Spain aml Portugal— lt is stated under
the Madrid head of the 10th May, that
Don Miguel had at length lost the sup
port of the Spanish Cabinet; and if the
reports circulated are to be relied on, •'the
question of overturning the Usurper has
been alrcthty discussed between the Bri
tish Ministry and our Ambassador at
London. It is said even that this ques

manner, if there had been any certainty

to revoke the charter, and to establish the
young Queen Donna Maria with a Re

laws, without any other modifications
but the obligation of calling together tile

to raise no taxes but such as should be

BanJ{ of the United States. —From the
first proposition to establish n .Vat him!
Rank, many of those most sincerely and
intelligently attached to our institutions
have dreaded tye anti-republican tenden
cies, and the danger to the freedom ol
election and the liberties ofthe people, of
a monied establishment, which, from the
capital it possessed and the facilities u
enjoyed, could control the fiscal opera-
S(t)Jl3 MUCH UFf/it ra lIIfICIJI Ufltl Ol ttMs.il
vidaals. But if the apprehension ofthese
evils enlisted in opposition to the erection
of the Oul United ."States Bank, many of
the clearest headed and firmest states
men and patriots of those days, and it,
together with strong Constitutional scru
ples. caused Washington long to pause
before ho yielded his assent to its charter,
hu.v much is not this apprehension in -
creased in relation to the present hank,
wielding a capital of thirty-five million
of dollars, with authority to issue its own
• paper to thrice that amount; en joying the
use likewise of the immense deposits of
both the government and individuals;
having branches located in every .State
in tne Union, and pushing them into every
quarter where political effect is desired
to be produced, with the vast number of
directors and officers connected with or
dependent upon it, and of creditors bound
to its car; all of whom are forced by the
resistless obligations of interest and ne
cessity to aid in its support, and urge on
Us progress. What sections of country
or individuals may it not wheedle into
its support by loans and accommodations
' — all< l what, on the other hand, may it
not punish for a refractory spirit and dra
goon into submission, by withholding
these! Its ability, and its disposition
also, to effect these purposes have been
evinced at places not 31)00 miles distant
frotn feavanitnh and Charleston.
Hie value ts every thing—of real pro
perty, ol the staple productions of the
country, ol merchandize, money and ex
change, is, during the existence of an
institution ol such boundless resources
and nncoiitrolablepower, dependent en
tirely upon the caprice of individuals who
are perfectly irresponsible to the people,
and who derive, it is believed, their otli
cial authority from foreigners, whose
sole interest in our country is to make all
out of her that they can. Let it flood as
it can, and as it has done, one section of
the country with its issues, and all com
modities become appreciated in Value:
let it “ retire” them and those commodities
immediately depreciate. Let it pursue,
as it has done, and is tempted to do, these
opposite courses in different sections of
the country, and exchange becomes tor
tured by a vacillation ruinous to indivi
duals ami the country, but profitable to
itself. All other banks, and the interests
of the States and individuals involved in
them, arc at the mercy of this Colossus.—
ft may crush all, as It has crashed many,
in detail; and engrossing the entire cir
culating medium and pecuniary resources
of-he country, it may control ihegovern
ment itself.
No wise government extracts from the
people, by taxes or imposts, more than
is sufficient for its immediate wants It
is left to the stupid and imbecile Turk
who exhausts his country hi peace and
is, therefore, unable to meet the shock ol
war, and whose most fearful foe is the
people he impoverishes, and who should
he his onty reliance, to hoard up trea
sures for future emergencies. Hy so
doing, government not only prevents ca
pital from multiplying itself by active
employment, but extinguishes capital so
long, at least, as it is withdrawn from
use. In the period of embarrassment,
therefore, every paternal government
must* anticipate its future resources by
present Joans- But control!'ig, as this
w,i ■
bank can, all other monied corporations, |
wielding, holding in fact in its grasp, all
the pecuniary resources of the country,
government can, in a period of danger,
Borrow only from, or with the consent
pf. this institution. In time past when
engaged in a struggle which demanded
all the sympathies and energies ol the
patriot, & when contending for the most
undoubted rights, we have seen incendi
aries, and moral traitors poisoning the
public mind, and, according to the tem
per ofthose on whom they would ope
rate, persuading or alarming capitalists
from lending, to the government, money,
even though it were to bo employed in
defence, not only of ail that is dear to the
citizen, but all that is precious to the
hopes of the world. So, in periods of
