To lloury Clay, Estj.—Letter 1 1 Sir—Among tho subjects lo which I hove proposed to invite your attention, you will naturally expect me lo assign the first place in order and importance, to that which is ‘‘first mid last and midst” in the minds of men. I speak, of course, of a Hank ol the United Hutus. Its claim to tins disiinciion must he admitted, though, by me, reluctantly. Ido not deny its importance, whether as present* mg a question of political economy; of mere fiscal convenience; of constitutional law; or of political philosophy. In each of these aspects, it is a subject ol high interest, Hut uh on cle ment m this discuss.on, it is’of little moment. To say this; and to explain how it is, that, with my conviction ol its nncori.siliutioiialily, and mischievous political tendencies strength- j , cncd hy lime mid experience, I am yet dis- I , posed to pars it by, is my purpose in advert- , mg to it hero. Whenever called inter discus. , sum, it must he a theme of never-ending strife ( between mo and it* advocates. Hut it is not in a spirit of strife that I address myself lo ' you, and 1 would therefore.remove it from be- „ tween us. It. is like the tabled shield ol gold i end silver. It has two faces. You look on f ' one; lon the other. Lot tis not dispute about ( it, hut boar wlb mo candidly, • pray you, ] while I invite you, for a moment, to change , with me our points of view. Even this Ido *. reluctantly; hut the distempered condition of K tin; public mind demands it. I You may, perhaps, doubt the sincerity ol , one, who, professing to he a strict Suites Right ( man, of the Anti-Hank school, approaches the | subject in Ibis quiet temper. Hut what right [ have 1 to press it upon you particularly? t Where is the man of light and leading among , us, to whose principles we might look as a se- | ' cunty against tho incorporation of a new Hunk t 'ofthe United H:a cs! Is Martin Fan Huron B that man? What arc his principles ! Who 0 knows them! Shall wo find them in the his- |, tory of the Missouri restriction, ami the Cum- ( | burland Turnpike gates? Shall wo find them ~ in Ins readiness to discover in the Constitution L . fin authority to do whatever men in power a may un it lo do, and a convenient prohibition c to do whatever limy may happen lo waul not v t') do! Malniaining, as you do, Sir, tho con- ( struction |iut hj- ihe Supreme Court, on the f ( WMrds '‘accessary and proper.” would you || tiol blush lo contend with Ins parasites («) that j that which is ullogethor eonsiitulional when a C jngress chooses to do it, is palpably and n grossly unconstilulional, and that lo contend u for the contrary, in a damnable heresy, so u soon as Congress chooses not to do it; that g precisely such u Hank ns Andrew Jackson h might have thought necessary and proper, n would have been constitutional, and that any t| other imaginable hank was uiicuiisiiiulioiiiil ? gi ’i'u such politicians, tho Constitution is what a the Bible is to devout Catholics;—just what ti Councils tiinltc it.

I havo small respect lor the sent il pies of him who habitually stickles for n liter- ( al construct on in regard to particulars in p which tho Constitution uu_;lit be changed, cl .without in the least alluding the rights or in- a lerests of any man. As a regulator of the 1* operations ol the Covorinuuut, as n mere | tr guide in lie exercise of its acknowledged II powers, it prescribes nothing, that might not, i to os well, have been left to bo moulded by the h Government Usolt according to exper.euco ol 1 h its necoi-sitios and convenience.

To us, who a are, hy our position, doomed to he ever ui a ti minority, it is our solo secuniy. ’J'o us, il is i the charter of our rights; onr place of refuge; v the ark ol our salvation.

Mr Hives was never any thing but as an appendage to some great man—the echo of the dead, or the shadow of the living. When an echo or a shadow sets up for itself, what is it? Shall we turn to Judge White? Who asks tins question? None but they who supported Mr Van Horen against him. But what can we do with Judge White? Let him go to Knoxville, and there enact Cato at Utica. He is not suited to the times. Ctnsir and Potn pey are the men.

