Fellow Citizens: In my preceding letter, I have shown, that the President spontaneously elevated me to the sta tion from which I was soon afterwards remo ved; and that far from taking office to thwart him, I sought to remain in the shade of private life. I have also shown, that, rather than not gratify his vindictive feelings against me, he is even content to be considered a dupe, for he says that I palmed myself, or was palmed upon him. It must be evident, however, that if any one was imposed upon, I was that person. I do not aver that I wus, much less have I a suspicion that the member of the cabinet, referred to, in my last letter, did not state the reasons of the President for se lecting me, of which he had knowledge.— Amongst those reasons, the views or wishes of I the President, in relation to the United States Bank, were not enumerated; nor w’as the sub-; ject ever referred to, in the letters or conversa- j tions, that passed between the member of the j cabinet and myself. In the official paper of the 19th November last, however, it w*as avowed, that the President selected me, because he sup posed I accorded with his views in relation to the bank. So that the main motive for my se-1 lection, was not before stated. I do not say, j that the President concealed his views, until at- j ter my entrance into office, in order to render mir o/»/»rtpHanrp mnre eertain. after I had made so serious a change, as that of private for public lifej'I do not believe that he did; but I have much more reason to presume, that such was the case, than the President has to suspect, that I entered into office on purpose to thwart him. Were I fully to admit, what the official paper alleges, that l knew that the removal of the de posits was agitated, that would not affect the question between the President and me. If he had asked my opinion, 1 would have concurred in the course, which he was pursuing in Decem ber, 1832, namely, an appeal to Congress; it was the same course which 1 advocated whilst I was in office, and which l offered to pursue myself. I could have no suspicion, however, that the President intended to abandon in future the ve- j ry course which he had himself sanctioned. All antecedent public acts, even the respect 1 then entertained for him, forbade me to suppose, that he meant to anticipate the action ot Congress, evade the Judiciary, and trample on the law it self. 1. In his veto message, he left the subject of the United States Bank to the Congress of 1833. 2. When, during the last Congress, he doubted the safety of the public deposits in the U. S. Bank, instead of taking upon himself the responsibility of their removal, he appealed to Congress. 3. His personal and political friend was ap pointed to enquire into the condition of the Bank, and on his report the representatives of the people, by a vote of 109 to 46, directed the public money to be retained, where the law had placed it. 4. It is fair to infer that the President himself was satisfied with this decision, for he soon after approved of an act of Congress, au thorising the Secretary of the Treasury to lend to the United States Bank, or upon its stock, se veral millions of dollars, trust money receivable from France, for American citizens having claims upon that country. Had l intuitive or prophetic skill? Because banks and speculators continued to agitate the deposite question, notwithstanding the decision of Congress, was I to suppose, that the President would become their prey? Could I suspect, that they would be able to persuade him to consider Congress corruptible, and the Judiciary alrea dy contaminated? Is it credible, that I, who sought to avoid office altogether, wilfully pla cedlnyself in such a position, that my removal by the President for disobeying, or my rejection by the Senate for obeying him, would be inevit nhlp? When he thought proper to ask the written opinions of the membeis of the cabinet, upon whom no responsibility would rest, was it not due to me then shortly to enter his cabinet, that he should have frankly informed me that the re- j xnoval of the deposits, before the meeting of the j next Congress, was definitively fixed upon, and that l should be expected to do the act? Ne vertheless I had no sort of intimation that the opinions of the members of the cabinet had been asked, or that, whether I approved of it or not, the task of removing the deposites would be imposed upon me without enquiry by Con gress. When I entered upon my official duties, and found much to my surprise, that the measure was determined upon, and that I would be ex pected t-» carry it into execution, my charitable conclusion was, that as l really accorded with the President in opposing the United States Bank, he had no doubt of my readiness to act in this case with him. He fancied, indeed, that my hostility was so unqualified, that 1 would as sail that institution after the manner of Indian warfare, and it w’us on this point that