HE GAZETTE: B* EDGAR SNOWDEN. Terms: Bally paper $8 per annum. Country paper 5 per annum. The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates. MR. WEBSTER’S REMARKS Made in the Senate on Monday. Mr. Webster presented to the Senate a scries •f Resolutions, adopted at a numerous meeting of the citizens of Boston, without distinction of party, held at Faneuil Hall, to consider the state of the Currency and Finances of the country. The Resolutions having been read— Mr. Wcbster said, he wished to bear unequi vocal and decided testimony to the respectabi lity, intelligence, and disinterestedness, of the long list of gentlemen at whose instance this meeting was assembled. The meeting, said Mr W., was connected with no party purpose whatever. It had an object more sober, more cogent, more interesting to the whole communi ty "than mere party questions. The Senate will perceive, in the tone of these resolutions, no in tention to exaggerate or inflame; no disposition to get up excitement or to spread alarm. I hope the restrained and serious manner, the moderation of .temper, and the exemplary can dor, of these resolutions, in connexion*with the plain truths which they contain, will give them just weight with the Sedate. I assure you, sir, the members, composing this meeting, were j neither capitalists, nor speculators, nor alarmists. They are merchants, traders, mechanics, arti-1 zans, and others, engaged in the active business pf life. They are of the muscular portion of j society; and they desire to lay before Congress i an evil, which they feel to press sorely on their j occupations, their earnings, their labor, and j their property; and to express their conscien tious conviction of the causes of that evil. If intelligence, if pure intention, if deep and wide spread connexion with business, in its various branches, if thorough practical knowledge and experience—if inseparable union between their own prosperity and the prosperity of the whole country, auuiun^c men siTVy a right to be heard, the sentiments of this meet ing ought to make an impression. For one, sir, I entirely concur in all their opinions. I adopt their fourteen first resolutions, without alteration or qualification, as setting forth truly the pre sent state of things, stating truly its causes, and pointing to the true remedy. Mr. President, now that l am speaking, I will use the opportunity to say a few words, which I intended to say, in the course of the morning, on the coming up of the resolution which now lies on the table; but which are as applicable to this occasion, as to that. An opportunity may, perhaps, be hereafter af forded me, of discussing the reasons given by the* Secretary, for the very important measure, adopted by him, in removing the deposites.— But as I know not how near that time may be, I desire, in the mean while, to make my opinions known, without reserve, on the present state of the country. Without intending to discuss any thing at present, I feel it my duty, nevertheless, to let my sentiments and my convictions be un derstood. In the first place, then, sir, I agree with those who think that there is a severe pres sure in the money market, and very serious em barrassment feit in all branches of the national industry. I think this is not local, but general; general, at feast, over every part of the coun try, where the cause has yet began to operate, and sure to become, not only general, but uni versal, as the operation of the cause shall spread. If proofs were wanted, in addition to all that is told us by those who-know, the high rate of in terest, now at 12 per cent., or higher, where it was hardly 6, last September; the depression of all stocks, some ten, some twenty, some thirty per cent.; and the low prices of commodities, are proofs abundantly sufficient to shew the ex istence of the pressure. But, sir, labor—that most extensive of all interests—American ma nual labor—feels, or will feel, the shock more sensibly, far more sensibly, than capital or pro perty of any kind. Public works have stopped, or must stop; great private undertakings, em ploying many hands, have ceased, and others must cease. A great lowering of the rates of wages, as well as a depreciation^ property, is the inevitable consequence of causes now in full operation. Serious embarrassments in all branches of business do certainly exist. I am of opinion, therefore, that there is un doubtedly a very severe pressure on the com munity, which Congress ought to relieve if it can; and that this pressure is not an instance of the ordinary re-aciion, or the ebb’ng and flow ing of commercial affairs; but is an extraordi nary case, produced by an extraordinary cause. In the next place, sir, I agree entirely with the 11th Boston resolution, as to the causes of this embarrassment. We were in a state of high ry branch of business, and especially manufac turing, was pushed far, and the credit, as well as the capital of the country employed to near its utmost limits. In this state of things, some de gree of overtrading doubtless took place, which, however, if nothing etee had occurred, would have been