cast your suffrages for such. "True Republicans!" as Harrison and Tyler—men who would, had they the power, rob you of the dearest right,and most Sacred privilege you as freemen enjoy-** privilege that was earned by the toil, labor, and blood of some of the best and greatest men that ever lived, in this or any other age! “No! no!!” wc think we hear you responding, in accents loud; and so you will respond through the ballot box in November-next, -

tho powerful incline i of Fi:|f-ini«rest. It - is- ab-: surd, then to expect that tltc president and | directors rtf a Ihnirof tho United Stales will j ever become snt’u'and efficient regulator** of llici currency, in the very face of their own interest- i 03 stockholders. 1c would be easy for me to prove from historical facts that neither the former nor the present Hank of the United States ever did exorcise a regular ami .efficient, coiiiro! ovcrthcissnc-s of the State institutions. On (he contrary; whenever their into rest impelled them to extend their o\tn issue*, they have pursued this course: and thus, instead of checking, they have given loose reins to the Slate banks. Doth the think of ific.Unitfcd State* and these bank* have thn* together rushed on, and with united forces have ministered to that spirit of overtrading and extravagamjsppcubtiou which lias so often desolated our country. Time will not permit mo to do tnoro than refer to the vast expansions of this llmk.m 1917 and ISIS, 1633, in 1831, and in 1931.. These produced fnnitons contracrions and universal.distress. 1 think I may affirm/with perfect safety, ibat-at each of these periods, instead of restraining the State hanks, it look the lead. Has it ever preserved tho State banking in.-lit in ions in a sound condition! Let -Ur. Gallatin answer this question. Jin says that one hundred and sixty-five of our bank-? broke between 1SI1 amlTSSH; tfnd dijring the greater part of this period, wc'alfknnw that the present Hank of the United-Slates was in active existence.

VEVAY, INDIANA:

part in their deliberations, or attempt to suppress the liberty of speech. No, no, it can never be! Tiie very nature of the Democratic, creed,is to solicit open discussion, rather than attempt io gag down ‘the opposition. If we mistake not, Mr. Eggleston occupied as much if not more time than fill. Tibbatts, uninterrupted; and when U is taken into consideration that his reply was out of place, and Mr. Kent,politely yielded him the floor, we think Mr. tlcClcston hid no cause to complain. ; . .Mr. Eggleston appears very solicitous that wc should name some of the arguments advanced by Mr. Kent relative to his positions, and he will answer them. Wo cheerfully comply with his request, and call his attention to the following, in relation to the Independent Treasury bill:'

election of President of the.U'nited States; and with equal unanimity, jure come to the conclusion not to nominate any candidate for the Vice Presidency, but to leave lha: question to the ■"democratic party in each State. ‘ *l ,c mvciing of I lie Convention this morning, Mr. Gii.llt, from \ow York, from the commitappointed to draft resolutions declarative of the principles of the Democratic party, made a report; and the resolutions having been read, were adopted with the most enthusiastic mini* testations .of approbation. Governor Hill of iNew Hampshire then submitted an address which the committee, of which' he was chairman, had agreed on; and this, loo,.was received and adopted with equal; unanimity and cordiality. In short, this exceedingly able and eloquent paper, and the resolutions, carrying out its very essence' were adopted by acclamation in each vote. ’ In relation to the Vice Presidency, the chairman of the committee on nominations, Mr.Clay of Alabama, reported that as some of the States had nominated different candidates, and> as some were not represented in the Convention, the. committee had 'thought it most advisable that no nomination should be made by the Convention, but that .the Democratic party of each State should decide for -itself. Tins decision by the committee, heobserved, was the result of harmony, concession.and self-sacrifice. It was carrying out the Democratic principle of every thing for measures, and nothing for men. -The delegations from the Staics who were in favor of a ndmintron,;'arid some of them were instructed;, declared their, perfect willingness to acquiesce fn the will of the majority. In short, the utmost good feeling and harmony* prevailed. In the course of the discussions which took plate, t observed that all the delegates who addressed the meeting.evinced, the Strongest assurances of the success of the Democratic party next November. »The spirit and confidence they display--cd, was evidently the result of a firm and settled Conviction r-Tihe.r. ctrcgih in their respective States; and thq result of their cum pa ring notes together was, that ilia party throughout the Union is gainingf strength, notwithstanding all pic noisy clamors of the Dank parly. At two o’clock, the con von lion adjourned, to meet again, at four. r ■"