future difficulty, should the administrators
ofthe government J>e obnoxious to this
bank, it may refuse its loans to aid them
in the discharge of their momentous du
ties, and, overdrawing decontrolling the.
other monied institutions, it may equally
prevent them. The desire to accomplish
the views of some favorite aspirant after
the Presidency, will be sulllcient to pro
duce this result. Ol* this, we have alnin
, dmit evidence in the recent conduct ol
. this bunk, for they wbo will employ their
• operate noon public sentiment,
, lor political eiieci aim etemionaering par
’ poses, will equally employ or withhold
[ them to effect the removal of rulers whose
. sentiments are obnoxious to them.
. Nor will the means employed bo con
-1 fined to the withholding from thegpvern
. meat of the resources of the country. —
The press will be bought up or corrupt
ed—the avenues to correct information
. will be closed to the people—light will bo
, denied them—and the press, perverted
from its legitimate purpose, will be ein
> ployed only to misdirect and delude pub
, lie sentiment.
f Wo abstain from saying nt this time
. much that we could say, and which the
subject merits. The facts disclosed in
t the following paragraphs, although not
t entirely new to us—for we know of bran
ches which gratituously distribute and
solicit the acceptance of, both McDuffie's
, and Smith's reports, and have heard, from
1 undoubted authority, ofthe purchase, not
1 ofthe publication merely, but of the ini
r broken publication of Melt's, report in a
, single nnnihr of a paper, by a douceur of
1 tw o hundred and filly dollars—are of
alarming import:
From the U. S. Telegraph.
; THE BANK OF THE IT. STATES.
We invite the attention of oar readers
to the following extract from the Hart
ford times.
‘‘Wosend with our paper this week,
an extra, containing the report of Mr.
McDuffie. It is intended to prop up the
United States Rank, mid that institution
has, at its own expense, issued this extra.
We understand that the same course
1 has been adopted throughout the coim
' fry, by the mother Bank, and its brandi
es. The statement of this (act is the best
comment ary xm that institution, that could
be presented.
‘‘What institution, what individual, is
there who can be at the expense and
trouble to publish a reply, exposing the
fallacy and unravelling the sophistry
which their able advocate has : hewn in
meir uen iiec. n must ne icu to me good
sense of the people themselves to inves
tigafe this-subject, and it i; believed that
few of’tiiem wiii be deceived by the arts
and finesse of this'report. The policy
pursued by the Rank in eirculatingtlns
Report, is but one of the many that has
been adopted and will be followed up by
tins wealthy, overgrown and dangerous
institution.”
We have noticed that many papers
have circulated this report in the shape
of an Extra. We ask our readers to
look at the materials of which that report
is made up—to the power which it boasts
to possess, and to this open and active
attempt to operate on public opinion, and
then ask themselves whether it will not
require all the virtue of the American
people, to resist its corrupting influence.
Who, after this, can doubt that the whole
energies of that powerful monopoly, will
be directed to secure the election of'inem
bers of Congress pledged, if not pm chimed,
to rc-chartcr that Bank?
From the Richmond Enquirer.
“Gp.eat OiucL'x.A'nos.”
We presumed from the facts whi'-h
were before our eyes, ofthe uniform Copy
id' the Extras which were sent out with
all, or almost all of the Philadelphia
prints, and from the Extras which we also
saw, accompanying many of the other
papers over the Continent, that the ex
pense was borne by the Bank of the U.
Slates itself-—The following paragraph
from the Boston Gazette seems to leave
the fact without any question.
“It is stated that at least 100,000 copies
of Mr, McDuffie’s al ile Report on the Uni
ted .States' Bank have been printed for
distribution, gratis, at the expense of the
Rank. In every city in which there is e.
branch ofthe bank, it has been printed in
an extra sheet and widely circulated
thro’ the country. Some Editors, it is
said, have even been paid lor printin'’- if
in their papers, lathis city, the Report
has been stereotyped and Mr. Degrand
Ims the management ofthe types or forms.
Very few public documents, we believe,
. have been so extensively distributed:
and Mr. McDuffie must feel highly com
plimented by the pains taken to make
his countrymen generally, acquainted
with this powerful production of his pen"
The people must judge of this sign Ibr
themselves. They will determine how
far it is within the power of a great mo
nied Institution like the Bank ofthe Uni
ted Stales, to employ its funds in setting
the Press in motion—for the circulation of
Mr. McDuffie's Report, or any other pro
duction—and how far it is proper to exert
any such power over the press of the
country. We have reflected upon such
a sign. We foresee some of the mis
chievous consequences which such an
influence is calculated to generate. And
we think it would be "‘u custom more
honored in the breach than in the obser
vance.”

