 him of the public dstress-the manufacturers ruined-the eagles shrouded in crape, which were borne at the head of twenty thousand men
 into Independence Square. He heard us all.
 We begged him to leave the deposits where they were, to uphold the great bank in Phia- delphia. Still he did not say word. At last one of our members more fiery than the rest intmated that if the bank was crushed, rebel lion might follow. Then the old man rose. l can see him yet.

With the people at my back, whom your gold can neither buy nor awe, I will swing you up around the Capitol-each one of you--on a gbbet as high as Haman's" "When I think" says the author, "of that one man standing there at Washington, battling with all the powers ofbank and panic combined, betrayed by those in whom he trusted, assailed by all that the snake of malice could hiss, or tbe fiend of falsehood howll-.when I think of that one man placing his back against the rock and folding his arms for the blow, while utterins his VOW, "l will not swerve one inch from the course have taken,"-I must confess that the records of Rome-nay, the proudest days ot Cromwell or apoleon-cannot furnish an n- stance of a will like tlat of Andrew Jackson, when he placed life and soul and fame on the hazard of die for the peoples welfare"

"Now, sir, would like to know whether there is any difference of opinion betw cen the honorable gentleman from Massachuset ts. GMr Banks and the honorable gentlematn from Pennsylvania Mr. Fuller] on this particular question? If l understand the position of the former gentleman, he takes no stronger ground than does the gentleman from Penns ylvania.- And yet our friends from the south, who pre- tend that we are sectional in our principles, and that between us there is an impossible gulf constantly united in casting their votes for my colleague, Mr. Fuller who stards upon the resolution have read. Can they, with any consistency, cast their votes fer him? Why can they as we'll not cast their votes.for the gen. tleman from Massachusetts, [ldr. Banksl who goes not one step further? The position of these gentlemen, MT. Banks and MT. Fuller being identical and there being perfect unani- mity of sentiment between them as under. stand it, 1 should like to know upon whom the responsibility of the failure to organize the House rests? It is with tn ose gentlemen who pretend to be-and do inot doubt of their feeling so-eminently national, but who unfor- tunately throw away their votes upon candi- date who stands upon platform as intensely sectional as any man coui i'd desire."
 Thus we have the evidence of two of MT. Fuller's colleagues, MT. Campbell, Know Nothing, and MT. Barclay, ademocrat, concur ring in the fact that Mir. Fuller is an anti M braska man, occupying the same position as Mr. Banks the candidate of the abolitionists.
 Yet the southern Know Nothings are voting for Mr. Fuller and calling upon the administra- ton democrats to do so tool We should think after all of this accumulated testimony, the southern people ought to be undeceived as to the true aims and purposes of the Know Noth-
