TO the Editor of the Alexandria Gozeae.


Mr.. SNowDEN:-I am very glad to see that the
efforts made to reduce the salaries of officers of
the Government, in all probability will fail for
the present. Office holders are not apt to be
popular with the people, know; especially
since SO many removals have been made; and
am free to confess that never was an adyo.
cate Of the doctrine of prescription, and al.
ways thought Gen Jackson went too far turn.
ing so many people out Of Office But then the
Representatives of the people, and the people
themselves, ought to recollect that the laborer
is worthy of his hire, and that men must be
well paid if work is expected to be well done
Many ofice-holders have now no more than
they can live upon, and it would be unjust to
retain their services and deprive them Of the
means of subsistence. Upon the whole hone
every body will be content to let wellenougb
alone"-to let things go on in the old way
Yours, respectfully, A JACKSON Man.

BANK TACTICS.

Mr.. Webster has at length announced his inten-
ton of moving continuation or re-charter of the
Bank. This is the real object of the recent move
ments-and we not at all astonished to see the
cloven foot at last.
Mr.. w. INDUCES hopes Of success! He seems
determined TO Dragon the country into his terms.
He tells the Senate, that they must not think Of ad
JoMH,ng until the dstresses Of the country are rea-
eved-tba is, until the national Bank is prolonged.
lie tells us at once, by what process this result is TO
be accomplislIed-tbat is, by keeping Congress in
session-and by bringing public sentiment to act on
the House of Representatives. He asserts, that
the People changing under the pressure-the
States are sending OH their Resouons-and Con.
gress must and will at last give way.
This is the tactics of the Bank men-and thug IL
is they expect to triumph over the Constitution.
LIST. The session is to he proloDged-and the a,es-
ton kept opep; when IL was nvowed by the friends
of the Bank, Mt the commencement of the session
that the question ought to he decided at opce--a
suspense ought to be ierminaied-and then the Bank
and the public might know what 10 EXPECT Mr.
Webster was among those who declared that the
question ought to he adjusted as soon as possible
Aud is not this just view Of the subject? Put an
end TO all suspense-let the Bank be convinced that
It mas nothing To expect from Congressman who
does not believe, that it will forthwith accommodate
itself TO its destiny that it would forbear every eff
fort 10 obtain e-cbarter ease the fears of the State
Banks, and give relief to the country?
But in the 2nd place, who those that propose
to prolong the session Not the II. of r. which is
opposed to the restoration, while IL expresses the
voice Of the people--but the Senate, which grossly
mlsrepresents their constituents. The complexion
