We have seen it stated in the Journal of Com merce, that Albert Gaatn has published new pamphlet on the currency question, in which he ex- presses some doubt on the expediency of National Bank, and recommends, if there be chartered, that its capital be not more than $l5,OO0,OO0.
 Whether this opinion is the result of the recent disclosures of the vlanies of the old bank, or oi more matured thought and observation the sub iect we are unable to say. But it is of some mpor- tance, inasmuch as Mir. Gaatn is one of our best writers on finance and has been one of the strongest advocates of National Bank.
 Simultaneously wih this, is similar opinion o another able rhg writer on the subject, (Mr. Apple ton of Boston, who thinks that a National Bank al the present time would be totally incapable of accom- pshng any of the purposes for which it's advocates strongly insist.
 Sentiments similar to these beginning to pre- vail the minds of the most experienced business men; and we assured good authority that they obtain among majority of the members of the New York Board of Commerce, which embraces the best fnauciers in the country
 Among whg politicians the light of experience is slow m dfusing its rays Men of this stamp are affected neither by fact argument and the only way of appealing to their sense of right is through the interests of the cques to which they belong. Heretofore it has been difficult to impress upon them
 clear expression of the public will this subject. When the people in the time of Jackson evinced an undsubted hostility to bank, they asserted, and be- lieved too that undue had been taken to pro- duce that hostility. It also thought that the great prize of bank--wth its immense patronage and it's inexhaustible means of rewardng partilans was sufficient warrant them in risklng de- feat and hence the great efforts of the last CANVASS The stake was great, and like reckless gamblers, to win il, they were not to stand on moral scruples.
 In the shifting of opinion among able political econ omists, as above stated, observe signs oi rad- cal change in the public sentiment, and the distracted sentiments of many O. the whis nl of Congress, and the doubts of the executive hm elf afford pre ty sure evidence that revolution ia going on in the public mind wbich will thereafter in any Com gress a majority who will, under circumstances, sanction the charter of a National Bank

MR. WEBsTER.-The New York Courier and Enquirer takes occasion to be merry with this paper and the N. Y Evening Post (by the way, it has put us in very good company) for ,adulging some ncre- duty in relation to the infallibiliiy of Daniel Web- ster's craftsmanship and democracy. Ofcourse, we never expected to convince the Courier nor the more ardent of its northern federal associates. Our brie remarks were designed for own southern readers who have placed implicit faith in MT. Webster and we thought it not improbable that they might al, so goad the conscience of some whg papers in these parts whose custom it was short time ago to look upon that great "expounder of the constitution, , with any thing but favor and admiration.
 Ne one will pretend to deny that Mir Webster is a person of extraordinary talent In common with most of our countrymen, ready to confess that no one has exalted his country in the eyes of foreigners-but intellectual power and that no bier quality of mind which arrays itself on the side o truth and rises above local associations to compre bend principles which universal, may be otall, distinct and different; and while we admit that Mir Webster in an eminent degree possesses the one we as freely deny ha; he is gifted with the other Of course to demonstrate so abstract proposition i. almost impossible. a s.
 The school of politics in which MT. Webster wa' educated, overshadowed his great mind by it's inau ence i; and accordingly we find throughout his long public career, it has impressed itself upon every i'm portant measure in which he has taken part. Ii was this that made him an opponent of the late wal
 that made him so distrustful of the capacity of tho people for sefgovernmentas in all cases to adhere to that prominent dogma offederalism, that proper syas rie'tpe measure and basis of power s i, !i S%n x, language pqlea apwer ra,ufslly ant

arsIurra is simple in his habits and nnosenla''ons in his demeanor. It is the upn,si regarding cerain of politics which s the tet "i arist"eracy and these have been advocated every proper "eea- sion by Daniel Webster, except in his Patchogne speech when he looked for rewards and honors "hc Massachusetts had not the power to besi""'
 Whether these views be correct or not, It appears strange 10 that any southern man should be bound yindicate the political character of Daniel Web ster. What has he done for the Union! Nhat i"i his countrymenl When and where did he utter syllable in defence of southern rights or southern measmel When has he stood up one moment against the assailants of the South! Nowhere-never. He has ideatifed himself with lhe interests of Massa' chusetts, and she alone should be permitted the hon. or of rewarding him. As fir as the people are con cerned we feel assured that man has less of helI confidence, and while they grant to him great talent they would prefer to trust almost any other indivd ual in responsible office.

