DR. RELFES’ AROMATIC PILLS
H.AVE been long celebrated as a most; valuable and eflica
cioiis remedy against those general complaints peculiar
to the female portion of society. They cleanse, purify, and
promote a free and brisk circulation of the blood, when he
come sluggish and languid from the afllicting ailments for
which these Pills are asafe and effectual specific. They
assist the suspended operations of the saiiguifcrotts system,
when nature requires it, and rectify the irregular habits or
the unhealthy female, whose sickly and palid countenance
becomes rcanimatetl, and fresliens with the natural glow of
restored health. ’l‘liey are a. tried and approved remedy in
obstriictions, rlclrility, Iiypocliondria, green siclmcss, giddincss, pal
pilubion of the Iicart, bud ¢h'gcstion,1oat/ting Qffood, pain: of the
stomach, s/iorhiess of breath, upon every little motion, sinking
of the spirits and its consequence, a dejected countenance
and dislike for exercise and conversation. Tltcy are equally
conducive to the health of married ladies, except. in cases of
pregnancy, or hectic and consumptive habits, when they must
not be taJ:cn. But they may be administered to great advan-
tage a_month or more after accouclmu-nt, for the purpose of
cleansing the system and purging those gross huinours,
which, when retained, lay the foundation of numerous di-
seases, and render the incautious subject unhealthy for life.
They should also be taken by all women from 45 to 50, to
prevent the dangerous disorders consequent: upon that cri-
tical period of female life. They have been further found,
by experience, to afford apowcrful rcmedyin all hypocliondriac,
fl_l/5/6776, and vapour-isli disorders, botlt in men and women, whose
nervous system they strengthen and regulate, aid nature in
throwing oil‘ those gross and superabundaiit liiimoiirs which
produce melancholy and dcpressioii of spirits, retro‘.-‘ate the
body, reaniinatc the mind, and diffuse a general chccrfulness
and elasticity throughout the whole system. Price $1 50 a

ODE FOR THE TORY CELEBRA-
TION.
JULY 4th, 1834.
Tune——I-Iail to the Cliirgf.
Ninety-nine cheers for the hot-headed hero !
Ninety-nine more for Van llurou his squire !
Who sit at their leisure and fiddle like Nero.
Enjoying the frolic, while Rome is on fire.
Hurrah for Hickory!
None but old nick or he
Could help us poor fellows to dine !
VVe are all collar men;
Anarchy come again!
Hurrah for Jackson.’ Blanks, Paper and Twine!
lfyou ne’er drive a loom nor catch a cod fish again!
Think of his GLORY, and shut tip your tongue.
Did he not shoot half a dozen militia men !
Were not Ambrister and Arbuthnot hung!
Did he not shut a judge
Up for a little grudge!
Down with the monster, and give us pet baitks.
Now we are in for it,
\Vho cares a pin for it!
I-Iurrah for Jackson ! Twine, Paper and Blanks!
Fill for the Hero, who never like Sawney,
VVent “ buck agin.” having utter’dliis mind ;
Fill for the clieifpuppet Treasury Taney,
Who bing rejected most wisely rcsign’d.
Fill us a briininer then,
Health to the skimtner men,
Diving in kitchens with Kendall to dine!
Pensions and slavery!
Collars and knavcry!
Hurrnli for Jackson ! Blanks, Paper and Twine!
A bumper for him—,but the tale is said, oh .'
The pledge in his pocket, stow’d snugly away!
The dog lost. the meat, while he snapp’d at the
shadow!
The ass was perplex’d, ’twixt the bundles ofhay
The Sc'nate’s a stumper !
Then fill us it bumper
Ofstrong Congress water ;‘ there’s nothing so fine,
For astomach neglected,
Or Statesman rejected,
Hurrah for the Hero I Blanks, Paper and Twine !
When the whiskey runs taper, ’tis painful to tarry;
But the world is so prosperous,wlio can be sad I
Let us drink up the dregs then to sweet Maj.Barry
The dearest Post Master that ever we had.
"fis an era of meirimoutl
Happy experiment!
Barry deserves every cditor’s thanks.
Like a burgundy plaster,
Lct’s stick to our Master !
Hurrah for the Hero! Twine, Paper and Blanks.
MISCELLANY.
“IN THAT SLEEP WHAT DREAMS MAY corms.”
VVhat strange names are sometimes tacked
to other strange names? An English
newspaper has the following; “Married,
Mr Joseph Snorer, to Miss Arabella Sleep.”