all our difficulties arose. When 1 went into office I supposed that I w*as to be the agent of the country, and not the mere instrument or the Chief Magistrate. I contem plated some changes which 1 hoped would be beneficial to the country, and felt indignant when I found that measures w ere to be pressed upon me, useful only to those who prey upon its vitals; an indignation, which, I confess, was in creased by the circumstances, that the duty pre pared for me, was announced not by those, who had been selected by the President, as most worthy to he his constitutional advisers, but by irresponsible persons, w’ho possessed the confi dence, if not the places, properly belonging to them. -1 desire that it may be here borne in mind, notwithstanding the occurrences con nected with my removal from office, I actually desired to|avoid even complaint. 1 regarded the President as the victim ot unworthy influence and unhappy passions; and therefore, as well as on the public account, 1 was desirous of preventing any angry public discussion, or any exhibition j of my official relations with the President. To this end l wrote a letter to the President’s Sec retary, on the 27th of Sept, complaining of the I course ofthe official paper in relation to me.— In this letter, 1 say, 1 do not deprecate such a course for my own sake; if it is desirable that our relations should be placed before the public eye, I am ready. But it seems to me that, in such conflicts, the public reputation suffers and that injury and in sult have been administered to me in such quanti ty as to demand no further aid of that kind” &c. Notwithstanding this appeal, it will be found on reference to the file of the official paper, that vile insinuations were subsequently made respecting my motives for resisting the President. Yet out of respect for our institutions I forbore to repel imputations upon my character for nearly five months; and if I shall now mention any facts, which under ordinary circumstances, it might be improper to state, I hope it will be remembered, that 1 do so, not under the influence of resent ment, but in self-defence. Parts of my corres pondence and conversations have been used, in order to infuse foul suspicions respecting me; and I now barely show that 1 am not the only accused or suspected person; but that I share the fate of all who will not sacrifice their principles, not at the feet of the President, but at those of men who govern the country through the instrumentality of his passions and prejudi ces. -My commission bore the date of May 29, 1S33, and on the 30th, I reached Washing ton. After waiting upon the President, on the next day, l went to the Treasury Department, and took the oath of office on the 1st of June.— On the evening of that day, Mr. Reuben M. Whitney called upon me at my lodgings, at the desire, as he said, of the President, to make known to me what had been done, and what whs to be done, in relation to the United States Bank. He stated, that the President had con cluded to take upon himself the responsibility, of directing the Secretary of the Treasury to remove the public deposites from the bank, and to transfer them to State banks; that lie had asked the members of the cabinet to give him their opinions on the subject; that the President had said, Mr. Taney and Mr. Barry had come out like men for the removal;” Mr. M'Lane had given a long opinion againstit; that Mr.Cass was supposed to be against it, but had given no writ ten opinion; and that Mr. Woodbury* had giv en an opinion which was “yes” and “no;” that the President would make the act his own; by ad dressing a paper or order to the Secretary of the Treasury; that Mr. Amos Kendall, who was high in the President's confidence was now pre paring that paper; that there had been delay nuinatnthe affair at Alexandria; but, no doubt, the President would soon speak to me on the subject; that the paper referred to, would be put forth as the Proclamation had been, and would be made a rallying point; that he Mr. Whit ney) had, at the desire of the President, drawn a memoir or exposition, showing that the mea sure might be safely adopted, and that the State banks would be fully adequate to all the purpo ses of government: he then read the exposition to me, and as 1 desired to understand matters so important and so singularly presented to me, 1 asked him to leave the paper with me, which lie accordingly did. He also read to me divers let ters, from individuals connected with State banks. The drift of his further observations was to satisfy me that the executive arm alone, could be relied on to prevent a renewal of the U. States Bank charter. The communication thus made to me created surprise and mortification. 