Bombast and exag geration evil go ho farther than this: lf it be true, however, it is very fortunate for mankind that Mr. Benton's ball aimed at the heart of Gen. Jackson some twenty years ago, only reached his shoulder. ; It is singular how men's opinions change.

The Connecticut Election ha gone stronger for Van Buren ism than we were led to believe from the accounts received yesterday . There is very little doubt that the majorities are as large or lar ger.than they were last year. The seventy towns heard from, says the New Ha von Herald, gives a Jackson majority of about 3000, "and the re maining fifty towns will, in all probability, rub thatin." So be it; if the gooii people of that State are really fond of the degradation brought upon them, by their rulers and representatives, we don't know that we have any right to quarrel With them. We are at liberty, however, we suppose, to say that it is a very strange case. Cour. Enquirer. Philadelphia, April 13. Sale of the Banking Home of the Uni ted States Bank.