Their voles are not for him— hut he will have their confidence and their prayers . He lias mine. Hod bless him! Shall we turn to Mr. Calhoun, the political Tiresias—once a States Highi man, and twice a Consolidationisl? Why, it is but yesterday that he was the warm and steady advocate ot a Bunk ; and strange to tell, be only descried (lie cause of the Bank when he deserted us I 11c surely did not mean to lend his counte nance to Hitchiu’s idea, that none arc true Stale Rights men who do not belong to the spoils party, and that all others are bought by the Banks. But there is a sort es transcen dentalism about Mr. Culliuun’s political phil osophy, which is beyond our comprehension. It is of the school of Kant, and we arc to be whipped and set on the dunce block, be cause wo cannot understand how an increase of patronage infers a diminution ofinfluencc — how the power of the Executive is to be cur tailed by investing the President with the ab solute coni ml of the whole monetary system of the country —now his means of rewarding his partisans are to be curtailed hy making him , the greatest money holder and money broker in the world, operating witli an annual income 1 equal to the whole of Rothschild’s capital ' and, above all, bow it is that Mr Calhoun’s i coincidence with the Administration in appro ving a single proposition which they have j themselves deserted, should engage ins uni form support to the men themselves and all 1 their measures. Is it not amazing? States ( Right men have all along agreed to dilfer ' among themselves on the Bank question. The | most thorough going nullificrs have been Bank , men—and they were far more intolerant ol ns Ilian wc of them. No body can have for- ( gotten how Mr. McDulHo was in live habit of 1 brow beating his party, and scornfully declar ing that he would not condescend to argue the constitutional question with them, lie stands where he did, and Mr. Calhoun cannot ilford to quarrel With one of whose snbordina ion ol (lie heart (a feeling which docs him i honor) t<’, his early patron, he (eels secure.— , out Mr. Preston is denounced for holding the , B\)m\(mti \uj \m.i uKviiyw ItuUl.

Even now, in making confession of hissing, ho docs not pul that on the fist—on ’* the contrary, lie explains and justifies. "The CJovernmeui,” he says, ‘ had treated Bank pa, ier as money, and so made it money, and so thanged thu Constitution, and so gave itself ~ i power to create a Bank. Then comes the .’resilient, in h;s omnipdtence, and refuses to real Bank paper us money, and so changes 11 ho Constitution hack again, and s» lakes iway the power to create a Bank.” This is t us argument. Well now it seems (and you < have my thanks for it sir,) the Government i again treats Bank paper, ns every body else ( treats it —that is, according to Mr. Calhoun— as money, and, hy consequence, the Constitu tion is again changed, and hy consequence, 1 the power to create a bank is restored. This I is Mr. Calhoun’s conclusion ; not mine. Jt i is above me. I can never understand how, if . another man is bound to deliver mo a horse, and 1 lake money in satisfaction, that the mo ney thereby becomes a horse, and must be fed with corn—but to Mr. Calhoun, all this is plain and, us he has learned of late to halo the Bank and its President, for having successlul ly, and with a firmness that shamed Ins pusil lanimity, braved the Tyrant before whose frown he cowered, and from whose wrath votj saved hint—he has found himself constrained from regard to his dear consistency, to op. pose tlie repeal of the arbitrary Specie Circu. lar.lor which repeal ho formerly voted. Had ho again voted fur it, he must perforce have acquiesced in ihu charter of a new Bank.— To my understanding, he must do so still. — He is not the Government. His beggarly one vole in nine, against thirty odd, cannot change the fact. The Government in spite of him, again treats bank paper us money, and on his principles the Government is again bound to establish a Bank, and he, as a mem ber of the Government, is bound to vote for it. He bus no choice. 7’lic Government is bound to regulate as inuncv, whatever it treats as mo ney, and by hie own showing a bank is ilie on- I ly matins. 1 daresay he will tind some way to escape i.his conclusion for my part I see none. As 1 never adopted Ins premises, 1 am free to reject it; but i.‘ he can escape it, so can lie evade any argUiAent, any obligation, any pledge whatever. J will have no such Pro tons; and while 1 retain my hostility to a bank, Mr. Calhoun will bo the very last man to whom 1 will entrust the defence ol the Con stitution against the friends of one. But on whom, after alt, docs it depend, wheth er wc arc to have a Uanft of the United Suites ot no 1 On Mr. Van Diiren? No, On you? JKo. It depends on the People. The people may awake Itom their lethargy—they may shako otf this incubus administration—they may punish ] the crimes ot speculators, plunderers and tyrants —they may even elect you President; and yet have no Bank, unless they choose. But they will choose lo have a Bank, and a Bank they will have, whether you lie elected or no. And why ! Because the condor! of Government has driv. ou theitt to believe it indispensable. For this, you have all along contended. I differed from you, and do so still. So once did many who are now convinced t for Ihc conviction which your arguments failed to carry to their minds, has been forced upon them by their recent sufferings. When you assured them that their only choice was between a Hank, and gieat fiscal and com mercial embarrassment, they hoped you might be wrong or that the inconvenience might not be in tolerable. But the Government has come in aid ol your argument.—ll has brought upon them a degree ol disticss, such as you certainly never Jlillcipatcd, from if mere waul uj a (Sank, and sells them that this is the true <it-d only allerna.. live - thallhcieis no choice; but between u Dank and a system of Finance, which thinking men foresaw, and which all men now feel, must be at tended by insupportable disaster. Both parlies have 'bus laboured ; the one loading, the other driving; the otic by argument, the other by mis rule, to es’ablish this conclu-ion in the common mind. The excitement of war, the pride of mil iiy glory, the stimulus of resentment and ambi tion, may forlily the minds ol a people to near much. But what is there in the calamities of modern war, like what we have borne I And what is there, “in these weak piping times of peace,” to steel the hearts of men against such inflictions ? The History of the World tells of no people having enough of public virtue, to lie do vn rous kvtu in misery, from any sense of duly what ever. Religious fanaticism itself, could, not abide the trial. A single devout Mussulman might perhaps be found, who would sooner starve .than eat [lurk,. But let (he Jand of tjio Moslim afford no food hut that, and the heaven of the Prophet would be presently renounced. But, while the two great parties of the Union have thus concurred in forcing the people tu bo lieve ihoir only choice to be, between a Bank and Bread, and no Bank and no Bread; there arc some who believe, (and I am of the number) that we might have no Bank, and yet not starve. Were the cars of the people open to argument on this point, I might now discuss if. The violence ol arhilraiy misrule has closed their ears, and the irrefragable logic ol Mr Calhoun has sealed them up. I turn then, again to you, whoso influence will prevail so much iu adjusting the detads of a fu. lure Bank. On that subject I shall beg leave to offer some thoughts to your consido ration. In another letter, I propose tu call your attention to some of the evils of such and institution, and es pecially to those which the calamitous events of the last five years have developed. To devise a remedy for these, is a task which well deserves your best thoughts. A Fill KMI OF STATE 111 GUTS. CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. ' AUGUSTA. ___ _ i Tliiirsilii y .Morning, June 2H.

