(reduced to 7 : while in tiie House the Wide
m ijority of 55 (out of 100 members) was
changed to an Opposition majority of 11. Ail
i that saved the Senate was the fact that one
naif the members held over, —being elected
b>r two years. Harrison’s majority in the
State last Novo m’oer, was 10,003.
In Kentucky, likewise, the election was
confined to the choice oi Senators and Repre
sentatives. This State gave Ilarrisot:, last
November, a majority of 25,873. Os course,
euch a majority was not likely to be neutral

carried both Houses by large majorities.

be relied on as strictly correct.
At about ten minutes before 3 A. M. the
.sentry on the forecastle of the Toronto saw a
light approaching the vessel, apparently two
or three hundred yards ahead, ilo hailed it
twice, but received no answer; he was in the
act of culling the alien’ion of the sergeant of
the watch, when it exploded with a tremen
dous noise, shaking the ship to her centre—
as it afterward appeared, breaking the win
dows in several houses on shore. As the
smoke cleared away a boat was seen pulling
with great swiftness toward Grand isiaud.—

The next morning a cask was seen sticking
in ike mud close to the bank near the spot
where ihe explosion took place. On exami
nation it was found to be full of powder, inge
niously fined into a kind of platform to make
it float steadily, and with a fuze half burnt,
fixed to the bung hole; to the cask were at
tached several fathoms of whole line, by
wli.ch t must evidently have been connected
with-the one that exploded—and the use of
which was no doubt to take acorss the bow of
the vessel so as to bring a cask on either side
or her as they doated down with the stream.

the beach close by ; the men were armed, and
one of them he knew* to be from Bufluio, and

