T. TRUMAN. Cincinnati, May 1, 1841. icaAr WAS q,EN. HARRISON'S TRUE - GREATNESS. Dear Sir:—With diffidence I comply with year request; for it is a maxim with me neither to eulogise the dead nor flatter the laving. The political and military character of the late Chief Magistrate of the 'United Biates is well known .and the tears of a nati)m will embalm his memory. But private vittues and christian principles are marks of Cove greatness and render the memory of the dead blessed. That Presi dent-Harrison was a Soldier, a Scholar and a Patriot, none will deny,—Yet these wore ;tot the excellencies that rendered him be loved. General Harrison was condescending.— The poor and illiterate found as ready ac cess to him as the great and learned.— Evert the children were at home with him, and none but the guilty were embarrassed in his presence. He was honest--.above all prevarication, and in all his intercourse with his fellow men, said a political -opponent, who had been his neighbor for forty years; "Ganef. • - al Harrison never had a particle of dishones ty about him. He was honest in every thing. He was also comPling, and suspected no nee. Real evidence of guilt was necessary in order to lesson any one in hie esteem, and when his interest or character, were assailed, he was often first to plead the palliating circumstances that might extenu ate the guilt ,of the offender. . He was char:table, he regarded proper. ty only valuable, as the means ofpromoting theliest interests of man. To whatever he theight would prompt() the physical, intel lectual or moral good of the community, hews. a generous contributor. It is pre , mimed that not a house of public worship . has been erected for years in this vicinity without his aid. He hue often said to me, "I Nivea small_ piece of land in such a place,..do they not need a church there, or *School bowel I Should like to give it for some such purpose," and often when the cleimiot public charity have fallen on my hands, - I felt constrained to conceal it tram him, . knOWing , that his generosity -youldietioihim tO do, what in my opinion - -deti- - did not require. .' While engaged in erecting a Church in feflie congregation twelve miles from his renidence..l did not call on him till it was • nearly .completed. - On accidentally meeting: im; he said, "I hear that you bani been buildiug a Chtirch, why. have you not called on met" I replied, I Pon ' eider youibinevolent tax already quite suffi • cient. He seemed hurt, and added, "let me (kilo hadaviLat I can. The little pro pertY I have belongs to God, and I cannot appsopriate it better." This trait in his tharaeter - was daily exhibited at home.— The paOr knew were to find pfriend. Thu widow, the fatherless and - the aficted of every grade participated in his bonaty.— Ho _reproached none for their poverty or _misery nor inquired the cause of their wretchedness till the sulfating was relieved, wir then only to apply a moral remedy.-- The bondman and - fugitive shared in his ,spripithY, and the subjects of scorn and prejudice found bim a friend and protector. I blew visited the sick, and stood by the dytagiuld attended at the hens° of mourn. ing, and the man whom I most often found them, ea. errands of mercy, especially among the poor„ was Gen. Harrison. The writer has bad a pretty extensive and Ganglier acquaintance, in the vicinity whereto lived, being the Pastor cif the congregation where he worshipped for the six, years previous to March 1840, yet he never heard the poor man speak reproach- fully of Gen, Harrison. Nol "When the ear heard Mps, then it blessed him, and when the eye saw him, it gave' witness to Aim. &cause he delivered the poor that tried and the fatherless, and him that had woe to help htm. The blessing of high that was ready to:perish came upon was, and he caused the widow'a heart to sing for joy. He was eyes to the blind, and feet to _thei , lame. Hi was Otather to the poor, and the cause that he knew not he. search ed out."—Job 29, 11 JB. Thu application of seripture, will meet with a hearty' response among thousands who;hest knew'his worth, and yet he re proved their collies, and rebuked their sins.

