E. Y. BLANKS For Sale at this Office. From the Baltimore Post. Get. Haralson's civil Qualifications. "some men are born great, others have greatness thurst upon them," and the rlifW. enee between the two sources of distinction is 01 some importance. I he possession of enlarged intellectual capabilities forms on uetecupuou ot greatness; the meretricious consequence thrust upon an individual for seitisti or patty ends constitutes another T vtoii. Xituiison was never distinguished by me lor.nei-; the letter has brfn rrrnntly con ferred upon him by the Ilarrisburg conven tion. Previously to the assembling of that body he was a weak old man; now he is en dovved with as many wonderful attributes as the priests oi Ihibet discover in a. newly iounu lama, rie is a hero; and not that merely but a statesman, and a sa?e withal, possessing the qualities of each in such rare combination as the new world has exhibited but one example of: Washington alone was his superior. Glancing beneath these "blushing honors" so profusely heaped upon him, we not long since passed in review his military career. h aiding in this only the evidence that all those qualifications which makeup the brave soldier and skilful commander were wantinir we propose now to lock into his civil life. t hat are Gen. ' Harrison's civil qualifica tions? What proof has he given that he pos sesses any: Un Ins retirement irom the rmv he settled in Hamilton county, Ohio, where he had a large estate derived by his marriage. l roni that district he was elected to Congress. In Congress he gave his sup port to nearly every measure of unwise and profligate expenditure brought forward and signalized more especially his want of quali fications for the place he held by his vote for a STANDING A II MY OK TWENTY THOUSAND MEN. Dissatisfied with his course in Congress, and disgusted with the loose habits of his private life, the people of his district refused to trust their interests a second time to his keeping. Unable to procure a re-election to Con gress, he offered himself a candidate for Governor of th:s State. Here too, he was defeated by an overwhelming majority. In lS2l he was elected to the Senate of Ohio, where he distinguished himself and dis graced his station by his notorious vole in fivorof'liiug whita raea for debt.. His friends have attempted to shulile on the res ponsibility of this act, first by denying, and then misrepresenting it. But his vote stands recorded on the journal, and 11 the eflbrts of his p-.u tizans will never be able to remove it, or to wine out the deep disgrace which so justly attaches to the man who would sell his fellow citizens into slavery for the misfortune of poverty. Subsequently to this he asked the support of !:!. county for a seat in the legislature, and here met with defeat; his competitor, too, be ing a man of no talents and little reputation, excepting for his honesty, which in the esti mation of those w ho knew both out weighed all the considerations that could be arged in favor of Gen. Harrison. The year 1S25 again beheld him in public life, an accidental election having elevated him to a scat in the Senate of the United Slates, where he was the object of general pity and deiisioa. On the nomination of Mr. Adams for the Presidency he labored bard to procure the insertion of his name on this ticket for Vice President; aud if his declarations, which he has repeated on a thousand occasions, be ad- ..ui uiiuii; uuu reacnea this coun try; nut because Mr. Adams, with his charac terisiic want of Judgement, had caused to be fjuuiisnecl hi3 instructions to the Panama ministers, in which he had strongly question- tu me purny ot uca. Bolivar's motives. On ins return to Cincinnati, Gen. Harrison pub heiy approved his recall by Gen. Jackson and attributed it to the cause we have assiVn ed. ihis will be verified by the Cincinnati ruuu i" tins 01 mat cay. Uen. Harrison charged the salary of a foreign minister from i.iay the date of his appointment, until. No VOfnhr.r 11 lion r. cnM 1 c.. " . . ..w He duiicu iiuui mis country, a period ot six monies ouiiu" T,iuti t not in the service of the Government. Or in other words, he charged and received about 2i3,00d, for six or seven months actual ser- vice, a large portion of which time he lived as the guest of a British merchant at Bojrota Alter his return he was literally manceuver- ed into the cfiice of Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in Hamilton County, Ohio, no one duty of which he is competent to per- lorm, and which is to all intents and purpo ses a perfect sinecure. Yet this imbecile. garrulous old man is held up by the patched up factions which support him as the 'Cincin nains of the JVesC Hha voor maur3 candi- datd' The federalists always have and ever will undervalue the intelligence of the people. The man w ho boasts of his descent from the first family in Virginia ' who obtained a princely fortune by marriage, who has had his hand in the public treasury in some form or other all his rife, the poor mail's candidate! II is supporters consider it a merit that he is poor. hether he is 1 know not; but if he s it is simply because he is lamentably deffi iei:t in the common sense qualities neces ary to take care of his ample income, and has lived in a style of extravagance and pro fligacy. Poverty is no crime unless it is thp esult of folly or misconduct. If Gen. Har rison is poor, it is the result of both. At a suitable time we shall propound a few queries to certain presses and individuals in Jiiic, to the Hon. John Serp-eant cf Penn sylvania, and to others, touching the moral discourse of G en. Harrisonr Of his politics w e have at present but a word to say. Un der Adams he was a federalist of the black- cocKaoe stamp, and admitted it. He is in favor of applying the surplus revenue to the purchase ot slaves and the abolition of slavery. He is in favor of a high tariff for the protec tion of northern manufactures at the expense r.