LETTER FROM MRS. ROYALL.
“I have readied this place on inv
i °, t . U , K T ll , a:ul " rstern Tour, after a most
delightful journey, |do assure you. Eve
ry where the most flattering attentions
®ihre»iftiratW
I are heaped ui>on mo. I thought I should
' not be able to make my escape from New
Orleans at all—When I arrived there I
found every heart and house open; every
tavern and carriage was at my disposal:
the theatre, the state-house and court
house were given up to me; and the
whole populace was beside itself with
joy.—l wouldn’t accept of a public dinner,
though—such, things arc gcltingtoo com
mon—Mr. Olay goes to public dinners—
that’s enough to make mo take a different
track. I hit all his eating and speechify
ing Wont do! Clay was once a friend of
mine; and 1 could have done something
for him—but he wouldn’t take my advice
—he would cleave to foolish counsellors,
and ran after strange Gods!—He suffers
enough fur it now. There’s Ch***on, too,
just another such a traitor—lie thought
himself too smart to take advice, and
went over to the enemy! Wei!, let him
go. his friends can do without him.
On my way through Tennessee I ex
pect to meet the President at the Hermi
tage. I want to caution him against oth
er traitors—he has spies in his camp he
dont dream of. Also, I want to give him
a few hints about the Indians. \ou’vo
’ seen the opposition my Indian bill has
met with? It’s long been a favorite scheme
of mine to get the Indians all off beyond
Inc Mississippi, Dm 1 never could get a
President to co-operate with me before.
You'll now see the plan carried in-o ope
ration.—Why don’t my Georgia friends
write to me?—What is the press about,
that it don't tell what I have done ami
suffered for the South, particularly Gear
gia? Ask T. who gave him the first hints
about opposition to the Gen’l govt.—. Ask
Cooper why he first came to calculate (lie
value of the union—wasn’t it in conse
quence of a letter from me? Ask Hay ne
who first stirred him up to resist the tariff,
and invented the doctrine of .’Vullijicaliun?
1 I have done more for your state than any
man or woman in it; what would have
become of Georgia but for me? (ask Ber
rien, ask Thompson.) It would have
been sold to the tin pedlars of the north,
like the Yazoo speculation—and yetyou
see how I'm abused by your gingerbread
politicians and blue shin editors! No mat
ter, I dont want their praise, nor their
thanks—l can do without them; hat it
would have been more to their honor, and
that ofthciv country, iffhoy had eulogised
instead of ridiculing, “the recent rid Mrs.
Anne lioyall!” Haven't I all along been
the champion of Southern rights and
White rights? Haven't I for this incurred
the lasting hatred of the Missionaries and
“the Christian party in politics,” and the
horn gun (lint nation! Haven't the Kay
thins and the Puritans, the Turifliles, the
Indiauitcs, and the Negroites (he and
she,) hedn ready to tear my eyes out, on
account of my friendship for the South?
and some of your tory editors join the
persecution against me. Only two edi
tors and a half, though, in Georgia, have
dared to show any open hostility—the
two smelt of onions and wooden clocks,
and the half a one of a lertle worse.
I am surprised to see so much party
spirit in your state, in this golden age.—
Strange any body should make it their
business to keep up an excitement among
the people, and all about nofhing;*l’or I II
venture to say, not one man in 20 can tell

Jackson men, all opposed to the Tariff
and in favor of State rights—that is, if J

ot July toasts, the speeches of your mem
bers ol Congress, Ac. Speaking of Con
gress, what new candidates are you a
going to run next election? I'm told you've
lots of smart men yet to be provided for.
How does my little tomtit come on—l'm
told lie’s much of a man at a speech.—
Have you seen since the adjourn

