Mean time, tne treasures which it has raised must be m the custody of some branch of the Governments and, from what has. been already said, this ican be the Exe cutive only. No fourth estate, ijo bank power, is createdor recognised by the Uon stitution for this purpose, and its provisions are only fulfilled when the i revenue goes into the hands of the Executive. But, un der the name of the Executive, it is the President only who is pointed at iri the ex- pression of fears for the possession of the purse. And why should such fears be en- tertained ? The President would be as far removed as now from any personal contac with the public 'treasure. The machinery is now iii operation (and, if it requires iin- provement,. so let it be done,) by which the public treasure is to be received and .paid out and the hand of the President could not control a foliar, except; for purposes prescribed bylaw, without : committing a burglary or a great public trauO; There would be at least two persons between him and the public money the- Secretary of tneireasury and tne 1 reasurer-r-aud it would be, I should think, a violent pre sumption, and one little creditable to us as a people, if one to. whom we have confided so high and chgrniired a trust as .tlie rresi- deiicy of these States could be guijty of a Durgiary or a great puonc iraud. But the time -is deemed unsuitable for any change in the Government. It is said the country is now in great "agitation and 4istress and we Ought to postpone iny im portant change to a season of more quiet 1 'jr. ----- -.T ;! . ana, prosperity, in ow, sir, at strikes me that the very time for a change of measures is when the country does not' seem to be happy under those which are in operation, and that nothing could be more unwise than to. make changes- when lie country was quiet and Reasonably prosperous. What wpuld be thought ol the physician who, being called to the bed-side of a siek man, should say to, him, " My friend, you are quite sick, it is true, but I do not think this the time to give you medicine Were I to do so, it would irritate your stomach, and throw your system into commotion, and you would probably fret even worse than yoii do now. For the present, therefore, I will leave you to your chance, and you may possibly die ; sbut should you i be so lortunate as to get better, why then I will physic you' Such seems to me to be in substance the argument against present ac- tion upon the important alternatives before us. The wisdom of the past, the practice of onrown and other nations, is; cited against the plan of an independent Treasury. Our own nation, I believe, stands alone in the intimate connection which exists between the banks and the Treasury and; I havie already shown, by the letter; which I have read to Xhe Senate, how raucli our practice is at war with the considerate opinion of one of the most enlightened of our states men. In England,' too, -where the connec ion is much less intimate than here; many oi ncr wise men aa not nesitate to pro- nounce it, such as it is, injurious both to the bank and the State. In ojher nations, 1 believe the connection is unknown. The measure, finally, is spoken of as be Ling considered a. war between! the- Govern mem aau me DariK.s ; ana tnisit is saia, is a false issue. I agree, Mr. President, that it is a false issue a very, false issue : so false that I, for one, would never be a par ty to it. I woulq never consent to join the Government in making war upon any class oritiens, or any class of 'citizens, in ma- king var upon the Government. In advo eating this measure, I look4otthe banks as only incidentally concerned, i It is a mea sure oi great public interest, and, as I be hevc, of erreat public utilitv, i If the banks should happen to suffer by it, t shall regret it ; - ana, ii tney are oenentted by it,; it will add to the satisfaction - I exnect to derive from its otherwise benign operation.!

FROM THE AUGUSTA CONSTITUTION ALIST. Sksate Chamheu, Oct 9, 1837. Deaf Sir Justice to myself compels me reluctahtiytGr notice ail article in"the Con stitutionalist of the 3d inst. In thafearticle. you do me great injustice. Youassail me where"! am most sensitive- but at the same time most invxdnerable. If I have any pride asspolitician, it is the pride of consistency ; if I have any claim to merit, it is an adhe rence to principles ; if I have any benevo lent virtue, it is lasting gratitude to my friends ; and I wish no other- distinction than that of an honest devotion to the inte rests of my constituents. My claims and pretensions being humble,I assert them with the more resolution, and hope you will neither mistake my temper,' or my object, if I call on you to retract or. prove some of the charges you bring against me. ' A I ask, then, what are" " the great princi ples which the democratic party profess,'' which I have abandoned, arid what "changes of sentiment" I have undergone, which place The " in opposition to that party," or the " solemn declarations of the Legislature." It imports that I should know this, for it is perfectly true that I " was twice elected by that party to the exalted station" I hold ; and with the destiny of that party I hafe united my own -and shall stand or fall With it. Reminding me of this generous confi dence was gratuitous and unnecessary. It can neither increase my gratitude, or add to my obligations. No one knows better than you sir, that if my honors were un merited, they Were also unsolicited i'hxidi1 have always been at tlie disposal of those, who so generously conferred them. 'But what "solemn declarations of the Legislature" have I disregarded ? r Do you refer to my uniform opinion on (he subject of the United States Bank? My opinions on that subject have never been concealed or " changed, and were well known to the Legislature at the time they elected me. So were those of my then gifted colleague, whose opinions were in accordance with my own. What " change" then, have I undergone on this subject, that merits your animadversion ? I have done nothing, far ther than to defend myself from -unmerited denunciations, and these too, frequently from the mere popinjays of power, who most miraculously changed their opinions. I am not yet a convert to die modern doctrine (of some democrats) of forcing blessings upon the people, and I have neither given, or threatened any vote at. all calculated to aiarm mem on mis suoject, or wnicn tnrows me " in opposition" to these " solemn dec- larations," In what else have I recently taken a stand in opposition to the great principles of the democratic party ? Is it my opposition to the self-willed . follies of the Executive, adopted and persevered in against the almost unanimous resistance of the legislative authority of all parties ? The act which I most condemned was opposed in the body of which I am a member, by a unanimous vote with the Exception of one. It had no support in the cabinet before it was adopted, and was afterwards, on trial. - condemned by the people ; and again con demned with great unanimity by the whole legislative authority. What "change" i there here ? I, with my other democratic friends,resisted this measure from the be ginning ; and step, by step, foretold most of the mischievous consequences that would fiowfrom it. By unnecessarily and un naturally embarrassing the European money market and manufactures, .it struck down the exports of our southern planters 30 to 40 per cent. ; it. did this as plainly as the sun affords heat and light in addition to all the other mischiefs it produced. With this conviction resting upon my mind, it is true that I did not join some others in ap plauding this Executive triumph over the legislative authority ; or obsequiously esti mate the glories of Executive violence by the misery and mischief it produced. I did iot know that the great principles of the democratic party required me to do this ; or to consider one man the party, and ano ther man the government. Nor did I know that my. constituents required me to lick the hand that plundered them, and applaud the very measures that Iknow to' have ta ken from their mouths the bread which their honest industry has earned. If I have mis taken the great principles bf the party in this particular, it is obvious that I am not a nt representative ior it. i shall therefore return home in a few weeks and surrender a trust, you say I -cannot honorably hold. I have from our friends many written evi dences, that they still consider democracy to mean the will of the people. But it is enough for me to know, sir, some of my friends are dissatisfied ; and I wish it un derstood, that I shall not embarrass them by being a candidate for .re-election. By the kindness of my friends, I came into office without trouble to myself; I intend to jgo out, without trouble to them. . Thatthey can select a successor whp will serve tuern, with more ability, I readily admit ; thathey can select one who will feel a more honest devotion to their interest, I, with confidence, deny. In conclusion, I hone vou will "with draw- your charges of inconsistency canoT pva.iau;y , ur uo me me justice to puotisn this lettef with-gratitude to yourself ajad other.friends foVast confidence, and regret irin ...:i.U.l ' .

