The greater part of those members who are friendly to such an instit idon certainly voted in favor of laying the negativ e proposition o.i the table, as otie which it would be, at best, a infra waste of time, and a trifling with the actual crying exigencies of the (iorernrnnt. now to achate. But among the nays o that question are to be found the names of some who voted against laying it cn the table for different reasons; among which a reaJiness to vote directly and at once upon the main question probably induenced several. We do not mean to say that ft this time a majority of the House of Representatives is furarableto a National Bank. We incline, indeed, to tha contrary opinion.

Trom the late debate in Congress we learn the C ItAwing fact", M e want our raders to observe that these rhargrs were openly madn by members of 'oniress on t'ae floor of the House and were not contradicted. Mr. Garland of Louisiana, stated the fact, that the Government had mi. 7000 for 40 cords of wood, what w ill all honest farmers ssy to this? He also said, for a singletrip of a steamboat on th Kivrr Apa' ichicola, the owner had received a sum equal to the w hole cost of the boat, and w hat w ii Mr. Grundy siv to that!

According to th? report of the Secretary of the Treasury, about twelve millions of dollars, due the Gov ernment rf the United Sts.tes, now remain in the Jleposite Banks.

B. atkins LrLrh, l.'te a distinguished member of the Y. iScnnte, from Virginia, in refcrenro to a calumnious attack on the late Chief Justice Marshall. It appears that the Hon. Win. Smith, recently of South Carolina and the Virginia VanIt uren candidate for the Vice Presidency durine . ,e canvass previous ,o me Augus, election, in A hi i'.m.i toil, x-t, .latdd n.. rw . ii.jooina i-iiL-ni -icivii ktii unic mail wilt; uvtosion, that Chief Justice Marshall was the owner of seventeen shares of stock in the U. States Bank, in the year 1819, when ho decided, in the case of M'Culloch vs. the State of Maryland, that the character of that Bank was constitutional. This tatc c.ent is said to have been made on the authority cf an U. S. Senator now representinu the State of Virginia. r. Wutlrins. of Huntsville, Alabama, immediately wrote to Mr. Leigh, 6tating the alleged facts, atid desiring information in regard to them. To this Mr. Ji i j.h replied, in a letter of considerable length, with documentary evidence annexed; proving inclusively that Mr. Marshall held no United States Hank stock, when he decided the case of M'Culloch againsf Maryland. j Political' hostility spares neither the living not the d. ad of the foul imputation on Judge Marshall's cha-arti-r originated with either of the Senators from Virginia, or have in any wise received tire sanction or endorsement of cither cf them, we hope that the name of calumniator will be helJup io the indignant rebuke ol the country. The fame of Chief Justice Marshal! peculiarly dear to Virginia is vet the. common pro;eitv of the republic and all hr children are equally interested in its preservation. The race of jrreat men in the 'Ud Dominion has so dwindled and dwarfed of late, that she must watch over the mem ory of her illustrious dea I with increased vigilance. It is worthy of remark that this same JuJge Smith the calumniator of Marshall ii the individual who received the offer from General Jackson of a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court. If there were ever a man who from nature and habitude sympathised with every thing that ia base in humanity, that man was Andrew fackson and from this trait in his character, and this only, can we account for his attempt ut elevating to a post of so much importance, on individual like Judge Smith. N. Y. Courier and Enquirer. The Belfast, Me. Journal, a Van Buren paper gives all the returns from the State and winds up with this strong encouragement to its disconsolate party: "JVe have, met the enemy atul WE ARE THEIRS," horse, foot and Dragoons! used up to a dead cer'ainty. "J'he Democratic party of Maine are looking tip for the reason that they are at the foot of the ladder, and can look no where else. If the whigs do not glorify at the result of this election, they know not how to apppreciate victory. They have an undoubted right to rejoice." The N. Y. Star thinks, that some of the Whigs are premature in their cen sures of Mr. Calhoun. Can the Star tell why it is, that Mr. Calhoun's two pa ners. the "Reform' r" and the "Mer chant," have all at once ceased to de nounce the administration? Lou. Jour Letter from Texas.