IS PAPER MONEY CHEAPER THAN
SPECIE !
The events of tiie last thirty years have
created a suspicion in most men’s minds, that
there is something not exactly right in our
banking system, indeed, the very head of
the system, tiie President of the tfnited States
Bank, seems at times half a skeptic as to its
utility. He acknowledges that it is attended
with great danger; but then he sdvs, “the
substitution of credit for coin, enibles the na
ton to make .in exchanges with ies-coi ~ and
of course saves the expense of that con.”
Mr. Gallatin, who is now President of the
-National Bank at New York, goes still farther.
‘The substitution oi a paper currency for the
precious metals, does not,” lie says, -‘appear
to be attended with any other substantial ad
vantage than cheapness.”
Bank notes, it must be confessed, come
very cheap to those who issue them. Butto
those who receive them, bank notes come as
dear as gold and silver. The farmer must
give as much of the produce of his labor ior
a paper dollar as for a silver dollar.
it is a Hedged by some, that “bank notes in
crease the aggregate capital of the communi
ty, since they cause silver, which produces no
thing, to be exchanged abroad for commodi
ties useful .in the arts, or for household con
sumption.”
But it is not true that silver money produ
ces nothing. It is as productive as any other
tabor saving machine. Its uses in commerce
are as great as those of the steam engine in
manufactures.
Neither is it true that the aggregate capi
tai ot the country is increased, when silver
coin is displaced by bank notes. A mere ex
change is made of one kind of capital for ano
ther. The precious metals are exported, and
faces, wines, silks, satins, and ostrich feathers
are received in return. A nation that carries
its consumption of foreign luxuries so far as
to leave itself without a suitable medium for
domestic exchanges, may be compared to a me
chanic who barters the tools of his liade for the
enjoyments of the alehouse. Money is the
tool of all trades.
Bat on tiie supposition mast favorable to the
friends of the banking system, what, sum is
gained by the nation by the substitution of pa
per for specie I
According to the calculation of Mr. Galla
tin, the currency of the country consisted, on
•he Ist of January, 1830, of about ten millions
of dollars in specie, in the fiands of the people,
of fifty-four millions of bank notes, and fifty
five millions of bank credits ; making a total
of ene hundred and nine millions of bank me
dium, for the support of which the banks keep
twenty-two millions of specie dead in their
van ts.
Now, supposing lank medium to fall into
disuse, these twenty-two millions of specie
would be set free, and eighty seven millions
more would be required to bring up our cur
rency to its present amount. What is this,
when compared with the whole capital of tiie
country, which is estimated by Mr. Lee, of
Boston, at ten thousand millions of dollars,
and by two other able economists, at twelve
thousand millions. What is it, even when
compared with the aggregate of incomes,
which according to Mr. Niles and Mr. Edward
Everett, is one thousand millions a year?
it should be recollected, that on the suppo
sition of something being gained by the nation
by the use of paper money, the saving is once
for all, and the annual gain is no more than
the interest on the amount of medium. Now,
the interest on eighty-seven millions, at six
percent, divided among the individuals who
constitute our nation, is about forty cents a
piece!
Is it wise, for so trifling a gain, to derange
all our moneyed operations ?
But if the inquiry be pushed further, it will
i;e found that nothing is gained by the nation,
(we do not say that nothing is gained by certain
persons,) even on the supposition ..mstfavora
hie to the brinks.
For a specie medium, hut one mint would
be necessary. To main.am ‘a paper medium,
vve have from three to four hundred paper
mints. The expenses ot these limits press
heavily on the people. The expenses of the
Bank ot the United States and its offices, are
about five hundred thousand dollars a year.
According to Adam Smith, three millions
of people, m the countries now forming the
United States, were governed, and well gov
erned, before the revolution, at an expanse not
exceeding three hundred ami fifty thousand
dollars a year,
The Honrs of the American peop’e tor a
few weeks wou and purchase them a sufficiency
of metalic medium, which would not require
renewal lor a hundred years. To support our
paper medium, we a> - e frequently obliged to
purchase specie abroad, at a disadvantage. As
there is no profit on paper money, except by
keeping down the amount of specie in the
vauus of the banks, the precious metals are
frequently exported and sold at a loss.
9He cheapness or dearness of an instru
ment, is to be estimated by ffie annual expense
to winch it puts uS, in addition to its original
cost, and by the mariner in which it serves the
uses intended. Bank medium is a machine
which requires continual watching, which is
always getting out of order, which requires
frequent and expensive repair?, and which, af
ter ail, performs its work badly.
Men have passed from one extreme to the
other. A hundred years ago, the chief feature
m the commercial policy of nations, was the
amassing of gold and silver, as a kind of wealth
par excellence. Now! he is the wisest .>■ m■, ?-
man, who is most successful in drivi. g die
precious metals from a country.
In their attempts “to economize speri..” as
they call their absurd and nefarious policy, they
seem u; be forgetful of economy in every thing
else. Correct measures of value, it must be
confessed, cost something. 80, likewise, do
correct measures of weight arid o! capacity.
A metalic medium cannot be obtained Without
paying for it: but whatever it may cost, it is
weii worth i’seost. Our roads and our canals,
which are, like money, instruments for facili
tating exchanges, cost immense sums. So,
also, do cur ships, and our manufacturing ma
chinery.
Among labor-saving machines, gold and
silver coin are entitled to the first place. In
no way can a nation invest a portion of its capi
tal more profitably, than in a sound circulating
medium. It will return its original cost a
hundred fold. Without such a medium, it is
impossible for contracts to be complied with
in equity, or for productive industry to exert
aii its energies.
Private letters, received in New York, give
some account of alarming disclosures being
made in respect to the Union Bank of New
Orleans. A correspondent of the Commer
cial savs that “in addition to the over drafts
previously known, it appears that about
§800,009 more have been discovered ; —one
firm alone, Ogden and Southgate, having ab
stracted 8100,900 ; another individual §SO.
000 : and Mr. Woodruff, one of the directors,
some $15,090. Everything, however, con.
nected with banking in tins city is k*pt so
secret that the public is left to conjecture the
amount of the various defalcat ions,” It was
in agitation, it is said, to place an injunction
ou the bank.—Phil. Ledger.

