Of the U. S. Navy, and daughter Of Mr.. w. p.
Adams.-Though this lovely flower has been
gathered in The morning Of her life, yet was she
bright, full and beautiful exhibition of virtue
All the gentler graces adorned her. Delcacy Of
mind, serenity Of disposition, amiabeness of man
ners, and unusual purity Of heart-were her
beaming characteristics. These with sound in
tegence and moral taste, with elevated faith and
religious affections prompted her to the censcien-
tious and becoming performance Of her various
duties, and rendered her extremely beloved by all
who knew her. With every reason to cherish
the most pleasing visions Of hope, and 70 make
life desirable, still she calmly learned that all her
sublunary hopes were to be disappointed. Then,
with meek submission, she promptly relinquished
her hold on earthly joys, and directed all her
feelings and affections to heaven and eternity;
and, with the same holy faith and serenity that
marked her life, she surrendered her spirit to

CONDUCT OF THE PRESIDENT.

Letters from Washington, of high i'm
portance, are in town. 1T is said that the
Message ofthe President, re-nomiuating
the rejected Bank Directors, is not only
abusive towards the Senate, but is of n
threatening character. Ii is said that
the President demands the confirmation
of these nominations, and utters threat
that in the event of refusal to comply
with his behest, he will not only not
make any other nominations of Directors,
but will APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. In what
way we do not learn-whcther by ma
nifcsto through the columns OF the Globe,
or by call upon the People to assem-
BILE and punish the refractory subordi-
mates. The nominations will, Of course,
be rcjectcd-and we hope PROMPTLY
When this is done, the further report is,
that the Senate will remove the injunc-
ton Of secrecy-publish the proceed
ings- and also make an address TO .he
public Great excitement prevailed at
Washington.

The National Intellgencer of Friday
last, says:-"The Cabal, who surround
and influence the President in the rash
career which threatens the ruin of the
country, persuade him that the cause Of
the public distress, is the curtailments OF

have seen, by the reports of the visiting
committees, is the Presidents answer to

varying reply. How stands the fact?-
BY an official statement of the Bank, il
is shown that its discounts are much
greater, in proportion to its deposites,
than they were before the depositcs were
removed.
But here is another fact. BY an Off
cial statement from the Girard Bank Of
Philadelphia, in which the public depo-
sites are made, it appears that, notwilh-
standing the advantage of tho Govern
mept depositcs, it has, since the l4th OF
December, reduced is discounts near half
n million Of dollars. We have very lit
lie doubt that such IL also the fact, 10 a
greater or less extent, with tho other de-
posite banks. 1t is not the Bank Of the
United States, merely, that is struck by
the measures Of the Executive, aimed at
it, but it is the public faith that is woun-
ded, that membrane of the body polite,
so delicate that the slightest injury to il
produces universal paralysis. Every one
asks his ncghbor, and none of his neigh
bors can answer his question, what is to
happen nest"

A committee Of eight was appointed to
fill any vacancies in the ticket that might
occur, and also to ascertain their views
explicitly on the subject. Some very a
BILE remarks were made by MIR. Rivers
on this point. In the course Of his re-
marks he said he did not care what the
candidates former political views were.
1t was immateral with him whether he
was Jackson man, an Anti-mason, or
National Republican. He had only two
questions to ask; the FIRST was, is he a
Constitu,ionalist and favorable to the
views of the Constit utional party ?-the
second was, is he man of good moral
character and respectability. If these
questions were answered in the aflirma-
tive, the candidates would receive his
vote.
