The counsel for the prisoner, in their argument, contended that the law to punish offences of this charicter had expired with the charter of the bank on the 3d of March last. The jury found a special verdict 'guilty,' provided, &c, leaving the point of to be decided by the judge, the question raised having "been argued before the Court, judge Caldwell decided that the law was no longer in force and rendered judgement on the verdict accordir.zlr. in favor of the prisoner. Hinges' counsel then catered a general demurrer to the other indictoents, which being sustained by the court, tne prisoner was discharged. He was, however, sub sequently arrested under State authority, for counterfeiting notes on several of the Virginia banks, and will be removed for trial to Logan county where the offences are alleged to have been committed."

The doctor "rned home wrapped the sick man up in blan-

He remained there until the afternoon, when he was removed by a Mr. Potter to an uninhabited house in the field he remained there unattended, until about midnight, when he was found in the rain, hanging about the well sweep, and afflicted with intolerable thirst. Need we add, he soon died: having received much les attention from the Aiimane offirers of the town of Foster, than a dumb bcaet would be entitled to at the hands of a master.

Resolutions were passed requesting Congress to permit all newspapers and periodicals to be circulated in tne county in which they are published free of postage, to place periodicals on the same footing as newspapers, to transmit legislative documents, periodicals, and magazines to publishers free of postage. 07-The Editor of the Newcastle Banner, published in Henry county, of this State, in his paper of the iith mst. says: "Atmeiasi rresiuenum contest, we supported the Flection of Gen. An drew Jackson to the Presidency, upon ttie principles of Republicanism, we now support the election of Wan. II. Harrison upon the same principles' There is some consistency in this course. No man can say that he supports Van Buren upon principles of Republicanism or national policy. The Louisville Journal says: "General Ma comb has returned to Washington from hi6 Southern excursion.

Latest From Mexico. A letter, under date of Tainpico, May 17th, received by the schooner Atlantico, arrived this morning, states that news of the capture of Santa Anna &; his officers had reached there via Matamoras. The report was that himself and his officers had been shot by the Texians. This, as it might be expected, caused great deal of excitement against all foreigners, who, apprehending serious results from an infuriated mob. waited on the commandant, who assured M em that he had taken measures to suppress any breuch ol the peace. An English sloop of war off Tampieo, on the eve of sailing, had been requested by the British Consul to postpone her departure for a few days. A postcript to a letter of the 16th, represents that order had been restored. A respectable commercial house of this city received this morning a letter from Tampieo, bearing the same date as the preceding one, announcing that an extraordinary courier arrived there, with the intelligence of the capture of Santa Anna, and the defeat of one division of his army. The four other divisions, commanded by Urrea, Goan, Filisola and tesma, were marching on the texians. These four divisions amount to six thousand men. It is further stated that an additional force of 4000 troops were to leave San Louis, to join the forces already in Texas. Courur. Qi'ken or Napi.es. Shortly after marriage, being seated at a piano, the King entered the room, when the queen rose up out of compliment, on which he desired herto be seated, and pretended to hold the chair for her while she sat down, but drew it away, which caused her to fall on the floor a practicable piece of liveliness inexcusably gross for a king of the punchinello Neapolitans, and setting aside the gross vulgarity of the insult, evincing an utter want of respect. On getting up, she exclaimed, "Pray, sir, where did you receive your education!" and left the room. This was notori ously known, and severely commented on in Na ples.