seasonably corrected by the ordina ry and necessary operation of things. Button this palmy state of things, the late measure of the Secretary fell, and has acted on it with pow erful and lamentable efFect. And l think, sir, that such a cause is entirely adequate to produce the efFect; that it is wholly natural; and that it ought to have been foreseen that it would produce such efFect. Those must have looked at the surface of things only, as it seems to me, who thought otherwise; and who expected that such an operation could be gone through with, without .producing a very serious shock. The Treasury, in a very short time, has with drawn from the Bank 8,000,000 dollars, within a fraction. This call, of course, the Bank has been obliged to provide for, and could not pro vide for without more or less inconvenience to the public. The mere withdrawing of so large a sum from hands actually holding and using i! and the transferring of it, through the Bank col lecting, and through another Bank loaning it, il it can Joan it, into other hands is, itself an ope ration, which, if conducted suddenly, must pro duce considerable inconvenience. And this is all that the Secretary seems to have anticipated But this is not the one-hundredth part of the whole evil. The great evil arises from the ne\* attitude in which the Government places itsel; towards the Bank. Every thing is in a false po sition. The Government, the Bank of the U. S the State Banks, are all out of place. They an •v 9 |B 4 r deranged, and separated, and jostling against each other Instead of utility, reliance, and mu tual succor, relations of jealousy of distrust, of hostility even, are springing up between hese narties All act on the defensive,-each looks out for itself;—and the public interest is crushed between the upper and nether millstone. All this should have been fore_scen. It is idle to say that these evils might have been prevented by the Bank, if it had exerted itself to prevent them. That is mere matter of opinion; it may be true, or it may not; but it was the business of those who proposed the removal of the Deposites, to ask themselves how it was probable the Bank would act, when they should attack it, assail its credit, and allege the violation by it of its char ter; and thus compel it to take an attitude, at least, of stern defence. The community have certainly a right to hold those answerable, who have unnecessarily got into this quarrel with t le Bank, in the course of the controversy, be what it may. r In my opinion, sir, the great source of the e\ U is the shock which the measure has given to confidence in the commercial world. 1lie C1 c~ dit of the whole system of the currency of the country seems shaken. The State Banks have lost credit, and lost confidence. They have suffered vastly more than the Bank of the Unit ed States itself, at which the blow was aimed. The derangement of internal exchanges is one of the most disastrous consequences ol the mea sure. -By the origin of its charter, by its un questioned solidity, by the fact that it was at home every where, and in perfect credit every where, the Bank of the United States accom plished the internal exchanges of the country with vast facility, and at an unprecedented cheap rate. The State banks can nevei accom plish this; for the reason given in the Boston Resolutions, they cannot act with the same con cert, the same identity of purpose. Look at the Prices Current, and seethe change in the value of the notes of distant banks in the great cities. Look ai the depression of the stocks of the State banks, deposite banks and all. Look at what must happen the moment the Bank of the Unit ed States, in its process of winding up, or to meet any other crisis, shall cease to buy domestic bills, especially in the Southern, Southwestern, and Western markets. Can any man doubt what would be the state of exchange when that takes place? or can any one doubt its necessa ry effect on the price of produce? The Bank has purchased bills to the amount of sixty mil lions a year, as appears by documents, hereto fore laid before the Senate. A great portion of these, no doubt, was purchased in the South and West, against shipments of the great sta pies of those quarters of the country. W lien the Bank shall cease to buy, as it must cease, consequences cannot but be felt, much severer even than those now experienced. This is in evitable. But, sir, 1 go no tarther into particu lar statements. My opinion. I repeat, is, that the present distress is immediately occasioned, beyond all doubt, by the removal of the depo sites; and that just such consequences might have been, and ought to have been foreseen from that measure, as we do now perceive and feel around us. Sir, I do not believe, nevertheless, that these consequences were foreseen. With such fore sight, the deposites, I think, would not have been touched. The measure has operated more deep ly and more widely, than was expected. W e all may find proof of this, in the conversations of every hour. No one, who seeks to acquaint himself with the opinions of men, in and out of Congress, can doubt that, if