is, after having good currency, land such
we have had aud ought TO have again) let us
see if we can't collect it correctly, and keep
it honestly till it is wanted to pay expenses OF
Government. 4.
The Messages and Treasury Reports OF
late seems to be puzzled in this matter, but
is only the beginning Of greater puzzle
The Government says they ought to coiiec'
the Government money and keep 1t tili ex.
pended, and that they surely can hhd us
honest men to keep the money OF Me Govern
n,ent ms the Banks. There is no doubt that
they can, but what proofi is given that they
,cM Ifthe Government will select Just such
kind of people as stockholders Of Banks are
apt 10 select to keep their money,-or such
kind of people who arc selected by men IN
their Wills to be Executors Of their estates
aud guardians Of their little children,-then,
I say, they would be doing their duty. But
if, on the contrary, the Government selects
men to keep the Peoples money-whose
strongest claim is found in their being "good
party men,"--men who are so afraid that the
liberties ofthe country will be destroyed II
their party don't get uppermost, that they are
willing to spend all the money they can bor-
row or steal, to sustain their parfy-neglect
their trade and family to attend ward meet
ngs and nightly assemblages of leaders, and
caution "the People" against trusting any
man with power, who by his honest industry
is well off in the world,-calling all such,
"vile aristocrais," Sc. SC. II, say, such men
are to be selected to collect and keep the Pco.
pies money, il will be kept, and the more
there arc to watch each other, the moro will
be kept.
What is the use of bars and bolts, and
surctes and bondsrnen, some one must bar
and bolt up-some one must be trusted-and
one really honest, conscientious man. who
has earned reputation and good charactcs is
stronger and safer than thousand bolts and
bars-but such men are not ready to do dirty
party ,cork-their character is above it-but
it is jus and right that such men should be
excluded. And are not the people entitled
to just such-to keep their money? il, how
ever, a different class of men are TO be select
ed, then say, have as few Of them as possi-
bic. If we are to have Sub Treasures, don't
multiply the keepers and watchers. If cat
licks cream, you wont mend tho matter by
putting another cat in the cellar to watch the
first. There will be no saving of eggs in the
barn if instead Of one skunk there you put in
just twenty skunks, al to watch one another.

whom will, it is presumed, by the month-o Of
January resume specie payments, and thus
complete the circle Of resumption lhroughou:
the whole union.
And now, upon reviewing the events
which followed the suspension. it is a source
of great qualification to see that all that 1t
was designed TO do, has been done.
II was proposed TO protect the character
Of the country from the first shock OF the
suspension-to effect the honorable discharge
of our foreign debt with the least sacrifice oi
the property Of the deDtors-to vndicate the
good faith of the state leglslatures-to dis
courage all premature attempts to resume
but, by cautious delay for these states
which were less prepared, accomplish u uni.
versal resumption. All these a,e done, and
the troubles Of the country have happily
ceased.
Ofthe future, il is difficult to speak bu,
in that future the Bank of the United States
will no longer occupy lis past position. The
Bank of the United States had ceased to be
national instltu Ion in 1886, and was pre-
pairing to occu.py it's new place as a state
oanK, when che troubles Of 1897 forced il il
some degGee back into its old position ant
IL then devoted all its power to assist in car.
'J'NS s"O SouHl'y unHuIt through ltS IcS'H
troubles. Having done this, It's extraordl
nary duties ceased. For the future, it abd
Gates this involuntary power. 1t has u,
longer any responsibility to the Union. /
has no longer any controversies with th'
government of the Union. 1t now desires
only repose, and it will take its rank hereafter
as simple state institution, devoted cxclu
svely to its own special concerns.
H rejoice, too, that this new position Of The
Bank absolves me from many cares ant
duties. In the general confusion of public
affairs during the last two years it has beer
my lot to be more prominent than my owl
inclination prompted, and often to assume Q
station which would have better fitted others
But public calamitcs justify the apparent
forwardncss they rcquire,-as great dangers
are best met by detying them. My task il
now ended-and gladly withdraw from these
responsibilities, carrying with me the onl.
satisfaction ever sought in thcm,-the con
scionsness of having done my duty to th'
country as a good citizen.
With great regard, yours, &c.

