Base itypocrisy Exposed. .4:O•We give below the concluding portion of the able and patriotic letter of Mr. Boars, a mom her of Congress from the Richmond district, \'ir• ginia, addressed to the public, in relation to the Veto on the first Bank Bill by President Tyler. When I came to Washington, at the commencement of the present session, I was the warm, intimate, personal and polit• ical friend of Mr. Tyler; those will testify to my friendship who are familiar with my course in the Virginia Legislature, when ho needed service, in the contest in which he was then engaged with his present con fidential organ in the 'Senate, whom he then thought humiliated beyond recovery, by the performance of an act, that he re signed his seat in Vie Senate rather than perform himself; and those who have heard me speak of the President, up to the mo ment that his final action on the Bank bill rivetted the conviction an my mind that all I bad seen and heard bad more meaning in it than I had been disposed to ascribe to it, will sustain the declaration of the sincerity of my attachment to him, and the public prints,-it \ scanned, would prove my disposi tion to . ..iiiipport him. The separation was u.painful tine to Me, but when all doubt was removed from my mind, when the veil was fairlydrawri aside, I indulged the expres sten of indignation I felt, in conversation'as well as in my letters; and if all the letters written at that time and since, by our polit ical friends, were copied and sent to the President or his printer, he would probably find that this indignation had not been con fined to me. In all that I have said in the letter pub lished this morning; and in all that I say I►ere, I desire it to be distinctly understood that 1 spoke then, as I speak now, for my jell, and myself alone. .1 an: not only will ing, but 1 feel able to bear the whole re sponsibility on my own shoulders; and I say. emphatically, that the bank bill refer. red to In the postscript of my letter, which I thought would pass, and to-which no stock would be subscribed, "but would serve to fasten. him," was not the bill now before the House; it was no other than the 1)1111 sent to Congress by the Secretary of the I Treasury, and which was understood, if not known, to be n Cabinet measure,• ono+ . to which we had reason to believe he stood deeply committed to every member of' his Cabinet; one to which we •hail reason to . /ettote be stood deeply committed to Congress ;tad the country. In proof or this on the same evening that Ike letter use written, at a meeting of the Whigs, I submitted a proposition that the Executive plan. a* submitted by Alf. Est , . in, should be taken up acid idopteo pre- 'r.b.ompson. dimly as it came to us, so that no pretext should be ofrered for a veto, regarding it as a matter of importance to obtain his signa ture to a bill incorporating a bank; and if the stock was not taken, as t believe it would not be, that having him "headed" by a signature w his own bill, we could after wards build up such a bank on its founda tion us would answer the purpose of the nation.. Rut so far from this proposition emanating from Mr. CLAY, as has been charged, that gentleman was, as far as I know. any thing of his opinions, opposed to any farther efforts at conciliation; and has since declared ill the Senate that it could not meet his sanction; but he would throw no obstacle in the way if his friends ' desired it. This was tho"heartlesslegislativefrayd" that was proposed to be practised on the President, to give him a chance to sign his own "ricketty NIP' that would have thrown him as much out of favor with the opposi ' tion, as his veto has thrown him in. A wonderful mare's nest, truly. that they have divcovered—But what a condition are we in! What confidence is manifested in our President when the hopes of one party, and he apprehensions of the other, are that he a to be swerved trout his duty to the nation by the publication of private letters, pre dicting that he was to 'be headed yet?' This proposition was favorably received, and would probably have been adopted as he best thing left us but tur a communica• ton subsequently made from several quav ers, which created as much surprise with us, as it will no doubt with the country.—'- Mr. Ewing's bill had not only come to us as a Cabinet measure, and understood to be a surrender of much, from his distinguished friends in the Cabinet, to conciliate the President, but he bad in his conversation with many members of Congress, endeav ored to previiil on them to vote for the bill; and on the preceding Fiiday (Aug. 13th) when the Whig delegation from Ohio, waited on the President, to inform him of the wishes of their constituents, and of the state of the public mind in Ohio, he stated to them sincerely that he would have signed Mr. Ewing's hill without the least difficulty. What then may be imagined was our surprise to learn from different sources that Mr. Tyler had afterwards said, he would not sign Mr. Ewing's bill if it did pass, as at the time he said he would, he had never read this bill; is it not to be wondered at, that 'this annunciation created something more than surprise with us; this I thought rather exceeded Mr. Van Buren and Mr: Poinsett's army bill, which the President recommended in December,and never saw until April following, for the army bill was never a subject of discussion before Con gress, much less for ten weeks, as the bank bill had been. But we were inform ed that he had read the secretary's bill and found that it contained some provision about discounting, against which he had committed himself in his veto message, and therefore he could not sign that. This was a new, if not a gave, consti Miami' objection raised by The President on that discounting power, to the action of Congress, after saying m his message of June last: "To you then, who have come more d rectly from the body of our common con stituents. I submit the entire question," (as to the State Banks, the Sub-Treasury, and the United States Bank,)"as best qualified to give a full exposition of their wishes and opinions. I shall be ready to concur with you in the adoption- of such system us you may propose, reserving to myselfthe ultimate power of rejecting any measure which may in any manner conflict with the constitution or otherwise jeopard the.prosperity of the country; a power which I could not part with if I would, but which I will not believe any act of yours will call into requisition." It is the discounting power then, that is to form either a constitutional objection, or is to jeopard the prosperity of the country, although the country itself demands it. This communication gave a new direc lion to our views, and the object has been to perfect a bill exactly in accordance with the views of the President, freed from all the obk•ctious that- -he has made, either constitutional or otherwise, as far as they could be understood; such a bill has been framed, and is now before the house; one far from being perfect in itself perhaps, but yet one that will' answer many good pur poses, and one which, upon every principle vet advanced by him, he is bound to sign. But mark my prediction: he will not sign it, but will take great pleasure, I have no doubt, in lashing us across the face again, with what has been framed to suit his pe • culler views. "captain Tyler" don't mean to give up the power that the union of the sword and the purse will furnish him with, until he has secured his ultimate object.