Another failure to a heavy amount occurred yesterday in this city, and we are sorry to add another equallyextensive to day. We meet now as we did in the cholera times, not to ask who is dead, but who has failed. We must submit to the decrees of Providence,but should resist oppression on the part of our rulers.—JV. Y.

Another Crash: There has been another calamitous failure to-day Wheie is the mischief to end? We know not. A'll .the advices from Washington to-day, aie of an unfavorable character. Nero is vet fiddling —totally indifferent and insensible to the sufferings of Rome.—JV Y. Commercial of Friday
From the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette Jan. 81. We learn with sincere regret, that there were seven heavy failures in New York on Wednesday. Three of them are for an aggregate of three millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

A WORD TO THE NATIONAL REPUBLICANS. Do you not feci that the Executive has, by fa«i too much power? Do you not see that by the patronage of the various deportments, and by the selections which he may make from the members of Congress to fill various offices, ho can and does exercise a most dangerous influence over the deliberations of that body? Do 'y»u not see that the people, even the wisest of them, may br deceived in fticir estimation of the individual chosen to be the Executive? and that, as soon as electod, he may trample on their rights, and find thousands to suppo't him? And do you not see that without a radical cure for this disease in the body politic, the Executive will become the controlling: power of the Government, absorbing all other pdwers? iTo these questions, the aoewcr will be in the affirmative. And so far as words go, we shall probably have no cause to complain of them but how will it be when it comes to action? Will they carry out the opinions which they now profess to entertain, and join the patriotic South in bridling Executive power, «od take fro mil some of its means of corruptiou?
The publie feeling is beginning to be excited, and if the prominent active individuals of that party do not discourago this feeling, great and important benefits may result from it. The present distresses, resulting from the usurpations of the Executive, ought not to be suffered to fude away from the public mind. They ought to be held up as a constant warning to the people, of what may result, and what most probably will always result from usurpations of power, injury, and oppression to the many, for the benefit of the few, Aud above al), it never ought to be forgotten that a usurpation so manifest and so hurtful, yet found warm and strenuous itefrnders.
This is the most alarming point of view, in which tbo present parsing scones appear- to us.— Not that it was unexpected by us, but that we should find so many honest, upright, good citizens carried along by the force of example, and by party spirit, to support men aftd measures which, in the calm, cool moments, and if left to themselves, they would desert and denounce. It shows us, that men ratty, through preconceived notions nnd party spirit, yield up their indepondcnce of thought to the designing nnd ambitious, playing upon the best passions of the heart. It g«^e!Bwt i»iuiiiwii' wrwiTOvwi mm when the tyrants and usurpers of former times, used one portion of the people to trample upon the other, and when those trampled on were sufficiently degraded, used them in turn to trample upon ail. It teaches us that we are not yet so pnre and so enlightened, that power cannot find corrupt instruments to aid in enslaving and deluding the ignortuit.
What, then, is the duty of the National Republicans. To lay aside all preconceivcd notions that may be hostile to these views, and set steadily to work to counteract and correct tbo dangerous tendencies in our system. The corrupt, and perhaps those bigotedly attached to previous theories, may oppose, but perseverance will succeed, or we must yield all the long-cherished hopes that the people are able to govern themselves.
The people coo govern themselves only by the adoption of a wise system such as our Constitutution and then acting within the limits of power agreed on. Every individual feels the necessity of subjecting his own feelings and actions to a fixed rule. If this it necessary for individuals, it is indispensibly to in Governments.
The political bigot may contend, in despite of what we daily sec and hear, that the Executive branch of the Government is loo weak, that its powers are too limited, its patronage too small, nod that all these must be increased, Or at least left undiminished, to enable him to resist the democratic tendencies of our political system. The corrupt parasite, who lives by fawning and flattery of those in power—who shines only in the corrupt atmosphere of a court, will join the cry and the bigot, favor of a strong Executive, will be united with the loudest brawler for "democracy." The one acting honestly through the force of prejudice, the other knowingly corrupt, and conscious that his democracy is assumed only the better to impose on the peo'ple.
But Jet Do man be trusted,who now talks of the weakness of Executive power and let none be trusted, who, while be has eternally upon Iris tongue, the "cause of democracy" a»»d tho 'good of the people,* is yet found the strenuous defender of Executive prerogative, aud warmly opposing all attempts to diminish the patronage of the Government.
A paragraph is going the rounds, headed in larjre capital*, On* no man anything This is fine talking, but how is it to be managed? tint's the qoeation.

