On motion ot Mr. Monte, the followftitr meamble and reso'uttons, heretofore introduced by Mr. Cannrn, were takeo up: Whereas it in considered by the good people of the State o' lereskee, that a recharter ot the Kink of the United States would be dett internal to the agricultural, commercial and mechanical in tercst of the citizen thereof: Thcretoie, Be it resolved by the (ieneral j1saem fly of the State of Tenntxsee, That our Senators in Congress be instiucted, and our Representatives requested, to vote against rechiUering the Bank of the U. States, should an attempt be made in Congress for that purpose Pcelvcdt That the Secretary of State caue a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolution to be furnished to each of our Senators in Congress. Mr Yetger moved to strike out the rord would in the prthmble St insert the word might which tfe withdrew, and Mr. Jarncgan moed to strike out the preamble, which motion failed. Mr. Yerger then renewed hit motion, which failed. Mr. JarnaginmoTed to strike out the wonts agricultural, commercial and me .cf,anicals ftom the preamble, whica mo. tjon prevailed. Mr. Yerger then moved to strike the word recSirteiing out of the resolution, lor the purpose of inserting the words a rffirwj of the firctent charter of, vhich motion failed. On motion of Mr. Vernon, the ayes and noes were taken on the adoption of the preamble and resolution. Whereupon, it "appeared that said preomWle and resolution were unanimously adtftedf every member being in his seat. Frzm the Globe. Mr. Koah pretends that there is grcr.t anxiety on the part of Mr. Van Huron's friends, to leave the responsibility of their recommendation" on the President, in relation to the Deposites; and savs, "ire knovf the act that had Mr. Van Buren recommended them not to mediate with the I) c poshes, nothing would Ipve been done.

The instant, the Piesident had decisive proof, that the Hoa'd of Directors had given Mr Biddle un. limited authority to use the funds of the Institution to operate upon the Press, and influence the lections, he took in irrevocable lesolution to place the public fend, as far as depended on him, and as

We invite the attention of bur readers, to the reasons of tho President for re moving. the public depositee from the Dank of the U. States, which will be found in to day's paper.

Her previous history shows what she has done in similar circumstances. We have now to see whether she has learned wis dom from the pait Will she tighten 'he reins upon her debtors, or will she relax themf Hitherto, at every apparent crisis of her fate, she has sought to preserve her existence and her power by an unrelenting system of oppression. The same means, there is but little doubt, will again be adopted, to meet with effect the removal of the deposits She endeavoured to parry the thrust or President Jackson's veto by narrowing her Western di3Connts, and crushiog her Western debtors. Lst her pursue the same course once more the Vallies of the Mississjppi for once will be prepared lor her. It is not our intention to dictate a proper or a popular course of conduct to the Bank, in the present contingency. W c love her too little to take upon our selves the task of counselling her, iut this touch we will remark, that if she wishes to die, unregrette3, unblest and unmourned, just e. her act the despot as she did in 1820, atd 1833. It is said that the Bank will move heaven and earth to pack a Congress, the coming winter, by which she will be able to pass the re-charter over the head of the President. We do not, cannot, believe this But should it prove to be the fact, an insulted and indignant people insulted in their own primary sovereignty, insulted in the person of their own chosen Chief Magistrate, insulted by tbe treachery of their own public agents will rally tound the standard ot political justice, and return another Congtess, pledged o obey the popular voice, and erase the stain from the records of the National legislature Watevcr may be thought of the matter, in the North, the

hast or the South, whatever the purchased retainers of the Bunk in the West nta? say, we assert, confidently assert, that, in the Vallev of the Mississippi, the dayn of tht United States Bank are nunibercd. Ohio will soon have a Bank of her own Kentucky will soon have a Bank of her own Indiana will ojn have a Bank ot her own Tennessee already has a B.mk ol her own Louisiana al ready has a Bank of her own The Wt s' o longer chooses to submit her fi nances, or the regulation of her currency. to Mie caprices of a board of soulless, senseless Bank directors in Philadelphia. The yea 1835 will dawn upon a new era in Western prosperity it will witness tho dissolution of an oligarchy the most cruel and corrupting that ever dared to contaminate the institutions of our Re public, and it will see tbe Great West, rescued from Eastern dictation, renovated and independent, pursuing its rapid march to empire, without a check, and without a rival.

