One (act is worth a thousand assertion*. A thamng tkvp (or money lender) in New Tack* paid, out of bis own pocket, the aSiOSBt charged for printing ten thousand topics of the Bank Veto Mewage. Why did he do this? lie wants the Bank pat down. Why Because he can then loan money at 10, 30, and £0 per cent, whereas the Bank now compels him to loan it for lett, or not loan at all. He knows poor men mutt have money, and be knows, alto, that tbey will be compelled to pay him the interest he asks When the Bank goes down. This is tbe natorsi inference. Wilt reflecting men nerer see their true interests?

MAINE.—The annual election is just over in Maine. The returns for Governor indicate a treraenduous falling off from the Jackson ranks. Last year, Smith (the Jackson candidate) beat Goodeuow (Clay) up* wards of 6,300 votes. This year, Smith'* mnjority amount* to only 1200. The Jtennelec Journal is of opinion that the ten votes of Maine may be confidently relied upon for Clay and Sergeant. This is cheering news. The friends of correct principles are wide awake in the East.

and
to establish the fact that he played a double part towards Gen Jackson in that transaction. The reply of Mr. Lacock, however, places the General in an awkward predicament, while it completely vindicates Mr. Calhoun from the charges preferred against him.

His Majesty, Louis Phillippe and his family received the civil and military authorities of Compeigne at soon, on the 6th August. The Princess Louisa was surrounded by her sister*, who seemed deeply interested, says the report, as herself, in contemplating the approaching separation. At half pa4t three o'clock, their R. H. the Dukes of Orleans and Nemoura, accompanied by Generals Baudraud and Myrbot, Col. Beyer, and several othf officers,* ^(Iceeded on horseback to mtftst the King of (be Jjdgiap. The National Guard of Compeigne.^^1 tji 11th light infantry formed a double lin^'td'IreyoL.d the bridge, where a triumphal arch bad bees erected by the city, bearing the i»scriptifl| the City of Comp4igue to the King of th*JWgiuns.'* A second arch of boughs and Howf»r had been hastily erected by the marines, surmounted by their banner, adorned with tri-colored ribbands. Their R. H. went at a gallop to the village of Janville, one league at the route of St. Quentin, where tbey alighted for a short time. At half past four, King Leopold was seen advancing in a carriage, upon which they reniounted, and proceeded to meet him at a gallop, his carriage stopping. It was followed by six others and escorted by a party of Red Lancers. The King and the Princes alighted and embraced. The former got into a carriage of King Louis Phillippe, wTiich had been sent for the purpose, the Prince Royal had been seated on his left, and the Duke de Nemours in front. The procession then advanced amidst the acclamations of the people. The king was received by the Mayor and the municipality nt the foot of tho arcb. He entered the palace at a quarter past five, where he was received by the King of the French, who descended to meet him, surrounded by his aids and the officers of his household. After embracing, they ascended the grand stairs to the Ilall of reception, when his Belgic Majesty was received by Madame Adelaide, accompanied by the Princess Maria and Clementina, from thence they passed in the Salon de famine, where the Queen and the Princess Louisa expected them. His Belgic Majesty was accompanied by Gen. d'Aerschot, the Marquis of Chastelair, Gen. d'Hane, the Chevalier Solon, Count Felix de Merode, &c. The Moniteur add.«, that the Princes# Louisa left a touching remembrance and gracious augury of happiness to tho yoting women portioned by the king on the occasion of her marriage. She caused to be sent to the Mayor of Pari* aad Sub-Prefects of Sccaux and St. Dennis, crown* and bouquets of Orange flow* er«, to bo offered in her name to the sateen brides.

