From the Cincinnati Republican UNITED STATES' BANK. NO. IV. The present apologists and defenders of the United States' Bank, hope to ward away from that institution the deep ton'd indignation of the people, for it manifold transgression committed in the west, by disavowing in its name, the conduct of its former managers and agents. It is attempted to ally the rooted hostility which exist towards it, and which

iias been so justly excited by its former sins; and to win back the public favor appeals to its magnanimity and solemn assurances of reputation and reformation. I would ak the apologists of the Bank, whai proof it has yet given of its sincerity ; what assurance it is now giving of this affecting contrition. Out of the vast sums of which, under the color of law, it has plundered the people, refer me to the solitary dollar which its pretended returning sense of justice, lias returned to the injured and real owner? I would not open afresh the

wounds which the soothing influence of

time, has partially closed: but, if 1 did, I fancy I would find little difficulty in marshaling a host; (alas! in many instances of orphans and widow, made such by the Bank, and others now wandering in exile on foreign shores, in pursuit of Mime of the comforts of which the sordid avarice of that institution had beprived them;) greater than that which beset the tent of Richard, that would atlord tne Bank an opportunity of irivinir some

-olid proof of its sincerity, In restoring a portion of that property of which it had deprived them, and which, according to the priciples of eternal justice, was their own.

a'jode of tlie savage and the wild beast of the forest. He was one of that adventurous band of pioneers who first penetrated the wilderness, and whose hands assisted in letting the ltrst light oi the sun in upon the maiden soil of tht Miami valley. He had endured every viusMtude and privation incident to an early settlement, but by dint of unwear-

ncd industn, had managed to rear a

large and respectable family, and, as he

supposed, to accumulate a handsome

competency form? declining years. In

an evil hour he was tempted to contract a loan from a Bank. It was but a short

time from that period, before he was in

the icy embrace ot the foul monster that

lias since proved his destroyed. A sloim

soon gathered, whose fury, (although, in

the course of his eventful life, he had witnessed many, but had been enabled to break the force of them by the skill willi which his practUed eye detected

their indications,) he could not avoid, because it sent out no precursor. It -oon broke around him, and he found himself in the vortex of its desolation. When it subsided, not a vestige of all that he had possessed remained. The home, which he had spent nearly his whole life in rearing up, and decorating, and the thousand nameless comforts which he had denied himself in youth, that he might enjoy them in age, ail, .ill

were gone. His son, the idol of his

heart, the promise of his declining years,

and the pride of the circle in winch he moved; he too, had been driven away into foreign land, by the fury of the tempest, where he languished and died. A, lipoid man told his tale and made

of 115 miles, to answer the suits of the Bank. In many of these cases, although

me original debt did not exceed one or

two hundred dollars, the utmost difficulty was found in saving the little property of the debtors from the fangs of the monster, and it was by most incessant labor that it was effected. Many cases can be produced, wherein the costs hae amounted to a sum nearly equal to the orig.nal debt, and in which, the most favorable excuso which can be offered iu favor of the Bank, is, that these outrages were perpetrated in mere wanton:e.s. The debtors in these instances went voluntarily forward to the agent of the Bank, and proposed to confer judgements in the County Courts; by accepting which, the institution would have been enabled to collect iu debts, at least as soon as it could do b drugging its debtors to Columbus. :mti -..i.

inereiore, promptly rejected.

1 have known cases where individuals were the ownprs of large amounts of real estate, and although they were in

debted, yet admitted on all hands to be

ible to pay (even at the reduced prices

at which property was then estimated)

and have a very handsome surplussage. The Bank had obtained judgements a-

gainst them, which of course would he a lien upon all their property, I have known them, when opportunity would offer, to sell at fair prices, to tender the whole of the purchase money to the agent in part payment of tiie debt, on condition that the Bank would grant a release for the portion sold. The.-e propositions I have known to be refused, and every other but an immediate and entire discharge of the whole debt? I shall pursue these details no further, I am sick of them; there arc, however, a few cases of a more modern date, f so

lagitious a character, that a sense ofdu-

ty to the public will compel me to make

them Known. l, however, postpone

them lor the present. It has been more than once remarked

within my hearing, and by those, too,

interested in the management of the institution, that if it failed in obtaining a renewal of its charter, the conduct of the Bank towards the citizens ol Cincinnati, would contribute, as much as

any other circumstance, to produce that

an able and elhcient stay of the true principles of our Consti'tutien in the State, by the unanimous voice of whose people he was called to fill its highest office. We have constantly rrrrardod

the crisis arrives, (if it should occur.) rrry into active operation those prin

distress that must fall upon them, if the orders of the war department be execu

about to be poured upon a portion of

counter the consequences which are likely to flow from them. Although no appeals from the victims of this voracious monster to its solemn engagements; although no cry of distress fron the sufferers, writhing under its merciless inflictions, could excite the bowels of compassion of those charged with the conduct of its affairs, they yet could tremble and grow pale at the bare apprehension of meeting those wronged victims at the judgement bar; and they could fly appalled from the indignant retribution which they knew was so richly their desert, and which they dreaded at the hands of these witnesses. In m) next, I shall go to another branch of the subject. I shall endeavor to establish, thai so long as the United States

should be ejected out of the territory ceded by her to the United States, should conform to the provisions of the Ordi nance of 1787, the Government cf the North-west territory. Among thr articles to which euch state must conform, there is one in these words: The utmost good faith shall al way 8 be observed toward the Indians; their lands ai d property shall never be taken from them without theirconscnt; and in their property, rights and liberty, they shall reve t be invaded or disturbed, unless in just and lawful warauthorized by Corgrcc And now, when the Government of the conntry in the faithful discharge cf this

important and sacred duty , cquallv binding upon her and upon this State, is it becomieg in the Governor to stigmatize the acts of itsolllcers as ' palpable aid indefensible invasions of the ackrowledged rights of the Stale,"' and to menace them with an application of military violence and the embarrassment cf civil resistance? We believe that the right of the Government is clear upon open grounds. She has the right to the entire vacant and unappropriated lands in the State and such as were in that situation at the adoption of our State Constitution. The construction the Governor placei upon that article f the Constitution that confers upon Congre the right io 'dispose of and make all needful ruhfc and regulations respecting the territory and other parts of the United Slates, appears to us a little extraordinary.---He seerm to think the authority of Congress limited to the making of sales of land, and fixing the title of the purchaser.

Some have sought to embarrass this subject by pretending that the Government denies the right of the State to jurisdiction over the ceded land. Determined to create an unhappy controversy between the authorities of the two Governments, they wil-

ruiiy misstate the very point in dispute. The General Government asserts that the land in question belongs to her and that she has the right to remove any intruders from it; that the treaty by which the land waB acquired imposes this as a duty, that one of the parties to the contract requires the fulfillment
