Uur notice of this paper, both now and hereafter, nifl ki for no other purposethan to on-

the real designs of be political traders vfbo raannpo the concern'. Fertbe ostensible o*ncr, we have never entertained any other feeling than thqs* of contempt and scorn—for the individoal who is raid to control it, we would be wanting In eoortety to denounce him sn adcance. We know that he it a Granger, and, at tuck, ii entitled to respectful treatment, except »o far at be hat forfeited the good opinion of tho»e who would "nothing exteuuate, nor aught set down in malice." Noscitur a Sonis" it a. proverb which applies to him, and with a double force, became, unfortunately for himiclf, he if not only foond in the company of bad men, but even lends himself to their baie designs. A prudent man he it not, in thus exposing himself to the •baft* levelled «t prodigate political conduct, and at vice* which have been the theme of remark long before he bad redeemed himself from tbs situation of a sophomore at tho Military Academy—that "nursing mother1' of young "ariitocratt." Admitting, then, that every allownee should be made for this young man's unfornate political connexion—that we should .teeat with lenity his inexperience—his wnnt of ^Jpjitical tact-—hit ignorance of the character nod standing of those who surround him—we say, after all these things are considered, we think it not unfair to hold him responsible for his oten conduct, and for those sentiments which have been promulgated thiotigh tho columns of his paper. We know, indeed, that "N. Bolton'* claims to have a "controlling influence" over the

Democrat, or in other words, to direct the writing editor how far he shall go, but we have too high an opfntttn of Mr. V. A. to suppose that he Would subject the "control" of his intcllcct, to the niYe discrimination of that learned Thcban! Can it be that Bolton exercises "controlling

iulliienee"—«that he and not tho New York student, fives tone to that portion of the public sentiment within the reach of the Democrat's influence) 1* true that the tunn of tha "flexible

world ef Indian®, thai H« is, indeed, tho-ehief conservator of the party he once donomtced? Hat tha wiling editor really resigned himself, without a struggle, to the "controlling influence of man so deservedly contidcrcd t^eneath the lowe*| itatidard of probity and genint? Has he left the "empire Stato" for no other purpose than to learn wisdom at the feet of this political Gatiiplial!—to bend a genius, which firtt bloomed at National Institution, to the sway of a man whose very visage denotes- a stupid and barren intellect I We do not believe these things V—w# reject them inorcdible, and »hall speak of Mr. Van Aif^verp as the editor of the paper, •above a "controlling influence,'' and, we doubt -not, exercising all tike prerogatives which a commission from the Albany Regency has given him, in teaching the pobr ignurant and misguided ^People the true path to political perfection!

Having preferred a charge of "scurrility" n» „•vgainst us, for Defending ourself against tho oftrepeated attacks of those whose political and mitral degradation we have triumphantly exposed, it may not be considered uncivil in us to pt»*^ry off this blow, by a brief rcfetenoe to his own columns. In doing this, we e*pect to shew that shuuld be the latt man to make such a charge against any individual, and Specially, as in this

Instance, against one who can proudly defy him •to produce any proof to snstain It, unlets it tut* in reply to unprovoked and tcanton atlask, and in reference to men who forfeited all claims to 6»r» bearance or courtesy. In speaking as we did of twcA individnaltfWe always held ourselves respon* sible to snch usages as wounded honor, or the laws, should teem to require* as we hope ever to do, whon we condescend to use harsh language, Itowerer deserved it may he.

We have Mid that Mr. Van. A. should be the ^ait man to prefer a charge of "sourrility.'*—. but yet a tyro in the profaeeteis he give* •videoce of nptitwde in that very degrading part »f it, eeaential ia a U*o Regency «d*«r.— %Vh«ther from a want of ««»PH»en or of ktiowltrig*, we And the columns of the Democrat teem kith terwelw jargom cant phrase*, and a wiperabundance of the most filthy abase, againtt seme •f the best ami most illustrious patnots—men wbo, KMwrl by the intellect of Aw most exnlt* •d political divinity, ttaads at aa immeasurable distance above 4be shafts of hi* vindictive asraults.

The systtMn now adopted, by the Albany Re gency, of sending political missionaries to the Wett, is, in itself, intuiting to the pride of every independent anil reflecting citizen. Not long tince, a young tprig of Aristocracy was looated at Cnlmnbu?, Ohio, for the purpose of imparling political light to the good people of that State, and of manufacturing "public sentiment" for the Regency presses at the North! Pretses are bought up, at extravagant prices, out of the eon tingent/und of tho party—men of known profligacy in politics, without nny settled views, are hired tp edit them—paid ao much, for doing so much, like some sturdy attassin employed to butcher for a certain stipend! These men, with a reprehensible lack of all modesty, are not ashamed, at the very outset, to interfere in local elect+ins—to abuse and villify thote of whom they can know nothing, save from the report of interested persont—to misrepresent the State of parties—to raite the cry of opposition to those who arc exerting themtelves for the protperity and glory of the State, and, finally, to denounce at unworthy men who repeatedly had the seal of the People's confidence placed on their political conduct! This is peculiarly the case of the Democrat concern. After a residence of oue short month in Indiana, we find its new editor' launching into State politics with the flippancy of an old and experienced citiien—we find him engaged in petty intrigues to have Mr, Van Burcn nominated by the late Convention— we find him misrepresenting the state of parties in the Legislature we find him lending himself to the superior malevolence of men of abandoned character, whose contact would soil purity itself—we find him attacking

