The constitutionality of a National Bank has been a disputed question ever since the first pro position to charter one. Its opponents have urg ed with much force the objection that the power to charter a bank was rejected by the Convention ■which framed the Constitution. The following extract from Mr. Jefferson’s notes made at the time, explains that matter quite satisfactorily.— Governcur Morris was, we believe, a member ot the Convention, and also a member of the Con gress that.chartered the first bank, and voted for it. Notes-on Hanks. March the lit//, 1798.—When the Bank bill was under discussion in the House of Represen tatives. Judge Wilson came in, and was standing by Baldwin. Baldwin reminded him of the fol j lowing fact which passed in "the grand conven tion.” Among the enumerated powers given to congress, was one to erect coiporations. It was on debate struck out. Several particular powers | were then proposed. Among others, Hubert Mor iris proposed to give congress a power to establish a national bank. Gaverneur Morris opposed it, observing that it was extremely doubtful whether the constitution they were framing could ever be passed at ail by the people of America; that to give it its best chance, however, they should make it as palatable as possible, and pul nothing into it not very essential, which might raise up enemies; that hi’s colleague (Robert Morris) well knew that “a bank” was in their State (Pennsylvania) the very watch word of party; that a bonk had been the great bone of contention between the 4 two parties of the State, from the establishment of their constitution, having been erected, put down H erected again, as either party preponderated; that therefore, to insert this power, would instantly enlist against the whole instrument, the whole of the anti-hank party in Pennsylvania. Whereup on it was rejected, as was every other special i power, except that of giving copy-rig.its to au thors, and patents to inventors; the general power of incorporating being whittled down to his shred. Wilson agreed to the fact.— Jefferson's Memoirs. The following extract from Mr. Madison’s let ter in 1831, explains his views of the matter.— Being a doubtful question, Mr. M. thought that 'x the action of Congress and the Judiciary, and ac ■jl quiesced in by the people, and all constituted au- B thorilies for so long a period, had fixed the con struction in favor of the power. Thisisundouht « ediy a strong view of the matter and a very cor- B reel one. Extract from Madison's Letter to Mr. Ingersoll, dated, Jane, 1831. That there may be extraordinary and peculiar circumstances controlling the rule in both cases. may he admitted : but with such exceptions, the rule will force itsclfonthe practical judgement of the most ardent theorist. He will find it impos sible to adhere to, and act officially upon, his B solitary opinions as to the meaning of the law or 9 constitution, in opposition to a construction re duced to practice, during a reasonable period of time; more especially where no prospect existed of a change of construction by the public or its m agents. And if a reasonable period of time, ■ marked with the usual sanctions would not bar the individual prerogative, there could he no lim itation to its exercise, although the danger of error must increase with the increasing oblivion ■ of explanatory circumstances, and with the con tinued changes in the import of words and B phrases. Let it then he left to the decision of every in telligent and candid Judge, which, on the whole is most to he relied on for the true and safe con k struction of the constitution, that which has the uniform sanction of successive legislative bodies tkfough a period of years, and under the varied ascendency of parties; not on that which depends upon the opinions of every new legislature, heated r us it may he by the spirit of party, eager in the pursuits of some favorite object, or led away by the eloquence ami address of popular statesmen, » themselves perhaps under the influence of the B same misleading causes.

