MANIFESTO OF MR.. SENATOR RIvEs AGAINST
THE NEW PROJECT OF GOVERNMENT.
Our readers are aware that the lead
ing members of the Van Buren party
entertain very different opinions with re-
gard to the policy which the administra-
ton ought to pursue IN the present emer-.
gency. We lately published Mr.. Silas
Wright's Manifesto against the Banks,
in which that eminently consistent Sc
nator had the modesty to propose a "YEr
uNTRIED ExPEDIENT" in the room Of that
Pet Bank Experiment, for the full
and complete success Of which he stands
pledged to the NATION. 1t is now re-.
garded as settled point that the Exc
cutive will propose to Congress at the
opening Of the September session, the
project thus disclosed by Mr.. Wright.
Our readers ale acquainted with the
character, from the information already
laid before them. 1t proposes that the
agency Of all banking institutions be dis
pensed with, and that the public reve-
nue. of the United States be collected
kept & disbursed by agents Of the Trea-
snry. That meddler with all work, the
refractory Post Master General is anxi-
Gus to add another feature to the scheme

Board of trade of that city, on two COM

condition of things now carried on
through the whole extent of country di-

The people of Cooperstown, N. Y. have
had public meeting, and have banished the
novels Of J. Fcnnimore Cooper from the town
library. The cause of this sudden overflow
of popular feeling seems to be in the fact,
that Mr.. Cooper had forbidden his neighbors
to hold pic mic parties upon point of land
projecting into Otsego Lake, and probably
within sight of the windows of " Fcnnimore
Hai," which is the jaunty modern name gi-
ven to the old family mansion. Mr.. Cooper,

INTERMENr OF WILLIAM THE Fourth.
Saturday, the 9th ofJuly, was appoln-
ted for consigning to their last resting
place the remains of his late Majesty,
William the fourth, and this melancholy
duty was performed with all the solemn
grandeur of which such scene is sus-
ceptible. Occasions have SO frequently
occurred for describing the ceremonies
observed at such seasons of national
affection, (these ceremonies always par
taking Of the same character, and being
conducted as nearly as possible in con-
tormity with former precedents,) that
little of novelty can be expected in the
details-and, with very little variation,
the funeral of William the fourth pre-
sents all the features which distinguish
similar honors paid to the mortal remains
of his predecessors.
The body was deposited in the Royal
Vault at ST. Georges Chapel, Windsor.
The Dowager Queen was present al
the final ceremony in the church. +.
Never, on the occasion of any roya
funeral, with the exception of the late
princess Charlotte Of SAKE Cobourg, ha.
such general exhibition of national grie
been displayed as on the present. The

the failure Of the government to fulfil

The editor of the Miami of the Lake has
accused us of advocating the introduction OF
ehin-plasters. This is not the case. He has
since announced that we have backed out
from our advances in favor OF those articles.
This is equally untrue. He has informed his
readersthat we nre the author of blundering
sentence which we quoted last week, as par
ailel passage to some of his own bulls. This
is contemplate. As to our own language, we
defy hin, to point out its errors, even should
they be palpable as high Olympus. appro-
pos, as to the backing out, we would give,
for the consideration of the editor, the follow

same time to remember, that it is quoted;-

1t appears that the law of England re.


1t appears that the law of England re-
gulating the Matrimonial alliances of the
members of the Royal Family does not
extend to the person OF the reigning So
vereign. Queen Victoria is the efore
at liberty TO marry whom and what she
pleases, provided he is only pl otestant,
for the protestants she is confined by the
statute of the lst of William and Mary.
Some of the papers, supposing, that she
could not fancy the high-born lordlings
Of her own country, and that she would
have more sense than to take up with
any of those needy German Princes,
which the Princess Helena of Mecklen-
burg so heartily despised have proposed
a match between the Queen and the Pre-
sident Of the United States, or (as he
prefers to be called the author of the
letter to Sherrod Williams. This, altho'
we have the example Of Nat. P. Willis,
Ed. Forrest, and last, but not least Jim
Crow, in its favor, would not do. Mr..
Van Buren, although born Presbyteri-
an, Baptized an Episcopalian, educated a
Methodist, and attending the Baptist
church occasionally while in Washing
ton, has still about him "a spice Of Ro-
man Catholicism-he /" sincerely respects
his Holiness, the Pope," and Of course
would be ineligible. Besides, he is too
old (alas that we should sayiD he is too
old, for we hold, that WHEN Queens and
Princesses come to Yankee land to make
matches, they should abide by the good
old Yankee rules, and marry suitably.
This want of suitableness in the age
would, however, constitute our only OBJ.

Of the Painesvile Republican between

MExICo.-We gather from perusal
of the files Of Ell Censor of Vera Cruz,
(extending from the Goth to the 3Oth Of
June,) that a deep dissatisfaction, if not
open hostility exists there towards our
Government. General Filasola, under
whose command and orders Gen. Castro
has acted, is censured with considerable
severity for the friendly disposition ma
infested towards the squadron. The
ground is taken that an atonement should
be made by our Government for the in
juries which Mexico has suffered at our
hands, and no atonement has been offer
ed. Our Counsul, Doctor Burrough, is
spoken of in terms of great asperity, as
an enemy of the worst kind. The paci-
ic course which Mexico has pursued is
ascribed to the settled policy of Busta-
mente, which looks at present to one
great object, and is willing to sacrifice
every thing else to its accomplishment.
This object is the recovery Of Texas
1t is understood that the whole dispo-
Saoie ilednS anu power OF llle UoVerl-
ment are to be concentrated as soon as
possible, in order to make descent up
on Texas. In prosecuting this object:
Bustamente knows very well that the
Republic must have no embarrassing re-
lations with other Powers, and especial
ly, that it will not answer for her to be
at war with the United States.
Among the subjects of complaint ur-
ged by Ell Censor, is the fact that Com
modore Dallas on coming on shore at
Vera Cruz, did not wait on the Com
but through the United States
Consul, invited Gen. Castro to visit him
at the residence of the Consul.-Pensa-
