Having alluded, in our last number, to tjie burning in effigy, by an enraged mob, of two or three members of the Pennsylvania Senate, in consequence of their votes in favor of the United Slates Banlt, it seems due to the individuals thus honored, as well as to a correct understanding of tho matter in controversy, that they -should be heard in their own defence. Wo therefore insert below communications addressed to their respective constituents by two of these Senators Messrs. Burden and Penrose explanatory of the course they pursued on tho occasion referred to, with the single remark, that these gentlemen have heretofore uniformly acted with the Jackson party; and that their entire devotion to its interests never was questioned until after their intention to support the hill became manifest. It may perhaps not bo improper for us to remark, that we should not have noticed the re-charter of the United States Dank by Pennsyl vania, except by a single announcement of the fact as an ordinary articlo of news, had we not witnessed with indignation tho efforts made by a certain class of politicians to render the institution odious to the American peoplo, by a retort to cvory kind of misrepresentation, false hood, and calumny. We have no greater lovo for this Bank than for any oilier now in existence: and do not expect to receive any advantage from it, except that which a sound circulating medium, and ample commercial facilities, must necessarily aflbrd to even the most humble mem bor of the community. Wo are awaro that not -withstanding the checks by which it is surround oil, this, as well as all other corporations, may possibly abuse its privileges. But believing also that the immense benefits which it will immediately confer on Pennsylvania, and in a smaller degree on the neighboring States, will greatly exceed the evils to which it may give rise, we can imagine no reason against its rc charter which may not be used tvilh equal force against all social or political institutions, our own happy funn of Government not oxcept ed. We are, therofore, perfectly willing tliat it should go into operation unmolested, in full confidence that, if it should venture to transcend its powers, or to exercise them to tho injury of the public, the proper corrective will be promptly applied by the legitimate authority the people. Here follow the communications referred to at the commencement of this article: MR. BURDEN'S LETTER. To the Commiiiionert of the District ofSouthwark, county of Philadelphia. Gentlemen: Your communication, dated 2ath January, did not reach mo till tho 0th of this month, since which time I have been too much D0oupicfl with legislative duties to reply. When vour letter wan received, I had advoca ted the bill to which your proceedings refer; the discussions on the bill during its different stupes, have boon so imperfectly reported, that in preler- ence to referring to them ns explanations of my course, I shall, in bb brief a manner as possible, state to you the reasons which operated on my mind in advocating tho measure. In 1834, opposed to the rcchartcr of tho Na tional Bank, I was anxious fur tho establishment of a State institution, and joined with most of the orominont opponents of the United States Bank, in petitions to the Legislature for the charter of a bank of ten millions of capital; my own opinion at the time was, that a much larger amount was necessary. The followins extracts from tho mem orials presented in April, 1834, and signed by all the prominent men of the democratic parly, will how how far I am consistent in my support of the present bill, and will also show the opinions respecting the necessity of a large hank; they apply as well to a bank of thirty-fivo millions as to one of ten millions. The difference is in degree, not in kind. Extracts from the memorial addressed to our Le gislature., til April, lrf.M. "That thoy are induced to call the attention of the Ucneral Assembly ol 1'onnsyivania, totnostiu-joct of a State bank on a large scale, not moro by the present embarrassed stato ol the hnancial con ,cern of tho commonwealth, and the distresses ex isting throughout the community generally, than from a conviction that it is in the power ol trie uen oral Assembly, to afford at oni and tho aamo timo reliet trom them, ana secure Mgniy important oeu- ejlti, present and future, to the public interests ol the Stato, and tho private wellaro ot its citizens "But. bb citizens of Pennsylvania, there is an Arthur motive for the exercise of the power of the oneral Assembly the continuance and even tho preservation ot our great system ot intornai improvements. This has now bacomo insopuably connected with the welfare of the Stato and its citizens. It baa prncoeded to an extent which impo riously demands its completion. The large sums already expended will otherwise hsve been iniu diciously thrown away. Even the public credit of tho State, always high, will bo endangered, and Dublic burdens will have to be imposed in forms unaccordant with either the interests or feelings ,of tho people." "The solid wealth and increasing resources of the State of Pennsylvania, will give to her establishment a weight and confidence co-extensive with .the federal union. Other States might therefore ;be induced to mako such arrangements with her, -as to receive the benefit of thoso; at the same .time the mutual facilities of trade might be in creased, and uniformity given to the circulating medium of commerce, to an extent wnion wouiu Drove a ureal material benefit without being at tended with Borious disadvantages or objections." "It is apparent that soma motive must bo resorted toforattaininethesoonds.and it is not ditri cult to foresee that the most probable mode would be tho creation of more Stato banks with small capitals. These might incrcaso tho circulation ofi paper, but the aid thus givon to commorce would be fictitious, and the currency thus established would be any thing but sound and uniform. It would therefore seem the evident policy of tho General Assembly to adopt a system which would produce the desired results, and not only avoid, but actually prevent these evils." w ith a view to relieve the state in her present financial difficulties, and to afford it a certain fund for the progress of its internal improvements, the bank should bo obliged to furnish a certain sum per annum, at an interest of five per cent., not exceeding in tho whole $"),000,000. That every portion ot me commonwealth might elloctually participate in tho advantages of tho measure, and that a circulating medium of equal and undoubted valuo might bo created, mtNcnES of tho Stato bank might bo established at different parts of the State; nor do your memorialists think it wduld be necessary to stop hero. They boliovo tho credit of Pennsylvania, and tlioconlidenco reposed in it by the rest of the Union, would render it possible, and even advisable, to establish in them branches of the same institution, under such regulations as their respective Legislatures might authorize." "They venture, however, to assort with confi dence, that the passage of such a law would im mediately restore to tho whole community that commercial prosperity, which has of lato ceased to exist, place on a fair and firm footing tho finances of the State, carry rapidly to completion our great Bvstem of internal improvements, afford a just source of profit and enrichment ti the com monwealth, independent ot taxation, anil prove a safeguard against tho evils likely to arise from the recurrence of such events as tlmse which at present affect our public resources and individual welfare." Uead tho above, compare tho requests of the petitioners with tlio present bill, which gives ;io branches out of the Stato, which ufi'ords millions for improvement, and