Correspondonce of the Baltimore Patriot
WASHINGTON, Feb. .22, 1936
In the Senate,to.day the Hon. Mr. WALK
ER took his seat, presented by Mr. BENTOIV,
and was qualified. He is quite prepossessing
in his personal appearance,and does not look
at all like a "whole hag" Jackson-Johnson.
Van Buren man:
The Private Secretary or trio President
then presented a message to the Senate, ac
companying the mediatorial correspondence
bet Ween r. BArtxneAry, and Mr. FORSYTH,
in relation to our French affairs, together
with a letter from the former to the latter,
in the capacity of a mutual friend to the two
governments, and a reply, the winds show
ing the desire of Groat Britain to bring a.
bout a reconciliation between the two gov
ernments, and the willingness of France and
the United States to become reconciled.—
But I will be more particular.
The message congratulates the country
upon the state of affairs produced by the
proffer of Great Britain, goes over the old
grounds of the dispute with considerable
minuteness, and maintains the opinions al
ready expressed by the President, in former
messages, that he was all right, and *ha:
France was all wrong. He concludes by
recommending liberal appropriations for the
,improvement of,and additions to, the nation
al defences, and in this particular arguing
from the old text oft he Father of his Country.
'•ln Peace preoare for War."
The first letter in the correspondence is
one from M r. 13ANKIIEAD, proffiring the me
diatorial
services of his government to aid
in a restoration of harmony between the two
nations. This isably written,and expresses
the sentiment that no nutional (fence had
been committed on either side,but that there
was a misunderstanding arising out of lan.
gubee used in a cornmunicaTion.of the Presi
dent to Congress, in relation to Our French
affairs.. It was courteous, honorable,digni
fled, and persuasive,. anddeserved well the
reply it received: •
The second letter is the ready of Arr. FOR--
ICY Mi. BANKIIEAD. Tills: Is wr itten
also in a' good spirit. It accepts with satis
faction the profferofthe British Government,
but reserves one' point only r and that is, the
right of the President to say to the Congress
of the United States what he chooses- with
regard to the conduct of any other nation.
The third communication in the corres
pondence. is a note from 111 r. BANKIII:IAD t in•
forming our government that France had re
ceived and accepted the mediation,: and had
also upon the - arrival of the President's mes
sage, delivered at the Opening of Congress,
expressed a willingness to pay the indemnity,
agreed on by the treaty, at the demand of
the United States.
The fourth' and last was the reply of Mr.
Fansrrn expressing great satisfaction with
this adjustment of all difficulties, and the
hope ihat Abe friendly' relations heiWeen the
two nations would never againbe'disturbed.
It closed ivith acknowledgements to Great
Britain, for the part she had disinterestedly
taken in the math r.
Mr. CLAY,a.s Chairman of the.; Committee
of Foreign Relations, rose, and moved that
the Message with the Documents be printed.
Five thousand copies, on motion of Mr. Be-
CHANAN wore ordered. Mr. CLAY expres
sed great satisfaction with the result of the
question, so long at issue between our own
Government and that of France. He took
occasion to congratulate the Senate upon.the
decided stand they had taken, in the early
pail of the last session, in reference to bur
affairs with that Government: and attribut
ed to their firmness, in unanimously refusing
to grant the President the power of contin.
gent reprisals, which in his Messa! , e he had
demanded, and in refusing also to place the
enormous sum of three millions ofdellars at
his discretionary disposal, the present safety
lnd welfare of the country, and the happy
conclusion which had now been pet to all.
our difficulties. He said that war must have
been the inevitable consequence of a coin.
pliance with both, or indeed with either of
those demands ofthe Executive. Ile attri•
bitted mistakes to both sides, in the centro.
versv, and ably reviewed the grounds ofthe
misunderstanding. He eximined the chum
asserted by the President throughout 'this
aflhir, from the first to the last, to use what
