The paper.we noticed week or two
siace, about to be established at Galena
has at length made its appearance under
the tide Of "-'he North Western Gazette
and Galena Advertiser" The character
Of the paper fully meets our expectations
1t owes its existence TO some dozen of the
bank gentry, and doubtless that institution
will receive powcrful aid through the COL
umn5 OF this federal organ in the north, II
will vil!l(y no less the patriotic course oflhe
present administration, than hold up the
aris'ocracy, as the following sentence from
the dozen editors' address indicates. "Fhe
force of the public affection TO the Union,
and The constitution of the Union, has been
amazingly weakened within the last six
years ~" SO say this bitter arislocratic
bank gentry. If we are not very much
mistaken, the above sentence was penned
by disappointed candidate for congress,
at the last August election, who held Out
jackson colors TO insure success; but this
will SHOW with what sincerity he supported
The democratic cause. More anon.

lit seems to us, affords them the only
means of extending it to the accommo-
dation Of all our citizens.
The very talented editor of the Alton
Spectator has brought the subject for
ward in the columns of that paper, with
a degree of ability Of no less magnitude
than the cause is salutary and proper.
He sees the advantages TO be derived
from the establishment of state bank
at this lime, and the favorable operations
that would result not only TO his own
town, but to the state at large.
Other towns will participate equally
in the benefits that would flow from
such an institution; an! before the bill
for a charter Of bank be laid upon the
shelf, we hope the realities of it may
be duly weighed.

The English papers are occupied with
details of the destruction of the two houses
Of Parliament, on the 18th of October, by
fire, a portion of which we have given in
another part of this paper In addition to
the misfortune of losing Hall, consecra-
ted by so many elevated associations, that
ofthe entire destruction of the liberty of the
House of Commons, and great amount OF
valuable records, will be deeply regretted
There is no reason to believe, that the fire
arose in an other way, than by accident.
A short time previous, Parliament had been
prorogned till the 25th of November. The
new Palace in St. James Park has been
placed by the King at the disposal of the

such, he is sure, will be transmitted to him.
Paris papers of the 18th state, that

From the New York Times

Massachusetts, it seems, have gon,
against US. The opposition journals ar,
loud in their notes oftriumpb, and burs
out in full chorus over this last grea
|"Whig victory" They have actually
succeeded in gaining state which ha
always been theirs. They have no
lost their power in federal Massachu
sets. ltis there that high federal doc
trines prevail more than in any state ii
the Union, that high ftderaists arc hon
orod. is there that name and the pc,
lital principles of Thomas Jefferson are
held in adherence. Democracy ha:
ever stood but poor chance in tia,
state, and the rcccntvictory is the victory
Of federalism.
We will not deprive the opposition Of
the smallest crumb efcomfort that may.
at this late day fall into their hands. ii
can do US no harm that they have sue.
ceeded in state where strict federal
principles have for years been in the as
cendant. The very fact that they have
succeeded in that state, proves what we
have repeatedly urged that the great po>
lItlcal struggle now taking place, is in
the main a contest between federalism
and democracy. Where federalism is
strong, they will be almost sure to sue
coed. And yet we assure them, that
before many years are over, even feder-
al Massachusetts will be regenerated.
Again we say, let our opponents hug
themselves over this great Wing victory.
Our triumph over them in this state has
been SO complete, the spirits of our op-
Ponents have been SO damped by their
recent discontinue, that far from wish-
ing to deprive them of the smallest par
tlcle of consolation, we are glad that
they have something which, lift will not
put them in good humor, will in some
degree. soften their bitter ft elings, that
it will induce kindlier mood than that
in which they have lately INDUCED, and
lead them 10 discard those plans of re-
venge Gmpotent indeed, and destined to
faiD which they have lately promulga>
ted. We are not sure that the official
returns from the whole state of Massa-
chusetts will prove that quite so over
whelming Wing victory has taken
place as is now reported. But if the
securing of federal Massachusetts will
console them, in the name of comfort
let them have it and make the most of