millions fur a common school fund. Hetore the commencement ot tho present session, my thoughts wore anxiously directed to tho situation of tho State and its finances. Tho National bank was rapidly hastening to its termination, and the anticipations of doprociated currency operating on tho foreign market,-was producing a geno-ral reduction of American stocks, which promised to eventuate in the return of those Blocks in largo quan-titiesto the United States. Pennsylvania, indebted twenty-four millions (fourtoen millions to foreigners) for her canals and rail roads, requiring more money to mush anil mako them productive, is deeply interested in supporting tho currency and maintaining tho public credit abroad. To loso the moneyed advantages resulting from the operations of acapital of twenty-four millions of dullars employed in domestic exchange, wh'ch can only bo conducted by a large institution; to sustain the cmbarrassmonts accruing from tho withdrawal of capital and diminution of credit abroad, would bo almost ruinous to the prosperity of the Stnto and its commercial metropolis. Thcso considerations confirmed me in the opinion, that Pennsylvania ought to establish a bank, with a capital larger than other States have recently established. I would havo preferred the incorporation of such an institution with other stockholders than those of tho present National bank; but the ditlkulty of retaining tho foreign capital, tho immediate, demand of the State treasury, the absolute necessity of speedy appropriations to repair and finish the works of internal improvement, convinced mo tint it was more to tho interest of tlio State to conti nue the present machino under proper restrictions. and to secure tho advantages of a currency which s known and valued not only in the United States, but in every country where a credit system is es- tahlixhed. With a bank of thirty-five millions, tho port of Philadelphia will retain its present increased trade: by tho completion of tho Stato improvements, and by additional bank capital, this trado will be increased beyond the prophecies of man. By facili ties to our merchants, whicn will enable them to advanco on tho tobacco and cotton crops, those staples of tho valley ot Mississippi will bo brought to our rharves, and the supplies ot that vast and rnpidly increasing country will bo drawn from Philadelphia. Louisiana, with a population of 220,000, and a bank capital of thirty-four millions, now commands that trado. Pennsylvania, with har million anil a half of population, and hor bank capital of Ih.OUO,- 000, cannot command it: retain and "increase the capital, and tho trado will come. The cotton exported in 1792 amounted to 32, 000 dollars: last year it was nearly ")0,00(,00H. Tho creat sales of government land, and the ad vanced prices o( the last year in tho cotton lali tilde, warrant the expectation of a great in- crease of this production. l ime will not permit me to datnil the auvan (aires of a proper credit system; suffice it to say that the establishment of the Stato bank, and a further increase of capital, will plane Pennsyl vania where sho ought to bo, I lie first among the States hcrgrcat internal resources will be brought forth, and avast and rich portion of the Union will be made tributary to her prosperity. The friends of tho bill to incorporate a slate bank, to bo called a United Stales Dank, having made such amendments as they believed to be proper restrictions, I determined to support it. My course has been censured asAnti-Democratic; to this I shall reply in a few words. I have always been a Democrat, and so far have carried nartv. that 1 never vol voted, what is lormeu uy partisans, "o scratched ticket," nor have I ever been a candidate for any but tho regular Domo- oratia party. Lot thoso who assume to instruct a Democrat say as much. I have siiported the party, becauso I believed its interests to he identified with those of tho country. If their interests bo in opposition, I will nothesitato to prefer Dime of country to party. I have always thought that the proper mode of sustaining party, was to support measures conducive- to the prosperity of the people; any party sustainod on othor principles, must, and ought to perish. I havo received letters from some of the old est and most prominent Democrats, in favor of the measure. 1 havo private lettors irom others of the satno tenor, who havo not the moral courage toslom momentary excitement by a public avowal. I have lettors from others, who tell mo that the bill will be a great advantago to the Stato and to Philadelphia. I have filed all tho letters. I know of no party in this moasuro, unless junior editor of a paper under the pntronatre of the Senate can, without cansultinguHlnamj JJemo cralic Senator, issue his decree and have tho Senators to oboy it. True, his dictum was echo ed by the Pcnnsylvaiiian, a paper which is so purely Democratic, and by the awakened Sentinel which feared again to bo caught lagging; but all tho editorial efforts to produce an ex-citomont among the peoplo by appeals to the worst passions, and by slandors as false as they are malicious, havo failed, and will fail to produce the efloct intondod a few ignorant por-sons may bo docoived, but the pooplo will ap-provo of the incasuro. Let tho bill bo read-its advantages and restrictions considered, and all tho efforts of time serving professors ol Do-mncraoy'will be unavailing. You say that "should any member so far for get his duty to his constituents as to voto for tho bill, he would bo coiiiidorcd as having for feited all furlhor claim upon their confidence." With the excontion of one session, I have boon the representative of the county of Philadelphia since 1625-0. During all that period I have never received instruction from my constitu ents (for I do not consider meetings held in the city as having any thing to do with me,) nor have I ever been called to account for any vote given by me in the Legislature. Of such constituents any man might be proud. By them I have been sustained; and if I know myself, I have to the best of my judgment and ability used every exertion to sustain and promote their interests. If in support of the bank bill I lose that confidence which they have hitherto reposed in me, it will be a matter of deep regret. I became a candidate for a seat in the Senate in 1834, at their solicitation, and against my own wishes. I was elected by a majority in the two Congressional districts which composed the county, by a larger vote than the Congressional candidates. So soon as I shall bo convinced that (he majority of my constituents, after having examined the bill, disapprove of my vote, I will cheerfully resign my seat, and give them an opportunity of electing' some citizen in whom they place more confidence. Whatever may be their decision, I shall always bo gratoful fur the manner and spirit with which they havo hitherto sustained me; and to none more, to none so much as to the people of the District of Southwark.. I have, after much reflection, taken a course uninfluenced by foar, favor or all'oction a course which I believed, and still believe to be in accordance with tho wishes of a majority of the people. Whatever may be the cousequonccs to myself, my sincere prayer is, that the measure will tend to advance the interests and promote the prosperity of my native State. With sentiments of esteem and respect, I have the honor to be, Your fellow citizen, J. It. BURDEN. Senate Chamber, Feb. 12(A, 1836. MR. PENROSE'S LETTER. To the citizens ofthe Sixteenth Senatorial District, composed of the counties of Cumberland and Perry . Fellow-Citizens: So much misrepresentation of tho bill entitled "An Ant to ropeal the State tax on real and personal property, and to continue and extend the improvements