LANDER'S SECOND VOYAGE UP THE NIGERWe have been favored with a very interesting exttact from the letter of an officer of the party, giving an account of Lander', secoftd trip up the Niger, the contents of which must be interest ing, as we are confident they must be new to live public The letter is dated, J-crr.ar.do Po, his Aiujcstu's Shift Curlew, A ray 12. 'Mr. Lind?r arrived hero snore days ago from the Nun, or Niger. I had been there in the Curlew only a week be. fore, when they had received no intelli gence of the expedition for five months. "It appears the large steamboat, the Quorra, ofters passage of three rmyhs, only reached the river Shadda, ot within six miles of it, when she was thrown, by the strength of tbe stream, (or by bad I steerage) upon a bank, where she remained tor three months, with about 'three fathoms water close to her. This delayed the expedition, for the little steamer, the Alburka. was ob.tged to attend her consort for fear of accidents Mr. Landar left them about three or four weeks ago, in order to get a supply of medicines, tea, Sec. Curious enough, the medical man who went up the river was rjuito an inexperienced practitioner, and neglected to take up a proper quantity of stores; the consequences has been, thst after getting into the Nun (having Io' about lx men before) twentf white men died of fever and dvsentery, and a rwngst the number the Doctor himself (Dr B.-igo) and all the o7kers, exceptio$ Mr. Laird, Mr. Lander, Lieut Allan, and the Captain of the little steamer. There arc noif lunivin, on baard

the two boats, only fourteen whites : They luckily took plenty of blacks with J them (Kroomen) twenty in one boat and! fifteen in the other, who are all alive. !

The success of a future expedition is now certain, if properly conducted, for the only opposition Lander has met with was between the mouth of the river and a place about half way to Eboe, and three days and a half from tbe sea. At this place the beats on going ashore to wuod, were Gred upon by the natives, and although every means were used lor conciliation, the steamers were obliged to fire their guns, k eventually set fire to the town. This happened on their way up. The chief of the place has now joined nine others, and they have determined upon prev. ntinj the return of the expedition, which is of course, all nonsense. These chiefs all live within ten miles of each other, and although they have large canoes, tNey can do nothing against a stenmer: they have been urged on by English palmoil captains and captains of slavers, who have been doing every thing to thwart the views of the expedition. Lander met King Boy at Eboe (whom you may recollect as the person who on a former occasion, ransomed the two brothers and brought them down to Biais,) and bis Majesty gave him a passage down in his war canoe, and has promised to take him up again. I mentioned the extreme mortality that has occurcd. Lander thinks it was occasioned by the imprudence of Capt Harris, a mas ter in the navy, who made a coasting voyage of it from Sierra Leone, and took the boats (he commanded the large one) up one or two rivers in order to pass away the time, as he considered the sea son not far advanced enough to enter the Nun. The consequence was, fever broke out, and six persons, including H trris himself, died before entering tbe river, at.d great sickness prevailed up to the moment of Lander's quitting them, the other day. Mr. Allen had been attacked, out was quite wen again, and ictt in charge of the boats, while Mr. Laird had gone up the river Shadda in the long boat, partly for his health, and partly to trade. '1 he country wra qut'n healthy where the steamboats were Ivu g, and they had plenty of provisions. Bullocks; cost only 8s, and wcighui 2cwt.and fowls about Id. Lander says the victualling ot about thirty pert.-;:s amounte 1 u tiout' U 8d a day including yams, rice, he They have not succeeded well' in trade, having procured only about fcvc tons ol ivory; this wasovting to tlieir iiot haviftg good interpreters, and to their not being lar enough up the river Had the large steamer not groui ded, they would have been up to Uooea. Owing to tUe strong current against them, their fuel only lasted two day, and it took them ten to complete it agaio. Lander's complaint is dysentery, which is now nearly ubdued; he came down here from the mouth of the Nun in an open boat (for change ol cliotate), and luckily had not a drop of rain the whole passage, for three days. One tornado must have killed him, and wc had a severe one the day before he arrived and the day aficr. I am just starting on a cruise, and intend calling in tor him in about a week, and take him up to the Nun. He has obtained several good interpreters here, good disciplined lads, who have been well drilled by CoJ. Nichols. Want of discipline appears to have had a sad crTtctoo the expedition I have just been attempting to give yon an outline of. On Captain Harris' death, Mr. Laird appears to have behaved in a most mutinous manner towards Mr. Lander, and ooly gave in when seized by illness; want of harmony appears to have been the chief cause ot these misfortunes. As to the opposition on the part of the natives, there may be said to have been none; for if the ten chiefs continue hostile, wc can convey him up so far under the guns of Pluto, with tbe Curlew in tow, if requisite. There is plenty ol water over the bar of the Nun. I have given you a tcry hasty account of Lander's expedition rather than none at all, as (sending my letter by Ascension) you may not have heard of it before. Mr Allan is getting on well with his observations; he has been of great service tt Lender in supporting bint against Mr. Laird " Fruit Treks The Gcnnessee Farmer, recommctds the transplanting of rces in tho fall. From the middle of October to the middle of Novtmbcr is decidedly the most preferable sessca, says this excellent farming paper, for p'anting all Iruit and other deciduout trees.