— Captain Tyler will take great pride in showing that he is not "to be headed" even by signing his own bill, if it is to lose him the favors of the Icco feces. What is the present condition of things which hai contributed to the forfeiture of my-confidence in bite as a whim President? One-of the great distinctive features that divided us from our political opponents in the late contest was the necessity of sepa rating the purse from the hand that wields the sword. This was our strong objection, and argument against the odious Sub- Treasury; and yet within the first four months after this whig President assumes the robe of office, he by his own act, while the•bank bill is still before him, by his sig nature, repeals the Sub•Treasuzy bill; re peals the state bank system, signs a bill authorizing a loan of twelve millions of dollars, by willed the treasury is to be filled, is ready to sign the revenue bill, which raises- nutlione micro and rejects the bill providing for the safe keeping and disburse ment of the public revenue—which is de• stranded by a majority of the ICepiesenta• tives of the people exceeding the entire vote of Virginia.and South Carolina united, the two States from which the principle opposition conies. ' By. thiq course he revives the act of 1789. which passed in the infanc y of our country, and has been inoperative (*torn 1791 to the present period, and was at . all times wholly inefficient and impracticable for the present condition or the country; and which if practicable, still subjects the public money to the discretion and control of tho Executive department of the Govern- tnent, by which all the professions of the party on thi4 subject have lien condemned, and the principles for which they contend, and upon which they came into power, and more particularly so, when the President himself, under these circumstances, refuses or fails to recommend any plan for the custody of the public money, rind his con fidential friend and organ in the senate earnestly entreats Congress to adjourn with out an effort to pass any other law on the subject, because the dog days are about to begin- I believe the dog days are at hand; but perhaps that might not make it the less incumbent on Congress to take care of the public money—surely madness and not reason reigns. These are the circumstances under which it is expected 1 am to hold my peace; for fear of displeasing his Majesty; and 1 am to be rated for imprudence and indis cretion, in writing • to. my own friends and constituents about the posture of . public atLirs.

Did no official organ of the President then join the in denunciation of the principle, or did he complain us ho now does The official speaks of the gratitude I ought to feel for the influence of Mr. Tyler who contributed to give toe the seat I now occupy in Congress. If that WERE TRUE, let me toll the conductor of that paper, that gratitude for smiles and favors from the President could never drive me from my principles or my duty. And if he would study lessons of gratitude, he would pro badly learn from what source he derived ' his press and types, that he now turns upon those who redeemed them from mortgage and sacrifice. He might learn what was due to gratitude, when he looked to the source of his present profits as a' Printer to the Senate, elected by a Whig Senate un• der the supposition that he was a supporter of Whig principles. I have heard of this influence before, as coming from Mr. Tyler hitnsefl; and it rumor tells the truth, he has spokemquite as harshly of me, as I have of him; arid I have had my attention called to a letter in the New York Herald that has been bark- ing at me for some weeks past, written by the correspondent of Mr. James Gordon Bennet's paper, who appears to be an inti mate and confidential friend of the Presi dent, spending a great poition of his time at the palace, and predicting in advance, all that is to come to pass, even to the hour when the veto is to be sent in, whilst his constitutional advisers, are ignorant of his purpose, and his political friends left to grope their way in the dark, without oven an admonition to those who sacrifice them selves for his benefit. In that letter lam threatened with the vengeance of Mr. 'Ty ler's friends, who are to correct "my vaga ries!" What influence Mr. Tyler exercised in my election lamat a loss to knew, as I never heard of his being in that district from the time 1 became a candidate up to the time of the election, except while he _was discharging nis duty us a member of the Legislature of Virginia, in Richmond, when I had no need of his influence, and where he had none to exercise if I had needed it; on the contrary, he was glad to have the benefit of what little I could bring to his aid. I surely was got indebted to him for his own vote, thuugh he has been for mine more than once• Upon that score I cannot agree to break even with the gentleman; fur I think all the obligations are on his side; if any exist. Mr. Tyler has most worthy and respect. able connections add friends in a portion of the district I represent, whose confidence and good will I highly esteem and value, and should regret to lose; and if a seat in Congress, or high official station, had been uppermost la thy mind, I in;ght have be trayed my party and my friends, and given in my 'adhesion to Mr. Tyler's re-election, and sustained him in his declaim:. It Mr. Tyler's friends choose to aban don rue, for a refusal to abandon those prin ciples upon which they contributed to elect me, it will be my misfortune, but it will not be toy fault. A word as to the mode by which my letter has reached the public eye through the official organ. As 1 have before said, it was manifestly not intended for the press; it may, in the hurry of the moment, have been inaccurately directed, but it was di• rected to a reading-room strictly, and' not to a printing office, and if it had been de signed for publication. the ‘Vhigyiffice was quite as convenient us the reading•room.