BANK BULB. It. would teem from present' appearances, that the good old Slate of Pennsylvania ia.to.be bound, under the manacles of bank.rulefor another ten years a!t least. All .thp reforms'in llus success- fully begun under the lamented Shrunk, are to bo rendered of np avail, through the.'present Federal •Governor, tho domiaattcy tff the Whig party in the. •Senate, and the .traax&ory of a fdw recreant Dime, crate in the House of Representatives.

Wo havo no faith in such expedients. Belter, fur better, make the appropria tions desired and levy a tax at once to pay for them, than thus to tamper with the dearest rights of the' people. They despise oil such prevarication and duublo dealing. They are willing to pay taxes, for honest purposes, but they arc not anxious to be rob bed first by swindling banking operations* and after wards ground to tlio earth to pay tho expenses of tho debauch, which these very means have superinduced. We stili hope that the Legislature will pause, be fore they pass the acts that uro now !h embryo, ll ihc professed Democrats of the loVver House will .not stand between the people and their enemies, wo Iropc that there are Whigs in that Hobso who ore not so utterly lost, to all sense of sonhd legislation, as to permit the wholesome policy of the Slate on the subject of banking, to retrograde. All parlies have an interest in a sound currency. Let the small note project bo defeated, and \h‘d bills of a less denomina- tion than five dollars of the banks of the other States be banished from circulation by suitable penalties. Let the greasy, ragged, and unconstitutional relief issues also be withdrawn, and the people of the Coin, monweuitli will say “well done good and faithful sorvanls,” ' TU& INAUGURAL ADDRESS* Tn our last we published the Inaugural Address of ■Gen. Taylor; The Address is commendable for one tiling—its brevity—but for .nothing else. Like moat of-Gen. Taylor's writings, it is non-committal—a perfect milk and water production. In relation' to the policy ho Intends to pursue, he is silent as the grave. He tells ns* to-be-sure, that he will support the Constitution! .Well, perhaps he will. Ho ‘is 1 sworn to support the Constitution, and will be liable to impeachment If he refuses to obey its wise provi sions. But, on tho other hand, ho is pledged against the use of the veto power. If, then,Congress Should pass unconstitutional laws—which has happened, and will, no doubt, again hi( pen—will he then use tho constitutional power veated in him, and save the Constitution? What a position isGon.-Taylolr.ini! He pledges himself to support Ulo Constitution, and backs that pledge witli an oath of office, and yet should Congress violate that sacred instrument* Gon. T. is also pledged agrijnsl the Use oflhfaVelo power, and thus will he sanction the unconstitutional act of Congress. Thei fact is the President mull violate Ins word in regard to one or the other of the positions he has assumed, lie can’t carry out his pledges far and against the Constitution both ut Hid same lime. Gen. Taylor has managed to slip into the Presi dential chair, by observing a strict neutrality in re* gurd to the great questions of government. Previous to the election ho. Was all things to all men—ho was supported in the South by slave-holders and slave dealers, because they believed him a man after their own hearts—a friend to (ho “ peculiar institution of tho South,”, and opposed to tho so-called Wilmot Proviso. In the northern and New England Slates, ' his friends held him up as tho friend of the Proviso, and opposed to the extension of slavery, fid it was in relation to every other question before (he people. Gen. Taylor, according to the pledges of his friends, was both for and against every question agitated.— By this kind, of trickery, and by a free use of cant phrases, such as “Old Zack never surrenders,” a Wil lie more grape, Copt. Bragg,” “old Whitoy,” &c., I was Geh. Taylor elected. ' ’ If wo may judge from President Taylor’s Inau gural Address, ho would still no doubt like to slide along as quietly as' possible, without taking part hi any of tho-great national questions. But, he will soon discover his error in attempting to pursue so pusillanimous a course. He occupies a position now where ho Witl .bo forced to “show his hand.” Ho mnsl soon be known as the friend or foe to tho Wll- Imol Proviso, tho sub.Trcasury, National Dank, tho Veto Power, and all other Important questions. We shall toon know whether ho was sincere when lie said that in the event of him occupying