A> ASHI.NVerON (’itv, Sept. ttO, 1833.
I’n theeiiiiof ot t 'e Port I. ml C* uitiiT awav
da vn east in the State of M nne.
My dear fr end; hav • n’t you been iu a
t, rrthle kind of a pin ker ever since my Imt
letter to you, to know wiiat the President was
going to say about mo and Daniel? tfyon
in: n’t. I have. I never felt so uneasy fora
ortrnght Iwrilly iu mv life. If I went to bed
I could n’t sleep and I’ve got up and walked
ihe floor as much na half the night abmis:
very since.—l’ve wished the Bulk to Guinea
more than fifty times, for I hole’s been such a
lull luih In re about ttie Bank this fortnight
past, that I could n’t get a moment’s chance
to talk with the Pn siiient about any thing
else. We’d have cabinet in efings once in a
while to see about moving tlie deposit, s, and
Air. Duane and Mr. Cass and Mr. Mo Lane
would talk up io tlie President so about it,
that he’d conclude to li t ’em alone and do
nothing about ’t, ami let Congr, ss manage it
]«si as they M aiiiiiid to. And then we’d go
lumn* and .Mr. Kendle would come in and
ilk the matter over and read some great long
letters from -Mr. Van Horen and get the Pr, si-
Hi nt .-('•confused that he would lose all pa
tience a llln-t.
But Mr. Kendle is the master feller to hang
on tiiat ever I set ; h. ’s iqual to the tooth
cho. And ne talked and palavered with the
President till he- finally liro’t hun over, and
then the President put his foot down and said
the deposites should In? moved whether or no.
Ami then the botheration was Jo see who
should move ’em. The President toid .Mr.
Duane to do it ; but he said his conscience
woulil’nt let him. Then the President told
Air. Taney to take Mr. Duane’s place, and see
if his conscience would let him. Mr. Taney
tried it and found hts conscience went easy
enough, s Mr. Duane picked up and went
Horne to Phi adelphia. We were all dreadful
sorry to lose .Mr. Duane, for he was a nice
rna ias you will see one in a thousand. It’s
a pity he had such a stiff conscience; he
might have staed here in the Treasury jest us
well as not ii it had n’t been for that.
But this storm about the Bank begins to
blow over, and the President's got in a man
lier cooled down again. Tins morning after
breakfast vve look the papers and letters jest
as tve use to, and went away into the east
room to read tin: news ami chat awhile ; amt
it really did my Ii- art goo-l to see the Presi
dent set down once more looking so good na
tured in his great arm chair smoking ms se
g:r. After I had read over the news to hid,
awhile, and go’, him in pretty good humour, I
made bold to out With it, and says I Gimral,
ilinre’s one question I want to ask you.—And
says be. you know Major, I always allow jou
•o .ask me any thing you’re a mind to, what is
it ? \\ ell says I, when we had tiiat talk here
ibout a lortuight ago, you begun to say some
thing about me ami Ua.iel; ami jest as you
got into the middle of it, .Mr. Kendle came in
*nd broke it right off short as a pipe stem. It’.-
been running in my head ever since, and I’ve
b en hall crazy to know what it was you was
going In a.y. Well, I t us at, says the
‘•in r.d, where was it I h ft off; for this, n r
iisiiu.i f isn about the Bank has kept my head
so f dl I cant seem to remember much shout it.
'V hy s jys I,you was lathing alxinl liulnti
ea’ioe ; how the lops were bent down a little.
.at Hie roots were al! running about under
ground as I ve as ever, and it wouldn’t be long
Ik fore they’d be sprouting up again all fiver
in - country, and there’ll be a tougher scrub
!-,le to keep ’em down than ever there- bad
neen yet ! and then you stud if land Danitl
ami there that plaguy Kendle 2ann
in. I’ve no patience with Inin now when I
think of it, and broke it right off. Ah, now
roiin min r, says tin- General, how twas. Well,
-ays he, M ijor Downing, it is a solemn fact,
tins conn rv is to -ee a blacker sloim of Nulli
fication In lore many y ears eomrs about, tlia.
. v rit has s, en yet; the clouds are hegiiiniy
o gather n»yv ; I’ve sin ’em rolling nv,
mi h Carolina, and hanging about Georgia
ani id. mg along into Virginity, and I see til
-iorm’s a gathering; it must coine, and i
then: isn’t somebody at the helm that know
o,y to st, i r pretty well, the old ship must g,
•town, i aim ..fraiil,says he, but what I eai
••e. p her up while I have tlie command, Inti
l in getting to lie old and must give up soon,
•iid tin n w haiA! become of her I dont know.
But what 1 yens going to sav was tliis; I’v
been thinking if you and Daniel, after I give
ep, would put vnur heads tog,-tiler amt toki
ciiarge of her till the storm lias blown over,
you might save her. And t dout know who
e lse i an.
But how do you mean, Gineral, says I ?
