A handsome Hickory Broom was some weeks
ago sent down by gentleman in Shenandoah
County, Va, to be presented to Gen. Jackson.
1t is still in this place. but, it is expected will
shortly be presented, by the hands of Major
Jack Downing, to the President who at the
same time will hand in the following lines:
LINES, on the presentation Of a Hickory Broom, to
distinguished parsonage.
Most "potent, grave and reverend" Romanr
Surpassed, we're very sure, by no man,
Accept this emblem and kind token
A HIcKoRY BRooM-without words spoken.
Money is scarce, and business dull, L.
Reasons we trust, you'll take in foil,
Why we can't leave just now our home,
And TO the White House duteous come,
To tell pro formd, how much we
Think of the K. G.. and th' rest o. ye.
H,cKoRY BRooM! how apt and true
Is such a present now for you'll
The muse inspires us! o the pen!
Fire and faggots! at it, then
Sweep--sweep, great sir, the rabble rout:
Leave not behind a single lout
Who dares to call his soul his own;
Asks he for bread-give linn stone.
The rascal set! they to have pap
And slumber gently in the lap
Of Office. Flourish the Broomi
Office for us.-Room, boys-Room!
We're out of breath; we've said our say
We send the Broom-hurra! hurra!

EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

After an interval Of four weeks, during which
we had not received word of newssfrom Eng
land, the packet ship George Washington, Capt.
Holdridge, arrived at New York on Saturday
evening, bringing London papers to Novem-
Der 25th, and Liverpool to the 26th, both in
elusive.
There is nothing from Portugal so late as
we have received direct
The accounts from Spain continue to be ia
yorable to the Queen,
All was quiet in France.
LONDON. Nov. 23-Saturday evening-The
Consol market throughout the morning was ex-
tremely languid, and bargains very limited, but
near to the close Of business sales to the amount
of f65,000 were transacted at 81 "a. Consos
for the account left off at 81 "a to rs; Ex-
chequer- bills 40s. to Ais. premium,
Extensive F0rgeries.-A principal topic of
conversation in Dublin is the flight of John Scott
Vandaleur Esq, who is charged with forgeries
TO a large amount. The Bank Of England is
said to be the principal sufferer in forged pow
ers of attorneys. The Limerick branch banks
are losers in E900; and some bankers in Dublin
have sustained considerable loss.
LONDON, Nov. PA rupture is reported to
have lust taken place between France and Swe-
den. Ambassadors have been reciprocally with
drawn: the commercial intercourse between the
two States will continue to be regulated by con-
sular agents, but diplomatic relations between
the Courts of Paris and Stockholm have entire
ly ceased. And why all this? We are asked
Only on account of play. Precious absurdity
and how delightfully."- striking!
The King of Sweden required the King of
the French to suspend the performance of Gus
tave on lie Bal Masque, at the French Opera,
and the Camarde al Lit, at the Vaudeville; and
because Louis Philippe refuses offence is taken
"a rupture ensues; Mon. de ST. Simon is re-
called from Stockholm, and M. de Lowenheim,
who happens to be absent is ordered not to re-
turn to Paris.

