A correspondent of the .St. wis Republican describes as followii a visit to Gen. Jackson on the 2 tth of August : "We met the General in the hall, seated up- on a fofn' ,rom whic" notattcmpttorise.

His voice is yet clear and vigorous, except " 1 when disturbed by a severe cough with which he is afflicted, lliseye sightand hearing liave ,aiIud confiiJeraby, nml his whole person fvinc- rs the tremulous fceblcnessof old oge and phy sical infirmity. Ilia memory is yet clear and generally tolerably distinct, nnd his mind e vinccs but little of t lie decay which might bo expected from the prostration of his physical fiicult ict. "His own remsik, that 'his taper was nearly burnt nut ' was most forcibly and painfully ninnilest. Not withstanding his infirmity, he manifested great attention to his domestic til fairs, spoke of his farm, the crops, the yield, the prospect of the market?, etc., showing that he i.s not unmindful of what is transpiring n round him. 1 1 is eon vernation concerning his own affairs showed him to be r. linn of great ' iruodness of heart, a kind and indulgent inas- ter, a war... and steadfast friend. His mind appears to be chiefly occupied v i 1 1 1 politics aiid the present ami past conflicts, anij jn this he tiiimifesls all the rancorous nnd ( MU wj , (j ,pJ . u i o i j i Uts notion's are fixed and permanent, and he does not admit the possibility of doubt or cavil on any point.

The inquiry, when made in the right spirit and with a caudiJ mind, is proper and ought to be fully answer ed. He is not only, in a public sense, 'honest.

'"J You are an American German battallion, and nre associated as Volunteer soldiers to defend this, your adopted country, your new futherland. You are arrayed here not a Germans, but os citizens of this free land. The iiiilioi from ' which you have sprung is the warrant for your spirit and heroism, your love of country, Bud devotion to the equal righ's uf all. j As Americans you have united to defend our borders against all enemies of the republic, nnd 1 by your patriotism 1 am assured that you will ' stand as a wull of fire 'in her defence. And ' that this flag will lend you only to victory. . The motto it bears is the motto ol our beloved country, Virtue, Liberty nnd Independence. and : is an inducement lo noble deeds and horn rable actions. You have an example worthy of imitation in the Germans who settled in Pennsylvania, pri or to the revolution. Tliey h it their homes and liatlled here for liberty. They h it the graves of their fathers and the places when? they sjMirtcd in youth, to enjoy the equal rights of man in this Western World. They were an : industrious and patriotic people. They spent their property and spilled their blood in de fence ol liberty, the love ;f which they cher ished in their hearts. And when the greut Declaration of Indepen dence of these Slates was announced, the birth day of w hose author we are celebrating, every German A. norican heart beat with joy and hope, and in the contest tl at ensued, the Germans were always on the side of liberty. This touch ing example of predecessors, will lend you in the pat If of honor lo reoosvii, if ever our inval uable principles should be invaded. Belnre I present the flag, permit mo to say a word of the distinguished author of the Declaration ol Ilidepcliee. Thoinus Jefferson whoso cell teiiniul birth day e are celebrating, was in gaming and co'iducting the Government ol the 1 Republic, will be discussed by the reverend and gilted orator ot the day.

The practice on so lemn occasions to present banners is an old pructicc. Among the uucii nt Germans, if a knight was able lo lead ten other knights against tho enemy, tho Herzog gave him a banner, and liu wa called Bannerherr. Thus I present the i libtriv, our w ives and our tluMiui against the i enemies of our futherland. Receive it, accom panied by the heart felt hope and full of confi dence that it will bo a light to guide you al ways to victory.

Mr. ebster declared that a National . , ... - ,, .. .... 11 Dank was 'on ubsilctn Lira,' but Henry Clay, ' nt Raleigh, avowed himself favorable to another I Bank. Hear him ; I "The necessity for a National Institution (a j Hank) does not result merely from the existence of local institutions, but it arises also out of the fact that all the great commercial nations of the world have a Hank. England, France, Aus tria, Russia, Holland, and all the great powers of Ftirope, have their National Banks." Hen ry Clay's Speech at Raleigh, 1S-11. So Mr. Ciay very naturally in this particu lar wirhe to follow the example of Great Brit n in and the other European powers. It is necessary in his opinion to establish a National Bunk in this Republic because such institutions exist in the monarcliial and despotic govern ments of Europe ! As Mr. Rivrs is now advocating the cause of Clay, we subjoin an extract from his (Rive?) speech in the Senate in opposition to the Bank of the United Stales January 17, 1S31 and clearly showing the dangerous character of such an institution : "I cinnot," said Mr. Rives, "see, then in the j in reiterating this story yon have been aJher use of the veto by the present Chief Magistrate, I ing to a bran Jed fuh hood, without havingtvi. (Gen. Jackson,) any caue of alarm for the Ii- j deuce lo sustain you. berties of the country." ! If you wish to try this matter in tho proper "I confess, sir, I consider those liberties far more seriously threatened by the unconstitu tional institution with w hose grasping ambition we are now struggling. If, sir, it should tri umph in the fatnl struggle, then indeed, a fatal revolution will have been accomplished." "This modern dynasty is now seeking toes tablish its sway over us in the worst of all forms that of a great legal corporation, rami fied and extended through the Union, directed by irresponsible authority, controlling the for tunes and the hopes of individuals and commu nities, influencing the public press, dictating to the organs of the public will. 'Sir, on American Senator might well say : Tod iv the Congress of the United States sits i io.brmeiit ., the mononolists oftheB-tnk. To-inorroiv the monopolists of the Bank may be the Congress of the United Slates. All his tory hath taught us the dangerous power of mo neyed rorprratbns, and we now see and feel that power exerted in the most dangerous of all forms, in assailing the purity of our republican manners, undermining the stability of our in st.tutioiis.and awing the deliberations of our public councils. Sir, the American people yes, sir, the people when their true voice shall be heard, cnll upon us for justice in this gteat cause of money violating and trampling upon the giinrai. tees of freedom. They call upon us for the preservation of ihe public morals, exposed to a new and daring corruption. They call up on us for the vindication of our national choroc- ter from the scandal of practices beforo unknown in nur history.

I pre- I sume, from your adherence to .he story, alter : nil this, you must have some good evidence uf ! its truth. If you have not, I cannot lay inuclc for your regnrd for truth.
