Removals from Office. The Locos com plain lhat Gen. Harrison and John Tyler have made more removals from office m three months than the eight former Presidents did in fiftv-two years. This is easily accounted for: there were more rogues and unworthy men in office at the com mencement of the present administration, than were found in office since the organization of the Government!

FROM WASHINGTON; Correspondence of the North American. Washington, Thursday, July 28, 1811. As I stated in my letter of last nieht, the Bank Bill has passed the Senate by a majority oi three. It will receive a few amendments in the House, which will be concurred in by the Senate, and then pass to the President. Of its fate with the Executive a difference of opinion of course prevails. The Locos are confident of a veto, and the Whigs look for an approval. We shall soon know whether the friends or foes of the President are to be grat fied. From the best information which 1 can obtain, and I have been at no little pains to in form myself on the subject, I am strong in the persuation that the President will sign the bill. He cannot conscientiously with a due Yegard to the great measures in which the hopes of his friends, and the interests of ihe country are em barked, do otherwise. He will not in this mo mentous crisis, disappoint the expectations of millions. He can, without any inconsistency, any sacrifice of principle, approve the present bill, and leave the exercise of the veto till the passage of a law, if such a law shall ever be passed, authorising the location of branches in the Slates without their assent. This is a con tingency that may never occur: it will be time to deal with it when it arrives. The House is still engaged on the Revenue Bill, but they Trill soon come to a decision. They manage admirably. When a member gets up for a set speech of an hour, which is intended for those out of the House, those in the House very properly retire and cool them selves in the lobbies. There were to-day at one time, but about a dozen in their seats; one half of those were asleep, and the others ap peared to be nodding, while the orator went on vexing the great dome with the echoes of his eloquence. When his hour had expired, one of the sleepers waked up and took his turn. And yet the House is efficient; they allow a suitable time for speeches, and then act. 'It matters not jhe least, whether the speeches have any body lo hear them or not. They would not probably change a single vote, so it is just as well to be away, or sleep over them as to listen. Action comes iust as soon, and ust as wisely. The hot weather has driven strangers off to ward the springs. Still enough remain, espe cially of those in quest office. Removals ad vance slowly, but they will in the end prove more extensh'e than some suppose. The mem bers of the Cabinent are truly hard working men. They perform a vast deal of labor, and make no noise about it. A more able and la borious Cabinet has not perhaps been known. lhey work intensely, and what is more, thev work harmoniously. The music of the marine band in the grounds of the President's house last evening, was very fine. A host of beautiful la dies were there to hear it, and gentlemen suf-1 icient to say all the sweet things necessary. But the editor of the Globe looked troubled as a porpoise floundering in shallow water. TJic Weathercock turned again! The assailants of Judge Banks, are at a per fect loss to find a vulnerable point of attack. Standing so immeasurably superior to their pet ty assaults, guarded by his rectitude of charac ter and defended by troops of friends, the shafts ol malignity fall harmless arouncjUhim. He has on an armor which cannot be penetrated he is clothed with the protecting love of the people, and the ajgis of truth is interposed between him and those ribald attacks, which compose the weapons oi nis political adversaries. As John Banks stands thus proof to the shock on his in dividual merits, the strangest contortions are apparent among the locos, to identify him and his principles with somebody else! He has been at times denounced as the tool of every person, against whom locofocoism had a settled and abiding hatred; but as no great amount of capital has been made by the operation, the po litical weathercock is now turned towards a new point, and Daniel Webster and the McLe- od Case are made arguments against, the elec tion ot John Banks! With this new cue, by which to "tune their distressful notes," ihe whole pack has opened to tne chase! l he cry now is, the murderer McLeod, the traitor Webster and their friend John Banks! And can any one tell the motive of ibis movement? why has this false issue been joined or what has it to do with our state poli tics if lo I'O KEEP THE PIJRLIG GAZE OFF THE ROBBERIES AND PEC ULATIONS OF GOV. PORTER AND HIS CANAL COMMISSIONERS. It is to raise a dust and smoke, under the cover of which the base transactions of the Moorheads, Packers, Camerons, Porteru, &c. may be concealed! It is because they are alraid to lace the true issue like men, but sneak and dodge about like the savages amid the hammocks of Florida. People of Pennsylvania, be not deceived by mis manoeuvre! keep steadily before you the real issue oi me present contest it is not whether John Banks is the friend of Daniel Webster, but whether David R. Porter is not the enemy of the Keyst one- not whether Web- ster gave wrong advice to his Attorney Gener al, but whether Porter and his Attorney Gener al are again to misrule the Keystone; not wheth er McLeod is a murderer, but whether we ap prove of Gov. Porter for opening jails and pen itentiaries to overrun society with pardoned fel ons, The issue is not with Mr. Webster, but between David R. Porter and his plundering Canal Board, and the candidate who has boen chosen with unprecedented unanimity by the People, as their champion in the cause of Reform--John Banks.-rr-Prt. Tel.

