FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
Mr.. EDITOR -" A few days ago, | noticed, in the
letter of the N X Correspondent for the InteIgencer
that the name of the Hon. Leyere Saltonstall is be-
fore the Legislature Of Massachusetts, for the vacancy
in the Senate of the u s. from that State occasoned
by the resignation Of honest John Davis leho Il is
kn0ion Hrel0 up his hat in the streets of Woreester
when he heard that the Capitol Of the Union had
been fired by the British and who has recently been
elected Governor of Massachusetts"
Extract from the Globe of the 18th inst
t" He that maketh envy and crooked malice nourish-
ment, dare bite the hest"
The writer Of the above infamous article, may be-
lieye the above SANDER respecting Gov Davis il SO,
and he Ietracts it, he will wipe away the stain that
taches itself to who inculcates This much
is true Of the writer he has published charge agansI
Governor Davis, lohich he k,rsw thathe did not know
to be true"
The charge, that Governor Davis "threw up his hal
for Joy in the streets Of Worcester when he heard the
Of the burning of the Capitol us lie, equaled
only in turptude by the base heart of the miserable
creature in Worcester who coined it-made up from
whole cloth without vestige or even shadow o
truth upon which to fabricate it, and intended fol
the late campaign in that State. The high state
of political excitement at that time, may be of
fered in mitigation for the assertion at the time il wa
made; but to reerate it now, when that excitement i
past, with view to impress il fact, upon the his
tory Of the times, is cod-blooded cankerhearted and
unworthy Of notice, except the source from which
emanates is intended to give it the character of paus
bility.
Governor Davis is now in the hands of the people
of Massachusetts,, who properly understand his cha.
racter and have by their votes evnced that they pro-
perly appreciate it. MASSA.

or So 500 000 and in case the Bank should require it,
with So, 100000 more. There cannot now be the

Cor. cOmsgys' Msssage.-The Message Of Gov.
comegys was communicated TO the two Houses on
the 9Th inst II refers mostly to matters Of local inte-
rest. The Common School System now in operation
throughout the State seems TO be in respects de-
fective The appointment Of general SuPennten-
dent is recommended -also some notifications IN the
law imposing the School tax II is proposed TO en-,
emPt persons whose taxable property does not exceed
three hundred dollars.
The Penal Code of the State is thought needs re-
vnion. Many Of the punisIments inflicted by i are
severe beyond the modes and feelings Of the agein-
somuch that the excessive rgor Of the law often de-
eas It's own end through the necessary Interpolation
OF the Pardoning power, the unwingness ofjuries
TO condemn.
An appropriation is recommended for the benefit Of
the INDECENT Deaf and Dumb in the commonwealth
provision has already been made for the INDECENT blind
Allusions are made to communications from the
Governor of New York relative the ofthe House
Of Representatives at Washington, in excluding the
Congressional delegates from that State; also from
the Governor of Virginia concerning the dispute with
New York and from the citizens of the District Of
Columbia.
On the subject of National Bank the following
remarks occur
The occasion is suitable, gentlemen, for recommend
ing to you the passage of resolutions in favor of Ma
tional Bank In respect to the constitutional power
of Congress TO charter such intuition, trust there
can be no doubt whatever. The venerated names OF
Washington who approved the first, and Madison who
approved the second act Of Incorporation TO say moth
ing Of the many other and high authorities that have
united in expression 10 its consttutionallty,
should in my humble opinion put this matter forever
to rest. Besides, knowledge which has been purchas
ed by long and painful experience of the utter made
quacy of state banks to the multorm exgencies of the
country and the whole business community, estab-
shes beyond all controversy, the absolute necessity
for such an institution | hope that you, gentlemen,
will far respond to the acquisitions Of your country
and your constituents to furnish representation
in Congress with decided expression Of your views,
in this matter and also your unqualified dsapproba-
ton of the act passed at the last sesson-amiarly
known the sub treasury law.

As this Personsgeis about 10 become again an "ex,

late case of Stokes et ai u.s. Kendall not TO bring in

A writer on the passions, says
Malice, is frequently employed to express the
dispositions of inferior minds TO execute every pur-
pose Of mischief within the more limited circle OF their
abilities"
Paley says:
Malicious SANDER is the relating of either truth or
iaisehood, for the purpose of creating misery"
Old Chaucer, says;
when they have been perverted and turned into
malice certes than they have forlome the nature of
mankind"
IL signifies evilness, ill-will, &C.
Of such dispositions has Amos Kendall been found
guilty by an impartial jury of his country. DISPOSE
tons which, carried into Offices of power, leave such
detestabe characters the page of history as Com

their associates, what may yet expect to learn of
Mr.. Van Buren,
Proud tyrants who naliciousIy destroy
And ride DER ruins with malignant Joy,
Humbled In dust soon to their cost shall know
Heaven our avenger and mankind their foe.
Mr.. Kendall is an enthusiast in politics. But en-
thusiasm when tinged by malice is fanaticism.

There has been practice prevailing here for
years past, to limited extent which, chronicer
of events at the CAPITOL feel called upon to expose.
The two Houses of Congress, you know, are allowed
a large number of Pages, or boys in waiting, to
to and from the Senate Chamber and Hall of the
House, to do the bidding of the members These
boys, most of whom under ten and twelve years,
are allowed ST. so day, OF $40 so week for this
little service. Some half dozen years since,
ricious members brought their sons and obtained
employment for them as Messengers. The practice
always repudated and in one instance, old 'Ben
Hardin, of KY, threatened father to expose his
conduct to the House, if he did not withdraw his
from the service. The threat was successful to ac-
compsh its purpose At the last session, DR.. Dun
CAM SO notorious and so infamous all over the land
brought on his for this purpose. Col JOHNSON
gave him Messengers place in his room and he was
paid for eight months service and $3.50 extra at the
end of the session. in all between six and seven humid
red dollars. This session, again. the Doctor brings
forward his son. and he receives the same per diem as
before and will at the end Of the session. probably re-
ceive an extra peyment,-such being the practice