This is strictly the truth; for such a charter as that under which it now exists was never before granted to any banking corporation,.either In England or this country. The United States, it isMruo, ceased* to bo a stockholder; but it enjoyed the privilege of celling their bctcd" millions of stock, for which it could have procured,and doubtless did procure, a large advance. . •

<Kr In , order to meet the mail* running to the upper end of the county, we have, at the solicir tation of our subscribers in that section, changed the publication day of our paper to Thursday. Ry this arrangement cur subscribers in Posey and York townships will receive the paper about five days sooner than heretofore, whilo at the. game time it will not interfere with the other mails. We hope our friends will, in view of this accommodation, uao their exertions to increase the circulation of the Times.

Tho.House of Representatives have been insession, \yitjioul intermission, lor two days and a night. ’ The proceedings, as far as we are able to give them, will make it apparent to I he nation for what purpose this violence against all the proprieties cf legist.titan is for a tecoml lime repeal d-and continued. it is dearly mu to illsC«?s the question .whether the ordinary appropriations to pay tlie stipulated sums dte for services to those-engaged in t-he public employment be passed or not. The tenor of all the do tug; of the Opposition in the House.proves that their real object is tp protract ijte session of Congress, and do nothing. They arc laboring to drag the session intoBUtmher, upon.the ordinary bills —to compel tho body to adjourn then, without accqiiiptjshmg the great measure which the majority arc'pledged to their constituent* to pass upon, and to ollect this, wc have no doubt the factious minority will commit apy outrage that their most desperate leaders may suggest. 'The managers in this business arc bin the instruments of certain soulless corporations (hat look to the Government as their destined prey,and they belicvc'ihe esiablishmcnt of-an Independent Treasury would present a formidable obstacle to thn meditated conquest. They will defeat this by violence, if they can in no other, way. This is prophecy now; but wc greatly mistake the persons engagfcd on this work; and the instigators, if it docs.not.bccome history. Messrs. Gkaves, lliou, jOanraxu, and Stas let, we understand, were the principal-managers of 1 1:3 obstructions and delays of this protracted session. Since .writing the above, we learn that the. committee lias been forced to rise, without accomplishing its object oTbringing the bill into the House, where a vote upon it may be compelled. by ihe previousjjiieet'on.

Jeff Ease x Cooxxr Cosvehtios.—-We learn from, the .Spirit of Democracy, that’the Democratic Convention held at Mtldison-on Monday last, was the largest political- meeting that ever convened in Jefferson county, t Gamaliel Taylor, John IIuKT, jR.y and. Joim Chambers,- aro the nominees for Representatives. .AVo extract the following from' the editor’s remarks of the proceedings:, ■ “The Hon. Gamaliel Taylor,also addressed the mectirig,/and sald Otat Gealeral Harrison once wore a black cockade os an indication of a Federalist—and Mr./T. called onPotcr Mills Esd. a veteran/ who served in lhe laSt war, to bear him out in his assertion. Mr. M. arose, and with a trembling . voice, said , that’ he was in Cincinnati at one iime,wheo Gen. llarrison returned from Congress and he saw; him' with a black cockade ox ms hat, and the/federalists in that city followed hii example.” i V* V We are personalty acquainted with Air. Mills, and know hi in to bo a gcnllcrpinof. ihelnghct respectability and veracity. ; lie is an old pioneer of the wcst, and resided in. the neighborhood if Cincinnati at the time be alludes to, 1800, when; Gen. Harrieph was a delegate in Congress fro n tho North Western Territory, -His wqrd will not bo disputed by those who Know hint. ,

(fcJ-Thc fed* claim a majority of the popular vote in Virginia, Of this they should not bo too certain, ns it is rather early to ascertain the fact of such a conclusion.' Should they even be fortunate/ enough to have a majority of the popular vote jn that Slate, it will be no criterion of the result in November. Thp “Old Dominion’ 1 will stand firm for Van Durcn. Virginians arc not apt to lose sight of measures io (be great National struggle. / ' ' ;