1 was surprised at the position of affairs, which it revealed, and mortified at the low estimate which had been formed of the independence of my character. I listened, however, respectfully to one who gave such evidence of the confidence reposed in him, and awaited the explanation which he intimated the President would give. Soon after this interview I took occasion to express my mortification at my position, to the member of the cabinet, who had represented the President in asking me to accept office. On the next eveninig (Sunday) Mr. Whitney again called on me in company with a stranger, whom he introduced as Mr. Amos Kendall, a gentleman in the President’s confidence, and who would give me any further explanation, that l might desire, as to what was meditated in relation to the United States Bank, and who then called on me because lie was about to pro ceed to Baltimore. I did not invite, nor check, communication. Very little was said, and per haps because I could not wholly conceal my mortification at an attempt, apparently with the sanction of the President, to reduce me to a mere cypher in the administration. The next morning, June 3d, l waited upon the President, and, as I had been apprised by Mr. Whitney would he the case, he soon introduced the subject of the bank. 1 stated that Mr. V\ hit ney had made known to me what had been done, and what was intended, and had intimat ed that his communication was made at the President’s desire. The President replied, in a tone of dissatisfaction, that it was true he had conferred with Mr. Whitney, and obtained in formation from him as to the bank, but that he was not his confidant, nor had he told him to call on me. I enumerated the representations which Mr. Whitney had made, and their cor rectness was admitted. I said 1 feared that I should not be able to see the subject in the liirht in which the President viewed it; to which lie re marked that he liked frankness, that my prede cessor and himself had sometimes differed in opinion, but it had made no difference in feeling, and should not in my case; that the matter under consideration was of vast consequence to the country; that unless the bank was broken down, it would break us down; that if the last Congress had remained a week longer in session two-thirds would have been secured for the bank by corrupt means; and that the like result might be apprehended at the next Congress; that such a State Bank agency must be put in operation, before the meeting of Congress, as would show that the United States Bank was not necessary; and thus some members would have no excuse for voting for it. My suggestions as to an enquiry by Congress, as in December, 1832, or a recourse to the Ju diciary, the President repelled, saying it would be idle to rely upon either; referring, as to the Judiciary, to decisions already made, as indica tions of what would be the effect of an appeal to them in future. After mentioning that he would speak to me again, before he departed to the eastward, he said he meant to take the opi nions of the members of the cabinet with him, but would send them to me from New York, to gether with his vieics. and would expect me, on his return, to give him my sentiments frankly and fully. On the 5th of June, I had a brief conversa tion with the President, jn the course of which, as at all other times I do him the justice to say, he emphatically declared that his views were al together public spirited. He concluded by say ing, remember, I do not wish any body to conceal his sentiments; 1 give you my views, you give yours; all I ask is that you will reflect with a view to the public good.” The President left Washington on the 6th of June. During his absence, further circum stances came »o my knowledge which induced It is due to this gentleman to state, that I subsequently learned, he was opposed to a re moval prior to July, 1834, and was for only a gradual change afterwards. me to believe, that the removal of the deposites was not advocated with any view to public uti lity, but urged to accomplish selfish if not fac tious purposes. I sought no intercourse with those, who, I felt satisfied, had an undue influ ence over the President, at least in relation to the grave questions connected with the removal of the deposits. Vv henever any one of them called on me, there was no hesitation in urging me to accord in the proposed measuie. It v\as contended that the removal of the deposits would be made a rallying point, at the opening of Congress, or a flag up, for the new members. Whenever 1 urged a recourse, in the first in stance, to Congress, or the Judiciary, such a step was scouted at, and delay represented as hazardous. Ijhad heard rumors of the existence of an influ ence at Washington,unknown to the constitution. The conviction, that such an influence existed, at least in relation to the matters then pressed upon me, was irresistible. I knew that four of the six members of the cabinet, before I became a member of it, had been opposed to any pre sent action in relation to the deposits; and 1 al so knew that four of the six members of the ex isting cabinet entertained the same views. I felt satisfied, not only that