Correspondence of the U. S. Gazette. Nr.w Yoiiic, Sunday, P. M. I shall at once put you out of suspense with respect to the anxiously looked for Steam Ship. Neither of them have yet arrived up the present writing. Money matters have been looking rather bet ter here towards the close of the week, and the arrangement just perfected by our country banks, for the redemption of their notes in the city at a ’ regular and moderate rate of discount, is regard ed as very satisfactory. Still things are looking gloomy, and the com plaints cs to the scarcity of money continues on nil sides. Favorable advices from England would j however, do much to improve affairs here, and 1 such may be roeeted here every month, JM . Tub New Chub. —It is difficult to foresee I the effects of the present heavy rains upon the [ approaching crop of cotton. The Vicksburg j Sentinel of the 15th inst., intimates that new ! L cotton will he brought to market at all the river ; towns by the end of the present month. Last, j season, says the same paper, the first cotton was ' received on the 20th August from the plantatiou of Colonel Bingaman,, near Natchez, and was shipped to New-York, in the steamer Natchez, where it arrived on the Sth .September. The cotton is much more forward this season, and will be brought to market at least twenty days i earlier “The Gentleman of tuf. Oi.d School” is the title of a new novel hy that prolific, yet ele gant writer, James,just published by the Harpers of New V ork. It is for sale by Mr. T. H. Plant, of this city, to whom we are indebted for a copy, . The Baltimore American says:—“ A gentle- , man of this city who has a field of fifteen acres | filled with a crop of flourishing Morus Multicau lia, has sold the crop during the present week for ( the sum of thirty-two thousand five hundred dul- i lars. ■ ; The Militia of Ponnsyl vania amounts to ”07,- | ! 000 men, of which 5000 are cavalry, 12,000 ri" j fiemen, and the rest artillery and infantry. For the. Chronicle and Sentinel. Messrs. Editors: —l observed in your paper a day or two ago, a communication over the sig nature of ‘‘ A Planter,” the object of which seem ed to be to discredit the Ocmnlgee Bank of Ma con. I, for one, am in favor of the four per cent, law, and think it a very good one, and that the present, are just such times as require it to be made use of. That law was made for the pro- 1 tection of banks against brokers and other banks; to prevent them from being unnecessarily haras sed by runs, made upon them for speculation and ndividual profit. At the presenttime, exchange on New York is worth about three per cent; the cost of transporting specie thither is about one per cent., or perhaps less; so that upon every dollar a broker can draw from the banks in spe cie, he can make a clear profit, of two per cent, by shipping it to New York, and drawing against it. This operation benefits nobody but the brok er; on the contrary it injures every body else by disabling the hank from doing business for the benefit of the public. Now I ask if it is right that the whole community shall be made to suffer, when sufforcnco is already scarcely tolerable, for the benefit of a few brokers and obstinate banks'! 1 answer no! and every true planter in the State will answer no! I justify the course of the Oc mulgcc Bank—it had a legal right to avail itself of the four per cent, law, and I am glad that it did. I hope it will do so again and again when ever its bills are presented for the purpose of in dividual speculation, and I guaranty that it will find itself justified in the eyes of the community. The whole object of the publication of “A Plant er” is to cast a suspicion upon the bills of that institution in order that they may be bought up at a large discount and handsome profit made upon them. I hope that object will be defeated by the good sense of the communty. In conclusion allow me to express the opinion that the writer of “A Planter” is no planter, or at least a very small one, his planting interest not being more than a patch of morus mult.icau lis. A genuine Planter. Bennett, the curious and rather uncommon genius who presides overtheNevv York Morning Herald, gives some amusing sketches of Mr. Van Burcn’s tour through the river counties of that State. Take the following for instance: The arrangements on board the Kosciusko, on the part of the captain, were admirable; but the scenes that occurred there were most amusing. Every loafer felt himself authorized to step up and address His Democratic Majesty, and annoy and bore him.