United States Sank. Report of the Government Directors of the Bank of the United States to the President, relative to the printing Expenses of that institution, referred to in the paper read to his Cabinet on the Sth of September, 1833. To the President of the United States: Philadelphia, August 19, 1833. Sir: Wc had tho honor to receive your letter of the 3d instant, directing us to examine and report upon the Expense Account of tho Bank of the United States, for the last two years. Those of us to whom it was addressed, requested the attendance of our colleague, Mr. McElderry, to assist us in the examination. On his arrival, we proceeded to investigate the various charges, and to look into such of the vouchers on which they were founded, as we had time and opportunity to do. These are so numerous and embrace so many small items of various kinds, that a full view of them can only be given to you, by transmitting copies, made by some person authorized or requested by you or the Secretary of the Treasury. Tho time and labor necessary for this mode, would have prevented our resorting to it at present, even had you authorized vis to do so, for we have believed it would be more consistent with your wishes, that we should at once report the result of our own labors, leaving you to decide, after you shall have been made acquainted with them, whether a more .minutcl statement of the Expense Account be requisite. We may ldd, too, that finding the particulars of many expenditures were to be ascertained, only by an investigation of numerous bills and receipts, wc requested, at the Board, that the Cashier might furnish such a statement of them as might be susceptible of ready examination; but as this request was not complied with, we were obliged to depend entirely on our own partial inquiries. These facts we mention, merely to guard against any deficiency you may observe in our remarks, and any inaccuracies, should there be such, in the details which we communicate. As the Expense Account embraces tho various expenditures for salaries, making and issuing notes, transportation of specie, buildings, repairs, and
taxes on real estate, stationery, printing and contingencies of all kinds it is necessarily so large and intricate, that wo deemed it expedient at present to confine our investigation to that portion which embraced expenditures, calculated to operate on the elections, as they seemed to be the objects of inquiry suggested by you. All expenditures of this kind, introduced into the Expense Account, and discovered by us, wc found to be, so far as regards the institution in this city, embraced under tho head of Stationery and Printing. To it, therefore, we chiefly directed our inquiries; and an examination ofthatitemof the account, for the last three years, undoubtedly presents circumstances which, in our opinion, fully warrant the belief you have been led to entertain. The Expense Account is made up at the end of every six months, and submitted with the vouchers to the Dividend Committee, for examination. Commencing with tho last six months of the year 1S29, we find that the sum paid for Stationery and Printing amounted to $3,705 91, which we presume to be the necessary expense of the institution, under this item, when no extraordinary disbursements are made. During the year 1830, the expenditures increased to $7,131 27, during the first, and $0,950 20 during the last half year, and entires are made in both, of large sums, making together about $7,000, paid for printing and distributing Mr. McDuflie's report and Mr. Gallatin's pamphlet. These seem to be the commencement of a system of expenditure, which was, the next year, immensely increased, and received the sanction of the Board, as appears by the entires on the minutes, and two resolutions passed at the close of this year and in the succeeding spring. On the SOth November, 1830, it is stated in the minutes, that "the President submitted to the "Board a copy of an article on Banks and currency, "just published in tho American Quarterly Review, "of this city, containing a favorable notice of this "iastituticn, and suggested the expediency of ma"king the views of the author more extensively "known to the public, than they can be by means "of the subscription list whereupon it was, on "motion, Resolved, That the President be authorized to take such measures, in regard to the "circulation of the contents of the said article, ei"thcr in whole or in part, as he may deem most for "the interest of tho Bank. On the 11th March, "1S31, it again appears, by the minutes, that "the "President stated to the Board, that in consequence "of the general desire expressed by the Directors, "at one of their meetings of the last year, subsequent to tho adjournment of Congress, and a "verbal understanding with the Board, measures "had been taken by him, in the course of that year, "foc'furnishing numerous copies of the reports of "General Smith and Mr. McDuflie, on the subject "of this Bank, and for widely disseminating their "contents, through the United States; and that he "has since, by virtue of the authority given him by "a resolution of this Board on the 30th day of November last, caused a large edition of Mr. Gallatin's essay on Banks and Currency to be published and circulated, in like manner, at the expense "of the Bank. lie susrested, at tho same time, ;the propriety and expediency of extending, still "more widely, a knowledge of the concerns of this "institution, by means of the re-publication of other "valuable articles, which had issued from the daily "and periodical press whereupon it was, on mo"tion, Resolved, That the President is hereby au thorized to causo to be prepared and circulated, "such documents and papers as may communicate "to the people information in regard to the nature "and operations of the Bank." In pursuance, it is presumed, of these resolutions, tho item of stationery and printing was increased, during the first half of the year 1827, to the enormous sum of $29,979 92, exceeding that " of the previous half year by 23,000, and exceeding the semiannual expenditure of 1S29, upwards of
$28,000. The Expense Account itself, as made up in the book which was submitted to us, contained very little information relative to the particulars of this expenditure, and we were obliged, in order to obtain them, to resort to an inspection of tho vouchers. Among other sums was one of $7,S01, stated to be paid on orders of tho President, under the resolution of 11th March, 1831, and the orders themselves were tho only vouchers of the expenditures which we found on file some of the orders, to the amount of about $1,800, stated that the expenditure was for distributing General Smith's and Mr. McDuflie's reports, and Mr. Gallatin's pamphlet; but the rest stated generally that it was made, under the resolution of 11th March, 1831. There were also numerous bills and receipts for expenditures to individual?, among them, of Gales and Seaton, $1,300 for distributing Mr. Gallatin's pamphlet; of William Fry for Garden & Thompson, $1,075 75 for 5,000 copies of General Smith's and Mr. McDuflie's reports, &c. ; of Jesse Harding, $110 for 11,000 extra papers; of the American Sentinel $125 74 for printing and folding, packing and postage on 3,000 extras; of William Fry, $1,830 27 for upwards of 50,000 copies of the National Gazette, and suppliments containing addresses to members of the State Legislatures, review of Mr. Benton's speech, abstracts of Mr. Gallatin's article from. the American Quarterly Review, and editorial article on the Project ofa Treasury Bank; of James Wilson, $1,447 75 for 25,000 copies of the reports of Mr.