the President was not in the hands of his constitutional advisers, but that their advice was successfully resisted by persons whose views I considered at variance with the public interest and the President’s fame. Such were my impressions, when, on the 1st of July, I received a letter from the President, dated '‘Boston, June 26, 1833,” together with his views, and the opinions of four of the mem bers of the cabinet, voluminous papers, in the examination of which I was engaged, when the President unexpectedly returned to Washing ton on the 4th of July. In the views, given by the President he ex pressed his opinion, that the Secretary of the Treasury would be wisely exercising the discre tion conferred upon him by law, by directing the deposits to be made in the State banks, from and after the 15th't>f September, if arrangements to be made with them should be then completed. In his letter, he stated that the only difficulty he for some time had, was, as to the time when i o/\m monnot V* o i liti t h m l rr h f Ill V VllUll^V OIIV7U1U vvyniiuvii y *»v tiie time should be from the 1st to the 15th of September; that an agent should be sent; to*consult with State banks upon the practica bility of an arrangement, such as the Piesident then proceeded to detail; but that he did not j contemplate a removal of funds deposited, un- less when wanted for public purposes. This letter closed with this emphatic assurance; “In making to you, my dear sir, this frank and explicit avowal of my opinions and feelings, it is not my intention to interfere with the inde pendent exercise of the discretion committed to you by law over the subject. I have thought it however due to you, under the circumstances, to place before you, with this restriction, my sen timents upon the subject, to the end that you may, on my responsibility, allow them to enter into your decision upon the subject, and into any future exposition of it, so far as you may deem it proper.” Prior to the reception of these communica tions, 1 had fe,t embarrassment, not only in re lation to the general subject, but as to constitu tional and legal questions. I was in doubt as to the view which the President would take of, the 16th section of the law, chartering the Unit- j ed States Bank, which gave the discretion, as to j the deposites, to the Secretary of the Treasury, j When, however, 1 read the above passage in his j letter, my anxiety was in a great measure, if not wholly, removed. If it meant any thing, i concluded, that the President now confirmed, what the law had already declared, that the Se cretary of the Treasury had the exclusive right to exercise that discretion independently of the President, and that in thus writing to me, he had pledged himself not to interfere beyond the expression of his own opinions, and the em ployment of argument to have an influence up on mine. Reflecting, however, upon the means that might be used to induce the President to disregard this pledge. I considered it my duty to comply strictly with his direction, to give him my sentiments frankly and, fully; and these you will find in my next letter. W. J. DUANE. Philadelphia, Feb. 22. 1824.

To my old friend Mr. Dwight of the New York Daily Advertiser. Washington, 21st Feb. 1834. In my last letter I telled you about my presentin to the Gineral them two Committees from New York—one of the Merchants and Traders, and tother of the Mechanics, and how the Gineral thought the last come right from Tammany Hall, and got into a plagv mistake about it. But I telled you that the rale Tammany folks did come, and now I’m going to tell you what a high time we had here. I got the list of names of the Committee, and I and the Gineral went to work readin on em over and over, so as to git em glib—so when the hour come, we got the room to rights, and the Gineral took his stand right in the middle on’t, and I stood a little ahead on him, and Dennis j M’Looney, who 1 tell’d you about in my last, he said he best git by the door with the list of; names, and call em out for us, and so let em come up to the Gineral one at a time, and then i there would be no mistake—he said that was ex- j actly the way at all the great folks houses in Ire- j land. But when they come, you never see sich work as Dennis made out—he stopped the first one, and instead of lettin the man tell him what j his name was, Dennis wanted to know if he was so and so—he took the first name on the I list and arter he tried ein all round, he took the next name and tried em a spell at that, and so on. I could’nt hear all that was said, for Dennis ony opened the door jist wide enuf to put his own head out, and kept talkin and scoldin like all naturj so to rights the Gineral call’d out, and says he, let our#friends come in—but Dennis jam’d the door right too, and turned and tell’d the Gineral, he did’nt believe they" were the per sons the Gineral expected, and so I had to go and let em in myself, and to keep Dennis out