the Execu tive chair he would be tho “ people’s President,” and would proscribe no man on aceonnt of his politics— wo shall sto! , The BleatinvM of Pc(lerall«m**A.lClclc at the j Dead JLtou* THE INDIANS WITHIN THE XT. S. TBIUU- TOaißli Now tljat Ihd campaign of 1848 is over, and Gen. Taylor fairly.seated in the Presidential bhalr-for the next four years, a breathing spell is afforded us, ; Whifch (nay ndlimproptfrly be.employed in bringing up tome manors not directly connoted with politics. Byllfts Wo 46 not mean that wo shall acquiesce in ovdty rnoksate ofthe now administration—while wo promise io support all that may bo good in it,its faults and errors will meet with no connivance in tin's quarter. But wo must wail for events—for acts. Tho DOW governmenL has had.no opportunity as yet of originating moasaros,and nntil il dpcsorlg* inate something 1 , wo may appropriately return to fcpme features of the glorious past; Tor wo firmly believe chat no administration has equaled in splcn. dor and importance that of. President Polk. This week .wo wish to'devote a brief spaed to the Indians within the territories Oflho United Stales. For our facta we are indebted ‘fd the aMo Popart of \V. Mb t>iLL, Esq.,Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Romoldy as Wo are situated from the North Amer ican tribes, oar interest in them seems to diminish with the in'etoabe of our distance from them. Tho growing character of onr mighty civilization shuts them almost entirely from our view* Ask utmost any business man of our times a question in reference to the present condition of the Indians, and it is like* ly ho will tell you ho has never thought of the subject, since he quit studying his school geography. But is it right that so Interesting a portion of our popu lation should bo thus overlooked In tho old world the best scholars arc exhausting oVcry topic oflnfor. mation, ransacking cVcry record, and Incuring vast expense, to develops the manners and history of that mysterious being, the Gipseyl and wo are glad that 1 the indifference just mentioned is not universal, for already “the Indian traditions are being compared and anufytedl much information is .obtained from; persons yof living, who have spent tho greater par* I tion of a long life, among different tribes, and made themselves acquainted with many interesting points In their history, habits,-customs and observances," I which will bo u of singular interest to all who have been or may be hereafter fed to reflect Upon tho doc- of the aborigines of this continent.” It is a mcWcholy thought that the European and American races cun not dwell iu proximity to each other. The fact constitutes an anomaly in history. Tho Northern hordes of Europe, when they poured dowft upon tho South-, imparled new vitality to the old enervated stock. The swarthy jSlltioplun and tho pale aristocratic Virginian flourish equally well on the same plantation t and 6o faros foreign emi grants are concerned, our own appears u Vast theatre of denationalization, where dialects are soon forgotten,arid people, “like kindred drops mingled Into one.” Mr. Medtll in his report endeavors to uc* count for the exception as to the Indians: “Stolid and unyielding in his nature,and rnvete rutcly wedded to the savage habits, busluims and prejudices In which lie has been reared and trained, it is seldom the case that the full blood Indian of our hemisphere can, in immediate juxtaposition with a while population, bo bruughl-farther within tho pule of civilization than to adapt Its vlci s; under the cor rupting influences of which, too indolent to labor, and too weak to resist, ho soon sinks into misery and despair. The incqualily of his position in all (hat secures dignity and. respect u top glaring, and. the contest he haft to make with tho superior taco with which Ire Is brought into contact, in all tho avenues to success and prosperity in life, is 100 unequal to hope for a belter result. Tho collision is to him a positive evil.” *fhus il would seem lhat (ho close contiguity of tht two races induces desperation in llic carccr of the red man. It then becomes a serious question—How shall the difficully.be met?—-and for years Christians and philanthropists have exerted themselves to devise a system by which at the same tttnc tiJp*ondiU«r ol the Indian may be improved, and the tendency- to cltertnidalldn attested; Inquiry and experhncrl involved the. following plan“ The colonisation ■ oj our Indian ttibeo for tome years htyoml the reach oj otir white population ; confining each (tribe) within a small district of country, so that, as the game dc brbafics, Ihd adults will gradually ho compelled to re* sort to agriculture aHtl other kinds of labor, to obtain a subsistence* in which did may bo afforded uqd fa cilities furnished them out of the means obtained by the sate ofllielr fofmet possessions.’