Erchanges.-lt was part of the coIlser tive system of the Wings, to rely upon United States Bank to regulate exchanges tween different cities of the Union, and vi foreign countries. If we may be permit to infer the signifcation applied by the VIM to this word reguldte, from the praci which they approved and applauded, should say it meant that the United SuI Bank be authorized to monopolize all foreign and domestic exchanges in the had of Mr. Riddle, to fix any rate of discount premium that pleased him, and to give drafts for promissory notes to those of favorites whom he was most desirous obliging; to throw out all paper offered Democrats, and to place all Democrats, fr| Portland, in Maine, to New Orleans, uD| the ban of prescription, so far as they co be reached by the power of the bank. opposing his tyrannical measures and ilt schemes, Mir. Riddle called the Democr7 with General Jackson at their head, radic3 agrarians, destructives. The sequel is knof Riddle and his United States Bank would now have sunk into utter oblivion, but for efforts of Mir. Clay and the Whig Conser tives to revive them and keep them bda the eyes of mankind; and one reasona the principal one, alleged by that great Ca servative, is the necessity of having cent moneyed power~to regulate exchanges. what is the conclusion drawn from the hse of exchanges? We have known exchan between New Orleans and the Northern E ties, whilst the United States Bank of Pez sylvania was in full and (according to dle's own declaration) prosperous ops tion, to vary from five to twenty-five X centum. And what is the rate of excbaN at the present moment, when there is no ted States Bank, and when the local hf1 here, with two or three exceptions, are deeD7 so utterly worthless that no man will chase bill from them3. What are changes now, when they are in their nan state, (as they ought ever to be- withoul tificial regulations, and depending in movements solely on the uncontrolled c@! oftrade They are lower, more equal, ap what IS more important than any thing to those engaged in trade-they are stts and more permanent in their range of than ever they were before. But conpp to what they were in the last years d United States Bank, when they were regup by that institution, the difference is striking.

FAREWELL.
When eyes are dreaming

When eyes are dreaming What never tongue can tell, When tears are streaming From their cryst cell; Nfel hands ar Gnk'd that dr iad to part, And heart is met by throbbing heart, Oh bitter, bitter is the smart Of those who bid Farewell When Hope is chidden, That fain of bliss would tell, And love forbidden In the breast to dwell; When fettered by viewless chain, We turn, and gaze, and turn again; Ohl death were mercy to the pain Of those who bid Farewell.

 '.This opinion may be erroneous; hope 1t IS so l; but be that as it may, no injury can arise from an investigation of its truth
 :'Ifsan inference has been drawn, from any re- mark of mine, that it was in contemplation to get up whig candidate, other than Mir.

 'fCincianoti June 10, ls43."
 The Commercial still further remarks up- on the growing influence of the abolitionists, and of the utter helplessness of the whig candidate without securing their aid, in the following strain:
 ssLet the reader mark well the import of the whole letter. Let him ponder on the passages which we have marked in italics. Those passages reveal the secret of our troubles for as Judge Burnet speaks of Ohio and of the marptot influence of the aboli- tionists so will every intelligent whig, who does moi wilfully shut his eyes to the true state of the case who does not, like the silly ostrich, thrust his head into the sand-speak in regard to the effect of thei votes in every free State of the Union."
 This is a common-sense view of the mat ter; and 1t IS true that the candidate of the whig party, to succeed, must be the favoritt candidate of the abolitionists; and we repeat ''this conviction is gaming ground,o ever among those who affect so much sensitive ness about setting aside MT. Clay.
 A few reflections wilLno be out of place During the last year, the whig party have been anticipating great advantages from con- trasting their harmony with divisions among democrats, arising from the number of Pre- sidential aspirants among the democratic party. But the democratic press can now retort their compliment. Wings will fine the fever raging in their own house. Their exertions, as well as their charity, will be needed at home, in pouring oil upon the troubled waters. Mclean and Scott may be pitted against Clay. The late gloomy re- verses of the whig party are calling up the old views of availability; and, as the wire workers and the wire-pullers belong to this section, it is not improbable that they may succeed; for it is well said that s.the battle i. not always to the strong.' .4lb.

