It gratifies us to see that the Hon. Thomas II. Blake, will not suffer the Van Buren party of this State, to make a tool of him for the purpose of gratifying their party feelings.

Who can fail to envy the fel'ings of this Sage nnd Pal riot! who can see nothing in the f pen and mtiily opposition to his measures, but the ell irts of exintperated factions, nnd the schemes of traitors to the con titution nnd tha country.

The Voice of the people, nf such as I hope to tmbrace once more in Cincinnati, gave strength to those prominent measures. WITHOUT their eovertign support, these appeals would have been ns frail as the paper on which they were written, and would have been torn to pieces by the exasperated factions who have labored to (Under the Union, and subvert the principles of the Constitution itself, to reach that summit of power from which they are excluded by public opinion. 1 shdl have to be governed by the tnte of my health, which I hope will improve, before reaching Cincinnati; however I will inform you by a letter, while on my journey when you may expect me.

Respectfully jour friend and fellow citizen ANDREW JACkSON. To Messrs. Was. B. Dorre, Ch'mn, and .others, Committee of Invitation. THE SOUTHERN MARKET. Ntw Orleans, March 23. Gentlemen: I have been here for th last eicht dys. On mv arrivrl I found tmj thiog in commotion--

merchants failing daily, and the city

i afill in that Stale. Several failures hare taken place for millions of dollars. It is supposed that all the colton houses, well as many other business houses, must fall: the distress is beyond description. However, up country produce is doing better, under J the circumstances, than could have been expected. The arrivals are ' modaerate, and a part of what does hich is calrel; Whiskey 3G cents per gallon. ! These prices will save those that pur-j chased prudently, and a squeezing business. Beef is doing better than ' any article in the provision line; say for mess 15, is readily obtained, and ! lt for prime. The eilicle is scarce. The above was addressed to the Editors by one of our most intelligent merchants, and may be relied ouj , , j Gen. Jackson appear s unwilling to 'est in his retirement. He his pub1 lished a card in one of the Nashville u , ,. ,. ... . .. I papers, contradicting 111 his u-u il d:s j 0rtcou3 manner. ltiat p;vrt cf the testimony of Judge White before the Uomunltee ol invt'Stigaiion last w in ter, which relates to his overtures to 1 I.

Vite I'residencv . lie fl--is no evidence but his simple assertion, (o disprove what was stated by Judge White under the solemn sanction tl an oam. lie promises, as soon as n? can see the report in full ti UKJudge's testimony, to demolish him in loto. The Louisville Journal re waiks that it is rather cuiicus ttiat he should have heard nothing of this charge, which has now go tjiiickl) stirred up his bile, until, as he remarks in tits card, it was pointed out to him by one of his liici dr, sivce his return to the Hermitage. It is evident from this, that I U keepers at Washington kopt l!;is Ircm his know I edge, lest it shou'd cause seine fuii ous explosion of rage which would make his weakness nnd imbecility more public and disgraceful. iN w that he has returned to private life, when his fl itterers will find it no Ion ger their interest to deceive ard mis lead him, he will hear many things of which he has been kept in ignorance, by those who surrounded him at Washington, and w ho pandered to his passions while they ministered to their own interests hy keeping fu;m his knowledge every thing which could obstruct their designs, or shake his confidence in them. When he no long-r views the wi s uresof his a Jministratiou through the medium of partiality for his parasites, or of hatred to his po ttical oppo nents, he will regard their tendency with astonishment and rcsret, and the consciousness that he cannot res train the progress oT the ball which he set in motion, nnd the recollection of his bting the willing insliunKiit of . iiioui dim ut:imiij, viu iiuu keener pang, to the repentance, which will embitter his last day s. Republican Banner. The Van Buren papers account for the present commercial distress, und secure their leaders from nil agency in producing it, by the simple argu ment, that the people have overtraded themselves, ind why they ovinia ded themselves ? liecau-e the party, when they destroyed the United States Dank, created something near an hundred Banks in its stead, and threw millions upon millions of paper money into circulation, thus tllering facilities for the most desperate and ruinous speculations. And now, "when the day of calamity cometh," Mr. Van Buren and his friends, bypersuading Gen Jackson to pocket the Currency bill, and by refusing to rescind the Treasury Specie Circu lar, refuse any relief (o the men of whose ruin they are the sole cause, nnd after they have reduced them to abject beggary, insult them by charg ing them with having overtraded themselves. liepublican Banner. It is stated in Bicknell's riiiladel. phia Reporter, that the banks of that city do not now receive on deposite the notes of New York and Baltimore banks. This arrangement may prove sometimes inconvenient in its opera, tions upon individuals, but cannot have much effect, for good or evil, on the banks of New York and Baltimore.

Very late advices are received from England, The money market there is in as bad a stale, nearly, as the money market here; and as a nat ural consequence, the price of our great staple commodity -cotton has declined, and is dull of sale. It is a little curious, that the origin of this embarrassment in England is traced to Gen. Jackson's experiment lo in troduce a specie currency into this country. So large a quantity of the precious metals has been drawn from that quarter for the purpose, as to create apprehensions there, and thus produce to scarcity of money which is now fait.
