ARGUMENT AGAINST THE BANK. The great
argument against the U. States Bank, urged in
the veto message, and repeated in all the Jack
son prints, is particularly addressed to the peo-
pie of the Western States Mr. Clay, in his
speech on the suhiect, says, 4" Bcfnre the estab
ishment of the Bank of the U. States, the ex-
change business of the West was carried on by
premium, which was generally paid on all re-
mlttances to the East Of p per cent. The
aggregate amount Of all remltances, through.
out the whole circle of the year. very
great, and instead of the sum then paid,
we now pay half per cent. or nothing if notes
Of the Bank Of the United States be used
Prior to the Bank, we were without the
capital of the thirty millions which that nstu.
ton now supplies, stimulating our enterprise
In Kentucky we have no specie paying Bank,
scarcely any currency other than that of the
Bank of the U. States and it's Branches. How
is the West To pay this enormous debt Of thirty
millions Of dollars' It's impossible. 1t cannot
be done. General distress certain, wide spread
inevitable ruin, must DO the consequences of an
attempt TO enforce the payment Depression
in the value OF oil property, sheriff's sales and
sacrifices, bankruptcy, must necessarily ensue /;
and with them, relief laws, paper money, a
prostration Of tho courts Of justice, evils from
which we have just emerged, must again, with
all their train OF Affections, revisit our country"

WEYER's CAVE. Some travellers have
noticed the natural curiosities that are
more Astounding in the south west quarter
of Virginia, than in any other part that
have visited. Amongst these, the Cave
which | have just witnessed in Augusta
county, is in bold relief. There are from
25 to 30 chambers, filled with innnmerable
objects of beauty, variety and splendor.-
The stalactites and formations are extreme
ly perfect, and the limitations wonderfully
chaste-temples, cascades, galleries balus-
trades, curtains, lohbes, tapestries, halls,
Gothic architecture, ball rooms, are endless.
1t is really surprising that no correct de-
scription of it has been furnished; it is
more to be wondered at that so little pains
have been taken to bring into notice this
cave. 1t is now kept Ivy an obliging, at
tentlve, and intelligent person. who gives
great satisfaction, as we'll as good enter
tainment, to visitors. The road is quite
passable from Newmarket, say 80 miles
