The Abbe Prleat dcs Molieres. Archime
des, profoundly occupied in solving a geo
metrical problem, had no suspicion oi the as
sault of the city of Syracuse, until a souldier
snoroacbed him to demolish his house. This
'act is well known. I wish to call the atten
tion of my readers to one more recent, nrc
Authentic, and less curious. About the mid-
Elo of the last century the Abbe Privat des
Bviolicres, a great partisan tor the system of
■)( cartes, was one day sitting alone in a retir
ed part of his house, so intensly occupied in
mathematical calculations that he wasnot dis
turbed by a robber who had forcibly broken
■nto his house. When the robber entered
■iis room, and pointing a pistol at his breast,
Hcmanded of him his money, the learned Ab
|bc, without being in the least disturbed, fnm
fed the robber to the drawer, which he sup
posed contained the money; but the Honest
Wpentlcmn that was robbing the house not
finding any, and opening other drawers and
ldiscompo3ing the papers, “For Cod’s sake,”
■ exclaimed the Abbe, don’t touch those pa
lpi r>, the derangement of which will cost me
fnuch trouble, urtt-honf being the least useful
f ) you. Seek in the drawer just over it, and

.Mr. Monroe joined the army of the Revo
lution in the fall or winter of 177 G as a volun
teer, and brought with him from Virginia a
company ot artillery which he raised and com
manded, and of which the late William Wash
ington was lieutenant. Captain (afterwards
Colonel) Monroe sought the post of danger
at the battle of Trenton, on the 2.3 th Dec.
1770, and greatly distinguished himself as an
odicer in that action, in which he was severe
ly wounded, having been shot through the
breast, and by which he was disabled foi near
ly a year. Alter his recovery he was ap
pointed aid-de-camp to Major General Lord
Stirling, and continued in his staff for some
time. He was subsequently elected a mem

member in the year 17&3, when General
Washington resigned liis commission to that
ooay. Alter the war, Col. Monroe was ap

ipotentiary to the Court of France, and was
subsequently appointed Secretary of State un
der Mr. Madison, and held the last office from
1811 to the fall of 181-4; when in consequence
of the war with Great Britain, in which the
United States were then engaged, and to give,
greater vigour to the operations of the War
Department, he was appointed Secretary of
War, and held that office until the peace of
1813- when he was again pladrd by Mr.
Madison at the head of the Department of
State.

jou will do them the favor to allow them a

Montgomery, Glh July, 1831.
Gentlemen,
In reply to your note of yesterday, 1 must
bog of my friends tfieir forgiveness for declin
ing the publication of the few remarks which"
1 had the honor of submitting at out'late An
niversary Dinner. Those remarks, desultory
and hasty, were offered at the suggestion of
several of my friends, at a time when 1 was
laboring under severe indisposition; and
tnqiigh rniicn gratified at the compliment you
pay me in soliciting their publication, Inev
erthless cannot resist the conviction, that the
kindness vr.th which they were received was
attributable more to the generous spirit tliaf
prevailed *on the occasion, than to any intrin
sic merit in the observations themselves.
Such, however, as they were, 1 offered them
in candor and sincerity, with a perfect con
fidence in their truth and justness. Indeed,
Gentlemen, I am fully satisfied that the prin
ciples contended for by the friends of State
Rights, in opposition to National supremacy,
can drily Save’our government from ’ dissolu
tion, or what is more to be dreaded, Consoli
dation. So long as the Southern people shall j
retain the least attachment to civil liberty, ]
they never can surrender the sovereignty of
their .dates; and so long as they cherish a
proper regard for their individual richts and
private- property, they will not quietly submit
to the American System” of tyranny, by
which an Interested majority i:i Congress,
seek to enrich one portion of our common
country, by a rapacious plundering of an
j other. I ban that of the Tariff, there never
j was a system of more audacious robbery im
posed by fraud or force upon a free people,
io throw off its stupendous burthens-—to
confine Congress within the limits of consti
tutional and impartial legislation—to bring.
! hack our Government to her original purity,
i simplicity, and economy; and to secure the
■ reserved and undelegated tights of the peo
■ pie and the States from Federal usurpation,
are the great leading-.objects of the State
, Rights Party. Whether success or defeat
t awaits them, depends upon their firmness and
| patriotism. If Onited, success is certain—if
: divided, defeat is inevitable. A brave pro-'
. pie acting in concert in defence of unaliene
! bl e rights, can never fail in their righteous
I endeavors ; and if the Southern States desire
| to effect a repeal of the Tariff, they have only
j to say in one general voice, “what of right
ought to be done, shall bo done.” But if
they suffer themselves to become distracted
by local jealousies and private feuds, so that
they cannot act together in a common cause,
then the inevitable consequence must be a
perpetuation ot that unjust and disastrous
policy which cannot fail to ruin the present
| generation ann enslave the next. It is to be
| hoped that the people ot the South may yet be
able to discard those idle divisions which
stand in the way of the best interest of
themselves and their country. Whilst iveare
striving against one another, the common foe
is plundering ail parties ; and never can we
hope to rescue ourselves from the relentless
grasp of avarice and ambition until we cease
our warfare amongst ourselves and direct our
ii-• • . _
united energies in a common defence. It is
true that the Southern politicians arc united
in condemning the Tariff, but whether all
are sincere in their reprobation of it is a mat
ter of some donbt. They arc divided into two
classes, one of which are striving to throw
off the burthen ; the other to paralize their
efforts. They are known ns the State Rights
party on the one hand, and as the Consolida
tion party On thh other- They derive those
names from the tendency of the principles
which they respectively advocate. Whilst
the former contend, that for so manifest a
wrong and 3uch flagrant outrage upon our
rights, as the Tariff, there must he some
remedy j the latter, without suggesting any
remedy themselves, denounce all moans
which the other proposes, as rebellious and
treasonable. Which of these two classes of
politicians are entitled to the confidence of
the people, the people must determine for
themselves. If they are favorable to the doc
trine of unconditional submission to arbitra
ry and unconstitutional legislation, then be
it so—let them yield to the American system
and murmur not. But if they would shield
the Constitution of their country from viola
tion, and protect their private property front
lawless invasion, they have nothing to do
bur-act with unanimity and decision, undis
mayed by any numbers that may be arrayed
against them ; for their cause is emphatically
that of Liberty find justice, and it must pre
vail.
Be pleased, gentlemen, to accept of the
high regard and friendship which I cherish
for each one of you individually.

