Ever since Dr. Canby assumed the duties of Receiver of. public monies at Crawfordsville, ha has been pursued with the most unrelenting and violent abuse and persscution. Mr. Whitlock, the person who held the office previous to the appoint- ' mehtof Dr. Canby, commenced an unjustifiable warfare upon the Doctor so soon as ho arrived at Crawfordsville, and it was with much difficulty tint he could bo bro't ' to surrender the keys' of office, which he hid held so long, that he seemed to suppose they were his forever. From that time until tli3 present, every evil insinuation that malignity could devise, or ingenuity invent, has been cast upon the official character of Dr. Canby. The most graceless slanders have been whispered over the country, by certain notorious slanderers resident at Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, and elsewhere.- A prophecy of defalcation, and a charge of the use of the funds of the office fur individual account, together with sundry minor charges, were freely circulated. At length Mr. Whitlock and his fellow laborers against the reputation of the Doctor, summoned sufficient fortitude to make formal charges of mal conduct in office, against him, ; and substantiated the feasibility of those charges by all the solemnities of oaths and asseverations of the truth of the charges. Upon these seemingly well substantiated ficts, the Secretary of the Treasury . forthwith directed the District Attorney, aided by the Marshal, to take the most rigorous steps for an investigation of the matter; which direction was promptly obeyed, and an examination held, at which the informer and his witnesses met the accused -face to face. All the evidence which could be adduced was taken, even hearsay evidence, and the books and papers of the office investigated. The whole examination was conducted in a public manner, the witnesses were sworn, and the testimony committed to record, and subjected to pub lie inspection when lo not a single charge of mal conduct was sustained, no defalcation existed, and not a shade of dis honesty could be made to cast upon the character of Dr. Canby ! We have the good authority of several intelligent gentlemen, of both parties, for saying that the acquittal was full and triumphant, in the estimation party, were highly gratified that the exammation was made Those who havo delighted to prophecy evil, and who have pretended to know of tne mal administration aforesaid, will no doubt, feel deeply mortified that their predictions have filled, and that their knowledge was only that of the fool, who is wise in his own conceit; and they can now sit down and enjoy those happy feelings which they must relish, when they find again and again, that the envenomed tongue of their malicious slander, has been busily enlaced in traducing another innocent and persecuted individual. Certain wise men at Indi anapolis had seen so far into a mill-stone, that they even knew the precise amount of the defalcation to be 07 twenty-six thou sand, some hundred dollars, some cents and a half;Q but, where are they now, and where will they hide their pitiful faces?

