F. Several thinks have helped ID do it.—ln the first place, there's this old charge of Federal ism, the factrr is that all the heller informed part, even of our own party, believe il, though they try to greest it aver with the ignorant, hut they are beginning to have at rung faith in a ; every now and Asti 1 hoar one of thorn soy whon the thing is discussed, “well 1 don 1 , know how it is. but whenever you wo « great deal of smoke, there is mighty apt to be some fire.” In the next place there is the appointment of Col.

Didn't you a«e Col, Rutherford's letter about Bis hop’* qualifications and his deportment since be was appointed I Anddont you know that all this noise about Bishop is mere senseless clam * or ? F. No Ido not, il may or may not he, Col. Rutherford’s Idler so far as it goes is no rloubl true, hut that apeakaofhim only since his appoint ment. I know but little abuul <’ol. Bishop, hull know, that 1 never knew a man who was entire ly correct, who was charged with us many and sc riooa offences os he is. These charges wen made hy men of respectability and standing, they were in a course nf legal investigation, and I think, ond a great many others think that a decent re gard fur the feeling of an outraged and insulted community should at h ast have prevented this appointment until an investigate would he had. There certainly could have been tumid in the par ly, others as well qualified aa the Uni, who would have gladly received (he appointment, and to whom no exception could l>o taken. Os. But even admitting the appointment to he a lied one, the Governor is not to he hUined for it—the Directors o( the Central Dunk, and mil the Governor make the appointments. F, I have heard that strongly urged, hot it dunl take much, the people have 100 much active to believe that stu-li an appointment would have been m ide without the content and ap/n o hution ot the Governor. And more* , r they ask who ie responsible it the Governor is not 1 Not the Director* of llie Dunk certainly.

Il<r has not returned yet, und il is thought will not Jo so until after the election —notwith- standing his services are and will be very much needed during the distribution.

The Junto have lately got in high spirits, by a report having I reached hero that Mr. Gibson Clark, who hud been heretofore oppose I lo the re-election ol Gov.

I have just seen two gentlemen who are from Gen. Clarke’s county, and they say if h i has changed ihey know nothing about il, & did not believe it. Their editors are directed to co py the offensive article, mid attempt lo a ouse the prejudices of the old Clark men—but it won t do, the thing is too plain. No man of common sense would censure a parly for the sayings or doings of an individual—but they are sinking, they know it, and can be excused for catching ol straws. They have already proscribed (Jen. Glasscock they aay he ahull not receive a nomination from the Union parly next ycar.that if he goes to Con gress the Stale Rights people may send him, that their people shall not. The thing has leaked out, that Gov. Schley wrote to Gen. Glasscock, per suading him to ceaso hi* opposition to the aboli tion petitions and tin ling him slill firm threaten ed or intimated that *hcy would drop him. The different members of the junto arc writing and superintending the movement* in nearly every county of the Statu, and it well belnroves the friend* of civil liberty to guard their movements I am surprised that the Union party submit to lire dictation of such men as Torn the Book maker, Veritable Rhndom or the noted Stale selling Doctor, and their co-worker* about this city.

She was colled in confugated folds around her eggs; which wore evidently undergoing the process of hatching.