It is supposed a fine flock of dreams may

Prrnv ANSWER TO A SHORT Aovn'risu-
MENT.-—A. shopkeeper in Grand street, the
other day, stuck upon his door the follow-
ing lacotiic advertisement : “ A Boy
Wanted.” On going to his shop the next
morning, he beheld a smiling little urchin
in a basket, with the following pithy label:
“ Here he is.”
It is said that when Col. Crocket heard
his name called, and that he had received
our; vote for speaker, he rose up, shook his
mane, gave one ofhis most riprorious grins,
and sang out, “ that.’s nie~—go ahead.”
From -the Encvelopcndia Americana.
BIOGRAPHY OF GEN. LAEAYETTE.
He was born at Chavagnac, in Auvergnc
Sept. 6th, 1757, was educated in Paris, at
an early age was appointed an ofliceroftlie
guards of honor, and at 17 was married to
the grand daughter oftlie Duke de Noailles.
At 19 strongly imbued with the love of lib-
erty aud dcprecating the inactive lifehe led
at the court, he secretly left France for
America, and landed at Charleston, S. G.
April 25, 1777. The state of this country
at that time, was most gloomy; a feeble
army, without clothing or arms, was with
difficulty kept together before a victorious
enemy, the goveriimentwas without resour-
ces or credit, and the American agents in
Paris were actually obliged to confess that
they could not furnish the young nobleman
with a conveyance. “ Then,” said he, “I
will fit out a vessel myself,” and he did so.
The sensation produced by his arrival in this
country was very great: it encouraged the
almost disheartened people to hope for
succor and sympathy from one of the most
powerful nations in Europe. Immediately
after his arrival, Lafayette received the of-
fer of a command in the continental army,
but declined it, raised and equipped in body
of men at his owti expense, and he e_ntered
the service as a volunteer without pay. He
lived with Wasliiugton, and won his full af-
fcctioti, and confidence. He was appointed
Major General in July, and in September
was wounded at the battle of Brandywine.
In 1778, he was employed in Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island, and after receiving the
thanks of the country for his eminent ser-
vices, embarked at Boston, in January
1799, for France, where by his personal
exertions, the treaty with America was
made effective in our favor. ' He returned
with a French force, and received the coin-
mand of 2000 men, whom he clothed and
equipped at his own expense. I-Iis forced
marches to Virginia in 1780, raising 2000
guineas at Baltimore, on his own credit, to
supply the wants of of his troops, his res-
cue of Richmond, his long trialof General-
ship with Cornwallis, who boasted that “the
boy could not escape him ;" the siege of
Yorktown, and the storming of the redotibt,
are proofs of his devotion to the cause of
American Independence.
After the leading events of the war, La-
fayette returned to France; but in 1784, in
consequence of pressing invitations, he was
induced to revisit this country for the third
time. He visited the principal cities; and
was every where received with the greatest
enthusiasm and delight. Previous to his
return Congress appointed a deputation,
consisting of one member from each State,
totake leave in behalf of the country and to
assure him oftlie regard of our citizens fo__r
his honor and prosperity.
On his arrival in France, he was zeal-
ously engagcd in cndeavoring to mitigate
the condition of the Protestants of that
country, and to effect the abolition of slave-
cry. He took aleadiiig part in all the po-
litical measures of France, was elected a
member of the National Assembly, and
commander-iu-chiefofthe National Guards
of Paris : by his exertions he saved the lives
of the Royal family from the fury of the
populace. In I790 he supported the mo-
tion for the abolition of titles of nobility,
from ,which period he renounced his own
and never afterwartls resumed it. The con-
struction of a representative monarchy was
the object of his wishes, which being adop-
ted, he swore fidelity to the constitution, and
retired to his estate; peremptorily declin-
ing the office of constable of France.
In 1792, Lafayette rendered himself an
object ofpersecution, by his denunciations
of the Jacobins, then seeking to destroy the
liberties of the country. He was accused
oftreason and burntin effigy. Subsequent-
ly he was captured by an Austrian patrole
mid carried with great secrecy to Olmntz,
where he was detained prisoner, suffering
great hardships, for five years. \Vashing-
ton wrote directly to the Emperor of Aus-
tria for his release, but without effect. On
his release in I797’, he declined the dignity
of Senator offered him by Bonaparte, gave
his vote against the consulate for life, and
taking no further interest in public affairs,
devoted himself to agricultural pursiiits.—
After the return of Napoleon to the throne
in I815, Lafayette was strongly urged to
accept the peerage ; he declined, butacccp-
tcd the place. of representative, to which
the votes of his fellow citizens called
him. During the troubles which stibsc-
quently took place, a committee of five
members from each house was appointed to
consult with the ministers. Of this depu-
tation La Fayette was a member, and he
moved the appointment of a committee to
demand the abdication of the Empcror.——
The motion was not put, but Napoleon sent
in his addiction the next mornin<r.
