divided, and though mighty will be the
conflict, we fear not the result. 1t is a
settled point that there will be but two
candidates, Martin Van Buren, and Henry
Clay, for we take no note of the nominees
of S. c., "the Harry Percy of the South"
Let this pigmy Hotspur soar aloft on the
wings of its own folly and obduracy, it can
make no difference. Well, the one is the
champion of the Constitution, the other
of National Bank. The eyes of the peo-
pie have been opened to the real cause of
their distresses-the corrupting influ-
ences of the U. S. Bank, with its forty

corrupt an! unprincipled hirelings have
been made manifest, which startled the
unwary and awaked the lethargic-the adj

that it regulated OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES advo-

of $4,000, part, of all Of which was
the money of the people, which was thus

the Constitution, which expressly declares
that the money belonging to the govern

of the U. States, and not one cent oft Ia
ken from thence, except by appropriations
made by Congress. We were told that
without this "great and salutary Regula-
tor" the State Banks could never resume
specie payments, but marabile risa, we
saw that without the talesmanic aid of
great regulator, many of the banks in the
country did resume specie payment on the
18th of August last. And what has been
the result? While the wings, with mad