I determined to avail myselfef the first . opportunay, for learning the reason of his conduct: - As 1 was welcomed to his house I did not wait long fora the desired occasion. In the course of oonversation on the subject of religion generally, Isaid, "do you feel, sir, that 'you have at resent, it personal interest in Christ'!" He replied "I was taught the principles of Christiani ty in. my childhood. and I trust they have at all times had some Influence over me.— But of late I felt more on the subject of religion. I know the Bible is a revelation from God. It,, doctrines are consistent, its precepts pure, and its plan of salvation seems admirably adapted to the wants of a sinner, still I'am certainly not what a chris. tian should be, yet I do not need any one to teach me, foci know my duty. But when would do good, evil is present with me." At a subsequent interview he' observed, "I feel more and more the importance of personal religion. Ido think I enjoy reli glen and delight in the duties of a child of God, and have concluded to unite with the church so soon as my health will permit me to go . out." In these private conversations he was free and unembarrassed. His views of truth were 'clear and evangelical. Ho recognised distinctly the Father Son and Holy Spirit, as God; Christ, an atoning sa crifice for sin; the depravity of man and the agency ofspirit in regeneration. Soon after this ho was a candidate for the Presidency, and being much from home, 1 saw him less frequently. But when op portunity presented, I enquired if his inter eat in the things of religion had abated, he answered "not in the least. It is the one thing needful. I need its consolations and support now more than ever; I intended to have united with the church before this and should have donO so last Sabbath, bnt on reflection I felt that if I were to do so, in my peculiar circumstances, it would bo con strued into a political design. But I cer tainly shall do it us soon as circumstances will permit." HIS VIEWS OF THE MINISTERIAL OFFICE. • Gen. Harrison was no sectarian. His educational predilections were in favor of the Episcopal Church, yet he cheerfully and devoutly worshipped with all who pro. fessed the religion of Jesus Christ. Min. inters of all denominations were made %vet come at his house and without distinction led in the devotions of the family and social circle. Such were his views, feelings and profession. Did his general deportment correspond with these? 113 regarded the Ministers of Christ as ambassadors from God. He listened to the illiterate man in his homely garb with the 'same respectful attention that he did to the mare polished and erudite, the preacher who was honest, piou9, and understood the word of God, sat isfied him. He was a constant attendant on public worship.--Always devout in his manner, earnest in. attention, and sympathetic in feeling.. On retiring from public service of the Sabbath, where he was present, I al ways felt that there was at least one person present, who heard and felt, and would not complain of close pointed and plain exhibi. lions of the word of God. He would some timei Inv: "In preaching shoot low, and take 'good aim. If you wound me it is my fault. You Ministers should fear none but God, deliver his mileages clearly and forci• bly, and then it matters not who is offended. Never preach to the wise and learned.— Make 3 ourself understood even by , the chil dren. Theoretical infidels out of the Church do but little injury to the cause of piety; but practical infidele in the Church do the mischief." GEN. HARRISON'S REGARD FOR THE SABBATH. Gon. Harrison maintained a high regard for the Christian Sabbath. The following 'illustrates his feeling. A. neighbor entered on Lord's day morning, and said with some embarrassment: "General, I thought you would be absent to-morrow, and. I called to see ill might have your oxen a few hours?" EIo replied. 4 4 "Pis the Sabbath, Sir, and I cannot attend to business today °' "Yes," said the man, "but I thought you would be gone in the morning. Cann't I have them, sir?" He was answered: "Have I not told you before that you must not ask me to transact business on the Lord's day!" "But, General, I did not mean to offend you." "No! but you always do offend me when you ask me to attend to worldly mat. ters on the Sabbath." f called on him one Monday morning; he said, "I was deprived of the pleasure of attending meeting last evening, for soon at. ter my return from service in the morning, 1 was surprised and grieved at .a call from about thirty persons from Cincinnati, on an excursion for pleasure.. I could not leave them without rudeness, but what grieved roe most, I recognized among the number some of my personal friends, and those that I had hitherto considered gentlemen." GEN. HARRISON'S LIBERALITY. He felt for the advancement of religion —he contributed cheerfully to every bean•. olent object, saying "the gospel is the hope of the world,"-he . spoke with the most lively feeling of the progress of the gospel among the heathens, but was not unmind ful of the destitute at home. When I first took charge of the Presbyterian Church at Cleves, he said to me privately: "The pre judices of the people must be lived down, and they must be reformed by pastoral la