Bmlk if the United States.—We recommend
to the attention of the reader, the able article on
this subject, which we copy from tho Savannah
Republican. It will be found highly deserving
of public attentioh.
We arc glad to perceive, that efforts arc ma
king, among the respectable, intelligent, and
patriotic of our citizens, to get up a Ticket for
the Legislature, composed of candidates select
ed from the most able, enlightened, and influcn
«;-i imilvi,lnals of the county—men wbosfc
talents and experience capacitate them to dis
criminate closely, and set forth advantageously,
its best interests, and those of the State general
ly; and’ their respectability and weigiit of charac
ter, to support them with proper dignity and in
fluence. We anxiously wish these efforts suc
cess, but arc not very sanguine of their attain
ment of it. There is no want of such men in
our county, or of willingness among them, to
devote their talents and services to tho welfare
of their country; but is it to be expected’ that
they will enter info competition with such men
as William B. Davis? or that they will consider
it any honor to wear that mantle of public favor
whichhusbccn carelessly and indifferently—yea,
in thoughtless sj>ort and ridicule! —thrown, wan
tonly, and in disregard ofthc sacred and invalu
able privilege of free suffrage, upon his shoulders?
It is painful to see men trifle thus with the bles
sings of freedom—the inestimable privileges of
liberty; without which, man is but a slave, and
* for Which, so much of the best blood of our pa
-1 triotic forefathers was freely shed in every quar
; ter of tho land. It augurs ill for tho welfare and
, perpetuity of these blessings and privileges,
when they are made the instruments of con
temptuous merriment and ridicule; and it might
not bo amiss, if men who will thoughtlessly per
vert and injure them, could be wholly deprived
of the exercise of them. No man deserves the
sacred privilege of a vote, who would use it for
any other purpose than the good of his country.
It is time for the people to reflect—to arouse
themselves to a proper sense of the natural char
■ actor, and dignity, and respectability of their

The Southern Recorder, notwithstanding its
declaration, that it could not stoop to notice the
Chronicle, contains, in its last No., a most label
ed, but lame and impotent attempt to justify the
outrageous language and assertions which we
copied from it a short time ago. It is simply the
old party rigmarole about Troup, Crowell, Gaines,
Andrews, the Treaty, and the Indians—repeated
Ibr the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety
ninth time, and artfully dressed up in tlie usual
slang-of the party, and garnished with additional
falsehoods; the obvious intention of which is to
delude tho people into their old party prejudices,
anu arouse them into a state of party excitement,
which will sufficiently blind their reason and per
vert their judgement, to suit the present elec
tioneering designs of their party leaders. The
trick, however, is too stale and barefaced to suit
the purpose. It has been played over and over
again, till the people are completely disgusted
with it; and it is now high time for the Recorder
and its coadjutors to tune their political fiddle to
some other and loss ridiculously worn out ditty.
VV e tell the Recorder, again, that the people have
begun to think, and they will think for them
selves, in spite of all its efforts to excite and de
lude them.
Our correspondent “Ames" discusses a sub
ject of interest, and ouo which should call forth
the close attention and careful scrutiny ofthc
people, at the present time. At some future
period, and under more auspicious circumstan
ces, the object ho advocates may bo poli
tic and expedient; but at the present moment, wo
doubt that it is cither, so far as the true interest
mid permanent welfare of tho State are con
cerned. It is a party measure, got up for party
purposes, and, if approved by the people, will,
like almost every other for years past.be man
aged to subserve the immediate interests of a
party, instead of the stable and permanent ones
ofthc State. This, however, is not the only evil
to be apprehended from it, as we shall endeavor
to shew, when room and leisure will permit.—
The measure looks well at a first glance, 'but is
exceedingly complicated and delusive in its na
ture; and it is easy to dress any political object,
ev cii the Taritl itsclt, in the outward garb of appa
rent patriotism and public good. The evils com
plained of undoubtedly exist, and are to bo regret
ed. But in a government like ours, whoso terri
torial affairs aru sp extensive, and have been so
long unsettled, and must continue so for some time
to come; and whose population is so generally un
equal and migratory; it is easy to perceive, that
such evils are the ncccssaiy result of circum
stances which cannot at present bo
and that it is tuerefore belter, till a more suitable
time shall arrive, “tubear the evils that wo have,
than rush on others" of far greater magnitude
and number.

the will of his constituents, ho certainly has taken
upon himself the duty of urging the one or the
other to the utmost of his power; and as it is
manifestly to the advantage of his constituents,
that their interests should have as large a majority,
or minority, as possible, ho is evidently bound
by every suggestion of interest, prudence, prin

other, on all occasions, by the exercise of his
vote—except where their will to the contrary is
plainly expressed. In the instance before us, no
such exception was manifest. The bill in quor

and known will of their constituents; and itwaj
highly proper that their interest and will should
be shown, by their votes upon the records of
Congress, to the utmost possible extent. Thi

Great ends arc not to bo attained by slight exer

the noble purpose of calling forth the latent en

our actions. The great mind, unacquainted wit!;
the extent of its own powers, expands and

of great obstacles, shrinks into weakness an
insignificance. Great events produce great men.