"Jt'rxhery and Corruption."—The golden lares by which Jacksouism secures the services of weft, are now cleatly revolved. If Uierebeany who doubted, hitherto, that "bribery and corruption" are the wiinisteriag spirit* of the cabal that now rules I his country, nod has ruled it for the last five years, let his** read the husk-money offerred to Mr. Duane, under the form 0f mission to Russia" Where t* there an American citiw.n "that dose not feel hiastlf humbled by this disclosure?

Mr. Polk, the icader of the prerogative partj in the House of Representatives, seems to have grown impatient undel' the continuation of the Bank question. Remonstrances against the measures and designs of "the government" have multiplied loo fast, and the tidings from the North, East, West »nd South are daily worse and *wbrse. A 'little more delay, and (here may be more "icfractory subor dinatt.8.,, The language of policy therefore %--"let us decide at once as we intend at first. Wc cannot deny that ihere is much distress, but we must exhort the People to fortitude', and tell them how prosperous they will be next year, or how much wc shall do for them when we next meet." In relation to the annual application of old General St. Clair for relief, atnetnbcr of the Senate, wishing to "give it the go-by." observed* "Congress sit evefy year." "Yes/* replied Seraior Fromentin, "Congress sit every year, but Death tin every day"

After Mr. Archet sat down to-day, manv struggled fof the flool*, among whom was Mr. Yaifderpoel, one 6f the New York drill-scr-geants, who wrote in his Kinderhood letter that Southern members swell upjike frogs, whenever they are asked to go wttii their party. From bis effort to obtain the floor, an effort made to deliver a speech now embryo, presume that the Previous Question is given over for the present by the New Yorkers, Mr. Peyton, of Tennessee, got the floor, and has bceti ninning through the whole catalogues of the lloman gods—abunnp Dunne, donoundng Ihc & Bank, and lugging in New Orleans by the hend and shoulders, as is the custom of all tltat clasl *1 of men who have no ideas for argument*'but mar\y words for declamation. Why this peretunl reference to New t)rlean annct cncral Jackson stand upon his own lottpn) without invoking New Orleans to aiff liitn?-—? %, Some members seem lo think JNe# OrWniis is a panacea for any and every thing.

Orleans." A dry
question of legal construction is in debute. No inatter, the answer is "New Orleans." The Previous Question is invoked. The cr) for the rally is "New Orleans." The Jackson mciAhers ought to have ft premium for the ut-(branc-p of (his phrase. The man who ran exclaim ^New Orleans" the ofteuest and Ihc" loudcstHn a given lime, ought to have thc hiyh-1, est offico. Ii really seems as if the-weak ma-~ jorily had no mother'bond of Union than the cry of "New Orleans,'^ and that they deem it their duty not to represent their constituents hut to represent Gen. Jackson and New Orltfans^— Why, if they have argument to sustnin their positions this ever*recurring cry to "New Orleans." Are they afraid of 0m prsr- nt, and therefore, t'unk it \vi?r. to appeal to thepttst Yes^ycs, they know that now is the time when all Gen. Jackson's past popularity is necrssnry to sustain him. Upon that popularity he ismaking an experiment. His heii apparent is making "him peril his all, that he may organise a rorp&.pf Strite Hanks us so many engines for political corruption. n^The morning newspapers will display a brilfiant debate in the Senate on matters and things in goneral, but the Deposi'c Question in particular. The membe rs of Congress are so full of this question, that every debate more or less,is tinctured with it. Many of the Sena# tors figured in this debate, from Clay and Webster down to ftrown, of N. Carolina. This last gentleman ever pits himself against Clay or Webster. He (lies at high game, but the high game take no notice of him. To-day ho hawked at Webster, and told us his leport gave tts nothing new, nothing more than what wc had icad in all the newspapers of the country. This is not remarkable remark, coming from the North Carolina Senator. Others will probably have intellectual acnteness enough to discover some new views and new arguments, but I j|pn not surprised that he did npt make the discc$cry. It will he well for him if he can understand the breadth and the scope, of the argument. Every man cannot take it all in, clew and r«nc\u®W«? «a Wol^e ever i^iL Tho

Rter placed Wilkins. Clay gave him a hit, l»ut Webster settled the question. Mr. Wilkins is far better in cotillion than in the U. States Senate. I would not say the Pennsylvanians have mistaken his vocation in taking him from I Pittsburgh tSc sending him here, hut 1 will avoid the assertion, and leaving it undecided how much he distinguished himself ns a Senator, I will say I certainly think he would distinguish himself more as perruquier, or dancing master, or any thing of that description