of trouble, I toll’d him to go in a corner, and look j and learn somethin of American manners, afore I he come to play Irish here. And so in they come—but there was ony three on em, and that made things easy for me, and as the Gineral remembered as many of the I 1 A 1 1 1 11 _ names, ue sieppeu up iu em, aim biiuuK nanus with em and called em by the three first names on the list—to one he said, I am glad to wel come the man who was once Mayor of New York, and I hope to see you, Mayor, agin says the Gineral—and you my friend, I thank you once more for bringingmeon here jist after my first election, that big bald headed Easfie—I was so busy then I had not time to do it—I am sorry to tell you that noble bird is dead, but I preserved all I could of him, I stuffed my arm chair cushion with his feathers—my friend Mrs. E. made a fan of his tail, and I keep his quills to write my Proclamations and Vetoes with; and so the Gin eral shook hands agin, and to rights, says he, where is the rest on you: and he took up the list and read all their names over, and then come troble. They told the Gineral, nary one on em ever had been Mayor, and none on ’em sent an Eagle to the Gineral; but one said he had the honor of makin the furniter for the Gineral’s room, when he was on at York, on the Grand tower; and then he handed the Gineral his card, tellin about his work; and another step’d up and toll’d the Gineral lie had the honor of sellin it at Auction arter the Gineral was done usin on’nt; and he gin the Gineral another card, tel lin what his business was in York. The Gineral look’d at ’em a spell, and then he looked at tother one, but he had no card; he said lie did’nt do no business, because he had an office under the Government. The Gineral be gun to think there was another mistake, and he look’d at me, and I tip’d him a wink, and jist whisper’d in his ear.—"try ’em on Glory a spell, Gineral says I, and there will be no mistake arter that”; and so the Gineral went at it, and sure enuf you never see criturs spruce up as they did; and the further the Gineral got into Glory and Reform, the louder the criturs hurraw’d for us; and Dennis got at it too. and that made jist six on us, and we settled up matters as clear as a whistle. There warnt no distress nowhere; one said. Mahogany was as cheep as pine boards was a spell ago, and so was labor; and if the Gineral would ony go and put down the Bank, and would give him an order to make him some tables, he would show the difference; another said times never was better for his business, for lie expected this spring to have the sellin of nigh upon all the house hold furniture in New York; and the other said he was content so long as the party hung together, for he got his honest livin out of the public money, and that did’nt belong to no body but the Gineral, and then we all turn’d too agin and had another spell of Glory and hurrawin. The Gineral was tickled most desperately, and he tell’d ’em all to stay and take dinner with us; and as soon as Congress was let out we had a good large party, and we all set down and talk’d over matters; and as we had now jist the kind of folks from New York to tell the Congress folks and all our other friends what the rale state of things was North, and that there war’nt no distress there, and them other fellows I tell’d you about in my last letter, ony come here to throw dust in our eyes. Every thing was now as light as sun shine; and it will take a good many Committees and Petitions too to make the Gineral budge an inch now. The Gineral tell’d these good folks from Tam many Hall, he’d like to have em stay here as long as Congress remains here, and they may come and put up in the White House, and they shant spend a cent of (heir own money. As soon as the Gineral said that, one on em got up from the table and walked round to the Gineral, and whispered somethin in the Gineral’s ear.— For i spell the Gineral looked plagy blank, and all I could hear him say was What”—“ Rent” Can’t pay,” “I see,” says the Gineral, “how it is—that’s Riddle’s work—PH disappoint him” —and with that he call’d Amos, and whisper’d something to him, and he whisper’d something to Tavvney, and he whisper’d agin to Major Blair, and so it went round till orm on ’em got up and went over to the Treasury, and brought in some money, and the Gineral settled up that matter pretty quick—and so that’s pretty much all Pve got to say about this Tammany Com mittee—and if you wrant to know about some other things that’s goin on here that I haint got time to write about, Pd advise you to read Den nis McLooney’s letters; he writes a leetle every day to his friends in Ireland, and to git it home safe he tells me he sends his letters to Mr. King, who prints the New York American. Dennis and I are pretty good friends, considering—but he says he don’t like the Yankees a bit, and to be even with him I tell him I like his country men amazingly, so we won’t quarrel on that hook.