A lady, one of the passengers saved, stales she saw thu alter part ol the Pulaski, after the sepa i alien ol the Boat took place, sink so far as to throw the rudder out of water, in which situation it remained as long as it was visible from the por. lion of the wreck she was on.

The first impression was that the stern had sunk. It now appears that “it drifted off, without sink ing, with many people on it, plainly visible to those on the forward deck-'’ The statement of lady, one of the passengers, that she saw ‘ the after part of the Pulaski sink so us to throw the rudder out of waterI'’ 1 '’ i s recon cilable with that made by the Committee of Pas sengers.

[ton TUE CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.] City Arsenal. Mr. Jones—Tho communication of a citizen urging the propriety of locating the City Arsenal, in the rear of ill-' Masonic Hall, was the first in- VvmMton I hru\ t\\,a contemplation. Now-, Sir, although I know that wo live in an ago of humbugs, it had never oc curred to me, that so ridiculous and suicidal a project as that of building an arsenal at all, would have been entertained for a moment. What end is in view. 1 suppose the one avowed, is that it will give additional security to our citizens, and how will it clfect it, by collecting together their sole means of defence and lolling them when threatened with danger to fly to this point with their wives and children and arm themselves in I their defence, hut suppose that they are met at its threshold, by a ruthless foe, who had as a prelimi nary step possessed themselves of the Citadel. What a scene of carnage would ensue, and if an attempt upon our lives is ever made, what plan could he devised so likely to succeed, and at the sains time so easy of execution, as tile oho to which 1 have alluded, and to cflect which, the erection of an arsenal would ipvito them to con centrate their energies, I warn ihoso in authority—l charge them by every consideration which magistrates should hold dear, the liberties, lives, and property of the people whom ,lhey govern, to abandon the erection of this building. It it is conceived that our means of defence are insufficient, arm the citizens, require every white male between tho ages of sixteen and forty to arm himself at the public expense, (if you please) with a musket arid a given number of hall cartridges, appoint an armourer, whose bu siness it shall be to keep the arms in order, such as are not brought to him, let him call and in spect a! stated intervals, and lake with him to the armory such as require cleaning &c. with the un derstanding that he shall not have in his posses sion more than a half dozen muskets at any one time. It seems to me that some such plan, would be much tho most protective, and much the least expensive, two very important requisites in pub. lie, as well as in private operations. a Native citizen.