Several royal ordinances madoin July, are published in tho Moniteur. By one of them France is divided into forty Forest Conversations. There are arranged in three classes the salary of the rangers in the first being 9000 francs the second, 8900 in the third 6000. By another ordinance which recites that Fhe Jaws of the legislative government of the colonies did not come under discussion at the last session, and that there are several individuals in some of the colonies, entitled to freedom on various grounds, it is declared that any person wishing to manumit a slave, may make a declaration to that effect before a magistrate in the place of his residence. The mode of publication is prescribed, and the emancipation may be opposed by reasons assigned, at any time within six months.—The public minister may oppose it, on the ground that the subject, from age or infirmity, will be burthensome. All who are in fact free, runaways excepted, may demand emancipation through a patron, or the procur eur du Hoi.
The Oaaette de Prahrc in commenting on the foreign polit of England, and the ef forts of the English press to enlist France against the Germanic Diet, and the Great continental powers, observes that Englan! will take good care not to take part against the Diet, and that William IV as elector of Hanover, bntgratefully sanctioned the resolutions of the Germanic Confederation.
While the English press is thus urging France," continues the Garettee,44 it is curious to hear Lord Brougham declaring io Parliament, that the question of alliance with France, will nt all timfcs depend o^on particular existing circumstances—ami, as if this declaration was not sufficiently instructive to us, Lord Wellington defending, at the same time, William of Holland, aud Don Miguel, the Emperor Nicholas, aud all the sovereigns of Europe, as if to bring together the elements of a new coalition.
44
Thus should we yield to the impulse of the English press Lord Brougham'sadministration would give place to that of the Duke of Wellington, the English alliance would vanish, and a coalition directed by England would undertake the chastisement of France, for having accepted the liberal Don Quixotism with which the Times weald inspire ber.
We cannot too often repeat that the re&l enemies of France are the English spirit and the revolutionary spirit. Its true interests is a continental alliance against England."

TURKEY.
Corul&nstinoplc, July 7.—The town of Damascus having been always considered as forming apart of the holy places, his Highness has become unwilling that it should bebecorue the theatre of war and wishing to prevent the effusion of blood of believers, on the sacred territory, prohibited the erection thereof any fortifications. We mustexpect tc see Ibrahim proceed differently. Indeed the last advioes announce the capture of that towu by some of the troops which beseiged Acre. The Ottoman army is advancing under Hussein Pacha, in good order, and ag rapidly as the season permits.
The Ottoman Moniteur of 6th ult. announces'that Aadgi Nedgib Effendi, one of the Ministers of the Empire, who exercised the functions of Charge d'Affaires of the Viceroy of E^ypt, has been charged to proceed to the head quarters of Field-Marshal Hussein Pacha, to offer full and entire amnestry to those which have been led astray by Mehennt Alpand drawn among the rebels, but are convinced of their error, and are williug to returr^o obedience towards their Sovreign.
Alexandria, June 29.—'11 Ibrahim Pacha, who set out on the 8th inst. from the camp of St. Jean d'Acre, to march upon Damascus, entered the latter town on the 15th, ufteriiaving easily dispersed the troops which defended it. From Damascus the Egyptian army proceeded to Aleppo to occupy the pnsses through which the Ottomans must come, if they make any effort fur reconquering Syria. They have at this moment no other force* in that province than about 16,000 irregular troops encamped at Hamah. This camp fortified in great haste, will offer hut a feeble resistance and it is probable that Ibrahim will be at Aleppo towards the end of the month.
In that favorable position, master of Syrin, and nil the passes leading to it, at the head of an army of 56,000 men, possessing a numerous cavalry and an excelleut artillery, he will await Field-Marshal Hussein Pachn, who has been ordered by the Porte to exterminate the rebels of Mehemet Ali. To attain this end, the Porte it is true, could only send out with her General an army of from 25 to 30,000 men, well supplied with Pacha* it i* true, but without artillery, horses, war stores or provisions, traverse an immense extent of country destitute of resources and with out good roads. The Egyptian army at Da mascu* consists only of 30,0000 men, a divi sion of 20,000 having been detached to observe the camp at Iiamah. Two new regiments have left Cairo to join Ibrahim Pacba, whose army will then amount to 30,000 men.
As Ibrahim had been informed that the cholera, or according to others, the plague was making great ravages in the camp and town of Hamah, he applied for new instructions to Mehemet Ali, prior to his marching to Aleppo. Orders wrre immediately transmitted to him to march forward, as a Genera) should not bo arrested in tbe execution of his orders by the inclemency of the seasons, by diseases or other dangers.
The Egyptian squadron is still cruising off our port, waiting for the coming out of the Ottoman fleet, which it intends to encounter. The fourth ship of 100 guns will probably be ready to join the squadron in a fortnight. The Naval forces will consist of four ships of 100 guns, eight frigates, of which six carry 60 guns, 15 sloops, of brigs, six fire ships, and one steam vessel.

