The hostility Of General Jackson 10 the
present Bank of the United States, 10 not
only remai kable for its ardor, but for its lof-
~ carriage, and manly Independence. Any
other man than Andrew JACKSON, standing
in the relation Of a candidate for the Presi-
dency of the United States, would have sup
ported the Bank bill, from pure fear of conse-
quences; and II is not improper to add, in
this place, that more than ono public per-
sonagc, on the catalogue Of candidates for
high Offices, has supported the Bank Of tho
United States, from an impress ion and firm
belief, that The influence Of monicd power
.--the influence Of mighty bank. would
accelerate his march toward the political
goal at which he aimed. If Gen. Jackson
was not bold and fearless man, he would
not venture to assail an institution possessing
the immense wealth and patronage that the
United States Bank does il he was not
honest, he would not dare expose its inequity
its corruption, and its base designs upon the
constitution Of the country. If Andrew
Jackson was not an honest man, q man who
looks to the happiness Of his fellow citizens
before he steps to count the effects this or
that step will have on his popularity, no
would have favored the Bank Bill, and thus
secured its patronage, and the friendship of

If he had advocated and sanctioned it's re-
charter, he would have secured the vote Of

officer and porter but with an Independence

interest of the people, he has opposed the
project of re .chartering the Bank Of the
United States, and has thus nobiy and man
fully discharged his duty. We admire him
for the design, and we honor him for the
completion Of the act.
The effect Of the veto cannot be mistaken,

the banking operations Of the country on
their proper footing-it will sustain the

and Il will teach foreign capitalists that
they cannot place their funds in this country
without their being subject to the same bur

American people. 1t will teach all that mo-

The rigid demands upon the dimensions
Of our columns by another subject, forbid
that we should indulge in these remarks to
the extent that we contemplated, and we
must dismiss the Message Of General Jack
son, with the hope that q document so able
IN so important. will be found in the hands
of every citizen Of the United States. II is
a production that the American people
have just cause to be proud Of Tit reflects
immor tai honor on the head and hand OF the
President, and in future ages will be hailed
as the proudest eminence in the land marks
of pre-. eminence and patriotic DEVOTION
In saying this much, we do ample and ex-
act justice to the President we yield to him
what his conduct has merited, and offer 10
him the iucense Of individual and humble ap.
probation. The message cannot be success

the United States Congress indeed they
have not attempted. any thing Of the kind.
but bcholding with wonder the splendor Of
the document, and the majesty Of mind and
thc.purity Of patriotic devotion, which it so
urdently breathes, they look around them
with amazement and wonder at their own
insignihcance and puerility.
The opposition papers have in
duIged in great hopes from the operation
of the Veto Of President Jackson on the
Bank Bill, in Pennsylvania, and partic-
ularly ofits effects in Pittsburgh, as we'll
as Philadelphia. One HUNDRED AND
THIRTEEN citizens of Pittsburgh who
have never hitherto voted for President
Jackson, have now come forward and
expressed their determination to support
him. But hear what they say;

TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, who have never
voted for General Andrew Jackson
deem it but an act Of justice at this ap-
parent crisis in the political destinies Of
our favored country, thus to publicly ex-
press our full and satisfied appreciation
of his measure in relation to the United
States Banks ;and our firm conviction that
a prosperous continuance Of the bless
ings 6f our republican government de-
Psnds greatly, il not entirely on tho re-
election of that independant patriot now
at the helm Of government. Every ef-
fort Of the aristocracy Of this country,
indicates the unhallowed design of cor
rup,ing through the subtle influence of
wealth, the fairest and most exalted fea-
ture of a freeman's privileges, the cleo
tive franchise. The subscribers deem
