Correspondence Of the (Aia) Tribune.
Brunswick COUNTY, Va, Sept Cd, IS43.
Gentlemen: Since leaving Mobile. I
have travelled great deal-making the
semi-crcuit of the Unon--and, as Med.
ley says in the play, have no hesitation
in saying that The popularity Of Mr.. Cal
houn is increasing every day. Every day
his chances for success before the conven-
ton are Frightening, and if it were not for
The very unfair means employed by the
Van Buren, portion of the press, there
would he but little doubt of his perfect sue
cess before the convention The Rich.
mond Enquirer takes the lead (as you of
course see) in this crusade against MIR.
Calhoun, and verify believe Mr.. Ritchio
will consider it good cause to abandon the
party, ii, BY any chance Mr.. Calhoun
should become the choice of the conven-
ton. am happy to say, however, that
although Ritchie's with some is political
gospel. yet that there are many quite as
orthodox in their democratic notions as he
is, and who have been distinguished Van

scout the idea OF Mr.. Van Buren's nomip-
aIion-who boldly declare their unaltera-
lie determination TO sustain MIR. Calhoun.
have travelled through IL counties,
and have attended large meetings-heard
the subject broadly canvassed, and can
say with perfect assurance of propriety
that Mr.. Calhoun's chance in Virginia, is
infinitely better than that of any other
candidate-especially better than Van
Buren's.
There is hardly a man 10 be found, al
though he may favor Mr.. Van Buren,, but
who will admit that there are great obsta.

more than a matter of form. 1t is doubtful
even that Gen. Harrison was bank man
but concedng that he was, they thought tho
vice president would never have the con
troll of the veto, and therefore 1t did no
matter what his opinions were as TO bank
But by the death OF the president, the vice
president was placed in an antagonist po-
cotton to his party. If Gen. Harrison haC
lived and had approved the charter of the
bank, or vetoed it, Mr.. Tyler would have
been high in favor with his qnondam
friends. AS 10 his being traitor, we can.
not look upon the charge as having any
foundation. The wings were traitors to
themselves when they nominated him, in
stead of selecting man OF well known
bank principles.
The democrats have still less to COM
plain of. He was elected as Il wing, and
they did not vote for him, and, therefore.
they should have expected nothing from
him; yet, he has rendered very consdera-
bic service to the cause, by his vetoes Of
the bank, and by defeating the tariff bill
when it contained the distribution clause.
From a political opponent, this was far
more t,an they should have looked for, or
could have expected, from one who was G.
lected as a whg.T 1t is true he approved
some measures to which they were oppo-
sed, but men ere this, in the same station,
have approved of all the measures against
which the democrats were at war, without
mourning half the denunciation which The
president has received from them. Nor
do we sec that that portion of the southern
wings who arc opposed to national bank
as they of Georgia and number OF those
in North Carolina are-have any special
ground Of complaint, yet we are not IN
formed that they are in any gree less
displeascd with his administration than
any Of the rest. Ana this has even not
been confined to the limits of the United
States. Lord Brougham, in a speech IN
the British House of LORDS, catching The
spirit of the American press, twits The sac
cdental president" with his adSentlilous
elevation.
The editor of the Madisonian too, has
been compimcnted with liberal share Of
public notice from all parties, on account
of his connection with the president. Dem
ocrats and Wings, Clay men, and Van Bu-
rem men, Editors and Congressmen, have
all considered John Jones legitimate sub.
ect for denuncIalory comment. Even
neutraIs in politics, when much in want
of paragraph, endeavor to exc out
stale wilicsm with John Jones Of the Ma
disonian. The gentleman bears an I'M
fortunate name. In an enumeration OF
saints days" in "Poor Robins Almanac
for l733," there is one-the 22d OF Octo-
aforementioned as heing sacred to John
Jones, who, according TO one party died a
martyr, and according to the other in the
words of the author, "was justly executed
for plotting treason and rebellion" II
the newspaper articles of the present day
should survive a century, postcrily mi1ht
believe that the editor of tue Madlsonlan
was the veritable saint. But, ii in these
saintless days, he should not be thought
worthy of canonizing. he, at least stands
a chance for the dignity of martyrdom.

From the Georgia Conslitutionalisl.