In 1818, Lafayette was again called from
his retirement to take his seat as a member
ofthc Chamber of Deputies, where be con-
tinued to maintain his constitutional princi-
ples.
In 1824, at the request of the President,
and the urgent requests of Iiundrcds of our
people, he was induced to pay a fourth visit
to the United States. He landed at New
York and was received with a general burst
of delight. He was proclaimed bytlie pop-
ular voice, “ The Guest of the Nation,” and
his presence was every where the signals
of festivals and rejoiceing. He passed
through twenty-four states of the Union, in
a sort of triumphal procession, in which all
parties joined to do him honor. On quitting
our shores he took leave of. our four ex-
Presidents ofthc United States,and received
the farewell of the President in the name
ofthc nation. He sailed for France in an
American frigate,/ named, in coiriplitnciit
to him, the Brandywine.
During the revolutioti in France ofJu|y
I830, Lafayette was appointed Gciicral-in-
chicfoftlie Nutioiiul Guards in Paris, and
though not personally engaged in the fight,
his actions and name were of the greatest
service. VVhen the national guards were
established throughout the country, after the
termination of the struggle, he was appoin-
ted their commander-in-chief, and his ac
he was made .Marshal of France, but his
principles being to much on the republican
order to meet the views of the King, he re-
signed, iti December followintr. From that
period until his decease, he was an active
member ofthc Chambers of Deputies, in
which he successively distinguished himself
by his devotion to republican principles.
The foregoing is but a brief and imper-
fect revicw of some of the leading incidents
in the life ofLafnyette, our limits not allow-
ing us to go more into detail, although ina-
terials for an interesting biographical sketch
are ample. ,Tliroughout the whole course
ofliis life this venerable patriot seems not to
have wavered in any particulai',f'rom the sup-
port of republican principles. In his youth
at an age in which the principles of most
individuals are not formed,he left the splen-
dor ofa court residence to figlit in the al-
most hopeless cause of America.
He eiicountcrd many dangers, made heavy
sacrifices, and persevered in his exertions,
until he saw our country independent. On
his return to France, he still possessed the
same principles, and in ever subsequent act
of his life, so far as circumstances would
adtiiit, he endeavored to put thetn in prac-
tice. The world has seeti few such men as
Lafayette. In his private character he was
amiable and conciliating, in his public life
firm and decided. He possessed, in an cin-
inent degree, the happy faculty of securing
the esteem and good will of all around him,
and he has gone to his grave, at an advan-
ced age, with much more Izonorand renown
than usually falls to the share of a single
individual. His memory will ever be res-
pected.
NEW YORK CUSTOM I-IoUsis.—'I'lie following
description of this C(lIIlC(‘, now erecting, is from
the Journal of Commerce:
“It is to be I77 feet long, and 89 feet
wide, and the form and order ofthc building
to be similar to that of the Parthenon of
Athens. It is to stand on a basement story.
ascended by 19 steps from VVall street, and
six steps on Pine street. There are to be
eiglit Grecian doric columns at each front,
and fifteen columns and anti}: on each side
attached to the‘ walls. _There is also to be
a second row of six smaller columns back
of and parallel with the main front, leaving
:1 space of ten feet between the two rows,
and nine feet between the inner row and
front wall oftlie building. Back of the two
extreme coltiinns of the inner row there are
to be twp_:int-.0, and six antic flfldcllt‘-£1 I0
the walls.of the rear front, leaving a space
of 8 feet and a half between the columns
and the antic. There will thus be tweiit_v-
four outside columns, five feet eight inches
diameter at the bottom, and thirty-t.-.vo feet
high, including the capital, and eighteen
antic on the two sides of the same height,
five feet wide, and three feet nine inches
projecting from the walls. The six inner
columns of the main front will be four feet
eight inches diameter at bottom, and the
antic to correspond. The building is to be
two stories high, except the great business
Iiall, partofwhich is to bc vaulted as high
as the room will permit, and its centre fin-
ishcd with a dome sixty-two feet in diame-
ter. This hall will occupy the centre of
the building, and will be one liuudred and
fifteen fectllung, leaviiig a small vestibule
at each end to enter from. It is to be sev-
enty-seven feet wide in the centre yirrrt,
which is a circle of severity feet diameter,
with the length and breadth of the rootn
extending beyond its circumference to these
dimensions; and the four parts so extended
beyond the circle are tliirty-tlirec and a
half feet wide, leaving six rootns and three
circular stair cases in the four corners, the
two largest rooms to be twenty-four by
twenty-tine feet each, besides a square stair-
case in the rear, and three vaults for papers
at the two ends of each vestibule. The
same division oftlie room is made in the
second story. Nearly all some num-ber,
shape, and sizes of rootns are bad in the
basement, as above in the other stories,
leaving all the area ofthc same sli-ape and
size as the great hall immediately about it;
with the addition of sixteen flirted doric col-
umns to support the vaulting and pavement
under the dotne of the great Iiall.

