The Vermont delegation voted as follows:-
Aye, Messrs. Maitocks and Young; nay, Messrs.

tocks voted against the passage OF the bankrupt
net and is therefore consistent in voting for its
peal. Mr.. Young voted for the law, and his last
vote shows al apparent change in his views. We
doubt not he has good reasons, in his own judg-
ment TO justify his course, and we therefore re-
greet 10 see disposition in neiglibor of the

surrender their property to their creditors we are
in favor of, and we so fur in favor of the pres

The recent acts of the Executive-especially his

sunder the friends from the foes The Administration

The other hand, We have gained large number of
doubtful tmid men, who have not heretofore seen

Their convictions by the way side, and in the field
'hai JOHN TYLER is just the for the criss-that
in courage, taen, and frmness he far exceeds their
most sanguine expectations. His name is coupled
with that OF 'Old Hickory" by the Jackson men,
and his glory, already in their minds equal TO that
OF the stout old Hero of New Orleans. The senti-
men is dropping deep into the Democratic mind, that
john Tyler Is true disciple of Thomas Jefferson,
and what is more, true friend to his country.
Ours is emlnenly manufacturing State, and tn ere
fore may be supposed to contain many advocates of
high Tariff and National Bank. But think |
see Indications that the ultra Wing mind is gradually
letting 60 It's hold those doctrines which
have caused SO much strife for SO many years. The
question often asked, how far the manufacturers
would be benefited by high protection, than by
the Tariff contemplated by President Tyler and the
Democracy. Still Mr.. Clay is strong here among
the Wings especially the oticeholders, and from the
more violent of them we have nothing to expect.
Tho friends Of the Administration have made no
public demonstration in this State, recently in favor
OF John Tyler, by way of conventions speeches, and
things of that sort but the seed has be en- sow and
the blade has shot up the light You are aware of
the decided stand lately taken by several Democratic
presses In Connecticut, in favor Of the Veto. 1t is
an undoubed fact that this act Of the President is
approved 10y large majority of the People of the
land of steady habits, and that his personal popula
rty has immensely increased in consequence. 1t has
better served to euniie the disoilled members Of the
great Democratic family than all the distractions in
the world.
The prospect is cheering. If the President will
hold on and hold out-and am sure he will-,here
will, before long, spring up host of men armed for
the support of an injured and nsuIted Administra-
ton Thousands will rise on every side valiant SOL
diers, ready to answer the demands of truth and pa
triotism, come what may

CRUEL DELAY OF JUSTICE.

main in the hands of Congress, not yet passed The
oppression of this delay is cruel in the extreme
There is probably well nigh million of dollars now
due to claimants in and about city. The dsappon
ments and vexatioHs extend to all classes of the com
munity--the brokers, the merchants, the mechanics
and the day laborers. Great numbers of men have
been dismissed from necessity and without their pay
too In Brooklyn, told, there are cases where
mechanics have been discharged from the Navy Yard
who for want of their pay have been unable to meet
their rent and their furniture has been seized by their
landlords and sold, and their families turned into the
street Is this the way in which the distresses of the
common people are to be relieved The wrong GER
talnly cannot be laid upon the President Say what
we may of John Tyler, it is not he who refuses to
pay the gallant sailors of our Navy and soldiers of
our Army. 1t is not he who has dismissed day labo-
rers from service unpaiI Certainly Congress has
done this. Ii is Congress who has coldly brought
about all this suffering by its than careless IN
difference to the claims Of justice. The appropria-
ton bill for their own pay, the members could pass
as the first matter of the session, that they might pay
their first months board out Of the public Treasury
But the poor laborer the hardy warrior the merchant
and the negotiator-they may all wait months and
the members of Congress will not even say ave- to
relieve their distress The voice Of the laborers who
have done service cries TO heaven against US and
covers our nation with crime and shame Will the
people bear this We suppose they will, until they

Then they will exhibit the proper indignation OF a

CLAWS VIRGIN HEIFER SPEECH

The Wing papers have b en- publishing long
speech which Mr.. Clay recently made at the LexiDg-
ton, Ky, barbecue. But it appears to be dead
weight on their hands, although 1t was intended as
the grand opening Of the drama towards the next Pres
dency.-Itis most disgustingly egotstical Mr. Clay
considered it p udent TO sound his trumpet lest
it should not be sounded at all. He attributes all
the embarassments of the country to General Jack
son, who has been for years retired to his Hermitage,
and is fast sinking to hs grave. CAS- for John Ty-
ler he says che is snap, fash in the pam
Whether MIR. Tyler is 'amere snap" or not, Ire has
obtained an elevation tina, Mr. Clay never reach.
But the best part Of the farce relates to that vgn
heifer."
II cannot help thinking says Mr.. Clay, "that
the fat white virgin Du ham heifer, of my friend Mr.
Bergman, that cost sur hundred dollars, which has
just been served up ererted influence in swelling
this unprccedenedly large meeting"
II is quite probable indeed that the people were
more anxious for TASTE Of the "roast beef" than
they TO hear Gen. Jackson and President Tyler
used by individual who is anxious TO get

EXPENSE OF NATIONAL BANKS

| According to the evidence of Mr.. Bidde, late Pre-
given In his sixth letter. the semiyeary expense of
managing that institution amounted to the enormous
sum of four hundred and ninety-two thousand seven
hundred and ffty-eight dollars nine hundred and
eghty-hve thousand, five hundred and seventeen dol
lars per annum. That immense sum is abundany
dred clerks for their public services. There is good
reason to believe that the annual expense of compen-
satlng President, Cabinet Council Auditors, and
all tie clerks in Washington falls short of that sum-
Such as now lift up their voices and cry out
against the necessary expenses of the General Gov
eminent, with all the might and MAN, never speak
word against the expense of maintaining Ma
tional Bank.
1t was stated in public paper, about fifteen
months ago. that there at that time nine hundred
and forty clerks employed in the Bank of England
at an average annual compensation of thousand
pounds sterling each-or about four million FIVE hun
dred and twelve thousand dollars in the aggregate
Allowing that statement to be correct the aggregate
expense of managing that institution cannot fall shor
of seven millions of dollars per annum What
nation would be destitute of such superlative
blessing
The Unsuitable thirst for borrowing and oaning pa
per money in this country usury for the sake of
gain, renders it impossible to establish permanent
National Bank. Such as would establish such an
institution, would soon make it nsolvcnt by Dor
rowing.

The more laborers the better so they work
