Gen. Harrison having declined to answer
every Scribb.er amongst his adyersares who may
think proper to catechse him, has referred the i'm
mense correspondence thrust upon him to a con.
mjttee Of friends. This committee points to his
votes and speeches as the best exponent Of his
opinions; and because the General has thus acted,
the Enquirer and other Power prints have opened
their batteries OF wit and Ijdicule upon him, Tor
being in the keeping Of committee.
These weapons may be easily !oiled by the SIM.
pie statement, that Gen jackson pursued precise
'ly the same course.
Every one recoccts the celebrated ''Whitc.

LATER FROM EURopE.-By the arrival Of
the packet ship England at New York on
the 4th inst. Liverpool dates have bsen re-
ceived to the 9Th ult. They however, con-
tain but little commercial or political intel
ligence Of importance. There had been a
slight decline in cotton-and it was feared
that prices would not soon rally again, as
there was little demand for goods or yarns.
The difficulties between the English and
Chinese were still unsetiled-and it was
said to be determined that some of The prin-
cipal ports of China should be put under
blockade by English vessels.
Mr.. Jaudon had published condensed
balance sheet Of the condition Of the United
States Bank of Pennsy lvania, which is said
by the London papers TO have produced q
very favorable impression.

RESOLUTIONS IN RELATION TO
THE CURRENCY.

Whereas, all political power is inherited
in the people and our system of government
is founded in their will, of power, and are
by the system, agents Of power, and are ap-|
pointed by the people under responsible
ty to perform their will hence the agents of
government, as contradislinguished from
the body polite, do not possess, but only ex-
ercise power. And whereas, life, liberty,
and happiness, are the final objects of the
institution of government, and the right Of
the people to preserve and to promote them
is unalienable, whatever, therefore, within
the limits of their community that tends to
destroy or annoy the one or the other, be-
comes thereby subject of their supreme,
exclusive and final control, whether it be an
injudicious and lily constructed government
or unequal and pernicious laws. And where
as, as itthence clearly appears that govern
ment itself, as we'll as its legislation, is an
experiment, it is uncomfortable that the body
polite can, consistently with these princi-
pies, bind itself OF posterity to submit 10 any
stare Of things, the momeniary or continu-
Gus existence Of which is, or would be, in
compatible with or destructive of the great
and final objects of government; and where
as, the good people Of this State are at this
time subjected to all the evils of an unsound
and deprecated bnak currency, PROF. uced
by the action of banking corporations that
were creared b laws of the Legislature.
Therefore
Rcsolred, That the powers conferred by
the body polite, through the constitution, up-
on the Legislature, are to be exercised for
for the public good, and that when in the ex-
ercise of those powess laws are passed
which in their consequences prove injurious
TO the community it is not only competent,
but it is the duty of succeeding Legisla-
ture to repeal them.
Resolped, That the Legislature as the
agent of1he will and power of.ihe body po-
litic, has the same right to alter and amend,
or to repeal bank charters, that it has 10 re-
peal any other law.
Resolved, That the public interest re-
quires, and it is duty owed alike to our
selves and to posterity, that we should arr
rest the enormous evils Of banking, by q
timely repeal of the charters of such Of the
banks, the condition of which does not afford
reasonable prospect of their ability early
to recuperate; and, also by amending the
charters of the rest, so as ef1ectually % pre-
vent them-from again abusing their priv
leges.
Resolped. That the aid Of the judiciary
need not be invoked, unless to punish the
officers Of the banks for offences A<atnsl the
criminal laws. szs|Is.
