tion will be made to the next Legislature, tor cer
tain amendments and alterations in their charter,
by changing the name and style of the corporation
and body politic, and of the location thereof, and
by reducing the amount of its capital, &c. The
name and style of the corporation to be the “State
Bank of Pennsylvania,” to be located in the city
of Philadelphia— : and its capital to be reduced to
a sum not exceeding fourteen millions of dollars.
It is stated that the amount of the claim for
which the Directors of the- U. States Bank have
. brought suit against Nicholas Biddle, is $1,018?-
000. This large sum was paid out during jiis ad
ministration, for which no vouchers can be found
« —four hundred thousand dollars of which, it is
. asserted, were, paid to him for purposes unknown,
upon the checks of the Cashier!
A friend at our elbow wonders whether certain
grave Senators and other high dignitaries of jffio

ruary, 1836, could’nt give some account of the
'.manner in which Mr. Biddle disposed of the above
mentioned sum! „

NATIONAL HONOR.
While tHe blue light presses'are boasting that
Mr* Webster’s correspondence has been received,
"with approbation by “friend and foe,’ 1 we deem it
dur duly to th& public to say, that such is not the
case; however much our “foes’ 1 rosy bo pleased
wltlTthe production, it is far, very far from, receiv
ing the favor of our “friende.” The editor of the
Louisville Advertiser,- believe has stood
by-his country and institutions both in the field of
words and war, thus speaks of the correspondence.
—Baltimore Republican.
How different is the tone of Mr. Tyler and his
Secretary from that maintained by Andrew Jack
son and his administration towards foreign nations!
We no longer feel that our national honor is se
cure, or that we should, if abroad, glory in being
called Americans. We can no longer point with
patriotic pride to the rule of action heretofore .pro
claimed and observed, to ask nothing but what is
right, and to submit to nothing wrong. The Ad
ministration is changed—and the tone, and lofty
bearing of our Government are also changed.
These remarks are not made in a captious spirit.
We feci that the policy of this country has been
too tame—too pacific—especiallyas regards Engr
land.. The haughty “mistress of the seas’? is
again pursuing an aggressive towardslis7
which, instead of being changedfor the better, will
be rendered more intolerable by the encouragement
•her mercenaries will derive from every argument
that may be advanced by our constituted authori
ties, to prove that we should not go to war to ad
just our differences. with other nations. They
persuade themselves that we cannot be kicked into
a war, and therefore give full scope arid verge to
their bullying and ferocious spirit.
National forbearance Was nearly exhausted un
der the late administration. It was known, (hat
as apeople, we are lovers of justice and of peace,
and the irritations springing out of the northeastern
boundary question, the civil war in Canada, and
the capture of several of our vessels near the Afri
can boast, were not-permitted to arouse a spirit of
hostility, or to produce an open rupture between
the two countries—but, when the demand for lhe
release of McLeod came—clothed in imperious
and insulting language—it was believed the time
for resistance had arrived—that the cup of bitter
ness was full to overflowing, and-that the national
honor required that ufirm and unyielding , stand
should be taken in opposition to the aggressive
and> menacing conduct of England. It was in ac
cordance with this view of onr relations that Mr.
Forsyth's notes wore written in answer to the let
ters of Mr. Fox in the case of McLeod; and .wb
sincerely regret-that a change, alihe disheartening
to the patriot and disreputable to the couritry/has
taken place in the tone and bearing of the Admin
of
1 astrous results. ‘Cur tameness is absolutely invi
ting aggression, whilst pur public manifestations
of extreme reluctance to resort to arms, and our
; strange neglect of the national defences,* every
where regarded asjsvidence of a Want of disposi
tion or-ability-to-defend onr-soll;' much Ibss -io

to affect injuriously our national character abroad;
and impair confidence at home hi the purity and
strength of our free institutions.”
Gkn. IlAnnisoN. —The House nf Representa

presented Mrs. Harrisort with $25,000. Mr. Ad
ams, when advocating the grant, said it was as a

