From the Louisville Advertiser. FROM THE EDITOR. Philadelphia , April 26, 1821. -The state of parties at Washington, and the

lack of patriotism in the ranks of the opposition in the great cities of the cast, are subjects on which the people of tho west aro yet incompetent to form or express accurato opinions. Tho editor of the Journal, in advocating resistance to the constituted authorities of tho country, in urging a resort to the sword in order to fasten a monicd aristocracy upon the nation forever, was only giving utterance to sentiments entertained by men who formerly stood

high in tho estimation of considerable portions of tho American people. Foiled in their efforts to prostrato the democratic party defeated again and again beforo the people tho leaders of the opposition, acting for and with tho Bank aro now striving to bring on a civil war. I am no alarmist. I5 3 The fact I have just stated is not cmboided in this letter to create unnecessary apprehensions or to add to the warmth or virulence of tho contest in which wo . are engaged. In tho groat valley of the .vest, people aro strangers to that species of fear

which it was supposed would operate on Congress and extort from that body a renewal of the charter of the Rank hut they can no longer doubt that treason is abroad, or that it is tho settled purpose of Clay, Webster, Poindexter, Calhoun, Leigh Preston, McDufiie, &,c. to perpetuate the Bank by the use of the sword, if they can. Binney, in his Baltimore Sunday Speech, has only been a little less prudent than some of his prominent coadjutors less guarded than somo of his brother conspirators but he is neither moro strongly tainted, more corrupt, or less patriotic, than tho other individuals I have named. On the contrary, I consider Binney a temperate, pure and patriotic man, when compared

with most of his political associates. In his speech

on tiro deposite question, he spoke in the language

and with the temper of a gentleman. Ho had not then been, lung enough in tho company of the opposition aspirants to forget the value and character of our political institutions, or to feci prepared lo join in a conspiracy lo bring on a civil war. But Mr. Binney is an altered man. By associating four

The Indiana Journal (Indianapolis) of the 17th inst.eaya, "We understand that the bank stock in all tho brandies has been taken, except in tho Evansville district, from which we have no information. In this district, several hundred shares over the amount were subscribed." The same paper says, the next session of the Indiana College, will commence on the 2d day of June next.

The Globe Ins taken a correct view of this subject, and hap plainly and briefly exposed the de-

signs of tho leaders of the opposition. Their ob-j.-ct is civil var, and it is not improbable that they will undertake to wado into power through the blood of a unjotiiyof the American people. No man of observation can remain in Washington a month, or a week inftiliimore, Philadelphia or New York, without feeling convinced of the truth of these declarallons. .In New. York it has been openly dschrcd in a

were again succeeded by several others still more violent; which completed in one chaos of destruction whit parts of the city the former had spared. Of all tho religious churches in the city only that of Jesus delllio and that of San Andro escaped with tho loss only of their steeples. But the Cathedral church and the churches consecrated to San Frandisco, San Scbastin, Santiago, with their respective convents, as also thoso of Sjnto Domingo, Marced and Alonjas, were all dashed to pieces. With the exception of only three or four houses which have but half escaped destruction, all the rest, both groat and small, met with tho same fate the churches and convents experienced; and the smaller houses which remained standing were either removed from their former foundations, or so unsettled, as not to bo inhabited with safety, whence the affrighted population wero doomed to suller the rigors of a burning sun by day, never before known, and the heavy dew by night in a spot

wticre mey assembled to implore the Divine mercy for tho souls of those whose bodies they had collected together. The country all around was desolate by tho night frost and scorching sun by day.

The appearance of tho city after the violence of

tho convulsion had in some moasurc subsided, is j described as most melancholy presenting nothing but an undistinguishablo mass of fallen buildings, from which tho survivors wero endeavoring to exhume the numbors who had been overwhelmed. Tho Villages in tho neighborhood of tho city of Posto, namely, Laguna, INIocondino, Bussaquillo, Bejundino, Puertes, Canchala, Tamondino, Tongovito, Gaulmalan, Pandiaco, and Tescual, have all

lost their churches, and the two first named towns lost some of their thatched houses and five of their

inhabitants. The parishes of Maltaury, Yacuanquer, Tambo, Buiaco, Funes, and their neighboring parishes, likewise had their churches destroyed, with their plantations and tiled houses, but that lamentable loss of life was not incurred there, which bcfol Pasto,

the neighborhood surrounding the District called Bordoncille ; that almost the half of this Desert has been percipitatcd into tho bowels of tho earth, and tho other part raised as it were abovo tho surface, till it had formed a mountain of stupendous elevation, like another lofty mountain of similar origin, situate between Sibundy and Aguarico, which in its formation overspread a great deal of tho original soil. The Commissioners further state, that this mountain has, from successivo convulsions of tho

earth, mouldered away, covering the high roads, and causing the formation of immense marshes in the neighborhood; that portions of tho earth, precipitated occasionally from its tops, fell into the bed of the river Balsayaco,'and obstructed its course,

Almost the whole of this canton is overspread with large abysses, principally in the parish of Yacuanquer, where its numerous eruptions have fortunately not disturbed the course of the river Guittra."

Tho constituted authorities have done all in their

power to mitigate tins heart-rending calamity

there. Three thousand dollars were immediately forwarded by the Governor to tho city of Pasto, and subscriptions to a considerable amount were entered into lo relievo the pressing distresses occasioned by tho calamity. A". Y. Cour. Enq.

the Palladium has a very general circulation over the state, and is more or less read in each Congressional distfict, we desire, at least, to give as full a report of the doings of our own delegation in Congress as it is possible to glean from the papers as they reach us from Washington.