We concur in the principle* of the one, and cheerfully subscribe our luilh in the sound and wholesome counsels of the other. In the Constitutionalist of this morning, a lame and impotent attempt is made to defend the ad ministration in il* course against the mercantile interest* of the union. It is asserted that the po* liey of tint administration has not been opposed lo (hat class. We shall endeavor to set this ma ter right,according to our understanding of the his tory of the times. i'he policy of the administration of Gen. Jack , son was against the mercantile interests, as evi deuced in the billowing measures; Ist, Tiro destruction of the U.S. Bank; 3d. The removal oflho depositesj 3d. The importation of the French and Neapo litan indemnities in gold, instead of selling drafts for them to merchants indebted to Europe; Till. The issuing of iho specie circular, by which a large portion of the gold and silver were diverted from the channels of commerce, and lock ed up, like useless lumber, beyond the Alleghany mountains. These acts, together with others of minor im portance, all operating against tire interests of the merchants, naturally drew forth opposition from that class, to llicaulhorsof those measures. The character of General Jackson gave lone and char setei to his whole administration, its presses, and its partisans. Whatever ho did, they praised— whatever he said, they echoed. Enraged at the merchants for daring to question the propriety of hia rpiboval of the deposites, he made the memo rable declaration that none were injured except those who traded on borrowed capital, “all of whom ought lo break." From that period down lathe present lime, as the evidences of opposition lo the administration have been developed among the merchants, so has the administration and its presses attempted to lessen their influence by crippling their business, sud endeavoring to per suade the other classes of society, that the mer cantile interests were opposed to theirs, und that if the merchants prospered it must be ut their ex pense. At the commencement of the recent diffi culties, when the merchants of the cities began to full beneath the pressure, like leaves before the autumnal blast, the Globe, the official organ of Iho administration, declared that there was “nu pres sure which any honest man ought lo regret,’ intimating very plainly that nobody was injured but merchants, who were of no importance to the country. This sentiment was echoed and ro-ech* eed throughout the union by the presses es the parly— the Constitutionalist copied and endors ed the article! So soon as the pressure became general, the Globe changed its tone—admitted its existence, and, in order (o screen the adminis tration front merited censure, charged the mer chants with being the authors of il, by overtrading und speculation! This ehitige, too, was re-echoed hy nil (he parly presses! When the suspension of specie payments took place, and the merchants commenced shipping specie to pay their debts, they were denounced for doing so, and accused of subserviency to foreign ucncc, in opposition lo their own country; and ow they ate denounced by tbe great and almost sainted head of the parly, in bis late letters from the Hermitage, as "mere mottey-ntaking machines, devoid of patriotism,” and deserving “no favors from the government which they have attempted to tiisgrace and ru in, both ot home and abroad!” Wo ask, while all these things were taking place, why did not the Constitutionalist then slop forward so man fully in behalf of the merchants! The cause of the present movement is obvious—the October election is uppioaebing, and a little salving and plastering is necessary. Hence the profession of kind feelings for the merchants on the part of the government. Those who have been so often denounced as aristocrats, and who have suffered years of persecution at the hands of the adminis tration, and against whom it has been attempted to array all other classes, ore now. Just now, a very worthy class, and "deserve" some ‘ favors'’ al the hands of the government! It is insult added lo repeated injury. [roa TIIK CIIHOXICLK ANII SKNTISSL.] Another long rigmarole, in this morning’s Constitutionalist, and about what?

Portrait if real Despotism vs. the unconquer able spirit of Christianity.