tiie Federal “declaration.”
V\ e place on our first paixe to-u'a v the “De
lla ration” adopted bv tiie recent Whig State
Convention, as we find it in the Evening Jour
nal of yesterday.
We commend it to an attentive perusal. Ii
is from the pen of the lion. D. D. Barnard,
representative in Cong.ess from this city, and
one of those who, according to the testimony
ol Mr. Cushing, “.set up in Congress a caucus
dictatorship,” “seeking to control the Presi
dent it) ills proper sphere of duty,” and “de
nouncing him lor refusing to surrender his
independence and his conscience to its de
crees.”
And such is the spirit of the “Declaration. 5 ’
It assures the world that Mr. Tyler was un
derstood, in reply to “,riterrogalives before
his election to the Vice Presidency, to have
expressed himself in favor of the constitution
ality and expediency of a National Bank,
notwithstanding his former opinions”—that
“while the oath and conscience of the Presi
dent are offered as excuses lor the veto, they
are forced to.regard then) as dauge;ouslyset
up against tiie authority and sanction of the
Constitution itsell ” —dial they “express their
utter disapproval of the use he had made of
tee power ot the veto”—that -‘they declare it
to he sanctioned by no principle of tt.e Con
stitution, and by no worthy precedent”—that ;
it has been used by him “to airesl and deleai
tiie just, proper, and necessary action of the’
Wing administration of the government, in
a point where the whole party, the President
included, stood pledged to the country by the
most sacred obligations”—lirat they disap
prove ami regret Ins course of conduct ‘to
wards the late Cabinet, “by winch they have
been driven from the service of the country
m the posts which t..ey filled with such dis
tinguished ability”—that lie has ‘‘compelled
the Whig party, almost as one man,” to meet
Ins course on the Bank question and the al
leged compulsory resignation of his Cabinet,
“not only with dissent, but will) open repro
bation”—that while they do not assert that he
has designed or desired to betray or desert
the Wing parly, they can yield him their
support only on the ground that .“finding his
error, he will correct it” in relation to the
Bank question—that he will “look with more
care and better judgment and conclusions
into the important subjects on which lie and
Congress differed”—and that he will appoint
Whigs to “ail the departments and places”—
that “the public money now in his hands must
be taken out”—that a National Back must
be supplied- and that he must “repair the
mischiefs which his own unwise policy may
have inflicted on the country”—in short, that
he must do and perlorm all this, and all in
deed set down in the “Declaration,” or get on
without the confidence or suppoit, but rather
the defiance and hostility, of the caucus dic
tators and their echoes and allies in this faiaie
at least. Soil more, lie is admonished not
to look beyond the “one term;” and in im
mediate juxtaposition, the Declaration “oilers
to Henry Clay of Kentucky (lie tribute of our
heart-teit gratitude and thanks tor Lis emi
nent public services, never more conspicuous
or valuable than in the Senate during the re
cent session of Congress and we devoutly
trust that he may long bo preserved to his
country.”
Sucli are tiie prominent positions of this
extraordinary document. It is in the spirit
and tone of the Congressional manifesto, em
anating from a kindred source, and uttering
the severest denunciations of the President,
in terms scarcely courtco. sand by no means
conceal ng the rancor and hostility that rankle
below the surface, It applauds the retiring
cabinet, while it lias not the candor or the
hardihood to condemn, except by impiicatior,
ihe continuance of Mr. Webster, and the
acceptance of Mr. John C. Spencer. It de
nounces liie Biesidenl for the past, and places
him on his good behavior for the future, ft
is, indeed, tnroughoul, grossly insulting to the
President, and in a spirit alike hostile and dic
tatorial.
We shall see how it will be received at the
White Mouse. How it will be understood
and appreciated by the American people, tire
results in Maine,lndiana,and Maryland, show
already; and the results in Pennsylvania and
New York will show with equal emphasis.
Ohio Election Frauds. —The Cincinnati
Enquirer, speaking of a late Democratic meet
ing m that city, says :
“Mr. Wilkins, of Butler county, was the
principal speaker—and his developetnents of
the system of pipe laying and fraud, by which
the Democracy of this country were defeated,
were listened to with great attention. Os the
