MORE CHANGES.

While on a visit, lately, to some of the counties above, we were gratified to learn that a very striking change ha. been effected against the present Administration. were shewn a list of some fifty or nxly names, all of them highly respectable, who had signed a recantation of their sapport of General JACMOX, declaring, for reasons set forth, that the best interests of the country required their abandonment of him.

The "PATRIOT AKO SHIELD," published at

Philadelphia, will be edited hereafter, by JA*M HOLLAIU*, ESQ. and published by the eld proprietor, Mr. JOHN YOU MO. Mr. Hallahan is spoken of, in tbe eastern papers, as a fine scholar, and one under whose guidance it is likely to become still

tice of the change: TO THE PI'BLIC. Tho circumstances that placed roe the attitude of Proprietor and Editor of the PATRIOT & SHIELD, are so well known to my countrymen and friends, that I may be excused from adverting to them, further than to make my acknowledgements for the generous and liberal support I have experienced from those who knew the peculiar position I had been forced into and Who could not look upon it with indifference.

The increasing business of the office renders it neccssary that I should place the Editorial department of the PATEIOT AND SHIELD under the special supcrintenduncv of another person—for this purpose I hftve the pleasure to announce to the public, ttut future, the Patriot and Shield will be edited by Mr. JAMEI UOLLAIIAN,B geiitlcrons of distinguished literary attainments and great respectability.

Agreeable to public notice a large and respectable number of the citiiem of Decatur county, Indiana, convened at the court house, in Greensburgh on the 1st of Sept. 1832, to take into consideration the measures of the present administration, especially in relation to the United States Bank.

The meeting was organized, by calling James Freeman, Escj., to the chair, •nd Win. B. Ewini', and And. Robison, Sen. appointed secretaries.

On motion of Dr. A. M. Teal, the meeting was opened by Dr. Johnson reading Washington's farewell address.

The followirg resolutions were read and ably supported in an cl«K|Hent speech by John Test, jr. Esq. and unanimously adopted: 1. Rewired^ That in the opinion of thu meeting, the people of tho United States hate good reason to thrust from their confidence and mipport, the present Chief Magistrate, who has, upon all occasion#, manifested an utter cantempt and disregard for the best interests and tbe prosperity of the country. 2. Resilredi That we view th© untiring •xertions of Gen. Jackson's political friends, •nd their appnrent determination to support him right or wrong, as the espirin? struggle of the office-holders and seekers to delude the hone«t freemen of the country into a dangerous subserviency to their views, and servile assertion, that he WHS born to command.M 3. Retolvedi That we consider the alarming stretch of power which tbe Executive has recently assumed his total disregard of the constitution and laws, and the spirit of revenge, and mnuevolence which seems to pervade every official act, a* dangerous to our institutions, and a direct encroachment upon the rights and liberties of the people. 4. Rtttlvtd. That in the opinion of this meeting, the President's veto «ron the hill rechartering the United States Bank, was not only a violation of solemn pledges, but it will bring destruction upon mercantile and trading interest* of the country it will close the market* against the produce of the farmer $ it will derrive the lab trerofthe means of rapport, and in the west it will compel the immediate payment of thirty millions of dollars: and deprive us of the capital to do it with, thereby producing general bankruptcy, and distress amongst all our enterprising and indnstrions citiiens. 5.

for le

purposes aforesaid, and that Janies Lewis, John Shanklin, John W. Lilliston, Robert M. and Alanson Warner, compose said committee ana that they have power to fill any vacancies in their own body which may occur by death, resignation, or otherwise.