— Mt let the responsibility rest upon me in dividually, and not upon the party of which 1 um proud to be an humble member,that they may imagine it to have been address. ed to the Madisonian for publication as con taining not one ball that I thought and felt, and still think and feel as to the course that our Whig President has thought proper to pursue. Who copied my letter and ient it here,' or authorized or directed its publication, I do not know. kt present, it rester upon the conductor of the Madisonian. But received a letter from Riclimond two days ago informing me that a copy had been taken and was no doubt sent to the Presi dent himself. This may he the impression in Richmond, but it gives me pleasure, while I denounce him as a politician and public agent, to acquit him of the chargo or Wing vngaged pr cancerned in any We) a the publication of private letters. Par whatever opinion I may entertain of his political courfie, I believe him to be a gen. demon in all his private relations; and 1 as• cribs his recent conduct, which has been as extraordinary as mortifying, to a weak and bewildered mind, operated upon by the Workings of mad ambition. I.Quent Deus vult yrdere, print, dementia." 1 have but one favor to ask of the Madi• sonian and that is, that as ho has published ono of cry letters without uuthority, he will not refuse to publish th's by request, and then he may make the best of it. JNO. M. BOTTS. AUGUST 22. P. S. After writing the foregoing. of the suggestion of some friends, 1 addressed the following communication to the President, which was this morning returned without reply. AuGusT 21, 1841, 3 o'clock, P. M. "Sir:—By a communication received from a friend in Richmond two days since, 1 was informed that a copy of the letter published in the Madisonian of this morn ing, to which my utima is attached, had been made out and was to be sent to you. '1 desire to learn, and, respectfully aek, whether a copy of such letter was forward• ed to you, and whether its publication was by your authority, or with your knowledge? "Allow me to express the hope that your Convenience will permit you to give me an answer in the course of the evening. "Very respectfully, "JOHN M. BOTTS. ero the PRESIDENT of the United pates." I havo no comment to make, but leave each one to draw his own inference. lam sorry ho could not disclaim it; if I was not entitled to a respectful answer, his own character required a disclaimer, if ho had no connection with it. II our friends inquire whether we are to submit patiently to this state of things, pro• vided.they should be as bad as I apprehend ed, I answer for myself, nol There is one probable remedy, and one only, left us: let the people take into consideration for the action of Congress next winter; we have a majority in . both houses of Congress, and will have a larger one in the Senate next winter, and can carry any measure we do• termine on. This question is presented to us, shall we sacrifice the party, consisting of nine teen States out of twenty-six? shall we sa crifice the interests of the country for the next four years? or shall we sacrifice one man, who has been fustened as a mill stone upon the nation by an accident? I say, sacrifice the man to the country; and the mode is simple. Let Congress, setting forth the causes in a brief preamble, adopt resolutions to the following t•tl'ect. The first declaring their want of confi dence in Mr. Tyler's ability to conduct the government satisfactorily or sufeiy to the country. The second, declaring it as the opinion of Congress, that under the peculiar cir cumstances in which he was placed in pow er, the path of duty lay plain before him, either to sanction the great measures of relief that the country culled for, and to adhere in good faith to the principles upon , which he was elected, or resign the high trusts that devolved upon him, that they `might be tiansferred to those whose con stitutional and conscientious scruples would present no impediment or barrier to a na tion's happiness and a nation's weal. And if that don't answer, then resolve that in consideration of the sacrifices of power, comfort, convenience, nd hopes he is expected to make, that the BUM 0f52.5,- 000 per annum should be op ropriated to him for the next four years, •ommencing from the 4th of April last. knd if he cheeses to stay where ho is, after that, then God help us, for• we coul not help ourselves. • But this is the course I am repared to pursue, and upon deliberation, too; it may do good—it can do no harm, if we are be trayed. This may appear a harsh remedy, but desperate cases require desperate rem edies; and this case is a singular one, coin ing into power by accident, and not by the voice of the people as their President, though we cannot , make him retire, yet we may invite him to it. lam willing to go in now, and trust to my betrayed constitu ents to sustain me. JOHN M. Boll'S. ._..,..... • 9...... CoctriNitrrz Sept. 4, 1841. AWFUL RlOT!—Several Lines Lose!!— Our city was thrown into great excitement ' last night. It originated from a quarrel that took place on Thursday night, on Columbia street between a few negroes and whites, in which one of the latter was stabbed and cut awfully ,so that it is thought he cannot live. In consequece of this two or three thousand persons collected around the houses of the negroes on Sixth, East of Broadway. The negroes apprehensive of an affray, had armed themselves with ,mus kets, and fired upon the crowd. The mayor informs ho thinks two whites and two negroes aro killed, and about 15.t0 20 wounded, tnostly whites. During the affray, a cannon was brought up loaded with slugs, and fired down Sixth street two or three times, raking the streets, but with what effect is not yet known. The Mayor. who was on the ground all night, called out two military companions, the GRAYS and GUARDS, and both squares from Fifth to Seventh, are guarded by, and under control of the mill• tary and a large body °farmed volunteers, the negroes being all confined to their houses. No destruction of property of consequence had taken place. The city is still in great excitement; and a special meeting of the Council is to bo held at It) o'clock this morning, when strong measures will ,undoubtly be taken to preserve the peace of the city. A Town M eeting of the citizens general ly. is to be immediately held for lie same purpose., Tun Nzw Lain LAW.-At length this measure, for which the Whigs in Congress' have been contending for the lust ten years is happily consummated within the first third of the first year of the ascendancy of the Whigs in the Legislative end Execu tive brouches of the Government.