of the State by rail roads and canals, and to charter a Slate bank to be called the United Slates bank," now before the Senate, has been made, that I am not surprised at tho excitement which has been produced in the minds of many about it; nay, it is a source of unexpected pleasure to me to discover that the native good sense of an honest people is rapidly overcoming the influence of tho exaggerated statements of heated partisans. However indifforeot I may bo to personal considerations, I should be unworthy of that confidenco which conferred upon me my present trust, by a majority larger, 1 believe, than ever was given in that district on any former occa sion, if I did not desire that my course on this great question should meet with your approba tion. I intend, ns soon as it can he done, to lay be fore you a calm statement of this question, and tho reasons hy which 1 have felt bound in con science to go for a measure upon which, I think can show you, depends in a great degree your personal prosperity, and the prosperity of (he State. The subject is one of such magnitude, that you cannot expect that I shall be able to do this at once. It will require time to preparo the argument, and that timo I must obtain by setting apart so much as can be spared Irom my public duties. Your own sense of justice will con vince you that you ought not to form an opinion until you have heard (he evidence, and (he argument. I have too much respect for your honesty and intelligence, to suppose that you would condemn any thing or any body, without having been fully informed or the merits ot that thing, or without giving to the person accused a full and impartial hearing. Tho man who values reputation himself, and fcols conscious of an honest heart, is ever tender of the reputation of others, and the last (o suppose that others arc corrupt; while it is equally true that the creature who is notorious fur a disregard of moral obligations, who is himself degraded, is ever ready and willing to suppose others to be as bad as himself, and the first to raise a cry against his fellow men. I ask to be patiently heard. This is all I ask; and if I should fail to convince any of you that I have been right in my courso as your rcpre scntalive upon this question, I think that when you have been fully informed on the subject, you will have the candor to acknowledge that the argument is one which might well control tho courso oT a patriot, and an honest man. For the present I shall content myself with simplo statement of the positions or points which 1 design to malce and sustain. 1. I'hey who toll you that the present Lcgisla (tire, or any other Legislature of any Stato, has, can, or will charter or rechartor a bank of the United States or a National bank, tell you that which is wholly untruo.and they insult your in tellitronce when they toll you so. The General Government, composed of the President of the United States, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States, can alone charier or rechartor a National bank: it is plain that no Slate Government can do this, 1 ho llank ol the United States, with a cap ital of thirty-five millions of dollars, chartered by Cuagross in l-Mltl, located in Philadelphia and having in its vaults some thirteen millions of hard dollars, will expire hy the limitation of its charter on the 3d of March noxt; and our Legislature are about to charter a iuu Slate bank, for thoy can mako nothing elso, to be called the llank of the United States, just as our Legislature in 1782 made a State bank, and called it the Bank of North America. That being the name of a National or United States bank, which thoretofore had been chartered by Congress. 3. The reasons fur making this new Slate bank are: 1. That it may keep these hard dollars, this specie and this capital in our State, instead of permitting it to go to .Maryland, which has offered to charter it for much less money than the owners nf it are willing to give our Slate, or to Now York, where it is said there exists much anxiety that they may got it. 2. That we may be able to repeal our tax law, so burdensome to the people, and prevent the necessity which will inevitably exist, with out it, of re-enacting those laws, and doubling or trebling the amount ol thoso taxes, already sufficiently oppressive. 3. We make this State bank, because by do ing so we get moro than five millions of dollars (obe applied towards finishing our great lines of internal improvement, and to secure a school fund for common schools, to enligbton tho poo plo without taxing them, so that the poor man's son shall have the blessing of education equally with tho rich. On this point I am prepared to show, that (he extension of our improvements recommended by Governor Wolf, and provided for in this bill, can bo made, if it passes, without resorting to taxation. 4. We make this State bank, because if we did not, but suffer tho capital now in the United States llank to loave our Stato, it would bankrupt the Stato, and spread ruin among hor people. Your manufactories would be prostra ted; the profits of the farmer, who depends for the sale of his produce upon the manufacturer, must be lessened. The consequence of this would be a fall in tho price of land, while the derangement of our State finances would render necessary the increase of the burden of taxation, which the farmers and other classes of the community would be so much less able to bear. And while we mourned over our distress, we should be obliged in bitterness to reproach ourselves for the mad folly which had expelled wealth from our borders, to build it up in any other State.- It would be a painful contrast. 5. We make this new State bank, because it will open up the immenso resources of our State, our iron and our coal, and draw from the West and South the trade of tho valloy of tho Mississippi, giving us the largest portion of the cotton trade; the annual value of which is sixty millions of dullars. Because it will not only enrich our State, but increase the wealth and comfort, the welfare and happiness of every individual in the community. 6. Wo have called this new State bank by an old name; we have called it "Tho Bank of the United Slates;" we have called it by the name of an institution which will expire in a few days: 1. Because if we have this old name, the notes of the new bank will be struck from the same plates from which tho notes ofthe old and dead national hank were struck, and tho poople who have already got acquainted wiih those oules, will not besu likely to be deceived by counterfeit nutes, as if tho notes were the notes of a hank having a now name, and of course having a different appearance. 2. Because (his old namo has got great credit in the commercial world, so great that a bill of exchange of the Bank of the United States will sell in l-hina at from 10 to 15 per cent, advance.3. Because the name in itself is a good one: it is the name of our country designating our State bank; and surely there is no man among us, who slioitld be ashamed of the namo of his country The United States. 5. We have in ado the State bank becauso it is the only way in which tho estnhlisincnt of a National bank, or a bank of the United States, can be prevented. 1. The Bank ofthe United States which was made by Congress in 1810, was made under a necessity which overcame the constitutional objections of Air. Madison, who was then President, and constrained the country to take refuge in a National bank, from the frauds and corruptions of the small State bank system. 