Who ever before saw in whig paper, any thing intimating that the ''prnciples which govern trade regulate exchanges?" lf we mistake not, the Advertiser has always insisted that national bank is the only regulator of exchanges-that the laws ol trade have nothing at all to do with the matter, Such east has been the opinions of it's coaduors and from Henry Clay down to Mir. Bolts every speech delivered in Congress- has taken this ground in plead ing the cause of bank.
 So, then, hereafter, we shall have some help in difusing e truth that bank is totally unnecessary 10 this branch of mercantile busines s-that trade, in the words of the merchants of Lyons to the French Minister, only wanta to be let aone-and that any interference with it's principles is decidedly pern- cious.

UaifeS States Bank.-How many aching hearts there have been, and how many pennyless orphans there are, the fruits of the caamtous end of this stupendous moneyed corporation, is not known. Per haps they will be; but all know the wrongs sui fered and the injuries inflicted absolutely meal cul,ble Same instances there within the civcle of our observation. where penury is substituted for afluence, and pecuniary wretchedness supplies the place of domestic serenity and comfort. On this point, the Journal of Commerce says that the losses sustained by the downfall of the bank, counting from the price five years ago, cannot be less than fifty mil
 lion of dollars. It has swallowedup five hundred fortunes of hundred thousand dSlIars each. The suffering caused by this, is silent, but not less deep. It is sad to contemplate the respectable females who were provided with comfortable afiluence, suddenly made destitute the children all at once deprived of the means of education; and the thousand injuries which cannot be enumerated, but which are felt as the consequence of so great loss.-[Philadelpha (Whig) North American.
 The North American speaks truth, but it should make another calt uaton to present its whg friends, viz: How many banks and how many years of bank ing would it reqare to bestow on the country tthe part of the benefits which would compensate for the distress brought upon the public by this U States bank, of which it was once an advocate! .s.

WALTER FoRwARD.-This gentleman, nomina- ted for the Secretary of the Treasury, we in. formed, for long time resident of Piitsburg, (Penn.) He has never been much in public life-has considerable reputation m western Pennsylvania as lawyer, and was solicited some tune ago 10 run for congress in his district, but refused. If are not mistaken, he was a member of the house of re- personalities about the time of the late war. He has been a staunch anti-Jackson and Van Buren man, hut whether his opinions have undergone change re- gently, we are not informed Since the accession of the new administrations, he has been first comp trosr of the department of which he is appointed the head. lr. .4 .ais

 Wickliie, proposed for Postmaster General, we think, is the person, who during the canvass last year in Kentucky, took conservative stand; oppo- sed national bauk, and met the democrats on mid dle ground.
 These appointments have very singularly disap- pointed both parties. The general opinion :was that the active portion of the conservative clique, incud ing Wise, Rves &c.,, would be called to the cabinet. Caleb Gushing, of Massachusetts, who defended the President il is said expected some office; and Prof fit, of Indiana, who has thrown good deal of light . whig ehcauery, and is champion of Tyler, was also spoken of as probable recipient of executive faSors. ..i
 These appointments, taken in connexion with the last veto, think, intimate that the President has no present purpose of being driven into the Rves and Wise pary and that it is his desire to establish his popularity by attempt the support of the odds and ends of all parties. We much doubt the policy of such amaneuvre. The democrats have no purpose of coaceding any of their established princi pies. They have taken high ground all questions of public policy, and as time begins to show their correctness and expediency, means whatsoever be successful in wheedling driving them from if.

Cotton is depressed, and we sor- " to say that the holders of that most important oi all products are likely to loose heavily Ships too, for the moment, are not producing much income.

 Possessed of great tact and knowledge of men, ex- traordary adroitness, muscular power and activity, and undaunted courage, 1t Is not surprising that he became kind of rude hero in the minds of certain class.

 PARrIEs.-Henceforlh, for time at least, the country is divided into three parties. lst. The de- nocretic party, which every body knows, IS coeval with the constitution, and has neither changed its name nor it's principles all the yicsstudes of times and things through which il has lived 2d. The Clav party. This is composed of the whole hog Webb whigs-rnen who for Clay against the world. for Clay .'righl or wrung''--the high church marty. who are bent on high tariff, high national bank, high federal government, and high-hauded measures of all sorts, whether they bankrupt the treasury or dry up the of the liberties ot the people, This is the most dangerous anti-Tepablican and interruptions of all parties Bolts belongs to II -Webb belongs to it-the Richmond Whig and Chareson Courier and other lesser papers ofsouth- ern fostering northern feelings belong to it, The third is the presidential administration party "a small omnibus load, right at heart, but woiuly perverted on the principle that evil communications corrupt good morals That party will be held togeth- CT the cohesive power of executive patronage, un- til the great antagnnis principles of democracy and federalism, bank dynasty or deliyerance and liberty come to be marshalled for the fight. Ii must then oil the tence femaln tHere for spectators of the pitched battle The Clay out posts have already commenced rolling their ball. The rampant, dyed-in-the- devil-take-me-car whigs are all his-deyoted to him body and soul and whether he prays or swears, breaches moralit, or bets on brag, it is all the same to them.
 Wo to the country when these come intopower! But they never will While they count their hosts among the stock obbers, the bank gamblers, the great army of ruined spectators, needy spendhrifts and time walters for rsi from corrupt administration of the government--while they as flight of Egyptian locusts on the public highways of the nation,-you will find few of them in the quiet and yirtuous re- treats of private life. The people opposed to this party because it is party formed to PREY UPON THE PEOPLE. Power, plumber, prescription, are what they battle for, and the people have had taste of them.
 In our neighborhood the whigs of last year are taking sides for Clay or Tyler. Many are becoming weaned from their love for and confidence in na- tional bank, and cannot the wisdom of laying du- ties on the people for distribution among the States. Of these some join the great corps d'arme of the de- mocracy and others have stopped midway with Tyler and are waiting to with him. We shall know more by andby.