which conveyed the party to the whortlcber-
ry grounds, were of every possible descrip-
tion, rigged out for thcoccasion, and forming
a cavalcade that would have contrasted
singularly with ti regiment of British Regu-
lars, some fifty-nine years ago, and ten
cliaticcs to one ptit them to fIight,,or brought
them suddenly to a halt. The most conspi-
cuous vehicle arrangement was a hay cart
converted into an omnibus, and ingeniously
decorated with flags and evergreens, fantas-
tically and beautifully arranged, that its
original features were entirely hidden, and
nothing was visible but a pleasure car.
There! was another “everlastingly great
and almighty capricious” affair, which was
called the Eartlir_]ua/cc——bu,t whether from
the rumbling of the wheels withotit, or the
clutter of the tongues within, the (lcponeut
sayetli not.—All the vehicles were well ar-
ranged and well filled, and :1 merrier mid
happier party never set out on an excursion.
Arriving at the fields, they (lisporscd them-
selves amongst the bushes, and employed a

bussy hour or two in gathering the berries,
whilst a darkeyed and romontic girl potired
her sylph-like voice through the thick fol-
iage, accompaincd by the responsive tones
ofthc Spanish guitar. So passed the after-
noon, until the announcernent oftlie evening
repast, which had been provided by the
"ladies, under the wide spreading and shad-
owing hranclies oftlie iieigliboriugtrecs, and
was displayed elegantly and in profusion.
An amiable sociability cliaracterized the
feast, and indicated the unalloyed liapiness
of the _CIleCl'IIlI partakers.
At its conclusion, the baskets which con-
tained tltefruit of the afternoon’s frolic,
were arranged mi the tables and sold by an
amateur auctioneer for the benefit of the
poor of Lexington, and produced the very
liberal sum of $49 (39. Among the put‘-
cliascrs, of course, were very many oftlie
bright eyed datigliters of beticvoleiice, who
bought back, for divine charity, the produce
of their own labor. The party returned
home. shortly after 7 o’clock, highly dcligh
ted with their excursion.
AN AFFECTIVG Siciir.-—There are some
odd souls in this world, who appear to de-
iive their very existence froin a lininoroti.<
saying or a goodjoke; and who nndouhtly.
would swell up and die,” if they were not
perniitted to indulge their waggisn propen-
sity. Bcn Chatterbox, as he is called,
is one of these laughter loving, joke crack-
ing mortals. We will quote a specimen :
Somewhere cast ofthc Suquehanna, in this
country there is a barren, lonely spot, wlicrc
no one would suspect that any thing btit sncli
quadrupeds as can live on the ‘vapors of ti
dungeon,’ would ever think of seeking an
cxistcticc. Bcn’s occupation often leads
him through this abode ofstcrility; and he,
as often, has some wuggish rciinirk concer-
ning it.—After passing it one day, Ben
went home, from some cause iinknown,\vitli
a countenance as grave as that of ti Judge,
and u ‘bridle on his tongue.’ This being.
‘sotiictliitig new under the sun,’ led to the
-following dialogue between liiui and an old
lady belonging to the house—
‘Wliat’s the matter of you, Ben ! Are
you sick or innd, that makes you so solemn
all at once !’
‘O, ifyou had seen what 1 did this inor-
ning, I geuss you’d look solcinti too I’
‘What have you seen, Ben I’
‘A licart-rcnditig sight, I assure you.’
‘\Vcll, what was it ?—I know it must be
somctliing rcinarkablc, or it would not affect
you so —out with it, do.’