From the very nature of things, this vast monopoly, with a capital of $35,000,000, epu'd not have become a Suite institution. A single Staid, with.'morc than a'sufficient number of State banks already in existence, could not have furpished employment for its immense capital. It yrould have starred within such narrow limits. Did it, in point of fact, confine Us operations to Pennsylvania! No,sir; it aspired to regulate the currency and exchanges dftbevwtiotc Union.' This was the high political duty to the performance of which it proclaimed itself destined. To .{ell me tbattbis Rank all aV once changed its character and became a nie/o State institution, merely because it bad received a charter from the the Legislative ot Pennsylvania, is to deny the evidence of our own senses. Was hot tin} currency issued under the new charier, as well as that under the old, declared, in 1S30, to be.’ the beat currency which the world had‘ever seen! Bid not the new notes command the same premium, all over the Union, with the old -oitcs; and would they not siill continue to command the same premium if it bad not fallen—fallen ‘from its high estate!

Ox. Dit.—It is thought that Mr. Durbin,the nominee of the federal whig party in this county for Representative, will decline the‘nomination. Hr; Durbin is at present absent bn a trading excursion to the South, but we learn will be home in a few days. It would be hard if (he feds had to hold another convention, and put Milling to iho trouble of coming all the way.from Lawrcnceburgh again tq report the proceedings. ■ ‘ '

This address was received by the Democracy present with: the most enthusiastic evidences of approbation arid delight; the venerable orator having been' repeatedly interrupted- by the loud and hearty chcerings of his audience. TliO nominating committee, at the conclusion of this address, having agreed on a report, recommended the following officers, who were thereupon unanimously appointed by tho Convention. President,

“Who ore the true * | ’ Asks iho Richmond (Va.) Whig. ' One would suppose that tho editor of Whig, <aod the federal whig party generally .throughout the Union, would answer “7/arriionami Tyler," and they no doubt would so answer—but gentle reader, let us for a moment reason <jn, this subject. To commence then;..General risorfj lbe fedcral whig candidate for. President while Governor of Indiana Territory, approve# and signed a bill which' enacted thaV a person to be entitled to vote, should “be pouestedofand own fit fee simple fifty acres o/Jand, worth at least one hundred dollars." fle also approved'of and gave his sanction to a law, which'enacted, thaV *• when any person, or persons shall on convic- “ lion of any crime, or breach of the penal (aw, “ be sentenced to pay a fine or fines, with or with“out costs of prosecution, it shall and may be “lawful for the Court before whom such conric- “ lions shall be had, order Ike Sheriff to “ SELL or hire the person'or persons so convict- “ ed, to service, to any person or persons who will i( pay the said fine and costs, S(C,” .

John Tyler, the federal whig candidate for Vico President, while a member of the Convention to revise or amend the Constitution of Virginia, in 1820, was opposed to the poor man enjoying the tight bf suffrage—be was opposed to the people having tho privilege of electing their own GovcrDor-rrho was opposed Sheriff’s being elected by tho people. What say you citizens of this free and happy land, to such republicanismt? - Can you, will coma up in the majesty of your strength to tho ballot box, and,

Why, sir, it because, in fact, more a Bank of the United States after it received its Pennsylvania charter than it had ever been before. . It bought up Slate banks and converted theta into branches, in Louisiana and in Gcbrgia; and it shot, out its branch agencies over the whole Uo;on, In New York it has established a branch bank, under their Ireo banking law. <

Mr. Egglcitou’s Appointments.

It will be seen from a notice in another part fit out paper, that J. C. Ecclestos, nominee of the federal whig Convention of this coonty for State Senator, has made his appointments in the several 'townships, and will commence the campaign by making his first speech at York, on the 30ih inst. ,

Satan reproving Sin.

The Editor of. the (tcacon is trying to make l)ic,public believe that lie prints'a decent paper, and t/lathohas never prostituted (be dignity of Hie Press.V He has'been reading a lecture to neighbor Stev.cns of the Vcvay Times, about the dignity of his station, and talking about bis Vscurrilpus” remarks, 'after calling him a ‘‘ttliifiU,” "ill-bred and unmannerly,” and then breaks out .as follows; •

Since its new charter, not content with the whole Untied Slates as the theatre of its operations, "it has established an agency in England, and aspired * to beard the lion in the deni” and to become the rival of the Bank of England in London itself. It scorned to confine itself to banking operations atone; but has invaded the province of the merchant, and had attempted to monopolize and regulate the tvhdfo cotton trade between Europe and'this country. And yet this Bank is now said to be a mere Pennsylvania institution:

