 On the second page we have atso given sxsraetS
 from some other speeches. The extract from that of Ms. Clay in which he appeals drseiytO the feelings of Mr. Van Buren, is saAIO have had in itG delivery most thrilling effect upon the Senators and the audi enee who were assembled. But we presume it will be like water spilled upon the gvesnd.' The Vice. President and his satellites are too much joined to
 their Idol to suffer he voice Of truth to reach h;s ea OThe Report of the Directors ofthe Bank ofGh6 United Satee, published in today's paper, sh0eId be carefully examined by every person desrous 10 ascer
 in the truth respecting ,he dscoun,s by is Institu- ton. Charges of grossly and vindiciive constantly made against it, because it does notcontinue to extend its dscounts--becadss it does not extend them even beyond the of safety 10
 iselfyet it appeats that notwithstanding great a. mount of public dsposites have been withdrawn from
 its vaulis its dscoSnts have not been very greatly les sened-they have not by any means kept pace with the withdrawal qf the government funds. The effort

 Zhe UIico Election for Aldermen was held few days ago. and resulted in the choice of the entire op position board by average majority of 277. A year ago the Jackson party succeeded by majority of 800 difference in one year in small city only 1077! !- And n the county of Oneida the aBti-Jackson party
 have succeeded in tscentyone oftwenty-six towns whereas last year the Jackson party elected their Member of Congress by large majority. was this same member (Beardsley) who held on the floor of Congress, in his remarks upon the deposi,e question, this language: Perish credit, perish COMMERCE, pe rish the STATE lNSTITUTIONS-giveu us 6ro- Ken, decayed scorthless carency rather than submi, 10 have the J. s.

 4 Jackson Member ef Cong, part of the report of the delegation appointed carry the Memo rial of the citizens of Baltimore Washington tsays the Bosion Messenger which describes their iwier- view with Mr. McKi1s, Of the Representatives of that city in Congress, appears to contain candid sowal of,he principles by which he is governed in his official conduct. It shows a degree of political sub serviency which we have oitea seen practised but have never before heard avowed by representative of the people. It dscOses important truths, in relation to the character of the admnisaiOR, which deserve hs saeRiBto serious consideration y those who have supposed themselves to De living under al free representative government.
 "It is here distinctly avowed by adherens of the President, and of those whose to sup port him in his ruinous measures that friend ofthe administration "could differ in opinion with Gen Jack son and preserve his influence, ,'-,ha. "any attempt 10 advise Gen. Jackson by his friends, would be met by expression ofdispleasure, ,and that the person who makes this avowa, i" elected to support Gen. Jackson, and he would do at the risk of his life and fortune" These are the leading principles of Jack son republcansm. The p"rport of these declarations is, that Gen. Jackson can do no wrong-shat he may do he plsases, and the party members of Congress beipg elected to support him. bound do 60, at ahe, risk of life and foranetha no one caw advise him withou. being met with expression of his dis pleasure or differ from him in opinion, without there. by losing his influence. This is the character of Gen. Jackson and his administration, drawn by one of his friends and relied apology for no do-
 ing an act which would dsplease him. It is a state ment not careessy made by aa irresponsible individ- ual, but deliberately given by member of Congress for not acting according to his own judg. meni, which he admitted, differed from that of Gene ral Jackson, in matter of the utmost importance to his constituents. If such be the principles of ma jority of the members of Congress- of what use is that they tihere for monhs idly debslng questions which afer all to be decided according to Gen. Jaekson's diciaion "Let the people inquire how many members of that body there are wLo act on these principles. Is this the creed of the Jackson party lf Il be 90, it s time the people knew 1t, that
 their numbers may be swelled by those only who give their assent to the creed." - .s-