The governor, shut up with Uiese thiei: persons, addressed his speech first to tlie mother of Taquenda. “Madam,” said he, "I must render no account to the King, my master, of your son’s disposition, of whom I require no more than exterior complaisance—some I rifling demonstration of respect for our religion; let him, whilst he retains his faith within his own submit but in appearance; this is all I demand; and, if he is dear to you, let your love dictate such salutary advice as his danger calls for.” Ah! without doubt he s dear to me,"replied she,“yea, dearer than my own life, as long as he disgraces not his own by any baseness; lf.it of my affection, this and this only, can be the price.” Here the governor, interrupting her, said, "reflect, madam, that this obstinacy must terminate in Ins death, and that you yourself will be at once the witness and accomplice ofit.” “Then,” said .she,“l shall have hut one wish left; namely, to mingle my blood vilh his, and to participate a gl ,ry which I envy.” “And you, madam,” said the governor, turning himsulf to the wife of Taquenda, “will you entertain this barbarous iuflexibili yl” At these words, Agnes, judging from the severity of the governor’s countenance, that her husband was about to be sent to death, incapable of other an swer, threw herself into her hustiand’s aims, as to bid him a tacit eternal adieu. Thence falling at his knees, and displaying the long flowing tres ses of her hair, she presented him a pair of scis sors, and said “cut off this ornament, no longer of any use to roe; for, should I be refused the happiness of following you I swear, at yoor by your virtues and by my affection, to conse crate the rest of my life to that just, and benefi cent tied, to that supremo being, who is about to crown with glory, immortal as himself, the sacri fice which you arc about to make of your short and fragile existence!” As she finished these words, Taquenda, sensibly aflcctcd, mixed his tears wilh those of his virtuous spouse, and refus ed to accept the sacrifice which she wished to make of her tresses; but Agnes conjured him so ardently to cut them, that ho finally consented. The governor, seeing Taquenda, his wife, and his mother equally softened, judged that it was a crisis favorable to his avowed object of saving them, and, therefore, renewed his solicitations; but he presently knew, by the tranquil and firm resistance of Taquenda, that sensibility had not more softened his heart than courage had fortifi ed it. Taquenda was conducted to execution, his wife and mother accompanying him. Before re ceiving the mortal stroke, ho embraced them ten derly, and delivered his head to the executioner, with a tranquility and resignation equalled only Iby his invincible fortitude. The next day the wife and mother of this illustrious martyr were condemned to death, ami submitted to their suf ferings with that heroism of which Taquenda had given them the example.

M. D. WILLIAMS, Sec’y.” Extract from the Report of the Special Com mittee of investigation on the affairs of the Uni versity, of which committee the lute Gov. Gaylk was chairman, and wluctt report has been adopted ami published by the Board oi Trustees: “These disturbances, which have rellected so much discredit upon the University, and still more upon those who produced them, can, in no wise, be attributed to tire Faculty. On the contrary, iu the opinion of lire Committee, they adopted the best means to prevent them; and alter their occur rence, pursued the moot prudent course to sup press them. Tire Committee cannot too much admire the firmness which characterized die con duct Ol the Faculty, through the whole of these disgraceful riotss—nor can they withhold the ex pression of their approbation, at the forbearance with which they received the insults abuse and open assault* of these young men, who, without • any adequate cause, have afillcted a deep and last ing wound on an Institution which is the fondest hope of the parent and the proudest boast of tire country. “After the most diligent inquiry, the Commit tee are gratified at being able to state that (he President of the University, and the learned Pro fessors with whom he is associated, since the last meeting of the Hoard, have discharged their ar duous duties, with uureimited zeal and industry, and in a manner altogether satisfactory to the Committee. The ability with which they have executed their ullicial duties; their efforts to up hold the government of the University, during the late disturbances; to execute its laws; and to maintain tire discipline which those laws were en acted to establish, entitle them to great credit, and cannot fall to call forth the approbation of toe public generally, and especially of that portion which looks to the Institution as the great nur sery of science, literature arid virtue, which is to qualify our sous to be useful citizens, and to send I forth hands of young men, whose genius and at tainments will make the Slate rejoice to acknowl edge them as her law-givers, and her rulers.” JOHN GAYLE, Chairman of Com. of Investigation.