bor, and yet you will be but poorly sustain. ed here—the congregation are all poor, and what is worse they do not know the value of the gogpel. I have but little money, to give, but.you shall have a share. There is a good house,'," pointing to a house near by; "occupy it with yaw_ family, and they shall lack none.of the comforts of life while I five." • The kind oar could not consistently be accepted, thmigli oft repeated; and the wrt 7 ter'continued to reside twelve miles-distant, yet as npastor he was never forgotten by . the General and 'his family, and has had abundant reason to feel, that the ministers nrJesus Chrtat, however poor, had one "friend that sticketb clooer thou a , brother," And- Tivhen•the deady'smalf kteari stand before God, will not the Judge say to him, 'Come, for as much as ye did these things to the least of thy brethren, ye did it Tinto me." Will there be no witnesses* of Je sus there who will bear testimony, saying { "Yea, Lord, he did it unto me, for I was hungry and he gave me moat, thirsty, and ho gave me to drink, naked and he clothed me, sick and he visited me, in prison, pad he came unto me." His charities and works were not extort ed by importunity, or the pressure of obli gation, or appeals to conscience, nor was it for the purpose of display, for his charities were in secret; .nor did he give a tithe of his abundance, and when that tithe was ex hausted, send the poor empty away. He practised 13ELF•DENIAL for the gospel's sake; for while he contributed to sustain the gos• pal at home and abroad, the entire furniture of his own hospitable mansion was less in value than a single article that sometimes adorns the Fluters of clergymen. And, while he clothed the naked, his simple wardrobe attire cost leas than a single gar• ment worn by many a dignitary of the church. But he understood THE GREAT DOCTRINES OF RELIGION PRACTICALLY. Where did ho learn if not in the school of Christ? Ile erred at times, and doubt less erred often. But when convinced, did nut the heaving bosom, the tearful eye, and honest confession, show the sincerity of his sorrow? Did he not alwaywask forgiveness of his fellowmen? it is believed that this was his practice in all cases. No matter how poor, despised, or degraded, the man whom he offended, he confessed and salmi forgiveness, and . MADE nEsTrrtrnom "1 like your views of REPENTANCE," said he. "Genuine sorrow, humble confession, and a `forsaking of sin are tho only things that can bring peace to the sinner, or make him a better man. lle understood forgiveness also, and practised it. No matter how great the provocation he had received, if the of fender relented, and acknowledged his fault. the starting tear, tremulous voice, and cor dial embrace showed that he was restored to favor and to friendship.. "How beauti fully is the gospel adapted to the wants of the world," be would say, "God must love the penitent more than the sinless, and the forgiven penitent must love God more than those who never. sinned." Such were the views, feelings, and con duct of President Harrison. Such they have been at least for six years past. He is now beyond all 'praise or censure. He will be unmoved by our lamentation or eu logies. I shall not be accused of acting from interested motiveri, but I have written under embarrassment, from a consciousness that I could not do justice to the MA'S whom the nation delighted to honor. I have writ ten, as you perceievo without forethought or review, and if you think it will at all subserve the interest of religion, or serve to inform the minds of any not favored with a personal acquaietance with the President, or that it will increase in the public mind a sense of national bereavement you are at liberty to publish it. Your's respectfully, HORACE BUSHNELL. To War. T. Teuarmv, Cincinnati: Cleves, April 29th, 1841. *This Communication was read to me by the writer. As he approached this af fecting part of it, the tremulous lip, subdu ed voice, and tearful eye, were involuntary witnesses, eloquenay attesting the truth of what was affirmed and unconsciously led the, mind forward in anticipation of the au gust scenes to which he so touchingly al ludes. Justice to the memory of the de ceased, demanded this notice, which the Pastor must excuse. W. T. T. THE FRAUD ON THE TENNESSEE BANK. —The last Nashville %V hig says—"A coun try merchant by the name of Jno. L. Moore, (doing business at Readyville, under thr firm of Moore & Berry,) has been arrested in Rutherford county. charged with com mitting the recent frauds by means of ficti tious notes of hand, on the principal bank of Tennessee. For several days past, he has been arraigned before an examining court at Murfreesboro', whither a large number of witnesses from Nashville bad been summoned. We learn from some of the witnesses who returned yesterday, that Moore will probably be committed, unless bailed by his friends, the preliminary proof being unfavorable to his innocence." . P. S.—The Nashville Banner, received this morning, thus ends the career of Moore: "John L. Moore, who was under arrest for having committed the late frauds on the Bank of Tennessee in Nashville, committed suicide`on the morning of the Bth inst. in a public house in Murfreesburg, by hanging himself to a bed post."

