sued by the Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, editor Of
the Alton Observer. in publishing and promus'-

A Quincy correspondent the Missouri he
publican, after making divers misrepresenta-
tons concerning the conduct of the Receiver
of public moneys at that place, says, sit may
netbe impolitic to state, that our worthy towns

Hon. r. NJ. YOU'VE, to say, that he has never
in any one instance expressed himself in favor
Of an United States Bank, or of a National
Bank of any kind .---Neither has he ever init

posed to a true Constitutional currency Of gold

been his expressed opinion, that the measure;