We hardly know whether most to re. joke in this measure as the settlement of a vexed question, continually representing itself ut every Session of Congress or as an act of justice to the States, superseding the necessity of the execution by the General Government of works of Internal Improve , merit within the States, and, where States are already indebted for such works afford ing an important aid towards the liquida tion of such debts. In these views, as well as in removing Irom our financial system a disturbing cause we agate heartily comp a tulato our readers on the pasdage of this oct. TILE STATES AND THE PUBLIC LANDS. - The bill for, the distribution of the public lands among the States, having passed both Houses of Congress, the following table possesses more than ordinary interest. It shows the amount which each State will annually receive under the bill, supposing $3,000,000 to be distributed per year, and supposing the ratio of representation under the late census to be put at 60;000. II any oilier ratio should be fixed on, the relative ?roportions will bo the same. The sums are stated in round numbers: Maine $96,000 N.

PAINFUL SUICIDE AND SUDDEN DEATLI. —The Village Record states "the wife of John Suffer, in West Nantmeal township, was found suspended by the neck in on ad. joining cornfield, on Sunday last. She was quite dead, and her knees nearly rested upon the ground. The loop was made of a skein of thread, and fastened to the limb of a small walnut tree. She was missing from Saturday morning, and although dili gent search was made, could not be dis. covered until Sunday. She had been par. tially deranged for some time. On the news of this fatal act reaching the aged mother of the deceased, she fell and expi- red! On Saturday, in the same township, another female, the wife of Joseph Neely, committed suicide by cutting her throat from ear to ear with a razor. She was in her own house, surrounded by her children, and no doubt this maloncholly act was the effect of temporary insanity." MODITES INDICTED.--.-OUIr readers will recollect an account we gave several weeks ago, of the breaking open of the jail in one of the comities in Kentucky, by a mob, who took therefrom two prisoners of the name of Mayth and Couch,and execu ted them by hanging them to the boughs of a tree. The offence which the prisoners had committed was that of maiming and brutally beating an individual, a resident of a neighboring county. We are highly gretihed to perceive that the'grand jujy in the county where the outrage was commit. ted by the mob, have found nine bills of in dictment for murder in the first degree, agitinst the individuals concerned in it.— Thu judge under whose direction this pro• ceeding is had, deserves great commends• lion for his conduct, which will have the effect of avenging this outrageous violation of the law, and setting an example that will be attended with salutary effects.— Pat. THE BOUNDARY QUESTION AND ,THE DISPUTED TERRITORY. — •The Bangor Whig says,—"The United• States Troops ordered to occupy the posts at Aroostook and Fish River, in the disputed Territory, started from Militia' on Tuesday last.— The first detachment started with a heavy team or oxen and all the necessary imple ments for clearing the roads, and for erect• ing suitable quarters and barracks. A good military road, supported at the ex pense of the General Government, from Houlton to Fish River, may soon be expect • ed and a regular mail route with a post office at Fish river and the Aroostook will be established immediately. The General Government is now fairly upon the territo ry, and there will be . no backing out until a final settlement of the question, which un der the present efficient administration, cannot be long delayed."

In thy message sent to the Senate on the 16th day of August last, returning the bill "to incorporate the subscribers to the Fis cal Bank of the United States," I distinctly declared that my own , opinion bud been uniformly pronounced to be against the ex ercise "of the power of Congress to create a National Bank to operate per ae over the Union;" and entertaining that opinion my S.

