fits that msv result, were wc enabled to have a -Bmnch of the present U. S. Bank located among us. Tlicrc is no doubt but it would be more for our own interest to rely on our own resources, if for no other than the fact of the stock being owned out of the state would occasion u continual drain on the specie of the country. The governor of Kentucky lias lately exhibited the fact, that during the last twelve years,

the U.S. Bank at Philadelphia, drew from the Western Branches, twenty-two and half millions of dollars, and never sent one million of cash to the vaults; all this immense drain of specie was obtained on the credit of her notes 11 So valuable is the western bank stock at present, in the eyes of the eastern capitalists, that two thirds of the stock of the Louisville Bank was lately taken by eastern men in a few days, and the demand so great that the directors refused for the present selling any more, expecting in a little while a premium. Now this recent fact in relation to the Louisville Kentucky Bank, in a state too, where twelve years ago forty-two Independent Banks had failed, shows clearly that public confidence is not lost in such institutions, but that time and experience has made the business of Banking to be well understood, and that men of capital and extensive information are anxious every whereto have an interest in them. Let us then no longer be divided on this all important subject, but uniting in sentiment and action secure to ourselves at our next session the advantages of a Bank. The writer Ins no hesitation in declaring his preference for the bill as passed by the house of representatives; he can see in it no constitutional objection. It would bave been a safe and a judicious institution, and well calculated to relieve the people in a great degree from their present pecuniary distresses. Tt3 whole operations were under the ultimate review and control of the legislature, through the semi annual visitation of commissioners, as well as the reports under, oath of the President. Cashier, &c. of each institution, while the public were ultimately secured through the principle of the safety fund, against any contingent losses that might bypossibility accrue, and in which all the branches were equally interested, and giving to the legislature the further power of closing any branch which did not exhibit a safe and "prosperous business; this was a business like act, and such an one as would have gone into immediate operation, and if necessary, individuals were waiting and anxious, out of the state, to buy up the stock. The objections to the lull as reported jn senate, are various: 1st. The accountability of all the Branches for each others operations, could not be considered a judicious arrangement. No sane man would take stock in any Brandy and be it the same time accountable to pay any losses that may accrue in any or all the others, over which he could exercise no control. If one Branch was bound to redeem the notes ,f the other Branches, , it could not stand agtinst any designed attack. Suppose the Bank at Louisville should collect a large amount of notes' cn the various Branches, and present them for specie at any one of the ojicc.", it is plain to be leen they could not be honored. It was not to be expected that one Branch could ii: ve specie sufficient to mc?t the issue ct all the others; a failure must of consequence ensue, and that of oue Branch utter another, as no one could singly meet so large a demand: and here would be at the same time a forfeiture of the penalty of P2i per cent. That other features in the bill of the senate, giving to the legislature the appointment of all the Directors to the Mother Batik, V through them to the Branches, would, of itself, be sufficient to destroy its utility. The dangers likely to result to our institutions by giving to legislators such immense patronage, may be the means of polluting the streams of public justice, by holding up the Bank privileges and cilices to the supporters of each candidate. It is but a short time since our state was divided into two parties, and not impossible but such may again occur; "'tis too plain to be seen that whatever party in the legislature had the ascendency, their political friends ronimvouM fill theollicc of Bank directors in the mother Bank, and through them, all the others ; then would all the monied operations of the state be in the hards of a political party, and of course none but their friends would get accommodated. This would produce a state of things among us that would prove a curse instead of a blessing. Is the U S. Bank governed in this manner ? I think not. The government have an influence in proportion to its stock, and no more, u h'tle the election for Directors is left to the free, un trammelled choice of the stockholders, and rrl-t. r.k i .1 -1 1 1 1 1 iii nnv fniintrv line i met a larjer share of prosperity. f c V I ...it ft . tr ii .11 ftlin ftn .,..r. ii . i u ,ii tieuc? of my tellow-citizens.

