In tfoe course of those remarks, Col.

A NATIONA] We are in tho habit of hearing incorrigible Fede ralists still whispering that the establishment of a National Bank would be the best measure that could bo adopted for the good of the alike of tile-principles of free government, - arid the lessons of experience. Thiro aro 'men'who believe that such an institution is tho only panacea for poll I. leal ills, and who will never yield to the promptings of equal and exact justice, whenever any ’measure conflicts with their longstanding political prejudices. It is well'to refer such persons, especially on this subject, lo the past—to the history oflho country os connected with a National'Bank. And when wo consider that many of the evils and abuses of a "monied monster" were known and appreciated at a comparatively early day in tho political history ol the nation, it seems almost incredible with what a bold front and frowning mien, its advocates deman. ded its prolongod exislcnce. Up lo tho lime It en. countered Jackson, it bad mot no foe woilhyof its steel—no enemy that it could not either seduce with its blandishments or intimidate with its menaces.— Had it been re-chartered in 1832 it would have proved too strong for tho people, and. bound the re* public hand and fool. But a kind Providence sent a deliverer, and ilia truth hath now made tho people free, . In looking over abrief synopsis oflho proceedings of Congress, as found in the Ist vol. of lho"/Vji/adej. phia Register and National Recorder ,” page 76, for the year.lBl9, thirty years ago, soon after the com* mericcinent of the second life of this modern harlot, there occurs'tho following, viz: "Jan. 16.—The committee appointed to investigate the proceedings of tho Bank of tho United States, made Every perspicuous report* Some oflho Direc tors of this institution appear from the report, lo have been deeply engaged in stock-jobbing, and it was be lieved by tho committee, that sonic of the measures of tho board were adopted not with a view to the pcrmanonlirilorcsl of.tho institution, but lonffectthe price of bank stock. The committee considers the charier to have been violated in four-instances, and I that (he bank has neglected, whan it was m its pow er to correct tho evils arising, from excessive issues of tho Slate banks, and.has increased those evils by improper issues of its own notes. 1 * And yet after all this, tho bank wai whitewashed, and when its charter was about expiring by lapse ol lime, it Ijjerally took possession of the government* compassed sea and land, and commenced "revolutions bloodless as yet,** to force tho American people to renew powers which It hud so grossly abused, and which had proved so dangerous to their liberties. It is d strange, and perhaps a happy coincidence, that at the very lime these charges were brought against tho bank in Congress, in 1810, General An drew Jackson was censured by some members of that body for his conduct In the Florida campaign, and especially as regarded the.trial,-by Court Mdr> tial, and execution.of Arburthmol and Amhrisstcr. The General came on to Washington to meet these charges, and it may hare, been that circumstance that enabled him to. be so well acquainted with the corruptions and malpractices of such an institution. It !s not unimportant to remark that those members of Congress who were exceedingly solicitous about giving Spain the slightest, cause of complaint, ond strongly advocated the censure of Jacksow for what they termed his “illegal ond arbitrary conduct,*’ wore equally active in defending the bank in Us Tea* (firing rcorruplions. Ilbtf striking the conduct of Federalism then, when stripping with one hand the laurels from the brow of who had faithful ly and efficiently served his country, and with the other casting the mantle of charity over stealthy and wicked frauds committed by an overgrown and haughty corporation. In a mind like that of Jack son's— clear, strong and upright—such conduct and such contrasts must have produced a marked effect, [low much may the people of this country owe to the fact of the persecutions visited on the head of the lot Jackson, at .this particular crisis of his own his country's history? How much may they i be indebted for the arbitrary and tyrannical ex- ibilion of Federalism then?* To tho truthful histo- rian and the faithful delineator of cause and effect, the coincidence wo have slated might bo a fruitful subject for meditation and enlargement. THE “GOLPOMETEfI.” The grealcil instrument of modern invention Is certainly the "Goldometcrand the greatest book tho "Gold Seekers Guide,”—the one invented and the* other by a certain Signor Jose Dk Alveah, lof Now York.

This is certainly commenda ble in tho Signor, and tho desire ho manifests to point out the rich “ plums” to those who havo not yet made fortunes, partakes very much of tho spirit I 1 of philanthrophy.