“colonizing” in this county, from the southern
portion of Warren, Mr. \V. said he spoke up
on the information of others, in which the most
implicit confidence might be placed. Os the
same system in Butler, carried into effect to
defeat Mr. Weller, he spoke from his own
personal knowledge. Mr. Wilkins gave this
fraud upon the elective franchise, and the de
ceptions practised by the federal leaders upon
the people, in relation to measures of great
national policy, as his reasons for deserting
the Federalists, and joining in the support of
Democracy. They form the justification of
hundreds, who are adopting the same course.
Mr. Wilkins was warmly applauded during
the course, and at the close of his remarks.”
On this the Ohio Statesman remarks :
“Mr. Wiikins was an active committee
man of Butler county, is a lawyer of leading
talents, and ins statements worthy of confi
dence.
“A Whig who took an active part in these
elections, said in this city, that lie knew an
arrangement to make a difference of seven
hundred votes in Hamilton county ; and that
Dr. Duncan was as fairly elected to Congress
as ever any one could be. The fact is, we
have never doubted that the Democrats of Ohio
were defrauded out of the election last fall, by
the most monstrous system of fraud and vif
jainy ever concocted by the most abandoned
race ot men on eartn.
“A Whig of this city says he knows of pipe
laying from this county into Pickaway last
year,"and hints pretty strongly that he could
tell of worse acts than tha’. Is it any wonder,
then, that thousands of Whigs, on refection,
are deserting such a party and uniting with
us, to save our institutions from ruin and dis
grace 1”
A Cute and Curious Affair. —James E
Cole, who was sentenced to the State Prison
for fifteen years, about a year since, for high
way robbery hi this city, contrived a:i ingeni
ous mode of escape, which, however, lacked
the most material part, success. It was after
this wise: Cole had been employed in the
shop making boxes, in which materials are
sent from the-prison to this city ; he made one
and put buttons on the lid, so as to fasten it
inside, and then drove nails around the edge,
breaking them off: thus giving it the appear
ance of being nailed down: then directed it
himself to Mr. John Larne, corner of Madison
and Pike streets in this city. Having thus
far arranged, he employed a negro convict to
place if, after he had fastened himself in, on
board the sloop Fanny, to be brought to this
o.itv. The box was placed on the wharf, head
-f.ee 7, and remained there for about two hours,
when it was put in the cabin ot the sloop.
The sloop started during the gale yester
day, but was obliged to put back, and did not
arrive until this morning. In t.ue meantime
Mr. Lent, one of the keepers, missed Cole,
and came down to the city to look for him;
not hearing of him here and learning that the
Fanny had not arrived, he mistrus’ed that
Cole was on board, he therefore boarded her
this morning on her arrival, and going into the
cabin saw the box and opened it where he
found Cole nearly exhausted, from his close
confinement and'not having eaten anything
since yesterday. Cole was immediately ta
ken to the Tombs and will be returned to his
old quarters at 3 o'clock this afternoon.—N.

THE VETO POWER.
The Whigs have a great deal to say against
the veto power—they call it the one man pow
er—it is despotic—tyrannical, &c. &c.
And because Mr. Tyler has exercised his
constitutional rights, they coine out and call
him traitor! —Benedict Arnold!—and to evade
the veto power they propose to violate the
Constitution. To all those Whigs who were
such strong advocates for the election of Old
Up last fall and who are now as strongly op
posed to the exercise of tiie veto power bv
Mr. Tyler, we would recommend to their
lavorabie notice the following extract, made
from the Inaugural Address of General Harri
san—
“The negative upon the acts of the Legis
lature by the executive authority, appears to
be highly expedient, and if used only with
the forbearance and in the spirit for which it
was intended by its authors, it may be pro
ductive of great good and be found one of
THE BEST SAFEGUARDS TO THE UNION. I Con
sider tiie veto power given by tiie Constitu
tion to the Executive of the. United. States,
solely as a conservative power, to be used.
1- To protect the Constitution from violation,
2- The peopie from the effect of hastv le
gislation where their will has been probably
disregarded or not understood ; and 3d!y. To
prevent the effects of combinations violative
of the rights of minorities.—