In such a case he has no al ternative. He must either exert the negative power intrusted to him by the Constitution chiefly for its preservation, and defence, or commit an act of gross moral turpitude. Mere re gard to the will of a majority must not, in an constitutional republic like ours, control this sacred end solemn duty of a sworn offi cer. The Constitution itself, I regard and cherish, us the embodied and written will of the whole People of the United States. It is their fixed and fundamental law; which they unanimously prescribe to the public functionaries—their mere trustees and ser vants. This, their will, and the law which they have given us as the rule of our action, has no guard, no guarantee of preservation, protection, and defence, but the oaths which it prescribes to the public officers, the sanc tity with which they shall religious!) ob sill-ye the oaths, and the patriotism with which the people shall shield it by their own sovereign will, which has made the Constitution supreme. It must be exerted against the will of a mere representative majority, or not at all. It is alone in pursuance of that will that any measure can aver reach the President; and to say that because a majority in Congress have passed a bill, the President should therefore sanction it, is to abrogate the pow er altogether, and -to render its insertion in the Constitution a work of absolute surperee rogation. The duty is to guard the funda mental will of the people themselves from (in this case I admit unintentional) change Or infraction by a majority in Congress.— And in that light alone, do I regard the constitutional duty which I now most re luctantly discharge. Is this bill, now-presented for my appro val or disapproval, such a bill as I havo already declared could not receive my sanc tion? Is it such a bill as calls for the exercise of the negative power under the Constitu floe? Does it violate the Constitution, by creating a national bunk, to operate per se over the Union? Its title,in the first place, describes its general character. It is "An act to provide for the better collection, safe keeping and disbursement of the public re venue. by ineani of a corporation, to he styled the Fiscal Corporation of the United States. In style, then, it is plainly wowe din its character. Its powers, functions, and duties, are those which pertain to the collecting, keeping, and disbursing tho public revenue. The means by which these are to be exerted is a corporation, to be styled the F iscal Corporation of the United States. It is a corporation cleated by the Congress of the United States, in the character of a National Legisloture fur the whole Union,to perform thefisea/ purposes, meet the fiscal wants and exigencies, sup ply the fiscal uses, and exert the fiscal agencies of the Treasury of the United States. Such is its own description of it self. Do its provisions contradict its title? They do not. It is true, that by the first section, it provides that it shall be estab lished in the District of Columbia, but the amount of its capital—the manlier in which its stock is to be subscribed for and held— the persons, bodies, corporate and politic, by whom its stock may bo held— the ap pointment of its directors, and their powers and duties—its fundamental articles, espe cially to establish agencies in any part of the union the corporate powers and busi , ness of such agencies—the prohibition .01 congress to establish any other corporation with similar po - wers for twenty years, with express reservation in the same clause, to modify or create any bank for the district of Columbia, so that the aggregate capital shall not exceed five millions, without cow! 'nitrating other features which are equally distiqctive spd characteristic, clearly show that frlannot be regarded as other than a Bank of the United States, with pow, era seemingly more limited than have here tofore been granted to such an institution.— It operntes per se over the Union, by virtue of the unaided, and, m my view, assumed authority of Congress us a National Logi* , latoreos cristinguisbahle - from a bank croft: tcd fly courfess fur the District of Coluna . lea. as the local Legislature of tbeDistrict Every United State* Biel( ,heretofore c reated has ha i pnwei to oval in bills of exchange, as wall as in Iscal Siseieuits.-s -13oth were trading privileges coef"erredsind bee, exerci-ed, by virtue Of the aforesaid power of Ciingress, e'er the whole Union. Toe (pssion of power remains unchanged, without reference to the extent of privilege granted. If this proposed Corporation is to ba regarded us a local bunk of the Dis trict of Columbia. invested by Congress with general powers to operate over the Union, it is obnoxious to still stronger oh jections It assumes that Congress may auvest a local institution with general, or national powers. With the same propriety that it may do this in regard to a bank of the District of Columbia, it may as to a• State bank, Yet who .can indulge the idea that this Govern ment can rightfully, by making a State bank its fiscal agent, invest it with the ab solute and unqualified powers conferred by this bill? . ‘V hen I como to look at the do tails of the bill', they do not recommend it strongly to my adoption. A brief notice of some of its provisions will suffice. First. It may justify substantially u , system of discounts of the most objectiona ble character. It is to deal in bills of ex change drawn in one State and payable in • another, without any restraint: Tho bill of exchange may have an unlimited time to run, and its renewability is no where xuarded against. It may, in fact, assume ' I the most objectionable form of acommoda• lion paper. It is not required .to rest on any actual, real, or substantial - exchange basis; a drawer in ono place becomes the acceptor in another, and an on in turn the acceptor may become the drawer, upon a mutual understanding. It mayiat the same time, indulge in mere local discount under the name of bills of exchange. A bill drawn at Philadelphia on Camden, New Jersey; at Now York on a border town in New Jersey; at Cincinnati on Newport, Kentucky, not to multiply other examples, might, for any thing in this bill to restrain jt, become a mere matter of local accommo dation. Cities thus relatively_ situated would possess advantages over cities other wise situated, of so decided a character as most justly to excite dissatisfaction. 