indeed II Is favor which ask of YOU. and
which, as IL British officer, | expect will be
granted hy n crew of British seamrn. What
say you, my lads. are you willing tn grant
your new captain one favor? Aye, ave, cree,

WHY DO THEY OPPOSE THE BANK:

L
Yes, why do Andrew Jarkson and " his
suhjeris" oppose the Bank Our readers
will ind an answer in the following state.
ment which Ja~kson-men dare not deny
Just before Andrew jackson was I'd for The
Presidency he offered his own nole, with
out any endcrseT, for disrount nj the New
Orleans Branch. He was told that if he
would procure an endorsei it should he dis.
counted, otherwise it could not he. He re-
fused To do II, and in the rage of dsappoint.
ment swnre that If he ever had the power
he would put the Id thing down.
Mr.. Senator Bib Is defauIier at the
Lexington Branch for 5000. and Mt the
Louisville Branch tor $500. This Jack
son Senator voted against the Bank, nut he
is a 'ieiauter. as principal. for Sll SEQ.
William T. Barry, Post Master General
is drftiiter at the Lexington Branch for
"a OC9 Ga, as principal, and about $4,000
as surety.
Francis p. Blair, editor Of the GInhe. is a
defdutter at the same Branrh for 81, 33l So
as principal.
We make no comment on the above faris
further than To say that Andrew jackson
and his minlons are interested in hrpa. mo
down The Bank. AMI that the secret of their
opposition lies IN their numerous de:alca-
tons.

1t is with regret, have seen nv name
mentioned hy tie Anti Masonic Repshli-
cans, in one of the public journals of New
Hampshire, as II candidate for an Eler'or of
Presden, ard Vire President of the United
States. Though am mysplfin principle and
practice, a decided Anti Mason, yet cannot
consent 10 he candidate for an Elertor. 1t
is an ol,jert of great Importance, both to Anti
Masons and National Republicans, 10 pre-
vent, it possible, the re. election of Andrew
Jarkson. On this point both these great
parties in the Tn ted Stnies agree in opin.
ion hut 10 lie il is Obvious. thai if The Anti
Masons ami the National Republicans in
New Hampshire. have earh of them scpa-
rate lists Of candidates for Electors, neither
of them can succeed. Two lists would,
probably. prevent II choire of ELECTORS hv
the people; hut the present General Court
would then choose Jackson Electors. 1t
therefore appears to me sound policy for
the Anti Masons in this State to support the
candidates for Electors whom the National
Republicans have already nominatrd.-
When the period shall arrive for the Flee

country may I've such US 10 require them to
