We deem it unnecessary to agitate thirties
tion any more at present ; or at most, to touch
upon it only occasionally. It Is not necessary for
exciting the public mind ; for it is already exci
ted : It is not necessary to convince our oppres
sors in the ICast ; for no arguments, however
sound ; no facts, however well substantiated,
however undeniable, even did they flash con vie
tion on the mind, as if " written with a sun
Scum," would induce them to acknowledge their
injustice, or incline them, to turn a favorable car
to our complaints. Enough, and more than
enough hat already been said ; should little, there
fore, be said, for some months to come, let it not
be supposed it is because we are disheartened, or
lejs inclined to demand our rights than hereto
fore; for such is not the case. Time will de
velope the spirit and resources of the West, phys
. ical as well as moral, if necessary.
At the next General Assembly the subject will
again be introduced, and, if unsuccessful, we will
' jiot say it will, but we will go so far as to say, it
' -inaile the latt time. The western people will
' '.tiftn assemble in Convention ; but not at ftaleigh :
ifhty ,willdo themselves that justice which they
in- vain asked fronv-oihers : And -more than
- thisr they will support that constitution for which
-the eastern " aristocracy feel such reverence but
."' which they violate tt. e. the spirit of it) from year
" to year without the least hesitation : For the ven
erable patriots who penned that instrument, lit
tle expected that the sanction of that, of their
tames, or of their conduct, would be given to
oppression of any kind, and particularly of that
which we complain of, and against which they
were then struggling. The " Declaration of
"Wghts," whjch they appended to the constitu
tiorii proves that were they now alive, they would
,as boldly and promptly resist the unjust domina
tion of the East, as they did the arbitrary and ty
rannical power of England, in our war for na
tiorial Independence. Hut we have extended our
remarks, shot t as they are, to a greater length
than we intended. When the. proper time ar
1 rive then this subject will receive a full, and
probably a final, discusfon.

The bill to incorporate the Columbia College,
Irnhe District of Columbia haviiis previously
pushed the Senate yesterday finally p4sed .the
House"of"Heprcsrntatives,'8nd wants only the
slgnuturc of the President to become a law. It
is not probable that this sanction will be withheld.
This Institution may therefore be said to" have a
legal existence among us. Asa means of en
couragtiig learning-generally ,"and ai anbrtling
the meVns of Inktrucling youth within the Dis
trict, the establishment of this" College would
have been hailed wi'.h unmixed pleasure, but for
two objections which have !ecn raised to it.
One of these objections icferred to its otiIn.
The first sugeMion of the project came from the
ftaptiit Association at Phil.tdclpl.ij, and the ori
ginal intention was certainly to establish a Semi
nary for theological instruction and for the edu
cation of Missionaries. That design, however,
in the progress of experiment, was abandoned,
and in the act which has passed there is not only
n religious discrimination, in its conductors or
in ita objects, but such discrimination is in terms
guarded against, and is further excluded by the
power, retained by Congress, of annulling the
charter at pleasure.
The second objection was to the details of the
organization of the College, as not being on that
scale which Congress ought to provide in a
College to be established at the seat of govern
ment. It is conceded, that this College is not
Such an institution as we should wish the Univer
sity of the Metropolis lobe. It Is probable, Thad
the people of the District been generally consul
ted, it would have been differently constituted.
Hut there is In it nothing exclusive. We have
seen that Congress will not establish a National
University; and it is to individual funds and indi
vidual enterprise that, for a time at least, system
atic education must be confided. If, in its pro
gress, this Institution be not generally approved,
rival Institutions will spring up, if the same zeal
can be embodied to rear them in the face of every
difficulty, as has been discovered by the fathers of
this undertaking.
On the whole- though this Institution may be
under the general direction of persons of a par
ticular religious denomination, we trust it will
be found to be under the management of liberal
as well as learned Professors, and that we shall