the act were now to be done, it would receive very little encour agement or support. Being of opinion that the removal of the.de posites has produced the pressure, as its imme diate effect, not so much by withdrawing a large sum of money, as bv alarming the confidence of the community r by breaking in on the well-ad justed relations of the Government and the Bank, I agree aeain, with the Boston Resolu tions, that the natural remedy is a restoration of the relation in which the Bank has heretofore stood to Government. I agree, sir, that this question ought to be settled, and to be settled soon. And yet, if it be decided that the present state of things shall ex ist—if it be the determination of Congress to do nothingin order to put an end to the unnatural, distrustful, half belligerent, present condition of the Government and the Bank, I do not look for any great relief to the community, or any ear ly quieting of the public agitation. On the con trary, 1 expect increased difficulty, and increas ed disquiet. The public moneys are now out of the Bank of the United States. There is no law regula ting their custody, or fixing their place. They are at the disposal of the Secretary of the Trea sury, to be kept where he pleases, as he pleases, aud places of their custoday to be changed as often as he pleases. Now, sir, 1 do not think this is a state of things in which the country is likely to acquiesce. Mr. President, the restoration of the deposi tes is a question distinct and by itself. It does not necessarily involve any other question. It stands clear of all controversy and all opinion about re-chartering the Bunk, or creating any .new Bank. But I wish, nevertheless, sir, to say a few words of a bearing somewhat beyond that ques tion. Being or opinion that the country is not likely to be satisfied with the present state of things, I have looked earnestly for the sugges tion of some prospective measure—some sys tem to be adopted as the future policy of the country. Where are the public moneys here after to be kept? In what currency is the reve nue hereafter to be collected? What is to take the place of the Bank in our general currency system? How are we to preserve a uniform currency, a uniform measure of the value of property, and the value of labor, a uniform me dium of exchange and of payments? How are we to exercise that salutary control over the national currency, which it was the unques tionable purpose of the Constitution to devolve on Congress? These, sir, appear to me to be the momentous questions before us, and which we connot long keep out of view. In this question, every man in the community, who either has a dollar, or expects to earn one, has a direct interest. Now, sir, I have heard but four suggestions or opinions, as to what may hereafter be expec ted or attempted. The first is, that things will remain as they are i —the Bank be suffered to expire, no new Bank created, and the whole" subject left under the control of the Executive Department. 1 have already said, that I do not believe the country will ever acquiesce in this. The second suggestion is that which was made by the honorable member from Virginia, (Mr. Rives.) That honorable member pledges I himself to bring forward a proposition having for its object to do away with the paper system i altogether,and to return to an entire metallic cur r rency. i I do not expect, sir, that the honorable mem j ber will find much support in such an undertak ing. A mere gold and silver currency, and the entire abolition of paper, is not suited to the times. The idea has something a little too an tique, too Spartan,-in it; we might as well think of going to iron at once. If such a result a» thegentlenn.il hopes for, were even desirable, I retard its attainment as utterly impractica ble and hopeless. I lay that scheme, there %Vere tf”?heCnrsir?PtK-chartering of the present Bank'; and, lastly, there is the establish ment of a new Bank. The first of these receiv ed the sanction of the last Congress, but the measure was negatived by the President. The other, the creation of a new Bank, has not been brought forward in Congress but it has exci ted attention out of doors, and has been pro posed in some of the State Legislatures. I oo serve sir, that a proposition has been submitted lor consideration, by a very intelligent gentleman,in the Legislature of Massachusetts,recommending the establishment of a new Bank, with the fol lowing provisions! 1. The capital stock to be fifty millions of dollars. 1 ‘2. The Stockholders of the present United ‘States Bank to be permitted to subscribe an ‘amount equal to the stock they now hold. c3. Tlie United States to be stockholders to ‘the same extent they now are, and to appoint the same number of Directors. 4 The subscription to the remaining fifteen millions, to be distributed to the several States in proportion to federal numbers, or in some ‘other just and equal ratio; the instalments payable either in cash or in funded stock of the State, bearing interest at five per cent. 5. No Branch of the Bank to be established in any State, unless by permission of its Leg islature. 