language he chose, without regard to the
party alluded to,in his annual and occasional
communications to Congress. In this con
nection he alluded to what he called al depar
ture from the President's own principle,(that
foreign governments have nothing to do wit h
the intercommunication (done branch ef our
government with another in regard to 11,r
eign relations.) He made allusion, and a
very pointed allusion, too, to a certain invi
tation that was once given to the British
Government through a Minister there, by a
Secretary at home, to observe the conduct
of the different branches ()four own Govern•
ment, and of "TIIi PARTY," in reference to
a certain piece of international diplomacy,
as a pronf that the Executjve had not always
thouaht that foreign powers had no right to
know the incidental events which take place
in our own Government, in reference to the
mutual relations subsisting between them.
He thought both parties were to blame,
that there had never been any ground for
war, and that if it had happened, it would
have resulted from. the imprudent language
used by the President in his message to the
last Congress: that the very idea of such a
thing was reprobated by both branches of
Congress, and by the popular sentiment: and
that it would have been the result of assum
ing a'false position on the one side, and of
bad translations and bad temper, on the oth
er.
He concurred with the President as to the
character of the conduct of Great Britain in
regard to the question. She was an inter
ested party, interested in such a manner as
to make the prospect of a war between us
and France an advantageorn one to herself,
yet she nobly came forward to restore
peaceful relations between us.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
Them is a piece °fiend mentioned in the
St. Louis Republican, which was purchased
by a gentleman, now living, for two barrels
of whiskey, which is now worth half a mil
lion of dollars:
The gaiarrlote Gazette, a neutral paper,
appears surprised at the oppositiOn manifest.
ed in this state to the re.chirrter of the Bunk.
The editor sayer--
"Great objection and opposition appear
to be made to this State grunt by the friends
of the administration of the general govern
ment—the cause of which we do not com
prehend—as we had always supposed, thnt
the great cause of objection to the renewal
of the charter of the Bank of the United
States was that itb powers and influence ex
tended over the whole Union. The NAME
given to the new corporation in the law of
Pennsylvania would seem to be the principal
cause ofobjection."
A SECOND TECUNSED.—The St. Angus•
tine Herald . of the I ath ult., has the fhlrow
ing statement of rowell,the Seminole Indian
Chief. As he is the head and front of that
tribe al their late and present depredations
and murder this account of him may not
prove uninteresting to the readeil
"The character of this chief is but little
known,and not sufficiently appreciated. He
is represented to be rr bavage of great tact,
energy of Character, and bold dar ing. The
skill with which he has for a long time man
aged to frustrate the measures of our govern.
meat for the removal of the Indians beyond
the NI ississippr, entitles him to be considered
as superior Co IThiek Hawk. Charley 0-
mathla, a chief of the friendly - party, inter
posed difficulties to the execution of his plans,
and he at once shot him. - He bore an invete
rate hltred to Gen. Thompson, and yet tin
concealed his antipathies so skilfully as to
deceive the agent, and to induce him to con
sider Powell as personally friendly. Gen.
Thompson fell by tho hands of Powell. This
warner chief was present three days after,
at the battle of the' Withhicoeeeho, a detail
of which, so far as we are able to collect the
same, is contained in this day's paper. It is
proper to observe that he ought not to be
called Powell, as that is only a nick • name.
His Indian name is "Oscola," and by that
he should be'distinguished. •
It is apprehended that he will give the
government much trouble if they do not act
ivith that decision and energy that 6ecome
the power and force of the . count ry. .The
devastation and ruin that he has already
caused will not (lull short of a million of dol