2d. 'nine is no limit prescribed to the premiunri, in the purchase of bills of ex change; thereby correcting none of the evils under which the community now labors, and operating most injuriously upon the agricultural States, in which the inequality of the rates of exchange are most severely felt. Nor are these the only consequences. A resumption of specie payments by the banks of these States, would be liable to indefinite postponement; for as the opera. tion of the agencies of the interior would chiefly consist in selling trills of exchange, and the purchases could only be made in specie, or the notes of banks paying specie. the State banks would either have to con tinue with their doors closed, or exist at the mercy of this national monopoly of brokerage. Nor can it be passed over without remark, that while the District of, Columbia is made the seat of the principal bank, its citizen* are excluded from all participation in any benefit it might afford, by a positive prohibition of the bank from all discounting within the District. These are some of the objections which prominently exist against details of the bill; others might be urged of much force but it would be unprofitable to dwell upon them: suffice it to add, that this charter is de signed to continue for twenty years, with out a competitor; that the defects to which 1 have alludeil being founded in the funda mental law of the Corporation, are irrevo cable; and that if the objections be well founded, it would be over hazardous to pass the bill into a luw.. In conclusion, I take leave most respect •fully to say, that I- have felt the most anxious solicitude to meet the wishes of Congress in the adoption of a Fiscal Agent, which avoiding all constitutional objections should harmonize conflicting opinions-- Actuated by this feeling, I have been ready to yield much, in a spirit of conciliation, to the opinions of ethers; and it is with great pain that 1 now feel compelled to differ from Congress a second time in the same session. At • the commencement of this session, inclined from choice to defer to the legislative will, I submitted to Con gress the propriety of adopting a Fiscal Agent which, without violating the Consti tution, would separate the public moneys from the Executive control, perform the operations.of the Treasury, without being burdensome to the people, or inconvenient, or expensive. to the Government. it is deeply to be regretted that this Department of the Government cannot, upon constitu- Ilonal and other .grounds, concur with the Legislative Department in this last measure proposed to attain these desirable objects. Owingsto the brief space petween the peel od of the death of my lamented predeces sor, and my own installation into office, I was in fact, not left time to prepare and submit a definite recommendation of my -own regular message; and piece, my mind has been must w holly occupied in u must anxious attempt to conform my action to the Legislative will. In this communica tion,l am confined by the Constitution to my objedions, simply to this bill, but the period of the regular Session will soon arrive, when it will be my duty under another clause of the Constitution "to give to Con : gress information of the State of the Union, .and recommend to their consideration such measures us shall judge necessary and • Expedient.' " And I most respect fully submit in a spirit of harmony, whether the • prese.tt difFerences of opinion should be pressed further at this - time, and whether the peculiarity of my situation dues net es tate i r i e to a postponement of this subject to a more aespiciiies period for deliberation. The two Douses of Congress helve due tinguished themselves at this extraordinary session, by the pe-rformance ofan immense mess of labor ut a season very u l e a s s i s si e iset, to lieu'.', and action, send have parsed i s se:„ l o ss, whiel, trust will provishighiy beneficial to the interests of the country, and fully answer its just expectations. It has been my good fortune and pleasure to concur with them in all measures, except this, and why should our difference on this alone bo pushed to extremes? It id my anxious desire that they should not be. I, t oa v have been burdened with ext raordinary labors of late, and sincerely desire time for deep and deliberate reflection on this; the gamiest difficulty of my administration.— May we nut now pause, until a more fe vorable time, when, with the most anxious hope that the Executive and Congress may cordially untie, some measure of finance may be deliberately adopted, promotive of the good of our common country. I will take this occasion to declare, that the conclusions to which I have brought myself are those of a settled conviction, founded on my opinion, on a just view of the Constitution, that, in arriving at it, I have been actuated by no other motive or desire than to uphold the institutions of the country as they have come down to us from the hands of our godlike ancestors; andl shall esteem my efforts to sustain them, even though I perish, more honora ble than to win the applause of men, by a sacrifice of my duty and conscience+. JOHN TYLER. WAPIIINGTON, September 9, 1841. 2e3V2I'LIUMS AND REPUBLICAN BANNER. GEE TYSBURG. September 14. 1841. We are authorized to say that Messrs. Burden and Mormon are expected in this place according to arrangement, on to-morrow, and will Lecture on the subject. of Temperence in the evening at 7 o'clock in the English Lutheran church. Diotriet 'Meetings. Meetings, it will bo soon have been called, as was desired by the County Convention, for sev eral days immediately preceding the Election.— " . ..et our friends hold themselves In readiness to attend. They have been •published thus early, that all might make it convenient to attend. • The proceedings of the Conferees as pqblished to-day, show that our worthy follow•citizen Col. M. C. CLAnusoN, with Taos. G. M'CoLzon, Esq. of Franklin, have been unanimously nomi• noted to the people of this district as candidates for the Senate. Our Ticket is now complete, and we repeat our belief, that a Ticket composed of firmer, stronger, and latter men could nut be se lected. Cul. Clarkson needs no recommendation. His long residence in our midst is the best intro ()notion that, can be given him to the voters of the district. He Is kinO%Veiiiiiery portion of it and known but to be honored and esteemed.