Ww •OiUAMt ATTG.£.—-Yertetriay tag a hares and a cart hpiangiag to a who had been is ths habit of soi oar vegetable market every morniag with vegetables, came to his sml stai^l without a driver. In this tbsfe was nothing particnlar, as the sagacity of ths horse, and ths frequency of toe jotraey had taught the brute its stand. Yet it did excite curiosity, inasmuch as so person had been eeen who had come with the cart.' Upon examination the haunches and back of the horse was found covered with blood, and the chair upset. The vegetables it appears, were not disturbed, and it was ascertained by persons who had been in tbe habit of being near the owner of the cart, that there was about ber usual quantity of vegetables, about $10 worth.— As soon as the blood was discovered, tbe commissary of the market directed the horse and cart to be taken to the guard house, and immediately gave information to tbe Mayor. He despatchwl one of the guard* to M. Dorillc, Syndic of tbe GestiJy road, on which road the owner of the cart lived, with instructions to ascertain whether she was dead or alive. About nine O'clock, Mr. Dorille returned an answer to the Mayor that he had found the body of Mrs. Frederick Fayat, for that was tbe name of the tiwner, ia tbe cornfield of Mr. Hopkins* plantation on the Gentily road, where it bad been thrown after assassin a tiun. Tbe coroner was immediately informed of tbe fact, and repaired to the spot to hold an inquest. The husband of the deceased could give no other information, for many years of leading home about midnight to go with her Mgvtables to market, and that she had no tnorttj with her, or in the house. It appears that the ot-frvnti* was immediately driven in, and a large gash, as if made by a picket, or some other sharp piecc of wood, bad been made over the lat't eye brow
As yet no traces of the murderer hare been discovered, but the police are on the alerts—We have heard it is said, that when the deceased was in the market on Monday morning last, she had been heard to say that she intended bringing to-morrow (yesterday) a large sum of money with her to bedeposi ted in the Bank. We give this information as we received it, as it is not improbable
FURTHER PARTICULARS.—A
person by the
name of Fayat, a German by birth, aud who has been a soldier in the U. S. service, had for the last sixteen months, been living with the debased. HdPwas bjSjfigbt up aud^X arnined bfefore the Mayovp&n Tuaadft noon, but could give no further than he had given to the Coron ted that the slaves belonging to were all good aud peaceable, had not been from ^|l|0iyibtfF night was requested to exagj&tijpe slaves a» soon as he got home, whic(^|pPiver be failed to do. However, to the exertions and perse verance of Capt. Penn the public are indebted for the discovery of the murderer. From some source or other he obtaiued information that about 3 o'clock in tho morning of tbe same day that the munltr was committed, a person of very tall appearance had beeu seen coming from the direction where the murder was supposed to have been committed, towards the dwellings of the deceased. Upon this he immediately repaired to the spot, and a few paees from the same, in a hole, he found the Madgeon with which the murderer had pcMetrated the deed. It was a stick about urea feet long, and 4 or 5 inches in diameter,*ith a large sharp head it has all thu appearances of having been very recently cut from the tree. It is stained with blood, and even 3 or 4 hair* of the deceased still adhered to the bludgeon apparently they are of a blood color. Capt. P. then repaired to the house of tbe deceased and wished to examine the negroes. lu the cabin of a mulatto man named Phillip, the individual now accused of tbe murder, were found a pair of pantaloons, which Mr. Fayat declared he had given to the said boy Philip. These pantaloous were carefully rolled up, but being unfoldud, exhibited fresh stains of blood, which was first hidden by discovery of the great quantity of dust which was on them. The mulatto man denied tbe charge of murder, also declared that be did not know where he put his coat to but on finding a soldier's groat coat, all torn to tatters, he declared it to be his. The Captain of tho guard took this fellow, another mulatto, and a mulattress, and brought them to the guard house. Euston is the name of the other mulatto boy—he declared that he bad seen the bludgeon with which it is presumed Mrs. p. was murdered that he had seen it on Sunday last, and that it was alongside Phillip's cabin, when Mr. F. passed by them that be Ejston came home about hulf past ten on Monday night, saw a person sitting before the cabin door, that he asked if it was Phil, and the person answered yes—he knew it to be Phil. He asked what be was doing there at that hour, and what he was about— —he said he was going on a tramp^|
It is proper that we should observe that there was another white person on the premises. One £fa//, who has lately been discharged from the United States array, and being present when the man gave bis testimony, we could not help paying attention to him, which was closer when he said that Phil, the mulatto, sectsed of the murder, had worked with him ia the woods, ^ii* answers were generally evasive, and why frequently contradictory, but when tbe bludgeon, stained with the blood of the woman, was exhibited to him, and he was asked if be ever bad seen the weapon before, he sighed heavily, and with a very faint voice, answered no. lie bad seen Philip have a stick, but did not know how he carried it, or what be carried it for, unless he was lame. It wasonly a few days he had seen bim with a stick, but could not say if that was the one or not. He bad seen him with the stick on Sunday. He also stated that Phil, went to work with him, as usual at daybreak, on Tuesday morning, while Fayat declares positively that he saw Hill go to work, but that Phi), was not with him. These contradictions, to say the least of them, are suspicions, and in such case of foul murdeir, they ought not to be an^jjred to exist. We believe that Pbiliip was t?e instrument used to remove Mrs. Dedr believe that indirect, that such an act wosld not be unwelcome to thrfee about her of km own color.