1 he small State banks then amounting to 270, as is always the case with small banks, increased their note circulation, and expanded their business until the whole currency or the country had become corrupt. Specie or hard money was banished altogether. These 270 banks spread throughout the Union, with a capital of 85 millions, had a bank nute circulation of ono hun dred and ten millions of dollars, and had but nineteen millions of specie in their vaults to meet this circulation. The government was threatened with bank ruptcy, commerce was embarrassed, and our farmers and mechanics suffered severely. To escape from this Stato of things, the Con gress of 1410 made a National hank. 2. If we do not mako this large Stale bank, we shall again fall into this small Slate bank system, and we shall suffer from a resort to it from our sisler States; and if we do fall into it, n a very Tew years our currency will bo cor rupt: we shall then be unable to mako a lanre Slate bank, Tor we shall not then have (he means; and the people will fly from oppression, to the dangerous expedient of creating a National bank a bank or the United Slates. 0. Tho objections which existed against the United States Hank not only do not exist against this large Stato bank, but thoso who eslablisl this State bank, resort to the only means which will make opposition (o a National bank effec tual. This bank being established, it settles (he policy of the country fur thirty years, and perhaps forever, against the establishment of a National bank or bank of the United States. The objections (o (he bank of (he United States established by the general government, are, 1. That the Constitution of the United States creating a government of limited powers, does not permit tho establishment of such an institii tion. 2. The establishment of a bank of the United States by the General Government, is hold to be dangerous (o the liberties of the people of the different States; because, at Mr. Jefferson said it can shoot Us branches at pleasure into the different States, being entirely beyond their con trol. 1 bus thepowcror the General Government was greatly augmented; and if at any time the general government should act in concert with it, it would ho eminently dangerous to (he lib ertics of the State and in that way to the peo pie. 3. The establishment of this now Stato bank presents no constitutional objection, the most formidable perhaps of any, with the largest pari of the people of the Unitod States who object to a National bank. So far too from being dangerous in the sense in which Mr. Jefferson spoke of it, a State bank such as this, will be a guard against such danger. For the simple reason that while a National bank confers dangerous power on the General Government, (his State bank will strengthen our. Stato to resist that tendency lo consolidation, which Mr. Jefferson so constantly apprehended. This State bank is under our control, subject to our government, restricted to an extont which the most fearful will say is severe. 7. We have made this bank with a capital or of thirty-five millions. I will show you beroaf- lor, that such is the vast increase or our Pennsylvania trade, that this capital is not only not too much, but in a very few years will not be enough. This point will require a referenco to many facts in my possession. 8. We have made this bank with a chartor for thirty years, because some portion of our State debt becomes due within that time, and we have comnellod our new State bank to lond us wlion the State shall want it seven millions of dollars, at four per cent, interest; and wo have placed the expiration of tho charter of our State bank, at a period, when the state will be tinuer no necessity to renew it, II it shall not bo deem ed advisable, or under no necessity to renew it upon terms unfavorable to the commonwealth. 0. It is well known to all of you, that I have been the warm advocnto of a national conven tion, fur the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and Vico Presidency of the United Slatos. Those of the democratio members of the Legislature of 1834, who actod with mo, will remeinbor that I took apart in the caucus which was held on this subject, which at all event evinced zeal at a tune when there was much hesitation on (his question. I have never yet faltered in in opinion of (he propriety of (be policy then recommended to the party. I have supported Mr. Van Huron for (he Presidency with equal ardor. And if (he question involved in tho creation of this bank is to be considered a political question, in the aspect of promoting the success of parly movements, I submit to (ho cool reflection of sensible men, to say, wbelhor by the establishment of this Stale bank, we do not disentanglo Mr. Van Buren from the vexed question of a National bank. I am however governed in my course by higher considerations which no mere party feeling can control, My object is to build up the prosperity of my native State, to cultivate the minds of hor children, to develop her great resources, and place her where she deserves to be, on an equal footing with the first Stale in the Union. No mere party and superficial excitement shall control me on a question like this. It belongs to the peoplo; it is not a party question; it is a Pennsylvania question: and nothing but an interference in that question, which belongs exclusively to us as Pennsylvanians to consider, by tho candidate of the national convention for tho Presidency, would induce mo to believe that the large mass of Pennsylvania democracy which will bo found in support of this great moasuro, wero absolved from their parly obit gations to support him. Wo may love Cnjsar much, but we lovo Koine moro, I regret to say that our party papers have not hesitated lo charge upon your representatives, that they have been corrupted to betray their trust, to sell your liberties. Such charges are a gross insult upon tho character of vour Slate, degrading her not only in the eyes of our sister States, hut of tho whole world. But a few days since this charge, upon which so much excitement has been built, assumed a specific form. It has been boforo a committee of investigation; public evidence has boon taken; and that evidence proves the u ttor fully of (he charge, and the wickedness of those who have used it for effect. Fur tho present, I shall say no more, con-teuting myself with the conviction of my entire tiueiily to your interests, and the interests of my native State, and disregarding all consequences which can affect my personal interests in mo politics ot the day. 1 consider this but a small sacrifico lo be mado fur tho good of my country, and if it be required at my hands, I will make it ohcorfully; but I wjll say, that although you may obtain another representative, who will be willing to sacrifice his principles to a supposed party nre juuiuu, yuu win una none who lias been more anxious to promote your iutorosts and the welfare of his country, or who moro cheerfully an- knowledges the deep obligations under which he has been laid by your generous confidenco, and your manly support. 1 am, very respecllully, Your friend and follow-citi.on, CHARLES It.