* 'the plan also embraces a system iHanbul labor and oilier schools, in which the youth of both sexes are to bo Instructed in the mechanic* Useful and do mcstlo arts—thus preparing them foV the duties of lliair respective spheres in life. It is pleasant to know that an increasing desire prevails among them for the means of education, {formerly many of the tribes refused to admit schools in their districts; but since they have witnessed the benefits ensuing from Intellectual culture, they, are how coming forword, soliciting their speedy Introduction, nnd offering part of their moans id support (hem. UioGhlcka saws appropriated 812,000 from the Interest of (heir stock,and thoCrockslhc entire products arising from the sale uf (heir orphan lands. Among the whole tribes there are 1G manual labor schools, embracing 809 scholars—s 77 males, and 232 females. There are also 87 boarding eoliools, containing 2873 pupils, of which 2073 are mules, and 800 females. They are In a prosperous condition, and supplied with competent instructors who love their.situation and their work.

His strictures, generally, arc so obviously i ungenerous and unjust us to deserve a passing notice, lest an impression n\ay bo created abroad, prejudicial to tho Society. At the outset 11 Observer” disclaims anything like censure, and professes to bo purely didactic,or in Ms own words, to throw out ‘'Mitruc live hints. 1 * In this philanthropic purpose ho com* (nonces at tho first speech and proceeds regularly through to tho lust, alternately Knocking down and sotting up his subjects, bestowing first a kind remark and then u kick, from first to last Inclusive, leaving not one unscathed! This is not censure of course! Tho strain in which he animadverts upon the Anil speech and speaker is so-incorrect and unkind-ns almost to stamp with malice and ignorance the dis. ingonomyiulhor of this communication. Fiist the speaker is rated for embarrassment and a momentary failure of his memory, and then again forsooth, ho It rated far “ too much confidence.” la this romon-'br Is it one of those «instructive hints,” promised In the premises. the speaker is charged with wandering from ins subject, “ one moment oncoun* taring a Spanish Knight or Granadian high ptivalo, at tho next .among the clouds,” &o. Now it happens, most unfortunately, that tho pas* logo upon which (liis accuaalion restsi was a mere episode In (ho speech,- Introduced only as an illustra* lion, a practice not unfrequont with the best public writers and speakers. Thus this supposed fault, is In reality only the inexcusable neglcctTmd ignorance of tho critic, to the subject ho aflfcoltf ta Ueut. “Ills last exclamation cupped the olimaX and gained him no mean reputation as an actor of low comedy.” »*lf a stylo of speaking vehement and impetuous,” con. stitute qualifications for comedy, then wo have been mistaken nn the subject; but if,as Is really tho case, (hey. form no part of such qualifications, “Observer” confutes himself, and out of Ms own mouth is con* dcmticd, - It is sufficient for tho speaker to know, Shocking Steamboat Disaster.— By the Now that his performance is considered creditable to him- Orlo.n. 4l|. inst-. wo loom that .on the .lightly mutilated evening of the 2d mst.a terrible expiation took place by .tho sixth speaker.” What precise quality of onboard the steamboat Woodsman, on her passuge censure this expression involves, or whether any from New Orleans lb tho Red River, as she was lea- particular moaning attach to it may well bo doubted. ,i„g „ T „ Sara, Both Hoc, of the ..Vbu.rd Loilor^' ‘ij oojlapacd; and the steam passed entirely through tho praise, lie censures the speaker for his juvenile ap. < main dcok, which was crowded with deck passengers, peurance—truly a henious fault!—and “damns him Three woro killed outright, and several others wore ' MM pralso,” by saying that ho contains “some missing. amongst ll,u lutlor one of tho onginoor. of B P Q “' t « r -” | ™..po.kor wo. unusually tho bout Twenly-Hvo others were dreadfully ocol-, f,co [ ,0 P 110 /, 1u , 1 ' llle Incxporlwood-Oh. ..nil dod,.omo of whom must dlu from tholr lltjftrlo.- mc " “ “ nd l , l,<u 'ff l |" T ro delivered..with four or fivo of them oorlulnly.

