From the National Int, lligencrr. !

1t is III scorn ofthc meanness of the impu-
tations upon us, that we refuse to vind,cate
our private transactions in the columns of the
National lnteligen:er. But this we boldly
say, that there is not an honest gentleman,
living, who knows us, that will believe for a
moment, as the Editors of the Evening Pest
pretend to do, that our opinions respecting
the Bank Of the United States are influenced
by the use OF the money which we have had
occasion to borrow, TO carry on the extensive
| public works which have been confidcd to II.
by the Representatives of the People. The
suggestion is false in every sense.--We pa,
the Bank well for the use of its money, ant
we shall soon God willing) be out of it's debt
! We wish we could predict the same of thos
who assail us, Kitchen Cabiret and all, som,
ct them carrying ON no business of any sort
and who are debtors to the Bank
Whilst aluding to this subject, let us re
pei the ridiculous inference which we Der
ceive is drawn in certain quarter. from til
fact OF eur having given the Bank lien 0
property as part of the security for debt
The lntclligcncer, say these courteous gen

MIR. GRUNDY.

This gentleman is made quite a sub
jcct in the Mas papers. The Re
pub ic an, true blue Jackson and Van Blu
rem, hammers upon him without sparing.
His offences are manifold and numerous
FirSi--IIc made speech in the Sen
ate advocating notification. This enor-
nifty he pcrpctraIcd in support Of Mr.
Hayne, in the famous debate on Foote's
iesolut on, Mr.. Grundy's speech when
made, was true orthodox repulic aiIism
or rather real Jackson Democracy. Mr..
Haynes pcech, that Mr.. Grundy backed
was applaudcd TO the heavens, by the re-
publican party and President Jackson
1t was even printed on satin ard copy
preserved to the President. Now it is
all damnabie heresy, and poo" Mr.. Grun-
dy, though he declares he has eaten up
all that speech contained, is to be out
lawed Of the Democratic party for deliv-
ering it.
Second-Mr. Grundy subscribed the
Sunday mail petition, some FIVE or six
years ago, and this is now objected aga
4 inst him, as henous offence.
| IhirG.-Mr Grundy made market
house speech last summer, in which he
had the temerity to declare that ii shoull
be seen before the nert election ,Uhether thi
State Tenne ssee shouid be governed by ;
name ibis hume by inuendo is made
to read General JACKSON, and so read, tn,
offence is regarded as one Of most lep
rous foulness. Poor Mr.. Grunely labor
strongly. in denying such piece of an
i dacious wickdeness as to raise dodb
whether the name of General Jackso,
should not govern the State Of Tennessee
His pursuers iasten it upon him, wher
it seems to stick like the 20 soncd shir
of Nessus.
Why is poor Mr.. Grundy set upon?-
His scat i'll the Senate is wanted by Pre-
sidcnt Jackson for Major Eaton. .Ala'

him with great apparent politeness, they
asked him If he had not lately preached
much against drunkenness. On his le-
plying in the affirmative, they insisted that
he should now preach from text Of their
choosing. In vain did he demonstrate ON
the unreasonableness of expecting him to
give them discourse without study, and

A CHAPTER ON HATS.

"four Donnet TO It's rlgnt use Is LOT the neau'
There is no people so ingenious at ex-
pedients as the Yankees. 1t would never
enter the heads Of persons out of New
England to use their hats for any other
: purpose, than as CO, ering for theirheads.
In other parts OF the globe, when man
bows gracously to a friend, he takes of his
hat. Such custom cannot be adopted
here-for mans hat is his pocket book,
his satchell, his pantry, his clothes bag,
his tool chest, or his segar box, as occa-
sion may require, and if he should take
off his hat in hurry, awkward conse-
qnences must needs ensue. We once
knew young gentleman, who having
purchased a dozen of eggs, for his moth
err, forthwith popped them into his hat. On
his way home, he met pretty girl, with
whose charms he had long been smittcn
and wishing to be particularly polite, he
took of has hal, preparatory to making
low bow. The twelve eggs obeying the
laws of gravitation, Of course were pre-
cpitated to the pavement and instantly
smashed to atoms, and the beautiful white
garment Of the astonished girl, was bes-
battered with the filthy yolks She never
forgave him.
How often during windy day, do we
see hatless wight chasing cloud of pa
papers, which have made their escape,
and are borne away on the wings Of the
wind.
1t has been remarked by foreigners that
the natives Of New England are general
ly round shoulde,ed. This is undoubtedly
owing to the enormous weight, which they
carry on their heads! A lawyer is seldom
seen with a green bag in his hand Ibis
legal documents, and sometimes his law
books are deposited in his hat; physi-
clans hat is not unfrequentIy an apothe-
cary's shop in miniature; merchants
hat Is crammed with complies of merchan-
die; and "a stagedriver's hat is stuffed
with bundles and packages. A person
about to take short journey seldom bur.
thens himself with trunk, but takes a
change of apparel in his hat; "A late mem
Der of the Massachusetts legislature, who
represented town not more than twenty
miles from Boston, always carried his din
ner to the state house in his hat; and we
have seldom seen the hat Of an editor,
which was not stuffed with damp news
papers, stolen paragraphs, and unanswer-
ed duns! Hence editors are always round
shouldered.
The change which has lately been ef-
fected in the shape Of the hat, has been
loudly complained of, as its reduced di-
mensions put the wearers to much incon-
venience. A hat Of the most approved
modern style, will contain but little else
than pocket handkerchief, a pair of
gloves, and a few cigars. But we hope
this change in fashion, will produce a cor
responding change in the perpendicularity
of certain individual; and that those per
sons who hang doavn their heads while
wearing bell crowned hat, will soon
strut about as stiff and upright as IA pla-
toon of well drilled soldiers.