— With such a candidate, firmly devoted to the in terests of tho State—opposed to all the mal-chn duct, and prodigality which has characterized the Porter Administration, Adams County will nut fail to yield him that hearty support which will sconce hint a triumphant election to the Senate of Penney lvania. Lady's Book. We have received the September number of the Lady's Book. This number is "got up" in mag nificent style, and at immense expense. The em. belliehrnenta of which alone cost the 'publisher over $l6OO, and consist of s beautiful engraving of "Shakespear before Sir Thomas Lucy. fur Kill ing a Doer,"—the "Rose of the Boudoir"-.-Lace Work and embossed Roses, surrounding Moss Rose and buds—a Fashion Plato—and two pages of Music. Another Veto. On Thursday.last, President Tyler sent in to Congress his second Veto Message in relation to a National Bank. This Message is somewhat more conciliatory in tone than his.first ono. We give it to our readers and leave tliem to pass their own judgment upon it. .redling Governor. Governor Porter has been pilling himself a bout from town to hamlet, as General David ft. -Porter, attending encampment's. York and Berks Counties have already been the theatres of exhi bition—at ono of which, says a Lucofoco corres pondent by his press,—"the courage and brave conduct of Gov. Porter won the Aomxnerios of all." Good! for these peaceable times. Cum berland is to -give another encampment for his benefit. Well, we have no objection to a State trip being taken. Ho was soon satisfied at York —ten dollars a bead was too much for voters at Berks—and in.Cumburland, if his organ there be correct, according to their own showing all the true soldiers are for JOUR BAIMS and a new Governor—our Adams County Colonel at their head. So we go. 1:13T hare a change!" comes to us- from every quarter. Aye! it is all that can raise the credit of the State. Another term for Porter, and in all time to come, it. will hardly be possible to be rid of the mammoth debt--now FORTY TWO MILLIONS of dollars. Another teice fur Porter and the State will be compelled to have the benefit of the General Bankrupt Law extended to her.—to deliier over her property—and come out to start anew with experience to teach to se• lect honest, economical, capable men to guide her affairs. We will have a change of Rulers. Our Locofoco (Hellas have nominated Jas. 411cLanohan, of Franklin county, and Wm. R.

Important—Two of the. Cab inet Resigned. • The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday morning last says,' the accounts from Washington last eve ning topresent that city to be in great eiciteinent. During tho day,, became known that Mr Evr rho hod resigned the office of becrotary of the Treasury, and Mr. Camsenurr, that of Attorney General. ft wail also said confidently that Mr. BELL and Mr. BADGEII would rvsign to-day,' but nothing was said of Mr. WensTra and Mr. On ANGER. The personal rencontres in Oe House on Fri day between Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Botts, and on Thursday between Mr. Stanly and Mr. Wise, have been amicably settled, and the facts have been so reported to the House of Representatives. Between Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Botts it was only a quarrel of words. Albof the Bills before Congress --the Revenue Bill and all—are ,how passed.. Wm. M. Porter has been appointed Poat Master at. Carlisle, Pa. A FisticuiFin the House! A disgraceful scene occurred in the Houser-of Representatives on Thursday last, between. Mr: \Visa of Virginia, and Mr. ST.LXLI of N. Gerali ne. The following account of the ..rencontro" is given by the correspondent of the Patriot: "Mr. Wise and Mr. Stanly had butt; been engaged in the discussion of the diplo. matic Bill, and the pending amenanient which was to to strike out the appropria• tion for a Charge to Naples, or otherwise to concur with the Senate in the motiva to strike out. Mr. Stanly had refered to the Veto—to the come of Mr. Wise—to the Charge at Naples being Mr. Throop of New York—to the knowledge Mr. Wise had of this. Charge from information he obtained as one of the investigating corn.. milieu iu New York two or three years since. These references, Mr. Wise spoke of in bad temper, as havirig a little maleYo lence, putting on sneering and insulting emphasis on the word little. Mr. Stanly, quick as a flash, retorted, And hurled back the Words little malevolence by upplying, thorn to Mr. Wise for having made the remark. Both members sat down—Mr. -Wise to bad temper, Mr. Stanly having none, or displaying none. In a moment or• two the member from Virginia crossed over to the member from North Carolina, and commenced a conversation not very friendly in its design, and ending in hard words and not harmless blows. For sonic epithet or other used by Mr. Wise, Mr. Stanly gave him the lie. An attempted blow from Mr. Wise followed, which was either warded off by Mr. Stah4,or he missed his aim. lf a blow, us Mr. Wise says it was, it was blow for blow—and Mr. 1 Wise was struck three times, and bad his face scratched in the renc entre. A brief apology to the House followed from Mr. IVise, and an explanation from Mr. &only. Mr. Wise said ho was very cool, and humbly asked the pardon of the House for having offended against its rules. He had heard language under which ho could not remain silent, and becoming excited after warning and remonstrating, he had struck thegentlemarkfrom North Carolina. . Mr. Stanly then gave his ve rsion of the story which was, as Mr. Wise had stated, that the gentleman from Virginia, had left his seat and come to him, remonstrating with him, and warning him in threatening language, and even inviting birn to leave the Hall and go into the lobby. Ile had said to him, "go your own way." and retur. Ding to him after leaving him, he had used language, for the utterance of which he had given him the lie. "He then trie , ,O, to strike me," said Mr. Manly, "but, L warded off his blow and if the-House had not interfer ed, I would have given him as good a whip ping as a man ever had." To the House, Mr. Sturdy had no apology to offer." Conferee Oleeting. At a meeting of Conferees from the counties of Cumberland, Franklin and Ad• ains,,friendly to the election of the lion. Sour t DA•mis, held at the House of Robert Cochran in Shippeoshurg, on die 9th day of September, A. D. 1841, the fellowing named gentlemen appeared us Conferees, viz: ' Cumberland. County.—Col.

