A Washington correspondent Of the Richmond
Compiler, gives the following description of the
members Of the Committee recently appointed
in the House Of Representatives, to investigate
the transactions of the Bank of the o. States:
Thomas, the Chairman, has nothing TO
lose, sign his name to what he will. Muh
leuburg is one of Van Burtn's tools in
Penn'a. preacher turned politici an, who
makes nothing in going two or three
"whole hogs" Mason is known better by
you than by me, and Of him, therefore,
need say nothing. Mann Of n Y. is one
of the N. Y. drill sergeants in the House,
a drum Taper when a question is taken
just as honest as Mr.. Van Buren,, and no
more so. Lyle is any thing. every thing,
goes by the last impulse, and will play the
part that Col johnson played in the last
committee-on all sides, but going all
with the party. The public can have little
or no confidence in such a committee. Ste
venson could not have made poorer Sc
lection, and why he pitched upon these
men, nobody knows, unless it be he
thought some Of them would do what no
body else would-what even the Govern
ment spies, rejected by the U. S. Senate,
would not do.
An additional motive with the Speaker for
putting such gentlemen on this great investiga-
ton, may have been desire to avoid in future
such recantations. as that of MIR. Clayton Of
Georgia. Tender consciences are now a-days
Questionable commodities, and, therefore little
in demand with the wholesale dealers in the ar.
ticle, who at this moment constitute the admins
| tration.

suspicious indication OF the result of the New
York charter election, that Doct. William Jas.
NcNevip. one of the Irish exiles who sought our
shores with Emmett and others implicated in the
political difficulties Of bis native country. has
abJured General Jackson and his arbitrary mea
sures. Doct. McNeyin was formerly warm ad-
Vocate OF the President, and from his high cha.
racter, and reputation for virtue integrity and pa.
triotism, possessed unbounded influence with his
countrymen in New York, an important class in
an election, as they number several thousand
votes. A letter from Doct. McNevin has been
published, in which he denounccs in the strongest
terms the recent measures of the Executive

The Office -holders.-An able article in the Ma.
tional Inteligeucer of the 7th inst, in which the
decision of the House of Representatives, on the
subject Of the deposites, was treated most ably,
concludes with the following passages
What all this is to end in, we are at
a loss even to conjecture. The Re.
representatives. of the People, being i'm.
plored, humbly and respectfully, for
relief from distress caused wholly by
the error of the Government, have re.
fused it. They have determined that
the error shall stand, and that, so far
as depends on them, the innocent suf.
terers by the follies Of "the Govern.
ment," shall lose no part of the ben.
ett OF the measures which their pater.
nal and potential President has, in his
wise providence, prescribed for their
especial benefit.
And now, with all hope of present
relief cut off, and nothing in prospect

to get no worse than they are, what
becomes the plain duty of Congress,
what becomes the duty Of the House
of Representatives especially, which
has, by its late vote, solemnly guaran-

distress! 1t becomes its duty to put all
