COTTON MARKETS. O ir latest advices from are to tlie •4th nit. at which period the Liverpool Colton market was in a healthy condition, and hut for the political situation ufUireat-'Btituin, wo should have great confidence that the prices they cur rent, would at least lie maintained. Advices from Nuvv-Voik of£lstinst. state, that the extreme cold weather had closed all the rivers, and that large quantities of Colton,, bought some time ago, for manufacturing es tabli.-hments in tiro interior, had been prevented from reaching their destination. Tho stock of old Cotton was reduced to about If','lff) bales.— limitations of new Uplands, 8 a JU cents—the latter pi ice for choice only.

The subject of recliiirte;ing this mammotn Bank is becoming one of,deep and alarming in te est; and since tlio Bank itself is evidently sparing no means of obtaining a renewal of its charter, it becomes those who arc sensible of the danger of such a result, to look well to all its movements and scrutinize them closely, ll any further argument hud been wanting in proof ol such danger, is it not to bo found in the late Message of the President, and his altered lone on the subject. Is Iris former uncompromising and unqualified opposition toil so. gotten I and if its influence can reach even him, the bold, intrepid, and fearless boro of Orleans and the Maysvdie Rond Bill, whom shall it then not reach, nnd who shall stay Us grasping power? Did not Gen. Jackson, dlscatd his eld cabinet, and appoint Ins present one, on the ground that it was not, but should be, n that is, that the members ofit should think ami act to gether, and in concord will, him; and is not one of them in direct and declared opposition to him on this subject—the Secretary of the Treasury— recommending tlio renewal of the Charter I and has it not been repeatedly said, that the Presi dent countenances lids as a matter of conces sion and conciliation lo the Bank and its influ ence ? And what was its effect I . Why the publication of tin Message, and the Report of die Secretary, caused the slock of the Bank to rise instantly, ticn per cent. Docs not lids show, wl. it had been stated before such ; üblication, that the administration had ceased its opposition to the Bank, and that Mr. Mc.Eano was the me dium of conciliation between it and die Presi dent ? What if Gen. Jackson has not, as has been charged, consented through Mr. Mcl.ano, Iu sign a hill to re-charter the Bunk, his Mes sage is as plain an intimation as need be,that he' will do this; and the died ofit upon the public proves that it w.ps so understood.—lt is useless to say that (he Secretary oftlie Tionsury speaks for himself only, independently oftlie Piosidont, and that the President is not responsible for his opinions, or to he understood as sanctioning or adopting litem. Hu is the Agent of the P.esi ilonf, and a part of the Administration, for the acts of which generally, the President, as the principal, and as possessing the superintending and controlling power, is mainly responsible. And this lie has fully acknowledged hy disntis- j sing all tho-members of his cabinet for alledgtrd ; want of lun inony, and accordance will, himself, ! and one another; end, if wo rccollurt tightly, I lie was rniilioiitlvely represented to have said, j in relation lo substituting others, that ho should I expect them to he guided hy his views, and lo f act iu st.icl accordance w ith them; or something | to that effect.—lt is not to he expected that the- [ President has, or should have, the power of com- | pilling them to do ought it. violation to their j holiest souse of light, but it is proper that they ) slionid think, speak, and act with him, on alt gicul leading principles; which may bo effected hy a proper enquiry into the opinions of each, ere he appoints then.; and if lie honestly be lieves of tlio United States Bank as lie former ly expressed himself, viz,; that it is unconstitu- j Board and inexpedient, and has failed in the great j end establishing a uniform and sound currency— ; it was manifestly Ids duty, and in accordance I with sound patriotism, to appoint Secrclaiys who thought with him on that, and all other sub jects of equally important and vital interest—or at least to require of them, ns conditioned lo their acceptance, that, without yielding their own I opinions or aiding his, they shot,ld avoid unj udicial collision will, him on such subjects, ten ding to counteract the efforts ho might make to promote what ho honestly believed the tine interest and welfare of his country. Not that Ids opinions are infallible, however honest; for honesty is not infallibility, nor a surety against error; hut, to long as he believes them tight, wliiul. lie must do it honest, he is hound lo act upon them, however erroneous, till convinced tr. the contrary. For our own pa t, tlio’ we think i not a whit lire less of a man for honestly diller ing f.om us, on any subject, and arc always wil ling to admit that wo may be wrong, and lie right, and to he fairly convinced that it is so; yet, were any public interest entrust, d to our charge, wo .should consider it a wanton disregard of fidelity to that trust, to place in any subordinate official station, a man who fell it Ids duty to con diet will, ns, and oppose what we conceived necessary lo .he public good: and equally so, wore any other ; orson similarly situated, to countenance a like official opposition on our ; art. If, then, Gen. Jackson still believes ofll.o U. S, Bank what lie forme.ly expressed—and this he .1. e-lares ho does do—how could ho give Mr. Me I •ano an office of Ids country, to oppose what he believesa grCat and vital interest c-fliial coun ty—or an opportunity of wielding the official power and iollnei.ee of that country, against that country’s welfare?