New Orleans, an affair Of rather ludicrout
nature transpired: The facts, as we learn them
from gentleman present, were about theses.
Orders had been given by the mate to one Of

as promptly as he conceived it might have
been, came up to one of the deck passengers,

he mistook for hand belonging to the boat,
and with a variety of oaths and imprecations,
for which such characters are notorious, UNI
dertook to knock the Irishman down, Pat not
relishing thecompliments that were being paid
him, retorted, and retreated, with his fist and
his face to the enemy, as far as the guard
would permit. the mate closed in, was
about to consign poor Pat to the bottom ofthe
Ohio. "Not SO fast, honey said he, for faith

by The establishment Of n ra,i0aal

teaches us that the same causes viii
produce the same effects. We have
had two United States Banks: tho
first was chartered in Roland signed
by our iIIusiriouS and ma,chless Wash.
ington; and the second IN 1916. re-
cclying the official signature Of Pres
ident Madison, that pure republican
and able statesman. At both the pc.
RODS OF the incorporation Of these
Banks, respectively, the currency
was deranged--il was deprcciatcd in
value and aot uniform throughout the
Uaion, as the trainers Of our Federal
Constitution intended It should be;
and in 60,h instances, the result was
4 currency sound ana Uniform. And
may we not believe TINT another
United States Bank would have the
same chectl In regard - The cur
rcncy afforded BY the last United
states Bank, q report was made by
that venerable republican. Gen. Sam
Iu2i Smith, in the United States Sen
ate, in 1880, in which lie used the fol-
lowing languages: "tAey (the com.
mittee Of which he was chaiMan) are

joyment Of a uniform national cur

Mr.. McDufiie, as chairman Of =

about the same time, in which he used
