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,

wo suppose not, of course., Tho Signor has been out
ia Cnlifornia,obout two years, and was, as he declares
himself, the first discoverer of the gold, do has got
tired making money so fust, and now wishes.to do
it on u more moderate scale, by tho sale of his little
book and instrument. 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. Wo advise all parsons going to

RAILROAD FROM YOAK TpHARRWBOBO.
•We observe,by the BaUimore paper*that a stren
uous •cfforl.is being; made in that oily 'to ra'iso funds
sufficient to insure, the speedy -completion of-.a ’rail
road from, York -to 'Harrisburg.V This inipoflant
link-in the chain of tiommanioatfon' between this
fertile valley and that city, when finished, will give
Baltimore , a continuous rail road to Chamborsburg
and Hagerstown, and at the same time to Pittsburg,
by lapping tho Central rail road through the medium
oflho Cumberland Valley road. '
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. VVc will,perhaps,
recur to this subject again. .

MR. OAMIOtNtS ADDRESS TO THfi SOUTH*
Mr. Calhoun’s Address jo the South appeared in
tho Washington Union ofrMondoy last. ; It.makes
four columns, and opens with a history of the wrongs
of iho'South, which, it is asserted, she lias sustained
relative to her fugitive slaves, is defiance of the gua
rantees'of the Constitution. 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.
Entertaining thesß opinions, we earnestly entreat
you to bo unitbd«\drtHjiftfti' that purpose adopt all n<j*
coasary measures.’ 'Tpjyoiul this.wo think it would
n6l bo proper to go” fat present. .VVoJiopo, If you
should unilO'with anything like unanimity, It moy of
Itself apply a remedy to this deep-ssalod and dan
gerous disease; but if such should not bo the cusc,
the lime will then have come for you to. decide what
course to adopt.”
Tho vole for tho address wos 42 to 17. The fol.
lowing aro the nays: Messrs. Berrien, Metcalf,
Underwood,’Johnson.of Lousiana, Rusk of Texas,
Houston of-Texas, Pendleton of N. C., Preston,
Clingham, Toombs, Stephens, Hilliard, Mprobcad,
Cocke, Cabell, Roman and Chapman.,
The address of Mr. Berrien is similar Ib lho aboVc
in the rehearsal of grievances sustained by tho South,
only rather more .moderate in its tone, and is ad
dressed people of tho United States, whilst that
of Mr. Calhoun is addressed to tho South exclusively.
The concluding portion of Mr. Berrien’s address is,
of course, altogether different from the extract above
given.; . * • .
TllE CONSPIRACY OP THE GIRLS.
. 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. I but mention it as a touch
ing incident in tho history of. tho present matter—a
scene from (ho drama in which, by quick shifting,
there is a lifo and a death I,