We would show that the exertions of the ' Whig press have not been without their effectsthat the outrages of this Administration have not been without their retributive conse quences. These election returns jnay be regarded as corollaries to the great truths, for which the whigs have been contending, and we can neither slight nor abridge these manifestations of popular resentment and redemption. The news from Georgia and New Jer Jersey is of the most animating character. The result of the local elections in those States, will, we believe, terminate in the complete triumph of the Whigs. The chan ges have been quite as encouraging as those which have eventuated in the disenthral ment of Maine and Rhode Island. More Uraii -two-thirds of the State authorities throughout the Union, must soon be array ed in determined opposition to Van Buren ism. Our - rfcmocraJz'ePresident will, soon have the .conviction irresistibly forced upon him, that the, democracy of numbers, is against him and his measures, by the most formidable majorities, He may Sound the alarm for his army of spendaries to rally around him, and pay them, their wages in gold and silver, wrung from a harrassed and long suffering people, but he will find the opposition of numbers ' toooverwhelm ing to be resisted by chicanery, intrigue, and corruption. The developments of pub lic sentiment are too decisive to admit of a question or a doubt. The people are mov ing in masses to the rescue. The signs of their rising are unequivocal. Duped and deceived, they may have been, but recre antly submissive to the exposed fraud and oppression of a wicked Administration, they never can be ! The dynasty of the office-holders is tottering to its fall. Boston Atlas. WHIG JUBIIE.

They areow pn their way to town. ! Since writing the above, the prisoners have been brought to town and confined in the Fort. There are upwards of eighty warriors. Powell, Coa-bajo, and several sub chiefs are among the captured. The capture took place .about a mile from Fort Peyton. -The talk was a very short one. They stated that tHey had been invited by Philip to come and hear what propositions were to be made to them; that they did not Ucorne to deliver themselves-up as prisoners, and nothing wasaid that seemed to indi cate that they , were yet conquered. As soon as' this fact "was ascertained, at a pre concerted signal they were surrounded By our troops, and all taken prisoners. TJiey were completely surprised and captured without bloodshed. . This is another .success upon which i we have reason to "rejoice, and i ( will lead to still more beneficial results. A letter received by a gentlemaii of .his city dated 22d instant, confirms the abcve, and gives information that G erf. -Jesup was at St. Augustine. The Fayetieville Obsejycr, in reference tol the above, says : t . . It appears that the Indians had come for ward to have a talk, under a flag o truce, which is a protection among " all civilized nations, when Gen. Hernandez, Jessup's second in command, violated the-truce, and made prisoners of tlie whole party. .Whilst we rejoice, lor the sake of humanity, that it is a bloodless victory, we cannot but grieve to think this the Only mode in which the whole army, with its host of Generals, has ever been able to obtain any important ad vantage over the savages. The closing scene, it this be such, is more disgraceful than any previous one. We doubt wheth er the savages themselves would have beerf guilty of such a trick. " THOU JIEASONEST WELL."

Now we do most solemnly protest against such proceedings in out village, and assign the following reasons, viz : 1st.

It is not read by 100th part a many" people as if printed in the paper, and of course docs not do the advertiser half as much good. We print, say 1200 papers weekly, which are distributed all over town, this and several other counties, besides sending copies to almost every portion of the Untied States. When a paper goes into a family, every member must read it, and we think, that we may safely say, that 5,000 persons wiJI read each number of a newspaper, where it has a circulation of 1200. Besides .this, it is in such form as to render. it intelli gible to ally even the- most illiterate rea der.