A LETTER FROM BRAZIL.--A Rio de Ja neiro correspondent of the New York Com mercial, gives a melancholy account of the condition of things in Brazil. The empire is described as being as large as the United States, and is endowed with the richest and most abundant natural resources. The population is betweems,ooo,ooo,and 6,000,- 000. The captal. Rio, contains about 141,000 inhabitants. Brazil was discover. ed and colonized by the Portuguese, and in 1806, the Portuguese, Court went to Bra zil. In 1821, the king returned to Lisbon. Don Pedro abdicated in favor of his son, Pedro IL during whose minority a Council of Regency governed. He was declared of ago in 1890. The sovereign power is therefore wielded by a young and inexperi enced prince; and the State has, for sever• at years, been dtstracted by civil war. The correspondent of the Commercial says that there is not even now a prospect of its speedy termination. Slavery prevails to a frightful extent; and the time is • not very distant, it is believed, when' the blacks and colored people will rise and take possession of the country. Although the Constitution and Laws are good, justice is brought and sold like an article of trade. The religious condition of the country is indeed unenvia ble, as infidelity prevails to a frightful ex tent. Alluding to the.elave trade, the wri ter says: "Although the traffic is by she laws of the land piracy, and punishable with death, and also in direct violation of its treaties, yet it is carried on with a boldness and in a degree truly amazing. It is, bow• everistated that the present government are opposed to it, and that they are doing something to prevent it. The English have several men-of-war constantly cruizing up and down this coast, as well as on the .coast of Africa, which frequently seize and bring in prizes, greatly to the annoyance of the traffickers themselves." ST. Doniitroo.-The following deplorable picture of the condition of the once beauti ful, flourishing and rich island-of Hayti, is furnished it a letter from a French naval officer.

NOTE Exrcunrs..rr.—The New Orleans Bee states that an experiment was recently made by an English gentleman on the notes of one of the city banks, in the presence of the officers, and cf sundry citi zens, by which he demonstrated his ability to efface totally and without leaving a soli tary trace, every ink mark existing on the face of the notes. The impressions made by the ink were removed by the feather's point of a quill, imbued with some chemical preparation compountled by the gentleman in question. He thus established with per fect ease, that certificates of deposite and other bank documents in writing can be al tered for purposes of counterfeiting. After this experiment, he wrote a few lines on a piece of ordinary writing paper, and sent it to the most experienced chemists in the city, declaring that it was impos4ble to remove it. He has offered to vend bis secret to the various banking institutions of NeW Orleans, at a reasonable rate. $2,420.078 I IMPORTANT LEGAL DecistoN.—The Philadelphia papers state on Saturday last it was decided by the Judges of the District Court, for the City and County of Philade!. phis, in the case of Croft vs. Reiff, that In, a case where a check drawn payable to bearer, and loaned by the drawer to the payer for his accornixlation, and by th • payer passed to a third party in payment of a bona fide debt, the holder could not recover thereon.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE TO TAY PATIIIDYNT or Tax ONITE1) STATES. New York, May 1, 1841. In May last, on the Tippecanoe battle i ground, in presence of some thirty thousand people, I was intrusted by. the surviving soldiers of that memorable field with the flag that was in the midst and thickest of the strife, which I was commanled to take to this commercial metropolis, to be die played here, before our fellow citizens, as a living, speaking, emblem of the valor of their old commander, and of the perils he had undergone. When the political con test was over, (in which his courage, had been questioned,) and the People had sea ted him as President in the W hitti House at Washington, I was also to bear it there, and, in the name of his fellow soldiers, re quest him to deposite it among the honored trophies of the Republic. I promised on that ground to execute this