Previous To the vote ON the amendment the Sen

'ehsth, and however We may differ about tho con
su'Htionality of a Bank, none can deny tina, Mr.
Morehead presented the arguments and authorities
IN It's favor in the strongest point of view. Mr
Morehead Is the successor OF MIR Crtcnden i'm the

shown. Kentucky seems to I've the foster place of
orators. There is Clay, and C,itleudon, aud Moe.

STATE CRFDIr-rIIE pITHIIC FAITH

The dishonest design shaneessy avowcd by a Ger
tain class Of politicians To rcpndate debts contracted by
particular States which It ia found difficult paw and
the effect OF this avowcd design the credit of the States
generally, and even Of the General Government occupy
the attention of all observing and thinking persons at the
present moment. The result tho Mississippi election
turning upon that point, alarms, have before re-
marked even those who have been among the lou,les
asseftcrs Of the right OF any State Legislature To annu
contracts entered mtob by preceding Legislature Much
does II shock those whose moral sense has always
rcyolted n, aud steadily resisted doctrine 50 deesahe
In the money article the Baltimore Pairo, (preparcd
by Mr.. b. |. ConES) we find the following apt au
sons to this subject
The great fall in the price Of State securities all o
yer the country has produced alarm and unoasness in the
public mind but hold that facts do no, warau, eli

cannot be maintained The Legislature Of that State
will not in practice, whatever may be the impression Of
individual members, entail such disgrace fame

MA Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, having pressed
their systems Of internal improvement too extensively
being embarrassed shall fail to pay the regular interest
their public debt, does follow that the Energies Of our
happy country not equal 10 recovery from such
pros,raton Reflection will show how causeless
is the panic. The time is not distant when capitalists
will look back to the present and wonder that such tone
should prevail, or, prevailing that advantage

the sovereign States Of the Union We mistake much
our national character IT, in the approaching Of
legislation, such energetic means not put forth will
ensure IN after times, whatever the difficulties of the
moment, full and perfect fuflment Of every State obi
CATION Let States and Corporations, ho,cerer, pause
in their expenditures, suspend all schemes Of improve

In such determination will we have guaranty to return

THE HARRISBURG CONVENTION.

To The Editors q The Courier and Enquirer.
In your reply to the enquiry Of the NIadisonan cla
ting 10 the nomination Of John Tyler, as the Nhip can
ddale for Vice President, you have fallen into two or
three which ask leave to correct 1t is true, as
yuusay, that the nomination for Vice President was ten
delod to Cnttcndon, OF Kentucky, whose Delegation,
most unfortunately for the Republic declined ii. Mr.
Bell, OF ennessee was next proposed but that State
not represented in the Convention we could find no
Delegate from the South authorised or willing To youch
for Mr.. Bells acceptance Of the Office Mr. Preston was
then proposed, by South Carolina at least SO far as the
Wing Convention was concerned out of the Mon
and of the Southern Delegates approved Of the
suggestion Mr. p. was dropped. We then made dash
at North Carolina, whose strong full, whole-hcarted
Wing Delegates were in the Convention The choice
was left to her Delegates and they designated the late
Gov Owen, who present, and for reasons honorbe
TO lis deiIcacy as gentleman and to his patriotism as
Wing, declined the nomination.
These efforts 10 secure the nomination of some tried
sauneh, distinguished Wing, came from the Delegates
who had opposed the nomination Of Mr. Clay for Presi-
dent Their object, after the selection ola Wing worthy
OF the Vice Presidency, TO harmoHise and strengthen
the Party But failng toune in Convention upon some
distinguished friend of Mr. Clay as Vice President the
question was referred 10 tho Grand Committee con-
sstng Of three Delegates from each State In that Com
mttee, Mossrs Crittendon Bell Preston and Owen hav-
ing declined, Delegate from Massachusetts, nominated
