After this Bank had discharged the duties assigned tA it for the term vf its charter, the local banks were tried,Ifair- ly tried, and proved wholly insufficient to discharge the dutios which the Vni ted States Bauk had performedand the Government was compelled to ask for the charter of another national Bank. This call was responded to, favorably, by almost the entire democracy of the nation, and by many who bad voted against tho old Bank. The act was ap proved- of by that great apostle of con stitutional liberty, Mr. Madison, and subsequently received the approval of the highest judicial tribunal in the conn- try. deciding the question of ConstUu< tionality—that great Jurist, Chief Jus tice Marshall, on the bench.

In one of these vanishing rests the object is seiz ed and transferred to tho plate. The necessity of great skill and practice is apparent here; for the camera must be closed the instant the object is caught qr there will be a blur—such as that which accompanies fast-moving objects.

A personal friend of the President, shocked, as every body must be, at ani atrocious publication in tbo Globe news paper, respecting tbe death-bed of the lamented Harrison, has condescended to notice and reprobate it iri an annexed article. We should have thought, until we saw the Globe of Thursday eveniag. that party ferocity would have releuted on approaching a scene hallowed by the regrets of a whole nation; aud would not nave dared so revolting an outrage on truth ond decency. SHOCKING DEPRAVITY OF A.PRESS. In the leading editorial article in the Globe of the 15th inst. amoug other gross and wicked untruths, is thefollow- ing shocking falsification of the “ death bed scene” of Gen. Harrison: ** The scene of his deatb-bed, howev er, showed, in the most affecting man ner, tbe state of his feelings in regard to the matter that had engrossed them from tbe moment he had entered office.— From persons who nursed and watched by him, it is known that whenever his mind began to wander, he gave utter ance to tbe secret thoughts that oppress ed him; and he continuallv recurred to tbe distressing scenes ho bad recently passed through. Sometimes he would say “ my dear madam,. I did not direct that yottr hatband should be turned out. I did not know it. 1 tried to prevent it.” On other occasions be would say in bro ken sentences : “ It is wrong. 1 won't consent—’tis unjust.” Again : “ These applications will never cease T* From different and unquestionable sources, we are informed that the malady of liis heart, which broke out into expression in bis partial delirium,or when his mind was abstracted in a sort of slumber, half awakened by his anguish, constantly manifesting itself by uttering some snatches of sentences like those we have quoted.’* Now, however much party spirit may bo indulged in the official abuse of Gen. Harrison that was published againsthim living there can be no exercise of, nor paliation for, such gross inventions as these after he is dead. What is here said is not only not true, but not even approximating a truth ; and all these sayings imputed to Gen. Harrison are the malicious inventions of tho writor for the Globe. The Globe is again guilty of a gross untruth in saying that as to removals from office, General Harrison’s Cabinet differed in opinion from the President by a vote of four for removals, and two against, and that tiiis majority voted down, the President. This is all sheer inventing, for was not only impossible to remove executive officers without the President’s consent, but Gen. Harrison presided over and directed every Cabi net meeting. The first removal made which settled tbe principle of action was that of the Collector of New York, which President Harrison concurred with every member of Ills Cabinet. The utmost uhion and harmony exis ted between Gen. Harrison and nis Ca binet, notwithstanding all the Globe in sinuates to the contrary. The express^ cd to bis friends repeatedly his gratifi cation that he had boon able to rally a- round him so able and united a body of conitttuioosl adyisqra. ' The attempt of the Globe to extol Gen. Harrison dead, after itq^ innumera ble personal attacks made'upon him as a citizen, as a citizen, as a soldier, as a statesman, will pass for-what itis worth;, but tlie assertion there that,lie intended to keep his friends proscribed by keep ing in office the men who for twelve years had monopolized aU tbe honors arid emoluments of the country, who were to iutve nothing, while his enemies had every thing, or that he .intended to sanction, by a continuance in office; tbe conduct of the men who had