The Weather. Qx Friday morning, 19th ult.
the mercury of the thermometer was as low as
U degrees below zero. Several thermometers
exposed to a northern aspect, ranged as low as
18 and 20 degrees below zero. This depression
of the mercury indicates an intensity of cold,
which, from any iccord of the weather we have
seen, has never been surpassed in this town.
Early in the morning, the air was perfectly still,
but its keenness rendered a few moments expo
sure to it extremely painful. Tears were invol
untarily caused to start into the eyes, and the
breath immediately after being exposed, was con
gealed upon the eye brows, hair and clothes, whit
ening them with frosty particles. I rom those
parts of the river, which, from the rapidity of the
currents, were only partially frozen, such dense
volumes of vapour arose, that they occasioned a
thick fog to hang over the adjacent parts of the
town. On Market-street an object could not be
discerned at a greater distance than ten or twelve
feet. The columns of smoke had a most beau
tiful appearance, as. tlicy rose from the chimney
tops, dark and massive, with their edges splen

At a meeting of the President and Directors
of the Dank of the United States, held this day,
the following report was adopted, and ordered to
be printed, viz :
1 he committee on the state of the bunk, to
whom was referred the inquiry, whether, on the
first day of January, 1 82 1," the losses of the bank
had been restored, and the capital made whole,
REPORT.
That they have diligently examined the docu
ments in possession of the bank,; with iMicw to
ascertain the exact situation of the institution,
and now present, as a part of this report, a state'
ment of the losses' which have occurred in the
various departments of the instituiion, up to the
first day of January last.
This statement is founded on returns received
from the offices, made at the desire of this board,
and under the inspection of the officers and com
mittees of the various boards, who were specially
instructed to report on the character of (he debts
due to the offices over which they presided.
These reports are from all but the five west
ern offices, and are dated in June and December,'
1820, and contain a specification of all debts due
-at euth office, under the title of "--good,' 4 doubt
ful,' or bad. V
J he, losses in the western offices of Pittsburgh,
Childcotbe, Cincinnati, Lexington, and Louis
ville, are takcr:o-the report of "Mr.'' 'Wilson','
Cashier, made on the 25th of December last, to
this board, on his return from an inspection into
the affuiis of those olfitcs. On the accuracy of
which report your committee place great con
fidence. On this documentary evidence, your commit
tee report the losses oi the bunk, and its various
departments, on the Cist of January, 18 J I, to be
b 3,522,476 13.
And to make good that loss, the following
items are to be iclitd on ;
The balance of profit and loss, as stated
by the Lit dividend comniitUc, und

Contingent interest due from certain
banks, as credited in the bank state

pended debts due at bank and the of
fices, according to the estimate made
by the Cashier and assistant Cashier, 129,32.3 31
And this amount of the arrear of interest
due on loans on stock of the bank,
which mtvy bo considered as scum-d
by the excesa which the stock would
bring above its par value say on

Forming a total of ........ 3,74671 32
and being an- excess beyond the asci rtained. loss of
223,593 dollars 1& cents. ..
... In.the piececlirig estimate of means to cover
the losses of the bank, the committee; have omit
ted to introduce the earnings of the offices for
tlie-jnontn oi uecemoer, as wen as a considera
ble arrear of interest on debts deemed clouhTfuTi
but which hereafter may yield a considerable
sum.
".'These facts, therefore, in the opinion of the
committee, show thai the past losses of the bank
have been repaired, and that the capital was re
established and made vhcle on the first day pf
JaffUaTjrldfst.''And-ther -committee arc oLopiu?
ion that it is due to the public -and the stock
holders, on the part of the board, to. declare Ui
opinion, jn order that the state of the institution
may not remain a suojeci oi psuniui uoum among
ihose who-ar jiowM
and misrepresentation, as it regards those who
may desire to become interested. - In order,
however, .to give full information, and not to ex
cite too sanguine expectations of the future prof
its of the institution, it is fit to remark, that these
will necessarily be lessened for some time by the
present stagnant state of commerce, which pre
vents, the bank, from emplovmg its large capit!
advantageously, and by the Let, that tj.c- ii.te! est