. Mr, Eggleston speaks of "sundry charges” having been made against him and industriously circulated through the county since hts nomination. Of theso charges he specifies but which, in substance, is that of an attempt to make him out an advocate of the presenter some other system of internal improvements. Now wo were not before .aware of this charge having been preferred against Mr. Eggleston by any of the democratic party in this county, and indeed if such be the case wc conceive it a great piece of folly in him who made it, We presume it cannot but be familiarly known to every citizen of the county that Mr. Eggleston has, in sentiment, always been decidedly opposed to the measure of AigA taxation and rpiu imposed upon the people of this. State; and with the solitary instance of liis supporting the Internal Improvement candital the last Gubernatorial election, wo know tught of hia ever having in the slightest defavored the system, or being any way accesin bringing it about, as his acts while a memjf the Legislature will plainly, show. We should as soon attempt to prove a negative, as endeavor to make this appear otherwise;—hence the folly and little import of the charge, if indeed such charge has realty been made. While upon this subject, wo should neglect the July we owe to the individuals composing- the 'democratic Convention, were wo to pass by without notice ;heungenerous remark of Mr.T3ggleeton, that I c “was'not permitted ’* to complete his reply to Co . TihbattsOn that occasion. It would he giiovou i to us. indeed, Were the democratic party," in their primary meetings and conventions; to deny tlui opposition the privilege of .taking

i ."There are’many .other editors of loih'polilicol pariits, whosccourso towards each other is but too well calculated to bring reproach upon the profession, and detract much from'.the influcflccsnd usefulness of the Press.”

A fine main, indeed, if Milton Gregg, to talk , fn thid wise—an -editor who' has gone further and dpnc more to "bring reproach upon Uie profession,,and detract from the influence and usefulness of the Press,’’.than any Editor within our knowledge. 1 ,AV,tfo has .forgot that '.‘common . blackguard,” "liar,” and other similar, words, were in common use with him! And who does not now see in his paper more abusa than [is contained in any other sheet in the country? .And yet he sets himself up to leetore btlicrs for doing what be is guilty of himself! | Is it not like Satan reproving sin? Let him take (he beam out of his eyes,' and reform himself, before ho ever presumes to lecture others.—-Drurioni Demo oral

Now, sir, how has It succeeded in the task which it imposed upon itself—of regulating the bank-issues, and the foreign and domestic exchanges of the Union] In little more than one year after its charter from Congress had expired, whilst in all respects it was under the same government, and continued to pursue the very same course of policy that it had done, before it becarao'insolvent, and.suspended specie payments with less than one million and a half of gold and silver in its vaults, or less than one dollar fur twenty-three'of its capital, to meet all of its liabilities. Their amount at the lime I do not recollect at present, nor have 1 the means of ascertaining in my possession.

Enquirer, and tins pertinently adds, “If ibera is a man among ibem who can tell what they aie.'by tbeir common principles, be is a wisely man than Solomon. In Virginia, they are a, consociation of old EecJrralijls, with all tho arrogant, aristocratic and boasting upstarts' spumed up in tbc land of our fathers by an age of paper and stockjobbing—a race, claiming all the wealth anil all the intelligence;,bragging that they monopolize all the speaking talents and all the eating and drinking talents, while they condemn tho working talent—a race, who, while some of them live in palaces with marble steps,, mahogany doors andsilver knockers, and champaign like water, modesty affect great admiration fur the old fanner that lives in a fog* co&m and drinkt “hard cider and *pottum. tod~

Now, sir, 1 would ask the Senator, is there the least reason to believe that if this bank had con* 1 tinned to be the depository of the public revenue until May, 1837, thal its fate would havo been jivefted, or that we should not then had a general suspension of specie payments? Why, sir, the public.deposito would only have added fuel to the flame; and would have tempted the Hank to'engage in still wilder speculations. The overbooking and overtrading of 1836, which were conducted under its auspices,'would have become still greater—the expansion would have {jean stijl more extravagant—tho bloated credit system, which enabled us in that year to import foreign merchandize to the amount of nearly one hundred and ninety millions of dollars, might have raised our imports up to two hundred and fifty millions; and tho catastrophe which foliowgd would have been still more dreadful. ■ - [to be comtinued.}
