mine into its condition, and make such
report, in regard thereto for the infor

proper. Supposing that we might, in
some degree, render service to the pub

ers in the Bank - that we owe ii moth,
ing - and that we have no other interest
in its affairs than that possessed by the
public in general.
In the examination which wo have
made, we have necessarily been con
fined, in The ascertainment Of facts, 10
the Books, Exhibits, snd Papers Of the
Bank, and the statements Of lis officers;
and we would say, that there are many
things touching the business and effects
Of the Bank abroad, and it9 interest in
real estate, Of which we could rot, in the
short time we have devoted 10 this
matter, obtain that clear and definite
information, which fully satisfies the
mind. Indeed, our examination has
been almost exclusively confined TO
this question: Has The Bank sufficient
assets to discharge its liabilities Witdout

this being the case, it will bo readily

DANIEL WEBSTER.

The editor Of tho Louisville Journal
has denounced this gentleman Of late
very bitterlyj and, we regret to say,
that there is serious cause Of complaint
against him,
That paper was selected to publish
the laws by Mr.. Webster. But because
it's able editor spoke strongly both of
men and moasureS, and ventured to
cenSure the conduct of the Secretary of
State, he was removed by him from Of
fee!

some Of our friends may imagine that

In coming to conclusion as to the

no little dficuIIy-and it would, per-
haps, be doing wrong to tho owners of
stock in the Bank, if we did not explain
our mode Of raising the items on this
side Of the account, A few words will
explain. At the commencement Of the
examination we were presented with

from the Books, showing tho total a.

LOCOFOCO LEGISLATION.

The Locolocos will never be satisfied
until they have used up and aPpropria-
ted the last particle Of General Jack
sons influence and popularity. With a
view to this, every year they manage
to bring before the public some matter
concerning the Generals personal or
political conduct. They strive indus.
trousIy to identify him with every par.
ty contest, and to mount him foremost
on overy hobby that may enable them
to ride into power. 1t is now nearly
five years since General jackson reti-
red to private life, covered with all the
honors which generous and mighty
people could bestow on one Of their fell
low citizens. All other Elk Presidents
(except John Q, Adams, after retiring
from the Presidency, had scrupulously
absained from participating in party
poitcs-lheir preferences as to men,
we're locked up in their own bosoms, and
all the efforts Of partisans 10 connect
them with eleclioneering contests, we're
baflled and defeated. Not so with Ex-
President Jackson. 1t has been the
Uniform policy Of the LocoioCos to keep
him constantly before the people, in one
attitude or another. Relying upon
General Jackson's popularity and inAu'
ence, and not upon the merits Of their
men and measures, they have drawn
him into the service of the party, regu'
lurly, for every political campaign that
has occurred since his retirement from
the Presidency! We speak Of facts we'll
known 10 every man Of reading. Gen,
Jackson was drawn out in support Of
Van Buren's Sub. Treasury. He was
induced, in 1870, to enter lhe lists a.
ganst General Harrison, whom he
abused and traduced, He has been in
volved in the discussions Of "Bank Re-
form" lie has been called out in de.
fence OF President Tyler's Uetoes. And
now new and ridiculous movement lie
made, simultaneously, in the Legisla.
lures Of Ohio and New Work, (perhaps,
in other States aIso,) to make a little
moro political capital out Of he Hero
Of New Orleans.
! 1t will be remembered by those who
are familiar with Gen. Jackson's career.
that, in 1915, he was indicted and fined
in The sum Of one thousand dollars, in
one of the civil Courts Of Louisiana.
That sum, If the history Of the times
may be relied on, was made up by citi'
zcns; and the fine and costs discharged,
without drawing a cent from the purse
Of Gen. Jackson. For the long period
Of hOenty Sir or Seucn gears, that affair
has been Po rmilled to rest; and, SO fat

We trust there will be enough Of the

we think, greatly upon The manner in

20 We give below extract from another let
ter; it is from Clergyman, (Episcopalian,) a man
of high order of talent and of high standing:
"I am now in the midst of Fouriers Quatre
Mouuements,' (the name of Fourer's FIRST work, }
an apocalypse of splendor albeit revealed thus far
only in glinpses, which stimulate ones mental
vision to still farther research and make the soul
wish itself Imprisoned that it might bathe in this
ocean of glory. The appetite of curiosity here
grows by what j. feeds on; : and have that free
dom from prejudices which will enable me to read
without hypercriticism his NEST strange disco-
sures or to dissent from his assertions should their
truth be not emonstrated-impressed as am
with admiration for his integrity his originality,
his philosophy, his poetic inspiration, and MS soli-
tary genius How his soul must have plunged
into all sciences, and dared ali depths and nights,
and tramped on all the fustian fabrics of false phi
osophy and tritc, threadbare literature! Attimes
I have suspected him possibly familiar with the
wisdom OF India, where magnetism, and the COM
pass, and a true astronomy, were known long be-
fore their pretended discovery in Europe but then
he betrays elsewhere seeming ignorance of ori.
entail literature, which proves bis simplicity of pur-
pose, and leaves YOU astonished at the ceiaciden-
ces. The defect in his spirit which most adj
dresses my regret is his utter contempt for the
philosophical and political leaders of the world,
and existing notions and habits. Now, if we grant
these to be all wrong, and dreadful hindrances to
our Acknowledgement and the worlds speedier hap
pncss, this is not the means of convincing or per-
suading the erroneous. Many will cling TO false
hood for fear of famine, and must be insured bread
before thev dare be honest; but the nlajority-l
am satisfied, the Infinite majority-are either to-
tallv ignorant, or else blind with the auaurosis
of prejudice, which will not lie. them see. Civil
zation is the period of indisence, rosuery and op-
preston That is what the societary writers truly
say; and it lacks no proof. Well, the indigencei is
afraid of oppression, and both afraid of rogGesy
when new scheme is broached. The intrigue,
the chicaLery, the vulpne ecunnng-alot; OF IN
posing hunibugs-ha7e made experience dislrust,
and observation cowardice. Thay live as they
live, wherever the few suspect the truth, because
,ley are on the rack of misery; and few heroes
have lived from whom falsehood-any thing you
please to dictate-eould not be expressed, when
they were agonized by the tortures of the rack.