McDuflie and Mr. Smith, and for 2 )V 2.,tuv) copies of j State Legislatures, s the address to members of the ictaui) iu wiuci mu luuuia nuiti .iniiii oL-iuiun, i Esq. ; and of Carey &. Lea $2,S50 for 10,000 cop-j ics of Gallatin on Banking, and 2,000 copies of i A ii... c Tl.v. t! . Professor Tucker's article During the second half year of 1S31, tho item of stationery and printing was $153,221 87, of which $5,010, were paid on ordcis of the President, and stated generally to be under the resolution of 11th March, 1S31, and other sums were paid to individuals, as in the previous accounts, for printing and distributing documents. During the first half year of 1S32, the item of stationery and Printing was $12,131 10, of which $2,150 arc stated to have been paid on orders of the President, under the resolution of 11th March, 1S31. I There are also?various individual payments, of which we noticed $100 38 to Hunt, TarditY & Co. for 1,000 copies of the Review of Mr. Benton's speech, $200 for 1000 copies of the Saturday Courier; $1,170 to Gales cc Seaton for 20,000 copies of "a pamphlet concerning tho Bank," and 0,000 copies of the minority report relative to the Bank; and $1,800 to Mrtthew St. Clair Clarke for "300 copies of Clarke Hall's bank book." During the last half year of 1S32, tho item of j stationery and printing, rose to $20,513 72, of which $0,350 are stated to have been paid on or- j dcrs of the President, under the resolution of the 11th March, 1831. Among the specified charges we observe $821,78 to Jesper Harding, for printing a review of the veto; $1,371 04 to E. Olmstead, for 1,000 copies of Mr. Ewing's speech, Bank Documents, and Review of the veto; $1,100 13 to Wm. Fry, for 03,000 copies of Mr. Webster's speech, MrAdams's and Mr. McDuflie's reports, and the majority and minority reports; $295 for 1 1,090 extras of "the Protector," containing Bank Documents; $2,583 30 to Mr. Riddle, for printing and distributing Reports, Mr. Webster's speech, 6cc; $150 12 to Mr. Finnall, for printing the speeches of Messrs. Clay, Ewing and Smith, and Mr. Adams's report; $1,512 75 to Mr. Clark,for printing Mr. Webster's speech and articles on tho Veto; and $2,122 05 to Nathan Hale for 52,500 copies of Air. Webster's speech. There is also a charge of $5,040, paid on orders of the President, stating that it is for expenses in measures for protecting the Bank, against a run on the Western Branches. During the first half year of 1833, the item of stationery and printing was $9,003 59, of which $2,000 are stated to have been paid on orders of tho President, under the resolution of 11th March, 1831. There is also a charge of Messrs. Gales &. Seaton of $800, for printing the Report of the Exchange Committee. Having made this examination of the Expense Account, we were not only struck with tho large sum that had been expended, under the head of Stationery and Printing, in the two years to which you refer, but also to the evident necessity there was, that the accounts should bo so stated, as to enable the Directors and Stockholders to ascertain the particular sums of money paid, the quantity and names of the documents furnished, and the expen ses of distribution and postage. With this object we stated, at the last meeting of tho Board, the result of our examination of the Expense Account, and submitted the following resolutions: tcWTi : . i... k i.1... , "MiJLToas uappuaia uy utu jjApciiau aaumus of the Bank for the years 1831 and 1S32, that upand charged under the head of Stationery and Printing during that period that a largo proportion of this was paid to tho proprietors of newspapers and periodical journals, and for the printing, distribution and postage of immense numbers of pamphlets and newpapers and that about twenty thousand dollars were expended, under tho resolutions of 30th November, 1830, and 11th March, 1831, witliout any account of the manner in which, or the persons to whom the same were disbursed. And whereas it is expedient and proper, that the particulars of an expenditure, so largo and unusual, which can now be ascertained only by the examination of numerous bill and receipts, should bo so stated as to be readily submitted to and examined by the Board of Directors and the Stockholders: Therefore, Resolved, That the Cashier furnish to the Board, at as early a day as possible, a full and particular statement of all these expenditures, designating the sums of money paid to each person, the quantity and names of the documents printed by him, and his charges for the distribution and postage of the same; together with as full a statement, as may be, of the expenditures on orders, under the resolution of 30th November, 1830, and 11th
March, 1S31. That he ascertain whether expen - ditures of the same character have been made at any of tho offices, and, if so, procure similar state - ments thereof, with tho authority on which they were made. That tho said resolutions be rescind-j

