Gen. Clinch, in his testimony before the
"Court of Inquiry" assigns as the reason for
the failure of the late Indian campaign, "the
want of energy and political forecast in the
head of the War Department y who, the
General states, had been apprised of the i'm
pending danger, but refused to provide for it.
There may be truth in this, yet the report of
the evidence of Gen. Chnch shews him to be
laboring under strong prejudice against that
officer.

THE PocKET VETo.-Gen. jackson
died game! OF all his outrages upon
the Constitution, perhaps his last one is
the most atrocioua. We allude 10 his
cody pocketIng the Bill for the regula-
ton of the currency, which had passed
both Houses by immense majorities and
which, had he simply used the veto,
would have become n law in spite oft.
We annex the reasons! for his con.
duct-they will strike every one as, at
once hypocrtical and monstrous -
That he should not have had time 20
examine the bill, which had passed the
Senate previously, no one will believe.
The royal intention TO veto the bill, was
currently reported and almost semi.of-
ficially announced, as soon as it passed
the Senate. The reason assigned, viz:
that the construction Of the bill would
be a subject Of much complexi,y and
doubt, is certainly a novel objection,
g. libel upon both houses of Congress.
But who gave the president the power
ofrejecting a bill upon the want 0 fper.
spicuity7 We repeat, this is the most
fragrant instance Of outrage, and con.
tempt of the viii Of the people, that has
marked Gen. Jagkson's career. Most
devoutiy do we thank heaven that he
is at length out of power.

ANEcDoTE OF JOHN RANDOLPH

ANEcDoTE OF john RANDOLPH
1t is related of John Randolph, that on
one occasion, when the subject of ma.
king appropriations for the public bull
dings was under consideration in Con.
gress, he rose, and as usual spoke in
opposition to Interpretations had
been frequently asked and as frequent
ly granted-and still the buildings went
up with a stealthy race-he wanted to
see the end of it, and for this purpose
moved to refer the subject to the COM
mittee on unfinished business. A
workman in the gallery close by, irri-
tated at the opposition Mr.. r. had
shown to what was to constitute his
support, and unable to bear this taunt,
cried out in a voice somewhat like RS:
"And move, Mr.. Speaker, that the
gentlemen be referred to the same
committee" This severe retort upon
the Informed and badly made orator
of Virginia, set the whole House in u
roar, and the sergeant at arms was i'm.
mediately despatched to arrest the Of
fender, but he had disappeared and
could not be found.

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES AND
THE GOVERNMENT.

Among the measures of the last SEES.
sion IS bill, passed las far as We
know, without objection) by both Hou.
ses OF Congress, and approved by tho
Pres dent ofthe United States, ofwhich
the following IS a copy:
BE 1t enacted, dc. That the Sec.
rotary ofthe Treasury be directed TO

sed by the President and Directors Of
the Bank of the United State, under

mortal TO Congress, presented at the

ed by them in the late Bank of the
United Suites, and the final adjustment
and settlement of the claims connected
WIN or arising out oil the same, and TO
take SUCH Obligations Tor the pa Pment
of the several instalments in saik pro.
posed terms of settlement mentioned as

Our readers will perceive, dn a close

statutory refutation OF the doctrine of

sundry occasions, and espec' klly in the
paper read by the President 1.-THE Uni

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.--The

some Of our readers may think that
Cupid had very little TO do with the fol-
lowing affair but we maintain that
wherever Hymen is Cupid is not far off,

Slender says, it "may please heaven
to increase it on closer acquaintance"

and seldom has the deed been followed

Aye-honestly and fearlessly,
Thy duty hath been done
Champion Of Truth and Liberty!
New Englsnd's gifted son ;
Well may the state that gave thee birth
Exultins hear thy name
That TO the farthest bounds Of earth
Her glory shall proclaim
Firm leader of that Roman band
Who in that law less hour,
(When even the Guardians of our land
Cringed TO the nod Of power;
True to their Country's grateful trust
Disdained TO bend the knee,
And saw With indignation just
The shameful mockery-
What though in Freedoms holy cause
Thy voice was raised in vain
For when did party spirit pause
At Truths persuasive strain?
That voice, in every patriot soul
Hath woke an answering tone =
And still the echoes onward roll,
Ev'n to the idols throne.
And blanch thou not-though darkly now
The sway of power hath spread,
A spirit II can never bow

And men are murmuring Of the past,
And rousing them to see
The fearful doubts that overcast
Their future liberty.
Then onward /! Thop whose warning cry
Hath broke that needless rest,
Until thy own true energy,
CLOVIS in each freeman's brea.tl
Until the faithfulness of yore.
Our father's only guide,
Inspires our land once more,
With all thy patriot PRIDE
Ay, point them to the Pilgrims Rock
And to the hallowcd mound,
Where Warren met the battle shock,
In death with glory crowned
Let every burning word recall
The struggles Of the brave,
Who nobly dared and suffered all
Their dcaEest rights 10 save.
The glorious dead 1T shall not be
That they have lived in vain,
While on the page Of Memory
Their thrilling deeds remain,
Hath not each State some sacred spot
Her Freedoms chosen shrine?
Some record ne'er to be forgot,
Proud as the boast Of thine?
Yet all should only serve TO keep
More true our Unity
Ev'n as our wi bright rivers sweep
On TO one blending Sea;
So should the splendors of the past
With present hopes combine,
And round our UNION ever cast
A halo all divine.
And when in future years thy name
Shall fill the Poets song,
And roll with all thy Country's fame
On Hist'ry's page along;
Even as thy own expanded mind
Now sheds its cheering rays
Not to one spot confined,
Shall be thy well earned praise.
.'o-though the North may claim thy birth,
The Stars ascending CLEAN
As just to call thy gifts and worth,
The South hal hail its beam
From every lip-from every heart,
The glowing tribute won
That thine has been a Patriots part

A FORTUNE MADE BY ACCIDENT

A FORTUNE MADE by ACCIDENT
| once knew a man who died immense.
ly rich, who traced all his good fortune
to a rusty nail, which he preserved
with a sort Of pious veneration. The
links between what he was and what
he had been, he concatenated thus:
"He had been a small carpenter,
and being employed upon a job at a
gentleman's house, when he had COM
Pleted it, he received his money, and
went about his business. But he had
not proceeded far on his way home, ere
he recollected that he had forgotten to
draw a large crooked nail which pro-
truded very awkwardly, and he re.
turned to remove it. Just as he was
approaching the door, he heard a loud
scream. Looking up, he saw the in.
FAINT and only child of the gentlemen
falling from n Of the attic windows,
where the nursery maid had been play.
ing with it, when by a sudden spring,
it escaped from her grasp. With equal
presence of mind and dexterity, he re-
ceived the child in his arms, broke the
shock of its descent, and saved it from
being dashed to pieces. The grateful
father requited the invaluable service
(for he dotted on the babe, because it
was the sole memorial of the dead mo.
Their who bore it, by a munifcent sum
OF money, which enabled him to EN-.
bark largely in his business, and thus
lay the foundation OF the great wealth
which he afterwards accumulated
But he always maintained that it was
