cannot refrain from saying, that have received
your communication with feelings OF no ordinary cha
racter. An expression of opinion so imposing Us that
which you have been deputed 10 convey 10 u,e com
ing from any portion Of my political associates could
not fail, at any time, TO excite my p!oioura graft
Jude There are circumstances, however, attending
this which seem 10 deserve particular notice al
my hands
My relations with the Democracy @. your great
State have been in respects peculiar they sus-
tanned by their confidence and support, ., mos,

honored and checred by their good will when 1t was
not in their power to render II effective, aud their sup

occasion oppotune, and possibly tic last that may
occur, TO assure them, that neither hen nor at any
other time during the whole course OF my political fe
have ever for moment, doubted their dlspos ton t.
do mo ample justice Although they dissenied from
my nomination, felt assured that they actoateG
by motives which were entitled 10 my entire respect -
have therefore, never ceased To cherish, IN common
with The friends Of our cause throughout The Union
towards the unconquerabe, aud The fullest expert

Yet these not the only considerations which give
interest TO The proceedings which you have Transmitted
10 me- |, is known I, eli, and by more cheer
fully admitted than BY myself that 4 args majority Of
our political friends in Penns, ivana preferred that
the honor, which thse whan you represent have now

nal price, which must be the result il a
re aPPrasement is ordered2 A motion
has been made to reconsider the vote ta-
ken on This question, and a desperate
effort is making by the Senators 10 the
North west to carry it.
The retrencbment bill still sleeps in
the hands Of the committee TO whom it
was referred, II is said that it will be
reported back early in the next week;
and Inat 1t will finally be acted upon.
What is to bo It's fate, is yet TO be de-
veIoPed by the further action OF those
who are its keepers.
The currency projects are ell in sta tu
quo A new bill has been introduced in
the House, by Mr.. WiIIoz. of Wayne
county, asking 10 have the restrictions re
moved that The law Of last winter placed
the Wooster bank under. The bill IS
carefully and ingen ousiy framed by
Lake, the old President and would seem
10 mean individual liability, but in fact
means nothing al all, and provides no
security at all. Whether the Bank is
entirely solvent, or whether it will re-
quire some favorable legis alton TO keep
It above wafer, is matter OF specula-
tion! 1t has a circulation entirely 100
large for bank Of its capital By its
last report, its circulation was four hun.
dred and fifty thousand dollars. The
stock Of this bank is owned by few in
diViduals; and lhey are its principal bor'
rowers II the individual liability was
incorporated, it would be no security
unless the stock holders were restricted
in the amount Of their loans, and also
their circulation proportioned 10 the n
mount Of specie in their vaults. This
bill cannot get through the House with
out being guarded and the public suffi-
GENTLY projected.
The bill creating the new county Of
Wiandott passed the house this morning,
bv q vote Of As TO 25, and will | think
pass the Senate; but am inclined TO
the opinion that no other county will be
erected ihe present session.
The Small Por is still in this city; a
few new cases have appeared within the
last Two or three days.
The apporlonment bill has not yet
reached either House. The committee
have trouble in agreeing. Mr., Disney
wants to go to the United States Senate,
and he cannot get there by a fair sppor'
tionment. Hence the necessity Of an
unfair one.
