rvs In the court house, after listening to hun
~ a or twenty minutes. A friend has
,,. ,,,h few notes, taken during ihe de.

IL, We have no; room 10 notice them all.
r., R.og,nan said, that he was in favor Of
as,e. ,..-c;7es that brought General Jacluon into
eeV5 ss,. strange TO say the gentleman voted
suR 90, Jackson, aud for Mr.. Adams. This,
a" hoo 70 our notions, Is going FOR men and
Com not principles
SOM. The Col enIeayorcd to produce the impress
~, ,ba, Mr.. Van Buren,, in the convention which
SOS. framed the constitution of New York, wished to
Gle lave property Qualification attached 10 the right
'M .fs,f;a,e. and that he supported the right Of
@F c.o NEGROES to vote. Now the fact is, Nj Van
n,,sn was elected TO the convention expressly
nm, ,,oa the grounds Of doing away with the pop.
81, 81, qualification. He went almost us far as he
b. .bo went iaTiheSi IN the extension OF the right
Ten Of safagc. But when II was proposed to ex-
a ,rdte agh, Of suffrage to all free PERSONS with
yureglrd TO color, Mr. Van Buren, opposed il.e
: manure, and supported proposition, which ex-
flqled the blacks from the polls, unless possess.
"a dot freehold OF the value of $3.50. This, in
der effect, almost COMP ,ely debaued that portion of
ln he population from the right Of suffrage.
'3 The Col said that National Bank was char
~ aed in 1911, and vetoed by Mr.. Madison BE-
% cause be did not believe il would answer The ends
Of government. This might have been 'apsas
hgue, possibly. 1t was certainly great mis-
nkp. Congress refused to charter a National
Bank 1871, aud tlr. Clay, the Co.'s. candl-
late for the Presidency, lheu made the abest
\ speech he ever delivered, against the measure, as
both unconstitutional and ineApedIen
to We mght extend these remarks much further, /
2 rom the notes before us, but II is unnecessary |
{ md, in fact, we have not space. II the Colonel
vii come among us again. and make a speech
geptonse that he shall be answered Com the

" As we anticipated, the Wings are making
hobby Of the Bank suspension They expect
to hunbug the people into the belief that the sus.
pension is owing altogether 10 the want Of Ma
tonal Bank. The Argus has issued SILLY ex
TIA to this purpose. But it won't do.--The peo |
pie are too intelligent to be imposed upon by such |
Am%y appeals,
DEsTRUcTIvE FIREs.--We bave hardly Ia
nup paper recently, without finding an ac-
count of some disastrous confagraion. New
4 York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Mobile
Z Natchez, and Ycksburg, have all been recently
VISITED by the destructive ELEMENT, and proper.
Wlo an immense amount has been destroyed.
The little town of Akin, s c. was almost com
pleieIy consumed on the 4th inst. SO numerous
and so frequent have been these destructive fires,
that We have found il impossible 10 chronicle
hem all. Mobile has suffered most. An ac-
coun. OF the awful CONGREGATIONS which have re-
Gently occarcd in that Inflated city, will be
found on our first page.

rated Governor His official majority was found