‘ You know that place I've told you about
that nothing can live on I’
‘Yes.’ _
‘Well, as I was coming by there to day,

YOUNG IVIENS VVI-IIG .lIlEE'I‘lNG AT
IIIA-SONIC IIALL.
Otic of the most numerous and i'cspect:i-
blc meetings of the \Vhig Young Men ever
held in our city, was convened last evening,
pursuant to public notice, in Mzisoiiic Ilall.
At an early hour the avenues to the Hall,
and the Hall itself, were filled with the tliou-
sands who were pressing forward to imitc
atid to participate in this great festival of
principle ; this mighty convocation of put-
riots, asscmbicd in support of constitution-
ul liberty and rights. Among the vast; us-
sembled throng were to be seen hundrcils of
those who even at the last election were
cl-amorous for the C/iicf, and who appeared
then to have trailed their colors to the must
of his infallibility; but who now, convinced
by facts and aigtiiiieiitstliey were uiialile to
resist, came forward boldly to enroll tl-icni-
selves under the banner of the Constitution,
and to renounce a party they had hitlierto
una|tct'abl_v sustained. Among that nutri-
ber we discovered the veteran Gen. Root,
the great Ptitriarcli of Democracy, of Del-
aware County, the IIoti. Mr. Van Duzor, a
member of the Legislature, of Orange coun-
t_v ; Ogden Hofl‘-'i‘nan, Esq., the eloquent
District Attorney of our city ; John B.
Scholcs, Esq., a highly respectable gentle-
man of the bar, all of whom addrcssctl the
assemblage, besides more than one hunilretl
other influential intlividunls, who had hith-
crto fought with Ilcrculcan energy under
the Jackson batiiier. Aiiioiig the tiunicrous
members of this large tissetnblugc were lrerc
and there «'1 head wliitcned by the frosts of
age, whose sage counsel were hzippliy in-
voked and employed, in favor of thc princi-
ples that had animated them in the times
that tried meu’s souls. They came to eti-
couragc their sons to rush to the rescue of
the republic.
The meeting was organizctl by the tip-
pointmcnt of Isaac S. llone, as Prcsidctit,
Moses H. Grinnell, A. Sidney Donne,
Hatnilton Fish, and Natliatt A. Green, as
Vice l’residents; and Messrs. Andrew
Mount, and Dr. Jacob Hanson, as Secreta-
ries. '
The notice for the call of the meeting
was then read by the President, who made
an interesting though brief address, in be-
half of the cause, which they were called
together to support, which was followed
with loud applauses. David Graham, Jr.
Esq., then introdticcd a series of resolutions,
which he supported by an able and interes-
ting speech; and was followed by John B.
Sclioles, Esq., who ocffrcd sundry other
resolutions, which he supported also, in an
eloquent and appropriate speech, which
was loudly cheered, when the several reso-
lutions were adopted. There was their a
loud call for Gen. Erastus Root, of Delu-
ware County, who was present; and the
venerable patriot complying with the request
of the people, rose and addressed the us-
scinbly in an able and piquant speech of
‘is’
considerable‘ length, wbich‘_was recéivedl
with loud and reiterated appfuiises.
for the eloquent orator and advocate, Ogden‘
Hoffinan, Esq., the District Attorney, who,-
in obedience to the call‘; came forward, and
in a most powerful, patriotic and thrilling?
speech, held the enraptiired auditory en-‘
cliained for about three fourths ofan hour.-
He was followed by the Hon. Mr. Van ‘Du-‘
exccllent and loudly cheered. _In it be ex-‘
posed the miserable trickery of the Albany"
Regency, and conclusively proved the rot-I
tenness oftlieir pretcnsio‘iis. ,
Hon. Dudley Selden was loudly called‘
for, but he was not present.
\Villis Hall,- Esq. then rose, amidst reit-‘
tions, arltlresserl the meeting in a speech of
about twenty miiitites in length, eiificlied
with the most precious exposures of the
consistency and profligacy of the present
dominant party. He made tnztny liafd hits;
and was very loudly cheered. The resolu-'
tions were tlicti adopted;
From the many able and eloquent s'pe'é¢Iies‘,*
given on the occasion, we select Iilltlli of Mr.’
Ogden lloflinan, Esq., the District Attorn‘e_v.-
your kindness, anticipating what I am about
to say, I want words to express my gratitude.