during a long electioneering campaign—in other
word’s, to pay elect ton-expenses'. 1 ■■
While .Congress is in its present liberal mood,
we think it might as well refund the $l,OOO line
imposed on Geh. Jackson'— which the old Hero
paid out of his own pocket before he loft the Court,
by Judge Hall, at New Orleans, in
1815—because that judge considered the impris
onment of tkaitors under martial law, a violation
of the' civil laws and the constitution. If Mrs.
Harrison gets a gratuity for money never expend
ed in the public service—ought not Gen. Jackson
to have the money expended by him in that ser
vice repaid him I —Harrisburg Reporter .
Tlie last Herald talks as flippantly about knave
ry, dishonesty and trickery, in connexion, with lire,
Veto power, as if the writer of the articles for that'
print was a paragon of honesty and fair dealing
himself—when it is notorious that the whole digue
who manage the concern, from the Bad,--window
patriot down, are as complete a pack of political
knaves and traitors as could be found on this side
of Newgate! Destitute of honesty themselves—
without principle or conscience—they think every
man, ip the community os corrupt as them
selves—hence the attack upon Gov. Porter for
his fearless exercise of, the veto power against
Federal usurpation and rascality. Censure from
such a rotten and corrupt source, however, will
only redound to the praise of the (.overnor—and
the community need no better evidence of his ster
ling integrity and sound republican principles,
than the attempt at bespattering him from the foul
sewer of that vile and unprincipled cabal. No
honest man need expect praise from that quarter.
The Bohan Upas is 'not more destructive of natu
ral life, in its neighborhood, than is the praise of
that dotested'e/rjue, in the limited circle of its in
lluence, certain-political -death. —Wo sincerely
trust that Gov. Porter may never do an act to
elicit commendation from that quarter.
Jf ever there was a time when the Democratic
party ought to adhere closely to the timc-honpVed
principles of their faith, it is now. Tho govern
ment is in the hands of their ancient enemies—the
slanderers of Jefferson and Madison.: The high
places of power .and trust are filled with men'who
have no feeling in common with the mass of the
people: The honor and dignity of the Republic
are committed .to Hands who have' already dis
graced the nation by yielding to the haughty and
insolent demands of the English Aristocracy:—
An accidental majority in both branches of Con
gress, are the willing and suppliant instruments of
a corrupt cabinet; and if the people do not shake
off the lethargy which has unhappily taken hold
of them, the liberties of the country will exist only
■in name, and the freemen of-this great Republic
be bound hand and foot, and they and their posteri
ty sold into bondage to the money changers. The
times are indeed portentous; the chains arc even
now being forged in Congress to'manacle the
Working classes—and unless the voice of a betray
ed and indignant people thunders at the Capitol,
and-frightens the tyrants from their purpose, a
worse than Turkish despotism will be established
on the funis of the Republic.
phis is ho fancy sketch. Look at the proceed
ings .in Congress—-at the efforts made to stifle de
bate,'and'prevent the. Democratic members from
exposing the designs’ of Messrs. *Webster, Ewing,
Clay, dud their :wilUhg coadjutors: Look at the
indecent haste, made toilrepeal the Constitutional
Treasury, and establish another, mammoth Bank
in its place; yorae, if possible, in its features than
the Biddle Banki View the effortp made to Cre
ate another national debt Of thirty millions, arid
that too.in a time of profound peace... Reflect on
these things, and the hundred other projects which
are yet in embryo—ah'd then bay/if you can, that
no danger to our republican institutions.*
* The glorious work of redeeming the govern
ment from the hands of the spoilers, cannot begin
a day too soon. The men of *76 did not sit quiet
ly down and patiently wail till the galling chains
of slavery were riveted upon their* limbs. No.—
They roused themselves liko men; They remon
strated with their tyrant rulers; They thundered
in the ears of their oppressors, “liberty or death”
—and they determined on opposition to the tyranni
cal laws indicted by their cruel task-masters, at,
all hazards. And shq]| we, , the descendants of
these patriotic men, not imitate the glorious exam
ple! Assuredly we will. Then let your ,voic6 be
heard at the present crisis. Remonstrate with the
powers that be. ' Give them to understand that
you are not yet willing to be enslaved by a monied
Oligarchy. Prbclaim “war to the knifo” against
all' their unconstitutional enactments—and let
them ’know*, that you will never for a moment
copse your opposition until every vestige of Fed
eral despotism is destroyed.
From present appearances the Democrats will
have the celebration of-dur national independence
■entirely to themselves this year, in this neighbor
hood—our opponents, so far we we can learn, not
being able to “raise the wind.” They were to.
hold an .adjourned meeting at Macfarlane’s, on'*
Saturday evening last, for the purpose of making
arrangements; but wo learn that ihecontemplaled
meeting was a total failure —tho old Bi-Colonel
being the only person in attendance! Wonderful
the “change that has come o’er the spirit of their
dream!” Twelve months ago, and the mongrels
were able to dispute the question of numerical
strength with the Democrats—now their patriotism
has so far abated, that they cannot raise even a
corporal’s guard to do honor to tho day ! Whence
comes this lethargy, or what is the cause of this
extraordinary change in the feelings of.the Feder
alisls!Cyriiey have had “TYp” in tho chair of

also a large majority of their friends in both
branches of- Congress; To r all appearances they ,

should be in the hey-day .of prosperity—then why.
Wo ask again, this amazing dullness in their party!