RAIL HOADS.
Advantages of rail roads over cabals.
The moving power has in each case to
overcome the merits of the load ; but the re
si stance on the road instead of increasing, as
in the canal, docs not increase at all. The
friction of a carriage on a rail-road moving
sixty miles ah hour, would not be greater than
if it moved but one mile an hour, while the
resistance in a river or canal, wtre'etich a mo
tion possible, would be multiplied 35G0
times. In propelling a carriage on a level
rail road, the expenditure of power will not Be’
in a greater ratio than that of the increase of
speed, and therefore the cost will inantain a
proportion with the useful effect; whereas, in
moving a boat on a canal or river, every in
crease of speed, or of useful effect, entails an
enonrinusly increased conaumplionsof the mo
ving principle.
1 But we have here supposed that the same
means may be resorted to for propelling boats
on a canal, and carriages on a railroad. It
docs not, however,appear hitherto, that tin3 is
practicable- Impedimenta to the use of
steam on cannis jiuvo hitherto, except in rare
instances, impeded its application
and we are forced to resort to animal pibwer
to propel the boats. We have here another
immense disadvantage to enedunter- The
expenditure of animal strength takes place in
a far greater proportion than, the increase of
speed. Thus, if a .horse of a certain strength
is barely able to transport a given load ten
miles a.day for a continuance, two horses of
the s.arrie strength would be altogether insuf
ficient to transport the same load tivenG miles
a day. To accomplish that, a much grec‘cr
number of similar horsCs would be requi
site. If a still greate r speed be attempted,
the number of horses necessary to accom
plish itrivoqld.be increased in a prodigously
rapid propsDrtion. This will be evident, if the
extreme case be considered, viz: that there
is a limit of speed which the horses under no
circumstances can exceed.
The astonishment wJiich lias been excited
in the public mind, hy the extraordinary re
sults recently exhibited tn propelling heavy
carriages by steam-engines on rail-roads, will
subside, if these circumstances be duly con
sidered. The moving power aiul the resis
tance are naturally compared with other mov
ing powers and -resistances with which our
minds have been familiar. To the power of
steam engine there is, in fact, no practical
limit; the size of the machine, and the
strength of the materials excepted. This is
compared with the agents to whose powers
nature has not only imposed a limit, but a
narrow' cue. The strength of animals is cir
cumscribed, and their power of speed still
more so. Again tKcrrsistance arising from
friction on a road may be diminished by art,
without any assignable limits, nor does it sus
tain the least increase, to whatever extent
the speed of the motion may be augmented;
on the cofttra.lv, the motion of a vessel through
a channel has to encounter a ’resistance by
increase of speed, which soon attains an a
mount which tfoald defy even the force of
steam itself, were it applicable, to overcome
it with any useful effect.

