unfounded; he is now in Texas, actively engaged

We take the following from the account III tue
u. S. Gazette of the proceedings of the stock
holders of the u S. Bank for considering the
new charter granted By the Legislature Of Penn
sylvania.
"Mr. Sergeant expressed his determina-
ton, as he had taken the floor, to bear testl-
mony to the public and private worth of
the President of the Bank, in which he
sketched. with great force and fidelity,
the features of Mr.. Biddle's conduct
in relation to the Institution, and to those
who had been in any way connected
Herewith. He had never made an enemy
to the Bank by his conduct: he had concil-
lated, by his manner, and retained for the
Institution, as friends, those who did not, un.
til the last moment, yield to the pressure OF
party requirements. Mr.. S. had never seen
the President of tie Bank irritated by abuse,
nor alarmed by menace; on the contrary,
he had soothcd the offended feelings of its
friends, and inspired them with courage
when they dropped in the view of danger.
Mr.. Scrgeant's address was marked with
that discrimination which distinguishes his
mind, and that force with which truth from
his lips always prevails.
When the resolution for the service of
plate had been adopted, MIR. BIDDLE return
ed thanks; his first speech was a detail Of
business, and an argument to the understan-
ding aud purse Of his auditors. His ex-
preston Of thanks was the eloquent burst Of
high-wrought feelings, in the polished Ian.
guage Of an accomplished scholar; his al
usion to the prosecutors Of the Bank and
himself was gcntlcmanly and dignifed.-
| The offenders were forgiven and the offence
forgotten.

1t was with sentiments IF o

at your meeting yesterday, as on. -
your candidates at the ENSUING eIeo,;o "
1t is another instance of youp pnSoS". '
we'd favor to me. | deeply regret. tbo,
peculiar circumstances should rsnJ s'
1t almost impossible for mo to he ~.
sent from home during the next winter
1t is known to many, that domestic
circumstances present an insuperabls
barrier: but, independently Of these
am engaged in a work of vast er.
tent, which requires all my personal at.
tentlon to bring ii to successful i.
sue. 1t involves a great expenditure
of money, and imposes on me grea,
amount ofbusiness and responsibility
In tins undertaking, the public, as well
as myself, are interested, and should
feel deeply deficient in duty to myself
to those connected with me in business
to my family, and even to large Dor.
ton of the people, if by want Of atten.
ton on my part, any failure should en-.
sue, IN rendering to the public those
facilities, and to ourselves those ad.
vantages, which ought perly to re.
suit, from the successful termination Of
this undertaking, Until placed in sue.
cesstul operation therefore, the high.
est sense of duty demands, that should
sacrifice every feeling ofpersonal graz
tlhcatlon, and give to it my unremitting
personal attention. The political cir.
cumstances in which our country is
placed, would certainly afford strong
reason for accepting your Aattering
nomination, were | not restrained BY
a strong sense of the duties to which
have alluded.
will further add, as an apoIogv for
declining the honor conferred on me
by your nomination, that had uni.
formly declared the impractcabFy Of
my serving in the Legislature next
winter, on account of my peculiar
circumstances, and yesterday, to o,
least twenty persons who were
present at the meeting, reiterated the
same declarations. The necessity of
returning home last night, alone pre-.
vented my attending the meeting
Under these circumstances, hope my
fellow citizens, from whom | have
heretofore received so many favors
WILL now add this further one, ofexcu
sing me for declining, as ! now do,
their late nomination.