Banks should he held, for the purpose of agreeing on the time when specie payments should be ra- j sumed, and on the measures necessary to effect 1 that purpose,” Having been appointed a Committe in con-) formity with that resolution, we beg leave to call j your attention to thc[importanl|sul’jcct to which it j refers. The suspension of specie payments was forced upon the Banks, immediately by a panic and by causes not under their control, remotely by the unfortunate co-incidence of extraordinary events and incidents, the ultimate result of which was anticipated neither by Government nor by any part ol the community. But it is nevertheless undeniable, that by acce“.. ling their charters, the Banks had contracted the obliga iuns of redeeming their issues al all limes, and under any circumstances whatever: 'hat they have not been hole to perform that engagemement; M and fuat a depreciated paper, different in value , I in different places, and subject to daily fluctua tions in the same place, has thus been substituted for the currency, equivalent to gold and silver, I which and no other, they were authorised, and , had the exclusive right to issue. Such a slate of things can not and ought not , to be tolerated any longer than absolute necessity requires it. We are very certain that you unite with us in the opinion that it is the paramount I ami most sacred duty of the Banks to exert every , effirt, to adopt every measure within their power, I which may promote and accelerate the desired re sult, and that they must be prepared to resume 1 specie payments within the shortest possible no s lice whenever a favorable alteration shall occur in j the rate of foreign exchanges. We arc quite aware of the difficulties which j. must be surmounted, and the impropriety of any premature attempt. No Banking system could ’ indeed be tolerated,which was notable to wilh . stand the ordinary and unavoidable fluctalions of exchange. But the difference is great between continuing and resuming specie payments; and r we do not believe, that the Banks in the U. Stales : can, without running the imminent danger of an other speedy and fatal catastrophe, resume such [ payments, before the foreign debt shall have been so far lessened or adjusted, as to reduce the rale of exchange to true specie pat, and the risk of an i immediate exportation of the precious metals shall . have thus been removed. t The appearances in that respect have become more flattering; and it is not improbable that the expected change may take place shortly after the ' next crop of our principle article of export shall • begin to operate. Yet we are sensible that we , must not rely on conjectures; and that the banks cannot designate the lime when they may resume, before the ability to sustain specie payments shall have been ascertained by the actual reduction in the rale of the exchange, i But even when the apprehension of a foreign , drain of specie shall have ceased, the great object 1 in view cannot be effected without a consent of ' the Banks in the several sections of the Union, i Those of this city had the misfortune to he, with few exceptions, the first that were compelled to declare their inability to sustain for the lime spe cie payments. It appears that it became absol ■ utcly necessary for the other banks to pursue the same course ; and it would be likewis** impracti cable for those of any particular section to resume without a general explanation of at least the prin cipal banks of the greater part of the country. A mutual and free communication of their respect ive situations, prospects, and opinions, seems to be a necessary preliminary step to be followed by a convention at such time and place as may be agreed upon. 1 As relates to the Banks of this city, we a re of opinion, that provided the co-operation of the oth er Banks is obtained, they may and ought to, we should perhaps say, that they must resume specie 1 payments before next spring, or to be more pre ! cise, between the first of January and the middle . ol March, 1838. Both the lime and place of meeting in conven tion, must of course bo determined in conformity with the general wishes of the Banks. In order to bring the subject in a definite shape before you, we merely suggest the latter end of October as the proper time, and this city as the most elli gible place for the proposed Convention. A sufficient lime will then have elapsed, to en able us to judge of the measures which Congress may adopt in reference to the subject. Wbatcv or may be its action on the currency, the duty of resuming remains the same and must be perform ed by the Banks. If any thing indeed, can po ducc an effect favorable to their views, it will be the knowledge of their being sincerely and earn estly engaged in effecting that purpose. An car ■ ly indication of the determination of the Banks will have a beneficial influence by making them all aware of the necessity of adopting the requis ite preliminary measures ; and the information is also due to all the varied interests of the country. We address this letter to no other Bank in your city or Slate than those herein designated ; and we pray you to collect and ascertain the opinions of the others arid to communicate the general re sult as early as practicable.

