~, has been stated, and that too by
some who profess themselves friendly
to lithotripsy, that this operation will
be found applicable to small minori-
ty only ofthe cases Of stone. The am.
pie experience Of the European gentle.
men, engaged in the performance of
this operation, backed also by my own
limited observations, has led me to q
very different conclusion. I believe
that of the cases Of stone in adults,
eight out Of ten will be found suitable
to the operation Of lithotripsy. Stcne
occurring among children | do not
take into consideration, because, in
them the operation oflithotomy is com

LITHoTRIPsY.-Our worthy towns-
man, Mr.. David Hays, has returned
from Philadelphia. whittier he went in
the early part Of October, for the pur-
pose of seeking relief from one of the
most distressing maladies to which hu.
man nature is subject, namely stone in
the bladder. The operation Of Litho.
tripsy was successfully performed by
Dr.. J. RANDOLPH of that city, who, by
this method efecteda complete cure in
the course of two weeks.-The stone
was extracted without making use Of
any cutting instrument whatever. Mir.
Hays states that he suffered very little
pain from the operation, and that he
was not confined to bed a single day
by sickness, which considering that his
age is three score and ten, is certainly
high evidence Of the praciicabiity and
value of the operation.-Ne,0ark Dali

WHAT ARE THE Wines TO DO ?--This
question has been frequently put to us
since the last election. What would
Bonaparte have answered, if it had been
asked ofhm how an army of 10000
men should be disposed of Would he
have said s'dsband them?" The great
Wing party in the State ofNew York can
poll the above vote--with all the power
Of the General and State Governments a.
gainst them. can poll the above vote
six or seven thousand more votes, would
give them the control ofthe whole State.
Shall we retreat in the face of victory !?
Shall we abandon the ground and the
strength of our position' But allowing
that our force was weaker and the enemy
stronger, what is our aim, our object, our
ultimate views? To preserve the Con-
stitution and Laws of the Republic. In
such cause, we should continue united
while there is man left--while there is
a sentinel to guard the outposts.

MAcKLIN's ADVICE TO HIS SON.

II have often told you that every man
must be the MAKER or MARRER oil his
own fortune. Irepeat the doctrine he
who depends upon his incessant industry
and integrity, depends upon patrons of
the noblest and most exalted kind, these
are the creators of fortune and fame, the
founders of families, and can never disap-
point or desert you.-They control all
human dealings, and turn even vicissi-
tudes of an unfortunate tendency to a
contrary nature. You have genius, you
have learning, you have industry AT
TIMES, but you want PERSEVERANCE {:
without it you can do nothing. l bid
you bear this motto in your mind con-
stantly,--'PERsEvERE.'

Tie President and tie Post Office.

Andrew Jackson has undertaken to
tell the people OF New Orleans that the
Senators from Louisiana, being in the
majority Of that body, are to blame in
part, for the reduction Of the daily to
tri.weekly mail between Mobile and
that city, and not the Post Master Gen.
eral. Hear his argument. "His Qhe
Post Master Generals plan of retrencb-
meui would have brought the expendi-
lures of the department within its rev.
enuss, in the course Of short period,
without louching the arrangements then
existing for the transportation Of the
mail, if Congress had granted the mod.
crate loan applied for at the last ses-
sion." IF Congress had loaned a
moderate half million or mere, Mr.
Barry might have gone on in depart
meat, which ased to put money into the
Treasury, instead Of looking 10 the
Treasury for aid. Here is lhe Presio
deus sancIioning The extsavagancies and
conceptions Of the Post Office over his
official signature, and blaming Congress
for not doing the same! What pre-
sumption! what unheard of arrogance !!

AN ADDRESS.

The members OF this convention, assem-
bled for the purpose of taking into consd-
eeation the important subject of the loca-
ton of the future seat of government of
the state of Illinois, as that great subject
has been submitted to the action of the peo-
pie, by law of the last legislature, pro-
viding for its permanent location for the
future, would respectfully submit to their
fellow citizens few of the reasons which
have influenced them in their deliberations
and respectfully invite their concurrence
and cooperation therein, in order to secure
harmony and concert upon this subject.
We are induced to the opinion, that none
of our Gellow-citizens will doubt for ont
moment, that the location of the presen
seat of government of the state in the towr
of Vandaiia, is injurious and unjust to thu
interest and convenience Of the great bo
'dy Of the people Of the state. We are in

damages, in the same manner in whict
the United States have. for forty-fiye
years notified similar claims to the draw
ers and endorsers Of dishonored bills
and enforced them too without any ex.
ception. If this notification of a claim
Is sufficient to deprive the bank of her
right to the public deposites, the minor.
lty are not unwilling that the character
OF the other reasons shall be inferred
from that of their asset late. :
The minority are Of the opinion that
none OF the reasons assigned by the sec
rotary in his communication to congress
are sufficient to justify the removal of
the deposites. They are also of opin-
ion that it is due to the bank to return
them without regard to the sentiment of
TIE house upon the subject of recharter.
They are further Of opinion thatthe sit
uation of the country requires immedi
ate action by congress, to restore public
confidence, and to prevent a derange
ment of the currency. And they ex-
press to the house their settled convic-
ton that these objects will not be at
tanned if the public dcposites are left in
the state banks. They think, besides,
that the universal voice of the country
requires that something shall be imme.
dlatcly done for public relief, and that
the resolutions proposed by the commit
tee, will only aggrayate the existing e.
wills, instead of providing remedy.