This week, as maybe seen by the daily report of interments, shows a considerable increase of sickness in your city the average number of deaths for the last five days has been t-ixty-four: vihich may be attributed to a change in the weather during the week which was as severe on the sick, as it was sudden mid unexpected. From what we have an ooportunitv

of observing, it appears that among those who have been attacked during the last ten days, rath er ttio greater number have died; it is at any rate certain, thut during this i criod the disease has assumed a more maiked and liolent character and the number of its victims has been greater than any other peiiod tf similar duration since the lust of August last. From this time forth, we have every reason to hope, that a very sensible diminution of sickness will be observed. The praiseworthy efforts made by the different Municipalities, joined to the chio liable exertions of a numerous poition of our private citizens, must be productive of the best csnse.juences, and tend especially to alleviate the sufferings r.f the poorer part of the population, which up to this time, have been very severe. 1'hvMcians and apothccaiics have been appointed in each ol the three sections of our city, for the purpose of giv ing advi-e, and distributing ti.- necessary medicines, among the indigent sick of their respec tive quarters.

Experiment number Four The new Treasury Bank, to be called "the divorcement of Bank and state." To these we will add the fifth and last experiment, by the people: The expulsion of Martin Van Boren from the executive chair. In order that ihe people may understand how it is, that the Treasury is now literally bankrupt, and that money is to be borrowed to carry on the ordinary operations of the government, it is necessary to state, that there have been already ex pended this year, the enormous sum of TWENTY FOUR MILLIONS of dollars and that appropriation for TWENTY FOUR MILLIONS MORE remain to be expended!! Thus making an expenditure in ONE YEAR of an eeonomtc'administration, in a season of peace ami eeneral repose of FORTY EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!! And this is exclusive, too, of the expenses of the Post Office Department. We take these startling facts from a report of the Secretary oi trie 1 reasury, just submitted to

RETNTRP EHT YAP.' MARRIED On Wednesday Evening the 4th Inst., by Elder David Warford, Mr. Isaac Watson, to Miss Han nah Ainley, both of Yincennes. ALL KINDS OF BLANKS

DIED On Sabbath Evening, the first

day of October, Mrs. Amanda B., consort of the Rev. F. Yioo McKke of this place. Those to whom she was known, will need no eulorrv to remind them of iter Virtues. She lived the life and died the death of a christian. She has gone to a land of rest, She has left a world of care, She now dwells among the blest, May her fiiends all meet her there. DEPARTED this life in the town of Benton, county of Yizoo, and state ol Mississippi, on the 30sh of August last, the Hon. James M. Bimtin, formerly a citizen of this place. It has been said, "those whom the Gods love, die young." And surely if incorruptible integrity, niniableness of manners, the most ardent affection for kindred, charity to the poor, devoted attachment to friends, and punctilious attention to the duties of the station he filled in society, have any influence in recommending a craaturc to ihe favor of his Creator, he was not numbered among the rejected of Heaven. He left Yiucennes whilo yet a mere youth before age had given stability to his judgement or maturity to his reason, and without friends, boldly threw himself on his own resources in a distant land. Possessed of a good education fortified by the principles of honor, and with a heart filled to overflowing with the tender and generous sympathies which adorn and dignify our nature, he rapidly rose lo distinction and houT. At the period of hi.s decccse, he held the highlv responsible o'lics of Probata Judge, and was a candidate (with the most certain indications of success) for one still more exalted. But in the midst of brilliant prospects, and while the pulse of expecta lion beat the highest, death came, and pointing to the tomb which contains the ashes of a younger brother, bade him fol low liis- departed spirit to that far-off land "from whence no traveller returns. " He was a sound lawyer, an able judge, and nn honest man. In the society in which he moved, no one was more generally and sincerely beloved. To his venerable parents, and every member of his afflicted family, it must be consolatory to know that although he died far from his native plains, where no Kooihing voice of rehi tive could reach his ear, the tender offer ings of the most devoted friendship were extended to him upon his couch of languisliment anil pain that the fiiends whom he loved, ministered aj far as in their power, to his wants in that solerr.n hour when the curtain of life's drama was falling upon him, and he was about to make his exit forever. The writer of this knew him well, and deems this feeble tribute of respect due to one who was once an inhabitant of this place, and who from his adopted home. ever looked back upon it as the cene of his happiest days. S. At a meeting of the members of the Bar of YazooJCounty, Mi., held at the town of Benton, on the (ith inst; Thomas B. Woodward, Esq. being called to the Chair and Jom Batlaile, Esq. appointed Sec retary, the lollowing resolutions on motion of R. M. Lorwin, Esq. were unanimously adopted: 1.
