pears from tha date CT our outer form
to-day. Probably we have been living
too fast, or rather our coRREcToR of the
types. However, he promises reforma.
ton, we therefore note the error. 1t is
dated the 9TH instesd of the 9th.
GT From the state Of parties 10 the
Senate of the U. States, it seems. that
the Vice President, Van Buren,. has the
casting vote, as the parties stand "a for
tho Administration, and ~ Opposition.

Bank with its entire capital Of IS ,ooo.-
600 dollars, passed the House Of Repre-
sentstivss, of Pennsylvania. in commit
tee of the whole. on the soth ult. a
Harrisburg paper, "The Reporter" says,
s.from the disposition shown in commit.
tee. il will receive the entire Wing sna
ansi-masonic support in its fs.are pro-

with certainty. calcalate on it's being re-
chartered,
VT We stated last week that MI.

% From our last number the reader
will have discovered that the GREAT
WEAK MAN, as he has been styled, in
Congress, from Massachusetts, Mr.. AD-
ANS. was taking sides with ''THE pAR-
TX" In order to give our readers some
information relative 10 this matter, as
also, some light on the conduct of GER.
TAIN PERSONS on the last night of the
last session Of Congress, we publish in
succeeding columns to-day, two letters
from the Washington Correspondent of
the Baltimore Patriot, TO which we ape
cialIy invite the attention of our readers.
The speaker who makes this expoae, Mr..
Wise, has done himself great credit, and
will receive the praise ofevery unbiased
patriot. The facts stated must astound
all, and the declaration Of our aEpUHLi-
GAN President, after hearing Of the Se-
Mates rejecting his favofite nominee to
the Supreme Court, that he would re-.
csive no communication from the ---
Tascals, and would not sign the fortified.
tion bill ifthe 5000, 900 dollars were not
allowed him to expend as in HIS wisdom
HE might conceive proper, is without q
parallel. What commentary on his
RxYuBLlcArlsM! As to Mr.. adams, in
the language of a contemporary, we say,
we have always entertained great res
pect for the talents, abilities and political
integrity of this gentleman. But numer-
Gus events have of late TRANSFERRED which
lead us strongly to question the exis- /
tence Of the last. What may be the
CAUSE OF his singular Inconsistencies and
tergiversations, we do not know. Some
ssy it 10 DorAaE. bit his constituents
would certainly not prove guilty of such
q breach of public duty as to commit
their interests to incompetent hands and
place in the councils Of the nation one
who, however worthily exalted in by.
gone days, has dwindled away into Sc
cond childhood. This then cannot be the
cause. We fear it is chagrin and dis
appointment mixed with the hope Of re-
ward from the hands of those from whom
an honorable man, situated with and re-
lated to them as he has been, would dis
dain to expect, much more receive it.
With what corrupting influences are we
surrounded and what fr1il dependencies
have we in men!
