Its chief aim has been to become the medium, and express the views of that w ide and respec table community of merchants, among whom it has been most warmly and earnestly patronized. Since the agitation which commenced the pre sent political contest, and indeed before its be ginning, the course of this journal, without a proper knowledge of the fact on our parts, has been constantly conflicting with the interests and predilections of its supporters. Recent indications having proved this too conclusively for denial, it becomes us to adopt that course which is required by those manifestations, and 1 no longer to do violence to the bias of our ear- nest aunerents ana most ardent Iriends. "It is not suddenly, that we have arrived -at those conclusions, or meditated the expression of our present determination. We have been for some time impressed with the fallacy of op posing these measures or institutions, for some of which no plausible substitutes have been of-! fered, or supporting those which their warmest advocates have acknowledged as present im possibilities. If we have adhered somewhat to one side of these questions, it has only been because the opposing parties have not consider ed this press as the proper medium for combat ing the sentiments which irmight contain! Had they been offered, a spirit of impartiality, and desire to second the wishes of our firmest friends, would have yielded them speedy admission. "Having ascertained the wishes of our pa trons, we shall make it our constant aim to com ply with them ; especially a"s we are convinced of their foundation in reason, We arc resol ved not to lose sight of the original and chief object of our Gazette the weal of the mercan tile compact of Philadelphia. That which con flicts with this; especially if it be of doubtful benefit, should be unhesitatingly abandoned ; and knowing as we do, the mutual dependence which exists between the commercial and all other pursuits of the republic, we cannot doubt that their cause is the cause of the country." The tone of this article is a sufficient indica tion of the constraint under which it was writ ten, " Recent indication" "having thus ascer tained the will of our patrons," and like expres sions, prove that the Editor of the Gazette is about to adopt a course at war with the impul ses of his own heart and the dictates of his ovvn We are enabled to inform our readers power of the Bank and of Bank men, although, I unimrchasabL ? , unPurcnas1e? am' in like circumstances, we should ask no pity for j ers, who mean "mrs' mc.chamcs and labour ourselves.

WORSE AND WORSE!! Let the proud freemen of America read the following, and then say whether lhe Bank, which has its tiirone, and clanks its chains to its trem bling slaves in Philadelphia, deserves the sup port of any honest man! Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated October 4, 1832. "The case of compulsion and proscription upon Smith, of the Philadelphia Gazette, was w"oise than I mentioned in my last. When he bought the establishment, he borrowed money from his MOTHER and gave a judgrnent bond. His BROTHERS, who are violent Clay men, united with the party, and induced HER to con sent to enter up a judgment and sell him but immediately, unless he would go over. .This, in addition to the threat of the committee, ap pointed by a mcetinsc of the party) to go round the next day, and induce his subscribers to with draw, all came upon him at his house in the eve ning, unexpectedly, and without any previous intimation whatever! He proposed, to become neutral. NO. He asked for time to dispose of the establishment. NO. This is the treat ment he received. These are the kind, bene volent, just and liberal feelings of Clay men! It is the kindness which vultures show to la mbs." Heavens ! Is this a land of freedom ? D; we boast of free thought, free speech, and a free press ? This is BANK FREEDOM. Is the integrity of the citizen proof against all the arguments, threats, and bribes, of the agents and minions of the Bank ?

"i his paper was for a great many years while Relf was the proprietor, a federal paper of the old stamp. It afterwards fell into the hands of Kitchen who sold it to Smith and Gouge. It was the advocate of General Jack son in 1628. Of late it has been lukewarm from necessity, being a commercial paper and supported principally by merchants, the most of whom are Bank men. Whenever the editor gave place to any thing against the Bank, or in favor of General Jackson, he was sure to suffer the next day by the withdrawal of a number of his subscribers. On Saturday lai he lost 6 or 8 at $20 per annum, for publishing on Friday an article sustaining General Jackson s con struction of the constitution as regards himself and the Supreme Court, I think it was.This however, was but the precursor of proscrip tion! Last week there was a meeting of Clay Bank men; a committee was appointed to go round among his subscribers and insist upon their, one and all discontinuing his paper uiv less he would come over to them.
