This is the cheapest paper ever Of

shall be under the necessity, in all cases,
of receiving the money in advaace.
The approaching campaign is of the
Utmost importance to the safety, liber-
ty, and welfare of this government and
people.-The old bargain and bargain
ers of lS24-5, between Adams and
Clay, must all come under review. and
the people must again decide that ques-
ton, and the thousand other questions
now connected with that black and
corrupt act, such as an assumption OF
State debts, as decided upon by the
Maryland elections, and resolution
Just introduced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature-a U. S. Bank. &c. &c.
The times demand that every man
should do his duty--that every repub-
lican should be at his post-that truth
should be scattered wherever error is
found. We issue our Campaign Paper
to meet the wants of the numerous
CLUBS that have desired information
on the subject.
Democrats! let us at once go to

this Union depends on your exertions
our soil, the soil Of Oregon, is in dan.

Councils. Throw aside all minor ques.
tions, and stand forth for your coun.
try.

LIES LESSON SHOULD BE.
BY b. HALLEcx.

Forget not--regret not
The joys that have fled,
Though sweeter and feeter
Than fresh odors shed
From the jessamine's cup,
Or the bright challice hid
From the gaze of the sun
Meath the violet's lid.
Forget not-regret not;
Hope ever should burn
The incense Of love
In her funera! urn;
Shedding glory and light
Ger the gems Of the past
BY time on the alter
Of memory cast.
Forget not--regret not;
Why should we regret,
While one star remains
That another has set?
And though all have faded,
Others brighter by far,
Through the gloom may arise
Than one once-worship'd star
Forget not--regret not;
Lies lesson should be
Like the stars that are hung
Ger the limilless sea,
A guide to our path,
Bright links of the chain,
To lead us and bind us
To virtue again.

The whig party elected Mr. Tyler-gave him
all the powers he possesses to do mischief-set him
the first example of "tratorism" by abandoning
the prOnises" of 1910 which gave them ascen-
dency-and now thathe has done about as much
mischief in one way to the country, as they would
have undoubt tedly done, but for Providential in
reference, in another, they are calling upon the
democratic members of Congress to impeach him.

the amount OF Issues was much less than may be
supposed. Suppose demand TO arise for increased
issues the banker would have nothing 10 do but 10
sell his securities and 10 demand bank notes from
the Babk OF England instead Of his own. The re-
suit would be that, for portion he would have 10
give security, and for email portion only; bat it
will be in the power OF any banker 10 demand an
extra supply from the Bank OF England. Sir, while
restrict issues and prevent the establishment OF
new banks Of issue, so, on the other hand, we IN
tend 10 facilitate the business OF banking. JOINT
stock banks mplain that they have not al pre-
sent the privilege OF suing and beng sued. Now
there are TWO descriptions Of Iolntstock banks

we are 10 promote and encourage the system OF

Is thrown IN the way-by Joint-sock banks that
intend TO restrict them. 1t is said that the
places are uncertain where the notes to be paid.
We propose 10 remedy this, and that he places
shall be known where the notes are issued. Some
parties object that they should be bound by the un-
authorized acts of others. Now 1t is great
principle si the law of parliament that the acts of
one partner bind the whole concern. That is Just
principle IN respect to limited firm or partnership
But for Joint-stock bank, where there may be a
