 On this matter, Mir. Buchanan in his recentspeech, made tho following remarks: '
 "The committee say they consider the question conslitutonally settled. He cossidered that idea preposterous. No judicial opiniun could restrain members of Congress from acting on their own oPl- sented to them for their decision The decision oi the Supreme Court in the Maryland case. which has been so often cited, only decided that itiCongress considered bank necessary carry into effect that clause of the constitution, which empowers them to lay duties and collect taxes, the court would not de- termne to the contrary. This opinion was m force during the existence of the bank, but when the ques- tion comes up anew, the court refers the whole sub ject buck to Congress. But tthe court did de- eide in this matter, he not one of those wiling to rest the liberties of this country on the decision of any earthly tribunal. He was astonished nt the sen- tments avowed yesterday by the Senator from Mas sachusetts Mir Batesl to the nfalibitity of the decisions of the Supreme Court-that they were to be held authoritative as SaviOurs exposition Of the moral law. and tait these exposiions were to be incorporated with the text This argument would have made the alien and sednion law a part of the constitution of the United States both those ob- noxious laws received the sanction of the Supreme Court.' 4 fs#e5#4 ...

AO infinite deal of anger, activity and denuncia,on has been exhausted in the interior relative frauds committed on the banks, amoun.ingin all to about $9O O00 Would it not better secure the ends which is sought by them, if the public should hold meetings and determine elect insolsent to office who is largely indebted to the banks!
 In our own county, the aggregate owed by whg candidates can hardly be less than .S2oo. GOO Now suppose law were proposed in the House that the banks should go into lquidat,onthat all such debt. ors should be sued, Sc. &c. would these be apt to vote for it9 Can expect that they will take an active part in measures calculated to lessen or de- stroy their inauencs1 a1s5f
 . There is no way of reforming our State bank ex- cept through the legislature, and to make it certain there, we must send men to it who are above re. proach and temptation. Until this be done, vainly will the public camor for rsform--yainly will the press denounce corruption.

 Rtpsafs the WTd.--The Democratic State Co, . senti"n, recently heid the State of Maine a, which the Hon. Jnhu Fairfield was nominated as a candidate for Goxernor the following resolution as unanimously adopted
 Resolved, That the creation of National Bank |. under whatever named disguised is palpable viola ton oi the constitution, and under lhe circumstances "t the late Presidential contest no less land upon the pe"pe that such institution Is condemned by the experience of the past engine of financial disturbance, and still more decissels as an engine ol spen'ions political corruption and bribery, that lis existence IS incompatible with popular independence, hy concentrating and organising the power of wealth and that fl now established, it will he the duty ol all good citizens to every constitutional means io secure its speedy overthrow.
 Al the Vermont State Convention, series oi res outions were reported and adopted with great enthu- sasn; among them the following, showing the nnaniInty of opinion, which every where prevails among the democracy the subject of repeating me National Bank charter, should federalists have the temerlty to pass one
 Resolved, That should the present Congress repeal the Independent Treasury and incorporate Natlon- al Bank, contrary to the will of the people of the C States, expressed at every election al which mat qneston has been presented to them, it will be the duty of subsequent Congress to repeal it.
 Previous to the adjournment of the New York i.e- gslsture, the democratic members passed A number o resolutions declaratory of their attachment to de- mocratic principles one of which, after adverting to the encouragement and frauds of the late monster, concludes as follows
 With such an example of its practical results, and with clear convictions of its unconstitutionality, we do not hesitate declare, that if those in power shall create such an institution, the people will at the earliest moment, when popular rights shall regan the ascendency repeal and annul it's charter and u- teriy blot 1t out fronf exstence.-lBait.

THE CITY CHARTER-No. II.
 "a Mir.

