Well may these hypocritical demagogues, cry j out against an association of the Hank with the Devil. They know that the corrupt extent to , which they Itave carried (he one, has rendered it | a (it victim for the vengeance of the last. They haie shown the extent to which they arc willing to go, hy their polit yin our own Stale, l.ook to 1 the Central Hank ; the facts disclosed to the last Legislature showed that it had been used hy that i party for poliic.d purposes; and (hat it had heen curried mi far, that the institution had become perfectly prostrated. When the Union party came into power in (icorgia, they louod seven millions el dollars ot Hank capital in the Sla'c; in six years of their reign they increased it to nearly double that amount; and all the while | crying out to the people as they now arc, down with Hunk rags, and huzza lor gold and silver. — And did we get a gold and silver currency ! Yes, with a vengeance. The local Hanks were r leatral lire political purposes, to sustain the Union party in power. That parly has turned against litem, because liny can no longer contribute to ( their success ; nay more, they are seeking to ; crush them, lest they might he aide to wield some influence against their old associates and confed erates. (Jen. Jackson denounced the Hanks and Merchants,os a < lan of rascals, cuiithining together to ruin the country. This he never did, how ever, until they were unable to render him lurlher j assistance. To annihilate these institutions, and to gain all tie patronage which ait untried exper iment eeuid confer upon the Executive, Mr.-Vun I Hnrca lias become the champion of the >Suh Treasury, Mis purpose is to use all the patron j ago wind, its con upturns can afford, to aid trim in lire next I’residcirtiul election; knowing that however git at may ho these corruptions, yet lire country cun never delect them, until he has been sealed nr tho saddle for llro next four years.— Anil then, when once mom in power, he can only I say, I proposed to you an untried experiment ; it Iras filled ; I yield to “ public sentiment, ’ and I will now go buck to a National Dank. Ami what is this ex| erimenl ! Mr. Van Huron , | made it one firing : a commit 100 of Iris Irien s lit j lire Senate, made it quite a different ihing. Mr. 1 i l.'alliurm restored it to the hkcr.e ol its paternity; 1 lint the .Senate cut off its unlucky moinbir, and | re lured it to lint image which the cumin tlcc had j stamped upon it.