6. The Branches of the Bank established in i the several States, to be liable to taxation by 1 those States respectively, in the same manner, 1 and to the same extent only with their own ‘Banks. 7. Such States as may become subscribers to the stock, to have the right of appointing a certain number, not exceeding one-third, of i the Directors in the Branch of their own State. 8. Stock not subscribed fir under the forego ing provisions to be open to subscription by individual citizens.” A project, not altogether dissimilar, has been started in the Legislature ofPennsylvania. These proceedings show, at least, a conviction of the necessity of some Bank, created by Congress. Mr. President, on this subject I have no doubt whatever. I think a National Bank proper and necessary. I believe it to be the only practica ble remedy for the evils we feel, and the only AflTAnfnnl nrraiiKf flip UTPStPl’ PVlls wllicll we fear. Not, sir, that there is any magic in' the name of a Bank; nor that a National Bank works by any miracle, or mystery. But look ing to the state of things actually existing a round us—looking to the great number of State Banks already existing, not less than three hun dred and fifty, or four hundred—looking to the vast amount of paper issued by those Banks; and considering that,in the very nature of things this paper must be limited and local in its credit and1 in its circulation, I confess I see nothing but a well conducted National Institution, which is likely to afford any guard against excessive paper issues, or which can furnish a sound and uniform currency to every part of the United States. This, sir, is not only a question of fi nance, it not only respects the operations ot the Treasury, but it rises to the character of a high political question. It respects the currency, the actual money, the measure of value of all prop erty, and all labor, in the United States, if we needed not a dollar of money in the Treasury, it would still be our solemn and bounden duty to protect this great interest. It respects the exer cise of one of the greatest powers, beyond all doubt, conferred on Congress by the constitu tion. And I hardly know any thing less consis tent with our public duty and our high trust, nor any thing more likely to disturb the harmoni ous relations of the States, in all affairs of busi ness and life, than for Congress to abandon all care and control over the currency, and to throw the whole money system of the country into the hands of four-and-twenty State Legislatures. I am, then, sir, for a Bank; and am fully per suaded that to that measure the country must come at last. The question, then, is between the creation of a new Bank, and the re-chartering of the pre sent Bank; with modifications. I have already referred to the scheme for a new bank, proposed to the Legislature of Massachusetts by Mr. j White. Between such a new Bank as his pro positions would create, and a re-chartering of the present Bank, with modifications, there is no very wide, certainly no irreconciliable differ 1 ence. We cannot, however, create another j Bank before March, 1836. This is one reason for j preferring a continuance of the present. And, I treating the subject as a practical question, and looking to the state of opinion, and to the proha* bility of success, in either attempt, I incline to the opinion that the true course of policy is to propose a re-charter of the present Bank, with modifications. As to what these modifications should be, I i would only now observe, that while it may well j i hp inferred. from mv known sentiments, that 1 i should not myself deem any alterations in the charter, beyond those proposed by the bill of 1832, highly essential; yet it is a case, in which, I am aware, nothing can be effected for the good of the country, without making some approach es to unity of opinion. I think, therefore, that in the hope of accomplishing an object of so much importance, liberal confessions should be made. I lay out of the case all consideration of any especial claim, or any legal right of the pre-' sent stockholders, to a renewal of their charter. No such right can be pretended, doubtless none such is pretended. The stockholders must stand like other individuals, and their interest regarded so far, and so far only, as may be judged for the public good. Modifications of the present char ter, should, I think be prepared, such as may remove all reasonable grounds of jealousy, in all quarters; whether in States, in other institu tions, or in individuals. Such,' too, as may tend to reconcile the interests of the great city where the Bank is, with those of another great cit\'* and, in short, the question should be met with a sincere disposition to accomplish, by united and friendly counsels, a measure which shall allay fears, and promote confidence, at the same time that it secures to the country a sound credita ble, uniform currency; and to the Government a safe deposite for the public treasure, and-an important auxiliary in its financial operations. I i epeat, then, sir, that 1 am in favor of re newing the charter of the present Bank, with such alterations as may be expected to meet the general sense of the country. And now, Mr. President, to avoid all unfound ed infeiences, I wish to say, that these sugges tions are to be regarded as wholly my own.