Their in the councils of war or in The coun-
ellis of peace, at tho head Of an army or

ing of Washington, who deprecated re-
sort tc paper money by the Legislature of

the opinions Of General Jackson, as deri.
we'd from his public conduct and writings
in relation 10 the subject, and as distinctly
expressed in his letter to Moses Dawson,
Esq, that neither the Suites nor the Unit
ed States "had the constitutional powcrto
charter banks of paper issuos"-tbat tho
plan alluded TO in his message was spe.
Gle bank " OF deposit and exchange only
that he was, and ever had been, opposed
$50 all kinds of government paper curron-
cy"--that il was tone of the greatest hum
bugs ever attempted to be imposed upon
n people, that there is not specie enough
in the world to answer all The necessary
wants of tho community and that ga
national paper currency is great curse
10 any people, and particular curse TO tho
labor of counlry'-are deserving tho
respectful consideration Of the people of
the United States and that the example

like the ScyIla of defeat on The one hand,
and the Charybdic gulf Of disunon on tho
other, Texas ought to be annexed to the

Of one Of the great battles that establish

again expressing our Indignation al tho
outrageous wrongs and expressions, and
our sympathy for the patriotic suiIurings

of the divine right Of kings, and glorious
martyr to the glorious right Of revolution.
"Many politicians Of our time are in the
habit of laying it down as n selEeydent
proposition, that no people ought to be
free until they are fit 10 use their freedom.
Tho maxim is worthy Of the fool il the
old story, who resolved not 10 20 into the
water until he had learnt TO swim. lf
men are to wait for liberty till they become
wise and good in thraldom, they may in
deed wait forever" Hdcdutey
ONDERDoHK This IS tho name of
bishop Of the Episcopal Church, whose
trial on sundry grave charges, has for Sc
veral weeks excited much interest among
all classes in New York, and has parlicu-

for many years, of embracing the sisters
Of tho Episcopal Church, Of kissing mems
wives, Of caressing young virgins and el.
DERBY spinsters, in an cminenily patri.
archal and afectionate manner. II APP

bishops is, whether the tender saluiations
Of the accused were the aGectionale re-
suits Of Cody disposition, or the impas.
stoned outpOurings Of wilder emotions ?
We suppose the sentence Of inquisifion
will shortly no mado ouhlir The evi