In the Senate on the 9th Mr. Clay gave notice that on the morrow he should introduce bill for the dstrbl- ton of the proceeds of the public lands; and Mr. Clay of this state, presented certain resolutions of the Ala bana legislature, in opposition to that They were laid on the table.
 The subject of the Sub-treasury then came up and the bill for its repeal was read a third time. MT Woodbury, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, delivered speech on the occasion, warmly defending that law and expatiating on it's benefits, during hishdmnstra. tion of the currency.
 MT. Benton then introduced resolution declaring the repeal of the law inexpedient, which was nega- lived by vote of IS 2S, and the closing of the mail, Mr.Wrght addressing the Senate at length on the subject
 In the House, the only business done was the cleo tion of a sergeant-at-arms and door-keeper. For the former Mir. Townsend was chosen and for the latter, Mir. Follansbe. The Rev Mir. French (Epis- .copalian) was chosen Chaplain by vote of 1lS.
 From present indications may indulge very serious doubt whether this session may ad- ourn without any important business being transact ed. On the subject of 'fscal agent" the utmost conrariety of opinion prevails. Ali the whigs agree that the Sub-treasury should be repealed, but while :he Webster and Clay are anxious for 90, ,000, 900 bank, the Tyler men and Conservatives, pressed by the Madisonlan, appear to be unwilling that the capital shall exceed 20, 100000 The de- tails too, multifarious almost the members. These differences, which are widened by the ealou- ses between different portions of the party, will lead to discussions which very possibly, may end in mo- thing but talk.
 One thlng is omnous. The whigs are already di- vided in the House into Tyler and Clay men, and while the leader of the latter party continues is the federal papers complain, exercise his intolerance towards all who differ with him, there can be little hope of healing these difficulties. They may split this piebald party into hundred fragmenls-a re- suit, which according to the New York Commercial, was expected when Mr. Clay dictated, in the person of Mir. White who should be Speaker of the House.

MT. Webster's long reply to Mir. Fox is "windy and wordy" as the N Y. Ev. Post calls it. We do not recognise in it the stamp of those masterly diplomatic taents which his panegyrsts have proudly claimed for him. This letter certainly is not worthy of the bow of Ulysses. It wants condensation and force, as well as beauty. How decidedly inferior is it to the letters of Jefferson, and Madison and Forsyth! Some of its doctrines too, as well as his instructions to Mir. Crittenden, not only un- necessarily brought n but they objectionable in themselves. After declaring that the U. s. cannot interfere with the Courts of N. York, where was the necessity of saying that if the had been before a federal tribunal, the Government would have directed nolle proseq to be entered? Mir. Webster says that "'The Government of the U. s. entertans do that after this avowal of the transaction, as public transaction authorized and undertaken by the British authorities, itdUidudis concerned n ought not, by the principles of public law and the general usage of civilized States, to be holden personally res- possible in the ordinary tribunals ofaw for their par ticpation ia it."
 We hold this to be an untenable and unwarranable admission-cacuated to succumb to the demands of G. Britain, and to lower the high tone of our National character. Besides, the mission of MT, Crttenden, which is officially communicated to the British Minis ter is (as the N Y Standard says) "interference of the highest law officer of the general Government with the duties of our State Judiciary in behalf of an individual charged with murder, and actually under indictment tor an offence against our statutes--wth the decision or .control of which Mir.