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.
In a late number we noticed the “Circular”
addressed to the several State Legislatures
throughout tire Union, contending for a renewal
: of the charter of the Bank of the United States.—
We then cursorily reviewed the leading propo
sitions 1-eid down by the “ Circular” to support
its pretensions, and endeavored to expose What
are considered an ingenious tut sophistical train
jof reasoning. The opinions we offered did not
go t show our objections to the institution, but
merely aimed to correct some of thp financial er
rors into which we thought the “ Circular” had
fallen. We shall now state our objections, ar.fi
accompany them with such remarks as may oc
cur to us.
In the first place, we object to the misnomered
Bank of the United States, as an impolitic insti
tution, and highly dangerous to the best interests
of the Country : and
In the second place, we object to it as uncon
stitutional establishment.
It is an impolitic institution, because it is dan
gerous in cases of peculiar emergency,—such for
instance as mightarse in the event of the govern
ment being at war with a foreign power. Sup
pose her, then, in thatbelligerent state. To ena
ble her to prosecute the contest efficiently,it would
be necessary that she should havean uncoiitfolled
disposition of the funds of thatßank, which is said
to belief’s. Campaign after campaign have drawn
largely upon the resources of the government and
she has successively made large drafts upon the
Bunk: She again applies to it for money. The
Board of Direction meet in solemn conclave and
pronounce upon the offered paper. By reference
to their books it is found that the government has
largely overdrawn her amount of stock, which
being only one-fifth would soon be absorbed in
the prosecution of an active warfare. The re
maining stockholders, \a large number of whom
arc foreigners, and a part of those Who at* not
probably politically opposed to the government,)
having a weight In the Direction which can cen
troid the operations of the Bank, now become ac
tuated not only by their immediate interest, but
by the no less powerful influence of their political
prejudices, and resolve to withhold all further aid
from the government Here then arises a crisis
—an appaljing crisis. The government is driven
, to seek aid from more accomodating Banks, who
estimating of her public credit by the up
parent standard of appreciation at which it is held
at home; exacts from her in a Loan, if they fed
disposed to grant it, a premium which, with the
principal, would perchance, saddle upon the
country a NATIONAL DEBT, which might re- j
quire aociitury to carx-qj. But this is net the,
greatest evil which could result from juch a state
of tilings. Placed in the predicament to Which
which wc have alluded, (and to which all gov
ernments are liable,) a delay in negotiatiating a
a Loan might provs destructive to the very liberties
of the country. Money end'credit aro the sinews
of war”—and whet! neither the one nor the other
can be cothmanded, natiops, like individuals,
mutt become subservient to their more powerful
adversaries- It has also been an objection to the
Bank of the United States, that she has appropri
ated large sums of money to buy up the aid of
Editors. CfLegislators, and of lawyers. But of
this wc know nothing—neither are any of the in
inculpatory statements which wo have seen Buf
ficientiy conclusive to fix such a stigma upon the
institution. V\ o are -not unaware, however, that
such means ofoorruptiun have been resorted to,
by monied institutions—but as it is a rule ofequi
ty with ns to consider all men “innocent until
they proven guilty,” Wo are also bound to extend
tliis reasonable construction to to the Bank of the
United States. .
This article embodies some of the considera
tions, which induce us to believe that the Bank
of the U. States, is not only an impolitic institu
tion, but one which is dangerous to the best inti -
terests of the country. In our next we will en
deavor to show that it so aki> an unco/ulitutional
establishment.
dT We had hoped—we did think—that 'the
controversies into which We had been precipita
ted, perforce* had been*gone through with, and
that we might again return to matters and things,
in a calm ami deliberate manner. We had almost
boxed the Compass, in the short space of our Ed
itorial career, ami had determined that for the fu
ture, our efforts would b more devoted to the
general interests of onr Bounty and State. We
shall persist in Mich a determination, but we WCre
surprised and mortified, and our interest requires,
that every act and measure, tending to assail the
rights of our people, and to oppress them, should
be met in Such a spirit, as justice and principle
authorises.
•- few Weeks ago, the Central Bank, attempted a
persecution of onr people, which has rarely, if ever*
had a parallel in the conduct of such Institutions.*
Armed with power, and vengeance, it made an
almost indiscriminate attack ofi tins place, as
though its aim was that of dessolation & destruc
tion. We had,permitted it topasa unnoticed till
now, when having received the two officials of
our btate government, the Journal and Recorder,
oi* 6yes were early drawn to a Central Bank ad
vertisement ; and having read it, wc wore astoun
ded to find that under tiie authority, and “by or
der of the Directors,” their Cashier, Hehry \V.
Malone, has ordered a sale of Indian Springs, Ma
con,and Columbus property, not only such as had
been forfeited, but that whicli has been paid for
in advance more than two years ago and for Which
plots and grants then issued. Satisfied of this
fact—wc protest against the Central Batik in thus
exercising its powers—Being illiberal in spirit
dishonorable in practice—and ruinous in tho use
of its unauthorised powers.
We say there can be no excuse hereafter—that
the Bank knows of no errors—corrects none—anil
ye* it nlunders as stupidly as its managers and
agents are possibly liable to. <o* Wo hope the
public attention will LecaUad to it.
