cogent manner in which he states his views, shows
that his mind is familiar with the great question of
public policy. But he handles them like a country

DEPENDENCE ON BANKS.

Our dependence upon banks has done US
great injury We have become accustomed
10 look upon them as the life blood of trade,
and to think that without them il must die.
We have been mistaken in thus constantly
putting the cause for the effect. All the
banks that ever existed have been sustained
by trade, but never has trade depended upon
them for support. 1t has sought them as mat
tiers of convenience, bet not rs Il source Of
life. 1t would hive gone on and %prosrered
well, it not better. without than with them.
The chnveniencies necessary for lis purpose
wculd have grown up in some other form,
and If left Ia look To lis own interests in this
respect. instead of being miSchievouSlv med

found more efficient and more faithful agents
than the soulless and irresponsible corpora.
iI"ns which have heen imposed upon it by
Interested and selfish legislators. Let US not
suppose then that the failure Of n few rotten
banks, the broken reeds on which we have
leancd-or The diScredit Of their false prom
Uses. can PROSTATE trade. No. let every one

GEN. JACKSON AND THE BIDDLE
BANK.

The time has come when Europe and A.
merica will do Justice to General J.cxsoN il
relation to the Bank Of the United SIates-
when his sagacIty, his courage. his incorrup-
tibiIitv, in relation to that institution, and his
saving the public money in it-wil be the
theme Of universal applause, and Of unbound
ed national gratitude. He, eight years ago,
took the ground that the institution was
CORRUPT and lNSOLVENT; and, acting
upon that belief. he interposed his great
the veto-the removal Of tho
deposIies-Ihe specie circular-the law a.
gainst the Circulation o. the old notes.-the
sale of the United States stock in the insti.
tuition. These measures have saved the u.
nlted States stock, and got for it SIl8 on the
share, which is now selling for SIS a share:
thew saved the deposites, amounting to many
millions: they stopped the receipt OF the
notes at the land offices and customs, and
saved millions more: they stopped the is.
sue of the old dead notes, and saved millions
again; above all. they stopped The existence
OF the Bunk. and thereby put m end 10 the
dominion al the most CORRUPT and COR
RUPTiNG institution which the world ever
beheld-a fur nraIn of corruption which spar-
ed nothing public or private, and poured its
brihes into the hands Of every iunciionary
that would take them. If it had not been
for JACKSON. that vas, colossus of crime and
fountain of corruption would now be in full
life, >ustainingitself on the credit and resour-
ces of the United States-taxing the peo-
pie TO fill its vault and empiying its vaults 10
enrich lis favOriies and TO subsidize members
of Congress, and TO pension as many as
were necessary TO sustain it. For these acts;
which saved the country, The Bank had the
patriot President condemned by a Senate;
many Of whom were its debtors, attorneys,
and retainers: the people expunged that in
famous sentences; and now it is 10 be revived
10y expunging the expunging resolution
More: the very men who devoured that
Bank, are demanding n new one! The same
men, and he Same PARTY, after eviscerating
n ,hirty-fve million Bank, demand another Of
fifty or one hundred millions; and these men;
hv 4 freak of fortune, are now in the ascen-
dant in American politics. Leaving out MIR.

men are now the masters of the Govern.

We make the following eloquent extract
from a speech delivered by the Hon. William
Allen of Ohio, one of the most sterling demo-
Gratis in the Nation, on the Distribution OF
the proceeds of the public Lands. His allu-
sion to the course of the Godlike Daniel
during the late War, must have brought up
rather unpleasant rem niscenceS.
Already is England deeply Interested
through the stocks of her bankers, in our
State legislation. Already las she had mdn-

great as her interests are, and strong her
motives, both will increase a hrndred-i"ld