Ami what was the scheme as the i’rci tdunl to* ! commended it; that the debts due la the Ouvcni- 1 infill iheuld be paid m gold and silver only; that | 1 there should boa Treasurer at Washington, and 1 several lnibs at d llcicnt places in the Union; that i they should leave some mere new and s.rotig , houses built, unit iron vaults made; that they i should keep live public money solely, uod give bund, and security, and taken an unlh to act ho- 1 in'-,! ly! This scheme was attacked upon the ground, that it wa designed to extend I'.xceu'ive patron , age; that it was intended to give to tho Executive a control of the public fund.-, in tho shape of a ; Treasury Hank. This was Uuitiod by 'the parti/,’ i ias a matter ol coutso, Hut they show their | i cloven foot. At tho vciy last of the session, 1 when in the hope of getting hy steal:U what could 1 ni t bo honestly procured; an vllbit was c ade u, , passu hill, repealing all the restiiclions imposed upon tho keeping of the public funds, by tho do- 1 ; posito act of 183(1, by which repeal, tho Presi dent would have the unlimited control of them, j as he did when lien. Jackson was throwing them I about from Hank to Hank; the restrictions of the | 1 teposite act, had imposed some severe checks upon the use of these funds, which the parly do j sired to gel clear of. The leader of the party at tempted to rally its members; he called upon them | to come up to its support; that this was the Sub I Treasury; and the issue was between a bank and j the Hub Treasury. Hut the party would not .rally. Mr. l.ogure a Union man Iront Carolina, denoun ced the trick, us an attempt to establish a politi cal Hank; the bill was lost. ’The Union papers | ate now attempting to create an excitement upon the subject, and to divide our ranks; they say the issue is between the Hank and thoJSub Treasury! Monsense and falsehood. Tho only question is, I whether Van Huron shall bo permitted to control the public funds through his Suit Treasurers, to gain influence and power, and re-elect himsclfto I otlice. We see its object—ought we to adopt lire Sub Treasury scheme! 1 will answer this in my I Til 10. Vim llim'ii Hanging to other Men’s Shirts. The New York Star in an appeal to its old Tammany friends, shows up one invariable tactic practised by Mr. Van Huron, through out his fortunate career, viz ; the art and facility vyith which he attached himsclfto the skirls of rising' men. Von may remember when in 181 T we ran up the Hitcktail Hag, we had but eighteen men with us in the legislature, and with on l.v three presses in tire State, vve opposed Dewitt Clinton, on the grounds that he had opposed the war, and run against James Madison for the Presidency, and in three years we carried the State. \Vhere was Mar tin Van Huron at that time’ With the De mocracy; with the War party ; with the Mad isomans No such thing. He was hanging on the skirls ot Mr. Clinton ; and here let me remind you,that hanging on the skirts of emi nent men has been the peculiar feature and secret ot Mr. \an Httren’s advancement ; he was elected to the Senate as a Clintonian : he ; moved in the Convention to have Clinton’s nomination as (inventor made unanimous; he hung closely to his skirts until he saw the cur rent setting against him, when he dropped off and lacked himself to the skirts of Tompkins, mind when Tompkins retired, he got hold of f 11lie .liii'ts if Hoi'' r i-kiimcr; Barley Keyes slid Silas Wiighti and clambered into the Sen late of the U. Stales, much to the annoyance of that disinterested politician Col. Samuel Young. In the Senalc lie held on to the skirts of Itu- j | fits King, until he got introduced to “good] society.” He then look hold of the skirts of ; Crawford, and when poor Crawford lost the | election of (’resident and John Clnlncy Adam’s snccceeded, he made two or three grabs at ; Ins skirts, hut Adams wore a spencer and \ an Ihiren missed his hold, and he settled down quietly in the Senate, looking round to see who h ■ could next ride, like the old man in the story of Sinhad the sailor. At length when it w as reduced to a certainty that An i drew Jackson would succeed he creeped by degrees near him, for the old Chief was afraid j of Van Buicn, and finally he succeeded in | g- Iting him hy the button, and in this way got into the cabinet; he then caught hold of the skirts of Ka'on, Kendall and Jtlair, and finally through their intercessions and eflorts lie I crawled into llic old General’s breeches pock et, and he made him his successor. Having lost the old Chief, and having no skirts but his own to sustain him, he fell to the ground as every body expected lie would do. I mut the Baltimore A nterictin. Oregon. We have before us the very elaborate re- I port of Mr. 1, nn, Chairman ol the select com mittee of the Senate of the United Stales, to which was refeyed a hill to authorize the President of tliivUnilcd Slates to occupy the Oregon Territory. The document is ot great length. Alter adverting to the opinion ex pressed bv KxrPresident Monroe, in his last message,"in reference to the propriety of for ming a settlement on the Oregon, the comm t tce proceed to recommend as prompt an ac tion in the premises us may be consistent with the good understanding at present existing be tween the United Slates and Great Britain, the only power whoso claims in regard to this territory are in conflict with those of this country. The letter of instructions given by Ex President Jackson to Mr. S ! ucum, who, it will he rcinembcicd, visited the country some wars since, is quoted, in which that gentle- I iima is requested to make such observations I and "iithef ,stick information with regard to ! the territory as circurn- a .’tees may permit. In canvassing the question of right, the Com mittee cites the argument of Governor j’loyd on the subject, before Congress, and the two reports of Mr. Bay lies to the tamo body. I; seems that in the treaty entered into be tween to j m 111 and tho United Slates, at, Wash ington in I'M!), the mutual boundary line be ■ tween the two powers win established on tho !

