vers have no influence -and where honest industry and cntcrprize .will receive a golden reward. To the Friends of the Ex-Receiver. Jiisum teneatis amici. On taking up the resolve moved by Mr. Blake, I thought that I had ample reason for self congratulation on the happy t incidence of the ideas suggested in iy first address and the views of the legislature, and I was on;thc tip-toe ofcxpectation, looking for some masterly stroke in behalf of vour much abused

friend. Bat great lias been my disappointment on discovering that the convulsive throes of labour of the spirited Legislature of Indi ma eventuated in the birth of a vickettv child, a frigid lecture to the President of the United States, on Ins appointment of a young man to the office of Receiver, who to the crime of youth added that of being born out of the holv precincts of the state, leaving entirciy out 01 Rignt me very important inIividual, whom everv obligation of dutv and gratitude bound them to cover with their protecting shield. Far be it from me, however, to mean anything disparagement of the njov-1 cr or either ot the two houses. I heir zeal, 1 am sensible, was warm and their motives just : I hat failure is chantablv to lie imputed rather to a want of skill j tti and intripidity than to 1 fr.r-irtr ' vv-v. , nose Hie precipitancy ot the general as- - ... .. . iembly,m tins ail interesting case, a j t ---M' -b-" , CU UI1UI HIV HIH CJ VJlt reached them, and had they pursued the course which I had chalked out, there can remain little doubt, that the Prcsi dent and his Secretaries would have skulked into a nut shell. I have, bower, the exquisite satisfaction of seeing that my hints in relation to a Major Generalship, have been attended to and promptly acted upon. There is, in the conversion of an enormous bank fungus into a Major General, something so exquisitely original, that it will attract a general attention, and draw every eye far and near towards him : nreciselv what you intend and ought to accomplish. Give him something give him any-thing give him a Rattle to make a noise with, lest the weight of his character should silently sink him into ultimate oblivion. Besides the general purpose of his e-' lection, there are aoundant reasons to induce tue aisermiiuaiuig uaieis ui uiu new division to place him at their head, duce the discriminating officers ot the Foi, although I cannot presume to aver that lie ever held a military odiee, inft.n,pnn. Miniv.mN. tership of some Coventry militia rcgi . f ment, or ever bestowed a solitary thought on military affairs, yet there exists in him such 'instinctive talent for drilling and enforcing subordination, as eminently nullifies him for the office. Tnat marvellous aptitude shines with peculiar splendor in his management of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Viacennes, wno now iorm me oesv uiseiplincd corps in the United States, and ' aecm to breathe through tiie same organs, and move by the impulse of one single will. The general assembly ran also add their evidence to the observation above made. Before he present himself a-, mongst them, they seem like a pack of hounds at fault, until he appears to organize and direct their movements, tiiL-n on his giving the word of command, order succeeds to confusion, the business of legislation begins and goes on merrily.