JOHN II. WOOD. Cincinnati, Feb. 11136. TO BE EDITED DY J. BAILIUCHC. The high importance of disseminating correct infor mation among the great body of the American people, at the present alarming crisis in our national affairs) being universally admitted, it is deemed unnecessary to assign at length the reasons which seem to require the publication of a scmi-weckly newspaper at tho scat of government of this great Stato, at lenst until tho coming struggle for the next Presidency shnll havo boen brought to a close. Suffico it to observe, that a weekly journal, howevor capacious, must necessarily be too contracted, as well as too tardy in its operations, to mcot tho cxi genciesof the times. Two regular numbers per week, it is hehoved, will, in a great measure, supply tho ac knowledged deficiency. In order, thoroforc, to insure a largo circulation to the proposed publication, and place it within tho reach of every one, tho price of subscrip tion has been brought down to the lowest possible rate As tho political opinions of tho Editor aro not un known in Ohio, it is deemed unnecessary to give any olhcr pledge of the course he intends to pursue, than to ohscrvo that, being fully persuaded tho election of Martis Vax Buren to tho next Presidency must prove highly detrimental to the public interest, as well as im minently dangerous to tho liberties of the citizen, he will zealously labor to provent so dcplornble a result, by afibrdingan active, andsj far as may depend tiponhim an efficient support to THE CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE. From Mnino to Georgia, tho freemen of the United States ahf. nusiuNu to the rescue ok the coun-ry with a spirit worthy of the days of '"ti. Nothing more is therefore necessary to socuro to them an easy and complete triumph over the office-holders, than a perfect organization. To effect this, on honorable and lasting principles, shall be a lending object of tho Journal; and while most cordially responding to the recent enthusiastic demonstrations of public sentiment in favor of our distinguished fellow-citizen, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, ns Gen.

Having alluded, in our last number, to tjie burning in effigy, by an enraged mob, of two or three members of the Pennsylvania Senate, in consequence of their votes in favor of the United Slates Banlt, it seems due to the individuals thus honored, as well as to a correct understanding of tho matter in controversy, that they -should be heard in their own defence. Wo therefore insert below communications addressed to their respective constituents by two of these Senators Messrs. Burden and Penrose explanatory of the course they pursued on tho occasion referred to, with the single remark, that these gentlemen have heretofore uniformly acted with the Jackson party; and that their entire devotion to its interests never was questioned until after their intention to support the hill became manifest. It may perhaps not bo improper for us to remark, that we should not have noticed the re-charter of the United States Dank by Pennsyl vania, except by a single announcement of the fact as an ordinary articlo of news, had we not witnessed with indignation tho efforts made by a certain class of politicians to render the institution odious to the American peoplo, by a retort to cvory kind of misrepresentation, false hood, and calumny. We have no greater lovo for this Bank than for any oilier now in existence: and do not expect to receive any advantage from it, except that which a sound circulating medium, and ample commercial facilities, must necessarily aflbrd to even the most humble mem bor of the community. Wo are awaro that not -withstanding the checks by which it is surround oil, this, as well as all other corporations, may possibly abuse its privileges. But believing also that the immense benefits which it will immediately confer on Pennsylvania, and in a smaller degree on the neighboring States, will greatly exceed the evils to which it may give rise, we can imagine no reason against its rc charter which may not be used tvilh equal force against all social or political institutions, our own happy funn of Government not oxcept ed. We are, therofore, perfectly willing tliat it should go into operation unmolested, in full confidence that, if it should venture to transcend its powers, or to exercise them to tho injury of the public, the proper corrective will be promptly applied by the legitimate authority the people. Here follow the communications referred to at the commencement of this article: MR. BURDEN'S LETTER. To the Commiiiionert of the District ofSouthwark, county of Philadelphia. Gentlemen: Your communication, dated 2ath January, did not reach mo till tho 0th of this month, since which time I have been too much D0oupicfl with legislative duties to reply. When vour letter wan received, I had advoca ted the bill to which your proceedings refer; the discussions on the bill during its different stupes, have boon so imperfectly reported, that in preler- ence to referring to them ns explanations of my course, I shall, in bb brief a manner as possible, state to you the reasons which operated on my mind in advocating tho measure. In 1834, opposed to the rcchartcr of tho Na tional Bank, I was anxious fur tho establishment of a State institution, and joined with most of the orominont opponents of the United States Bank, in petitions to the Legislature for the charter of a bank of ten millions of capital; my own opinion at the time was, that a much larger amount was necessary. The followins extracts from tho mem orials presented in April, 1834, and signed by all the prominent men of the democratic parly, will how how far I am consistent in my support of the present bill, and will also show the opinions respecting the necessity of a large hank; they apply as well to a bank of thirty-fivo millions as to one of ten millions. The difference is in degree, not in kind. Extracts from the memorial addressed to our Le gislature., til April, lrf.M. "That thoy are induced to call the attention of the Ucneral Assembly ol 1'onnsyivania, totnostiu-joct of a State bank on a large scale, not moro by the present embarrassed stato ol the hnancial con ,cern of tho commonwealth, and the distresses ex isting throughout the community generally, than from a conviction that it is in the power ol trie uen oral Assembly, to afford at oni and tho aamo timo reliet trom them, ana secure Mgniy important oeu- ejlti, present and future, to the public interests ol the Stato, and tho private wellaro ot its citizens "But. bb citizens of Pennsylvania, there is an Arthur motive for the exercise of the power of the oneral Assembly the continuance and even tho preservation ot our great system ot intornai improvements. This has now bacomo insopuably connected with the welfare of the Stato and its citizens. It baa prncoeded to an extent which impo riously demands its completion. The large sums already expended will otherwise hsve been iniu diciously thrown away. Even the public credit of tho State, always high, will bo endangered, and Dublic burdens will have to be imposed in forms unaccordant with either the interests or feelings ,of tho people." "The solid wealth and increasing resources of the State of Pennsylvania, will give to her establishment a weight and confidence co-extensive with .the federal union. Other States might therefore ;be induced to mako such arrangements with her, -as to receive the benefit of thoso; at the same .time the mutual facilities of trade might be in creased, and uniformity given to the circulating medium of commerce, to an extent wnion wouiu Drove a ureal material benefit without being at tended with Borious disadvantages or objections." "It is apparent that soma motive must bo resorted toforattaininethesoonds.and it is not ditri cult to foresee that the most probable mode would be tho creation of more Stato banks with small capitals. These might incrcaso tho circulation ofi paper, but the aid thus givon to commorce would be fictitious, and the currency thus established would be any thing but sound and uniform. It would therefore seem the evident policy of tho General Assembly to adopt a system which would produce the desired results, and not only avoid, but actually prevent these evils." w ith a view to relieve the state in her present financial difficulties, and to afford it a certain fund for the progress of its internal improvements, the bank should bo obliged to furnish a certain sum per annum, at an interest of five per cent., not exceeding in tho whole $"),000,000. That every portion ot me commonwealth might elloctually