At this lime Mr. Kush was instructed I hy Mr. Adams, as Secretary cf Slate, to urge the settlement of the point, the 81.-t degree I Lining designated as the line Wcstul ihn ' Rocky Meuqtains, but with tho •undetslaml iug that, should Great Britain insisl, the TJ.h I degree should be adopted lo tho Pacific Ocean !as it already was the boundary lo the East ward. l.i answer to Mr. li’s. proposition, the ’ government rs Great BE ain as.-umed the 1 rigid to make sot lenient* on «U unoccupied co-sisi.i A.nur'ca. i.i the Convention ol IY-V, whieii followed, 11-. o relations under that of IdiS were continued, with the understand.- | inglhat either parly might abrogate on giving twelve 'months notice, ills on this Conven tion that t lie existing relations on tho subject of the North West coast, between Great Bri tain and America, aie based. Tbe Commit tee urge that, if discovery be alleged as the basis ot the British claims, the right of Spain is incontestible, which right lias been ceded to the United States. Outlie ground of discovery, Great Britain has, in the opinion of the Committee, no right; they therefore proceed to examine the title of | the United States with regard to the same foundation. So far as the United States are concerned, no actual investigation appears to have taken place, but in 1"92 t.'apt. Gray of the ship Columbia of Boston, discovered for the first time, the inoulli of a river which he named the Columbia, and after having ascer tained the latitude, bearing-of headlands, eke. returned to the United Slates and announced his discovery. Such was the discovery ol Columbia from the sea. In 1805, an explor ing expedition was fitted out by our govern ment to proceed by the way of Rocky Moun tains to the month of the Columbia river, the eminent success attending which is well known. Tills expedition is deemed of im. portance to the American title, as it was no tice to the world of our claim followed up by possession in accordance with the British doc trine. The extent of the territory so acquir ed is regulated by established principles in the law of nations, the first of which gives the rivers and their tributies to those civilized na tions who have discovered their mouths, and the second gives title half way to the settle ment ofthe nearest civilized power. Either of these principles will carry our line as far as 49°. The possession of the mouth of the Co lumbia is consider'd as of vast importance in aVommercial point of view, as it would secure an immense fur trade and would open a direct commerce with California, China, Japan, and the Sandwich and Oriental Islands generally, j The importance of this settlement Is striking ly illustrated by tho fact that the United Slates j have 51‘2,000,000 worth of propertv afloat on the I’aciHc connected w ilh the wiiale fisher- ' ics, h\ which 8,000 seamen arc supported, and that it is necessary to have some port at j which the vessels may relit after long voj ages. Tbe report proceeds to quote from the - state- ! merits made by Mr. Slacum and other intelli gent U-,.i cllcrs, showing- the great resources I ol the country and the variety of ways In which j its possession would he of value to ns, but we ; must decline proceedin'* further with matters , which, however interesting on the score ol information, are too extended in their charac- : | ter to warrant us at present in devoting to i I them as much of our columns as they would I require.

Tho Herald, by tho way, of late has been giving 1 accounts of intended insurrections and attacks on i the Militia ia various part of tho province, which has not yet amounted to any thing, ft may be tiro object ot ire Herald to excite the British au thorities o acts of violence against tho unpru -1 teete 1 Fiench i drahitants. i A gentleman from Odoltown to whose stale ment, from his well known respectability, we are induced to give credence, says, that the Canadi ans res ding about that place are in the habit of proceeding every Sunday evening through that place to Chasnplaitt in groups, under pretence ul : going to abend divine worship,, while, from cer ✓l ain inioi it a 1 imr that has men elicited from one oi the party, it a; pears rt.c real cause of their : pr a cedi:; > thither is to visit Dr. Cote, who is at Champlain, and who binds them individually by | an oath to the following effect*, that each bo pre pared without fail to rise on a certain night to be , named hercaUcr, arid that no mercy be extended ■ to either man, woman or child, who shall not be , able to give tho countersign and answer their 1 mysterious questions. All this is quite in keep iug with the tumour of private meetings being i already held in certain places in this city within I 100 last three weeks.

An American goes out to superintend the putting of it up.—] Journal• __ • Distressing Railroad Accident.—As this morning’s train of cars from Stoninglon were approaching the village of Greenwich, U. L, a deaf and dumb man chanced unfortunately to be crossing the railroad at the very moment the cars rushed by. Os course neither the bell attached to the engine, nor the shrill sound of the steam whistle, both of which had given their timely warning when the train is ■ nearing the cross roads, could not notify him of Iris danger. Walking deliberately up to j lire locomotive a blow from a projecting part ■ of the framework, felled him to the ground, and so severely injured the poor creature, by breaking Iris arm and dreadfully fracturing his j scull, that when the cars left him with his friends, it was evident he could survive but a i few moments. We learn that not the slight j est blame can he attached to tho engineer on i the road. A Whiskey buttle which was shiv- I ered to atoms in the pocket of the dying mute accounts for the stupefaction under'which his other senses—generally so acute and vigilant in persons deprived of their hearing, must have been labouring, to have allowed h'.m thus to walk into destruction itself. Host. Mer. Juiir.