Why to speak plain, savs he, if nullification
shows its head, Daniel must talk and you
must tight. There’s nothing else will do tn
jolt for it that I know of. Daniel must go into
ihe President chair, and vou must take com
mand of the army, and the tilings will go
-might. At this l was a little struck up;
i id 1 looked him right in the eye,and, says I
viineral, do you mean that Daniel Webster
ought to be President after you give up ?. Cer
i.n .ly, says lie, if you want to k,-eo the conn
ry out ot tli,- j iws of nullification. But, says
1, Gmeial, D.init I is a federalist, a l(,rtford
Convention federalist, ami Is ould like to
know which is worst, the jtws of nullifica
tion, or the jaws of ted raltsin. The jiwx of
i ti,l,lh stick ! said he ; hut limy do you know.
Major Downing, that Daniel is a federalist?
Because, says l, I’ve heard him called so
tow n east more than a hundred times. And
that’s jest all you know about it, savs lie.—
Now 1 tell you how ’tis, Major Downing,
Daniel is a thorough a republican as you he,
or as t he, and has been ev< r since my Proc
lamation c-uic out against nullification. As
-oon as that Proclamation came out Daniel
tame rigid oviron to the republican grt mid
md took it ii|kei Ins shoulder and carried it
Jirotig,i thick and thin Whete t o other man
in the country could have carried it. Says
i, Gineral, is that a fact? And says he yes.
■.oh may depend upon it, ’tis every word
ruth.—Well savs I, that alters the- case a
itlle, and I’ll write to Uncle Joshua anil tin
ditor of the Portland Courier and see whai
they think of it, and if they think it’s best te
hav* Daniel so- Pr, sub nt we’ll have him in,
md i’ll take my turn afterwards: for seeing
the people are bent upon having me for Presi
dent I won! decline, though if it is though*
eat th it l should wait a lutle while, 1 wont
be particular about that. I’m willing to do
tnat which will be best for the country. So 1

EXCITEMENT A'*(i.NC THE JEWS.
The Police Olfice was yezterday crowd,
eil with Jews, who attended to heat a
colli] l.tint disposed of, which was made
against some members of tho Jewish ttr
suasion, tor creating a riot in the >,„ a .
gogue tn Flm stiw. t on last Saturdav
woi-k, whilst the congregation were en
gaged in divine worship.' \ pai . t o} t , le '
Jewish ceremonies consuls in the tta.i
iitg of a certain portion oi the Pent.,,
tench. The live books of loses are ui
vided into j-J parts, one of wlticli is lead
aloud ev.-ry Saturday by a person an
(Hunted tor the put-jx.se. Each „i the 5>
parts is divided into eight verses, and
when the first verse is about tube read,
the president of the Synngo ue calls am’
member of the congregation lie pleusu
up to the reading desk, to whom the read
ing of the v*ttse is particularly directed,
ami on whom it is supposed tlie ctrcuin
stance confers some spiiitual advautu-'e.
v\ hen the second verse is about to 'te
read, the president calls another person
to listen to it, and so oti in succession
while the first six verses are read. The
hmiar as it w technically named, of being
called up to lisfcrt to the two last vet st*
s sold by auction in the synagogue, and
('otiferred tm the individuals wh# oiler tlie
highest price. It seldom or never bap
pens that tt person buys the honor tor
himself, hut gives it to some other person.
On the day in question, one of those hon
ours had been conferred on tlie son of.Mr.
Goslin the b acking nianulaettucr, and
when flic other honor was iiisposul ot,
and the person about to he called to listen
to it, it nutted out that it was pi.rehastd
fur .Mr. Goslin himself. It aji|ears that
it is contrary Jo custom fora lather iu
receNe on# of those honours on the same
day and after his son b«s received one,
and when th« President learned that it had
been put-, based for Air. Gosliu, senior, he
ordered it to lie set up again and disposed
ol to another fx-rson. JMr, Gusliii resent
ed this, and made use ol son c obseivti
tions, which resulted in the congregation
l<'l‘cing hint out ol the house. Amongst
the (leisons complaint and of lor takii " pait
in the riot, was Air. Peter R< b,,».0,i, (a
Jew) who brought a Jewish prayer book
to the Police* (Jtfiee for the pur|iose td
proving thttt the Jews who complained ot
rim should not lac eft-dited on tlx-ir oaths,
and reie red to the following pravtr,
woich is read in the Synagogue on •‘the
day ol atoHcmen’,” in proof of liis alle
gation.
“ All vows, prayers, obligations, oaths,
anuthem s, c\( orations, fines, and asser
tions, which we have vowed, sworn, de
voted, or which we may bind onrselvts
by, from this day of atonement unto the
next ensuing day of atonement which mav
arrive in peace : U e repent of them
all; they shall be absolved; they shall
be null and void, and of none effect, with
out power oe confirmation. Our vows
are no more vows ; our obligations shall
be no longer binding; and our oaths shall
cease to be oaths-”
Every individual of tlie Jewish persua
sion who was present,indignantly sco-ted
the inlet pre ttiiou put upon the prayer by
Mr. Ro iinson, and he himself was not *
little puzzled. A person asked liin.it hr
took toe prayer intis literal sense finiselt.
All the parties concerned ( eined so n.uih
excited on the subject, that the inagistuit*
thought if more conducive to the ends
justice to postpone the hearing oi ib e
question, aid adjoi.rued it tor a fortnight.