participate in tho advantages of tho measure, and that a circulating medium of equal and undoubted valuo might bo created, mtNcnES of tho Stato bank might bo established at different parts of the State; nor do your memorialists think it wduld be necessary to stop hero. They boliovo tho credit of Pennsylvania, and tlioconlidenco reposed in it by the rest of the Union, would render it possible, and even advisable, to establish in them branches of the same institution, under such regulations as their respective Legislatures might authorize." "They venture, however, to assort with confi dence, that the passage of such a law would im mediately restore to tho whole community that commercial prosperity, which has of lato ceased to exist, place on a fair and firm footing tho finances of the State, carry rapidly to completion our great Bvstem of internal improvements, afford a just source of profit and enrichment ti the com monwealth, independent ot taxation, anil prove a safeguard against tho evils likely to arise from the recurrence of such events as tlmse which at present affect our public resources and individual welfare." Uead tho above, compare tho requests of the petitioners with tlio present bill, which gives ;io branches out of the Stato, which ufi'ords millions for improvement, and millions fur a common school fund. Hetore the commencement ot tho present session, my thoughts wore anxiously directed to tho situation of tho State and its finances. Tho National bank was rapidly hastening to its termination, and the anticipations of doprociated currency operating on tho foreign market,-was producing a geno-ral reduction of American stocks, which promised to eventuate in the return of those Blocks in largo quan-titiesto the United States. Pennsylvania, indebted twenty-four millions (fourtoen millions to foreigners) for her canals and rail roads, requiring more money to mush anil mako them productive, is deeply interested in supporting tho currency and maintaining tho public credit abroad. To loso the moneyed advantages resulting from the operations of acapital of twenty-four millions of dullars employed in domestic exchange, wh'ch can only bo conducted by a large institution; to sustain the cmbarrassmonts accruing from tho withdrawal of capital and diminution of credit abroad, would bo almost ruinous to the prosperity of the Stnto and its commercial metropolis. Thcso considerations confirmed me in the opinion, that Pennsylvania ought to establish a bank, with a capital larger than other States have recently established. I would havo preferred the incorporation of such an institution with other stockholders than those of tho present National bank; but the ditlkulty of retaining tho foreign capital, tho immediate, demand of the State treasury, the absolute necessity of speedy appropriations to repair and finish the works of internal improvement, convinced mo tint it was more to tho interest of tlio State to conti nue the present machino under proper restrictions. and to secure tho advantages of a currency which s known and valued not only in the United States, but in every country where a credit system is es- tahlixhed. With a bank of thirty-five millions, tho port of Philadelphia will retain its present increased trade: by tho completion of tho Stato improvements, and by additional bank capital, this trado will be increased beyond the prophecies of man. By facili ties to our merchants, whicn will enable them to advanco on tho tobacco and cotton crops, those staples of tho valley ot Mississippi will bo brought to our rharves, and the supplies ot that vast and rnpidly increasing country will bo drawn from Philadelphia. Louisiana, with a population of 220,000, and a bank capital of thirty-four millions, now commands that trado. Pennsylvania, with har million anil a half of population, and hor bank capital of Ih.OUO,- 000, cannot command it: retain and "increase the capital, and tho trado will come. The cotton exported in 1792 amounted to 32, 000 dollars: last year it was nearly ")0,00(,00H. Tho creat sales of government land, and the ad vanced prices o( the last year in tho cotton lali tilde, warrant the expectation of a great in- crease of this production. l ime will not permit me to datnil the auvan (aires of a proper credit system; suffice it to say that the establishment of the Stato bank, and a further increase of capital, will plane Pennsyl vania where sho ought to bo, I lie first among the States hcrgrcat internal resources will be brought forth, and avast and rich portion of the Union will be made tributary to her prosperity. The friends of tho bill to incorporate a slate bank, to bo called a United Stales Dank, having made such amendments as they believed to be proper restrictions, I determined to support it. My course has been censured asAnti-Democratic; to this I shall reply in a few words. I have always been a Democrat, and so far have carried nartv. that 1 never vol voted, what is lormeu uy partisans, "o scratched ticket," nor have I ever been a candidate for any but tho regular Domo- oratia party. Lot thoso who assume to instruct a Democrat say as much. I have siiported the party, becauso I believed its interests to he identified with those of tho country. If their interests bo in opposition, I will nothesitato to prefer Dime of country to party. I have always thought that the proper mode of sustaining party, was to support measures conducive- to the prosperity of the people; any party sustainod on othor principles, must, and ought to perish. I havo received letters from some of the old est and most prominent Democrats, in favor of the measure. 1 havo private lettors irom others of the satno tenor, who havo not the moral courage toslom momentary excitement by a public avowal. I have lettors from others, who tell mo that the bill will be a great advantago to the Stato and to Philadelphia. I have filed all tho letters. I know of no party in this moasuro, unless junior editor of a paper under the pntronatre of the Senate can, without cansultinguHlnamj JJemo cralic Senator, issue his decree and have tho Senators to oboy it. True, his dictum was echo ed by the Pcnnsylvaiiian, a paper which is so purely Democratic, and by the awakened Sentinel which feared again to bo caught lagging; but all tho editorial efforts to produce an ex-citomont among the peoplo by appeals to the worst passions, and by slandors as false as they are malicious, havo failed, and will fail to produce the efloct intondod a few ignorant por-sons may bo docoived, but the pooplo will ap-provo of the incasuro. Let tho bill bo read-its advantages and restrictions considered, and all tho efforts of time serving professors ol Do-mncraoy'will be unavailing. You say that "should any member so far for get his duty to his constituents as to voto for tho bill, he would bo coiiiidorcd as having for feited all furlhor claim upon their confidence." With the excontion of one session, I have boon the representative of the county of Philadelphia since 1625-0. During all that period I have never received instruction from my constitu ents (for I do not consider meetings held in the city as having any thing to do with me,) nor have I ever been called to account for any vote given by me in the Legislature. Of such constituents any man might be proud. By them I have been sustained; and if I know myself, I have to the best of my judgment and ability used every exertion to sustain and promote their interests. If in support of the bank bill I lose that confidence which they have hitherto reposed in me, it will be a matter of deep regret. I became a candidate for a seat in the Senate in 1834, at their solicitation, and against my own wishes. I was elected by a majority in the two Congressional districts which composed the county, by