A public meeting was held, recently, at
Cincinnati, at which upwards of three thou
sand people, mostly farmers and working
men, were present. Resolutions were a
dopted expressing the sense of the meeting
that it is expedent to renew the charter of
the present bank with notifications; or, if
that cannot be done with Executive appro-
baton, to establish National bank as a
substitute plan for which was sanctioned
by the meeting. The Gazette, in noticing
the meeting, has the following remark:
"There can be no mistake no'c about
public opinion here. This is no Jackson,
Van Buren,, Mclean, or Clay concern. 1t
is matter that affects all. and in respect
TO which it should be distinctly understood,
there is but one opinion except among those
connected with office, or looking forward
60 such connexion."

It might also be gratifying to the public
to know how much il wonid require to in
duce man, whose sense of the force OF
moral obligations is rather obtuse, to sacri-
flee his conscience and violate a solemn
promise?
l hope you will give satisfactory answers
TO the above queries, that the public may
know how to appreciate the motives which
induced you to change the political coufse
you had marked out; and that they may be
able - estimate the value of your 'sdisin-
ierested" efforts to sustain the pretensions
Of the distinguished gentleman" who re
that the sAdams men should be
whipped OUT of office like dogs out ola

of recent date. The BelIepile committee
COMMITTEE of claims we believe they are
called recently sent out the dismal INTEL
ligence to the people, that the state was in
volved in debt, and about to be overwhelm-
cd in ruin, all through the s.inefficiency and
want of fnanciering genius"'in the presen,
chief ma gstrate. "VandaIia.'' the assum-

some additions of his own. But most I'M

eyinces so great a want Of "fnancerino
gonius," is the very man who has opposed,
first and last, the illadvIsed measures which
have resulted IN bringing about the stale of
affairs of which they complain OF the
state debt, now fel! to be a burden. the bank
law has undoubtedly been the primary and
most active cause. When that law was
passed, ihe"present chief magistrate" was a
member OF the council of revision, and one
of the three, who foreseeing the mschiefs
to which it would lead, refused it their
sanction; but Notwithstanding their oppo-
siiion the law WIS passed, and the people
are row reaping the benefits of it. At the
same lime the "Farmer candidate" brought
forward to relieve the state from all its bur
dens, is known to have been one Of the
most active supporters OF the law, and con-
tributed as much to its passage, doubtless,
as any member of the legislature. We
have here a proof of his "fnancering gen.
Jus" quite as satisfactory as that furnished
in ''the management Of his own afairs.'
These facts are within tho recollection Of
the people and need no further corrobora

REPORTED COMPROMISE We have heard
verbal reports to the same effect with the
following, which we copy from the St i.
Louis Republican of the 7th:
We hear by gentleman who arrived
yesterday in niue days from Philadelphia !,
that IN consequence of the representations
nude at Washington, by committees from
Albany, New York, Philadelphia, &c.
Mr.. VAN buren, had been induced 10 AGREE
TO RE-cHARTER OF THE BANK OF THE
UNITED STATES FOR THE FURTHER TERM
OF THREE YEARS. In the mean while :b.,
question Of rcnewal of the charter, ur the
creation OF a new hank, after tina; term,
could lie deliberately decided Nv the peo-
pie. The assent of Mr.. Van Baren having
seen obtained to this compromise, little
doubt was entertained of its success. It
was expected that Mr.. Webster would IN
iroduce he bill, and thar the constitutions,
maj 'rity would be obtained for lis passage.
rs necessary consequence of the adop-
hoo OF this measure, we suppose, the de-
p2sItes will be restored to the Bank of the
United States.
Our dates from Washington are to the
24th. The above report is not confirmed ,
nor is any ailusion made to compromise
IN any shape. 1t was said, Mr.. WEBSTER
would probably bring forward bill 50 n ),
to ertend the charter of the bank for three
years; but il is not intimated that such a
proposition would find favor with the presi-
dent or his advisers.