['rum the N. V. Whig, Aug. 20. Money Market. ! The business on the Slock Exchange was ra j (her brisk yesterday, compared with Friday* a,,’ I lugs. O'er 1 01)0 shares of securities changed I hands' The sales were chiefly for ca.-h, as Satur- I day is settling day. United States Bank shares j opened at 133 and shirt at 133 j (or cash.

Very little was j done in insurance securities.—Trust C'ompatrie’s I shares generally improved on Friday’s prices. | In domestic exchanges a brisk and excellent ; feeling was displayed. On Alabama large sums ; were sold by the dealers at 9; per cent, discount. I Oil Mississippi the obtainable rate was Io|. [ ( ! is believed that the banks of these States will re j some before January next. A rumor was going j the rounds yesteiday that the institutions of Mis. ' sissippi were making arrangements to check on j New York steadily at 7 per cent, premium on a j few weeks. They have found it their in'cest to do so. All the banks round them have r >umcd and a continuance of the former system of depre ciated exchanges will he sure to call down upon their heads heavy suits for specie, the holder of their notes thus being certain of recovering tho full amount of his claim and 12] per cent, for damages. Now that resumption is the order of j die day, and in accordance with the popular voice, I a course of this sort would be sustained by public i opinion. The Mississippi banks must therefore, j of a necessity, hasten to'avoid such a dilemma I Again the commiseioneis of that Slate are in the market for a loan. One of the olliccrs of the j Railroad Hank ot V icksburg is now in London , trying to sell a portion of the bonds of the Stale A regulation of the currency and the payment of | the interest on those loans, already negotiated, in I coin or its equivalent, arc the necessaiy forcrun ! “ <,rs of «»y success whatever in the new ncgo . i nations. From the relative position, on the other i hand > of the hanks of Mississippi, and the United Stales Hank of Pennsylvania, a speedy resump lion of cash payment hy the former is almost in dispensable to a lull and satisfactory settlement |of balances. We look, therefore, with certainly I upon the approaching amelioration of Mississippi . I and Alabama funds. As to Louisiana, she is j ready to act whenever the pressure of hoc two 1 neighbors is removed. A Philadelphia print stales (hat the merchants , are doing a fair business. It is intimated that very lung credits are not given any longer to , Southern and Western dealers. So much the . better, say we.—This will enable us fully to com pete with Philadelphia merchant?, and will drive the dealers of Charleston, Mobile, New Orleans, Cincinnati and Louisville to import directly from England. A diffusion of commerce in this Re public is one of the elements that will prevent us , : from degenerating- into a consolidation. Long { j crcdi/n in former years brought the merchants of 1 the West and South to our doors, hut if we do I not mal eit to their interest to continue coming I »‘uy "hit take their cnv/i and go to fountain head, j Some may laugh at this opinion, but it is fully i | borne out in the West in the Queensware trade. I 1 here are houses irr Louisville and Cincinnati j which have for years imported direct their goods j Irotn England, and placed in their own pockets | the fruits ot such cash purchases.

I (purer, “Pause and cuorrc inr it” eie you I leave the shore in the bark with Mr. Van Huron. I “Sink” it will with him and all who cmbaik with , | him. The people detest the Sub-Treasury.— i their representatives have five limes repudiated ('j it though many of 'hem supported it in onposi t j lion to the will of their constituents. Hut with j , out that. Mr. Van Huron could never be re-elect' , j cd to the Presidency. He never had any personal , I popularity with the people; and what confidence r Co might have possessed at one time, ho has t utterly forfaited by his course of policy and msa i | suros y, “With all Gen.

At any future period, r we do not hesitate to express our opinion, Mr. , Van Huron would he left in a minority of 30 or g j 30,000 votes in that Stale. Gen.

There cannot he a doubt but a ma jority of the voters of bulb those Stales arc De» j 3 mocialie .Republicans, but not Loco Loco Van , s Huron Democrats. Therefore it is, Mr. Van c Huron cannot command their voles. They have lost all confidence in the man, ami condemn his . measures. There are other Stales like these two, which ate Republican, but which will never, if in our opinion, be brought to give their voles sos Mr. Von Huron—Maine, Connecticut, New y Jersey, Louisiana, Ohio, and we will even ven i- lur ° to include the ‘Old Dominion d( Virginia.) “What has Mr. Van Huron everVlnne, that e I any one should resolve to ‘sink or i- j hi" 1 : anJ by so doing, ensure the overthrow ami s | prostration of the genuine Republican patty >—. ; 1 Nothing whatever.