prostituted the power and purid of their places to keep their monopoly up, is all pore , fic tion, which he himself pronounced so in the m^ny removals be himself nude and was making up to the. hour 6f his fidential assurance from • Mr. Fox, that our government was disposed to act / with just magnanimity,;-and an anxious desire, fot the preservation of peace. - 'here was on anarebial movement at jilles, in France, on the 25th of * which ivas.at once suppressed military aud police. .21 were 1, aU young men, and only < Tliree hundred specie have been accumulated,and lock ed up in the vaults of the Receiver Gen eral st St. Lonis, at in expense of^ per cent, while it is wanted elsewhere. which be could oomihand it For sev- >. oral Sundays thereafter, ho would enter the church, unlock the pew door, step in, and turn tho key. Finally, ho came there one Sabbath, and (bund the pew door ’ riot only wide open, but locked open .by' means of a staple, chain and padlock, and the wife, two daughters and boys of Lyon in tbe pew, filling it :up completely. a» ben ordered them oat, but the mother told the children to ‘stick/ when he ejected the-two boys by force, took a seat in tbe pew, and retained it during tlie morning service. When that was oiret be. went to a neighbor and borrow ed a file with which he commenced filing the chain. While be was about it, die parties got into dispate, and finally Mrs. Lyon, laid hold of one end of tho chain and Brice the other, when the daughter of Mrs. L. came to her aid and drew die chain through the hand of Frice, hurting it so severely that he has since last tho nieofone of his fingers. For this bo brought the suit, but after a full bearing it was dismissed by putting tbe costs on the plaintiff. NOVEL CASE. Tho Boston Times of tbe 17th relates the following interesting case, tried in the Court of Common Pleas of that ci ty. Tbe circumstances which led to the suit were as follows:—•• Ezra S. Win- sor, Captain of the ship Coliseum, paid liis addresses to a young lady named Adeline P. Thompson, and engaged to marry her. In 1837, previous to going on a voyage to Antwerp, he presented her with a gold watch as a token of re membrance, and his love. He also pro mised to have his portrait painted and sont to her. While in Antwerp be. ful filled this promise by getting his portrait painted and sent to her. On his retain tbe ship was cast away and he was lost. His mother, Keziah Winsor, was ap pointed administratrix of his estate, and fri settling up the affairs claimed tbo watch and . portrait of tbe young lady whieb sb* properly refused to give up. The mother brought a suit of repleven to recover the property. The mother and sister of the young day,_ and the Union or Tory cand earned by brute force. Bullies were hired to attend the polls at various places^ and enable the Tories toprevail by driv ing off the. Franco-Cariadians. At St. Elizabeth, one -was killed, and m&ny, now sick or thieir wounds, will not’ cover. The. quarrel was worthy ofBir- mingham-and tlie Chartists They fell upon-the'Canadians with sticks taken ftom a corded wood pile, arid knoolced them'down withshUIalahsor any bludge ons they could find. Soldiers were fail ed out to quell the riots iri York, i In Beaubardnis, the Liberal candidate wa compelled by force to retire, and prom against the disgraceful proceedings \ii Vaudrieul. Those facts need no col mentary; no elucidation need boe pended ripon them. They are atop o proof thatthe English Government is, o say the leait. not too scrupulous in tl a means adopted forregulating Canada. The disorders seem riot to have.ber a confined to Canada alone. The Houfe of Assembly*,of Newfoundland recent passed an Address to the' LieuteH Governor of the Island^ requesting ft er information than bad beqn submitted to that body, in reference to riots Which hkd occurred at the last election. / His Excellency, in triply,istoted that bp had put them in possession of all the ii ation •: which he considered i arid in conclusion said, *So com I of the absolute necessity cf the amend ment of the Election Law 1 , that I avail myself of this opportunity to state, that should unhappily uo Legislative ment. be made - during this- ses secure tbe free exercise of .the Franchise and the public tranquility in future'elec- *on*,l will not undertaketoe' re^pon- tody bore testimonv that tbe watCh wu sibflity of issuing Proclamation orWnts ^ h- P r.nrain WinTw for the election ofa new House of As-1 nortrait it was contended iu scmbly, or make DiyBelf cccountablo for JtinSffwra intended for^.nd^ tho ranous consequence., the confusion fortbeyaang lsdy.