AFFECTING TRIAL.-An old man, almost q
ccntcnaran, was tried in the Circuit Court,
Mobile, on Saturday, the 1st inst. for the
murder of his grandson, young man about
10 years of age. His own daughter, the
mother Of the murdered young man, was the
only witness on the part of the State against
him. In the course Of the examination she
said it was "her own dear father who had
killed her beloved child" She said her TO-
thcr "had been drnking"-that he was lying
OH his bed aslecp-that the young man came
in and made considerable noise-tlat the
old man sprang from his bed-drew his knife
from his pockel-and stabbed her son to the
heart!
While she was giving her evidence the
tears plentifully trickled down the iurrowed
cheeks of the sorrowing and enfeebled old
man, and excited much sympathy. verdict
of mansaughter was given, and the prisoner
sentenced to twenty days confnemcnt,- ,-evi-
dence having been adduced Of his honesty
and industry through life. lie had been u
revolutionary soldier, and served under Gen.
Morion, in South Carolina. Being in his
dotage, ardent spirits, no doubt, produced in
sanity for it is evident that in more sober
moments he would instead Of depriving his
grandson Of life, protect it at the sacrifice Of
his own.-Ihiiddtiphia Gazette.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
MEYJCO

By the French steamer Meteor, arrived
last night, in GO hours from Vera Cruz, intel
ligence was received that the castle OF San
Juan de UllOa was taken by the French fleet
after bombardmont Of three hours, with u
loss of only four men by the blockading
squadron, and from four TO five hundred
MeXicans.
A messenger came in the Meteor, and hDr-
red to Washington, being the bearer Of in-
portant dispatches. Three frigates, slOops
of war and bomb. b.ketches, silenced lG0 pie
ces of Mexican artillery, in less than four
hours, and killed and wounded 600 men OF
the Mexican garrison.
| The MeXcans capitulated, and were allow
ed to retire the fortress was Immediately
occupied by the French. The Mexican ar
my near Vera Cruz was five thousand strong,
but as the town was commanded by the cas-
tie, the officers did not think themselves able
to hold it; but one thousand Mexicans were
allowed TO remain 10 preserve order.
The Prince do JoiDvlc commanded the
sloop Of war Creole, and behaved very gal-
lanty. 1t was thought the blockade would
be raised by the French. Negotiations for a
peace had commenced.
The Washington Globe says:
In this action, which was continued two
hours and hall, eight thousand balls and
three hundred and twenty bombs were thrown
into the fortress. On the French side five
men were killed, one Of whom was mid
shpman, and 80 wounded, two of whom were
officers.
The Mexicans have suffered immensely
| The captain of the Meteor, with whom we
conversed, gave Us touching description OF
the carnage. The shore was covered with
the dead and dying, and the piteous cries OF
the latter were heard amid all the din and
tumult of the battle.
Il The bombs were thrown Immediately on
the Mexican magazines. Three Of them ex-
ploded with SO much violence, that The decks
of several of the French vessels at the dis
tance of more than mile were strewed with
their fragments. The Cavollero, one Of the
strongest towers Of the fort, exploded about
five o'clock, p. NJ. The portions OF the fort
demolished by the frigates were in most
deporablc condition, the cmbrasures being
entirely dismounted and battered to pieces
The above attack was made on the 9th
Il November.

WING NOMIN ALTON
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
HENRI Y CL A Y,
OF Kentucky.

A very considerable portion Of this
days paper is occupied with Mr.. Bid
dies letter to John Quincy AdaIns--the
letter of Major Jack Downing-and the
proceedings Of Congress. Though
much variety is thereby necessarily ex-'
cluded, we consider, however, the space
could not be better filled. The letter
of Mr.. Biddlc, like every thing which
emanatcs from his mastery pen, is man
ly and dignifed, and gives a most clear
and satisfactory account oftho measures
of the Bank during the late commercial
revulsion, and Of the manner in which.
its energies were devoted to maintain
ing the credit and honor Of the cOun-
try. 1t is worth an attentive perusal.
The correspondence Of "Mnjor Jack"
is as usual, full Of useful hi.ts touching
matters and things in gcneral-and tho
proceedings Of Congress are important
as well as interesting. The remarks Of
Mr.. Clay, in reference to the present
condition ofthe Treasury, it will DO
are precisely to the point.