Remarks of Iflr. Rice AT A MEETING HELD IN ?UILADELPHI A. Mr. Stephen E. Rice, being called upon by the meeting, came forward and said, that he was quite unprepared for the honor which had been done him: that it had often been his lot to address his native countrymen on National subjects; but that he felt it one of the proudest events ot his lite, that he should be invited to associate himself in any manner with the deliberations ot this immense ' patriotic assemblage of his native and adopted fellow citizens of America. Gentlemen, said Mr. K., the veto ot the bank bill is an era in the legislation of the country : it is the American magna charta, the people's bill of rights. You are met to celebrate a glorious victory for the Democ racy of the U. States, an irresistible proof that the people's choice is the best choice, an event that demonstrates their ability to select good men for their officers: they did not miss their man in Andrew Jackson. For my humble self, said Mr. R., I have heretofore felt little interest in the concerns of politics; content to move silently in my move appropriate sphere ; but no sooner had 1 read the document, which has been the occasion of this meeting, than the patriot ism and honesty which it breathes in every line, warmed my. apathy into enthusiasm. Who could' be mdiilerent to such a specta cle of generous self-devotedness? Who can sufficiently applaud the firmness, the unflinching firmness, with which the man of the people adhered to his principles, even at the risk of that which was dearest to him, your support and approbation '; It was indeed, as was said of another great man, a dangerous; display of integrity in the teeth of power. "That soldier is a man: all are not men, that wear the human form." There is a pension of gratitude due to him from every man who has the interest of the people at heart. He has claims on the country which cannot be repaid. He has met the assaults of monopoly in the armour of the constitution: he has planted its banner in the breach: and who can refuse to rally round him? He has stood manfully and fearless at the helm, when the course was hazardous, and the storm threatening to break upon his head: who can refuse him thanks and a welcome, when he has had been requesbv mrmv of his friends Who were now about him, Irishmen, like himself, and ma ny other natives of the green Isle, whom he had conversed with, to declare their cordial sentiments em the subject of the Veto: per haps no more fitting occasion coulel offer itself than the present. He was aware that there were some exceptions to the remark he was about to make, . but the remark was nevertheless too true to be disputed, that the Irishmen of this district, as a body, were united in support of General Jackson, and ml as much if not more united in his favor than at any former time. I have no doubt, he said, I can have none, that on this ques tion, I represent the Irish ieehng of Phila delphia. Ihey have lelt themselves a grieved by the efforts of others to convince their follow citizens that they have deserted their old favorite; him who they know to be the son of an Irishman, nay, almost an Insnman himsell, "a small matter of reckon ing having only prevented him of that honor altogether'' him whom h.'s enemies have accused of boasting that he had Irish blood, who has loved the green Isle of his ances of tors, ("and that love is recorded in hearts that have suffered too much to forget,"! and whose whole heart is full of the hot, palpi tatinsr blood of Irish republicanism. And I ill i t i now uiii ne uas sioou ueiween t no nnnr I man and the money-broker, the laborer and the stock-jobber, more enthusiastic in his cause, than ever heretofore,, they will still 111 ! aunero to turn and uphold him. Mr. Rice men aoveried 10 me dinerent attempts which had been made to alienate the atibchas 1 tions of Insamen from Gen. Jackson.-to mislead their judgment, and corrupt their svmthe pamies. lie was particularly severe nn the I .i . it . i i to course which had been pursued by the edi tor ot the fatnot and Shield, (the Irish and Shield no longer.)

Natural effects of slavery. An overseer in Florence, Alabama, chastised a negro woman. The husband of the woman saw the blows inflicted, and remonstrated with the overseer. The overseer struck, the negro with the butt of his whip for being unable to repress his indignation at seeing his wife lacerated in his presence. The negro turned upon him, and in the struggle, inflicted several stabs with a knife. The overseer died, and the negro will he burned at the stake. This punishment, which is clearly unconstitutional, (all cruel and unusual punishments being prohibited,) is not uncommon in many of the Southern states. A pile of pine wood finely split, is laid up, in the form of a cob house, and spirits of turpentine poured over it. The victim is placed inside, chained to a tree or po3t, the pile is fired, and he is roasted alive. Now what is more natural than the transaction above recorded. Change but the color of the skin, and what say law and public sentiment about it? The story would be related thus: Conjugal Affection. An interesting young woman, employed as a weaver in one of the manufacturing establishments, was assaulted by the overseer, for some trifling fault, and severely beaten in the presence of her husband a young man of ardent temper and warm affections. He remonstrated, and was struck by the overseer, upon which he seized him, and in the struggle that ensued, happening to have a knife in his hand, stabbed the overseer so that he died. The young man was subsequently tried for manslaughter. An eloquent appeal was made to the jury, who immediately acquitted him. Boston Daily Advocate. Much has been said in some of the papers in praise of the offer made by the United States Branch Bank to lend a million of dollars to the City Banks until the first of October next, at 5 per cent, interest. This has been spoken of as an act of great generosity, and as a knock down argument in favor of the National Bank. The offer was well enough on the part of the Branch Bank -nobody could blame them for it, yet it docs not seem to us worthy of the florid panegyric which has been bestowed upon it, unless the Bank deserves it for understanding its own interests. The case stands thus. Oar merchants are in want of accommodations at the Banks they owe money to the Branch Bank the Branch lends money to the city Banks the city Banks are to lend it to the merchants, and the merchants arc to pay their notes to the Branch Bank with it, which thus gets a fair interest for its capital without running any risk by accommodating our citizens. The risk will be incurred by the City Banks, and the profit will go into the coliers of the Branch Bank. In the meantime it is to be recollected, that the Bank owes a large amount to the United States Treasury, the payment of which has been delayed at the solicitation of Mr. Biddle, until the 1st of October, and for which the Bank pays an intcrcst OI-3 per ccnt in tne maan tjmc the institution can lend it at 5 per cent, they pei will make a hadsome speculation. N. York Evening Post. During the prevalence of the epidemic, many sad domestic scenes have occurred, which it would be impossible to describe, even if it were expedient. Take for instance the following; Last Sabbath morning there was a happy family residing at 25 Madison street, by the name of Bogert. They, as usual attended Mr. Clay's (Bap tist) church, of which Mr. B was a member. In the evening at 8 oVlock, he was seized with Spasmodic Cholera, and died in about 1 1 liours- About nine o'clock, a child about 4 years old, was attacked by the same dis case, and died'-on Monday. Another child aged 2, was attacked during Sunday night, and a third, aged 11, on Monday morning, just before the death of the father. They were more comfortable on Monday evening. but died in the course of the msht A scrvant woman in the same family was taken on Monday and died after a few hours sickness. Mr. Bogert was buried on Monday after noon, and the four others on Tuesday morn inr. Thus, in less than 40 hours, five mem hers of one family, passed from a state of health to sickness, from sickness to death, and from death to the grave, burely "at such an hour as we think not, the Son of Man comcth." Mr. Bogert (Albert) was man oi great useiuinessinoaooain ocnoois, and in various other ways. He was by occupation a silversmith.