The attention of the meeting was then called to the propriety of petition ing the next Legislature to mcmoral.ze ongre?* for the passage of a aw to establish a Hospital at Evansville, for the benefit of sick watermen who as cend and descend the Ohio ri\tr an its tributaries. The. Chairman briefly explained to the meeting that a num ber of towns on the Ohio and^ Musis sippi rivers, had petitioned Consrres for the same object, claiming thei points as suitable site?. That none had so great a claim as the one now proposed. That he believed the day was not far distant when Hospital wouU he established from NcwOrlcan to Louisville at a distance not to excee 200 miles, and at such points as the Gc neral Government in their wisdom micht deem most useful. That was authorized in the assertion that more passenger? landed at Evansville than any other point. That the number ascertained to have landed for the last 5 or (5 years, had nvcraued from three to

thousand annually, nearly all of whom were destined for the Wabash and White River countries, and on their return from the Southern market. That many, very many of those passengers arrived at Evansville in extreme ill

health,

destitute of friends, and often

destitute of money. That many are left in a

low

condition wholly depend­

ent upon the charity ot the citizens.— That although he felt proud and justified in sayinc that that charity had never been withhold vet, it operated a a severe tax upon the humanity as well ns the purse ot our citizens. But aside from these considerations it is impossible for a small village just emerging from the wilderness, to furnish such accommodations, medical aid, and other nccessarv attendance, as tne necessity jof these numerous cases require. It was therefore,

The Bank may take loans of the State, or negociate for them.under such arrangements as may hereafter be settled Jay the Legislature and Bank.

The foregoing hasty sketch

ces features of

In everv stipulation of a charter, three objects must be kept in view.— The first is the loan. And this cannot be had with the faith of the State pledged, high as Us credit undoubtedly stands, unless the object for vhich it is a-ked be feasible, and the means for earning it forward practical and s.ife. A charter, therefore, must guard against political influences and changes and for this purpose, as well as to secure the zeal of interestedness in the profitable management of the Bank, it5 stock must be divided with indivi-

unh.

and principal, for the full

of the note be required, as if

such deduction had not hern rrndc. In case any subscriber fails to pay the instalments on stock, as required, within five year*, from any cau-e, the dividends of profits accruing to him shall be held and credited to his stock account, and suit not be brought on his mortgage, until after the lapse of five' years. Persons failing to pnv instalments, to be ineligible to a Directorship, and their names not to be received as competent endorsers on notes, unless 30 per cent, of his stock, by agree ment with the Bank, be paid out of such endorsed note, or a rrenter amonnt, if 20 per cent, shall not make up his stock account.

The second object, and as important as anv, is the perfect security of the late, in contracting a loan for Ihi# purpose. Thata plan can be devised, socure to all, no one doubts. Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and perhaps other States, are successfully operating under charters which involve the faith of those States. Indiana can do the same, with equal benefit to her citizens provided the security of all concerned is duly regarded, in enactments on the subject and, in general, that kind of charter which will secure loan, and satisfy the purchasers of the bonds-of the State, nrav be considered a safe plan. Tho outlines above arc thought to compas3 these objects.

Every feature of a charter, or any other law authorizing a loan, will be closely scrutinized—its practical effects in every aspect, will be ant ci pated, inquired into, and understood, before a dollar can be raised. The people, through their representatives, may fix on some plan better calculated to succeed, in all its bearings, than the project indicated but regard must be paio totnese principles.

The third object which should, perhaps, huve the place ol the first, of consideration in the matter, is the necessity or utility of a Bank^ nl this or nny other tim*. Although money is scarce, and, in a new country, where so many objects present for its investment,must be

8

o^—although money is not now to be had on the

best

securities, it should

not lead to the creation of a fictitious circulating medium. It should be no part of our object to create an institution to increase the value of property beyond its capacity of yielding revenue or interest. Every measure and movement calculated to have that

eTect, is delusive, and leads to rum. The object should be, and in nil civilized countries, it has been, to create institutions for the relief of exigencies, temporary embarrassments— to make property available at about value—to prevent sacrifices by extending the means of relief, on sufficient security, at fair terms.

for temporary purposes, are made at about the average of these premiumsThe State of Indiana has also commercial importance—extensive exchang* es. Her shipments ol pork, flour, &c. are becoming very imposing. To get these to a distant market, requires facilities which at present are obtained from a distance, and by far too limited to insure a spirited demand, or fair price, for our commodities, while at the same time, that which is done is necessarily thrown into the hands of strangers. Who of our own citizens thinks of competing with the people of Ohio, in the purchase and driving of cattle? Who among us can purchase twenty or thirty thousand dollars worth of pork, and wait for a change of mar fet! No One dreams of such enter jrises. A citizen of Ohio gets his oan, visits Indiana, buys up his drove. javs in Ohio Dotes, takes it to the east, makes a convenient market as to time, deposits the money to the credit of his bank, and returns to enter again upon the same trade. So it is with pork, and every article of which a large quantity, suited to distant markets, are to be had within our borders. They are all bought up bv visitors, (and we want more of them but shall we not do apart of these things ourselves, or, at least, have the facilities of doing hem, as others have?