a larger vote than the Congressional candidates. So soon as I shall bo convinced that (he majority of my constituents, after having examined the bill, disapprove of my vote, I will cheerfully resign my seat, and give them an opportunity of electing' some citizen in whom they place more confidence. Whatever may be their decision, I shall always bo gratoful fur the manner and spirit with which they havo hitherto sustained me; and to none more, to none so much as to the people of the District of Southwark.. I have, after much reflection, taken a course uninfluenced by foar, favor or all'oction a course which I believed, and still believe to be in accordance with tho wishes of a majority of the people. Whatever may be the cousequonccs to myself, my sincere prayer is, that the measure will tend to advance the interests and promote the prosperity of my native State. With sentiments of esteem and respect, I have the honor to be, Your fellow citizen, J. It. BURDEN. Senate Chamber, Feb. 12(A, 1836. MR. PENROSE'S LETTER. To the citizens ofthe Sixteenth Senatorial District, composed of the counties of Cumberland and Perry . Fellow-Citizens: So much misrepresentation of tho bill entitled "An Ant to ropeal the State tax on real and personal property, and to continue and extend the improvements of the State by rail roads and canals, and to charter a Slate bank to be called the United Slates bank," now before the Senate, has been made, that I am not surprised at tho excitement which has been produced in the minds of many about it; nay, it is a source of unexpected pleasure to me to discover that the native good sense of an honest people is rapidly overcoming the influence of tho exaggerated statements of heated partisans. However indifforeot I may bo to personal considerations, I should be unworthy of that confidenco which conferred upon me my present trust, by a majority larger, 1 believe, than ever was given in that district on any former occa sion, if I did not desire that my course on this great question should meet with your approba tion. I intend, ns soon as it can he done, to lay be fore you a calm statement of this question, and tho reasons hy which 1 have felt bound in con science to go for a measure upon which, I think can show you, depends in a great degree your personal prosperity, and the prosperity of (he State. The subject is one of such magnitude, that you cannot expect that I shall be able to do this at once. It will require time to preparo the argument, and that timo I must obtain by setting apart so much as can be spared Irom my public duties. Your own sense of justice will con vince you that you ought not to form an opinion until you have heard (he evidence, and (he argument. I have too much respect for your honesty and intelligence, to suppose that you would condemn any thing or any body, without having been fully informed or the merits ot that thing, or without giving to the person accused a full and impartial hearing. Tho man who values reputation himself, and fcols conscious of an honest heart, is ever tender of the reputation of others, and the last (o suppose that others arc corrupt; while it is equally true that the creature who is notorious fur a disregard of moral obligations, who is himself degraded, is ever ready and willing to suppose others to be as bad as himself, and the first to raise a cry against his fellow men. I ask to be patiently heard. This is all I ask; and if I should fail to convince any of you that I have been right in my courso as your rcpre scntalive upon this question, I think that when you have been fully informed on the subject, you will have the candor to acknowledge that the argument is one which might well control tho courso oT a patriot, and an honest man. For the present I shall content myself with simplo statement of the positions or points which 1 design to malce and sustain. 1. I'hey who toll you that the present Lcgisla (tire, or any other Legislature of any Stato, has, can, or will charter or rechartor a bank of the United States or a National bank, tell you that which is wholly untruo.and they insult your in tellitronce when they toll you so. The General Government, composed of the President of the United States, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States, can alone charier or rechartor a National bank: it is plain that no Slate Government can do this, 1 ho llank ol the United States, with a cap ital of thirty-five millions of dollars, chartered by Cuagross in l-Mltl, located in Philadelphia and having in its vaults some thirteen millions of hard dollars, will expire hy the limitation of its charter on the 3d of March noxt; and our Legislature are about to charter a iuu Slate bank, for thoy can mako nothing elso, to be called the llank of the United States, just as our Legislature in 1782 made a State bank, and called it the Bank of North America. That being the name of a National or United States bank, which thoretofore had been chartered by Congress. 3. The reasons fur making this new Slate bank are: 1. That it may keep these hard dollars, this specie and this capital in our State, instead of permitting it to go to .Maryland, which has offered to charter it for much less money than the owners nf it are willing to give our Slate, or to Now York, where it is said there exists much anxiety that they may got it. 2. That we may be able to repeal our tax law, so burdensome to the people, and prevent the necessity which will inevitably exist, with out it, of re-enacting those laws, and doubling or trebling the amount ol thoso taxes, already sufficiently oppressive. 3. We make this State bank, because by do ing so we get moro than five millions of dollars (obe applied towards finishing our great lines of internal improvement, and to secure a school fund for common schools, to enligbton tho poo plo without taxing them, so that the poor man's son shall have the blessing of education equally with tho rich. On this point I am prepared to show, that (he extension of our improvements recommended by Governor Wolf, and provided for in this bill, can bo made, if it passes, without resorting to taxation. 4. We make this State bank, because if we did not, but suffer tho capital now in the United States llank to loave our Stato, it would bankrupt the Stato, and spread ruin among hor people. Your manufactories would be prostra ted; the profits of the farmer, who depends for the sale of his produce upon the manufacturer, must be lessened. The consequence of this would be a fall in tho price of land, while the derangement of our State finances would render necessary the increase of the burden of taxation, which the farmers and other classes of the community would be so much less able to bear. And while we mourned over our distress, we should be obliged in bitterness to reproach ourselves for the mad folly which had expelled wealth from our borders, to build it up in any other State.- It would be a painful contrast. 5. We make this new State bank, because it will open up the immenso resources of our State, our iron and our coal, and draw from the West and South the trade of tho valloy of tho Mississippi, giving us the largest portion of the cotton trade; the annual value of which is sixty millions of dullars. Because it will not only enrich our State, but increase the wealth and comfort, the welfare and happiness of every individual in the community. 6. Wo have called this new State bank by an old name; we have called it "Tho Bank of the United Slates;" we have called it by the name of an institution which will expire in a few days: 1. Because if we have this old name, the notes of the new bank will be struck from the same plates from which tho notes ofthe old and dead national hank were struck, and tho poople who have already got acquainted wiih those oules, will not besu likely to be deceived by counterfeit nutes, as if tho notes were the notes of a hank having a now name, and of course having a different appearance. 