Daily Advertiser, Will be acknowledged 114
picturing this gentleman to the life, as fat ad
they go.—Balmnore Patriot. -
"This Stevens is a very wonderful man
certainly. De is perfectly reckless of popu
larity, and on all occasions takes his own
Course, heedless of its effect upon himself-
One week he is dragging the Masons to Har
risbu wit an "inclement season ofthe year,"
and it would seem that his popularity bad
received a vital stab. Again he is out the
champion of education, the bank, and inter
nal improvements, when he is the first °fall
observed, the man ‘%orthy of the highest
station. He is a man of that indomitable
energy of character which is required as a
fit inside to the affairs of State in the worst
of times. 1 say a.rain,he is a wonderful man,
and nothing but fate itself can keep him trout
being-known and honored all over the Union."

A SION OF THE TIMES.—By a letter jd9t
received from Uniontown, Fayette County,
Pennsylvania, by a gentleman in thin city,it
appears that a meeting was called by the
opponents oft lie Charter of the United States
Bank on Monday, the 15th inst. at winch
meeting the friends of the Baiik proposed to
hold a county meeting on Saturdav,the 20th
inst. A notice was published on Wednesday,
the 17th, and on Saturday, the 20th, the
meeting took place, when it appeared that
there were in favor of the Bank 520, and
against it 119. This is a good symptom,
when it is recollected that in this district
there have-always been more than two to
one in favor of Gen. JAcxsorr, and many of
his leading friends were most active in favor
of the Bank.--Nat. Int.,
Written on receiving an invitation to atm

Wily should 1 lot my &Mout. go,
And mingle with a 8441 throng?
Why cleave do much to things below,
Unless 1 to this world belong?
Do I profess to'serve the Lord,
And feel a sense of pardon'd sin;
Yet disregard his holy word,
And sear that monitor within?
Should I to scenes of pleasure rove,_
And mingle with the sons of earth;
Would I their sinful cause reprove,
Or censure their unholy mirth?
If not, what will my Saviour say
When . in his sight my spirit Mande—
W ill not the world loud taunts repay,
For mingling with their social bands?
Is Jesus' name once mentioned there?
Is that the path that leads to Heaven?
Lift they their hearts to God in prayer,
Or plead to have their sins forgiven?
Ahl no; 'tie not for this they meet,
It is to pass their time away
la worldly talk, and think it sweet,
But think not of a judgment day.
Jesus, methinks I hear thee cry,
Wilt thou to pamper sinful flesh,
Me, your Redeemer, crucify,
And open all my wounds afresh?
Forbid it, Lord, since I am thine,
That I should e'er so careless prove;
Should so neglect thy calls divine,
Or wound my dear Redeemer's love.

The Relief or Bank Bill.
1. 'This Bill, having passed both branches of
the Logislatt.re, received the signature of the
Governor, presented to and unanimously accept
ed by the President and Directors of the late Bank
.of the U.. States, wo rnisten to lay it before the
people, that they may be enabled to road and
judge for themselves. Our own opinion is, that
it is one of the best acts ever passed by our Le.
gislaturo, and will be of incalculable benefit to
the State.
We fully approve of, and heartily join in. the
sentiments contained in the following article from
the Chamboraburg Repository, a paper decidedly
hostile to the present State Administration:
"Whet" the former United States Bank
was refused a ie•charter by the General
Government, the Stockholders ohtaineti a
charter from the State of New York, under
the title of the Bank of America. From that
period New York began to take the lead,and
her commercial emporium shot ahead of her
rival, Philadelphia, in commerce and every
.thing else, and has obtained the appellation
of the "Empire State!"
"And it would Seem to us, that chartering
the present United States Bank, cannot fail
to give to PennsYlvania.sonilar; but greater
and more decided advantages, with respect
to solid capital, over New York and every
other State of the Union, which it would
have been worse than madness not to have
secured—to say nothing of the large con
tribution to our State Treasury and the
School fund, and subscriptions to our works
of internal improvement."
DAVID MIDDLECOFF, ESQ.
A Senator of Pennsylvania.
A few days before the introduction of the Bank bill
into the Senate, and while the House of Representa
tives were considering it, David Middlecoff was in
the lobby of the House, and in conversation with
several gentlemen from York county remarked: "This
bill will pass the House—if it pass the Senate, it will
pass through the agency of its gold-1, for one, will
go against it from the first step!" And yet this same
David Middlecoff, is found voting for the Batik when
it comes before the Senate! Oh Shame—Shame—
"lf it pass it will be by its gold!" The presumption
that a BONUS at that time, had not annotated the
palms of this honest, mown:up:mei Senator! !
1171" The above article we cut from one of the
Dernoltatic Masonic papers of Philadelphia, for
the purpose of allowing to what vile ends the en
emies of the present atato administration will
resort. We are not the political friend of the
Senator referred to. We opposed his election,
.and are opposed to the principles upon which ho
was elected. Justice however requires us to thy,
that in private life none are more highly esteem
ed than DAVID itlium.ecorv; and that all who are
acquainted with him, will readily accord with tis
jn saying, that the insinuations and charges con.
lamed in the above article when applied to hint,