"The Intelligencer of Thursday last, 'says: The Bill to establish the Fiscal Bank of the United States finally passed the Senate yester day, and has come down to the House of Re presentatives. This is another very important step made in the progress of the business of the Extra Session. We hare no means of judging with certainty of the fate of the bill in the House; but, from the visible satisfaction in countenances and the audible congratulations of members of that body, we augur the passage of the bill by a decided majority. Whetlrer with or without amendment, we cannot say. But we feel authorized, by appearances, in connex ion with the passage of the bill in the Senate, to assure our readers that we shall have a Bank. The following is the vote on the final pas sage of the bill. YEAS Messrs. Barrow, Bates, Bayard, Berrien, Choate, Clay, of Kentucky; Dixson, Evans, Graham, Henderson, Huntingdon, Kerr, Mangum.

As soon as the vote was announced, there was a considerable sensation of applause in the galleries, which occasioned one or two faint cries from below of "Clear the galleries. No attempt, however, was made to'd6 so. From the Doylestown Intelligencer. The Delaware Xivisiou. Mr. Editor: I have waited with many oth ers of my fellow citizens to hear whether those who could would make any reply to the many questions which have been asked concerning the Delaware Division of the Penn. Canal, but I have waited in vain. There seems to be ho answer to the grave charges that have been made against those who have that canal in their hands. Silence in such cases generally implies guilt. After some enquiry into the facts, I am satisfied that the silence of the accused, warrants the worst construction. They will not answer be caus they cannot do so satisfactorily, for the truth condemns them. There has been a sys tem of favoritism practised along all our public works, and the Delaware division is an instance. On that Division, men have been brought from Lancaster and other remote places to receive contracts for work at high prices, when better workmen would have done the work in a better manner, and at a moderate rate on the spot. Why is this? Why have certain individuals from a distance been brought into Bucks coun ty, at an expense to the State, and why have our own native workmen been treated with ne glect and contempt Wm. T. Rogers, as an officer of the canal, has given private contracts to certain favorites, who are strangers among us, and for some cause best known to himself and the Canal Commis sioners, whose tool he is, has allowed them much higher prices for their work than the State should pay prices that they never could have obtained, had there been as the law in tends, a fair and honest competition for those contracts, among those who were willing to do the work. If this favoritism was only a preference for certain political friends, at the same price, the public would not have so much reason to com plain of being shut out from competition for work; but when the Commonwealth is injured in having the work badly done by these pets of the Supervisor, and when the people are obljged to pay those favorites more than others would charge for doing the work well, the evil cries aloud for reform. There is daily evidence of the negligence of those employed on the Canal, and while the daily pay of these inefficient op erators is going on, the Delaware Division re mains in a useless condition, unprofitable to the community, and without a prospect of soon be ing otherwise. I would ask Rogers two or three questions. Did not a breach take place on your section of the canal, during the last week? Is not that the third break that has occurred at the same place since you have had the management? Has not erery break at that place been the result of negligence, and might they not have been prevented by vigilance and reasonable carefulness? If you answer these questions honestly, your own answer will con vict you of unfitness for the station you hold. One xcho did vote for Porter, and One who will not again. Murderers of JLaugSilm.

Pa. "elegraph. Diarrha.a. People need not long be troubled with that disorder, so generally prevalent at this season, commonly known as the Summer or Bowel Complaint, when a certain remedy therefor may be found on every man's dinner table; in tho shape of salt and vinegar. Two lea spoonsful of the former, dissolved in half a gill of the 1 utter, and swalWPd at a draught, will in most eases effect an instant cure. The secqnd doso, if needed, will assuredly accom plish it. We aro ready to give our certificate to Dr. Pickle m the premises, for we witnessed the proof.