The wings, in their speeches and papers,
are quoting with much complacency the
writings of Gen. Washington, Mr.. Madi-
son, and other distinguished citizens, in
supper, of national bank. As they mis-.
represent the expressions Of those eminent
and pure patriots, we beg leave to submit
to our readers, the following extracts from
undoubted documents:
Extract of a letter from Mr.. Jefferson 10
Mr.. Ggatin, dated December, 1903.
"This institution is one of The most
deadly hostility existing against the prin-
ciplcs and form Of our constitution. The
nation IS, at this time, 50 strong ana uni
ted in i S sentiments, that it cannot he sha,
ken at this moment Bat suppose series
of untOward events should occur, sufficient
to bring into doubt tho competency Of a
republican government 10 meet a crisis of
great danger, or to unhinge the confidence
Of the people in the public funclonanes;
an institution like this, penetrating by its
branches every part of the Union, acting
by command, and in phalanx, may, in ID
critical moment, upset the government"
81 deem no government safe, which is
under the vassaldge of any sell. constituted
authority, or any other authority than that
of the nation or its public Gunc'ionaries. "
"What an obstruction could not this
bank, with all its branchs, be in time of
wa? it might dictate to US the peace we
should accept or withdraw Its aids"
4
"Ought we, then, to give further growth
10 an lnstItutl N 50 powerful, so hostile?
THAT it is so hostile, we
know: first, from ID know ledge of the prin
ciples Of the persons composing the body
OF the directors in every bank, principal
OF branch, and those of most of the stock
holders; secondly, from their opposition
to the measures aud principles of the gov
eminent, and to the election of those
friendly to them; thirdly, from the SEMI.
ments of the newspapers they sup
port"
OPINION OF GEO. WASHINGTON.
81 do not scruple to declare that if had
a voice in your legislature, (Mary land,) it
would have been gwen decidedly against
paper emission, upon The principles of
its utility as a representative, and the ne
cessiiy of it as a medium. To assign
reasons for this opinion would be as unne
cessary as tedious. The ground has been
SO often lrod, that place hardly remains
untouched. In word, the necessity arr
sing from want of specie is represented
as greater Than it really is. lcoutend that
it is by The substance not Ivy the shddor
of thing we are to be benefited. The
wisdom Of man. in my hunb opinion,
cannot at this time, devise plan by which
the credit of paper money would be long
supported.
San evil equally great is the door it i'm
mediatcly opens for speculation; by which
the least designing, and perhaps most
valuable portion OF the community are
preyed upon by the more knowing and
crafty spectators"

CHE STANDETH AT THE DOOR
AND KNOCKETH."

BY REV. ARTHUR CLEVELAND COKE.
In the silent midnight watches,
List--thy bosom door!
How it knocketh, knocketh, knocketh-
Knocketh evermore!
Say not its thy pulses beating:
IT is thy heart Of sin;
'Tis thy Saviour knocks, and crieth
"Rise and let me in"
Death looks down with reckless footstep
To the hall and hut:
Think you Death will tarry knocking,
Where the door is shut'
Jesus wateth, waiteth, waiteth-
But the door is fast:
Grievcd, away the Saviour goeth;
Death breaks in at last.
Then It's time TO stand entreating
CHRIST 10 let thee in:
At the gate of Heaven beating,
Wailing for thy sin;
Nay! alas, thou guilty creature,
Hast thou then forgot?
Jesus waiteth long TO know thee,
Now HE KNOWS THEE NOT!

CONSTlTUTIONALITY OF A BANK.
OPINION OF JAMES MADISON.

"lhe power Ito incorporate bank) was
proposed to he vested in Congress, in The
original plan, reported by the committee
of the convention, among the enumeration
of the powers which now form the eighth
section of the first artice,-but that after
three days ardent debate on the subject,
in that body, the power was rejected and
stricken out, upon the principle that it was
a power improper to be vested in the gen.
eral government"
Independent Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1843-09-30
OPINION OF HUGH WHITE.

81 hold that, by the constitution Of the
United States Congress has no poper to
create bank, and having no power to
continue it beyond the period limited for
its termination.
"Much has been said Of the Presidents
(Jarkson) opinions upon the subject Of
banks, and his ideas respecting the dangers
to be unprecedented from the operations Of
this bank. He appears TO be maintaining
the same do 'trnes maintained by the re.
publican people of Pennsylvania in 1885,
1886, and 1887, and, as | verify believe,
the same doctrines intended TO be incor-
poraled into the constitution, and made
perpetual by it,"