—Tl.at he saw ilia Repor tof Mr. Mcl.ane before it was submitted lo Con cress, and had the power, as it doubtless \vt;s Ids duty, to prevent its advocacy of the Bank from going before that body, arc! the people, will not, we presume, he doubled ; and he must (hcretlue he considered equally accountable for that advocacy, as if it had been exercised in his own Message I If he disapproved ofit, or dis sented from its sentiments, why did he not say ! so, in Ids Message, and give his reasons for per-1 milling tt to Ll submitted, when, in reference j to the Report generally, and that of the Seerc- 1 tary ol the Navy and P. M. General, ho observed, j they “suggest improvements which arc worthy ] of, and to Which I invito, the serious attention of Congress!” Or, if lie lias at all changed Ids opinions on the subject—it was duo to the Bank, nnd to the country, that lie should have openly declared the change,and Ids reasons for it. But he declares that he still “entertains the opinions heretofore expressed—that the Bank is uncoil sliuniuiial and inexpedient, and has failed in the groat end of establishing a uniform- and sound I currency j which are indirect contravention olj those of Sir. McLains, and given with a full j knowledge olThem, doubtless, and tho data on i which they were founded—and wo must there- | fore believe that ho has not changed his opinions, n, 'd that he does not agree with air. Mcl.aiie. ! How then shall wc account for his strange con duct f How, but by- supposing that he {tax found out the immense, power of tho Bank over elec tion*, tlnoughout the confederacy, and conse quently of defeating ids re-election—and that he has considered it absolutely necessary lo bis 1 /c-election to conciliate the Bank, hy permutin' J wp vcm ■ ■■ liis Secretary of t!ie Treasury to advocate i.' J while at the same tunc ho maintains the a. , ear- K anee of individual consistency, by opposing it | n j his own Message, “as at present organized t'‘ Now, if he still believes it unconstitutional, “as 1 at present organized,” and because Congio s Itas no authority to incorporate any Rank what ever (which power was expressly denial Ly iha framers of the Constitution, in Contention; J fin that is the only ground of its uncpustilntion iliiy; we should like to know how any modifications of its present organization, can, in his opinion, possibly render it constitutional? Tile fact is, whether the Piosident Ins or has not been influenced in this matter by the pav er of tlie Bank to defeat his re-election, it assn edly has that power, and it would he an unirtst. reflection upon his intelligence, to suppose tint with the opinions he lias expressed, he is ur , i ware of it —lt is painful to us to scrutinize thus, closely, the conduct of a man whoso re-cb-ctioii \vc are in favor of; bnt with us, men as nothing, when they come in collision with great princi ples, which tiro everything to the liberty and welfare of our country I And wo say to llio people—with whom alone, \va have, or will have, any material partizair interest or feelings— beware! look to it! for the power of the Unri-d' toons Mammon is uponyou, twining iu so pout folds around your liberties, in every Section of your country, and if yon arise not in your mi-dp and crush it while you may, llio day is not f/- distant, when those liberties will he annihilated, or held only by its permission—when you may not elect a President, or any other leading ollluoc or Representative in your country, who shall dare to oppose its interest or w ill! Wo conclude, by quoting foin the late letter of Mr. Benton, to the citizens of Missouri, in reply to various queries propounded to him by his constituents, the following extract, together with theo; inions of Mr. Jeiterson. quoted by him; and by letna.king, also, that we shall over honor and esteem him for the individual sacrifice ho is willing to make to his conscience and the liberty and welfare of his country : “As to rooming fie Bank charter, with inodifleatimvrt 1 have to .‘ay, llmi I ciinsi.li-r all the [irnposeil mo.’iiirn- Itons as n lh(.ig. i'liu new limit,-ui.-a-i a.ul re.-tnr.ioes con hi lie es no more voice than the old one ; mnl whi-t they hove Ixvn wn.Hi, is -iniidontly proved hj T, e id-iory ol Vie two and three lest years* operations olhne pr-'-io f bunk.