ALEXANDRIA* THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 27, 1834. LATEST FROM EUROPE. By the arrival at New York of the packet ships New York and Havre, French and En lish papers to the 8th January have been receh ed. The London Sun of the 6th, in speaking c the affairs of the country, says: It is reported that the government, in consequence of tin* threatening aspect ofloreign affairs, lias, for i. v present, suspended its announced intention oi reducing the army.” The English journalists have for several week been speculating upon the chances—the possibi lity-—nay, the probability—of a war w ith Rt.s sia—in consequence of the movements of the lat ter power in the East. But there is no founda tion for any such apprehension. There is not a spec of war discernible. The item of greatest personal interest ig ti.e citizens of the United States, furnished by i:<e news from France, is an averment in the J0U»-. nal des Debats, that 1 France will pay.' We do not discover, however, any official action upu the subject of our claim upon that government The discussion of the address in reply to p;, King’s Speed), had occupied several days in p Chamber of Deputies, and was not concluded The accounts from Spain are yet contradk tory aud vague—often taking their complexio: from the feelings, wishes, or interests, of tho* who write them. According to the latest, the cause of the Queen is far from being in a pros perous state; dissentions are said to preva. amongst her ministers. A Spanish arrny of G.000 men lias enter, Portugal. The pretext for this invasion, say th accounts before us, is the apprehension of Do.. Carlos—they have liberated all the Portugucr prisoners at Portalagre. Assassination of Caspar Hauser!— From tl. Berlin Gazette of December 27, it appears ti. poor Caspar Hauser,—the mysterious yout whose case has excited so much interest in Eu rope and America,—has at last fallen by th stroke of an assassin. An attempt, it will bei collected, by all who have read the history o. this wonderful case—and who lias not?—w; made upon the life of this mysterious being, i; long after he was discovered. The attempt L. been repeated, with but too much success SHARP SHOOTING. In the Senate, last Saturday,— Mr. Kanl said, he did not rise to go into an; discussion, but to remark upon the conlidei. predictions of the future which had been mad especially by a Senator from Maryland (M. Chambers.) That gentleman has said that i state of things would arise, when no peiso:, however elevated, would dart to act so and When we look into the future, and attempt! decide upon coming political results, we pis; the part of little wanton boys, that swim', bladders far beyond their depth.” These pre dictions are not very respectful to the rest c-t mankind, who have judgments to form, andd cisions to make for themselves. Besides, .dr,:: destiny of all things, present and future, is i;. the hands of the Author of all things. Thefi. lacy of all human predictions, as to future po:. tical results, has been abundantly shown, by t.h fact, that they cannot be ascertained by then- J of the most reliable of all human agent*-/, gures. A gentleman, some years ago, of hr character for virtue and intelligence, the equ. in all respects to the honorable Senator f: Maryland, after speculating mathematical^r on a political result, became so satisfied than had arrived at the quod erat denwnstrat i that he made not an arithmetical, but a penn: trical bet upon the subject; and the issue pi that f gures failed him. How vain, then, are human calculations upon the future. Ami a such a failure, mathematically, we should bepx tremely cautious how we rely upon infer--' agencies. a %.__• i r i _1, mi. v..UA.nctus sniu, i uuiut; uic i. lost the bet; and what may appear strnrge the Senator from Illinois.

