The Bank Bill

Tho New-York and other papers re-
ceived yesterday, express great fears
that President Tyler will veto the
Bank Bill, which has just passed both
Houses Of Congress, and only awaits
his signature 10 become law. The
Commercial has its glooms mainly, wo
conceive, because its correspondent at
Washington did not write, as usual
What clso can it be- The Commercial
says" The preronderaiing opinion
from Washington is, that the President
will veto the Bank Bill. And yet SO
closely has be kept his own counsels,
that no mortal but himself has any war
rant for saying what course ho will
take" 1t really does seem to us very
surprising that the prponderafing olsn-
ion in Washington, should be, that
President TYLER will return the Bank
Bill with his veto, when ''no mortal but
himself has ANY WARRANT for saying
what course he will take" The anx-
iety Of the public, VIC know, is very
great in regard TO the course the Prssi-
dent pill take on this important quos-
tion, but we see no good ground to dis
trust the confidence placed in him
merely because he has not seen fit to di-
,ulge his intentions rs soon as the bill
passed.
The correspondent of the U. States
Gazette, under date Of Baltimore, Mon-
day, Aug. ., writes as follows, aud
which by some may be considered a
little more squally-ihough we see no
thing in it especially so, taking it for
granted, tn at no mortal but President
TYLER himself, has ANY WARRANT
for saying what course he will take, in
relation to The Bill
"HALTIMoRE. Aug. 8, lSII,(

TAcre is q fcverish anxiety among our
citizens, in regard to the late of lhr bank
bill. Conflicting opinions are given by al
most every man from Washington. where
they pretend to know any thing. cannot
learn that any one has any thing more for his
opinion ,hnn Inference, and these find take
their tone from their own wishes. Ii is not,
however, n favorable sicn to see the men,
whom report selects os the special friends Of
The President. all uniting in saying the bill
will he VETOED.
TIE week will hardly pass md leave us
in doubt.

Passage Of the Bank Bill

The entire Whiy party Of the United
States will rejoice publicly very
large portion Of the opposition viii cx-
perience equal joy in Pr;vats-to learn
that tho bill for the incorporation Of
national Bank has passed the House Of
representatives., without single n
ncndment, by the decided majority Of
THlRTY-ONE votcs, on the main
question Of ordering the bill to n .hird
reading. SO important did the Wings
Of the House deem the immediate pas
sage OF tho bill---so necessary to the
great pecuniary interests Of the country
that no time was wasted upon amend
ments, and the hazard Of sending it back
to the Senate avoided. Every PROPOSE
tion to amend, therefore, was steadily
voted down. Mr.. Adams, Of Mass, and
Mr.. Marshall, Of Ky, voted against tho
bill, as did also few other Wings, not
because Of hostility to the measure, but
because Of their dislike to the peculiar
shape of tho bill. The great minority
ofthe Wings, however, preferred taking
the bill just as it stood, relying, in tho
event of its receiving tho signature Of
the President, upon their ability TO pass
an amcndatory act before the close Of
the present session. All eyes are now
directed to tho President, and all is
anxiety for the result. Should he sign
it, and thus comply with the desires and
the expectations of the people, all will
be we'll 1t is TO be hoped that such
will be his course. But should he ex-
tinguish tho bill, and crush the hopes
of the country by veto, which many
seem to anticipate, there viii be an cx-
plosion that will shake tho whole coun-
try. In either event, "the House Of
Representatives has added another to
its claims to the applause of ,hc people,
for the fidelity with which it obeys their
will, and the perseverance and frmncss
with which it executes their purposes"

State Of Religion in Ireland.

A converted Roman Catholic priest, in
lottor addressed to clergyman at Durham
says a movement in religion is at pres
ent in progress. The times are big with
coming events. The Roman Catholic aris-
tocracy are, almost to a man, disguised
with the conduct Of their priests, aud set
little or no value on their ministry. This
disgust is extending itself among all classes
and will in all probability, with the spread
of knowledge and reflection, at no distant
period pervade the whole body. Many
priests of late in various parts of the king
dom, urged by the force of truth, have
openly protested against the errors and
abuses Of popery, and declared in favor of
the gospel. Two priests of the name of

WORSHIP.

They aoere all Nth one accord in one place"
Ill in one place and all with one accord,
Those early saints of Christ, collected were
To yield glad homage to their risen Lord,
To sound His praise, and bow the soul in prayer.
United in one cause. they gathered there,
To search the mysteries of His holy word,
To raise their spirits to that region, where
Had gone that Savior they, in truth, adored,
And worshipped-tho' the price were bondage,
fire, or sword.
But, no command, or sneer of feeble man,
Had power oturn them from their purpose high,
Defymg all, they took fearless stand,
To spread the truth, to conquer or to die,
And fixed upon the prize faiths steadfast eye.
To bright flame the holy spark they famed,
Answered with hope the faintng sinners cry,
With ready zeal they ran in God $ command,
Taught by His spirited by His all powerful
hand
And there they gathered to unite once more
Before their God, in grateful prayer and praise.
Oh that the steady piety ofyore
Were manifest, in these degenerate days!
Where is there now, in all the worlds wide maze,
One church of God, who jointly bow before
His altar ? Hand in hand tread lions ways,
Stcadfast, as one united, to plore
His care, and grace, and love, till life's short day
is o'er2
Alas how different, is devotion now
Ostensbly to worship God, one day
In seven, we to the sanctuary go,
To hear His word, and join the sacred lay.
But should some power the hearts deep thoughts
betray,
How would confusion cloud each guilty brow
Alas how many seem with saints to pray,
Who, with them in the spirit never bow,
Deeming the path too straight, despising rank SO
low.
How oft we enter in the holy place,
With souls cemented to earth 8 vantics
And look around for each familiar face,
Nor lift one thought on high nor seek TO rise,
To read within the veil, heavens mysteres,-
Or moving heavenward with snail slow pace.
All not like this the saints of old, the wise,
Who walked in heart in Gods appointed ways,
Who daily, hourly, sought for wisdom, strength,
lnd grace.
If saints should now pursue the narrow road,
Steadfast, tho darkened vale or craggy hill
Lay in their course from sin to the abode of God,
Their wishes lost in Gods all perfect will,
Oh might not heavenly love their spirits fill?
Might not the gifts so plenteously bestowed
In former times, be given now, until
Each saint could in his life portray Gods word,
And point, BY every act, to Him he calls his Lord!