— They are made without the knowledge of the Bank, and with no understanding or concert with any of its friends. I have not understood, indeed, that the Bank itself proposes to apply, at pre sent. for a renewal of its charter. Whether it 1 does so or not, my suggestions “re connected with no such or any other purpose of the Bank. I take up the subject on public grounds purely and exclusively. And Sir, in order to repel all inferences ofano thersorL I wish to state, with equal distinctness, that I do not undertake to speak the sentiments of any individual, heretofore opposed to the Bank, or belonging to that class of public men, who have generally opposed it. 1 ?tate my own opinions; if others should concur in them, it will be only because they approve them, and will not be the result of any previous concert or under standing whatever. Finally, Mr. President, having stated my own opinions, 1 respectfully ask those who propose to continue the discussion now going on, relative to the Deposites, to let the country see their plan Jor the final settlement of the present difficulties. It they are against the Bank, and against all Banks, what do they propose? That the country will not be satisfied with the present state of things, seems to me certain. What state of things is to suc ceed it? To these questions, I desire to call, ear nestly, the attention of the Senate and of the country. T he occasion is critical; the interests at stake momentous; and, in my judgment, Con gress ought not to adjourn till it shall have pas sed some law, suitable to the exigency, and sa tisfactory to the country. _^ DR A WS TO-MORRO W Literature Lottery of the State of Delaware, Class No. 4 for 1934, Will be drawn in Wilmington on Thursday, January 23. 1 prize of $10,000 20 prizes of $1,000 1 do of 3^000 100 prizes of 100 Tickets $3 00; halves 150; quarters 0 75.

A man was found near the Washington j Bridge, yesterday morning, who had been ex- J posed to the severity of the previous night, and j died shortly after he was discovered, He was a stranger travelling north. A Coroner’s In quest was held on the deceased, who returned the following verdict, to wit* .i \ye of the Jury find that the deceased came to his death by exposure to the severity of the weather, on the night of the 20th January, 1834;” and that, from the name marked on the shirt found on the deceased, [who appears to be between the age of 50 and 60,] his name is F. G. Settle. A good pack and several articles of! clothing were found in his possession. BIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. mmi After an interval of four weeks, during which we had not received a word of news^from Eng land, the packet ship George Washington, Capt. Holdridge, arrived at New York on Saturday j evening, bringing London papers to Novem- j ber 25th, and Liverpool to the 26th, both in clusive. There is nothing from Portugal so late as i we have received direct. The Accounts from Spain continue to be fa vorable to the Queen. All was quiet in France. London, Nov. 23—Saturday evening—The Consol market throughout the morning was ex tremely languid, and bargains very limited, but near to the close of business sales to the amount of £65,000. were transacted at 82 3-4. Consols for the account left off at 87 3-4 to 7-8; Ex chequer-bills 40a?. to 4U. premium. Extensive Forgeries.—A principal topic of conversation in Dublin is the flight of John Scott Vandaleur, Esq., who is charged with forgeries to a large amount The Bank of England is said to be the principal sufferer in forged pow ers of attorneys. The Limerick branch banks are losers in £900; and some bankers in Dublin have sustained considerable loss. London, Nov. 24.—A rupture is reported to have just taken place between France and Swe den. Ambassadors have been reciprocally with drawn: the commercial intercourse between the two States will continue to be regulated by con sular agents, but diplomatic relations between the Courts of Paris and Stockholm have entire ly ceased. And why all this? we are asked.— Only on account of a play! Precious absurdity —and how delightfully striking! The King of Sweden required the King of the French to suspend the performance of Gus tave, ou le Bal Masque, at the French Opera, and the Camarde au Lit, at the Vaudeville; and because Louis Philippe refuses, offence is taken _a rupture ensues; Mon. de St. Simon is re called from Stockholm, and M. de Lowenheim, who happens to be absent, is ordered not to re turn to Paris. [communicated.] A handsome Hickory Broom was some weeks ago sent down by a gentleman in Shenandoah County, Va., to be presented'to Gen. Jackson. j It is still in this place, but, it is expected, will shortly be presented, by the hands of Major Jack Downing, to the President, who at the same time will hand in the following lines: Lines, on the presentation of a Hickory Broom to a distinguished personage.