CONGRESSIONAL.


PUBLIC DEPOSITES.
Mr.. McDuGe having concluded his re
) marks,
Mr.. Mason briefly remarked, that in hi
poor Judgment, the time had come when i
was necessary that something should be
done by the house to allay the excitement
which prevailed on this momentous ques.
ton. The debate had gone on so long,
that although the supporters of the admin
'stralion might have some cause to com
plain for having n decision now taken in
the face of the eloquent blaze they had
just heard from the honorable member from
South Carolina, their opponents could not.
He therefore demanded The previous ques-
ton.
Mr.. Briggs, and Mr.. Hall of North Car
olina were appointed tellers, and the house
seconded the calI-Ayes 1l4-Nays l05.
MIR. Setden rose to a question of order.
By the 36lh rule of the house, no member
should vote upon question in which he
was interested.
The Speaker decided that such ques-
ton could not be then raised; the house
having seconded the call for the previous
question.
Mr.. Seldom said he understood there
were many members who, being stockhold-
ers in the state banks selected bv the Sec
rotary for the depository Of the public mo-
ney, were interested in the present ques-
ton, and came within the rule.
The Speaker said, when any member
who was interested was about to vote, then
was the time to raise such an objection.
Mr.. Vance moved an adjournment.
Mr.. Polk called for the yeas and nays on
his motion; which was ordered
The motion was decided in the negative,
yeas l03, nays ll9.
Mr.. Dickson, Of New York, moved a
call of the house, and called for the yeas
and nays; which were ordered, and q mo-
ton for call was rejected. Yeas 100
nays 1870.
Mr.. CAiion said, if it was in due order,
he would move that the first resolution, viz
"That the Bank of the United States ought
not to be rechartered," should be laid on
The table.
The Speaker decided, that inasmuch as
Il motion to lay on the table was of the
second class of privileged questions, whilst
a call for the previous question was in the
third class, the motion Of Mr.. c. having
precedence, was in order.
Mr.. Chiffon then asked for the yeas and
nays on his motion to lay the joint resolu-
ton on the table, which were ordered; and
the question thereon having been put, was
decided in the negative-Yeas 81, Nays
!, LOG.
SO the house refused to lay the resolution
on the table.
Mr. Wide appealed to the courtesy Of
the house, as il was obvious there could be
no further debate, to permit vote to be
taken, that his friends might have an op
. portunity of recording their sentiments or
, the amendment submitted by him, "tha
the reasons of the secretary of the treasu'
ry were insufficient"
The Speaker said this was not in order
except by unanimous consent Of the house
,, Mr.. Polk objected
Mr.. Bnrd then moved to lay the othe
resolutions (being the I'd, Sd and 4th) @
: the committee on the table.
: Mr.. Ba,ringer called for division {

BANKS BANKS

Witness with deep concern the disposition 10 create
new BANKS IL is IN disregard of true policy. and
with the general feeling OF the State There are MANY
objections to Banks which it is all-mporant should now
be well considered LIST. Bank currency is at war
with metallic one. Cd When the metals are driven
from circulation the Banks possess too great power
over the property and industry of the country DO the
Banks discount treely-property throughout the State
rises I'm value. DO they curtail declines; and thus
the whole State is made to feel the caprice and
tcs-the judicious injudcious management of the
Banks which il has comparatively but little if any
controui Sd. The creation of Banks having the ina
ence they must and will exercise ia al war with
the spirit of our free institutions We change our
laws and our Constitution at picasmc-nay IL il our
boast; but part with, and for price, TO chartered
company the power over our currency, and indirectly
over the comforts and property of people for fixed
period of time. This is madness and folly
The redundancy of the paper system is now acknow-
lodged by all parties and to be hoped that instead of
increasing the number OF Banks, those existing will
not III violation of their charter restricted i'm their
issues to notes of larger denomination than So IL is
matter of deep To the country that its basis of
metallic circulation should be enlarged so tat The rcot
body of the people should be directly and Immediate
reached in their every day TRANSACTIONS by every con
Vuon, arising from caprice necessity in the BANKING
world.
In France, there is but Bank, which issues no
note under 800 francs (about 4) and there is consc
qucny circulation there of 527 millions of specie In
France the great body of the people never feel the ope
ra0ns oil stockobbers and rarely the commissions
OF the commercial world and the consequence is sta

TONS OF society," which her prosperity far be-
yond that of any nation in Europe.
In England, since the suppression of the five pound
notes large amount of specie estimated at l7 millions
OF dollars has entered into circulation given ncreas

Banking capital of the State 1t will unqucstionaby
at war with the wishes of our fellow citizens as it is be-
vnnd all fnnht with tho 49,: l.s.s ,:,i~-.

In submitting these hasty remarks my expectation is
not to en!ghten for for that have neither time nor
ability; but my earnest hope is, attention of some
of our able men may be drawn the subject which
regard as more deeply interesting this future re
neraons, than any, that has sprung of these excl