—A Captain Horsi-r, offtingSing, came up, standing not over and above steady,and thus lectured him;— “Mr. Van Buren—(hiccup)—some call you little Malty—(taking him by the hand)—but that’s all d d stuff; some call you a d d magician—l call you Mister Van Buren, (hiccup) so you are, old fellow, aint you 1 (His Majesty bowed.) Very well, then, I mean to tell you a bit of my mind. 1 knew you when you was no body—before you ever expected to be any !>ody, by God I did—(hiccup)—and I’ve been a d d good friend ofyuur’s, old fellow—l have, (hiccup) by God. But they do say, Malty, that you’re d d tricky; now, (hiccup) I’ve stuck by you, and I mean to stick by you (hiccup) as long as you (hiccup) behave yourself. But, by God,you must (hiccup) behave yourself, (hiccup) and go pretty d d straight—or I’ll walk into you (reeling) like a knife, (hiccup) hy God ! I've vo ted for you—(hie) let’s see (hie) —one, two, three—two, three, (hie) —ah! d n the odds— let’s takeadriuk, old fellow.” His Majesty declined, and then a little boy, three years old, named Martin Van Buren Brooks was presented to him. “What’s your name, my little fellow ?” asked his Highness. “Martin Van Boren,” said the child. A very good name.” said His Majesty, and gave the child a gold f 5 piece. Soon after this a dozen hoys marched up before hi;n, and the leader, named Roscoe, deliv ered an oration, a quarter of an hour long. His Majesty, without looking up, replied, “My young friend, those sentiments do you honor; and it you retain them, as you grow up in life, they’ll be an honor to you, and you’ll be an honor to your country.” A companion of young Roseoc’s was so mortified at His Majesty’s short and unmean ing answer, that he looked His Highness indig ' nantly in the face, and patting Henry Roscoe on the back, exclaimed, “Give it him over again, Hen.; give it him again; he didn’t understand it.” His Majesty landed atPeckskill, and marched up to the t ivern, where he stood on the stoop, and received some of the citizens. A Dutcn par i son addressed him in a long, rambling, rigmarole speech, beginning at the creation of the Globe, I and running down to the resurrection morning j and the day ofjudgment. He also lugged in the sub-treasury, abolition, the North Carolina, the school ships and home squadron, the Maine war, the kingdom of Great Britain and the kingdom of heaven. Mr. Van Buren never looked up, hut was [talc and wearied. A loafer in the crowd cried out, “Joe, did you see how darned pale the President turned, and how he shook when the j parson told him about the day of judgment! An , other loafer followed him down, soliloquising thus : —"Martin Van Buren—(hie) —d d scoundrel—(hie) —what the hell has he done to he President!—(hie) —he’s laid an embargo on rum, and—(hie) —on money 100, by God. Eve ry body follows him—(hie) —and nobody fol lows me—(hie). But when I get him on hoard j the boat—(hie)— l’ll give him the d deal lick ing—(hie).” And just then he reached the dock, ‘ fell in the river, and bad to be fished out. From the A’. V. Commercial Advertiser. important legal opinion of col. Joseph >l. White, of Florida, [COUNSKLLOU AT LAW.] The undersigned has been asked Ids legal opin ion upon the right of Messrs. Schmidt & Hamil ton to organize and carry into effect a lottery un der the laws of Florida. It appears that an ap plication was made by them to the Legislative Assembly of the Territory for such a privilege, wh'ch was granted by the Senate and Legisla tive Council, ami vetoed by the Governor. It was ascertained that by a previous act in force, and unrepealed, certain eomnds-ioners therein named were authorized “to raise such sum of sums of money, by lottery, in such scheme or schemes, as they may deem appropriate or advisa ble” to complete a Court House and Seminary. The commissioners have deemed it “appropri ate and advisable” to adopt this scheme, which j they have a period, right to do. so long as the act stood in force, and without limitation as to time. 1 It it is urged that such an act, for such a purpose, ! was not intended for so large an operation, the answer is obvious, that the Legislature has not j specified the extent or duration of tho scheme.