REVIEW OF THE MILITARY.

A few weeks since, the committee OF OH
GERS appointed by the Military Convention.
lately assembled in this city, waited upon the
President of the United States and presented
the memorial of that body, requesting the for
nation of new brigade, 10 consist OF the vol
unteer companies of Washington and George
town. The Executive, we learn, wished to be
informed of the strength of the volunteer force
in the two cities, and took The occasion to
express his readiness to further the object OF
the memorial so far as might be compatible with
the duties Of his Office.
The better to afford the President the infor-
nation desired, grand parade took place yes
terday, (he anniversary of the battle of York
town. and a line was formed on the square in
front of st. Johns Church, and in view of the
Executive Mansion The companies present
were the Potomac Dragons, the Columbian
Artillery, the Washington Light Infantry, the
National Blues, the Independent Greys, the
Union Guards, the Georgetown Riflemen, the
the Marion Riiiemen, and the Mechanical Ri
flemen, under the command Of Capt. Mason.
Their appearance was truly soldier-like; and
the scene was, TO a great extent improved by the
favorable circumstances by which they were
surrounded. The sky was clear--its bright blue
here and there pleasantly relieved by clouds OF
snowy wilderness. The beams of the autumn sun
impaired grateful warmth and in great degree
bunted the sharpness Of the northern breeze
A National salute of twenty-six guns was hred
The smoke from the cannon, intermitlngly,
threw feint veil upon the line, but as it slowly
assembled to the region of its own specific gravi-
", the nodding plumes of white, and red, and
black, and green, and the arms and accoure-
ments, frightened by the solar rays, exhibited
picture of imposing grandeur
The President of the United States arrived
at two o'clock, accompanied by Major General
Scott; Colonel Seaton, the Mayor Of Washing
ton; Colonel Hunter the Marshal of the Dis
trct of Columbia Major Eaton, Colonies Tai
colt, Jesup, and Albert, and the Homo. G. Wash
inglon and Baily Pey,on, Esq, and several others
whose names we could not ascertain. The
President then reviewed the military the bands
of music, the while, performing several patriotic
airs and he subsequently retired, apparently
much gratfed with what he had witnessed.
We cannot but express the hope that the OBJ
iect which the volunteer militia have in view
may be accomplished; for it is TO the citizen
soldier that we mus, look for the protection of
our soil should foreign hirelings invade our
peaceful homes and certainly every aid should
be afforded them which will tend to enhance
their efficiency and their vaor.

OHIO ELECTION.

We give, to-day, corrected (though unofh-
cial) table Of returns from all but ten counties,
copied from the Ohio Statesman. Shannon, so
far, is 3 423 ahead. Although the Republican
majority is not likely TO be as large "a was ex-
pected by some of our correspondents, YET we
think there can be no doubt Of the election Of
Shannon.

You will see by the foregoing statement, that the
5000 majority claimed by the Wings is reduced to
9O9 majority, and all told. And even this small ma
ority was gained by the help of the Abolitionsts.-
Hurra for the Banner State the Wings call it.
Another such victory and the "Coon" party is ruined
P. S. The Wings arc in great trouble about who
shall be the next Senator from this State. There
are three prominent candidates-Wm. Upham, ii.
Everett and Jacob Collamer. We think that Mr..
Collamer will be elected. He is said to be opposed
to Bank and the Observation-Disclosures Wing.

From The Mobile Rfpisie.

