Butler retired to private life, where he remained for twenty-five ycara, when he was brought orward as the Democratic candidate in his congressional district, and was -elected for two successive terms, although Ole district had before beln whig. In 1844 he was brought ffirward as the democratic candidate for Governor, and so great was his Popularity that, although the whigs !Mil a majority of twenty-thousand in the State, ho was defeated by less than five thomand. The part ho has taken in the present war with Mexico is too familiar and an country's to the public to need recapitulation here.' That he has bore himself with distinguished ability and courage, and sustained his previous well-earned reputation, can nei ther be denied or contretterted by his political foes, and that higher and brighter; 'services and honors aro in wait fOr him, wo have every ttssurance to believe. _ With td o oath Men as CABS and Burt nt to lead them, a more de cisive victory than that of 1811, awaits the Democracy in the approaching contet. Both baptized in their 'coun try's service in the war oe, 1812—both firm and consibtent in their loyalty to Democratic, men and - measures—both statesmen of acknowledged ability and integrity—;and both unusually popular with the masses, their election cannot for a moment be doubted. Wo care not who our opponents bring into the field--let it be Clay, Corwin, McLane, Scott. or even old Zack himself—with such a ticket the Democracy must and will triumph THE E, "E B. BANK.—The more the public does of the man agement ofithis institution the more its corruption is ex hibited. We venture to predict that in all the failures of banks in this country—and their name is legion—none exhibits such a total disregard of the public . ,as this. For some years lit has been used only by Its PreSident to facil itate his imtnense business operations—his grasping av arice for gtkin—or his tdobition for politiCal distinction, And now since ho has ruined it in grain speculations, in building bots—erecting aforty thousand dollar dwelling —in purchasing canal bonds, and in short:, in attempting to monopilize every kind iilbusinet.s, oveMto selling tape, he comes' out in a card and gravely tells the note holders to hold on and ho will ultimately redeem i its notes. He also takes credit to himself for such a con+. The cred it of his rederitption of the notes and debts of the hank be longs to the laws of the State and not him. I He is indiriti natty liable for every dollar of its intlfbnidness, and he /mines it. Ho knows that he hay made himself liable ac cording to its charter, and he alsoknows that if the cred itors of the bank would push their clainT it would be very apt to bankrupt him. en.

In ! i d by the be United But we did not set down to write an article ourselves, but merely td introduce the following for thO Matti- Coss ty ,Mug to Jihow how thii "lust card to Mb public" is re ceived abroad:. r;' i I Tut: East 1h x.—We copy from the Frio Chronicle and publish in another column of our paper, another card from Charles M. Reed, Esq., relative , to tho affairs of this Bank, and the position-he lute taken lin order to in sure the redemption of its notes. Mr. Reed complains of seports,•da4 fabricated and put in circulatibn, for the pur pose, of destroying all confidence in the ability of the Bank to redeem its liabilities, inilwelllis for the purpose of in juring him individually. We are not aware of any ef forts being made to destroy the confidence iin the ability .of the Bank, spoken of by Gen. Reed. Soch" - efleits, at the present time, would appear to us to tail entirely une eessary, as all confidence is already lost, both as regards the solvency of the Bank, and the statements and prom ises of Gen. Rood. His own course has tended more to destroy confidence, than all the efforts of which hb speaks. In the first place he publishd a card, sating his willing ness to pledge all his property for the redemption of the notes of the Bank, and afterwards declined doing so. We were then informed that ho had agreed to receive tit = money in payment of fare and freight on his uumerou. I steamboats on Lake Erie, and that it would be received on the Erio Extension Canal. On Saturday last, ,we , 1 conversed with a gentlemen of thik place, who visited ' , Eric last week, - and he informs us that Gen. Reed will [ not receive the money in payment Of freight &c. on his bouts. His excuse is that ho belongs to a combination, which has been formed amongst the imt owners on Lake ! Erie, and that the combination-Will not agree to receive I -them. The gentleman referred to fiirtherlitated that ho could not buy fish, soh, or any thing else with Erie money except dry goods, andt oven then! you Would have -to take out the whole am Mt of the bill you Offered, as the merchants would give no change. 1 Afterimell a course as Gen. Reed has pursued, and from the value in which the notes of the hank are held at home, is it strange that • rumors should . be 'put into eirculatiOn? The holders of the notes aro anxious to be 'made seCuro, but since they have seen so much vacilation in the oridue of Gen. Reed it will take'something more than his merestatement, as hero given, to restore the confide*, ANI HI Chas been .1 justly forfeited. - 4 ' - ' We belieie that the notes are now receiqd in Payment of dolls on the Canal, but to-morrow I may bring word that they have been refused by the coMpany. The amount of tolls on the Canal - for thirty days, supposing ii. all to ho paid in Erie money, will do' tint:little towards re deeMing the large amount in circulation. ; ' (LT The Editor of the Buffalo Riiiublis says he is go, lag to give Gen.