Smyser, William Morrison,anil William Russell.* Ou motion, the Conference proceeded to nominate Candidates, to represent this Senatorial District in the Senate of Penu• syJvania, when it appeared that THOMAS G. McCULLOII, Esq. of Franklin Coun ty and Col. MICHAEL C. CLARKSON of Adams County were unanimously nomi nated. The following resolutions were unani• mously adopted, viz: Resolved, That the Senatorial ticket this day nominated is hereby recommended to the undivided support of the Democratic Whig Party in this Senatorial District, as every way entitled to their votes and ap.. proval. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the amendment proposed by the last Legis lature, to the Constitution of this State, limiting the eligibility oldie Executive to a single term, and. as the subject is to be brought before the people at the coming election, we invoke for it the same support and recognition which they gave it at the ever memorable election oflB4o, when the lamented Harrison was the embodiment of this salutary and popular principle. Resolved, That we approve of the Bill passed by the last Legislaturo, providing for the election of the Caual Commission ers by the people, which has been pocketed by the present Executive, after vetoing a previous Bill expressly upon the ground that it did not provide tor such election. Resolved, That we entertain the cod dent'assurance that in the election. of honest John Banks, as thenext Governor of this Cenunonwealth, Pennsylvania gill be at rested in the downward ca reer. of prodigali- I ty which has, under the present adminis tration, involved her m almost irretrievable ruin. _ Resolved, That. these proceedings be signed by the President and Secretary, and published in all the L)rn►ocratic papers in the District. WM. R. WOODBURN, Pres% JASPER E. Brtanit,Sec'y. !Mr. Russimt. was substituted for Mr. LILLY by the Adeuns county Conferees, the latter having been detained at home by indisposition. ONE MlN.—The Norristown Free Press says,—"Are the, people aware that an amendment to the Constitution of the State is to be voted upon by them at the coming election! The question is whether the office of Governer shall be limited to a single term of three years. It is an impor tant amendment, and will do more to pro- Mote the welfare of the State, and insure the proper management of its affairs, than any other measure which could be devised." TILE BIIADDEE MAIL ROBBRRB.—The Pittsburg Morning Chronicle states that the United States deputy marshal! has ar rested Mrs. Collins, the mother.in•law of the celebrated Dr. Braddee, on suspicion of being concerned in the robberies of which ho bad been convicted. More discoveries have been made in relation to 'the. ufFtir. Mrs. collins was committed to jail in de fault of bail to the amount of e5OOO, which was required.

WORTH TIOCINO.—At a time when so great a destruction of life and property by lightning is almost daily being recorded, the following simple receipt is presented as a sure preventative. "Always carry a re ceipt for your paper, ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE, in your breeches pocket." This has never been known to fail, and it is believed, there is not a single case un record in which a person was ever struck who adhered to this simple rule. it's worth trying, aoy how! Old Guard.

During the space ef" tune, about fifteen minutes, required to re adjust the gallows, the poor fellow prated fervent ly, and exhorted the persons assembled around him, against those indulgences in vice, which so often lead to results, us fatal as that whicli was about to terminate his own career. lie was then again placed en the platform and a second time swung oft; and after a few struggles ceased to live. THE PRESENT SEASON.It should be remembered at this season of the vent, that our bodies are more liable to become diseased than at any other period; because the sudden changes of the weather, by acting as they do on the Constitution and quality ofthe Blood, produce a foul state of Blood, and other fluids which gene rate corruption, and not 'infrequently death. It is an established truth, that no pain or sickness can be experienced except from the preseuco of depraved humors, which, if not posititively corrupt, soon becorns so if not speedily removed from the body. On the first feeling of pain or wealruess, the body must have a vegetable cleansing in order to prevent fittal results taking place. For it is at all times easier to pre. vent that to cure disease; because by taking a preventive course we do not debilitate the natural functions of the body, strength. en and assist them: Brandreth's Vegeto• ble Unieersol Pills aro all that is required.
