foxes, were found
In the villages inhabited and owned by the Pota-
watamies, and that your principal war chief.
Wa-pon-s a, has at this time many relations with
the hostile bands. Gould Gov. Reynolds, or any
other individual who felt the least soIicitude tor
the safety of our exposed frontier, been deaf to
such proofs and silent in regard to truths whose
friendship for US, say the least, was even doubt
full? At this time sir, the whole body of militia
under the command of Gen. Atkinson are dispos-
ed to look upon your favorite band, headed by
their erea, war chief as treacherous and unfaith-
fuI Is it not then objectionable in you sir, as a
federal officer, without ever having taken the
pains to inquire into the true causes which Undue
ed the Governor to suspect the fidelity of your
tribe, to publish an unlustfable and humanity
attack against the Executive of a sovereign and
independent State. For this lnnhesitatingly say
YOU should be dismissed from office; and unless
Gen. jackson has become stranger to those
principles by which he has always been govern
ed, you and every other officer alike offending,
will receive at his hands salutarv and warning
lesson. A CITIZEN.