We are glad that they do not ail before the power of the Executive, but boldly stand up and oppose that power when it; is uujustly exerted either by words or actions- i Now is the time to resist oppression. A year hence may be too late. The reason for these sentiments will be seen upon reading the following eloquent remarks, made by Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, in the Se nate on Tuesday: We all remember that more than twenty gen tipnrn, of the first respectability in that city, which is the proudest ornament of Pennsylva-1 Til after bearing to Congress the memorial off more than ten thousand of its citizens, praying j hat the public deposites might be restored to the Bank of the United States, waited on the Presi dent for the purpose of explaining the griev-! ances of their constituents; and that they have published to the world the result of their inter-! Lw in a detailed report made to the freemen of that city on the 22d inst They state in that. report sir, that, at their interview with the Presi dent! he admitted that considerable distress followed the action of the Government, in relation to the deposites. He had never doubt-i .L.i o anrt Slfnrk SI nrrul n tnrs jiiiH mat x “ALL WHO WERE DOING BUSINESS UPON BORROWED j “capital, would suffer severely under the “eifectsof the measure; and that all such peo ple OUGHT TO BREAK!” Henceforth, sir, let all those who, on this floor or elsewhere, have denied the existence of any pressure on the country, or who, confessing its existence, have assigned the wrong cause for it, to protect the miserable purposes of party, learn, that they have mistaken their cue; that the object of their idolatry himself, disclaims their defence, de nounces their subterfuge, boldly avows that he foresaw all the consequences of his act, and that the very object of it was, that all who were do ing business upon borrowed capital” should be ruined. They “ought to break,”says he. He “never doubted that they would suffer, and suf fer severely.” He felt no sympathy for any but those, who, rolling in wealth, are the cankers of a calm world and a long peace;” doing noth- ing; or those who, placed bv fortune above the disasters of the times, are doing business on their own capital. Sir, in my opinion, a more aristocratic senti ment never disgraced any branch of this Gov ernment. Who are all those who are doing business on a borrowed capital? The Execu-, tive denunciation includes three-fourths of all the laboring men in the nation—the mechanics, the tenantry, the manufacturers, and all but the office-holders, and that portion of society which, if there be such a thing as an aristocra cy of wealth in this country, can be classed most properly under that designation. As one of those, who, like most of my associates here, be gan life on a borrowed capital, and who are not now, and never will be, ashamed to acknowl edge it, l avail myself of this, the earliest possi ble opportunity which has offered since I read this report, to express in my place, and in the face of the whole country, my utter abhorrence of the sentiment which the President has so un blushingly avowed The Chief Magistrate has ventured to class the whole mass of the real workingmen of the nation with the stock-job bers of the times, and to express his satisfaction at the distresses he has caused them. Who is that member of this body that shall dare to stand forth and defend this sentiment? No man j here doubts that it is truly reported. If there be any such as will either defend this sentiment, or deny that it was uttered, let us hear him. It is time the People understood the true issue they hicuuow lorry, n is tune, sn, mai an tunity should be fairly given to the poor and the middle classes of men. in this nation, to prove to the world whether they lack gall to make op pression bitter! Whether they merit the taunts ot an oppessor who has dared to tell them they ought to break! If that issue shall be fairly un derstood, I have no fears for the result of the trial which such jurors shall decide. Mr. Duane’s disclosures, in his third letter, in May’s Gazette, being authentic, will confirm all that has been said relative to the power behind the throne.” Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Jan. 7th, to a mercantile house in this place: The session of the Legislature has opened under happy auspices; the Ministry is support ed by a handsome majority, and every thing announces a prosperous future (un bel avenir) this country. Our public stocks are on the rise since some days.” The meeting of the Mechanics of New York uas to have taken place last Saturday. The r^‘port of their Delegation will, says the New ark Commercial, u excite the astonishment of *»ery citizen; for it will present the dialogue that furred between General Jackson and the De lation precisely as it took place. They will nothing extenuate, (except a little of his pro anily>) nor set down aught in malice;” but it AiH be demonstrated that the vassals of an Ori ental Despot are not repelled from the Imperiaj Presence with more humiliating tokens of dis. regard for their supplications, nor more super Cl *ou* d*splay of regal power, than has hap ^d to