THE PUBLIC VEPOSITES. When we commenced the publication of the Ameri
can, we gave a short sketch of the course we intended to pursue, and remarked, that, "all political intelli
gence should he freely inserted, and when necessary
nrrompauicd bn ova views, given in candor." We
never have been afraid to speak our sentiments, anc;
t t in Heaven, we never will. It is a right every free
!:. eijovs. We are not that irc.i.V, fne rile, milk and
t i t .- concern, called "A NEUTRAL," in all things
We know our rights, and knowing dare maintain them In all great and leading questions, we esteem it in
cumbent to animadvert upon doctrines inconsistent with
our views of political economy. It is what we have here
tofore promised. We hope those who entertain a dif
ferent opinion from us, will consider us sincere and candid in our sentiments, and therefore our duty, as
an editor, to express them. Oour columns are open to
those who entertain a different opinion. W e should
like to hear from them.
In the preceding columns of to-day's paper, will be
found the Manifesto of Andrew Jackson, in favor of
the removal of the public deposites from the Bank of
the United States. It is an uncalled for and tyranni
cal act; a violation of nearly the last act of the 22d
Congress; setting at defiance the will of the great ma
jority of the people, as expressed through their repre
sentatives, and, in opposition to the wishes of Mr
Duane, late the efficient, able and patriotic Secretary of the Treisury, who alone was vested with the au
thority of removal. It is a lengthy document by no means invulnera
ble. We are almost surprised, after such high-hand
ed measures and strenuous objections have been urged
against the United States Dank, that its enemies, its implacable enemies, satisfied with nothing short of total annihilation should build inveterate hostility, on
flimsy and imaginary foundations. It is unworthy
the tact and genius of its reputed author; it is a tissue
of fallacious imaginings, and youthful declamation ! and abounds in the most eggregious errors in matters of fact. It is contradictory, and the reasons will
"vanish into thin air," when examined by the impartial and unprejudiced: it is well calculated to mislead
an honest and confiding people, and is a gull trap for
the ignorant and illiterate being a repetition of old
worn out stories, new-vamped, with a few additions which are not true gathered tip from the syren songs
and adulations of hireling editors. Every reader of
the leading Jackson journals will discover this, by re
ference to the files of those papers, for the last two or
three years. And we feel confident, every man, upon a close examination of the document presented, will agree with us, and declare that it is contradictory .that it is a feeble production, and abounding in malevolence ! It does not well become us to dissect the misnomer in all its ramifications. Were it bearing the signature ef any other person than Andrew Jackson, President of the United Ststes, we would apply the lash, and demonstrate by the most clear and conclusive rcasoning,the truly ludicrous spect icle it would make,when confronted by f.icts, and sober, ungarnished truth. We have examined the document carefully, ane perceive not whereon to lay the mantle of charity, or resrtain from exposing its high tainted misrepresentations. The great argument, on which the President predicates his hostility, and disregards the highest legislative tribunal of our country, is founded in this simple, juvenile saying " The President considers
1113 rV-rH tUUII, aa a ului?1vii ,-i 111,- ti ; I net Rank," and by this act they literally avowed hostility, as his determinations were known previous to the election, &:c. Did the question of who shall be our next President, bear upon the Hank! We appeal to the sound sense of the Jackson party, if they supported his re-election upon the Benk principle! Almost one simultaneous and universal negative will resound from one extremity of the Union to the other. The United States Bank, though an essential essence of the elementary principles of Liberty, was lost sight of in the maze of conflicting opinions. Although we feel proud in being able to say, that high party zeal, and bitter personal animosities, swang from their moorings, and when danger was apprehended, one long, loud shout of "Save, save the 1;mo," was sounded, and reverberated and re-echoed on mountain tops, and wafted on sylvan gales throughout on;- peaceful, mild, and highly cultivated vallics. Noble, magnanimous and patriotic, indeed, are the reigning feelings of the Am
erican bosom; and in all emergencies, the effects of
second
maue to rr
pies. Another mighty effort was made by the Ins and
Outs these with their hired minions, made their due share of political commotion the Bank, in common with all other political Vnrrr, were inveigled, directly and indirectly in the jnad contest. By this portion cf the party, the finer feelings of the heart were obliterated bv madnino- zeal while human nature's baser passions, were unfurled, trumpct-tongued, tosound the tocsin, and light the beacon fiufgot, to clear the van forthe machinations of political freebooters. But, are American freemen to be gulled out of their votes, by a single, solitary policy in the administration of General Jackson! No! 'tis base adsurdity; to suppose this is next to sacrilege we are a moral, virtuous, and t'nIrfligcnt people. Admitting this irresistible argument f the President, what would it prove why, that in sections of the Union where he was almost UNANIMOUSLY supported, the persecuted Bank ofthc I ni-
ted States is MOST POPUI.A It ! In old Pennsy Ivani&, for instance, where Jackson received THREE otes,tothe opposition, Mr. Ci.ay and Mr. Wirt, united, receiving TWO, the United States Bank received a unanimous vote for re-charter! This one evidence of the 6ense of the Pcoj le, and the Presidential
dary causes are forgotten, and one general effort to preserve and re-instate fundamental princi-
Eleetion turning on ih's single pivot, is sufficient to convince every reflecting man of the mischievous and base absurdity of the hostility of the people being arrayed against the Bank. Were the absurdities of the Manifesto to stop here in its bright hallucination of mistatements, and assumptions of power, never granted, we would cease
Ito wonder. But here is another statement, which
would m the golden days of Roman virtue and intelligence, have 6unk the Capitol and deluged our happy and comparatively prosperous country, in the blood of her sons. " (Andrew Jackson) take the rrsponsibility." "It was an oversight of Congress." Such language as this was never before uttered by an American President! Could the assembled intelligence of the worthies and honorables of the Union one and all, collectively, be blinder than Andrew Jackson, now bordering on three score and ten? The mere supposition is irrational. Did supporters of Jackson confer and guarantee powers, by the elective franchise, to
him greater than the Congress of the United States!
Was he delegated to set at defiance what Congrcs
decreed should be the Supreme law of the land! when it is declared in glittering capitals in our immaculate Constitution, that Congress is the highest and tiltimate tribunal. Can these things be overlooked. Thus he disregards and sets at defiance the expressed will of the people, and which, too, infringes deeply upon his oath
of office. Doing this in the consciousness of violating
the LA TVS of the PEOPLE, is tyrannical, indeed
It is a manifestation of moral turpitude never'before
exhibited, and for the sake of civil and religious free
dom, we hope such highanded measures may never be
usurped again.
Another unpardonable sin in the President's eye,
is the tact ot the Uank in calling m requisition its
own funds to circulate correct information concerning
the operations of its business. We would ask, was his
hired presses still, when objections were urged against his re-election? Would any max suffer ji reputation and insinuation against his character, to be published from one corner of the Union to the other, without
auopnng some means 10 re pel tno charges: uouid a
corporate body, where hundreds of our most valuable citizen's characters, and millions of dollars are at
stake, passively submit to insult heaped upon injury
and dander backed by calumny, without adopting mea
sures to repel them! If the Jackson presses had re
mained silent; if an individual would remain quiet,
with slanders heaped upon them, then the United
States Bank has committed error in paying to have slander refuted. This is the only principle upon which the tirade of the President can be admitted. All men, particularly corporate bodies, have an unalienable right to employ any and every means to refute slander
and repel calumny. These are rights secured us by
the Constitution and having such an immutable foun
dation, Who ana what would shrink Irom meeting ru
inous charges through the influence of equivalent ma
chinery! This is the acknowledged law of Nations
it is the first law of nature. The Report of the Honor
able Mr. Clayton was printed at the expense of the
whole people of the United States; both friends and
enemies of the Bank assisted in paying for that publication. Then had not the Bank nn unquestionable
right to publish and circulate the irrefi agible and immu
table truths contained in the Report of Messrs. Adams
end Watmough, the gentlemen who constituted the minority of the Committee, and whose nble and conclu
sive reasoning, dispersed every doubt heretofore crea
ted by sycophants and hireling presses. If these rea
sons are not sufficient to convince every man of the