POI.ITECS OF TIIE DAY. CEX. HARRISON'S LETTER, In reply to the Hon. Sherrod Jniliams, member of Congress from Kentucky . North Bknd, May 1, 1836. Sin: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of jour letter of the 7th ultimo, in w hich you request me to answer the following questions: 1st. "Will you, (if elected President of the U. States ) sign and approve a bill distributing the surplus revenue of the United States to each ritate, according to the federal population of each, for internal improvement, education, and to such other objects as the Legislatures of the several Stntes may see fit to apply the same?" 2d. "Will you sign und approve a bill distributing the proceeds of the sales of the public lands to each State, according to tlie federal population of each, for the purposes above specified!" I'd. "Will you sign and approve bills making appropriations to improve navigable streams above ports of entry!" 4th. "Will you sign and approve (if it becomes necessary to secure and save from deprecation the revenue and finances of the nation, and to afford a uniform sound currency to the People ot the United States) a bill, (with proper modifications and restrictions.) chartering a Bank of the United States!" oth. "What is your opinion as to the constitutional power of the Senate or House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, to expunge or obliterate from tie journals the records and proceedings of a previous session!" "Fromjhc manner in which the four first questions are stated, it appears that you do not ask my opinion as to the policy or propriety of the measures to which they respectively refer; but w hat would be my course, if they were presented to me (being in the Presidential chair of the United States) in the shape of bills, that had been duly passed by thu Senate and House of Rcpresentaf i v-

From the opinion which I have formed of the intention of the Constitution, as to tlie cases ii which the veto power should be exercised by the President, I would have contented myself with giving an affirmative answer to the four first questions, but, from the deep interest w hich has been, and indeed is now, felt in relation to all these subjects, I think it proper to express my views upon each one separately'. I answer, ihen, 1st. That the immediate return of all the surplus money which is, or ought to be in the I reastiry ol the United States, to the possession of the People, from whom it was taken, is called for by every principle of policy, and, indeed, of safety to our institutions, and 1 know of no mode of doing it better than that recommended by tlie present Chief Magistrate, in his first annual messace to Concress, in the follow ing words: "To avoid these evils, it appears to me that the most safe, lust, and federal disposition which could be made of the surplus revenue, would be its apportionment among the sever al States, according to the ratio of represen tation." This proposition has reference to a state ofi tilings w hich now actually exists, wmi ine exception of the amount of money thus to be disposed of for it could not have been anti cipated bv the President that the surplus a hove the "real wants or convenient expend! tuies of the Government would become so large, as that retaining it in the 1 reasury Id so much diminish the circulating meilium o c crroi tW- fo embarrass the business ofi uiiiiii - c" V the country. What other disposition can he made of it w ith a view to get it into immediate circulation but to place it in the hands of the State authorities? So great is the amount, and so rapidly is it increasing, that it could not be expended for a very considerable time on (he comparative few objects to which it could be appropriated by the General Government; but the desired distribution amongst the People could be immediately effected by the States, from the infinite variety of ways in which it might be employed by them. Br them it might be loaned to their own bankin"1 institutions, or even to individuals a mode of distribution by the General Government which I sincerciy hope is in the contemplation of no friend to his country. 2d. Whilst I have always broadly admitted that the public lands were the common property of all the States, I have been nrio nf that mode of disposing of them which would create the greatest number of freeholders, and I conceive that in tins way the interest of all would be as w ell secured as by anyother disposition; but since, by the small size of the tracts in which the lands arc now laid out, and the reduction of the price, this desirable situation is usually attainable bv anv person of tolerable industry, I am perfectly reconciled to the distribution of the nmn'rrl.s of the sales as provided for by the bill introduced into the Senate by Mr. Clay; the interest of all seem to be well provided for by this bill; and as from the opposition which has hitherto been made to the disposition of the lands hitherto contemplated by the representatives of the new States, there is no probability of its being adopted,! think it ought no longer to be insisted on. 3d. As 1 believe that no money should be taken from the Treasury of the U. Slates to be expended on internal improvements, but for those which are strictly national, the answer to this question would be easy, but iorj the difficulty of determining which of those that are from lima- prrosed would be of lh; j des. npti..n.