commission, and with an earnest conviction of coming suc cess—that the FORTY Two Four/inn of the Empire State should herald its arrival there; but, in the midst of scenes so eventful us those of March, I put off the duty, in the hope of a more quiet day, when, now, alas! there is the quiet of the grave! I see, therefore, no way so proper to obey the orders of the bravo men of Tipp canoe as to lay this flag before you, the successor, for whom were the dying injunc tions of their illustrious Chief, and upon whom his office, and I trust, his spirit has fallen. ' with the request that you will carry out the wish of his compatriots in arms by depositing it among the trophies of the Re public. I beg you, in their name, most tenderly to cherish it. Other flags of our countrymen, have, no doubt, been as gal lantly defended, and were as glorious on land or sea; but, while they may have won but isingle ship, or a single field, this has the high honor of winning whole states, of conquering empires, indeed. An old Ea gle like this, borne by the pioneers of the wilderness, that has added to the reign of liberty and law, beconies a holy emblem, with its "in hoc Bingo vincea" upon it, cry ing out as from the spirit of the past to the future, and which, as the country becomes older and greater, becomes to all posterity holier and dearer. I have the honor to be, yours, respectfully, T JAMES BROOKS. THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY. TO JAMES BROOKS, rig. • . WASHINGTON, May 4, 1841. "The flag which was in the midst and thickest of the strife," and was committed to your care on the Tippecanoe battle ground by the. surviving -soldiers ot that memorable field and which they command you to bear to this metropolis as a speaking emblem of the valor of their old comman der, and of the perils he ban undergone, has been delivered over to my "hatids,, and will be placed by me among the honoied trophies of the Republic. The account which was given me some years ago, by the gallant Ensign now no more, who up. held that banner amid the perils of the fight had prepared mo to expect to see it as it is, gashed by the tomahawk and rent by balls. The Ensign alone, of all the officers, with but twenty men ofthe gallant company over which, when the sun went down, that flag so proudly waved, survived to tell in the morning of the hazards of that terrible night. From that brave soldier, who' afterwards held high place in the hearts of - the people of Indiana, I learned properly to appreciate the fearless bearing and noble conduct of the patriotic citizen who has so recently exchanged this earthly tabernacle of clay for one• that endureth forever. Death is the common heritage of , all mankind; but so to live as that the darkness of the grave shall not obscure our names, and that they be placed in close association with the names of the great and good who have gone before, and who aro to come after us, makes death itself a consummation rather to be wished than feared, and throws a light of glory over the grave. Such, nevV, is the condition of "the old commander 7 into whose hands, when you received this flag, you so joyously anticipated its delive ry. His deeds are now "enrolled in the Capitol," and this banner shall be preserv ed as a memorial of a battle well fought, and of a victory most nobly won. I pray your, sir, to accept assurances of my great respect. The bearer of the flag nt tho battle of Tippecanoe, alluded to in the above reply of the President, some of our readers may not recollect, was Ensign Tipton, a' Ten: nessean by birth, who started from home with only his axe for a patrimoni, and who subsequently became a Senator in the Con:- gross of the United States, and one of the most distinguished men in Indiana. Of bim the anecdote is narrated, we have seen in the public( journals, where Gen. Harrison is represented as riding up in the heat of the battle, inquiring . of the young Tipton. •'Where is your captain?" "Dead! air." "Your lieutenant?" "Deadt sir." 4 .Your second lieutenant?" "Dead! sir." "Your ensign?" "He stands before you!" where' Tipton then stood, holding and defanding this very flag, but so covered with dirt and so besmered with blood that Gen. Harrison scarcely knew him. 4, 1-kid on,"aaid Hitt; Aim, "for a moment longer; I will rein force you," and ho rode offend led up there the company of Capt.