Frcdi Texas. A gentleman just arrived from Texas via Red River, states that a revolt had taken place among the Government troops, stationed at Galveston bay, headed by the celebrated Col. Bradburn. The inhabitants of Galveston, nearly all Americans, were driven from the town, their dwellings pillaged and laid waste; the public stores and shops were broken open and robbed of their contents, but no lives, we arc informed were lost. Three Americans were detained in prison. The state of Anahanc was in motion; the settlers around Galveston were collecting and forming themselves into voluntcer companies, and 500 of the inhabitants of Brasoria, we arc informed, expressed their willingness to inarch against the rebels, whose term of usurpation, we believe will be short. Bradburn, with a view to strengthen his illegal position, had sent an express to the military post at Nacogdoches, for a reinforcement ot men. Louisiana Adv. Moir. It is with regret we announce tho fact, that on Sunday Morning last, between one and two o'clock, a mob of about two hundred persons collected and set fire to and burned two frame houses in the lower part of the city, occupied by persons of illfame, and destroyed or materially injured two or three other tramc buildings. Two of tho chief actors in tiie scene were killed. About twenty of those concerned have been arrested. Louisville Herald. Keeping Stacks clear of Rats and Mice.

The commence merit of Mr. JcflersonV administration was marked by a removal, from responsible and lucrative offices, of a great portion of those whose political opinions were opposed tolas own, on the ground that most of the offices at the disposal of the government, hud bren exclusively bestowed on the adlierants of tho opposite party. In a reply to a remonstrance of merchant of New-Haven, against tbe removal from office of a federal collector of that porf, and the appointment of a gentleman of opposite politics, the president assigned this as t!ic reason of the courso he adopted. "It would have been to me," said ho in reply, "a circumstance of great relief, had I found a moderate participation of offico in the hands of tho majority (the democratic party.) I would gladly have left to time and accident to raise them to their just share. But their total exclusion calls for prompter correctives.

It will con vey to our render. an idci in what light General JncUon's opinions are received by his friends throughout the conn try. It is with pleasure that we arc enabled to state, as far as our own knowledge, at present, extends, w: have not noticed a single instance, among (lie vast number of periodicals, that have sustained him for the former measures, but what ardently support the present one. The light that has been thrown on this fubp et, through this last mess ce of the President has caused- rranv who have heretofore, rej niaiued silent, to take the prime hide pendf nt stand.