' lL BANK. Tho contcmplatcd'road runs along the west side of the,Susquehanna, and intersects the Cumberland Valley road at tho western end of its bridge., Tlio business of our valley,alone would justify the ma king of tho road, and render the stock, valuable, as it would make Baltimore the market for all our'‘produce, and that city would again bo the centre of the Cum berland trade, as it Was before tho days of rail roads. This route .to Baltimore will havo these advantages over that to Philadelphia.—lst. Tho distance will bo some 12 or .15 miles shorter, find. There are ho bridges to dross, while on the other route there are the Susquehanna and Schuylkill bridges to paps over. 3d. .It avoids tho inclined planet and 4ih, tiro tolls and freight on the .Maryland?roads are much lower than.on the Harrisburg ana c PorlsmoulU road* or on' the Pennsylvania Stale road. To show tho importance to Baltimore of our valley trade, ulone. it may bo mentioned' that with the. very imperfect flat bar road belonging to the Cumberland Valley Company, their receipts havo been steadily increasing—a few years back they were but from $60,000 to $70,000 per annum'; whereas fortbo.last two years they have exceeded sloo,ooo' for eabh year, and it is but reasonable to suppose that .'with a substantial iron road their receipts would be very largely increased; and we are pleased to.learn the' Company intend, during the next summer and. fall, laying down in tho most substantial manner from Harrisburg to Chamborsburg, a T rail of 56 Ibs» to the yard. We are sol surprised- at tho okcrllons that have been made to gel under contract a road from Ports mouth to Colunibia, nor at the communications in tho Philadelphia papers adverse to the road from York to Harrifburg. <Thoy arc intended to discour age the Baltimoreans* and prevent their completing a road that is of vUal imporlanco to their city—but this very anxlcly. on the parl’of the citizens of Phila delphia, farnytot 1 a strong reason"to the sagacious Baltimore<yflHwsevcre with and finish this road from Tho interests of Phila- and so too arc those of the Har- rood; for if the road from York to is made, not only will they loose, a great portion of the trade and travel of Cumberland Valley, but the Central,rail road will bo lopped by. a road in tho hands of Baltimoreans and of those hav ing an interest in tho city of Baltimore; On the other hand, if the projected road from York to Harrisburg bo abandoned, Baltimore may despair of securing the trade of this valley,*even though the road from Portsmouth ,lo Columbia bo. completed; for the distance lb Baltimore by that route will bo ps great an the distance to Philadelphia, \nwtho disadvantage of crossing Hie long bridges at Harris burg and Columbia with-horses, and the delays nec essarily attendant on IhisStonslant shifting from horse to locomotive power, Which would occur five times between Baltimore arid Carlisle*- Whereas by the York and Harrisburg rail road the same engine could, if necessary, tako a train of cais'from Cham* borsburg to Baltimore, and tho citizens of Baltimore roach tho Central rail road by a road in their Own control. ’ Those Interested in the Cumbertind'.Vtflloy road know the vast importance tho road from ifqdt bridge to York would be to tills section of (ho oounlry, and in all probability, would embark largely In the enlcr prize, but they have just laid, out about $lOO,OOO in the construction of their now bridge over llwSusquo- hona, and will have to expend some $300,000, more during the ensuing summer and fall, for the new Iron track from Harrisburg to Cliambersburg,, The two together almost equal tho amount required for the road from York to Harrisburg.

Then folibws a history of the aggressions -on the Southern institutions at-; tempted in. the time of tho Missouri Compromise, thiS.gfoas inequalities and injuries invoked by tho Wilmol proviso, and calls the atten- tion of tho people to other unwarranted measures Which havo been agitated during the present session of Congress, and concludes as follows^ ♦* With such a prospect before us, the greatest and most solemn that ever claimed the attention of a people; tlio question Tor us to consider at present is what is tU bo done to prevent it. It is a question belonging to. you to decide. A|l wo propose is to give you our opinion.. Wo then are of opinion that the first and indispensable step, without .which nothing can bo done, and with which every thing cur be done, is union among yourselves in this great and jmost vital question. The .yvant of union.and concert ia reference to that question has brought the Southern portion.of oar. Union and-our system of government into their present perilous condition.— If.you become united>and prove yourselves in oar nest, the North will bo!.brbught to a pau6c and to a calculation of the consequences, and that may lead to of measures, and the adoption of a course of'policy that may quietly and peaceably terminate this long conflict',between tho two sections. If It should not, remain for you but_ to stand up immovably/in defence of rights involving oil our property, prosperity, equality, liberty and safety. As the assailed, you would stand justified by alUaw, human and divine,,in.repelling the dan gerous blow withottt looking to the consequences, and to resort' to all means, necessary for that purpose.— Your assailants und not you would bo. responsible for the consequences that'might ensue.

Many of our, readers have heard of tho trial of tho factory girls of Pittsburg fdr conspiracy. Col. S. VV. Buck was one of tho counsel for the -defence, and. acquitted himself with hiS usual ability. The Pitts burg Post gives the following extracts from his speech: - It appears from tho testimony that-one Thomas Love was originally a defendant with those now on trial. Ho has not been in Court at this term. Nor has-the proof, in its amplified anxiety to gratify a convicting desire, once mentioned.his name m con notion with the scenes of that eventful day. All men, all women, all children, seen .through a glass darkly, or indentified; by indirect observation, are. given out by name. Whether charged in the bill of indictment or not, wo have had them here in testi mony; Early in August, Thomas Love was arrested on the oath of the prosecutor, and being friendless, was imprisoned. In prison ho lingered and lingering did languish. In November ho was brought from jail into court and discharged,without security. By tho help of one or two who were present, ho loitered from the Court House to a prepared shelter. In five days he died of a blasted body and broken spirit— ho died of the prosecutor’s oath! I will not linger in tho suburbs of his grave; ndr ask you;, in fancy, to look into the tomb of the first victim* The counsel who is .to follow might repeat that this is a part of the game of sympathy to bo played off in tho cause.