TNHE public are respectfully inform

YTyHE public are respectfully informed that
Il the Academy recently established by the
Rev. ]. SMITH, at the corner of Royal and
Duke streets, Alexandria, is now permanently
in operation, and ready for the reception OF stu
dents.
The course of education pursued in this Aca-
deny comprises all the various branches that
constitute sound English and Classical Educa-
ton 1t embraces the Latin, Greek, French and
English Languages; Logic; Natural and Moral
Philosophy; Mathematics; History Ancient and
Modern; Geography; the use ofthe Globes; Flo
cution; English Grammar, Reading, Writing,
&c. &c.
The Classical Department of this Institution
will be conducted by Mr. H. G. Mclaughlin,
gentleman of high classical attainments, and Of
long experience in the education of youth, hav-
ing been employed for a considerable time as
a Professor in one of the most distinguished Uni
versities in this country.
The object ofthe gentlemen concerned in this
Institution is to impart to those who may be en-
trusted to their charge solid and thorough
knowledge of the Classics, adopting as their
mode the &C ratio studioruna' which has so de-
servedly attracted the attention and secured the
appreciation ofthe Literati of Europe and Anne
RIGA; system which, if properly attended to,
can alone store the mind with useful and solid
knowledge, and form the elegant and profound
classic scholar. 1t need hardly be remarked
ilClC, IHut ILLS VIC ~
tice which has of late been introduced into ma
ny of our most respectable schools, of putting
into the hands of youth books composed Olsen
fences and phrases selected from the different
authors, and substituting such ercerpta for the
original mode which may, indeed, lead to
rapid and superficial acquaintance but can ne
yer convey the beauty, STYLE or spirit ofthe Re-
man and Athenian writer's. This remark is
suggested merely from a conviction ofthe supe-
riOritV of this system over every other at pre-
sent known, without any reference or alusion
whatever.
In the english Department the most concise
and exact method will be pursued, and compe-
tent teachers provided
Music will be taught without any extra charge.
Hours of attendance from to IL A. NJ, and
from to P. NJ; during which time the strict
est attention will be paid to the morals of the
students.
Terms made known by applying to Mr.. Hugh
G. Mclaughlin, at the Academy, or Rev. John

MR.. RIvES' SPEECH,
On the Remopat Of the Deposites.

Mr. RIVES rose, and said-Mr. Presidents
During my connection with this honorable and
enlightened body, ! have always felt it better
for me to appear in the capacity of listener,
than in that of speaker There.are questions
and occasions, however, upon which an indivi-
4 dual must either speak, or suffer his silence to
be misconstrued. Such, sir, are the crcumstan-
ces under which now address the Senate
Sir, the subject which we are considering, is adj
mitted, on all hands, TO be one of the greatest
Importance Much Of the distress under which
the country is said to be laborng, is attributed
10 it believe that distress to be considerably
exaggerated, and, trust it will be of short du-
sation-sti, of the fact, that there is distress
and embarrassment in the community, at the
present moment | think there can be no doubt.
nremains, sir, for us to investigate its nature,
and apply the remedy. In discharging this high
DUTY however, let US be careful that we do not
mistake symptom for the original disease. |
believe that disease to be more deeply seated,
man the honorable mover of the resolutions be-
lore the Senate, seems to suppose. 1t has its
origin in our own legislature. believe that the
cautery and the knife will be needed, to rid US
OF Its baneful effects. must say, sir, that the
present distress comes upon us, accompanied
WIN great degree of consolation. Ii will ava
men us 10 the alarming character of the power,
WHICH now sits enthroned in our State Banks,
IN all the pride of chartered prerogative. In
ail, SIR aid the early republicans of our coun-
10y point out the injurious effects of these insti
i faa, In vain was the warning voice of Mr..
so nsson, who told us that of all Institutions,
S,,; la was me most deadly enemy to our Consti-
The day might arrive, when such an

S CHA, nignt supersede the Government Invain,

CO.. csol rom hentucky, warn us upon former
We ssaslon, OF these dangers. In vain, sir, have
tho Received all these warnings. But, / hope,
ms eApefience We now possess, will bring us to
hs opinion as to the propriety of permitting
1A'stence OF such an institution as the Bank
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1834-01-22

the Senate a plan to bring about SO desirable a
state of things Sir, in Contemplation of that
measure, we should be rid of an institution
which cannot exist conformity with it.
It may be asked would not concur in a
measure for redressing the injuries which the
bank may sustain? Sir, if any wrong had been
done to the bank, | would feel myself called
upon to redress the injury; but no such wrong
has been done. The honorable Senator from
South Carolina has said that the question is
confined to the action of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, and he observed that the Bank of the
United Staes was no farther involved, than
with regard to the safety of the depostes..
My own opinion on that subject differs
from the Senator, who thinks the money is
exempt from the power of the Secretary of
the Treasury. (Here Mr. Calhoun, as we I'M
derstood him, said there was doubt on that
point) believe, continued Mr.. R., that the
whole conduct Of the Bank, in regard to the
depostes now under consideration, was the
cause of the withdrawal of the depostes. The
Secretary did it on account of the conduct of
the Bank, in violating its charter; and this posi-
ton will now endeavor to establish.
