THE STATE BANKS.

No one IN Baltimore appears have been aware Of his
arrival until after he had left the city From tbs official

Through the fichest agricultural region OF Pennsyya-

MR. VAN BUREN AND THE LATE GEN
TIPTON.

II is fact we have not seen publicly no
ticed, and which is mol generally known, that,
Gen. john TIPToN, late United States Sena-
TOR from Indiana, was. short time previous
to his death, appointed by the Federal Execu-
tive, General Indian Agent for the entire
Northwest.
The selection of Cen Upton, although
probably good one, was notwithstanding a
little curious.
Gen Upton was friend of Gen. Jack
sons administrator, and belonged to the party
that elected Mr.. Van Buren,. lie was, how
ever, one of the first to exhibit that species
of independence, which is called, in tho
party cant Of the day, disaflection, and might
have been ranked as Conservative. But he
was more fortunate than others in enjoying
an immunity from denunciation. He was
not man to be easily moved either way. and
possessed extensive property and influence in
Indiana. .
We have been informed by his late friends
and colleagues in Congress, that he literally
hated Van Buren,, and could scarcely be in
duced to enter his house, or to speak with
him. Although friendly for the most part 10
the principles of the party sustaining him,
yet in the lofty spirit of Western indepen-
dence, he looked upon him personally with
hearty contempt.
Mr.. Van Buren,, fearing his influence, and
desiring, at least, to disarm him of active
hostility, and to concilla.e his friends as far
as possible, with his eye upon the approach
ing election in Indiana, graciously gave Cen
Upton the hauering appointment we have
alluded to-
1t was a very interesting piece of diploma
cy on the part Of Mr.. Van Buren,, and had
much of seeming magnanimity in it. We
apprehend, however, it neither seduced Gen.
Upton while living, nor made avast amount
Of political capital among his friends, now
that he is dead. Indiana is beyond the reach
of the Little Magician.

A CONGRESSIONAL sQUATTER.

1t is stated in the New York papers that
Mr. &. c. Cambreleng. the organ of the Exc
cutve, in the last House of Representatives,
having been at last rejected by the people Of
the city of New York who had sent him TO
Congress for several terms, has now taken up
his residence in the Van Buren, District, com
posed Of Queens and Suffolk counties, with
view of stealing into Congress upon the
strength of another mans popularity. This
rs the dernier resort OF sinking politician.
The NY. Wing says,
Mr. CAMBRELENG has been spending weeks in The
fifs DI'trIct-he will be egibe-he will be nomi-
ha'ea as me successor Of THOMAS b: JACKSON, and
10 spite OF lamentations here elsewhere he will

Representatives -
II this be So it is the result, doubtless, of
an arrangement ooncocted during Mr.. Cam
hreIeng's recent stay at the White House. If
Mr.. Jackson, like good easy soul, is to re-
sign to facilitate the object he is probably
promised suitable quid pro quo.
Mr. Camhreleng is an industrious man,
and has had much experience in Congress.
Mr. Van Buren, will want him sadly, on the
Committee of Ways and Means, where MIR.
Y. has been until the office has become his

be slngularly meek, passive, and obedient, II
they consent to be the degraded instruments