whose husbands and fathers were lost in the battle
field during the l ist war, and whose daily existence, as
t were, depends upon liberal dividends, the amount
of whose stock, at the highest possible premium, is scarcely adequate to the sustenance of life.
There are many other abominable and detestable
features in the Manifesto, which we will pass by with
out serious refutation. Upon the whole, it appears
hat it has been the determination of the President
and his advisers, ere the duties of Chief Magistrate devolved upon him, to destroy the United States Bank. Their wishes are now about baing realised, as many deposites were contemplated to be made in the State
Banks, during the present month. It is declared up
on unequivocal terms that it shall not be re-chartered.
consequently its business must close about the first of
pril, 1336. Upwards of THIRTY MILLIONS of
Dollars will, in the course of two years and a half, be
drawn from the Western States, and at least ONE
MILLION AND A HALF of that sum must come
from the State of Indiana. Should the Bank be-uioo polled to gradually call in its debts, or let them romain
until the lastdav of its existence,is an immaterial mat
ter with the majority of its debtors. Ruin stares them
n the face in cither event. The deed is done; let those
who have planned its destruction now devise a substi
tute. Depression of property of every description is the concomitant, of this rash step. " Andrew Jack
son, am responsible for the ruin of thousands, and am
the saviour of the morals of the people!" Is this, we
ask in Heaven's name, the language of a President of
four-and-twenty free and sovereign states, or the decree of a Dictator and usurper, of as many states, with a servile and miscreant population!
We must now dismiss the subject, though reluctant
ly, for want of room. Our readers are deprived of the usual variety of news yet we have no apology to of
fer, as the insertion of the article will enable every one
to form a deliberate and unbiassed opinion for himself.
We shall next week, perhaps, give a sketch of public
sentiment, as recorded by our cotemporaries.

Another change. We perceive by the last Western Statesman that D. S. 3Iajor, Esq. has disposed of his interest in the establishment to John R. Smith, who promises, as is usual on such occasions, to improve and regularly furnish his patrons with the news of the day. 'Tig strange to abserve the frequent changes in this establishment; and were we disposed, we coulfl prophecy of forthcoming events, not however without precedent in the annals of the Newspaper press.
Molasses from Potatoes. We observe it noticed in the Cleveland Advertiser, that Molasses have been manufactured from potatoes in Medina County, Ohio. From one bushel and three pecks of potatoes, eleven
quirts of good thick molasses; of pleasant flavor, equal

FOREIGN NEWS. At our latest advices Ireland remained tranquil
The martial law, Famine, and oppression have quelled the ogitators, and they peaceably submit to the oppres
sions of 'a mere remnant of mortality.' ' O, righteous Heaven! ere freedom finds a grave, Send forth thy sword Omniptotent, to save.' The Cholera still linners in London.
The bill for the Abolition of Colonial Slavery has passed both Houses, and only wants the Royal signa
ture to become a law.
The Cholera is making the most appalling ravages
in South America. In the City of Mexico, it is sr.id,
that 2,000 died in one day! At Tampico, the Cholera
has been succeeded by the yellow fever, so that but
few will be left to tell the tale of its desolation.