They are soothing to me itideed, on this oc-
casion, when I am about to take a step,-
ctl my political life. A step, from which, if
private friendships or the force of long
cherished feelings could ting-lit avail, I‘
should have shrunk back. If, however, in‘
the course Itiow adopt, I wanted aught to‘
cheer me on, besides the kitidly demonstra-
tions my presence here has called forth, I-
should find it in the example ofthc vcnera-'
blc man who has just addressed _vou.-
(llcrc Mr. IIofl'mnn pointed to general
Root.) He is itlentifictl with my earliest
recollections of that 0.‘(l republican pa-t=ty--
nnd, fellow citizciis, it is a proud coiisol'atioi'r
to me to reflect, that if I out sinning against
eoiisistt.-ncy, I am sirining with hint who Itas-
been i'i-gnimletl as a patriarch ofthat party.
I have turned with him from the trammels
of lint party to the support of our Constitu-
tion tintl Laws.
Permit mc——for it does not become‘ me"
to stir up your minds to n mutiny ofrage——‘
to state calmly and deliberately the motives-
which govern me in the step I have taken.
And you will pardon me for this allusion to’
myself, for it isthe first public occasion I
have had, and it is pcrliaps the onI_v one I
shall have, to allude to the subject. I stand‘
before you nslan office holder, and slander"
has been already busy with my name. I
Il()It_I not my office front ti \Vliig majority.
It is known to you, that besides the Alder-
men, all the Judges of the Court of Com-
nion Pleas, form the zrppointiug power to
the office which I fill. OI’ tliese a majority
are Jackson men. I turn, therefore, from
those whose power might linrin me, to those
who cannot. \Vhy tlicti thus sittrated, am
Ifoiind a strangcramong you? the answer
is at li:uid—my conscience would not let
me remain with a party whose pi°inciples I
could not approve. 1 was an early sup-
portcrofAndre\v Jackson, too early per-
haps, for I supported his prctensioiis at it
time when it was as much treason to the’
party to be his friend as it. is now trcasoir
to doubt the wisdom of a single‘ measure he
has adopted. I believed that his elevation-‘
to power would shed a lustre over the land"
he had so gloriously defended. I Irailetf
with joy the late tlcmonstrations~ of respect:
which greeted him oti every side. But
when I saw that in the’ midst of those dem-'
otistrntioiis, and when the gt-‘ntittide ofthou-
santls was us it were, poured like a flood
around his course, he had determined to’
ratify his personal hostility to an institu-
tion, by a step in violation of the Constitu-
tion ;—wlicii I found that a Secretary act-
ing under it coiiscieiitious sense of duty,
was rudely thrust from office, to make rootrr
for a more pliant tool, through whose agen-
cy a removal of' the public treasury from
the hands in which the people had placed
it, was ell'ccted—-seeing all this, I pondered ;-
I could" not support liim—and so I told my
party; and when the memorial approving
of the removal of the treasury, came‘ to me‘
from those to whom I owed so much,. I told
those who prcsetitctl it, that I owed allegi-
ance to no party who might require me to
do what my conscience did not approve,
and I believed the removal unwise, unneces-
sziry and iticxpcdieiit—l would not, and I
did not sign it. But still I hesitated. I
still believed that the. groatis of it people
siifft-i'iiig under the cliccts of his policy
would reach the palace,——that Aiidrew'
Jackson would discard from his confidence
those who had used him for their selfislv
purposes. Do not mistake me. Ifelt no’
syinputliy forthe Batik, I owned none of!‘
its stock, and I wanted and expected no-
thing frotn it. I was indeed opposed to all
moot-yed monopolies; but I found that the
avowed enemies of the United States Bank
were surronntling this State with a cordon
of Banks and the Batik Commissioners-
wero elected for party purposes and with a
view to political entls,—I inclined to dis-
trusttlie inotivcs of their avowed hostiIity.—«
I was opposed to banks, but not to the good‘
they effected. So for as they were necessary"
to nerve the mm of enterprise, and contrib-
me to swell the flowing canvass ofconimerce
—-so far I was willing to support them, but
no farther.
But my fecIiu_v_v_s were entirely indepen-
dant of the United States Bank. I looked‘
only to the violated laws of the country, and‘-
to the brancli of that faith which had been‘
pliglited to the bank at its creation. I-
thought the Batik entitled to the same jus-
tice as the humblest individual prosecutecf
in otir criminal courts--that it should have a.
fair trial—that tlicjnry should be an impar
0‘
l
t.ial one and not packed. VI’hcu fairly con-