The Major has also read Mr. PENROSE'S "arol
ogy!" lie can't stomach it! It is (be says) "in
sult added to injury," because Mr. Penrose sass.
although he was opposed to the Bank as a No
tional Institution, he cannot vote against charter
ine it as a State institution--espeerally when it
has been shorn of its most objectionable features,
and is calculated vastly to relieve :he people of a
large portion of their starommosc Taxes. to ed
ucate the poor men's ciaildrea and to place the
State of Pennsylvania above her sister states in
point of wealth and inexhaustible resources, and
restore her to that proud station which she has
heretofore held as the "Rey-Slone of the Federal
Arch." Mr. Penrose, altho-igh a party man,
could not go against the best interests of the Pen
ple and the State, because the measures proposed
were favorable to the party against whom he has
always been opposed- This is the amount of
what the Major calls an "insult added to injury!"
He out-rivals old Solsomer. our Great Great Great
Gteat Grand Master, voice of va "Masa:uric Re
cords!"
Yet, after all, the Major and the Reporter-men
are bat as "roots" to their brethren of Bedford
and Lancaster! He of Lancaster is for "pulling
down its (the Bank's) walhc" whilst the valiant
Knight of Bedford is reads to journey to Phila
delphia, "bright bayonet in hard:" and after the
citizens of that city "raze the Institution to the
ground," he will "help them to strew salt over
its foundations!" What brave patriots! too pure
for modern days,—worth` of those days of chiv
alry when Dun Quixotic tratrivalled less wiser
fools!
After all, it is but a ••tempest in a tea-putr—
The "excitement"' is only em.fuced loan ont-gen
craned partizan preiw, executing the approbation
and smiles of foreign MASTERS'. The PEO
PLE are calm. No excitement pervade their
ranks. They see that a great victory has been
achieved over the servile minions of the General
I administration—the pliant tools of Jackson and
Van Burenism. It is tberefare natural that the
overthrown should mourn over their defeat, and
abuse those who were unwilling to bind Penn
sylvania to the car or a fem o ra 'pct." The Bill
for the RELIEF or TIME Proms and the Charter of
the Bank of the United States as a State Bank,
cannot but meet the approNation of all who are de
sirous of the prosperity of the State, without dis -
tinction of party. There are some men among
us who are now, and PlWays have been, willing to
sell Pennsylvania to *fel-rigs foe; to them, any

MR. NIIDDLETO.Ir,
I was one of the large Assembly that at
tended the PuircxxcelintrA3t Assivensanv
last evening in the Presbyterian Church.—
' The exercises were unquestionably well sus
tained—the place--the arrangements—the
evincive the rapid progress of
learning and refinement. The 7...ssikia
tions are well calculated to promote mental
culture; and the young .entleateti connec
ted with them give evidenc e that under their
caltivation, not only blioss..:ms, bat fruit will
soon reward their toil
The first Speaker had eauf , lit one of the
exciting topics of the day, and held it with a
firm and manly grasp, until he had examin
ed it well,and with ar g uments inesistable as
the rays of truth, ma de the cold and quiver

On the origin, rise, and progress of Set-
EN . O E, the next speaker gave evidence that
his time, since leaving the institution, has
not been misimprutted.- His mounterdevoid
of nstentatton, and his mind occupied with
histoncal facts,brouaht up under a judicious
arrangement, the dnTerent poll' . is of his sub
ject, in add masterly array before the
audience. -
The last speaker convinced his bearers,
that a man mir retire from a political arena
with his mind unscathed. He ouninienced
with that cool deliberation which shows
that knowing the drift of a - subj.-ct,- it may
be found at leisure without running our
selves'breathles-s least it should e.ampe ere
we come uo to it. The superionty of the
mind to the body, or mental over physical
power, was demonstrated by numerous facts
and- a- variety of appropriate ithistratioas,
pointinw oat to the Society whom he ad
dressed, a plain, direct, and certain path, to
mental dominion.

