 The speech of Gen.

Mr. Hendricks, would save t tor us. l I am reiOieed to see Gen. TiptOn taking sncn decided grounds. The Globe will soon open ifs batteries upon him, hut as he sa'd' tne Globe must establish character for veracIty befOre it can iDiure him where he is known. The Globe is treasury to the Wh'g parry
 We ought to give it premium. It's ier0- ciOus violence and fO.pl .mouthed abuse have driven many Jacksonman into our ranks. Such man as General Tipton, who has man- ifested his devotion to what he considered ms duty not only in the councils 0t hls country but in the battle field, is an acquisition |" any party,-and the more the Globe abuses him, the hetfer service it will do us. His remarks, and what Mir. Webster said after he sat down, ! recommend to the attention 0f your rrac- CTS. Indeed, what aa absurd idea that of ihe Presidents is, which proposes tO make ap- propriations fnr the improvements of rivers Constitutional, where there are ports Of entry, and Unconst;tutional where there are none, as ii Congress could thus, at its pleasure. make and un,nake the Constitution, by establishing ports of entry !-U.

 Shoot the Deserter.-Gen. Tipton, Senator from Indiana, has slipped the collar He took the liberty of making the following remarks few days since, which prove him 10 be at least an independent politician. Itis believed that the Senators from Indiana, will hence forward be found voting with the opposition i:
 "I have recently been taught that a system is praciised to keep men silent that are dis posed to speak out. When Congress dlourn- ed last summer. addressed circular to my constituents. informing them of .yhath bad been done for their benefit, and what wassieft un- done, but said nothing fattering of the treat ment that the Wabash bill had met with, and concluded by advising the people to correct these wrongs at the ballot box. After the publication Of my circular, the Globe. news paper printed in this city. devoted :hrpe or four of iiselung columns in abusing me, be- cause had dared thus 10 address nag constitu ents. But, sir, do not feel injured ny this uttack ofthe Globe.
 The writer in that paper must establish a character for truth aud geracity among the people of Indiana before they will take his word against one they have known long and known well. The writer of the article refer red 10 has mistaken his man, if he thinks hat can be lashed into silence for the power of the press, nor DO othRT power, can iatimidate or will keep me silent while the interest of h. diana is ai stake. and in this case of the Wa bash bill contend that justice has moi beeo meted out to her.
 A President ar other public officer, is but transient being here to day. gone to- n1orroc hut the principles of justice upon which our government should be administered are i'm mutable and will endure in all time to come.

We learn from the Norfolk Advertiser, that the principal wtnes- ses against Devoe were an Englishman named Slater (who participated in the robbery and has turned States evidence) and his wife. On Friday noon, the case was submitted to the Jury, who after short absence returned a yirdict of guilty.
 The testimony of Slater was of deeply interesting character. The Bank was robbed of $2S,00O in bills and 2,40O in specie. Sla- ter states that the robbery was committed by himself, DevDe. and two others not yet ares : ted, named Thorn and Graves.-These four remained in the Bank ain hour or two--where they counted over the money, and divided it equally among themseIves-ihe specie they did not count. but put it into four bags, and made them, as near as they could judge, of equal weight. Slater afterwards sealed up hls bills very carefully in two jars, and conceal ed them in pasture in Dorchester, where they have been found. andt S5,5OO restor- ed 10 it's rightful owners. The bank was en- tered at five or six different times, ard many ingenious contrivances were resOrted to for the purpose of 6.ting keys to the locks of the vault, &c. Slater hired house in South Boston, in which they titird up a temporary workshop, and prepared their implements j 'Devoe teing a boarder with him.
 Alter the verdict of guilty was rendered a. gainst Devoe, he disclosed the place W here his share (another $5,50O) of the money was concealed. and left Dedham the same evening, hand-cnHrd and attended by officers. for the purpose of pointing out the spot The.nffi- cers returned yesterday, and remanded De- voc to jail. They found the money buried in a Jar, at a spot which he pointed out, near the Catholic hurying ground in South Boston, Boston Transcript.
 Devoe has been sentenced tO three days solitary confinement, and twelve years hard labor in the State Prison.