It appear* thnt popular discontent rose so high that vast numbers of citizens abandoned Buenot Ayers, and repared to the oat-fide partv, which soon amounted to 7000 men, well armed, whilst the government bad only abont 500 men, very badly mounted. In this ttate of jbiags jov. Balcarce addremed a note to the legislature, Soliciting advice.. They returned an answe&MHne what equivocal, bnt containing an oblique hint for him to resign. He rejoined and said,

was retolvrd to abide by their advice, and even to resign, if their honorable body, thought |t advisable."

Without waiting for further formality, the legislature immediately voted to contider bis suggestion at a resignation—and addressed another note to his Excellency, acquainting him that they Aad accepted hit resignation! They next proceeded without loss of time to elect a new Governor, when General Viamont received 17 votes, and' general Pinto, the Speaker of the -House, 12.

The

uhe

former being declared elected,

waa ordered to appear before the House immediately to take tba usual oath, which he did at once, and entered opon the active duties of bis office. Having taken possession of the f»rt, be despatched a communication to General Pinedo, the bead of the insurgents, informing him of the state of things in the city, and received for reply that the armed citizens without the walls rejoiced at the election of General Viamont, and would cherfully yield obedience to any commands that he might issue.

The nex day abont one Huudred officers of Balcarces' went off to the schooner of war Saradi, and having made Capl. Wilder prisoner, got her under way and decamped. The Captain wrote back to the Captain of the port, stating that he was a prisoner, and the officers required him to land them at Colonia—on the Baada Oriental. It was exnected that the vessel would be returned.

On the 7th of Nov. about five thousand of the outside tioopsentered the city and marched to the Palaza de la Victoria where they sainted the new Governor, and afier making a vrand display, those of thom who were soldiers repaired to their respective quarters, aud the citizens lo their houses and avocations. "Our present Governor," says the latter, "is an old patriot, universally beloved, and oue, who, though firm, is inclined lo peace. The selection which he has made for his ministry cannot be belter— Garcia for finance and Government, and Gen. Gnido for War and Foreign affairs. General Mancilla, Chief of Police, Gen. Pinedo, Inspector General, aud Col. Ripora, Captain of the Port. Thus has ended the most systematic and orderly revolution which has ever taken place. 1 call it a revolution because a legitimate government has been compelled to abdicate by the torrent of public opinion,and we are now likely to enjoy the sweets of peace for some years to come.

RERREBENTATIVES JAN. 21, 1834.

Messrs. Gales & Seaton will please afford me a corner of the Intelligencer, to correct an erroneous impression sent abroad, in the reported Speech of a very useful and distinguished Senator. It is sent forth, that Mr. Webster (the Senator alluded to.) said, on yesterday, thnt the rontideration of a proposition **to create a new Bank" (a Bank to correspond essentially with its name—a National Bank,) "hat not been brought forward in Congress," and he adverted to the outline of such an institution recently proposed by a gentleman in the Legislature of Massachusetts. Now, it is known (but not to the honorable Senator,) that a ptoposition, somewhat different from that of Massachusetts, in it* contemplated provisions, for the creation of turh an inttitution, was presented by me to this House of Congreit some weeks ago and it yet remains to be reported upon by the committee to which it waa referred.

led to promote, without reference to the existing porate establishments for individual gain, under tne United States or separate authoiities, lam one of the many who do not think that money should be authorized to be made, at small co!t, for the profit of a few men. I doubt the constitutionality (under the Constitution of tha United States,) of State corporation] to istue paiter money, more than I do that oi the Bank powers stowed upon a corporation by the United States and I do not think the stockholders of the existing United Slates Bxnk entitled to any exclusive right to hold stock in a new Bank. Indeed, I think the States add the»L'nitcd States should be the sole stockholder!, and that the Legislative power of the Union, and of the States teverailv, to the amount of ttock each may potaess, should influence the institution and benefit by its business. When such an institution be provided for, I shall then believe that indiviilhal corporations, acting under the authority of Congress, caonot be too ttrongly reprobated, or too speedily reformed, and the establishment of such a safe substitute, in protpeclive. I conreive to be an imperious duty, at this moment devolving upon Congress.

I have said enough to correct the error in the published report, and 1 had intended nothing more at present but it may be proper here to add, (at my views have hern misrepresented in tome of the newspapers,) that I conceive a general currency to be required by the people—demanded of Congress, whose powers art defined—and not to be dispened with, if public good be consulted I do not believe the local bondage under Tr$i*ury regulations of State Banks, and the local credit of such Banks for the extended intrestt involved, can be jong sanctioned, I do believe, aa we are one people in the eye of the lawt of the Union, at we have one standard of value, so we should have, for general purposes,a uniform circulating medium: and that the constitutional enactments, required for this purpose- are dear and imperative.

