COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT. AUGUST 21, 1844. A National Bank the Whig Issue. The speech of Mr. White, of Indiana, to the yotlng vhig9 of Nop York, to which wo have had several occas'nns to tllude, has been published, as written 311 1 and corrootcd by the author; and we "subjoin those passages tclalivc to a Hank which were cither slurred over or omil tod altogothcr.in the reports of tho whig newspapers. It is, wo think, worth quoting at length, especially as our co lempornriea on the other side, with the exception perhaps of Mr. Clays's imme tlialo organ, tho Louisville Journal, arc bo very guarded on this point, that they may be said lo have 'no principles foi tho public eye,' and are, as Mr. Froling liuyscn reproachfully remarks, 'afraid to talk' of one of their main purposes. It (s a comfort then, to tho people, thai there are some such politicians in the ranks of our opponents, as Mr. While proves himself to be men of a candid ingenuous spirit who disdain bush fight ing and skulking in darknesx,and do noi hesitate, when the moment requires, it, to kay plainly what their real intentions happen to be. It is not long sinco that Mr. Willoughby Nowton, a whig mom ier of Congress, in a public letter, re mroached his party associates for (licit moral cowardice and political treachery in playing a false garrfa about this mat ter, and now Mr. White takes them to lank in tho same way. Pcnnsylva nian. "Again, the whig par.ty proposes fot the adoption of the electors of the coun tty, the distribution qf the proceeds of the public lands, and that old and limr honored issuo of a National Rank. To these the democratic creed does not fur rush any antagonistic measures of an oflirmativo character. I am awaio thai in pronouncing the Hank to be an isstn now, I run counter to the views of poli cy enteitained by a portion it is to be 'hoped an inconsiderable portion of my own parly in this slate; but whalevei 'course these gentlemen may deem 11 proper to adopt for tho conducting ot this camnaitn however much ther 'may bo disposed lo state falsely new tnyseif, I must be perrnYlleuHoad vocaie -whig policy as it ever has been and as it is, and to stand again upon tho old issue of a National Bank. (Great cheering.) " 1 know theio are soma Whig poltli -cian, and I pause hero to mako the re mark out of the regular order of the dis cusaion and to me it is a source of deep regret that there are some who take all occasions to proclaim that they are not in favor of any measure for the regula 'tion ol the currency. Jhese men at tempt to defraud the people into voting for Mr. Clay, on tho criund that the hank question is not one of the issues of j844j and I say it to this audience on 'my responsibility as a whig, that when ever a whig orator approaches you will) that declaration on his lips, you are to oeware 01 mm, anu marK mm as one who is dishonestly attempting to conceal the true issue of this great contest. (Loud cheers.) In these remarks'you -cannot suppose lor a moment that 1 have any reference to the gentlemen "who preceded me, for I understood him to be in favor of the principle of a Na tional Bank. But I ullude to those who as 1 say, attempt lo conceal or deny this issue. 11 ine whig cause is to be-fought by abandonment of any one of its princl pies, 1 lor one have no desire to share- in its triumphs. (Loud cheers.) The Mvhie policy is a comprehensive nolicv. It is not designed to promote sectional interests. It seeks the welfaroand pros perny 01 inc people ot the whole Union (Loud cheers.) Wo at the North, as a beneficial measure, exact from the people of tin "South and' south-west a tariff lo proleci the industry of tho North. They accede to that measure with a liberality which has over characterized the generous som of the valley of the Mississippi, but ask from us in return a National Kank, to regulale tjic oxchanges, and to diminish tho ruinous rate which thuy nre compel--led lo pay on account of the bal trade'being in favor of this commercial' emporium. Lheers.J We ask for ih tariff to proleci tho industry of the ag riculturiM, the mechanic and manufectu rer of the north.

" They convince not ono democrat hat it is not an issuo and every whig '(unws it lo bo an issue. Hut one thine theroforo is, or can be accomplished by ho pursuit ol ting species ot political 'sclics, viz. a loss of reputation for po litical integrity; and, if gentlemen will travel Iho road that leads to such a ter mination, I must be excused from ac companying them. It seems tome that no man can ontortaiu a reasonable ex peclalion of obtaining credit for einccri ly who either denies or evades this is- tuc, csoccially when the views of Mr. Clay upon it havo been so clearly and repeatedly expressed, and aro so well understood by Iho country.

For this expression of opinion) which from tSlG to this time has been common to Mr. Clay and the whig party , wo aro responsible, and if anything were wanting to confirm our responsibility past all hopo of escape from it, it is furnished by one ol the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention favoring the establishment of such an institution. There is then but ono course far whigs, and it is to meet boldly at once the issuo which this principla toi lers. Cheers. My friend who pre ceded me agrees, I am sure, with me. tie believed such an institution as u National Hank necessary, and did not care under what name. Nor do I. Name it what you please, but give it ihe principles and power of a great national regulator of exchanges and tlx currency. SECRET HISTORY, Attention is requested to the subjoined extnict from the Madisonian of Wednesday The political reader will find it very curi nus and interesting, as throwing light upon several points.

And whereaj, we view with deep concern the inroads and innovations that have been mado on the Democratic principles, io warmly cherished in Ihe hearts of our forefathers, which in novations have a tendency to establish under another namo the .detestable institu tions of Federalism.