The lale Charles Ogle, of Fa, The fiendish malignity, says the Richmond Whig with which the memory of this man is pursued by the Locofocos, would excite abhor rence in the bosoms of a oavage people. Ho was scarcely cold in the grave, before with one accord, lhey opened upon him their batteries of vnihcaiion ana traauction. borne ol them even anticipated that solemn and melancholy event, and sought to embitter his last moments by her alding, in staring capitals, and with a spirit which could only actuate demons that uthe in- jamous Charles Ogle was about to die," &c. When the clod had fallen upon the coffin, ihe fact was announced with a shout of triumph, ac companied by every opprobious epithet which a copious Billingsgate vocabulary could supply. When Congress met, the game of detraction was removed from the newspapers to the Hall of Representatives. These honorable gentle men seemed to take pleasure in blackening the name of the dead, and in harrowing up the feel ings of the living. The motion of a Mr. Sny der, when the bill for the relief of Mrs. Harri son was pending, cannot have escaped the re collection oi ihe reader. Ihe severe and just castigation which that individual received ai the hands of a colleague, would, we had supposed, have deterred all others from following in his footsteps. But it appears lhat it failed of that effect. We observe in the Washington papers, that (to borrow one of Col. Joe Watkins' phra ses) (a black-mouth Locofoco from Tennessee, Mr. Watterson, had revived ihe subject, and in troduced, a letter published in this paper, to give countenance to his defamation. That same let ter has been a fruitful topic for Locofoco out bursts ever since its publication. It has been going the round of the whole Locofoco press with exclamation: "See what a Whig says to Ogle's lies!'' Now, we have but a word to say to Mr. Watterson and the rest touching this let ter: It was not written by a Whig and if it were, there is no conflict between its state ments and those of Mr. Ogle. The difference is only apparent, not real. Mr. Ogle gave, from official vouchers, the list of gorgeous articles purchased by the late dynasly for the White House. The letter describes the present tat tered and dilapidated condition of those articles. The statement of the former referred to the pur chase; that of the latter to the bad usage, which had soiled and dimmed their lustre. And this so far from extenuating the original prodigality, 13 an aggravation of it. We beg of these jackalls of faction, if they are determined to persist in their atrocious at tack upon the dead, that in future they forbear to connect this paper, or any of its correspon dents, even though they be Locos, in any wise with their inhuman and unchristian persecution. leather Curious The Locofoco papers are laboring with all the energy they possess, to create a belief that Mr. Webster is, or was, willing to comply with the demands of the British minister for the re lease of McLeod. Now, we venture fo assert. there is not a man in the Union so ignorant as not to know that this is all destitute of truth, and intended solely for political effect. The plain truth is, that Mr. Webster told the British min ister in so many words: that McLeod could not be liberated in any other way than by due course of Law. What did he mean by this declaration? Plainly, lhat McLeod should be tried by the Court having jurisdiction, and if acquitted, released; if found guilty, hanged. Turn it and twist it as they please, we defy ill their ingenuity to torture it into any thing elso. There is something exceedingly ludicrous in hearing the old anti-war federalists, with Mr. Buchanan at their head, belching forth flames and bloodshed at the prosent time. James Buchanan, the man, who, if report speaks truth, got the belly ache when the volunteers were about to march to Baltimore m 1814, and who miraculously recovered in time to get there the day after the battle. By Mars, the idea is a good one. We cant write another line Jemmy Buchanan, a leader of the war party in Congress, ha! ha! ha! Sagacity of a Bog. The Richmond Star relates the following on ihe authority of a gentleman engaged in the af fair, which plainly shows the remarkable sa gacity of the dog: On Monday last, the 19th ult., a dog, belonging to this gentleman, acci dentally fell into a well: and for the moment gave him up as lost. But as a sort of despe rate effort to save the dog, he directed a boy to let a rope ho had, down into tho well, in the hope that possibly it might catch around his leg or neck. No sooner, however, did the rope come within reach, than the dog seized it with his teeth, and tho parties above rinding it had secured him, began to draw up; when about half way up, ho lost his hold and fell back. Again the rope was let down, and again the dog seized it, and he was drawn nearly to the mouth of the well, when his bite gave way, and the third time he fell into the water. Once more tho ropo was let down, and this time the dog took so thorough a hold, that he was brought : triumphantly up, and when set down in safety, 'sdmok the water from his hair, and washed his ' tail, apparently as proud of the exploit as tho other parlies were gratified with it. Th e cir cumstance is a curious and interesting one. Fighting a Locomotive. Tho Exeter News Letter gives tho following account of a battlo greater than Quixote's Battlo with the Wind mills. Robert Pratt, finding it not easy to re move the rails on tho Eastern Road, took his stand upon them with a club, and threatened wild war against tho Locomotive. Tho engi neer, on seeing him, stopped the train knock ed the club from his hand kicked him down a precipice sent ljm pff to jail-nnd proceeded on his route as 'calm as a summer morning. The ex-Hon.