The Hank of the People.—The Un»K kS ed States Bank is in fact the "Bank j|| of the People." It neenmmodates the farmer on the cheapest term?—Joan* him money at the lowest rate of interest on the longest time. Why then this hatred onrthe part of the grent monied aristocrats of the country For a plain reason: because as longns tho bank is in existence, these men of overgrown wealth cannot lend their money at a high interest. The "Bank of th« country" stands in their way. What it 1 the natural consequence? Why, these |t men combine to put pown this bank they invent nil kinds of plausible pretexts to cover up the mnin design, which is to overthrow this Bank. If they should plainly avow their motives, they could not hope tosucceed therefore they profess nil reasons for their conduct but the real ©ne. Suppose ,, the object effected—the bank down*— the victory of the aristocrats achieved. What then? A monied fartioq will succeed and demand gber rates of interest and more grinding terms. Every village will have, as it has done, its little monied sovereign, who will rule with a rod of iron. Thin is one of the consequences of the breaking down of the bank* Be if remembered, toOf that no new bank of the United State* can be chartered wntii the charter o£ the present one expires in 1836.
DEMOCRACY OF ANDREW JACKSON. —Andrew Jackson was a member of the Tennessee Convention, and approved the exclusion from the Legislature of any man who did not pooess two hundred acres of land in hie owti right. The following article was propo*ea by a committee of which Andrew'Jackson was a member, as a part 0^ the Constitution of Tennessee: "All freemen of tbe age of twentyrone years and upwards, possessing a freehold in the county where he may offer to vote, and being inhabitants of this 8tatr and all freemen who have been inhabitants of any one county within the State six months immediately preceding tbe day of election, shall be entitled to a vote for members of the general assembly, for the connty in whiph they ha re iv el re id
Seven days after thi«, a member of the Convention moved that no person shall be eligible to a seat in the general assembly unless he hns resided three years in the State, and one year in the county immediately preceding the election, and shall pntsets in his own right, in the countv which he represents, NOT LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND." This motion was teconded bv ANDREW JACKSON, and pawed. Thus it would seem that the principles now in vogue in Washington, were long since adopted as the settled rules of the woatd-be-demot rat, who caus^t his official paper to prochim to tho American people that l»e was "born to command."—JV".

The pressure for money in otir Staff, is already extensively and severely felt. Every dollar which our merchants receive, is of neccssify carried out of the country and their demands are such that they will be compelled to collect their debts, allhoauh it may take from the Stnte every dollar of our circulating medium. The state of things begins most seriowly to alarm our reflecting citizens. Before Congress ca»* again act upon^he Bank question-—(and there are those who yet have a faint hope that Congrest will re-pass the Bank charter by a constiUMiooal mnpritr,) our country will be Involved in bankruptcy and distress. These facts st*re our citizens so fully the face, that even now we have heard it said that oar ncjt Lcgislatttre would panr a relief law! It it not time for the honest and patriotic portion of the community to j)^Sbr, and, if possible, to arrest this disastrous cooneof things, by a ctaoge of rukft?
