The prevailing impression at Tuscaloosa, on the least of the Branches-tliose at Mobile and Decatur would be put into the hands of Commissioners, to collect the suspended debts, if not wind them up altogether. The Bank Committee of the House, have, are told, Bill in preparation, n substi- tue for that which has passed the Senate. The Sem ate Bill, we suppose, is out of the question:
 The Fire Company Bill, for this city, passed the House the Both ut. It is general Bill for Con- panios 3, 6, I and the Hook and Ladder Co. The Bill for the relief of journeymen mechanics in Mo- ble (he lien bill, we suppose,) has also passed the House.
 There will, are told, be little if any opposition to the City Charter bill, as reported The time of election is point unsettled. It will probably be put oflfill October, or November. There will an amend menl to prevent aliens from voting.
 Some of the particular friends of this Branch thank the Commissioners report er parte. If they can alter the figures in the statements of the Bank it. self they may draw different nferences, but not oth- erwise. The only coloring given to the report We understand it, is in the of certain rules of arithmetic, by which the progressive condition of the bank from year to year, is stated-addition to shew the increase of suspended debt satisfaction o shew the decrease of means, and simple di,isin to shew through how many years, the of the capital will last
 We should like to argue these points with the gentlemen.

parade last winter, but he estimates there will
be Il deficit at the end Of the present y,g. % l2,
coo ,O0O which ought to BE- charged to the late adj
niini,ralion How does he make it OUT Why,
he first charges to Mr.. Van Eur-n all The Hcto ap-
DiOpriJiiOHs of three or four millions which he asks
for himself, and then puts down The anticipated re-
cepis from the Customs and the Public Lands, ut
seven or eight millions less Than Mr.. Woodbury's
estimate of them, and their probable income -
Thus he fixes up deficiency At once, and after
adding to it : coo eco, which be wants to keep
on hand all the time, for the benefit Of his Rank
friends, and the land revenue which be wants TO
give away. he bawls out Justify fora Funded Dcit,
and las followers ct tho North say, Amen
Is il easy TO get mp preoNt for funded debt,
if the administration is disposed, but there is not
half the excuse for srch an incubus now, as there
was " hen l,r. Van Buren, came in. lie became
President ut period of great embarrassment. Tho
distribution act was in the course Of execution and
soon followed a siopplgc Of specie payments by
nearly all the banks. Thus the public deposil5s
were rendered unayalIlng, while large part Of the
Merchants bonds were suspended, and the reyen-
ues from customs and the publ, lands was enor-
mousy reduced. Afterwards came two large re-
duc;ions in the Tariff, under Nh. Clay's ComprOm-
$50 Act, aud, al the time, extraordinary expenses,
like the Sll 600 GOO for the removal Of the Semi
mole Indians, and the s3,oO000O for necessary
public buildings, were draining the National purse,
like so many leeches upon the body polite
Yet, noiwths landing all this, Mr. Van Huran's
administration went through the almost uneXam-
pied difficulties Of its term, and promptly dschnrg-
ed all its obligations, without imposing single tax,
or creating dollar of permanent Debt Bat, Gu
rous to observe, the very nuw administration which
is clamcrous aganst the extravaganza + It's predr-
cessors, commences lis career by proposing addi-
iional taxes, new appropriations aud funded

ed reform will be the b'ierest dose which tho

TO FARMERS AND PLANTERS.

Did you ever reflect, that our country must pay
in the products of its OWE labor, for every thing it
buys from another country DO You not perceive,
that it is your grain and cotton and other products
sold abroad, which pay for every gallon of French
wines brought into this country?
Did you eyer reflect inasmuch as other nations
also' have no means of purchasing out of the pro-
duets of their own industry, i ~e buy nothing Of
them they cGa ing nothing Of as
Do you not perceive, therefore, that a duty on
French wines, which, by increasing the price, will
diminish the quantity consumed, and of course the
quantity bought in France, riU impair, to the ex-
tent Of that diminulion, The foreign markGt ali0-

A correspondent Of the .AcU Era, says on lh,
subject, that many thousand men who last fall
left the Democratic ranks TO support for once, the
Federal party, under the vain hope that, by the ell
forts Of that party, their private dslresses would
find some relief, will now meet wolaI disappont-
mcnt, Is every day becoming so evident, that none
can fail to perceive it. This is shown in II vari-
ely Of ways, hu. in nothing more plainly than in
their recent course respecting General Bankrupt
Law. But few months ago, when the now de-
rIuuded Democrats were in power, the leading
Wings at Washington, were all kindness aud SYM
pathy to the unfortunate but honest insolyent. In
speeches ofpowcrful argument, and thrilling pa
thos they set forth the miscries Of hopeless insol-
yency, and tho barbarity Of making good men SUI
fer protfac,ed bondage for unavoidable lainrc
They let it ring from one end Of the country to the
other, that all they wanted was power, to give the
honest bankrupt fall, final and eiectua dis
charge from his previous obligations. And such
was the cosency Of their reasoning, the earnest
ness of their manner, and the whole tenor Oftheir
conduct, that many, too many Of the bankrupis Of
the country, Of whom there Is an indiscrbable
number, believed their sayings and relied upon
their promises. In these men they thought they
saw their true fcnds.-They remembered how
promptly bill was voted for by Them in the Sem
ate Of the United States; how near in fact it had
already come 10 being law, how general was
tho supposed favor il had with the great political
leaders, who might by heir efforts gain the ascen-
dancy llopo stimulated energy, and energy pro-
cured success to the new administration; and now
that all is secure for the time, the poor disappoint.
cd bankrupt is left 10 bewail the folly Of depond
ing upon Federaiist promises. Yet whom has he
to blaim? How often, Mr. Editor, have ,oa in
common with other Democratic editors, warned
these men against placing reliance where only
onsht to be found disirust, and giving assurance
to deception becoming its voluntary dupes, Is
there here any thing newt Certainly not. In 9TH
or shapes, tho same principles Of ,rickery has
thousand times been exerted with success, only
because men are willing TO hazard tho real for the
and prone to forget the bitterest ex-
perieuco in the view of natlcring prospects, how

a great Iualer.--A man by the name of CoJi
has been appointed Postmaster a, Barton, in place
of &. ". KimbaH, removed. This Cobb was
notorious smuggler, and an alder and nbeiior Of
smugglcrs during the late war with Great Britain,
and is Of oil persons, fit and proper tool for the
present Administration. The public money will
undoubtedly be perfectly safe in The hands of such
fellows as Cobb and Curtis Elkins.
By-the-way, the Patriot thinks it quite apparent.
according TO the rule of appointment adopted by
the present administration, that Cobb should have
had place in the Custom House, instead Of the
Post Office.