Alter hcarm all the arguments ol counsel, the Recorder decided that Mitchell might be admitted to bail in $1500 upon each indictment, and SI 000 upon tho complaint. The bail to justify in double tho amount required, and to be perfectly satisfacto ry to Mr. Whiting, the District Attorney, to whom due notice of the decision must be iv- O en. To show the laxity of morals, if it may be so Jermed, of some small lawyers, and to ex hibit the facility with which bail is manufactur ed for ihe occasion, an incident which occurred at this hearing, may bii worth mentioning by way of illustration. When ihe Recorder had prononnced his de cision, Mr. Manchester produced a bail a gen tleman who he said was a Ship chandler doing business in Lewis street, whose name it is mil necessary to mention, but who was, as Mr. M. assured the Recorder, " good bail.' 'fhe Re corder asked how long he had resided here one year was he a freeholder? yes. J)jtl he own property here? No, but he did in Madi son county. How long had he known Mr. Mitchell? Why he could not say he had ever known him until now. Plow then came he to offer himself as security? He had been asked to do so. The Recorder promptly refused such bail, remarking to Mr. Manchester that he did his business very loosely. To which Mitchell, with a significant shrug, said "1 think so too." This may give one some idea of the way id which some of the manufactories are carried on. The parties are to have a hearing before the Recorder this day, -when the bail will be produced and justified. Cour. tj Enq. The Grand Jury of the Court of General Ses sions of New York, have returned three bills of indictment against James G.

The New York Courier mentions the arriral in that city of a queer fish, (if fish it is) which has been brought from the river Amazon, the first of the kind, it is believed, that has ever been brought here. The following description is furnished of it. "Your animal is Lamantin or Sea Cowj tho Manitus Americanus of naturalists. It is an ex ceedingly timid and inoffensive animal, and smon abandons places frequented by man. It feeds on aquatic plants exclusively, and sleeps in shallow streams, with its head out of water. The flesh is highly esteemed, resembling veal in its flavor. The female brings forth two at a birth. It sees very imperfectly, but the defect is amply compensated by the extreme actre ness of its hearing. It has teats on its breast. It is between four and five feet long, and so gentle as to take food such as hay, straw, grass or other vegetable from the hand. In seizing its food it uses both its hands, and also its cu rious shaped extensible upper lip; its body ter minates in a broad rounded tail or firij and is covered thinly with short hairs." Very Deaf. One day last week, a man was fishing in a pond near Chichester, when the owner came up to him, and ordered him off; the man play ing the deaf ear-, answered in return that the fish would not bite and that he did not think there was anything in the pond but carp. The owner was so enraged at the fellow's answer that he threatened to throw him in the pond, when the intruder offered id lend him one of his rods to fish with. Unable to suppress his anger, the proprietor ran up to him for the pur pose of giving him a ducking, but at the mo ment the deaf man bobbed his head down, and the incensed gentleman's foot slipping, he fell headlong into the water, a depth of 6 feet, and was obliged to call upon the deaf man to as sist him in getting out, who told him ho did. not expect to catch a large fish in the pond, or he would have brought a larger line. Louis ville Adv. Jonathan Roberts one of tho Directors of the United States Bank has entered on the records of the institution his reasons for disapproving of the suit against Nicholas Biddle.
