BARRY AND HIS LOANS. The 2d clause ol the Cth section of the 1st article of the Constitution gives to Congress the power Vo borrow money on the credit of the United 6'iare.1 but as they have paed no law authorizing the Post Master General , as their agent, in borrow the $100 000, which he states he has oh tained on loan has he not violated the Constitution, and is he not, therefore, liable to impeachment? As there is no mention made in his annual report of the receipt or disbursement of these $100,000, and as that report' should comam all the operations ol his de j parturient, and show all his receipts and ilisbursements, from whatever source de rivatde, is not such suppression of fact and truth, sufficient cause lo institute an inquiry of Congress? Is it not the duty of the President, to recommend to congress an immediate and rigid scrutiny into all the affairs of (he p03, 0ice department ? Jf pogt General borrowed this enormous sum without the knowledge and approbation of the President, has he not, in so doing, woiked a constitutional forfeiture of olhce? ,n,e "Oived it with the approbation and consent of tbe President, has not that high otficer, by such connivance at a vio subjected himelf lo impeachment? The Post Master General is bound hy the act of March 2d, 1799, to "once in three months render to tbe Secretary o the Treasury a quarterly account of all the receipts and expenditures in the said department, (o be adjusted and settled as other public accounts. 11 Has he done so? If he has so settled has he included the! l.i" .: t l : -1. ..., l....,9i before mentioned loans iusuch settlements? If so, why conceal them from Congress until they were extolled from him by Ihe "searching operation1 of tbe Senate1.- resolution. A QUEPJST.

From ihe Montrose (Penh.) Jtegister. LETTER TO THE EDITOR. Harrisburgh Sept. 15, 1832

Dear Sir : 1 have read with feeling? of peculiar approbation theeditorial remarks in your paper of the 7th inst. on the subject of the Vice Presidency. I had already noticed, with i.o oilier emotions than those of contempt and disgust, the movements and declarations to which you allude designed to create a belief that the Presidential Electors nominated on the: 5th of March last, would, if elected, vote for Mr. Van Buren as Vice President. I will not believe, that any honest and intelligent friend oi Gen. Jackson, can tie guilty ot such gross :emeiny. onuuiu even a well-grounded suspicion prevail. that such a cause would be ultimately pursued by any portion of the electors on

our ticket thousands of Gen. Jackson's J in ,iic easf conversant with the springs of. Alabama squatters to psalm eir.gmg I iuc i n r o rn Cr t n f I 4 would be deterred frornlr i t:.. inr ,,-.,,mpni bp- inns from Carolina crackers to wooden

supporting it; and if the corrupt attempts i-iiivvi ..,... - to induce this course are persisted in to the last, it may render doubtful even the entire electoral vote for Gen. Jackson himself. Strange as it may seem, and discreditable ns it certainly is, to it? authors and abettors I am now convinced, lom recent developments, and facts within my own knowledge, that a deep laid plot is actually io a train of maturation, having for its object the tranfer (if possible) ofa part if not the whole electoral vote of Pennsylvania, to Mr. Van Buren. The plan is to remain quiet hereafter until the Presidential election, when the vote of the people will have been given with a view to Mr Wilkins then meetings of squads are to he got up wherever it is posibie, and resolutions passed compli-1 mentarv to Mr. Wilkins, but expressing regret that his prospects of success throughout the Union are no better, and a hope, that as an act of patriotic sacrifice rendered necessary by (he crisis of affairs he will decline. These will be paraded h evidence of public opinion, immediately before the electors as?rmtled to justify those (if any) who may be sn in. dined for giving their votes lor Mr. Van Buren, and thus shamelessly degrading the political character of the State. Be not astonished at almost any politi cal movement in these times therefore startle not when I tell you that 1 have spen letters (and heard of others) from New York politicians, which contain an outline of the above project. And that there are men in this State, engaged in this humiliating scheme, who profess to be friendly to Gen. Jackson but who, in truth, are merely employing the influence of his name for their own mercenary and ambitious purposes ii equally certain, an I susceptible of the clearest proof! What Pennsylvania, let me ask, who cherishes a single feeling of State pride or has a nik of manly spirit glowing within his bosom, but must awaken to in dignant resentment at the insult to the State, which this project involves It is 6uch an insult as no one except the fervile tools of a practised political gambler and systematic, intriguer, would dare to offer, even the most insignificant state in the Union. I have loo much respect for the individuals named on our electoral ticket, to believe that any of theoi will prove recreant to the principles avowed by the fifth of March Convention, nnd rat their votes for the New York canditate for the Vice Presidency. I know it is a common maxim, that ''eve ry man has his price,11 however true this may be as a general rule, so far as

am concerned in this case, I must plead . WOrld a map and picture of human life an exception. With me there can be no; lhe texl.book of mortality and record p. ice for such a violation of taith and de-of nman thoughts and feelings, and of reliction ol principles. Mr. Van Buren ; every arcj(jenti xt CVentt or circumstance having, by himself and his li lends, done all lhalflesh js heir f rorn the helpless in his power to defeat the vievs and juetj infant ,n the cra(1e to ,,ovveiful despot claims ol the Democracy of Penns) Ivauia,; on ,li9 throne from the humble obscurity ought to be (he last man to expect, and l,of t)e cottage t0 the 'clouri-capt towers trust will be the lat man to receive its;and gorgeous palaces1 from the peacefavors.

me in some measure, from speaking of the the trackless forest, or clambering the ,u Sfe",L,,elatter as I think he deserves.

Situated as I am, when at home, on the confhes of the State of New York, and having been personally intimate with many of ftfr Van Burens partizans: few individuals have had better opportunities, than myself, of marking his political manoeuvres, lor the last twent) years; during which time he hag exhibited all the powers and Qualities . . . with regard to politics, of the chameliou assuming every hue and color which his ambitious purposes, in view of the exigencies of the moment, seemed to require. To speak plainly I know him to be de void of political integrity and mosl of those high qualities ofthemiud, which, wherever they may be found, I humbly (rust no minor difference in mailers of human opinion will ever prevent me from duly acknowledging or yielding a just re?.pect.

these only reuder him the more daBgerous io times of public excitement and illu sion. When lie first entered Gen. Jack. sod1 Cabinet, 1 expressed my serious misgivings of the result, to Judge McLean, (then Postmaster General.) and others: and the mischiefs which I then apprehended have been more than verified. His whole course has been that of a political disorganizer whenever it could promote

his selfish schemes. Party arrangements, and even the sacred tiesof personal friend . i ve i,een sacrificed upon the altar 0f hig jngHtjaie stmbilion. Pennsylvania is fast losing her weight an(j jnfluence in the Union, by substituting, erroneou-ly as I conceive, an implicit !e volion to men, for patriotism.

Barbour of Virginia, wlvm 1 know to be a democratic of Ihe Jefferson school, a sincere fiieud of the President, aud to possess talents of the highest order. A bove all, I believe him lo be as hone9t a man as ever liven. I have thus very hastily and concisely given you my views with regard U cer tain matters naturally connected with the subject of the paragraph in )our paper, first alluded lo.
