We quote below, the testimony of the distin guished LangdoN Cheves, once President of the United States Bank, (and a faithfol and honest one too,) as well as Madison, Jefferson, Whit, and Washington. We learn hat our friendst in the recent Congressional tanvasselaborated this point with great power, and tegretto rearn that in some Districts (particularly the "second, Mr. Craige's) the public mind had .been much' abused on this point . Oh that-the people would learn, and understand, and" profit by-experienc L Are we of the number of thosfe who, in the patri otic language of the giled Patrick Henry, have eyes but see not, and ears and hear not? Could our honest-hearted farmers visit-Philadelphia, the immediate scene of the- monstrous" cor ruptions of the Bank,rand see the streets literally watered with the tears,o the widows and orphans beggared by the -corruptions and -villaay-of this Institution, they never could support a Bank can didate. It is a notorious fac$ that, in Pennsylva nia, a United States Bank-isTodious to the great body of the citizens, of both parties. -ShnlL-we take up the thrown off follieof out predecessors?

Upon'-ihe Speakers' chair becominw ing vacant, by th appointment of Mr. . : . rv . of the commissioners to negotiate the peace, as one Mr. Cheves was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Madison's opinion as to the constitution ality of a Bank, is thus" given : - - - "This power (to incorporate a ljajik) was pro posed to be vested in Congress, in the original, plan, reported by the committee of the Conven tion, among the" enumeration of'pos whtc1i now form the eighth section of the 1st article-" ' but that after three-days' ardent dvbatc jdo the spe cial subject, in that body, the powr. was. rejected and stricken out, upon the principle that it was'a power improper to be vested "in the General Oo' vernment" ; Mr. Jefferson, -speak-ing orf tha constitution ality of such an institution, says: ' ".' " I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground, that, 'all powers not .dele gated to .the United States by the constitution, nor - prohibit d by it to the States-" are reserve-1 to trte States or the people.'

"THE WHIG TAfilFT. TheTolIowing extract from a speech ' recently delivered byC. C.

But' what has it done ? Need you ask that ; question 1. - When did. power, ever- fail, reckless of solemn pledges, to gratify its master passions ? The Whigs have passed a highProtective Tariff bill, which Wnv-Cost Johnson, a distinguished whig member of ConT grcss, who voted for it declared in a letter I hold in my band, (in the New York Courier and En quirer of January 14 1843.) "will give abundant protection f' a bill with which the manufacturers expressed themselves satisfied, and the passage of which was hailed with bursts of joy throughout all Yankee Jand. TheVVhig State Convention of the young men of New York, held recently at Auburn, passed a formfJt resolution of thanks' to the Whig Congress for the re-establishment of "a Protective. Tariff.",. That Protective Tariff -bill imposes .discriminating duties in a vor bf Ameri can fhbru ranging from 30 to 400 per cent." on the actual value of the imported article; irr utter defiance of the vital spirit and express letter Of the Compromise Act. - Some of its provisionsjire prohibitory, as is manifest from the fact, that many packages.of gqpds, ordered before the passage of the bill, were sent back on their arrival in this country, because the importer would not sell therri : here foVcost,- with the duty : superadded. - (And1 vet duties don't raise prices:) The revenue has thus.been considerably diminished, at,a time when your Treasury is bankrupt ; your revenue defi cient: and a debt of nearly thirty mH I fous hang ing like a-miflstbne around youraiecks.