IHe Sandwich ISldRds.-The Boston At las contains letter from Kameahmehah, King of the Sandwich Islands, complaining of the recent outrage upon his sovereignty, | by the British commander The following are the closing paragraphs:
 "Placed in difficulties, from which we could not extricate ourselves with honor and justice, compelled to immediate decision, and threatened with hostilities, we have, by the advice and consent of our chiefs, signed, with heavy heart and many tears, the deed of provisional cession, and have permitted the British flag to be planted in all our islands, but under the guns of frigate, and at the point of the bayonet.
 Relying on the magnanimity and firmness ot the United States, we appeal to the Presi- dent, to interpose the high influence of the United States with the Court of England, to grant us an impartial hearing, and procure us justice, to induce II. B. RI. to withdraw from the sovereignty of these islands, and leave us, as we have been, an independent Govern- ment supported in our rights.
 We have labored to eivilize and improve our islands. We have adopted the laws of the United States, and of Britain We have appointed upright and capable American citi- zens and British subjects to offices of trust and responsibility, ill order that their func- tions might be exercised with energy and fidelity. We have adopted all suggestions which would tend to put the commercial in- tercourse of American citizens with us upon the best footing, We have been gratifed with the large and increasing number of American residents. We confidently appeal to the Americans on these islands, engaged Tn mercantile and commercial pursuits, to testify to the honesty of our intentions, and our capabilities for self-government; and we Acknowledge them to have been the most consistent and efficient supporters of our Government.
 We look to the United States, with pecu- lar feelings of respect and gratitude. To the benevolence and enterprise of that great people, we owe the introduction of the Christian religion-of civilization and laws -of commerce and agriculture-and tlre large and respectable number of our foreign residents.
 We ask of you to secure and preserve tht great interests common to Us and you, ant arrest the course of events so preludlclal tt both; and we shall never cease to be grate ful for your aid.

 Extracts from the Address to the democra tic party of Georgia
 s'The questions which now divide the two great parties of the country are, the proposed modification of the veto-to us, its virtual abolition; the establishment of United States Bank and the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands
 The adjustment of the tariff may be re- garded as leading question, because, being sectional in its character, 1t is more difficult in its settlement, and more dangerous in its results. To this, then, we would first cal your attention. Our country embraces every variety of climate and of soil-almost every production of nature-and all the varied oc- equations of civilized man; and 1t was the crowning glory of the illustrious fathers O l the Revolution, that thy had given to theil posterity government, whose benign inhu- ence would foster and cherish, and protec these various interests, and bind them all il one harmonious Union. Such is the charac- ter of our Constitution; and a strict adher- ence to its provisions is all that IS necessary to insure to us prosperity at home, respect from abroad, and a Union perpetual as time
 To support our general Government, duties upon imports are properly regarded as the most equitable, and the least burdensome mode by which taxes may be imposed. Ii is indirect taxation, and, if judiciously laid falls with equal force on all classes of the ! community. And, we may add, that a tariff thuS eOnstitutad neceSsarily affords incident al protection to the great manufacturing in- terests of the country. To such tariff we have no objection, and have an abididing con fidence, if the South is but true to herself that the tariff will be so adjusted as to pro- duce a revenue necessary for an economical administration of the Government, and, d the same time, by it's perntanency, give the only protection which can constitutionally be given to the manufacturers of the Nortl and West.''

" that declaration that he would not be a eau

must recolect that it was impossible for him TO
approve Of an old fashioned National Bank !;
that, desiring to act with the Wings as far as be
could do, he was willing to approve of any bill
which, in his opinion, did not violate the Con-
stitulion, and that, wben he first came into Of

Of his Cabinet pledged themselves to sustain

Der that Mr.. Tyler had been Democrat always,
that he had exerted his influence TO defeat the
reelection Of Mr.. Van Buren, in opposition to

obvious to every one that it was impossible for
