A NUISANCE.

There rs a newspaper at vicksburg, call
ed the Sentinel, said to be edited by DR.:
Hagan, late Loco-Foco-M Nc Unsupported
Bank Commissioner. We do not know, to a
certainty, that the aforesaid Doctor is in the
pay Of the New Orleans brokers; but it
would seem not unlikely thai he is bought
up, soul and body, by that gang of pccunia-
ry cut-pockets. AT all events, it seems to
be the leading object of the Sentinel man to
depreciate the currency of Mississippi; to
PROSTATE our b6aa;ssks and beggar our citizens;
and to pour the spoils Of a desolated State
into the capacious lap Of the New Orleans
money changers. This nuisance ought to
be abated. No man ought to be permitted
to libel people whose bread he eats, and
Of whose woes he is fattening.

SKETCHES OF THE u. STATES
SENATOR'S.

Patriot, an extract from "Sketches of the u
States Senator'S" Of 1887 g. '3S by James
Hogan Esq, talented member Of the Wash
ington city bar. The Patriot Observes
"the portraitures Of these distinguished men
arc wildly and shiningly .drawnAand the
style Of the writer is at once nervous and
classical - -----'
The following sketch Of Henry Clay is
not less faithful than beautiful. ~
2 HENRY CLAY.
Mr. Clay is an individual calculated in A.
ny country, and any period, 10 command
much notice. His talents and his cast of
mind are Of The practical. order. You are
struck at once with, his appearance. He is
tall and slender of shape, his arms defective
" too long for bis size. In dress he is plain
yet adhering to the now antiquated blue
coat and gilt bstions When he commen.
.ces his remarks, he appears rather awkward
and nngainly--which appearance is heigh-
end by q pronunciation of some words with
marked peculiarity and impsoprietys These
defects, however, are all lost sight Of, as he
proceeds, and when warmed, wilma subject
favorable to display, he is certainly the mos,
|oyerpowering and afacinating speaker Of this
age. His form then becomes lofty and q.
rect-hls counteRance beams with life
He looks, ne !hinkss and feels every word
be utters. His action is, at times, violent
IN the extreme; yet not oyerstrained or I'M
natural. His voice is indescrihably fine, &
constitutes one of the greatest charms of his
oratory. Indeed ne man can witness an
effort of Mr.. Ciayss without asseniine 70 the
truth OF the remark Of the Grecian, who be.
ing asked wherein consisted eloqaence. Re.

OfMr. Clay as an orator, you can hav.
no kindof idca, BY reading bis speeches.--'

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of

this morning, after the ordinary business Of
the day was completed, NJ Biddle Esq. Pres
ident, communicated to the Board. his iDten-
ton of resigning his place in the Institution,
and took leave Of his colleagues in brief

felicity of expression, but singularly char

wholly irresistible among the old and tried
friends, his fellow-laborers for the last 20

Never certainly was apologize founded
on more universal impulse of human
nature than that of the fox who lost hi,
tail in trap, and SIrlishrway called a FIX
convention aud made speech against all
tails. The Philadelphia Banks after hav-
ing pointed to their own cOndIIl0n, and
used every other argument i'll vain 10 in
duce those of New York TO cut off their
tails, have finally resoned TO The most dis
honorable devices TO gel an opportunity
Of '.doiug the business for them" 1t is
indeed evident enough that banks have Il
cnawins consciousness Of wrong, OF mis-
management and degradation in ii state of
suspension. Or they wond not thus in.
trisue 10 drag others into The same condi
ton. All calls are of a color in the dark
and all banks are Of equal soumlness in a
state Of suspension. The only test be
tween solvenl aud inSnvent concern is
lost. Suspension therefore Is a gain to
the bad, while i, is loss ana calamity
TO the good. Specie paying hanks have
indeed at this time many trials 10 endure.
The infectuousness of example beses them;
because they are few, they stand proudly
conspicuous, a mark To be jeaiousIv, per-
haps angrly, pointed at bv the mauy.-
They are The subject of ungrnenus COM
plaint; all the difficulties anh srraighls of
commerce and business are laid to their
charge; the public are carefully given to
understand that the suspended banks are
their very good friends. bul are restrained
from showing their good will by The obsli-
macy If those who will continue 10 pay
specie in spite Of a suffering community.
1t NAV be asked in answer, how happens
it that banks which suspend as measure
of self protection against non spscie pay
ing banks, should find themselves in the
power Of those thai pay specie Have
they made mistake! Is it Indeed true
that banks that redeem their uoIes are
stronger than those that do not. In Heav-
ems name WHY did they suspend! Or WHY
did they not resume? If in seeking to
project themselves, they havo unlurru-
narcly changed sound armnr for one rot
ten and full of holes, why do they delay
10 90 back to the sure delen"es which ,hey
rashly cas-, aside! They suspended be-
cause certain non specie paying banks
were about to trouble them, and prevent
them from relieving The community; ard
now they cannot relieve the community
because certain spccie paving banks op-
press them Never were any corpora
lions so be,et with wicked rircunlstan-
ces" befhre. Whatever they do there is
some devil in the wind ready to turn it to
account against their Gwn windows But
since they have gained nothing by the
violation Of their o'lisa'ions aud musl be
oppressed one way or The other, they had
certainly better take the advice Of ST.. Pc