Horn or KinttBtftTiru, Jan. 99,1834. Sir: You have, herewith, a bill, this day laid upon our table, in relation to the National Road and, for the mfortnnlioh of all, 1 uppend the substance of an amendment 1 shall offer, when in order, to hasten the erection of a bridge over the Wabash at

TOUI

You know, suspicions of mjr views, in this particular, were propagated, very unfairly, be fore the August Election: and my conduct shall now £e known, to prevent their recurrence.

Oppressed, as I find myself, with individual claims, 1 have had no time to answer many of the letters addressed tome: my public duties demand,jny first care, and nil hu&ineis matters require my first attention. If every moment of my time were devoted to reading letters, and answering them,I could not gratify all. 1 piesume my peculiar position, in the delegation of our State, is the chief cause of this and 1 shall satisfy all, as far as possible, in due time.

The Mail Route from Terre-Hrtute, through Bedford, to Louisville, will be established,'or, at least, reported by the committee, in the bill of this session: and I am sanguine, we sh'tl! have an appropriation hllowed to improve the navigation of the Wabash, and a survey of the White rivers authorised. The present Postmaster General, is hostile to any increase tf the expense of his department: but lb it course, will, I think, in a short time hence, be "reformed." Tho Mails, no, nor the Post Office Department, should never be allowed to the fluctuating policy of parlisans~the whole people are concerned, and when aspirants and avowed partisans are allowed to control that' department, public interest must be sncriticed. The existing evil will soon, hope, be radically corrected.

I discover, while the "Democrat," (*o cailcd) at Indianapolis, opens a degrading fire upon me (yet in sly deceitfulness) for interfering with the pending question of a National Currency—other papers, in the hollow accent of designing schemers, are lauding one of my colleagues for "opening his mouth'' in Congress hall I Now, it is strange, if I cannot interfere without censure, and another, not better qualified, can be praised for a like course. 1 have no time to write speeches for publications *1 have no interest, director indirect, in a press to echo my views, and I will leave my cour?e, when made known, to operate as an antidote to the base inuendoes of a mere hireling. The Legislatures ofPenns) Ivania and MassHchusetts have now under consideration propositions for a National Currency and Mr. WSBSTKR, in the Senate, has avowed his iniention to resort ton new Bank, if the existing institution cannol be rendered satisfactory, la all this, as Ritchie, of the "Richmond Enquirer" says, "preposterous?" On the contrary, if the proceedings of the Legislature of Virginia be consulted, in connection with the proceedings of the two States I hnve adverted to, that same Ritchie and his fallen "Enquirer," will sink into merited contempt, for rnisr* presenting facts, and attempting lo impose upon the credulous. I am

mainly approved by a majority of my constitu ents, and 1 shall f.iithfully represent tlicir views asfat-aslhe constitution will permit: but know., let the policy of the administration be as it may, the people nyint a safe and general currency, and they want their roads and rivers improved and my voice shall never be raised for a party of oflice-hoiJcrs, opposed to such salutary measures. If the people approve of men, heedless of, or indirectly opposed (o urging such measures, then they "should cease to desire their udoption but I know, when propeily understood, the people will not approve of such men—they will look to measures. .jgifoti observe by the proceedings, that (afier consultation)Mr. liannegan has moved to muk» Lafayette a port of entry. If this can be done, the river below avoids the doctrine of the Veto Message, and Terre lluutcand Vinccn ccs, nnd other intermediate points will benefit. It is believed the farther the fiistpoint is established in the interior, the better—all the points below,will become marls of commerce & enterpnze. The object is to secure an appropriation to the river,and not to say thnt Ln/aycite is the natural point between internal aod external commerce. We must agree to shape our measures to the existing state of things, and therefore the motion was made.

About 80,000 actes of the Canal lands lying in Ohio,\fare improperly disposed of, anc: will be secured by having leave lo select others in lieu thereof, (on the margin of the Canal) fron. the alternate sections reserved by the States.

In relation to the Bank question, now pend ing, as far as the deposites are concerned, doubt the policy of restoring them to a Bink whose charter will expire in two years,as much as I doubt the policy and propriety of the orderof the Treasury Department for withdraw ing them. Unless tha charter of the U. S. Bank be renewed, the credit of that institution, however justly merited, will not be restored to a general confidence, in the short period it can now exist—and although I am conscious, that no State Bank credit can be safely extended (even the most valid) to supply a necessary substitute for the general wants of the country, and the purposes of the Government, still lam willing, if wrong has been done, to compeo sate the Bank for the J05?, arid let the experiment demonstiate the evil. It is true, we had experience, and no party speculation should have been allowed to set it aside, but as mat ters now stand, I fear the return of the depotites would destroy many State Banks#uin many upright men in time, and increase the prevailing pressure for money, unless the time of the charter be extended, aod that is oat of the question.