propriations of this kind, and the jealousies which it will no doubt continue to produce if persisted in, give additional claims (o the mode of appropriating all the surplus revenue of the United States in the manner above suggested. Each State will then have the means of accomplishing its own schemes of internal improvement. Still there will be particular cases when a contemplated improvement will be of greater advantage to (he Union generally, and some particular States, than to that in which it is to be made. In such cases, as well as those in the new States, w here the value of the public domain will be greatly enhanced by an improvement in the means of communication, the general government should certainly largely contribute. To appropriations of the latter character (here has been no very warm opposition. Upon the whole, the distribution of the public revenue amongst the Slates seems likely to remove most, if not all, the causes of dis

sension of which the infernal improvement system has been the fruitful source. There is nothing, in my opinion, more sacredly incumbent upon those w ho are concerned in (he administration of our Government than that of preserving harmony between the States. From the construction of our system (here has been, and probably ever will be. more or less jealousy between (he t.eneral and State Governments; but (here is nothing in the Constitution nothing in the character of the relations which the States bear to each other which can create any unfriendly feel ing, if the common guardian administers Us favors w ith an even and impartial hand. That this may be the case, all those to whom my portion of delicate power is intrusted, should always act upon the principles of for bearance and conciliation; evermore ready to sacrifice the interest of their immediate constituents, rather than vidate the rights of the other members of the family. Those who pursue a different course, whose rule, is never to stop short of the attainment of all which they may consider their due, w ill often be found to have trespassed upon the boundary they had lhemsclves3established. The observations with which I shall conclude this letter on the subject of the veto power by the President will apply to this as well as your other questions. 4th. I have before me a newspaper, in which I am designated by4its distinguished editor, "The Bank and Federal Candidate.'''' I think it would puzzle the writer to adduce any act of my life which warrants him in identifying me w i(hvthe interests of the first, or the politics of the latter. Having no means of ascertaining the sentiments of the directors and stockholders of the Dank of the United, States (which is the one, I presume, w ith which it was intended o associate me) 1 cannot say w hat their course is likely to be in relation to the ensuing election for President. Should they, however, give me their support.il will be cvidcnce.at least that the opposition which I gave to their institution in my capacity of representative from Ohio, in Congress, proceeded, in their opinion, from a sense of duty which I could not disregard. The journals of the second session of the thirteenth, and those of the fourteenth Congress, w ill show that my votes are recorded against them upon every question in which their interest w as involved. I did, indeed, exert mvself in the Senate of Ohio to procure a repeal of the law which had imposed an enormous tax upon the branches which had been located in its boundaries nt the re quest of its citizens. The ground 01 tnese exertions was not the it.tercst of (he Bankbut to save what I considered the honor ol tne State, and to prevent a controversy between the State officers and tliose 01 tne cuaicu States. , , , , In the spring of 1834 I had also the honor to preside at a meeting of the citizens of Hamilton county, called for the purpose of expressing their sentiments in relation to the removal of the public money from the custody of the Bank bv the sole authority of the Executive. As President of the meeting, 1 explained at some length the object for which it was convened; but I advanced no opinion in relation to the re-chartenng of the Bank. A most respectful memorial to the 1 resident in relation to the removal of the deposites, was adopted, as were also resolutions in favor of rechartering the Bank: but, as I have already said, this was not the purpose for which the meeting was called, and not one upon which, as presiding officer, I was called upon to give an opinion, but in the event of an equal division of the votes. As a private citizen, no man can be moreentirely clear of any motive, either for rechartering the old institution, or creating new one, under the authority of the United St ates. I never had a single share in the former, nor indeed in any bank, with one single exception; and that many years ago failed, with the loss of the entire stock. 1 have no inclination again to venture in that way,eyen if I ever should possess the means. W ith the exception above mentioned, of stock in. a bank long since broken. 1 never put out a dollar at interest in my life. My interest being entirely identified with the cultivation of the soil, am immediately and personally connected with none other. 1 have made this statement to show you ,hat I am not committed to any course in re-i-t.s,,n to the chartering of a Bar.k cf tbo V, .