The Banking House of the Bank of the State of Georgia, was entered between (he closing of business on Saturday and Moqday morning, sup posed to he during Sunday. The outer door of the Vault was forced open—nearly all the draw. ers of the Officers’ desks opened and searched the inner iron door presented the obstacle to the villains entering tho Vault, and the Bank has sustained no loss, not a dollar having been stolen, as they were unable to obtain access to the mo ney. The following paper was left on the table of the President directly in fiont of his chair, written in a plain bold hand. “That iron door made a complete April Fool of us.” And on the reverse of the sheet, the fol lowing, “It is hard to kick against the pricks.— Bad Luck.” The citizens should be upon the alert—there are no doubt, incendiaries among us, who failing to obtain money, may resort to other means. All vagrants should be arrested and examined. -J Correspondence of the New York Daily Express Laic and important Irom Canton. Canton, March 7, 1838. Herewith I give you an extract of a Govern ment Notification of a regulation inaJc by the Honorable Court of Director.-;, and published by the order of the Honorable the President of lire Council of India, in Council, under date of Cal cutta, 29th December, 1837, and republished in the Singapore Free Press, of February 1, 1838. Foreign ships belonging to any State or Coun try in Europe or in America, so long as such States or Countries, respectively, remain in amis ly with her Majesty, may freely enter the British seaports and harbors in the East Indies, whether they come directly from their own country or from any other place, and shall be there hospita bly received; and such ships have liberty to im port into such seaports from their own respective countries, goods, the produce of their countries; and to export goods from such seaports to any foreign country whatever, conformably to the re gulations established or to be established in such seaports. Provided, that it shall not be lawful for the said ships, in lime of war between the British Government and any state or power what ever, to export from the said British territories, without the special permission of the British Go. comment, any military or naval stores, saltpetre, or grain; nor to receive goods on board at one British port of India to bo conveyed to another British port in India, on freight or otherwise; but nevertheless, the original inward cargoes of such ships may be discharged at different British ports, and the outward cargoes may be laden at differ, enl British ports for their foreign destinations.” By which it appears that foreign ships may now freely enter the Indian ports either, directly from their own country or from any other place; to import from their own respective countries, goods the produce of their countries; and to ex. port goods from such ports whatsoever! of course deprived of the coasting trade) which heretofore they have been deprived; and which before re quire! American vessels loading at ports in India to disengage at a port in the U. States. It now throws open to us the carrying trade. Our ves sels might now find d tor their interest to stop at nidia. for freights of cotton, or for investments to this place. Their bales are more compact than ours, which will enable them to take greater cargoes. The rate of freight from Bombay is now about 20 Company’s rupees per candy of 7 cwt, or 784 lbs. making it about 1 1-5 cents per lb.; and from Calcutta $4 per bales of 300 lbs., making 1 1.3 cents pet- lb.; last year freights from Calcutta were as high as $6 per bale. A bale of Bombay cotton weigh* 3 cwt., or 336 lbs, being two and one third bales to a candy. By this Opium Clippers under American col ors can now ply between this place, Bombay and Calculta,—there would be one objection to it, in consequence of their not being able to stop at Singapore, or at oilier British possessions in the Straits to discharge any part of a cargo taken in at Bombay or Bengal, as it would come within the scoj u of the coasting trade ; of course they will be enabled to stop at Singapore and any oth er of the British possessions In the East, and loud Hico or other cargo for China or other parts ts the world. It ruould however appear by the new regula tion that an American or any foreign vessel can not lake cargo from China to India, the produce of the country, nor can they, as before, lake from any other foreign country, by any vessel not un der the respective flag of that nation, the produce of that country, as for instance, copper by an American vessel from South America ; or the pro duce and manufactures of any foreign country hour the United Stales. It is clearly an oversight, and caution should be observed or some one might bo caught. I'rom the N. Y. Express, June 23. .Honey Market—City News. 1 bo seen have drooped a little to (TTiy. J lit?

Friends and opponents of the Administra tion unite in deprecating it; whilst the Adminis - tration persists in pressing it upon Congress, de fying public opinion with the taunt that, whether Congress shall approve or condemn it, it is now effectively in force, and in force shall rem ilti as long as “the party” remains in power. —National Intelligencer.

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated tit disgust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements of nostrums that are coustnntlv ap pearing in tho public prints. All are ready to ex claim, our souls arc sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifies. This stale of tho public mind would seem to forbid any pert on of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis coveries in medicine to the tr.ul of the public ; still motives ol delicacy should not prevent us from making known any real discoveries, which we are confident will benefit our fellow-men. This latter consideration lias prompted the aulhoi of theso Bitters to make them known. Ho knows they oro highly efficacious, for he himself, his wife an J many friends have given their, a thorough trial. Flo was himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much that even ho lias fjeeii rcstorcd'to horlth. Mrs. Cosby was troubled for many years, but was restored to health by the use ot these Bitters.

Lassitude, general Weakness, Disturbed Sleep, &c. The composition is entirely botanical, and has proved officae.ous when many celebrated medicines had failed. In support ol which ho gives the iollo w ing certificate, and might give many others : ” Having been afflicted with dyspepsia for seve ral years, and having used many celebrated medi cines without receiving any Benefit, I purchased a buttle of U.