— The discretion is given to the commissioners, who have acted upon the subject, and it is not in the power oflhe Governor, Legislature, or Judi ciary, to hinder or obstruct, in any manner, the • execution of such plan as the commissioners shall ! agree upon. 1 am of opinion, therefore, that Schmidt & | Hamilton have the legal right to execute the scheme agreed upon, in concurrence with, and under legal authority of tho commissioners. I have seen the paper signed by the parlies, and cousider it sufficient in law to authorize the scheme for the disposition of the Arcade, and other property in New Orleans. JOS, M. WHITE, of Florida. New York, July Kith, 1839. Tim Nkw Oulkans Kkal Estate Lot tkiit. —It is with feelings of satisfaction that we are induced to lay before our readers the above lucid opinion of that eminent lawyer, Colonel Jos. M. White, of Florida, in reply to the un founded assertions made by some interested in dividuals, and also, we regret to add, in a few instances, by the public press, against the legality of the grant under which this lottery is to draw. Our numerous friends, and even our enemies, will now be compelled to admit that this is no longer to be considered as a “hoaxindeed, the evi- i dencc of such being the general belief has hither- ( to been so slight, that had we consulted our own j individual judgment, Colonel White’s opinion, would never have been taken—but we have yield- I ed to the opinion of our friends, and taken his j opinion—and behold the result—a most triumph- ! ant one! Mr Louis Schmidt, the principal rnanager.be- ! ing also desirous of refuting any slanderous ob- I servations that have been made, adverse to the j validity and fairness of the lottery in question, 1 has come hence from New Orleans, provided with introductions of the highest nature, and is fully prepared to give such New York city references as will he satisfactory to the most sceptical, and a complete answers to the endeavors made by some parties who have an object to gain, to cast odium ! on the concern. SYLVESTER & Co, 15G Broadway. From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser Mr. Clay, in company with bis eminent friend, Gen. Porter, crossed over the river yester day, at the Falls, to witness the parade of the 43d regiment, and were received with all military etiquette by the Colonel and his staff. 'The Col onel very politely invited his distinguished visi ters to review the regiment. But though Mr. iSecietary Forsyth, a year or two ago, complied with a simular invitation by reviewing a body of troops at Montreal. Mr. Clay seemed to think, notwithstanding tho precedent, that such oecupa- 1 tion of arms belonged to the soldier rather than to j the statesman; and therefore declined his share of ! the intended honor in favor of his war worn | friend, whoso title to the name and honors of a j soldier, more than one English regiment has be- | fore now had occasion to appreciate and acknow ledge; and Gen. Porter took position and review ed the troops. As the columns passed him in re view, his thoughts must have reverted to the 1 times when on this same frontier, and in the very ( vicinity of the spot where he stood, British eol- j umns were displayed before him for far dilferent i purposes. Amid the battles and bloodshed of the Niagara ; frontiers, he little dreamed that in the very neigh borhood of Lundy’s La no, and almost on the trampled sward of the battle field, a British regi ment would honor him ami the statesman whose | eloquence and bailors in the cabinet, co-operated | with his own bravery and services in the field, with the peaceful pageant of n gala day review. Henry Clay and Peter B. Porter are entitled to the respect of Englishmen, scarcely less than to the gratitude of Americana; and as long as the splendid diplomacy at Ghent, of the one, and the bravery on the Niagara frontier, of the other, are remembered, they will enjoy it. fn honoring such men, the gallant “Forty Thin]” honnrzd themselves and the glorious country which they serve, and which is the common mother of usali. Mississippi Banks. —The Vicksburg Senti nel of the 15lh instant, contains the following pleasing items of intelligence : Banks and Exciianox.— The Commercial Bank of Natchez is now redeeming its six months post notes, due about the 20th August with specie.. The Union Bank is redeeming her post notes,, due Ist August, with specie, or checks on New Orleans at two per rent premium. The Real Estate Bank of Hinds county is re deeming her post notes due, in silver, or paying out sovereigns at $5 25. Thepar|value of the sovereign is only f,4 90.