) XEV AM) VALUABLE INVENTION! THE undersigned, , a resident of Vincenues, Indiana, has invented and perfected a ncic and valuable mpromncnt in application of icind, tfor the purpose of nronellins machinery; for which be has

received letters patent from the president of the United States, designated J. 1'. COLMAS'S SELF-KLUfLATING HORIZONTAL WINDMILL Occular demonstration is alwavs thc most satisfactory and two mills arc now erected in the borough of Vincennes upon the plan of the undersigned, one of which has been in operation near two years. The perfect safety and entire simplicity of these mills, mav be conceived from a brief outline. A horizontal wheel is placed on a vertical shaft above the house, with four or more wings or sails standing in an inch ned position from the way the wind wheel is calculated to run, which throws a gradu al weight of the wimrs on a rriven scone of O S5 O I . wind, and the wings bearing on the wind propel the wheel : it illustrates a combina tional power of weight and wind, with the principle cf gravity acting on wind. Each wing performs one revolution on its pivot, to one of the main windwhcel. Each wins has a bearing ot swen-eightlis of its circumference upon the wind, and the one-eighth occasions little or no resis tance. The power is in proportion to the weight given, and a very light weight is sufficient to drive the simple machinery ot a run of millstones. More or less power, if desired, can be given when the mill is in operation by the lower pivots of each

wing being placed on a sliding block, to jof the imported Arclia. The dam of Inwhich a rope is attached extending to main jcitntus was got by Blackbourn's Whip, shaft passiiv under a collar on shaft at Uranddam by the imported Diomede.

the root ot buihnng, to a windless on shaft inside the house. There is nothing conjectural or complicated in the improvement mentioned ; it is founded on a prinple of nature, and amnly tested by practical experience The use and benefit to accrue cannot long remain limited ; it will be found to recommend itself for utility, cheapness, certainty, safety, and convenience, to the citizens of every quarter of the United States. f" To those who reside On the western and southern plains, and to those near the At lantic or northern lake shores, it will afford durable benefit and great accommodation. No person acquainted with mills, who has sren the mill of the undersigned in operation, has withheld an expression of entire approval; and a strong recommendation, after actual examination of the mill at work, could now be procured, signed by hundreds of intelligent citizens. The expense of the running gearing of a grist mill, whether the main shaft be vertical or horizontal, is well known to all millrights; and the chief difference arises from the driving power. The expense of a windwhcel depends upon the size; one to carry one hundred yards of sail will nut exceed one hundred dollars, and one carrying six hundred yards, may not exceed five hundred dollars. The first mentioned size will drive a run of four feet millstones with a very moderate wind; and the last mentioned sfze will, with the same wind, drive six run of the same size stones with equal safety at all times. The undersigned, as a matter of choice at the present time, would prefer to recommend a windwhcel to carry about three hundred yards, say sixty feet in diameter, and to remove any possible doubt, the following assurances are here made. That vtith the least possible wind it will drive one run of four feet millstones; with a moderate breeze it will drive two or three, and with a strong wind live run of the same size, each doing good business. That it will make flour equal to any other mill, and requires much less attention to keep it in repair. 1 uat a boy ot ten years of age may have entire and perfect command of it at all times without difficulty. That with garners to hold sufficient grain, and lead a supply to the hoppers, it may be left in perfect safety for twenty-four hours at a time. The wind may blow from a moderate breeze to a storm, (both inclusive) and change its direction as often and as quick as may be, and little if any difference will be perceived in the movement of the mill. That in proportion to cost, it will do a better business than any steam engine, (expense of fuel and engineer saved). And tliat for sawing and grist mills it will be found equally eflectjvc, and less expensive. Persons desirous of further information in relation to this important discovery, will please visit the mill of the undersigned, or address him by mail, po;t paid, to inetmr.es, Ind., which will receive due uttention Any person or persons, w ho will build a good and substantial mill on the ahuc ! principle, such as too undersigned will dei . . - . , situate to bun or tlicm in writing, m the . . , . most prominent place m anv ot the states , JT . . , ' to! , . ... . ... , ' to 1 . , .... 1 , . .J entitled to halt the proceeds arising Iron ot : ,i , . , I a patent in the state he or they may select a - 4 - -T II I M 1 .