MIR. Tyler is at length speaking out in his own de-
fence against the imputatons Of treachery which Mr.
Clay and bis friends have been launching against him
so long and with so much bitterness. Mr.. Wise, IN
behalf of the President, stated one fact that alters
the aspect OF the very materially, and puts the
Clay Wings at the defensive, treacherous
to John Tyler as well to the people of the United
States. We speak of the important declaration by
Mr. Wise, that Mr.. Tyler expressly reafrmed TO the
Wings in Congress- after his nomination at HARRISBURG
his continued hostility TO National Bank and that
the suppression of his letter lest it might hurt the
party" and continued to support him. The same
men denounce him as treacherous TO them because be
continued TO be opposed to bank, when they told
him that 1t would be for the interest of the party
that is of Mr.. Clay-that he should change his opin
ions.
The Madsonian follows up this demonstration by
others equally significant 1t proclams and offers 10
prove that Mr.. Tyler, so far from using the question
of bank or no bank means to forward his rc-cec
ton, distinctly and emphatcally announced to his
first cabinet his cheerful willingness to declare his in
ention of retiring after the close Of the first term SO
that his settled convection Of the inexpedicncy and
unconstutonaliiy of a bank should not be interpret
ed into desire to proptiate the popular sentiment
to his support-and that his Cabinet dissuaded hlm
from any such expression Of his Independent, honest
feelings"
The Cabinet which afterwards resigned because
he would not sign a Bank bill, thus apprised,
from the beginning, Of his "setted conviction against
the constitutionay and expediency of a Bank
b. To developc the Wing hypocrisy on this subject,
the Madisonian offers to prove "that Committee Of
members OF Congress waited upon Mr.. Gushing and
requested him TO state 10 the President that the que
ton of United States Bank should no longer be agl
tated if he (thc Presidency would promise to re-
tain the Cabinet it constituted by Gen lIar-
rison"
The Wings would give up Bank if Mr. Clay could
be permitted to control the Cabinet in other respects
through his fri ends
We begin to see light through all the mystery and
mystifcaton which have been thrown around the
two Bank bills There was desperate attempt
from the beginning, to force Mr.. Tyler into the sup
port of Mr.. Clay-to compel him 10 lend his patron
age TO that object, openly and avowedly-and for .
that purpose the Bank any thing else, would have
been sacrificed without hesitation. Without that,
every thing that Mr.. Tyler could or might do, woud
have failed TO conciliate their support They would
have sold their principles" for Office and because
Mr. Tyler would not purchase them at their price,
they insult and Willy him for not selling his Tor men
support.

HON. HENRY A. WISE,

The friends of this gentleman will doubtless
be gratiied to learn that he is recovering from
his late serious ndisposlton. He was enabled
to leave his dwelling yesterday in carriage,
for an hour, and we have reason to hope he will
soon be restored TO health.

.guJ.c Ford on Bank Suspensions.

Below we give, from the last State Register,
correspondence between j. w. Butlum, ESQ., Of
Alton, and Judge Ford, on the subject Of bank
suspensions. The Judge, it will be seen, makes
declarations for the public eye" without hesita-
ton, and, what is better yet, he takes the right,
the just and the democratic ground on the sub
iect of our banks. The letter shows itself written
by one who has no opinion to conceal, no question
to evadc by one who seeks but to return plain
answer to a plain question: and whose only desire
is, not to be misunderstood. The last paragraph
contains suggestions which, we earnestly hope,
will no, be overlooked by our farmers. The MA
con Specific" is the only means by which we can
better our present miserable currency, and the
sooner it is applied the better.
What are Joe Duncan's views on the subject
of our currency and banks! Which particular
number or article in the Alton Telegraph, Ino-
an, or Sangamo Journal contains them! or are his
opinions on this subject as diversified as those of
the editors alluded to! BE his opinions, however,
on this subject, what they may, one thing his past
history fully warrants us in believing, and that is,
that they will remain unchanged!

.CPRlNGFlELD, juno 20, IOi%.
DEAR SIR Your letter of the 23d of
this month is before me, in which you re-
quest me to state whether | will, if elected
Governor, under any circumstances, ap-
prove law legalizng a suspension of
specie payments by the Banks of this
State, or any Of them.
| have no hesitation in declaring my
opinion on the subject; and accordingly
do assure you that | look upon our banks
as incurable evils. When they were first
allowed to suspend, no one supposed that
the suspension would continue longer
than few months whereas, the suspcn-
sion has been continued from time to time
for five years.
1t is not my opinion that the State Bank
ever intends TO resume specie payments.
am slow to believe that bank suspension
is to be The settled policy in this state.
doubt whether any of them will be able
to resume by the next meeting of the gem
eral assembly ; and | am sure that the
ability of some Of them to do SO, will
greatly depend upon their success in de-
preciating the value OF their own circula-
ton ; and the amount which they may be
enabled to swindle out of the people in
the meantime.
You may set me down as being against
them. | was opposed to their creation
in the first instance and now think that
the time has probably come when they
ought to be finally wound up and put an
end 10. am sue, at any rate, that no
further suspension ought to be tolerated ;
and accordingly, if l am elected Cover
nor, will never, under any circumstan'
ces, approve of a suspension law.
| have in my public addresses, advised
the farmers to enter into general combi-
nation, and let it be known, not 10 receive
our local currency for this years crop in
the fall. The sooner they come TO thi:
resolution the better. The price of the
produce will not depend upon the amour
of money III the state, but upon the de
mand abroad. If it is wanted al the cas-
or south, the people who want it vii
bring money with them to purchase it
and it will be good money. But if the!
. find our people so depraved as to preie
: or tolerate spurious or deprecated cur
rency, they will take their good money t