Superintendent or Common Schools, in another
column
CCI-Our friend of the "Bucks County Intelligences"
is informed that we meant to say exactly what we
did say. We read the proceedings of the Anti-Ma
sonic Committee of Massachusetts before the Penn
sylvania State Convention met—we were also pres
ent in the Harrisburg Court-house when. they were
read in Convention. But had the Convention (as it
professed to be Anti-Masonic) resolved that it was
expedient, for the well-being of Anti-Masonry, to
bold a National Convention—had Delegates, known,
if you please. to be decidedly favorable to Harrison,
been appointed to represent Pennsylvania in that Na
tional Convention, Anti-Masonic (not Van Buren)
delegates would have appeared from Massachusetts
ready to co-operate, as in times past, with their
brethren of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Ver
moot and other States in deciding upon the proper
course to be pursued for the welfare of the party. If
we know the principlesof Anti-Masonry—if we know
those who have contended foi. those principles from
their birth to the present time, they are not person:.:
—they were not called into existence to put up this
man, or put down that man: they, were to put down
the wicked and abominable Order of Free-Masonry.
And we now speak for our own iolf,not for any other,
when we say, that although our feelings would lead
us to favor our old party predilections were the Anti
Masonic orginiz:aticin dissolved, yet Anti•Masonry'
has taught us never to bind ourself_ to the car Waal ,
personal party or snag. We have contended for
",printiplts, not t.,:en." . if; therefore, dip/:I wind
pies are violated by the party, we see no good rea
son why we should be led "blind-folded,' by the
"cable-tow," whithersoever certain would-be-gen
erals might see fit to lead us. It is folly for our Whig
brother to endeavor to convince us of General Harri
son's Anti-Masonry. We know if meets the appro
bation of the htelligencer, as well as those of his
brethren who are high and bigoted Masons. Witness
our neighbor of the Franklin Repository: lie opposed
RITNES because he was an Anti Mason—and is now
supporting Harrison because he is Nov an Anti-Ma
son., This is all right for "Whigs" to do, but we do
protest against such guides to direct the course of ei
ther honest Anti-Mason or Democrats—not even if
one of those guides were our respected friend of the
lutclligencer.
The Intelligcncer puts the following queries to
us, and "hopes for a candid reply:" "Are you
for or against Van Buren?" "Do you moan to go
with the Anti•Alasonic party of Pennsylvania in
the support of Gen. HARRISON for the Presidency?"
Well,friend KELLY.WO will be candid and say, that
as an Anti- Mason, we have neither sworn fealty
nor hostility to any man; we war neither for or
against any man: we war for and against princi
ples. Ihe List question we will answer by asking
our friend, Is Gcn. Harrison an open and avow
ed POLITICAL Anti. Mason, and was ho nominated
exclusively as such?

The attention of the several districts of,
the comn - .onwealth is respectfully
_directed
to the fifth section of the supplement 'm the
school, law, (passed the 15th of April,
1835.) Agreeably with the provisions 0C
that section, the portions of the state appro
priation intended for the several districts
pot accepting the school law, are to remain
pod accuthulate in the treasury of the. pro
per county, for and during two years from
the date of the supplement, for the use of
•sech - nort accepting districts. But if such
districts shall not, within two years, accep
the law, then such accumulated sum shat
be distributed at the. end of that time, a ,
mongst the accepting districts in the respet .
five divisions,
The two years above mentioned will ex.
Aire on the 151 h day of April, 1837. Be
fore that day only one joint meeting ofdele.
gates and county commissioners (viz on the
2d day of May next) can or will take places
at which joint mcetint• in the several diV
sions, or at some of the regular adjourn
_ .
menu thereof, the number of disfriCts which
shall he entitled to a dividend of the said two
years accumulation, will be unalterably fix
ed.
It will therefore be perceived that the ap
proaching, election of directors (on the 18th
day of March next) is a subject of deep im•
port to the districts which have hitherto re.
jected the system. The claim of the dis
tricts to the two years dividends of appro,
priation, which will at the end of that period,
remain fir their use in the proper county
treasuries, will bS established or abandoned
by the vote which their representatives may
give in the next May joint meeting. Qin
sequently the meeting to elect directors in
March will be tho only opportunity present•
ed to the citizens of each hithei to refusing
district, to determine by choosing their rep•
resentatives in the board of directors, wheth•
er they will accept the two years accumula
tion orschnol money.
In addition to the two ordinary annual
state appropriations of $75,000 there will,
also be, on the 15th of April 1837, subject
to distribution under the above mentioned
provisiond of the sth section of the supple
ment, an instalment 8100,000 payable by
the bar.k of the United States to the common
school fund in the present year.