His large bow windows were ■ | decorated with vases, containing tinctures and nostrums of every hue, and medicines of all kinds i j well marked and labelled, from the essence of , Burdock to Brandrcth’s Pills. After the usual ! i ceremonies the two friends sat down to talk of ! • I by-gone. days. An elderly gentleman entered.— . j “How do you do, l)r. Borax 1” said he, ‘I have a 1 most unaccountable pain in my shoulder, and . should like a dose of your Pigtorum—give me , enough to operate —for I feel much distressed.”— IHe certainly appeared Vo be in great pain. Will i the plain or tincture 7’ inquired Dr. B. •Plain,by all means,’ said he. Dr. Borax took | down the large vase and dealt him out nearly two wine glasses lull of medicine. After adding ' a little water, it was gone to-seek the pain in the I shoulder. c •Scarcely had this operation been performed, C w hen a small lad entered. ‘Dr. 1!., father wants { eight drachms of your Stripum Pigtorum—he I wants the tinctured.’ Down came the other vase, c well tilled with crimson liquid, w hich looked for I all tile world as it it might have served lor the ( drink of gods. Bacchus would at least have no 1 objection to partake ol a libation from the fount. A pint measure was filled, the money paid, and 1 the lad retired. , Another entered, and called for a portion of i Pigtorum for a maiden aunt: another and anoth er came, some calling for a single drachm, some tor four, some for six, and some for sixteen drachms at a time. The last amounted to a full quart.— The medicine vases were several times emptied, in the course of a low hours, and as often replen ished from the casks behind the counter. The Doctor's visitor being puzzled to ascertain the meaning of the term Stripum Pigtorum, was led to smell and even taste of the contents of the va ses, when he ascertained to his astonishment that this had Latin phrase, being rendered into good English, signified nothing more nor leas than striped pig, alias Rum and Brandy—which was dispensed to the good people of the village, under the sanction ol an act of cite great and General Court, which permits certain Apothecaries to sell ardent spirits for medical purposes, and to he used in the arts. So he called for a small por tion of Pigtorum himself, and walked away' high ly gratified with his discovery. A southern planter having frequently witness ed the depredations committed on his onion beds, concluded that a young negro had stolen them for the purpose of supplying his neighbors. Af ter vainly attempting to extract a confession from blacky, he gave him a sound thrashing, thinking no doubt, if lie was not the thief, be should serve as a proxy until 1 the real depredator was found. On the following morning, the negro, seeing a strange animal lurking about the garden, succeed ed in capturing him and took him in triumph to his master, who saluted him with, “What do you bring that skunk hero fori” “Me bring him here dat uiassa no more trash poor nigger ; —him steals nsassa’e injim.jist smell he breflj” RsurAHKAULi: Escape.— On the passage of the ship Anaxatider, from New Orleans to New York,« young lad aged about 14 years, from a naturally frolieksnmc and mischievous disposition ■became so troublesome in his pranks that it was 'threa'tcned by the captain, if they were continued that fee would confine him in a water cask. Our youEgsler took no heed, however, and at his next o fiance was put into the cask, which was headed up, {caving a large hung hole for the admission of air. That night the ship encountered a violent ■storm, and, in a sudden lurch, the cask contain ing the hoy rolled over info the sea. The circum stance was not noticed by those on board. For ■tunately, the cask struck bung up, and floated. ■about thirty hours when it was thrown upon the beach at Cape St. Bias. Here the hoy made desperate efforts to extricate himself from his prison without success, and in despair gave up to die. Some cows, however, strolling on the bench, were attracted to the cask ; and, in walking round it, one of the number, it being fly time, switched her tail into the bung hole, which the lad grasped with a desperate resolution. The cow bellowed and set off fur life, and after running some two hundred yards with the cask, struck it against a log and knocked it, as wo say, into a cocked hat. The hoy, thus providentially released, was discovered by some fishermen on the point and taken into Apalachicola, where a small collection being made for him, he was enabled to proceed north byway of Columbus.— St. Joseph Times. Cold Water Ode. The following two stanzas are from an ode j written by J. Pierpont, and sung at tlic cold wa ter celebration at Poston on the 4th instant: Ye heroes of the bottle, Who “ bumper” every toast, Who keep your wine in cobwebs wrapped, And make its age your boast, The oldest wine your vaults have known, Fioin prsss or vat to flow, Is new to the dew That six thousand years ago Caine down to fill our cups one night, .Six thousand years ago. Ye champions of cold water, Who quaff that drink divine, Who've given your rum and brandy o’er, And bid adieu to wine. The bottles that ye crack to-day, By God’s own hand are given; Some in earth have their Birth. And some are made in heaven ; The granite rock and spring are those, And these the clouds of heaven. ‘‘The Striped Pro” outdiinc. —lt is said that "‘thirst 1 has so sharpened the wits of some hard drinkers in Mississippi, as to have enabled them to discover away of getting round the gallon law ■of that Slate.
