Touching upon The new hnmbug Of The : di-
vorcc of bank and stale,' Mr. proceeded in a
fine strain Of sarcasm TO ridicule the inconsist-
ency Of The administration. The adminislra-
lion had filed bill for divorce OF bank and
state, asking that the public money might be
confided TO them for safe keeping hut the peo-
re had now come forward demanding that
the government might be divorced from the
ofce.hodcrs. The people charge these men
with having violated and malireaed the con-
stiution and the government in The most
shameful and indecent manner, and 10 crafty
the basest and most sordcd dcsi -es. What,
asked Mr. o., will be the result of this trial ?
Has a false clamor been raised against these
offce-hoders, or are the charges true 2 True

them !" (TumnItuous cheering cnsued upon
this announcement)
Touching upon the outra geous specie ex-
actions of The administration, Mr. B remarked
that the ofice-holders, "thc eternal Office
holders" were here found to be the only peo
pie benefit d by them. Some Of the most

and the people, show the extent to which an

In closing his animated remarks-to which
it is impossible 10 do Justice in briel and hasiy

pie who, though distant, were identified with
US IN principle and love for constitutional free
dom-a people who would unite with the peo-
pie Of Massachusetts in resisting 10 the utmost
the ruinous measures and absurd policy of the
administration. Mr. Bell sat down in the midst