MR. RIVES* SPEECH, On the Removal of the Deposites. Mr. RIVES rose, and said—Mr. President: During my connection with this honorable and enlightened body, I have always felt it better for me to appear in the capacity of a listener, than in that of a speaker. There*are questions and occasions, however, upon which an indivi dual must either speak, or suffer his silence to be misconstrued. Such, sir, are the circumstan ces under which I now address the Senate.— Sir, the subject which we are considering, is ad mitted, on all hands, to be one of the greatest importance. Much of the distress under which the country is said to be laboring, is attributed to it. I believe that distress to be considerably exaggerated, and, I trust, it will be of short du ration-still, of the fact, that there is distress and embarrassment in the community, at the present moment, I think there can be no doubt. U remains, sir, for us to investigate its nature, _ and armlir famnrlir Irk /Iiartrina this hiffll 1 of the United States. Sir, what have we seen within a few short months? The whole face of the commercial community changed; not, as we were told just now, by the bank standing still, but by its making a retrograde movement—thus producing that panic and distress, which is now so much complained of. Sir, it is vain to tell us, that all this has been caused by the removal of the deposites. Even the friends of the bank, have not asserted that this is the case.. The re moval of the deposites, sir, is no new occur rence. They are subject to removal at any time, and for many purposes. Will the honorable gentleman from South Ca rolina, who has alluded to this part of the sub jact, tell us that it has not yet happened that the deposites have been reduced to almost nothing? We are told by a document which is in the pos session of the Senate, that in March, .’33, when the protested bill came back from France, there were only $2,000 in the Treasury. Was not this a removal of the deposites? But was there any pressere on this occasion? No, sir; on the contrary, at that very moment the Bank was en gaged in enlarging its accommodations. It is in vain then to tell us, that the removal of the deposites has produced the present distress. Sir, an examination of the returns of the Bank must be perfectly conclusive in this respect. By the Secretary’s report it appears, that on the *st of August the deposites in the United States Bank amounted to seven millions of dollars; and that on the 1st of December five millions still re mained, leaving the whole* reduction or remov al at two-millions; while the curtailment by the Bank amounted to ten millions. Sir, some oth er cause then must be found for that curtail ment than-the removal of the deposites; and that other cause has been stated in another de partment of this legislature, by a gentleman, whose connection with the Bank gives to every thing he says an almost official importance. We are told by that gentleman, that it is not the removal of the money, but the doctrine with w’hich the removal is connected, that has pro duced the distress which at present prevails; the doctrine that the currency is to depend up on the State Banks; that government has said the people are to be separated from the Bank. And what is the object, sir, of the Bank? Its object is to demonstrate that this separation cannot be affected without producing distress, and involving the very existence of this people. This Sir, is the true motive of the curtailment. The question is then whether w’e are to yield to the direction of a Bank, acting under these principles, or w hether we are not. I will read Sir. an exhibit, showing the influ ence possessed by this immense institution.— Mr. Rives here read a statement of the business of the bank, snowing the amount of domestic bills purchased, collected, &c., and continued:— Thus, Sir, 341 millions is the amount of the operations of the bank, and can any gentleman look at this enormous interest thus possessed by the bank—at its monopoly of the whole circula tion, and at the manner in which it has mixed itself up with the interests of the country, with out feeling a deep sense of the danger of such an institution. It is impossible that such an in stitution should fail to exert an influence detri mental to freedom and the interest of the coun try. The true source of the evil then—of the present distress and pressure—is the existence of the bank. And how are we to remedy this evil? Are we to aid the power of the bank, and assist it to annoy us further? Sir, what will be the effect of restoring the deposites? I wish to consider this subject practically. Will it not lead to a renewal of this institution by which we now suffer? Why are we to restore the deposites if the bank charter expires in two years. If we yield to this bank now—if we suet unab now, how shall we resist the still greater pressure which i will be made upon us when it finally winds up its affairs—when it will have its circulation of IS or 20 millions of notes to provide for? A re storation of the deposites, Sir, will be a renewal of the existence of the bank. Can any one who has reflected upon the course of things connected with this institution, have supposed that we are tc get rid of this power without some degree of suffering to the community? Have we forgot ten the events of the year 1811? The pressure was then far greater than it is now. Sir, can any one in reflecting on the proba ble course of things, imagine that we were to get rid of this power without some suffering?