In l9SS there was change adopted in tho mode of ascertainug the right of ters, but no alteration made or restriction i'm posed on that right.
 In 1888. many good citizens under the impression that extensive frauds were perpesrsted the ballot box got together and imposed on the city the charter which now exists. The under earrent of this move snent, was composed of whigs. They were anxious to get possssssn of the administration of the city, and the irst step to this effect was to impose some be disfrsnchised. They were well aware of the fact that our party s composed eftwothirds of what are called working men--honest poor citizens who were not brought up to tfadenor imbued with that kind of knowledge or knavery which manages to appropr-

To make property test of honesty, prudence and intelligence. was to cut of these ctizens, and very materially to increase the proportionate number of their votes or course to attain shs purpose, artifce was used to conceal ths sourcs o it. and render t apparent that it proceeded from nstber party, but the sponta- neoss movement of all.

Not satisfied, my enemies caused me to be again arrested, and demanded to be bound oyer, that Grand Jury might have an op- portunity to investigate the facts.

F5rfGt Register.
 Why do some men preach orthodox and practice heresyl The Register is denounced for copying from the Herald and thence prisimiliiude of prin- ciples all subjects is inferred But the Adyer- tser copies from all papers, and doubt if the editor is willing to have the standard applied to him. "Omnes si'nihd sin,iiiblis frahanfT, which m paln English means "show me your company, and will tell who you are," is truism based on sound req soningbut herein the difference between the two copysts: The one takes from the Herald only such articles expose the evils which o,ershadnw political horson-ays bare the nakedness of the esi doers, aud sounds the alarm to those who from apathy policy, either do not. pretend not, to see them. Now to copy such things, is not only ad- missable, but commendable. We do not reject the honey because it is extracted from poisons, ,-nor do disregard the raies because the snake also carries the of death. Different however, is it with the other. The articles which it republishes, arc from sources which ought to yield better things, whereas they contain the most baneiu doctrines, principles, subyersse of the original structure of government, and aiming decidedly fatal blow at the sovereignty, peace and safety of the SOh:-princi- pies which are now laying the mine whose explosion is destined to shver atoms the political arch by which bond of union is kept together. If there fore the articles c0pied to be considered re- speciyelS endorsed by the editors, which of the two is culpable! Asspredy under the present aspect of affairs, no Southern "aan would long ponder for an answer. Hyr f..tt
 These remarks are suggested, on reading letter written by the Hon. Jno. Nj. Bolts, of Va. offering his reason for voting in favor of receiving abolition petitions. The letter is republishcd with commenda- tions by the Advertiser whose editor roundly and qualifedly asserts, that the positions assumed by Mir. Bolts, are sound and correct, and cannot be overthrown;" and concludes by saying, "let those who ready denounce him, answer his arga- ments J they ean"
 In my next it shall be my business to take up this challenge and endeayor, if can," show that the arguments adduced by Mir. Bolts, neither "sound or correct" nor "constituiiona," are they com patible with " an ardent attachmen, the South"
 Should succeed in praying Mir. Botts to have acted through error either ofead heart, of course, all who endorse his principles share its fate.

 The Federalists in this State are playing deep and sly game at the present time, that will go to de- ceive nany honest democrats unless they forwarn ed and put upon their guard It is with reference to our State banking system the game is playing; and the trick is this. All the federal papers crying down the system, and Justify asserting that it must be wound up. Some of them, (the Mobile Advertiser for instance reckless of truth that "there is not single newspaper in the State but what openly denounces the system. All agree that il is bad, and that the Banks should be wound up as speedily as possible"
 This is not ,rue-all do not ''agree that the banks should he wound up as speedily as possible" We have never advised such step. On the countray we think it would be foolishy impolitc and absurd to adopt such policy. We have condemned the sys- tenn, and shall continue to do so. We would con- denn any system of banking, that organized and conducted as to let such fellow as Charles C.. Langdon, editor of the Mobile Advertiser, become in- debtsd in the of nney ouse,d dollars, there to stand forever bad deM. Such system must be radically wrong Such is State bank system. It designed for the benefit of the peope but it has fallen prey to loafers, knaves and swimders. We will not entertain the idea of winding il up at this juncture, and leaving honest to pay the debts sf set of scouudrel bankupts. We desire to see the system remodded, and farther attempt made to extort portion of their i'll gotten gains from those who so largel, indebted to the people. We be- eve the thing he practicable. Under the pressure of legal they could be made to bleed and dis gorge for lle good of the banks and the people.