We have been favored by a commercial house of this city with the following extract of a letter dated St. Bartholomews, 4th August, 1837, by which it would appeal that the hurricane at St. Thomas has extended through a large number of the West India Islands; “My dear sirs—We arc here in the midst of distress and devastation. On the day before yes terday, the 2d, was experienced one of the most severe storms ever known in this island. Our tow n, composed of about 300 houses, is two thirds destroyed—among them some of ihe most substantial buildings, dwellings and stores: the greater number the dwellings of the poor. As yet between twenty and thirty lives only have been discovered to have been lost in the town, most of them crushed to death under the ruins, and others horribly mutilated, and since dead, and very many others severely injured, wilh bro ken bones, &c. Hundreds have lost all they possessed, and are thrown destitute upon the charity of others. The sea, during the gale, had unprecedently, risen over six feet. “Distantly situated, as we are, from the mother country, some lime must el pse before rcliefis af forded from that quarter to the poor. The hearts of your countrymen are over open to assist the distressed, and I have no doubt, if an appeal were made to them, but that they would do something for the relief of those among us who are really destitute of any earthly, not comfort, buij even common necessaries, and as the vegetation has been entirely destroyed, will be, for months hence, deplorably in want. Here wo do all we can to assist each other. I leave these observations with you—use them as your own feeling minds may suggest—if successful, the gratitude of a distres sed people will be your reward. The other is lands have no doubt equally suffered. We have not yet heard from any except St. Mar, ins there it has also been severe, though not to the same extent of damage as to this.” Wc trust that those who, under our own pe cuniary embarrassments, have anything left will throw in their mile in behalf of those who have ■uttered by this terrible affliction. We all rccol lect how like “the gentle dews from heaven” the charity of New York opportunely came a year or two since in behalf of the starved inhabitants of the western islands. From Ihe N. Y.

Ing has transpired to break the dullness that I reigns in that neighborhood. The little exette- I ment attending the sailing of the packets has alt I died away. Specie remains firm at yesterday s 1 quotations, Until next packet day, the market ■ will doubtless continue inactive, I reasury drafts have advanced I percent. The sales of stock are very light and varied but little from jester- Jay’s prices. The packets have carried out a considerable amount of specie os follows: — To Liverpool, nearly 5200,000 Havre, 100,000 5300,000 The banks—particularly the Bank oi America —have commenced, in good earnest, to curtail their discounts. The Bank ofNew \crli and the Phoenix discount short paper freely. The attention of all is turned to the meeting I of Congress, in expectation of relief from that quarter. A thousand different ideas exist as to the probable doings of that hotly The resumption of specie payments by the banks throughout the country, wdl occupy the first attention of Congress. The method to bring about that desirable object, is now the all-engros sing theme. Something to stop the large expor tations of specie by every packet that leaves this port for Europe. Something to redeem both our foreign and domestic exchanges from the horrible plight they are now in. That something will only be found in a National Bank, upon the fol lowing plan. For Congress to charter a bank with a capital of fifty millions—let the Secretary ol the Treasu ry issue government stock lo the amount of twen ty millions, bearing interest at 6 per cent, and re deemable in 1845. This to be transferred to the bank for the same amount in its slock. When the government slock becomes due, the Secretary of the Treasury would sell the bank stock in time to redeem it. This government stock can he remitted to Eu rope which will turn the balance of exchange in our favor. This done the further exportation of specie is most effectually stopped. Now let us look at the benefits of all this. The foreign de mand for pecio has ceased. Foreign exchanges arc brought down lo their original par value, do mestic exchanges will become regulated, our importation of specie will still continue. All this done, anil every solvent bank thoughout the Un ino can resume specie payments within sixty days. From the many statements that have reached us from the north, south and west, a great number of the banks appear to be in a situation to resume specie payments the moment the banks oflheat lanlic cities lead the way, or as soon as the de mand for specie is confined to this country. Should such a bank be chartered by the next session of congress, this city must be the head quarters for such and stUution, The west has al ready commenced petitioning for it. The derang ed state of the country demands that the Nation al hank should be located in this city. Although Philadelphia has been the seat of that insitution, yet New York has been looked loas the criterion of the money market —New Fork is the city that circumstances point out for suclt an institu tion. From Ike N. Y. Commercial Adv. August 25. Wau. street. — One o'clock —There is hut veiy little change in the appearance of the stock market since yesterday. United Stales Bank closed at an improvement of 4 per cent. Prices generally, however, have a downward tendency. The cause of this is not any distrust as to the value of the different stocks, or greater tightness in the money market, but it arises merely from the fact that as business becomes brisk, more cap ital is invested in that way and less is offered for the purchase of stocks. On the other hand, hol ders are obliged to sell at low prices to meet their engagements.