— Can we have forgotten the circumstances of 1811-2. That pressure excited great agitation. Property in Baltimore and Philadelphia fell from ten to seven dollars. The Senate would acknow more practicable than to restore a metallic cur ledge that if the termination of the bank when its outstanding debts were only 14 millions, cau sed distress it must be much greater now, when they were sixty or seventy millions. It would be singular indeed, if any one could expect to get rid, without pressure, of such an institution, which for a longtime has been sitting as an in cubus upon the liberties of the country. But, Sir. we are told by the gentleman from South Carolina, that the question was not whether we should get rid of the bank, but whether we should have one subject to the Government, as the State banks are. Can he suppose that the State banks are more under the control of the Government than the United States Bank? Can he suppose that the State Banks, under the con trol as they are of the several legislatures in whose appointments the United States have no influence, can be so formidable? Can he sup pose that the paltry pittance of the deposites can j induce them to become servile partizans of the Government? In the present reduced state of i the revenue, we have not above four millions to divide among four hundred banks. What has hannenedin our own State? Has the gentleman not seen that there the boon had not been sup posed by some of the banks, to be worth the trouble which would be attendant upon the charge of the share of the deposites which would fall into their possession. But I beg leave to say to the gentleman from South Carolina, that that is not the true issue presented, or to which we are confined. I understood him to say, that when a proposition was made for a metallic cur rency, then the question would be fairly pre sented. I beg leave to say, Sir, that nothing is rency in a short time. There are vices in paper currency which ought to be guarded against. The great evil of a paper currency consists in alternate expansions and contractions. Sir, has that evil been mitigated bv the Bank of the United States? No, Sir, on the contrary, is it not obviously increased? The means by which a metallic currency is to be restored are simple and safe; but it is requisite first that the Bank of the United States should cease to exist. It is obvious that in that event gold will at once take the place of notes. This would at once arise from a change in the arrangement in the mint The circulation of bank notes should be discouraged and prevented; and it has been suggested that if it were competent for Con gress to impose a stamp duty on notes below’ a certain value, their circulation would be ef fectually suppressed. I state this preparatory to the establishment of payment in gold and sil ver and I would pledge myself to produce to the Senate a plan to bring about so desirable a state of things. Sir, in contemplation of that measure, we should be rid of an institution which cannot exist conjointly with it. It may be asked, would I not concur in a measure for redressing the injuries which the bank may sustain? Sir, if any wrong had been done to the bank, I would feel myself called j upon to redress the injury; but no such wrong lias been done. The honorable Senator from South Carolina has said that the question is j confined to the action of the Secretary of the Treasury, and he observed that the Bank of the United Staes was no farther involved, than with regard to the safety of the deposites. My own opinion on that subject differs from the Senator, who thinks the money is j exempt from the power of the Secretary of the Treasury. (Here Mr. Calhoun, as we un derstood him, said there was doubt on that point.) I believe, continued Mr. R., that the j whole conduct of the Bank, in regard to the deposites now under consideration, was the cause of the withdrawal of the deposites. The Secretary did it on account of the conduct of 1 the Bank, in violating its charter; and this posi tion I will now endeavor to establish.

It embraces the Latin, Greek, French and English Languages; Logic; Natural and Moral Philosophy; Mathematics; History, Ancient and Modern; Geography; the use of the Globes; Elo cution; English Grammar, Reading, Writing, &c. &c. The Classical Department of this Institution will be conducted by Mr. H. C. McLaughlin, a gentleman of high classical attainments, and of long experience in the education of youth, hav ing been employed for a considerable time as a Professor in one of the most distinguished Uni i versities in this country. 1 The object of the gentlemen concerned in this Institution is to impart to those who may be en I trusted to their charge a solid and thorough knowledge of the Classics, adopting as their j mode the ratio studiorum” which has so de i servedly attracted the attention and secured the approbation of the Literati of Europe and Ame ricu; a system which, if properly attended to, i can alone store the mind with useful and solid knowledge, and form the elegant and profound classic scholar. It need hardly be remarked here, that this system entirely explodes the prac tice which has of late been introduced into ma ny of our most respectable schools, of putting into the hands of youth books composed of sen tences and phrases seiected from the different authors, and substituting such ercerpla for the original—a mode which may, indeed, lead to a rapid and superficial acquaintance, but can ne ver convey the beauty, style, or spirit of the Ro j man and Athenian writers.

IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; yet this dreadful disorder ia easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar-1 rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the sagacity of professional science. ~An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption- Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies, i9 sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive aymptoras —oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; sun veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses aionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre-, mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the most approved remedies ever yet discovered is DR/RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mination of the disorder. As the Pills require in ordinary cases no confine ment, they may be administered with confidence and safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled success baa hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity« Price $1 for who/e boxes of 30 pills, and 50 cents for half do. of 12 pilli, with directions.

Va* July 15, 1830. THE public will be pleased to understand that I was the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and ■ole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same", but, hating connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the. commencement, l permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26lh June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. (TT Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Juc kins* Ointment,** the proprietor avails himself ot tne authority granted to him in his letters patent, now'to call the Ointment after his own name, Hencetortn it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process—ne vertheless it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would oe oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every descriptions 3d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name ef catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part r.tuate; 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the p^rt out of water; 8th Chilblains or partsaffected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plications, (as it dues not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not I_.U._liaUIn ininrv frrvm ,*nntlirp tn mlfl. inj i« v i --1 Thi* Ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing.

From the Hon. John Cocke, Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. Washington, March 22, 1826 Sir—My son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, I at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins* Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac companying the Ointment, and state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health ever since. I have no doubt that to the Ointment alone he is indebted} for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment. Respectfully, John Cocke. Dr. Win. Gunton, Washington City. From L P. IV. Balch, Esq Counsellor at Law, Frede rick. Aid Fbkderick, Md. May 6,1831. Mr. C Hcrstons—l deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of my children were affected with scald head of an inve terate character. My family physician, Dr John T. WiIsod, of Leesburg, Va. who was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every means to effect a cure. At length Judkins'Ointment was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, L. P- W. Balch. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress, dated ashington, January 22,1829. Sir—Ithasbeenmy wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which 1 have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which 1 now understand is made and sold by agents appointed bv yourself, I have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in every instance. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause wbatit may} and l have found nothing so good for wounds of any description It may be proper t0 add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the mo9t distinguished physicians as in curable, and which they decided would, without ampu tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins' Ointment, anu tne patient is in nne ueaiiu. nm lima aneciea oy the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sound ness. Also that the leg ofan aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more than two years, had been considered incurable, was ef fectually cured by the application of Judkins* Oint ment. I mention these two cases, whichfell under my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy of this remedy in cases of tumor and ofulcers* 1 have expe.ienced, as decidedly, the good effect of this remedy in the cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me that any one who wll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect loan with the utmostconfidence recommend the use oft his valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully, John Tauaijrho.

This valuable Medicine, being composed only ot vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature ot man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the mosttender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most peasant and benign in it operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, lias long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use ot them has already verified its truth in this country.

Extract of a Letter to Dr, Moat, Sir: The motive which has induced me to writethis letter to you, is, that I might be instrumental in the recommendation of Morrison’s Universal Vegetable Medicines to the afflicted, which, by the Divine bless ing, has cured me of the Scarlet Fever. My case was as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Alex andria, f was taken very ill, which obliged me, on my arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep, and the next day my throat became so much inflamed, that I could scarcely swallow; and ray face, breast, and body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan ger 1 was in, and l knew" not what to do; Calomel or Mercury 1 abhorred as poison, and therefore desired no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, who had experienced the good effect of the Hygeian Pills in a case or two of her own, mo9l strenuously advised me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, 1 con sented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 pills at night, and eight No. 2 the next morning, and con tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening, until I took sixteen No. 2 at a time, which were dis solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, I could not otherwise swallow them. I confess the dose made me feel somewhat qualmish, &c.; but the pills and the powders, of which took one or two tea-spoonsfull a day,* operated well, and the final result was, that I fell into-a sound sleep, of which I had been deprived, and the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration, freed from fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason (for I had been deranged in mind) returned; and on the 9th day from the time 1 was first taken, 1 left my room, and have ever since enjoyed better health than 1 did before.
