BANK REPORT.
The report, and accompanying docu
ments, of the committee appointed to in
vestigate the affairs of the Nationat Bank,
was this day laid on the tables of the house
of representatives, in a printed form. We
hope that the appearantfe of this highly
important document'may be the signal for
putting a period to the present protracted
and unprofitable debate on ithe Seminole
question, and that, as early as possible, the
bank subject may be taken up.—Washing-
ton City Gazette 8th inst.
We hear thit Mr. Speaker Clay receiv
ed, by yesterday’s mail, a memorial from
Wm. Jones, esq. of Philadelphia, to be
presented to the house of representatives,
in justification of his conduct whilst presi

This is probably the document that news
paper paragraphs mention as having been
got up as a 1 on liter statement to the re

JOSEPH LANCASTER.
Our readers have noticed in the proceed
ings of the house of representatives some
days ago, that Mr. Lancaster was, by a
vote of that house, permitted to a seat
within the bar of the hall—a privilege ap
pertaining only lo those who are or have
been members of congress, or hy a special
vote. The letter from that Philanthropist,
addressed to the speaker of tfe house of
representatives, was react on Friday. The
following is a copy—
Waohington City. Ut Mo. 97th. 1819.
To Henry Clay, Speaker of the house of repre
sent ati-ea in congress
Honored Friend—I have been favored
ith the vote of the louse, on the motion
>f Burwell Bassett,of Virginia, respecting
mysell; an honor wholly unexpected, and
the house of representatives had not

ever, I am determined that by the mercy

It was put into my hands just as I was

From the N. F A ivocate 1 el iiut.
GENERAL JACKSON.
The Aurora, published a letter, said to
have been received from Tennessee, stat
ing, that, the secretary tif war and of the
treasury have both enlisted their efforts
against the general. We know not how
for this info.nation iu*y be relied upon.
As citizens, these gentlemen have * right
to the free expression of their opinion, al
though tbe influence of their office trill nilt
considered as a proper weapon of an-
sault. However, such ii> the tree charac- ^
ter uf our country in speechand the press, ■
that any indirect influence must fail ••
this case, and tbe greater the opposition
made to general Jackson by men in pow
er, the greater will bo bis ultimate tri--
urnph. Speaking ot the efforts made b/”-
Mr. Cobb against him, the letter has tbft ’
following observations:
“If Mr. Cobb had been with getu Jack-
son on that campaign, wading through
swamps up to bis chin, swiming rivers
swollen beyond their banks, and subsist-
on a scanty allowance -of parch com
lor four months,instead of being comfort*-
ny seated in congresa-hall, Voting forth*
i crease ol Ins per diem coapenaition to
eight or ten dollars and making ridiculous- .
speeches on the occasion, I doubt not but
be would have thought very differently up
on this subject-
We cannot but concur in the justice of
the comparison—and think, that before
gentlemen who are comfortably and se
curely seated in congress, think proper to
pats a vote of censure on the general, they
will endeavour to realise some of the hard
ship, which he has undergone in the ser
vice of his country, on that dangerous and
inhospitable frontier.
We conclude with the following extract,
which we deem o! too much importance,and
too just to be withheld:—
“General Jackson, however, has never
attempted to wear the laurels of other
men, nor to puff himself into a reputation
which had no base; he need* not to borrow
from the renoVn ot other men; and ia per
fectly content with the consciousness of
having faithfully and effectually discharg
ed the trust which was reposed in him t»
his country; and feels that he is too firmly
established in the confidence and affection*
of the American people, ever to be injur*
ed by those gentry, whose parades in the
metropolis and under the sunshine of offi
cial favor, procure them rank by mean*
that generous and conscious minds would
disdain to truckle to. He has lately
received, not less, perhaps, than five
hundred letter* written by persons living
in every section of the U. States from tbe
statesman, down to the yeomanry of tbe
country, many of whom be has never seen
or heard of before, and never expects to
see, with the expression of their entire ap
plause of his decisive and effectual conduct
of the 3-ininole campaign. While he re
tains the confidence and affection of the
good and virtuous of his countrymen, he
has nothing to appreheod from the viciouc
and designing: and ht may say of his ene
mies, and turn their own quotations, too
upon themselves, in the words of old king
Lear.
