 I7EMS-sELEcTED
 Rhode 1sland.-Mr. Sprague has declined re-elec- ton to Congress- His reasons are, that he no longer is advocate of the experimental philosophy taught by the currency thinkers Washington D. J. Pearce, it is thought, will up for himself The Wings hold convention in June to nominate their candidates.

 National Bank.-The Schenectady Cabinet states that Van Buren member of Congress elect, from this Sate has asserted, that meeting of the Van Buren members from this state, will be held previous to the opening of Congress, for the purpose of advising Mr. Van Buren to recommend the speedy passage of an act for new National Banthat, if he does not, and persists in carrying out "Bentons humbug," he will find them in the ranks of the opposition -ibid.
 Our country now presents the singular spectacle of
 people and nation rich in every thing, with surplus in the Treasury of forty fifty millions being all bank rupt together, and in a way which renders the Gov ernment actually poweriess-t do literally noth- ing for as regards its power the laws only enable it to demand specie at the custom houses and post off. ces which at the present uncture it is next to impos sble for the people to pay.