Gen. Taylor's friends were few in number, and bankrupt in character—(poll(Mo' character, of coarse .we mean)— noW, however, in view of the_certain defeat of Mr. Clay, should ho be nominated, the former aro ready to throw him overheard, like any other political Jonah, and are ral lying on the latter as a desperate resort to save defeat:— What political stultification ifethis! Not-a weekhas pas sed since these very men derided and laughed at the idea of nominating CAss---i.;aid he was the easiest man named by the llernocracy in connection with' the Presidency, to beat, and braggf,tl how easy it would be for Harry Clay to distance hint. But to! a Change has come ever the spirit of their dreams, and they are ready now to abandon, this same Harry Clay becauSe they think Gtin. Taylor is more available : Not. a week ago they were - IMM in their determination never, 310 ?icier, to support Gen. Tay lor— they were not agoing to be Tylerized again, not they— but no sooner did the Baltimore convention put in nom ination the man they were so anxious to defeat with Mr. . Clay; than they wheel square round, "jump Jim Crow". without even so much as winking, and hurrah for Tay lor with all their ',might, What has become of Clay's "availibility"?—where bath vanished the insuperable ob jections to Taylor's non-committalkon, ye so often urged against him? what lucky wizard's wand bath clothed hint with that panoply of whig principles ve have, all , • i along deemed essential in a candidate?—what 'grand "puss" in political legerdemain has obliterated his de clared determination to be a candidate in spite of your convvttion and Henry Clay to' hoot? Answer us thesel l questions, ye sachems of whigery—tell us how it comes { to pass that the man who Was gesterday unworthy of Wog support, is to-flay idle great .1 AM of the party? But I suppose, for one Moment, gentlemen, your convention ' should not nominate :Gen. Taylor, you have acknowl edged by your vascillating cowardice the wcakness of i your cause, and the re - sult will show that you were defeat-f ed before thedtattle commenced. You will find that yen have stultified yourselves politically, and will be 1 aughed at for your pains. But again suppodo your convention should-throw Mr. Clay overboard—should turn its back upon the principles and men of the party, and sotect Gen. Taylor because he is a military chieftain, and therefore thought to bo "available," do you imagine he can be elected? If you do, you are doomed to a woeful disap pointment. Besides, did you ever imagine what a ridiculous spectacle of consistency you will exhibit in sup porting Geri. Taylor? As the Pennsylvanian Just remarks, Jackson, at the head of the "Blue Lights" and Hartford Conventionishi, would have been as appropriately follow ed. First in the ranks of his defenders, will, no doubt, be found Webster, who said all laurels won in this war were soiled and dishonored—Corwin, who wished the Mexicans to give Taylor and his troops "hospitable graves with bloody hands"—Chandler, who said' Taylor ought to have been cashiered for the capitulation'of Monterev— Greeley, who has shouted "accursed be this infamous war"—Prtntice, Mbo nays it is "a war against God"— and Ashman, whose •amendinent still festers upon the Congressional resolution of thanks. But what will be more, singular \than all, will be to see Gen. Taylor's tie litical ranks Mowed' down by the very soldiers who, in Mexico, swept down the ranks of the Mexicans? Every opinion now published front the Army against whigery, will bo a blow aimed at the cause. of Taylor, if he shat accept the whig nomination. Th e world knows how our brave soldiers can aim, and hot i they can tire, and whigery will be added to Mexico as a new proof of both during the iliuxt auction. Ii will be, indeed, a prospect strange and edifying, in all respects, to See Gen. Taylor, the Captain of whigerv; lint the issue will show how little oven a - great saute will nerve to save a bad cause from &- fiat and degradation.

It appears that he has been *aged in it ever since ho entered the store, and on ac count of his apparent inoffensive and quiet demeanor, had avoided- suspicion. A few days after ho entered the store, ho purchased a large dry goods trunk, which he kept at his sister's, about a Milo from town—in thevore he kept a carpet-bag, in which lie pretended to keep a change of lino'', and for the purpOse of cam ing them to and from the store. fly this process he had filled his trunk' with the !test goods in the store, and on Saturday last gave up his situation under the pretence that he had relived ! letters froth Germany requiring him to return to sett 'e his father's estate. His real object was' to peddle. 11, was committed to jail to await his trial in August.
