 Mr. Preston has put much earnestness and talent in his manner of arguing the de- pesit question and has so thoroughly exposed the ultimate motives of the party now seeking to establish an Albany regency at Washing ton, that regret to think somewh hat under valued his powers in my last. He made Mir. Van Buren certainly shrink in the chair; this was obtious upon one or two occasions, though not quite as much so as when MT. Clay called up the ''unusual crimson' into his Vice Presidential cheeks. by sounding in his ears "non cOmmittal you and know very well what that means. sir" Van Buren's equanimity was completely upset upon this occasion, and there he sat blushing and self convicted of charge which MT. Clay is un- derst0od to have said had no intentional personal reference at the time. Mr. Clay, however, perceiying how une nexpectedly he had brought the tell tale blood from it's la- tent recesses, was mischievous enough to say to the Vice. on meeting him in the lobby, |" Really, Mr. Vice President, had no inten- ton of heinz personal on this occasions and take the earliest opportunity of assuring you of it." "I believe it, sincerely. MT. c. he re- piled, but in fact saw it coming, and could not stand it." In like manner, MT. PrestOn's denunciation of the Albany regency intended to be established at Washington operated up- on the'nerves of the Vice President, like a T E., knfH and | h. served that the twitching did not subside for some time.-Phu.

 In his speech delivered in Congress on Thursday last, Mr. Huntington, of Connect cut, observed-
 He doubted whether even the sound banks in the city of New-York would afford any facilities to exchange. Suppose those Banks authorise drafts upon them from the 1 wesfern towns, who IS tO buy them Not the local western banks. But the branches of the United States Bank purchased drafts to ar immense amount in those places, upon New-York. Fifty millions in specie woGli not give to the western States the facilities of exchange with the north which are afforded to them by the United States Bank"
 Neither the speakers in Congress. nor the presses of the administration, in discussing the all-absorbing and vital question now agita- ting the country. have the candor or the pa trotism to look at the subject in its true and just light. They all assail the bank-they all charge the bank with oppression, with an a. buse of it's powers-they all discuss the expe- diency and constitdtionality of such an insti- tution-when, in fact, no subject involving such principles, is now before the nation. or before Congress. It is, has the President the po,cer to dispose of the public rerenue as he plea ses? Has the President the po,cer to remove the Secretary of the Treasury, because he re|a- ses to, do an illegal net? Has Me President the pos0er and right to VioLate he charter ofthe bunk. and. acithoat an act of Congress, or the pretence cf danger. remore the public deposiips These are questions upon which the very existence of this republic depends because. if the President has the power he claims to ex- ercise. upon his responsibility, then our form of government is changed at once. and the President holds the sscord and purse strings and has only to declare himself Dictator, and he is so 10 all intents and purposes.

Wilkins. in the Senate of the United States, upon introducing memo rial from the inhabitants of Pittsburg. on the pecuniary distress experienced by them, which they ascribe |" the removal of the deposites, made some remarks. Pittsburg is the resi- dence ofSenator Wilkins, when he is at home, | and the memorial was the result of meeting. which he said he was willing to confess was numeronsly attended, and by large portion of his own constituents; hut he said they la bored under mistake as io the existence of distress in the Western part of tho country.- He then goes on at some length to shew how ( .H.uAs -F