-f tbfi rra of ihe country. He is in favor of the loose construction of the constitution of our Government by which federalism seeks to establish a central despotism. Such, in brief, is the civil career of Gen. William Henry Harrison, without a single act of greatness to relive its imbecility or to atone for the many acts of folly at which his country has had occasion to blush. VOL. 2. JTO. 1. Whole ffumbcr 54. Bank will seek to justify this shameful prac tice. Let it net be said the chatter author ises it. The charter intended that the Banks should render some accommodation to the community by discounting in the ordinary way. 1 his evasion by w hich they are making a most exhorbitant and oppressive profit out of the needy, w hile they are excused for the non-payment of their debts bv th vp munity they are plundering, is one which is as aisnonest as it is mean and pitiful. In what we have said we do not wish to includa the gentlemen who have the immediate man agement of this shaving shop thev dr-ibtless " act under orders ironf head quaVtcrl: uv they will we hope excuse us for savino-. thev- are engaged in rathei an unworthy, calling. " It is time for the people to open their e.vt as to the Banks in this State and to institute some inquiry into their management. As at present conducted they seem to be doW H for themselves and nothing for the community, although it is always for the 'benefiLof the lat ter they pretend, that they suspend specie Pay ments. 1 mitted, Mr. Clay, who now so generously yields to his pretensions, defeated his nomi nation. When General Urown died, he urged his claims to the appointment of Com mander in chief of the Army. Hero too he met with defeat, and this he also attributed to ihe interference of Mr. Clay. W'hen the of fice of Minister to Colombia was mado vacant by the death of Mr. Anderson, he again brought forward his pretensions, and again, as he has openly declared was opposed by Mr. Clay. His importunities, however, oil this occasion prevailed, and Mr. Adams con feired the appointment upon him. It was confirmed in the Senate on the Sth of May and he remained in the United States until November. When he ascertained that Mr. Adams had not been re-elected he sailed for Colombia. On his arrival at the Capitol, he addressed a long letter to the President of the Govern ment, General Bolivar, volunteering his view s of the line of conduct General Bolivar should pursue in the administration of his government. This he considered a master piece of diplomacy; and we have recently seen this letter ot General Harrison paraded in the newspapers devoted to his support, as one of the most triumphant evidences of his diplomatic abilities. It may be evidence of his vanity, of his want of tact, of auy thing but good sense. The proceeding was, that anv thing but conceited ignorance would have known, and what events proved, most indiscreet and prejudicial to the .interests of his mission. How would our own people have treated a minister from one of the old Governments, who at the commencement of our republic, had thrust the advice upon us as to the course of policy we should pursue? They would, as thev did in the case of Genet have spurned him from the country. Nearly with equal se verity the Government of Colombia treated the unasked interference of Gen. Harrison; yet his friends bring out his letter as one of the trophies ot his diplomacy. Gen. Harrison was recalled, not however From the . or' Carolina Democrat. T!ic State Bauklts 3Ianagcmcnt. We believe it will not be denied by any one, that the people of this State have shewn a forbearance towards their Banking institu tions during their former and present suspen- lou ot payments, as remarkable as it has been by one of the Banks of this State un deserved. It cannot be said that any clamor has been raised against them. No unfair and prejudiced appeals have been made to our citizens either by the press or by indi viduals, nor have we heard of an instance in which specie has been exacted of them by one of our citizens. This certainly should have caused the Bauks to have exercised all their power to relieve the community, and to have extended to them every facility compati ble with their own safety and authorised by their charter. Such has not been the case however as we understand with the Branches of the State Bank, and we presume also the parent institution. One of these Branches we have reason to know, in this Congres sional district, has degenerated into a miser able shaving shop, intent only upon making large profits out of the people it was intended to serve. Banks are only defended on the ground, that they are of public benefit. By the charter of the State Bank, it is to discount paper in the ordinary way, and may also deal in Bills of Exchange. Now the Bills of Ex change here alluded to, was doubtless regular mercantile paper. , The Bank by discounting notes could only make an interest approach ing 7 per cent. This would not do we sup pose it was too slow a business for a sus pended bank. The Bank therefore refuses to discount notes payable as usual at Bank. When application is made to discount, the applicant is told, "ice do not discount but tee buy Bills.'" But says the applicant I have no paper of this kind. Oh, that is easily reme died, says the Bank officer. It is true you have no fimds in Norfolk or Petersburg, but draw a Bill for five hundred dollars on some house in either of these places, get the same endorsers as are on the note you have pre sented to be discounted and we will buy the bill at a fair discount. The applicant is gen erally obliged to have the money, he draws the Bill payable in 90 days the interest for 3 months is taken off by the Bank and when the Bill matures, their being no funds in Norfolk or Petersburg as the case may be, to meet it, a fact known to all parties from the beginning, it is protested and the Bank thereupon becomes entitled to 5 per cent, damages, or $30. Thus for 90 days the Bank for the loan of $500, instead of $7 50 the legal interest, realizes by this shameful shaving process the sum of $37 50. We do not speak what we hear say at ran dom. We have the authority of one who knows for what we say. And now we ask upon what ground the Frcm the Harrisbnrg Stale Capital daztitc. TIxe Latest Fctleral Invention. We observe in the correspondence of city Federal paper, (doubtless written by some Federal mendicant, who is the receipt "of his daily bread from the General Government,) the ridiculous statement that a disnosition i evinced at Washington to cast off Mr. Van Buren, and nominate some one else; and in iretended proof ot this, says that recent move ments iu Pennsylvania has brought this about that ulr. Van Buren could not carrv thci State, as the Executive and some of his for mer friends had differed. This is what we would call "precious falsehood," so' peculiar in its nature, as only to be known bv the Federal tacticions. If our opponents depend upou this as their hope of success, -we tell ihem in good time thev are trusting to a bro ken reed hugging a delusive phantom, which will expire w ith its own nursing. To our friends at home and abroad, we would say be of good cheer, the democracy of the Keystone State is sound to the core. No divisions distract us no difierence iu principle ener vates cur actions.
