THE TWO BANK PROJECTS.

Our readers having now before them
the respective plans of the two leading d.
visions of the Wing party at Washington,
it will become the duty of each citizen of
the Republic to deliberate and decide for
himself as to their relative fitness--in view
as well of the constitution as the condition
of the country, and in view of the dangers
as well as the advantages, which may flow
from the enacton of either, or a COM
pound of both.
For misunderstanding been bred in the
school which recognized the States as the
constituents of the government of the
United States, our jealousy of all ap-
proaches or assmilations to an undue as
sertion of nationaliSm, has rendered the
Difference which is manifested for the con-
sent of the States, in the plan from the
Treasury, the more grateful to our feelings
and the more accordant with our construc-
ton of the powers and duties of Con-
gress.
The question of poDer we will not argue
anew. Surprising, even, for the sake of
the argument, the sounder and preponder-
ant opinion Of our friends to be that 1t
erists-unqualifiedly and without limit
is power, nevertheless, of kin to others
we could enumerate, always disputed, and
the exercise of which ought nerer to be
resorted to while the objects and purposes
for which the Union was formed can be
as well and more harmoniously effected, by
means less harsh in their assumptions and
disquieting in their assertions.
But little doubt, either, can be enter
tanned, that every State IN the Union will
ACCEPT the contract thus proposed by
Congress. We speak, however, more espe-
cially for Missouri,-the "sternness OF
whose opposition" the National Intelligent
Ger has assumed will keep her alone out Of
the compact which is thus proposed for the
establishment of sound and uniform cur
rency. That sternness, we take leave to
say, has had relation more to the question
of po,Dcr than to the question Of interest or
expediency; and we hazard but little in
predicting that we can las we hope we
may) 90 into the fight in our local elections
next year, and return a east majority Of
members, of all previous parties, in favor
of meeting the Federal Government upon
the safe and honorable halfway ground
proposed in the plan of the Secretary Of
the Treasury.

VIEWS OF A FREE THINKER.

The New York Herald and its various
correspondents keep aloof from political
parties, and have of course, alternate
praises and curses, accordingly as what
they think and write accords with the
wishes or interests of the reader. The
paper itself has perhaps three times as
many readers as any in the Union, on
which account, in connexion with its repu-
tation for great freedom in looking back in
to things, and its sagacity in sometimes pre-
dieting the future before its contemporaries
are awake, politicians can't do without it,
even though they go behind the door to
read and curse it.
We therefore make our extract from its
Washington correspondent, and its editor
ial column of the 22d ultimo:
From the Correspondent.
1.-THE fundamental difference between the views
of the President and Mr.. Clay is this. The Pres-
dent wants agent to transact the financial affairs
of the government, and subserve the interests of
the people by assisting to give stability and uni
formity to the currency, and operate on domestic
exchanges. Mr.. Clay and bis friends want Ma
tiona Bank for the accommodation of borrowers.
Mr. Clay must yield, and the Presidents plan pre-
vail, or we go back to the exploded pet bank sys-
TEN, which all sane men concur in denouncng as
a miserable failure"

of Cincinnati should desire to Keep watch over his
remains by entombing them near their city, is both
natural and becoming; that the entire West where

glory, should sigh TO perform the la st melancholy
duties to the remains of their old commander, is

RE-ELIGIBILITY OF THE PRESI-

GOVERNOR CHAMBERS, of Iowa, has en-

zeal that promises the most favorable re-
suits to all the interests committed to his
charge. He has, since his arrival, visited
some of the Indians over whose affairs he
is ex-officio superintendent, and at the latest
accounts, he was visiting various places

The following is the correspondence commune
Gated to Congress by the President of the United
States on Tuesday. 1t was referred to the Com
mittee appointed upon the subject of the death of
the late President
WASHINGTON, June l6, 1s4l.
The President Of The United STATES:
DEAR SIR: The undersigned were appointed by
the citizens ard the City Council of Cincinnati,
and by many of the surviving soldiers of the late
war, to apply to the widow and family of our dis
tinguished fellow citizen, the late President of the
United States for permission to remove his remains
from the city Of Washington to the State of Ohio
for nterment. They have made the application
directed, and have received permission to perform
the sacred trust. They have now the honor of re.
porting to you their arrival in this city, and of
asking your appreciation of the measure contem-
plated, and your cooperation IN carrying it into
effect.
We are fully aware of the high estimate you
placed on the talents and virtues of our lamented
friend and feow-citizen, the late Chief Magistrate
of the Union, whose friendship and confidence you
possessed many years. We saw the tear fall from
your eye and mingle with the tears of the nation
when the inscrutable will of Heaven removed him
from US.
Knowing these things, we approach you with con-
idence, we'll assured that you will justly appre-
ciate our motives for undertaking the mournful
duty we have been deputed TO perform, and that
the same kind feeling which has marked your
course through life will prompt you on this Occa-
sion to afford countenance and, if necessary, your
cooperation.
If it meet your appreciation, the committee will
do themselves the honor Of waiting upon you at
the Presidents House, at any hour you may please
to designate.
With high respect, we arc your friends and fell
low-citizens.
