~ The following is, as we are inform
ed, from an aged and respectable Revolu-
tionary Officer. We have preferred giving
his own article to substituting any remarks
of our own:
FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS spy
Mr.. EDIroR | wish to make few remarks
on what will probably take place in Congress
the present session. No doubt the Pension Law
will be brought forward for the relief of the
old surviving officers and soldier, Of the revoIu
ton, and canvassed the whole session until il
becomes near The time of their rising. so thai
it cannot become a law for the want IF time 10
act thereon, or something extraordinary will
engage their attention, so that no law will mass
this body IN favor of the old veterans until
another year. This has been the case for near.
~ fourteen years. 10 the shame and disarace of
at least majority. The writer does not make
these remarks because he has the least idea that
any law on the subject will pass the present
session, but to let Congress know that there
are, yet, few living, who fought their battles
in taking Burgoyne, and at Monmouth and else
where. And now what do they receive for all
this Why, they are stIgmatised as an old lot
of beings, unworthy the notice of those for
whom they fought and gave liberty. Far be il
from my heart ever to wish for the death of
any person whatsoever; but, should it please
the people Of the United States 10 give Gen.
Jackson and Vice President Calhoun liberty TO
ta:ry at home, the next choice, the old warriors
would leap for joy. They are both well known
to be inimcal 10 the claims Of the old soldiers,
and against passing any law for their relief.
They had much rather send John of Roanoke,
on mission to Russia, with little of the sur.
plus revenue, and allow him TO return to Eng
land where he was not wanted and where he
had no right to spend his time.
MIR. Editor, if you are Of opinion that these
remarks are too harsh, throw Them aside and
publish something more to the purpose; but.
one thing you may depend on, they are the
truth. So soon as all but eight or ten of this
desplsed class are laid in their graves, unanl-
nous vote will pass both Houses of Congress.
with great pomp and parade, for the relief OF
all! How honorable | have examined the
Presidents Message to both Houses Of Con-.
gress, but my old friend, if there was any thin
on the subject, have lost my eyesrght. SO "a
as not to be able to read, for / could not fin 4
one word lin the whole speecD that there eve

after making a summary of the last trien-
NAL Report of this Institution thus con-
cludcs its observations, which, as from an
impartial source, are entitled to considera-
ton -
Here, therefore, is an institution which,
by being founded on correct principles of
barking, and by being managed on the sys-
tenn of frank and unreserved publicity, has
fulfilled all the objects of its establishment
has purified the local currencies of the
different States-has given uniformity to
the exchanges-has enabled the general
revenue TO he transmitted TO the general
treasury without delay or loss-.has aided
commerce to greater amount than any
bank in the known world-has given secu-
rity against the depreciation of the local
currency-and has never been liable 10 be
abused for political objects.
"Surely the report cannot be true, that.
for eectloneerng purposes, and from an
apprehension that the influence exercised
by the Bank over the local establishments
may he turned against him, the present
President, Gen. Jackson, looks upon this
institution with an evil eye, and is disposed
to resist the renewal Of its charter"

Essex NoRTH DIsTRIcT. The Com
monweaIth has suffered q loss of the power
and influence Of one Representative in
Congress, during the present session, from
the dssentions in this district The 18th
instant is appointed for another trial. From
the severe struggle heretofore made, there
is little hope of electing either of the old
candidates The friends of one of the Ma
tional Republican candidates have offered
to unite with the friends of the other in the
selection Of new candidate in whom they
can have confidence. We look for the re-
suit of this offer with great anxiety. On
it probably rests the question, whether we
shall continue to be deprived of our Just
representation for the residue of the present
session, and, perhaps, during the present
Congress. The responsibility is a heavy
one, and those on whom it rests, will weigh
well, we trust, its consequence, before they
will reject the preferred compromise
Should any important interest of the State
lie decided against us, for the want of the
vote of representative from this district,
those who may be the cause of it must suf-
fer II reproach which they will not easily
get rid Of.