Tito Philadelphia Intelligencer makes tho following judicious remarks relative to tho mode of electing President of tho United States. They will doubtless receive the hearty concurrence of every true republican, who is not inlluenced by party or selfish considerations: X. C. Star. "Constitution of the United States. It is generally understood that an amendment of the Constitution will bo proposed to the next Congress, by which tho people may enjoy, without intermediate agents, the previlego of electing their own Chief Magistrate. 1 ho proposition has thus far met no opponent; and wo would not bo surprised if such a clause were incorporated in our Constitution, with no other delay than is necessarily incident to every change in tho Magna Charta of our country. "Every one admits tho defects and dangers of the present plan. It wrests, in many instances, the power from tho free and independent people, to bestow it upon Congress. It is the standing excuse for those tricks of party, by which venal and selfish aspirants steal into office. It is perverted into a justification of national political conventions, bodies unrecognized by tho Constitution, general ly corrupt, selfish, and servile, which completely snatch the realities of power from tho people, and leave them merely tho naked and meagro privi - lege of assenting to what theso self-created lords havo prepared for them. "There is no power so pure or so snfo as the people themselves. Any institution which weakens or chains or even directs tho invaluable rights of suffrage is dangerous. National Conventions CD only transfer the right of Government from tho j many to tho few from the people to the politi- ! cians. If the people require leaders, it is well; if 1 they are sufficiently intelligent and virtuous to govii .1.,. .,: : . i . " uiu i.tcmsut, ui utiu-tcpuutn.au aim uaiiu-cuh-stitut.onal tribunal, erected between them and j "The present defects of the Constitution, in providing for the choice of the President, are the only avowed and rational excuse tor a rsational Convention. Ifthoso defects an? removed, this dangerous and corrupt engine must be removed with it. "It remains to be seen whether those who have urged a National Convention to prevent a choice by Congress, will not oppose a reform oftho Constitution, to sustain the National Convention." Tho Richmond Enquirer having expressed nn opinion favorablo to tho plan, suggested by the United States Telegraph, of dispensing with the colleges of electors, and transferring the election of President directly to tho people tho people of each State tho 1 olograph expresses its gratification at the probability that Mr. Richie's influence will be thrown into tho scale of "the iwpzZflrbrw,'" and states that "an old school democrat, one who has read much, and thought more on this subject, has prepared an amendment, embracing tho principles which he professes to approve, and which will in a few days be presented to the public.

During l ist Wednesday night, a man named B. Beatty was murdered on the race ground, at the town of Wjlkinsburgh. His head was battered and his skull broken, as if a heavy weapon had struck it. Some three or tour lads, between the ages of twclvo and fifteen, are implicated and have been arrested on suspicion. Thesu were seen in gangs, prowling about the tents at the race ground on tho night of the murder, and demanding liquor, cakes, money, Arc. from keeping tents, under the penalty of committing depredations. It appears the deceased kept a tent, and would not bo menaced into acquiescence to their demands. They attempted to plunder by force he resisted them, and in tho conflict received deadly wounds.

Wo should bo mortified to w itness tho tranpott:.tion of the funds from tho several land ofiices in our State, into tho adjoining States, to bo deposited and paid out on account of th'J Government. Indiana can secure to her citizens tho disbursement ef nil Fuch funds, by establishing a Stato Bank with Branches at convenient points, to receive and payout thcs;i funds, These disbursements would yield a bandFoino profit to tlto IVink. Much business miht bo brought into tho Stato by receiving these dtpositts certainly no injury could aiiso from it. Whatever may be said upon the Fiibject, it is tho power of tho States Rights policy, which has broken down tho United States Bank, and as every other Stato will havo her hands open, ready to seize any advantage that may accruo from tho measure, Indiana would bo blind to her own interest, if sho neglects to turn up her dish also.

Jlo will find ns rather tough!" Wo dont think tho appears remarkably tender towards him. Important Discovery. We find in tho New York Evening Pos-ttf Saturday, the following extraordinary article. " Wo do not know that mention has been mada ofa discovery in tho lithographic art, which ia said to be susceptible of being extensively applied to useful purposes. An English gentleman it eems has discovered a method of transferring any printed work; a newepapt r for example to stone, in pucli a way that the stone may bo immediately put to press, and any number of copies t-truck clV, every ono a perfect fae simile of tho original.
