This gentleman Is now fairly before the Demo
cracy in this district as their candidate for Con-
gress. All the democratic papers in the district
have openly declared themselves in his favor, and
he is now canyassing the district in real good
earnest, with the assurance of success. if his
friends do their duty. Let but the Democracy
rally and triumphant victsry will crown their
efforts. He is man worry the support of every
Inoian-his moral character is above suspicion
his political integrity never has been questioned
his long residence in the State, and his sincere
devotion to her best interests, claim the respect
and support OF all, and particularly of his de-
mocratc fellow-citizcns. He was one of the De-
mocratic Electors last November and run con-
sIderably ahead Of the ticket, thus showing that
he has, not only the confidence Of his party, but
that he is universally respected and esteemed as
an honest man, faithful public servant, and a
good citizen, Where he is best known he is most
esteemed, and we have every assurance that he
will receive e much increased vote in his own
eghborhood-wheGeh his many virtues are best
known, and his character and qualifications are
best understood
Let, then, every Democrat RALLY! They
have candidate worthy of their support, and
should he be elected he will be an honor to his
constituents, credit to the State, and an able adj
vocaic of her claims in the Nations Council

Commissioner Of the general land onic

Friday, July 2.-Senaic-The bill to
charter national bank coming up as the
special order, Mr.. Choate, Mass rose
and entered into an earnest appeal to the
friends of the administration to unite in
the adoption of the amendment of Mr..
Rives as the only means of accomplishing
the principal object Of the extra session,
and among other inducements to draw the
wings to the support Of this plan of bank
he said, Il have no doubt-indced. | will
say to my friends that | know-if they

ment now proposed, they will have no
bank this session" Mr.. Clay, who en-
tered the chamber shortly after Mr.. Choale
had begun, and who, by the expression of
his face, appeared to have been ''as little
prepared for the entertainment to which
he was invited as he rclishcd it when he
came after listening for some time with
as much patience as he could command to
Mr.. Choate's ''imploration, as he after
wards called it. could now stand it no lon
ger, and rose to call on the honorable Sc
nator for the grounds upon which he made
this broad assertion. MI Choate REPLIED
by hoping that the senator from Kentucky
would allow hin manfully to express his
hrm conviction without being obliged to
give reasons which she could not rive
without breach of privilege, or violating
parliamentary rule, which he was not
disposed TO do" He was then allowed
to proceed without interruption.
Afterwards Mr.. Archer alluded to Mr..
Clay attempt to draw out direct admis-
SION that the presidents determination in
regard to the motion pending was referred
to by Mr.. Choate. Mr.. Clay rose TO ex-
plain. 1t did not follow, he said. that the
fact stated depended on the determination
OF the executive. 1t might be that the gcn.
iIeman had pollcd one of the other leais.
allve branches, and found that the Ming
now presented was the only measure tina,
'ould be carried. Mr.. Choatc said he had
lot made use of the name or official an.
horIy of the executive, but had express.
ID his conviction derived from many facts
nd deductions, which he did no, think nc.
ossary to explain.
