self 10 make the following statement:
"With regard to our own opinion of the particular
PROJECT condemned by the Committee of Ways and
Means, II viii be within the recollection Of read
ers that we have never at any time given to appro-
| baton or countenance.m
| If this were true, it would be the most favor

plan that we have seem for, during the last
sixteen years, there has not been a man or a
inca ure, supported by ,ha, print, that has not
failed, nor one opposed by ii that has not sue

Beginning as far back as Mr.. Adams's time,
we find the lntelligencer in favor of Mr. Craw-
ford, and Mr.. Adams consequently successful
over Mr.. Crawford then, supporting Mr..
Adams, Immediately defeated by Gen. Jackson,
whom II opposed.
II then took up Mr.. Clay, and continued to
| assist him 10 repeated defeats, up to the time of
the Harm ,burg Convention, where, maintaining
his cause, and opposing Gen. Harrison, he
nomination was so wisely bestowed upon that
departed patriot.
Gen. Harrison, by his lamented death. es-
capped the ruin which its friendship, then trans
ierred TO him, WAS doubtless preparing After
this event, it re-lransferred lis support 10 Mr..
Clay again, and nowNopposes Mr.. Tyhr, whose
prospects OF a Re election b, the People are be-
coming daily brighter, under It's adverse nGu-
ence, and continues its rifacimcnto" of friend
ship for Mr.. Clay, and that so successfully, that
all sensible men agree that he has not the sha-
dow Of a chance for an election to the Pr,si.
dency; and it will probably keep ON supporting
him, I'LL his warmest sdherents will be obliged
to give him up.
This much for men, now as for meas Ires.
The lnteligencer has advocated the establish.
menl of an United States Bank, to its final de-
str Iclion, and has since persisted in recon-
mendlng It's establishment, till every man in
the country excepting lew Rayners and Bots'
admits the utter impossbli,y Of such mca-
sure.
During the early part Of last session The Intel
li9cncer was loud and earnest in its calls upon
Congress for tie Passage Of Tariff bill, and
urged the matter so warmly that, to the surprise
OF all, bill passed b, majority Of one.
Il now is so strongly in favor Of the Bankrupt
law, that its repeal seems inevitable
To Judge then Of the fatcd measure. by the
opinions Of the lnlcllgencer on them, the Elk
| chequer seems IN prosperous way.
And it is remarkable that the Intelligence
now, for the first time, hints an unlsvurabIe
impression as to the bill, just as the People.
generally, are beginning to come cut in its sup.
port
We say for the fret time, aud We defy Mr..
Gales to turn TO his files Of last year, and look
them through, and put his finger on a single pa
ragrsph, on this subject, not favorable 10 the
Secretary of The Treasury's project, or one OF
the notifications of IT, by the committees Of the
House and Senate.
During all that session he was so str, uuous
in its praise that nobody would touch it and
nov, as he begins to oppose it, the People seem
TO be so moving as to insure its final adoplion.
We have only to express our hope that his
desirable opposition may be continued, and could
we but do a, much for lis adoption, by writing
Tor It, as he will BY writing against il, we
should think ourselves entitled to the thanks of
the country
But he repulsive power Of the Inielgencer !.

time, and oppose Mr.. Clay aud National Bank.