The Editor of the Republican, foiled in
his attempt TO deceive the people in relation
10 the3 per cent.'s'ock, resorts to his old
subteIfuges of abuse and MISREPRESENTATION.
in order, by dlverting the attention to ex-
traneous matter,to escape the consequ, nees
OF his discontinue. But the trick will not
succeed. He has so long INDUCED himself
in the unrestraned use of opprobrious epi-
thets, that they now fall innocuous from
HIM, and are regarded by his readers, like
the oaths of the hab;tual swearer, as thing
of course, which only serve to shew the re
lined taste of the utterer. And when he
says that the National Republican party
holds the doctrine that ga National debt is
National blessing" he knows that he ut
tiers ridiculous falsenood, for which he
cannot find particle of proof in any of the
publications. OF the party. But his attempt
TO hold that party responsible for the doings
of any men or of any party which might
have existed thirty or forty years ago,
indicates an ignorance on his part or a be-
lief in the gullibility of the public, which
we could hardly have looked for, even from
him. Does he not know, that, since that
time, there has been a complete breaking
up of all the old parties and that those who
formerly acted together on both sides are
now mingled, Unfortunately, in both the
great parties of the present day? Does he
not know that the present cabinet consists.
as nearly as possible, of an equal number
from both the former political parties, while
the names of James Madison, Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, and others in the opposi
ton shew that that is composed of similar
materials?
We shall not follow the Editor of the
Republican in his calculations, because they
have little to do with the subject and it is
not necessary TO fair understanding of it,
He says that 4" the real ground oe the oppo-
stion of Mr. Clay and his friends to the
payment of the B per cents, is opposition to
the payment Of the National debt" This
is groundless assumption. They object
to Gen. Jackson's squandering six or seven
millions more than is necessary for the
effecting of that object. Let the remainder
of the debt be paid, and then transfer to
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund.
the United States Bank Stock held bv gov-
eminent, for the purpose of appropriating
the income Of it to the payment of the in
terest of the 3 per cents, till they can be
bought at fair price, and the National
Debt will, for all practical purposes, be paid
off, because it will no longer be a charge
on the National Treasury, but, on the con-
trary, there will be surplus from this
source, which in few years would enable
the Commissioners TO buy in the stocks at
whatever price they may command in the
market. Thus the debt would he all re-
deemed, and the six millions with which
Gen Jackson wishes to buy the influence
of the capitalists would he saved to the
country.

MEXICO. We learn from sources on
which we can place the most perfect reli-
ance, that the Vice President Bustamente,
so far from having yielded to the demand of
the garrisons of Vera Cruz and Ulua for
the removal of the ministry, has despatched
against them considerable body of troops
OF every description, under the command Of
Gen. Calderon; but these measures were
not taken till every means of cancellation
had been tried, that his prudence and good
policy could dictate. The Minister of War,
nj. Faco. had already arrived at Jaapa,
but we have not been able TO learn whether
or not he will place himself at the head Of
the troops which ale to act against the au-
thors of the remonstrance" of Vera Cruz.
Should he, however, take the command, we
feel assured from all we know Of his char
acter and that of General Santa Anna, that,
if unfortunately recourse should he had to
arms, the struggle will not be without great
bloodshed.
More than twothirds of the population of
of Vera Cruz had Quilted the city, the
greater part of which was on its way to-
wards Jalapa. A vessel is shortly expected
from Tampico, by which we shall no doubt
receive news of the manner in which the
Resolution"o the garrisons of Vera Cruz,
st. Juan de Uloa, and Alvarado, against
the present Ministry, has been received
throughout the rest of the Republic for,
up to the present date we have no positive
information that any other places have de-
cared in favor Of the insurgents.

way TO Tartary and the borders of India,

facility for his mission, giving him letters

The following is a literal extract from
letter written from Boston by one Of he
Representatives, ofthiS toton in the General
Court, and published in the last Republi-
can. In justice to the other members of
our delegation, it is proper to say that the
writer is the editor of the Republican him
SELF 1t is pretty fair specimen of con-
siderable portion of the original matter
with which he snstructS and entertains his
readers.
"The Jackson men in this place are few and far
between though believe there is pretty good
lot of 'em in the Legislator The name they saw is
not popular. For it is said he come from Tennes-
see-that he was great fighter in the late war :;
and that icdr was not fashionable at the time of it
in this city, but was thought to be very wicked
war;-Some of our city folks who call themselves
for Harry Clay, the man who eats so many shoats
in Kentucky, and all about the country, say Gen
jackson is no gentleman and that he behaved very
cowardy at New Orleans for he took the cotton
bags without leave or license and piled them up so
that the British couldn't see over 'em-and then
the Kentucky boys peeked over the bags and shot
Fem down outright. 1t was terrible butchery
1t is Iumored here that the General uses red ink
and that il was taken from an Indian who was tan
ped during one of the Southern Campaigns and
used up as occasion required until final draft
was made which used up the poor creature en-
tirely"
