A large number of shares have already teen eubscribedt although our farmers generally, and those of the counties composing this Bank district, perhaps from want ol information of the time of opening the books, have been rather backward in becoming stockholders. We say to all those who have not yet taken stock, and are desirous of doing so, to apply to the Commissioners immediately, and secure for theaisplves the number of shares they ate desirous of obtaining, or they may be too late. The stock in the Branch located at Madison, Indiana, vas all taken in one day.

It is also desirable to know if the nomination made at the Broadway House, of William C Wales tor Alderman, and Lambert Suyuam lor Assistant, to represent this ward in Commou j Council, for the ensuing year, and it Ouitan C .' a.j Verplanck, as a candidate for Mayor, meets your l . ! ipprobation.

Gls.NTI.EMF. : The statements in the paper?, to which you refer, were certainly unauthorized by me. and appeared to my surprise. They must have been derived from casual conversations and promulgated by party spirit, which too oiten infiinges upon delicacy in its 7, al. Rather than take a different side from old associates, who still profess to find, those measures rixht which I deem wrong, i wished to hold myself aloof, and where I could not approve to retrain, if possible, from opposing. But called upon now ollicially by so respectable a body of my neighbor? and tellow citizens to declare my sentiments unequivocally 1 cannot be deemed forward in stating them, since compliance is a duty. I supported Gen. Jackson's election, and I continue to feel the highest gratitude for hieruinent services in the field. Though perhaps disappointed in some of the expectations I had formed of the benefits to be derived from his administration, still prefering him far before those who were brought as candidates against him, I have sustained him as long as I could do so conscientiously. In relation to the great question which agitates and engrosses Congres and the people, after having examined lus course with every disposition to find it justifia ble, 1 cannot possihlv approve it The fiscal reason'' which have been assigned for the renmviil of the public depofilf s, are so (utile that they Inrdlv deserve an answer, lo say in the same breath that the necessary demands of Government will reduce them in oneyear to little or nothing, and yet that they must he rem v d at once, b,ct they should be so greatly accumulated by tbe time the charter will expiro, a to compel Congress to renew the charter, ii really too absurd to be deemed serious. When I am told that the public monevs were not safe in the United States' Bank, aud looking at the public documents, I find that just befort the removal, they amounted in the whole to less than ten millions, while the bank had elev en millions in speeio; but now that they amount in this city alone to five millions, while the banks in which they are placed have only eis;ht hundred thousand dollars in specie, I cannot see what has bten gained in point of safety. The true ruel indeed avowed motive whs a political one. The object was to cripple, nay to crush an institution deemed dangerous, and winch is said lo have set itself in opposition to the will of -the people, aud to have improperly interfered iu the election of our Chief Magistrate. But the folly of the attempt of the bank, if it really was made, has been fully A "e " proven to i c no n,l il'iVt littTr I lot .d Jnn ilv n l".i -nlnl. bank undisturbed to die its natural death.

imposition He has the exclusive directum oi all neociations with foreisn nations, and the exclusive right of nomination to all offices No treaty can be made, no otlicer be appointed, without his previous approbation. He exercises the power of removini; by bis sole authority every otlicer, the judges only excepted. He is Commander in-chief of all the armed forces of the nation, b- sea or by land. He exc cntes, and at times iuterpets, the laws and treaties. He has a qualified negative on all laws, and exercises it reely . Against the dangerous abuse ot those powers centered in one man, we have, heretofore, been protected by the Constitutional check of the Senate, which has now been evaded; by saluta ry legal burner, which bus now been overleaped, by that admirable temper and moderation which had characterised our former Presidents, and on which my reliance is now greatly lessened. This is the only quarter from which encroachments that miiiht gradually undermine our lib ci ties, and subvert the principles of republican government, can be apprehended. And let it not be forgotten that the (anger is never greater than when that high functionary happens to enjoy an excessive degree of popularity ; capable of inducing the people to sustain all hi pretentions, and that the attempt to establish a fatal precedent is never more likely to succeed, than when the object of the attack happens to be an unpopular institution: when those tircum stances are combined, public attention is but too easily diverted from the true state of the mo mentcus question at issue Should the attempt now made be sanctioned by the people, the purse and the sword would be placed in I ho same hands, aud the first visible effect will lc a corrupt influence iutroduced into our government. Six months have not elapsed since the Executive transfer of the public moneys was made, and what is already the result in this city, alone? The i hree respectable banks selected for the purpose have a capital of six millions of dollars. Their discounts, amounted to 9,200,000 dollars, and they made one with another, nn annual dividend of six and a half per cent. But with the aid of the public moneys they are now able to discount near 13,K0O,(JU) dollars, or four millions six hundred thou-nnd dollars more than formerly, giving an additional profit of four-and a half percent a year on their capital Thus we have forlv Bank Directors endowed with the power of "distributing four millions and a half in loans, beyond the natural resources of their banks, and two thousand stockholders whose income i3 at once raised from to II per cent This might not give much influence to the granter if the boon was irreparable, iiut on what tenure is it held? It depends on the sole will of the Secretary, who has reserved the power to annul the contract whenever he pleases, and w ho tor any such assign reasons. Or pi-i.ds on the all controlling will of the President, since the Secretary of the Treasury has eca-ed to be the officer of the law. and i; u mere puppet moved by the chief magistrate, who remains himself legally irresponsible lor acts, which, ac. cording to law must be performed by the said Secretary. If this uncontrolled ai d irresponsi - ble power to grant, and, at will, to shift lavors' to that extent, is not an improper, and pro per lively at least, a corrupt and mot dangcrouspecies cf influence, I am at a loss to know how a worse kind can be devised. The Dnmocratic Tarty was founded on the

purest principles; and, whilst adhering to, and cree which ordaios a levy nf 25,000 met) bound by these, it had a right to require person-; to recru;t tJ,e army, and give more eneral sacrifices from its friends namely, that they, ... , ..... .. .