NECKER.

FROM TUB BOSTON COURIIR. ANTI-JACKSON MEDICIVEi A cheap and certain cure for jackson:sm

This medicine i3 composed entirel) of Common Sense and Reflection in qual parts two grains taken any time in the day, will elfect a cure, in all cases where the ruling passion of the pa tient is self interest, unless he be aca pitalist or an office holder or seeker under the present Administration, In which case,one grain of Disinterestedness must be added. The medicinc may be. found in any placc in the Union^ where common honesty prevails. Of its wonderful effects, thousands of certificates might be obtained in New

York, Pennsylvania, nnd other places, but the following shall suffice:— The undersigned having contracted the disease termed Jacksonism, a disease of the mind that prevented that reflection usually attendant on worldly affairs, and having been frequently congratulated and caressed by office-holders, and their immediate friends, who affected to consider the disease a blessing, I rested perfectly satisfied (o bear it, till recently, when, on hearing of the above named medicine, a thought struck me, that owing to its simplicity, it could do no harm. I was therefore induced to try it, and I am happy in being able to say an immediate cure was effeccd. Its operations, which were entirely on the mind, ana which were facilitated by reading the President's Bank Veto message, 1 beg leave to state for the benefit of those laboring under the same complaint. On taking the dose it immediately occurred to my mind to examine the Jackson doctrine which I did, and will point out some of its leading features, and the results which were presented to uiy mind, as necessary to follow, if that doctrine i* sustained.

The doctrine teaches reform nnd economy, but spends many millions more of Uncle Sam's money than the preceding administration.

It deprecates executive patronage, but discards 1400 officers, mostly good ones, to make room for 1400, many of them bad ones, but who were loud, and must still be loud, (or lose their places.) in huzzas for Jackson—whereas no former administration ever discarded more than 40.

It deprecates the scrvice of anv individual as President, for more than one term but strives hard to elect the present incumbent for another.

It extols pure republicanism, but says that no laws should be made, unless recommended by the President and if they are made he i« not bound to enfoijjp their execution. The result of whi?n must be a liability to tyranny or no government at all.

It has a scnipuloug regard forlhe spirit of the Constitution, but explains a way every part of this instrument cal eulated to benefit any portion of the community, except office-holders, and capitalists.

It condemns the United States Bank and the protective, system, allcdging that they are calculated to increase the wealth of the rich at the expense of all others whereas the reverse is evidently the fac*. Therefore 1 conclude that this allegation is made by Jacksonism. with a view to effect on that portion of the community who neglect to think for thcmsel/es knowing that if the interests of the people generally are rendered suhservient to that of the capitalists and office holders, the people themselves must be made dupes to effect

Now I know that wool, food and labor constitute the cost of cloth and I am satisfied that manufacturers,owing to competition, do not. and when machinery is fairly protected, cannot, average large profit consequently, I care not how high cloth is, when I sell $470 and buy but $30 worth, nor does any one need care, except capitalists and salary men, as everv branch of industry and enterprise partakes the bent fit of high prices.

It will be perceived that cloth may be cheap nt $1,50. Capitalists nnd taxes would swallow up a great portion of the wealth and industry of Ihc eountrv consequently there would be but little trade and less employment, for mechanics, briek-makcrs, lumber-men, and a host of others, who are now consumers of agricultural produce, hut who must become producers er starve where, would a market be found for our surplus at any price? Certainly not in foreign countries. They are iifU'tMy glutted with what we ive been in the habit of adding to their supply from other sources.