Van .o)7dd, Esq., to bo Poot.Master at Gottysburg,,Pa. These, aro both excellent appointments. In deed, whichever of our applicants had been 4,6 pointed, it would have been excellent, and perfect ly satisfactory to our citizens. Truer men never offered for any office, and our only regret is, that all could not be gratified. But we have no doubt each will cheerfully watt hie turn. Our late Post. Master, Mr. BELL, retires from office, with, as we learn; perfect satisfaction to himself, and to our citizens generally, who were willing to see him relieved from duties which ho felt, and they saw had become burdensome to him. The prepriety of excusing him from further ear• vice seems to be admitted by ell. We trust that no Post• Master hereafter, even the present incurs. bent, ,will be permitted to retain the office so long: Give each a fair chance. • Mr. VAN Onsusz, our'new Post-master, enter ed upon the duties of his office yesterday morning. The office has been removed to the room• next door to Mr. Kurtz's Hotel, and directly opposite the Bank of Gettysburg. Cuentss l'uuzsr. has been appointed Post- Master at Reading, Pa., This is a most judicious selection. One officer belonging to Tun party in Pennsylvania has at last boon hit on. jProscription—The Policy and Justice of Removals from Office. In our last paper we showed, or attempted to shear, that removing politicil opponents from of. lice, so far from being proscriptive, is required by patriotism and justice. Office is not property in which any man has a vested title, and for the loss of which he has a right to complain. If it be contorted upon him by , the people or the Execu tive it' is to erudite them to carry their principles into the administration of 'affairs. ' But he could but poorly impress those principles upon the mea sures of government who refused to receive the seal of them himself. He could *ercely be ex pected to breathe them into others M4s had never inhaled them himielf. The Tories of '76 would have' made but poor officers. of the continental army;—they would hardly have shed their blood at Bunker's Hill to sustain the Whig ascendancy-- nor would they have made very trusty commissary generals, head.: of hureaus, or keepers of West Point. We would not compare the turpitude of 114 Locefoces to that of the tories of tho Revolu tion, but would just as soon expect those tories to desire the success of the Whig armies as the Lo, cofocos to pray for aid to maintain the present Democratic ascendancy. Such a hope would be tray a credulity nearly • akin to political fatuity. The whole matter resolves itself into the question --are Democratic principles and Democratic men sums necessary for the proper government of this republic] If they are, the statesman who refuses to sustain and to propagate them betrays, the in• teresta of the nation. But as they must be prop agated through Democratic men, it follows that this administration. if it be honest in the doctrine which it professes, must displace the federal hero. tics who pollute the sentiments of the people, and put orthodox Democrats in their stead, who will reform public opinion both by precept and exam- pie. Any other course will throw a suspicion upon their sincerity, sod Induce the belief that they desired a change for the sake of engrossing the high offices, rather than of ,establishing new and vital principles. But certain lofty gentlemen revel in sublimated notions of politics, and scorn as vulgar those views and moans which aro brought down to a level with this dirty earth; and which keeps in view the in terests, the feelings and the claims of common men; They readily kl agree that it is right to turn out the President, Vice President, Heads of De partment, and most of the more honorable and lu crative office-holders in tho cities;, but to interfere with the Auditors, Clerks, Messengers, Post office Agents, and Pest Offices in the smaller towns, and country places, becomes, in their judgment, a "small business," which is sneered at and denoun ced by these dreamern of a political millennium. We hold just the contrary doctrine. If any are to be left in let Übe the Heads of Department and foreign Ministers, who aro able. to live without of fice, and who seldom come incontact with the people and are therefore not so likely to'corrupt them, as those with whom they associate daily.— To overlook those larger men and take care of the smaller ones keeps alive a sense of republican equality; but to place the great men only in pow- er, and negfect the humble ones because they and this offices to which they aspire are humble, is the essence-of Aristocracy, to which all government' too . naturally tend.; and towards which, it must be a:info:Pied, a portion of tho party to which we be, long, and, who oiler a victory are the most noisy and important, and &amities', too naturally tends. But upon the principle of rewards (let , us speak our thoughts Plainly) is it not right to bestow the offices on those capable and henest men who have done, and suffered most to achieve the - victory of troth over sirori-of sound and judicioniniessures over a r a mp s and demoralizing policyt All ad tnit the principle wheii applied to thesst who ten der service against a foreign C.c.. Th om . h a w h o dares b. lively end suifilgs freely is !aided with . • .. • - - honors and emoluments, by a grateful country; why is he leas entitled, who expande,his toil, and his estate, in rescuing *country from domestic folly and corruption? What class of citizens is it that generally do the labor in political contests? Not those learned and fastidious gen tlamen who are generally the willing recipients of the high honors and lucrative offices. It would be beneath their dignity to mingle in the dust and turmoil, and plebien exercisee, which are so ne cessary to arouse, combine and animate the mass es. They may, to be sure, now and than, con sent to write a classic address, which can be un derstood by none except those who need no argu gument to persuade. But they would faint if i they were,asked to mingle with the crowd and sing doggrel songs, or even join in the enthusias tic chorus of "Tippecauoo and Tyler too." They might consent, and even aspire to be taken out by a fawning committee in a carriage and four, clean and sleek to preside over 0,000 freemen soiled with mud and travel, which they endured without the hope of being distinguished above their fellows. But they will never be found get ting up a WAGON unmans and riding in the midst of the farmers and laborers forty or fifty miles on plank and straw, through sleet and rain, and encamping upon the ground in tents that they might save the country from misrule! And yet those who have done all this, and for more, without regard to ago or habits, are not to be ha. toned to, or be allowed to supersede their oppo nents, while the unsoiled gentlemen are to take office because they have never descended to'the vulgar practice of - working for their living, or working for the. party. We shall persue this subject..

SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. President not heard from—lmportant Political movement respecting the Corn taw. The Steamship Caledonia arrived tit Boston on Tuesday lust, bringing . London papers to the 3d May, and Liverpool papers to tho 4th. The cotton market was depressed, and had de dined 1.2 of a penny on a pound. Flour was dull. The money market had improved. There is no farther intelligence horn China— the English think the war is ended. Eastern Eu rope is still unsettled. A modification of the Corn Law is about to take place—the ministers have made a move for the abolition of the Conic MONOPOLY, and will probably succeed. There is much enthusiasm on the subject. The President hod nut boon heard of and is thought to be lost. The Americans in Liverpool held a meeting on the 90th ult. to express their profound regret at the death of President Harrison. Francis B. Ogden presided. A similar meeting was held by the Americans, in London, on the receipt of the news of the death of President Harrison, at which Mr. Stevenson, our Minister, presided. Resolu 7 tions were adopted and directed to be transmitted to Mrs. Harrison. . , . The health of. Prince Albert is very bad, and he is about to re•visit Germany for its restoration.

This is the pith of tho news by the Caledonia, if it may be called news. The 'Extra Session. Congress will conveno on Monday next. Tho National Intolligencer concludes an able article on the subjoct of its duties in the following suannOr:— Of all speculations as to what Congress may or may not do in reference to the cur rency, perhaps, after all, no more can n6ii , be set down as certain than that the Extra Session will not pass away without the, es tablishment ot some fiscal agency as a sub stitute for that which exists under the fa miliar name of the Sub-Treasury system. • The measures, in fine, which may be ex pected to become the subject of deliberation in Congress at the approaching Session s are 1. The distribution of the proceeds of, the aales of Public lands among the several States. 2. A revision and augmentation of the du ties on imports, for the purpose of secu ring from that source a revenue adequate to the wants of the Government. 3, The repeal of the Sub-Treasury law. 4. The establishment of tt fiscal , agent, cen tral or other to aid the Government in collecting and disbursing the revenue and equalizing the currency. 5. A temporary loan, if necessary, to sup ply the immediate necessities of the Treasury. These measures would at once disperse the clouds that. haws so loog over hung and yet obacure.the prospect before us. These measures, taken ,together. wank] we feet entirely confident, suffice, not only to re store to the country its wonted vigor, but to carry it forward with a firmer step than it has ever taken. We have said nothing akar! the existing public debt„.which it will be time enough to provide for at the regular annual session of Congress, when its amount will have been better ascertained than it can vet be. Nor have we taken into cowideration the ques tion of a uniform System of Bankruptcy, which seems to be within the contemplation of some of our friends as a measure to be agitated at the Extra Session; nor any oth er question of a general character, because Congress has been called together with a special view to the revenue acd the finan ces.r and it seems to be desirable, under ev ery aspect of the case, that the delibera tions of the two Houses of Congress should be limited, as far as possible, to the objects for which they have been convened.

Mr. Bowyer received Governer Sewanra requi firm on Lord Syd-nham on Thursday last at Montreal, and immediately presented it to Mr. Dominick Daly. the Governor's Sec retary, whe informed . Mr. Bowyer that His Excellency was too ill to attend to business, but be entertained no doubt the_request would-be complied with. Accordingly on Friday evening Mr. Bowyer' received the order for Mitchell's removal, and oar Satur day at 9 A. M. ►sit Mocureal with Mitchell in irons. Capt.

Mitchell is in gOod health, sad appears reckless as to his fate; avowing his deter ., ruination to plead guilty of the erinies with which be is charged. It appears !baton his flight from this city he went to Philadelphia, where, after hav ing procured a ticket at the Pittsburgh Railroad Office, (fnithe ;argon: of mislead ing any who might be in pursuit) be dis. gained himself in d snit of grey Clothes, a hived brim hat with drape han d, in which dress and green.spectacles, and white car penter's rule in his hand, for FOUR DAYS openly walked the streets of that city, Ire quently meeting persons with whom ho was well acquainted. He left Philadelphia for New York in the cars, and went up the river in the steamboat Utica, being all the while in company with persons whom he knew, but none of whom detected him through his disguise.

