We find in the Carlisle (Pa.) Republican, a
leading JACKSON paper, the following notice. -
Let il be read:
In this days paper our readers will find the
message OF the President transmitted to the Sc
nate Of the United States, giving his reasons for
Disappearing of the Bill! for re-chartering the U.
States Bank, which had passed both branches Of
the National Legislature, and wanted only the
signature Of the President tn become law.
"This measure Of the present Executive will
certainly, in our State, be viewed with astonlsh-
ment, il not With other feelings. 1t Is well
known that this was a fayorite measure with
Pennsylvania, and formed leading feature OF
the policy warmly advocated BY the friends of
the present administration Ut our Unon. and, to
them, was as unexpected as il now appears
strange.
From the last message Of the President II
was inferred by all, that he had yielded his con
stitu,onal scruples on this point, TO the settled
opinions Of those whose prerosatve 1t Is to adJu-
dictate the constituioDality of our laws. In that
message the Presidents objections to the Bank
appeared to be confined to its "present organi-
zalion," and he there, to use his own language,
leaves it "to the investigation Of an enlightened
people aHd their representatives. This in'ss
tgalion, so frequently invited, has been made,
and the people, through their representatives,
have plainly expressed their wishes, and those
wishes have received the Presidents Veto.
That the citizens Of Pennsylvania were
warmly interested in the fate OF the Bank, cannot
be denied, uniess the innunerabe resolutions, ap-
proving ofahat institution, adopted by meetings
IN every section of our State, those of the 9Th Of
March convention, and the resolutions UNANI-
MoUsLY adopted by our State Legislature, are
all to be considered as hypoerilical and unmean-
my expressions Of public sentmeat.
Nv hat. may be the effect of this measure'in
Pennsylvania we shall not attempt TO PREDICT
II is now before the peuple-rhey are honest and
they are intelligent. aud to their honesty and in
telsence it is submitted.
IN Important Qusry.-Misht it not be well
for the high toned Nuitiers Of the present day,
to Inquire how far the following decision of the
Circuit Court Of the United States in the of trial
Fries, the celebrated Pennsylvania Whiskey in
surgent, might have bearing on their case. il
recourse to law were TO be had against them!
ANY insurrectiOn or rising, to resist, or pre-
vent By force or violence, the execution of any
Statute Of the United States, Of general nature
or national concern. under pretence, is levy
ing war, within the contemplation Of the consti-
turiOn."- United States VS.. Fries, Cir. CT,
