 Yes, {" a most valuable lesson, though dear ly purchased, has been taught to the people of the United States and their representa-
 tives." They have been taught that they
 tnelr property, and to Ileir instltutiohs;, con-
 fide in the snlooth-tongued professions of po-
 ltical demagogues; they have been taught thatall such seek their own interests and per- sonal aggrandiZement, instead of the inter- ests and the welfare of the people-they have
 been taught, that those who make the most
 desperate appeals to the weaknesses and the
 prejudices of the great mass of the people, un-
 der the guise of friendship-that those who
 will debase themselves to cater to the Eutopi-
 an schemes of "hard money" advocates and
 "hard money" politicians, are the first to de-
 sert those who have confded in them, when
 the hour of trial and of suffering arrives j;
 they have been taught that those who told
 them the destruction of the United States
 Bank was measure of public good, told
 them falsehood they have been taught
 that those who proclaimed that the exchan-
 ges of the country could be as we'll conduc- ted without as with National Bank, were false prophets; they have been taught that when the Executive of the country and his servile Secretary of the Treasury, anncA

 "They will hereafter more justly appreci- ate the disinterested character of whig clam or" So says the Globe, and so say we,- They will hereafter know from "dearly pur chased" experience, that the ,ohigs are the friends of the people, the advocates of the avs, and the supporters of the constitution and that when they do raise clamor a. 5ainst an administration, it is because re- 'pect for themselves and deep sense of du- y to the country, requires that they should It all times be on the alert and fearlessly point out to their fellow citizens the impend- ng dangers; they will appreciate their vigi- ance, put faith in their predictions, and curse he mlnions of power, who by falsehood and deception caused them to turn deaf ear to he warnings of patriotism.-N.

 WASHINGTON, May g.
 1t is now understood that the very first measure of Martin Van Buren after the meet ng of Congress will be to submit project or National Bank. It is not intended it should discount, but merely be used for pur. poses of Opposite and Exchange. In other words it will be mere tub thrown out to the whale, to delude and cheat the people, and Ieep them from calling to account, the au- hOrS of their calamity hnnc hn,ununr 4hn 1