Mr Burden, of this city, already favorblv known to the public as a mon ingenious mtchanic, and the author of an important invention, whereby he has secured a forttne to himself, and conferred a great benefit upon ihe country we mean his patent wrought spike machine has undertaken nolesj a task than that ' of effecting in, entire oicrturn in the

construction of ateamboats. and iteairii

navigation. He is now constructing aj steamboat, on a plan peculiarly his own,i 10 run twenty miles the hour, and to maxe ainp irom Albany to New York and back by daylight. It is not, however, speed only, which is to constitute the chief excellence of Mr. Burden's boat; both in regard to materials, and weight and cheapness of construction, and the power necessary to propel it, it is designed to cflee4 a savirg of 50 per cent over the ruost ap proved models no in use. The plan is this: Mr. Burden has constructed two trunks, which for the want ol a better similitude we shall compare to two huge sea serpents. They are constructed of staves, except instead of hoops on the ootside, they are drawn together (roes the inside by iron rods, having a head at one end and screws cut at the other. These at regular intervals pass from the outside ot the trunk through each stave, and through a stout iron in the centre, and are there drawn up and secured fast by a nut. The staves are of pine timber, 4 inches thick, and from 50 to 80 feet in length. These two trunks are to be pla ced side by side, 16 feet apart at the centre, and suitably and efficiently connected togethar by transverse trimbors upon which the deck is to b laid and the ma chinery placed It is designed to propel the boat with one wheel only, wkich is to be pjaccd between the trunks a: the cen tre. The buckets will bt lo feci Ung, and the diameter of the wheel cooside rahle greater than in common boats Theeiigine will be horizontal, lik tha of the Novelty; and is designed ordinari ly to exert a 75 horsepower, but is so constructed that greater may be had if necessary. Mr B however does not calculate that more will be required. The trunks were constructed at Merritt's MiliS, below ihe city, and were launched, or rather rolled into the Hudson yesterday. Wchad the pleasure ot seeing one deposited in the watery element. The other was launched before wc arrived. It U designed immediately toftame them together, and lay the deck. This done, the machinery will be applied, and the invention Jested by actual experiment. It is proper, however, to say that an experiment has already been made with a boat of smaller dimensions and Punks eighty feet long; the success ol wiikh in the opinion of Mr. B. jus;ifies the prese&t undertaking, end is tho basis of his entire confidence in its success. Mr. Burdenjjas undertaken a great enterprise if lie succeeds he will have his reward but experiment alone can de terminc that point. His boat, three hundred feet in lengh, with an average wtdth ol ahout 40 feet will look more like a floating, perhaps we should say, Jty:"g Island, tbun aoy thing that has yet been witnessed in the line watcrcraff The London Coi .espondeot of the N. Yourk Journal of Commerce say: I cannot retrain from here calling your attention to a most important discovery, enc which, if it realizes the anticipations of the inventor, must remove the only obstacle to the triumph of steam navi gation. This is a nct mode of producing heat, by which both wood and coal are lobe superseded. I find the account in a Salisbury paper, and if it had not such an appearance of honesty, I should doubt its reality. It is as follows: "The principal ingredient is water. The only material required besides, is something in a liquid lorro, which contains a large quantity of carbon: wbaie oil, tar, or almost anything of a similar kind will answer the purpose. As these materials are pit into the firace simultaneously, and in combination with each other, the one yields its carbon, while the other gives out his hydrogen, and a small portion of atmospheric air is the only thing then required to keep them in a state of perfect combustion. The whiteness and intensity o! the flame can hardly be iraa girted by any who has not seen if, and yet it is so completely under management. that in one secend it ean be reduced or augmented as occasion may require?" The accrtmt then states that from the ab sence of all smoke, chimnies can be got rid of, and that a vessel may without inconvenience carry enough fuel to enable her to circumnavigate the Globe. The statement is in such a creditable shape, and put forth upon the faih of the editor as aleader, that it is impossible not to rely upon its correctness. The editor also states, that at the Gas Works at Lyrr.ington it has been in successful operation durincr the last three nzntht. From the Pitttburg Afonufjeturer. LEONITES AND RAPPITES. Among the delusions existing in our section I country, none were more remarkable 'jn those vhich existed among these two societies. Indeed it seems exceedingly strange that any body of people could in the very midst of ouri free and happy society, be o misted as most of these have been. But much as we wonder at the manner in which Mr. Rapp conducted bis society so successfully, we were struck with amaaemrnt at the blind Unsiiwim that enabled a Doted