The United States Gazette says no
one can doubt that the Van Buren, rebel
lion ut Harrisburgh, is sanctioned and
was probably planned by the general
government. The object is to defeat
the election of Whig United Statcs
Senator, and to prevent the adoption Of
the new Constitution which SO limits
the patronage of the Governor as to give
him but shadow OF his former powor.
This is by no means acceptable to tho
Loco Focos, who were willing enough
to limit the power ofthc executive while
the office was filed by Wing, but who
have no fancy Of dcpriving the man Of
their own election Of any Of the means
of rcwarding his friends and perpetun-
ting his power. If they can by any
mcansprcvcnttlca assembling ofthc Leg
islature till after the day appointed for
counting the votes upon the new Con-
stitution, il is thought that the adoption
of it can be postponed until the Cover
nor has made the appointments. No
way suggested itself to these worthless
so peaceful and 50 proper as brute force,
and accordingly gang of well known
bullcs was sent from Philadelphia to
Harrisburgh, at the time appointed for
the meeting Oft Legislature. Tho
proceedings of this mob are well known.
and stated az the most disgracciul and
outrageous acts ever tcrpctiatcd in
Pennsylvania.

Observation-Disclosures from.
Harrisburg as late as the 10Th had been
received at Philadelphia, previous to-
which the Senate had passed rcsolu-
tion to inquire into the facts and evil
dence touching the organization ofthe
two bodies claiming to be the House Of
Representatives. A report was subsc-
qucntly made, and after debate, was
rc-committcd. The two Houses were
still holding separate sessions. A por-
ton Of the troops had returned to Phila-
delphia,-discharged only upon the con-
dtion of holding themselves in readiness
for immediate service in case ct ncces-
Isity.

| IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CAROLisA.-By
the Fayetteville Observer, We learn that on
Tuesday last Mr.. Raynor introduced into the
House of Commons, at Raleigh, series of
resolutions on Federal topics. It was thot
they would pass.
The first resolution condemns the tex
punging resolution" as a violation Of the
constitution, and an act Of '.party servility,
calculated to degrade the character Of the
Senate"
The second declares that the United States
Senate ought to pass resolutions condemn
ing tho act, and resembling the resolution
authorizing it.
The third denounces the Sub-Treasury
scheme, as calculated to derange the curren-,
cy, PROSTATE commercial credit, and augment
Executive power-moreover, that it will unto
the purse ard sword in the hands Of the Ex-
ecutive, change the character Of our govern.
mcnt, and peril the liberties Of the country.
The fourth resolution condemns the pre-
cmption law of the last session of Congress
and the fifth declares that the proceeds Of
the sales Of the public lands should be divi-
ded among the States, according to the raIo
Of federal population.
The sixth protests against ''the wasteiul
extravagance of the present administration"
The seventh declares that tho Executive
patronage has increased to an alarming ex-
tent, and that it ought to be diminished.
The eighth forms an admirable example,
1t does not speak Of instructions" but SIM
ply says-"Our Senators in Congress will
represent the wishes Of majority Of the
people Of this State, by voting TO carry out
the foregoing resolutions" This is noby
said. With the Independent, manly and vir-
tuous statesman, lhi, simple expression of
legislative opinion would have incompsrably
more weight, and exact more profound ro-
spect and Difference, than any Of those msn-
dates yclept "instructions"- presume
to carry with them imperial sway and power.
May this beautiful example be enulatcd. In
our opinion, it will be q most fortunate thing
for the Wing party, it these resolutions, thus
presented to the North Carolina Senators,
pass the Legislature.
The ninth resolution requests the Governor
to forward the resolutions TO the Senators in
Congress and ench Of the State legislatures.
We learn that on Wednesday, a bill pas-
scd the third reading in the Senate changing
the legislative sessions to annual instead Of
bonnial.-Riehmomd Compiler
