" THE GREAT FlNANCiER." /"


A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Philadelphia relative
TO the failure of the United States Bank,
alludes to its late President as follows:
" But the man who now bears and must
ever bear the heaviest weight Of censure,
is Mr.. BlddIe. lie is ruined in reputa
tion, aud, it is said, in fortune also. His
letters are regarded as proving, not thai
he did right, but that others did wrong as
we'll as he. So far as | have heard. eve.
ry voice condemns him, aud in the most
unmeasured terms. What change in
few years! The Great Financier, who all
delighted TO praise, is now branded with
every epilhet which can describe a scoun-
drel. wish you to observe, that am
not now expressing an opinion whether he
deserves this or not. | am only stating
what meets my ears at every turn-on
the sIeamboat-in the slage--in The cars
every where--WithOut reference 10 par.
y politics, lie is denounced as the prince
Of swndlers."
What change, indeed! Not so much,
however, in The Great Financier as in his
former adulalOrs. But few months (nol
years) ago, the letters of Mr.. Bidde TO
wing Congressman were published in the
whig papers as containing the very es.
sence Of financial knowledge and wisdom,
lie was even named as fiji person. TO be
Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States; Notwithstanding it had bee prov
en- beyond a doubt that tie institution
over which he presided had bought up
men and votes and presses "like cattle in
The market" Why was he so praised
then? or (if that prise was just, and the
expOsiliuns and denunciatiOns Of the de-
mocralc press unjusr.) why is he now
denounced as ''lhe prince of sVindIers"?
Years ago he stood convicted at the bar
Of public opinion of transgressions Of
greater enormiry than those recently broh
10 light; yet he was hattered and couricd
by great political party, the leaders Of
which were prvy to his inquity and par,
look of his i'll gotten gains. Then he
was powerful. He could replenIsh the
pockets Of the spendlhrift and elevate 10
oflice the demagogue. But these leeches
drew so largely from the vaults of the bank
AS to break it and draw from the stock
holders an exposure; since which Mr. Bid.
dies power has flown, and with it his
numerous friends. The knowledge that
he has aided greatly in giving them their
present Importance, must render doubly
CALLING The epithets they return to Lim il
his adversely. But il would be worse
than useless longer to puff The "Great Re-
gulaIor" and the "Greai Financier" at ils
head. They arc now impotent. The
Bank is brOnken, and Mr.. Bddle IS ruined

with impunily. There is nothing more
to be expected from their aid, and nothing
to be feared from their opposition. An
other Bank must be created, which shall

More beneficial it canno, be; more
injurious il will almost certrinly be.

MORE CORRUPTION.

From the investigation Of the Post OF

General, the fact has been revealed, that
the Department is involved to the amount
Of Million Of Dollars! Under the con.
troll Of the notorious Kendall, its affairs
were grossly mismanaged and corruption
exercised. Ii seems that his successor,
Mr.. Niles, made matters no better: Well
may the country congratulate itself upon
its escape from the fangs of such vipers.
We hope soon TO witness full exposition
of the state Of things, by all the depart
ments Of our Government. The interests
of the public imperiously require the most
investigation into the official
conduct Of its officers. Tho public will

will forever brand them as traitors to their

principle of integrity and public virtue has
been disrcgarded and in their places,
fraud and corruption have beeo substituted.
But such conduct has received the signal