the immediate representatives of the sovereicdj PEOPLE •n^T ebster thought it his duty, in the Senate uesday, to refer to one of the numerous statements of the Globe, and to expose it. accused Mr. ebster of i%etaining of the appropriation bills passed by the nan^’ and rererred» in the Senate, to the Fi* ^Ce Con*mittee; intending,” says the Globe, second the effort of Nicholas Biddle, to pre vent the Revolutionary pensioners from re- j ceiving their half-yearly dues on the 4th of March.” The fact was, Mr. Webster report ed the bill as far back as the 10th instant. The Globe yesterday, acknowledges its error. The directors of the Deposite Bank at Louis ville, Ky. have by an unanimous vote, requested the Deposites to be restored to the Bank of the U. States. The Wandering Piper” left to be dis tributed in Alexandria the following sums: To the Evangelical Lodge $15 00 To the Orphan Asylum and Female Free School uu To the Orphan Asylum of the Sisters of) g Charity u _ $35 00 Governor Floyd, Mr. Tazewell, Mr. Preston, and other distinguished gentlemen, were in Nor folk and Portsmouth on Jhe 22d instant, and took j part in the celebration of the day with the citi-1 zens of that place. Mr. Preston was toasted, and made an eloquent speech in reply. The following disgraceful remarks and out rageous slander upon the Senate of the United States, appeared in the Government” news paper, the Globe, yesterday: Every morning, regularly, the Senate is opened by s ome grave Seignor, who, with ac cents of despair, draws from his pocket some account of panic and distress, which, for weeks before, in conjunction with the Bank, he has been contriving to produce. He feigns infinite sorrow at what gives him infinite satisfaction— i his success; begins a tirade of abuse against the j man who lies like a lion in the path of Mr. Bid- j die and his crowd of monopolists and political followers; he invents a thousand false terrors I and false rumors, and closes with still more ter- _ J.*_ TT _ _1* J a. _ _ 1 _il i luit; juruiuuuus. nc i?> itpuru iu, anu men uic day is closed with a melee of personal repartee and altercation. In the confusion, the business of the public is totally neglected Mr. Biddle and his Bank engross the whole attention of the controlling majority, which, looking to the influ ence of his coffers for future political prefer ment, (possibly some for immediate convenien ces) have lost sight of their true constituents, and, as a consequence, of the high character that once made the Senate of the United States the most august assembly in the world.” We will not stop to comment upon such an outrage as this. We hold it up to the reproba tion of all parties.

RELFE’S BOTANICAL DROPS are every year increasing their long established repu* tation. They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence.. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for manv years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and general y appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy. St Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores. White Swellings. Scurvy, Foal and Ob^ stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and ▼enereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he ceditary disease on hi* offspring Dr. Kelfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches —pimples on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors A physician of eminence, who had witness ’d the ef ficacv of this article, hid the candor recentiv to ack nowiedge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, fur the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, 1 have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon N SHEPHERD Xj* Imposition having been practised upon the pub lic bv a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins’ Ointment,** the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name, Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT- M ENT, (fo rmerly Ju dk inn'.) j When l 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 o? opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I poncho.ed 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 ramble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, 1 secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long buflie J the skil, of n.e dical science: 1st White swellings of every description,* 2d Sore leys and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular turn >t\s, particularlythose hardened tumors in woroi-n’s breasts, w Inch oftentimes terminate in ulcerated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ot the joints; 6th Sprains ami oruises of every description, or i n whatever part situate; 7ti» Fetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the pari out of water; 8th Chilblains or parts affected by frost It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the tire out in a short time For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine vet known to the m dical faculty It is much safer than mercurial ap ohcati.ms, (as it does not con'ain the smallest atom of anv preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient Imb e to injury from exposure to cold.