Representatives on Wednesday last, the.bill extending the Farmers* and Mechanics' I Bank, of Philadelphia, passed that body by a Vote of, iyeas 53,nays ,3D—five professed Democrats voting I with tho Federalists. The bill, as passed, is in a'o* cordance with (he wishes of those interested*—lt ccta tains no individual liability clause, and tttdced n 6 restrictions 'of any consequence whatever. It is not often thutwe have occasion to find fadft with the public acts of men known as Democrats.— But when there are traitors in tho camp, it is the xluty of every Democratic editor to.expose them, and •poiilt out lhe guilty v ' i. * - When, ohr . Slate Legislature assembled, the fifty Democratic, members of the lower House acted in t ’Concert—union and.harmony appeared to prevail in t all their councils.;: By thus acting together they so* . cured tho election of ,a'Democratic Speaker, as woH as all other offiuerrs of *tho House. For. many weeks every thing went well-f-the "glorious continued true to themselves, true to .their constituents, and true to the fi'rcal principles of the Democratic parly. For their fidelity they received the congratulations of every (rue Democrat within the borders of tho Slate—the Democratic press, with unanimous voice, were loud in applauding their noble effbrU to sustain the honor and the principles of the Democratic party. But, ulus, what a change! The tempter, with stealthy slop, at length appeared within the'halls of the Legislature. Bink bdr’eVS on A batik minions flocked to Harrisburgj arid, with falsehood on their tips and .treason in thoir hearts, approached those members who were most likely to listen to (heir cor* rupt and dangerous propositions. Still tho fifty De mocratic members appeared IVJ fetaiVd firm, and it was hoped and believed (hat ‘‘bank Influence 1 " could not sway thoir minds or corrupt thoir hearts. But, in these sanguine oipc'CtulloriS the people have again been deceived. FiVK members of tho lower House have been seduced from their political faith; and hi the hour of danger joined ’the ‘enemy * In another arti cle wo give lliclr nanlcS. We hope to see every in dependent Democratic proas In the Stale speak out in bold denunciation of these faithless, venal, corrupt; and soif-dumned traitors, i'hby have disgraced them* < selves and their constituents—and the finger of scorn < will point them out, as those deserving the contempt \ of' all honest men. Ihty may consider, themselves amply rewarded for their treachery and black-hearted . hypocrisy, but their consciences will upbraid tlicni to tile lust hour of life. We envy not tho feelings of the five representatives alluded to—they will be simi lar to those experienced by Burr, Arnold, and other traitors, Foreign Nows* The news by the America Is of the most favorable character, especially in a commercial light. Tile advance In cotton promises well for our great South, cm interest, and indeed for. the whole country; while the activity in the manufacturing districts of Eng- Imd assures us that this rise in our great staple is not a mere affair of the moment. Everything abroad looks favorable to trade and finance. How different ly tlie prfaftbnt aspect of things in Europe from what they were a year ago, when each successive steamer brought gloomy pictures oflhS condition of.busiacss, and the horizon loomed llireatingly J Nor is (he political intelligence .less pleasing.—, Order is gradually being restored on thoacontiiient, and confidence as a icsult is reigning. The Fiehch Assembly has been dissolved. . The popularity and power of Louis Napoleon is consolidating. The effect of these appearances of stability in llio, great centre of revolution is to soothe and quiet agitation over the'entire continent.' The desire of a rational, constitutional and practicable liberty, is every where succeeding (ho wild visions of the socialists. The only speck on this brightening horizon is the atti tude of Russia.