. Carlisle, July 1, 1841.
Mr. Editor :
• In almost every community there exists a class
of men who wage a war of extermination against
all preachers, denouncing'them indiscriminately,
the good and thebad, the sincere and the hypo
critical, the worthy and the unworthy, Us a set of
arrant importers., In Carlisle there may boTound
a few of these persons, who appear to have sworn
eternal hostility against all ministers of tho Gos
pel, if you can judge of their motives from the un
compromising opposition which they manifest to
wards them. From a particular and isolated in
stance’ of incompetoncy or- unworthiness, they
draw the moat sweeping and general conclusions
against the entire profession;— ex tind disce omnes
is tho motto inscribed upon their banner. Such'a
course of argument vanishes before the test of rea
son and common sense. That ministers
of tho gospel whose mental as-well as moral quali-
them to discharge the sacred func
tions .of their calling, is a truth which I am not
disposed to controvert; but who would conclude
from thence that all preachers are impostors-and
hypocrites. The science of the law is' a dignified
and honorable pursuit, and yet every county town
within the limits of the State'can produce its hec
toring pettifogger skilled jn the quirks* and quib-‘
bles of the law. So also in medicine every village
has its empirick. ~I presume, however, that no
one will draw as a legitimate deduction .from
thence, that all lawyers are knaves, .or that all
doctors are quacks. *
With these preliminary remarks, I wish to pro
pound a question. Why is it that ascertain Min
ister of the Gospel in Carlisle, whoso name I
shall not mention, but whose identity may readily
be detected from what follows, has incurred the
displeasure and resentment of certain persons in
the borough! Why do they inyeigli so fiercely a
gainst him! Why pour forth the vials of their
wrath upon his devoted head! One would really
suppose*, judging from the denunciations of these
creatures, that the gentleman in question was more
fit for the pillory than the pulpit—that he had vio
•iktqAtfikgh? ? 41aa h.o_

disgraced Uimselt. by becoming an
(idroit and scheming nioney shaver / / thobe pests of
society^—those scourges of the poor but honest
men! "WMioarc the assailants of this gentlenyin!
Are they njen of high minded, honorable notions!
Men of respectability and influence in society? or
aro they .not the hangers on about your barrooms!,
—the genteel. loafers of whom this borough can
produce so goodly a number!—that class of men
in society whose ill will is more desirable than
their friendship. ' f -
Some of these minister-hating and church-ab
horring characters justify their -opposition to the
gentleman referred to bn the grpund of his being
a politician. But is this lrue!--Who m Carlisle
ever saw him at the polls! Who evter heard «hira
make a political harangue! Who ever knew him
to exercise the privileges of the Ballot Box! Who
will give an affirmative answer to these questions!
The man who would attempt to stifle in the per
son of a minister of the Gospel the right of con
science is an enemy to the liberties of his country.
Milton declared that the greatest of all liberties
was the liberty to think for one’s self. I have been
a close observer of this gentleman’s conduct sinco
his residence in Carlisle, and I certainly have'seen
nothing in it worthy of reprehension. I would bo
the last man to raise my arm to shield him from
merited censure. It is not my purpose to be his
panegyrist: the actioris of a man speak louder
than the most highly wrought eulogy. I will say,
however,, that his indomitable zeal as a minister*
of religion should command the respect of every
virtuous member of society. - I-admire him for his
toleration—his liberal ancL. enlarged principles—
the genuine spirit of lrue«christianity that charac
terizes his views on religion. Enthusiastic in the
cause, I never knew him to indulge in those bitter
invectives against those who worship .at a differ
ent altar, which in this enlightened age so. fre
quently disgrace the pulpit. It were well that
some other ministers of Carlisle would imitate his
example in this respect. Like Massillon’s beau
ideal of a preacher, he is serious in his sermons,
speaking for the sake of his hearers and not for his
own; —seeking their salvation and not his own
vain glory. His disinterested efforts in the tem
perance cause too are surely worthy of all com
mendation. Although tho Rum and Whiskey
boys may denounce him for infringing.upon what
they esteem their unalienable rights, yet-will.he
receive tho approbation of the good, and virtuous;!
the highest reward that can attend the labors of
any man.
Thus much at present. I shall pay a special
regard to the persons alluded to in these remarks,
and may hereafter read them a lecture which they
will not readily forgot. ’ * .

from Mr. Secretary Ewing's. Mr. Ewing recom
mends that branches be established in the differ

that they ought to be established without asking
the consent of the States! Mr. day’s plan is to
make the States mere colonial dependencies of the

relatives and acquaintances in this borough.
A How nearly is pleasure allied to pain!—Truly,
ih the midst of life, wo are in death. This is
flVednesday—and on Saturday last, our once asso
ciate and mutual friend, Mrs. oAUAIi Mathews,
h.ad a reasonable prospect of a protracted and
pleasant life; but now she lies a lifeless corpse, and
most heartily do I pray to Almighty God, that my
latter end may be liße her’s.—O how triumphantly
she defeated the King of Terrors,' and rejoiced in
the full assurance of enjoying the happiness of her
Saviour’s love.—M. U (her Pastor) . said, a
more glorious death-bed scene than lier’s present
ed, he had never witnessed. She was mild—she
was calm—and the placid smile that dwelt upon
Her countenance, while living, remained as an evi
dence of her purity, snd her peace within.
“Shortly’before she 'closed her oyes-in death,
when told by her Physicians.that she was rapidly
sinking, no emotion of terror—no shock, not mur
mur, was by her in the slightest degree evinced
—for Death, as to her, ImdTost his sling.”