BANK OF THE UNITBD STATES. A n 'ad journed meeting of the stockholders of the United States Bank was held ,at Philadel tibia on Tuesday. The Investigating Committee made a further report but- its interminable length precludes its publication in our columns. Mn Lippincott also made another report on the state of the Bank, closing with a re solution accepting the provisions of the "re lief bill," and agreeing to come under any laws - which may hereafter be passed for the regulation of Banks. The resolution was adopted. Among other resolutions 'adopted was one, offered by Randall, authorizing the Board of Directors to give public notice, according to law, of an application to the Legislature for a reduction of capital and a cSange of name of the Institution; and an other, authorizing the directors to exercise their discretion as to the time and manner of pledging certain . awls for the'pay meat of the circulation and deposits of the Bank. In reply to a question, as to the condition of the bank, Mr. Bayard read the following statement, which was handed to him by the President, Col. Drayton. Relative Position of the Assets and Liu bilities of the Bank, May 17, 1841. The liabilities of the Bank, for Post Notes issued to the other city Banks, amounted to 85,078,444—and were secured by an as signment of assets, amounting to 87,772,. 256. The liabilities of the Bank, in Burcipe, weresls,B63,B29—secured by deposits of assets, amounting to 824,718,715. It was further proposed to secure other liabilities of the Bank--the circulation, deposits and balances due to other banks, amounting to $5,449.925, by a special pledge of assets amounting to 812,921,836. These arrangements would leave the amount of 817,787,536 in assets unpledg- . ed; and of liabilities $2,224,898, not secu red by any pledge._ BAD SPECULATION.-Wlll. H. Williams was tried at New Orleans for bringing slaves into the State of Louisiana, in viola• tion of the law, and wasfound nullity. The spectriavi-...turns out to be a bad one for the pithy. He loses the cost of the slaves, (24 in number,) $5OO each, is subject to fine in Louisiana of $5OO each, and forfeitP his bond to the ,State of Virginia in•tho amount of 824,000—total loss, 848,0001 The governor has issued his circular to the banks, and agreeable to the provisions of the late act of the Ler.islature, has pre scribed the form of the small notes to be issued, under that act.' It is as follows: "The Bank of will pay the bna rer (three) dollars on demand, ns directed by the act of assembly of the 4th May, 1841 W" The Philadelphia Gazette, speaking .o Mr. GREW, (the new member .of Congress from New York, to succeed Mr. Granger,) says:—These of the innumerable visitors at the capital of the nation who love novel ty, will find in seeing hir• Greig, ono great arid lionizing feature,—a minute end almost perfect resemblance to Sir Walter Scott, whose good qualities and observant knowl edge he possessesin a most liberal mea- SlllO. Twin or GEN. HABEIZON.—By the rot lowing paragraph, copied from the Shelby (Ky.) Npwa of the 4th ult. it will be seen that those with whom the decision of the goestien'properly rests, have deculed that the remains of the great and good, man whose loss a nation mourns, are to find.their permanent resting place on the bank of the Ohio river, at North Bend. We learn from Col. TODD, that on his way to his residence in this county last week, he, in performance of a sacred duty, called upon the venerable Widow of our la , mented deceased President.. Whilst there, he was invited by that lady to a consulta tion with herself and her poly remaining son, as to the ultimate depository of the re mains of her distinguished and beloved hus band,—the Great and Good.

Pills, introduced into the United States 18th May, IB3s.—There has never been on instance of these celebrated Vege table Universal Pills not giving relief; and perseverance in' old, obstinate cases, is sure of making a cure, provided nature is not en= tirely exhausted. In consequence of the plensantness of their operation, they, are universally used : in every section of this wide extended country where they are made known, and are fast superseding every other preparation of professed similar import.— Upward of fourteen thousand cases have been certified ns cured, solely from their use, since the introduction of them into the United States—thus establisang the fact, beyond all doubt, that the Brandrpth cure Veg etable Universal Pills the (apparently) most opposite diseases, by the simple act ell continually evacuating the bowels with them, until tho disease gives way; therefore whatever may be said of the theory, the utility of the practice is now beyond all doubt.