impostor, called Count Leon, lead

ioiii iur. iapp s jurisdiction arid government, a large body of the Economy oociciy. i nis Uount L,eon we stated was an impostor from Germany, who pretended to be a messenger sent by Heaves for the especial purpose of regenerating the Germans at Economy, and eslsb'.h ing a Zion in tho Ves The means he took to inveigle the Economies were in keeping with his real character and suffice it to say, were so ridiculous, so impious, so knav:sh, that no people but those he gained over, would for a moment treat them seriously. He promised to torn rocks into gold; to cause rein or drought when he or his followers pleased; to dress all his followers in purplo and fine linen, and to make them fare sumptuously every day.' They believed in him; they thooght. poor souls, that roasted pigeons would fly on their dinner tabic each day to be eaten and that'al! they hed to do was to eat. drink and be merry; so they left Mr. Rarp ar.d followed our hero, Count Leon. But like many other poor morals, they were doomed to disappointment Roasted px. geons did not fly to them clothes did net fall from the skies ready mode for each of them, and worse than all, the rocks that were to have been changed into gold, were soon ascertained to be forty years too young. The Count found out this last faciand with (ears in his eyes informed his followers of it. By degrees things began to wear a bad appearance. Count Leon's fo lcu ers. located at Phifipsburg, quarrelled with Rnpp's followers located at Ecor.cmv.tcn ai ea dbfan; both applied to lawyers, and lawyers as matter of corrse.fit eccd both. The Puillipbbuiger's were poorest, ami tmve brokr n first. The ('runt with all j.is heoen!y powers, has fled raking vnh him a few particular fnends. Tex rest of the Phiilipsburg Society it dissolved, and Philiipsburg with its appurtenances is advertised for sate. Such have been the consequences of blind fanaticism to the honest G rmans who lett Rapp's Society, a.d followed Count Leon with a view of bettering' their condition. It affords an instructive lesson, not to those Germans alone, but to all ho place implicit ct nfidenco in fanatic leaders, who live on the credulity of an honest, but too confiding pubHe. Prom the Xcvt England Parmer. Pickles Happening in at the hoos6 ot a gentleman, a few months since, he remarked that he had adopted a new method of preserving cucumbers, or making pickle, and as proof of iis excellence, pioduced some prepared according to his system As it was new to me, it may possibly be so to some of the readers of the Farmer. Take of common sour cider, such as cider drinkers usually denominate hard, a quantity sufficient to cover the cucumbers intended to pickle, ar.d put it info a vessel proper for the purpose. Gather your cucumbers when ot right size, without scratching or buiing them rob or wesh them clean and put them in the cider stir them occasionally, and if a scum rises let it be taken t.ff, rnd they will gradually become pickles of tho first quality, green, hard, and o fine appearance. Pepper, and other condiments, snay be a-ldcd as required. I cannot vcuch for the invariable tucccsa of this mode, but in hr hands ct my friend I know it operated admirably, and the expense and tiouble are o sm.nt compared with some other methods, that it is well worthy a trial.

Henry Hill, a colored man, and a Revolutionary soldier, died in Chilicothe, m the 12th ult., aged eighty years. He wss buried with the honors of srar a singular tribute of reepect to the memory of a black man, but no doubt richly merited in this case. Henry we should infer from a tributary nctice in the Chilicothe Advertiser, was at the battles of Lexington, Rrandywine, Monmouth, Princeton, and Yorktown Ci. Gas.