2. Because (his old namo has got great credit in the commercial world, so great that a bill of exchange of the Bank of the United States will sell in l-hina at from 10 to 15 per cent, advance.3. Because the name in itself is a good one: it is the name of our country designating our State bank; and surely there is no man among us, who slioitld be ashamed of the namo of his country The United States. 5. We have in ado the State bank becauso it is the only way in which tho estnhlisincnt of a National bank, or a bank of the United States, can be prevented. 1. The Bank ofthe United States which was made by Congress in 1810, was made under a necessity which overcame the constitutional objections of Air. Madison, who was then President, and constrained the country to take refuge in a National bank, from the frauds and corruptions of the small State bank system. 1 he small State banks then amounting to 270, as is always the case with small banks, increased their note circulation, and expanded their business until the whole currency or the country had become corrupt. Specie or hard money was banished altogether. These 270 banks spread throughout the Union, with a capital of 85 millions, had a bank nute circulation of ono hun dred and ten millions of dollars, and had but nineteen millions of specie in their vaults to meet this circulation. The government was threatened with bank ruptcy, commerce was embarrassed, and our farmers and mechanics suffered severely. To escape from this Stato of things, the Con gress of 1410 made a National hank. 2. If we do not mako this large Stale bank, we shall again fall into this small Slate bank system, and we shall suffer from a resort to it from our sisler States; and if we do fall into it, n a very Tew years our currency will bo cor rupt: we shall then be unable to mako a lanre Slate bank, Tor we shall not then have (he means; and the people will fly from oppression, to the dangerous expedient of creating a National bank a bank or the United Slates. 0. Tho objections which existed against the United States Hank not only do not exist against this large Stato bank, but thoso who eslablisl this State bank, resort to the only means which will make opposition (o a National bank effec tual. This bank being established, it settles (he policy of the country fur thirty years, and perhaps forever, against the establishment of a National bank or bank of the United States. The objections (o (he bank of (he United States established by the general government, are, 1. That the Constitution of the United States creating a government of limited powers, does not permit tho establishment of such an institii tion. 2. The establishment of a bank of the United States by the General Government, is hold to be dangerous (o the liberties of the people of the different States; because, at Mr. Jefferson said it can shoot Us branches at pleasure into the different States, being entirely beyond their con trol. 1 bus thepowcror the General Government was greatly augmented; and if at any time the general government should act in concert with it, it would ho eminently dangerous to (he lib ertics of the State and in that way to the peo pie. 3. The establishment of this now Stato bank presents no constitutional objection, the most formidable perhaps of any, with the largest pari of the people of the Unitod States who object to a National bank. So far too from being dangerous in the sense in which Mr. Jefferson spoke of it, a State bank such as this, will be a guard against such danger. For the simple reason that while a National bank confers dangerous power on the General Government, (his State bank will strengthen our. Stato to resist that tendency lo consolidation, which Mr. Jefferson so constantly apprehended. This State bank is under our control, subject to our government, restricted to an extont which the most fearful will say is severe. 7. We have made this bank with a capital or of thirty-five millions. I will show you beroaf- lor, that such is the vast increase or our Pennsylvania trade, that this capital is not only not too much, but in a very few years will not be enough. This point will require a referenco to many facts in my possession. 8. We have made this bank with a chartor for thirty years, because some portion of our State debt becomes due within that time, and we have comnellod our new State bank to lond us wlion the State shall want it seven millions of dollars, at four per cent, interest; and wo have placed the expiration of tho charter of our State bank, at a period, when the state will be tinuer no necessity to renew it, II it shall not bo deem ed advisable, or under no necessity to renew it upon terms unfavorable to the commonwealth. 0. It is well known to all of you, that I have been the warm advocnto of a national conven tion, fur the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and Vico Presidency of the United Slatos. Those of the democratio members of the Legislature of 1834, who actod with mo, will remeinbor that I took apart in the caucus which was held on this subject, which at all event evinced zeal at a tune when there was much hesitation on (his question. I have never yet faltered in in opinion of (he propriety of (be policy then recommended to the party. I have supported Mr. Van Huron for (he Presidency with equal ardor. And if (he question involved in tho creation of this bank is to be considered a political question, in the aspect of promoting the success of parly movements, I submit to (ho cool reflection of sensible men, to say, wbelhor by the establishment of this Stale bank, we do not disentanglo Mr. Van Buren from the vexed question of a National bank. I am however governed in my course by higher considerations which no mere party feeling can control, My object is to build up the prosperity of my native State, to cultivate the minds of hor children, to develop her great resources, and place her where she deserves to be, on an equal footing with the first Stale in the Union. No mere party and superficial excitement shall control me on a question like this. It belongs to the peoplo; it is not a party question; it is a Pennsylvania question: and nothing but an interference in that question, which belongs exclusively to us as Pennsylvanians to consider, by tho candidate of the national convention for tho Presidency, would induce mo to believe that the large mass of Pennsylvania democracy which will bo found in support of this great moasuro, wero absolved from their parly obit gations to support him. Wo may love Cnjsar much, but we lovo Koine moro, I regret to say that our party papers have not hesitated lo charge upon your representatives, that they have been corrupted to betray their trust, to sell your liberties. Such charges are a gross insult upon tho character of vour Slate, degrading her not only in the eyes of our sister States, hut of tho whole world. But a few days since this charge, upon which so much excitement has been built, assumed a specific form. It has been boforo a committee of investigation; public evidence has boon taken; and that evidence proves the u ttor fully of (he charge, and the wickedness of those who have used it for effect. Fur tho present, I shall say no more, con-teuting myself with the conviction of my entire tiueiily to your interests, and the interests of my native State, and disregarding all consequences which can affect my personal interests in mo politics ot the day. 1 consider this but a small sacrifico lo be mado fur tho good of my country, and if it be required at my hands, I will make it ohcorfully; but I wjll say, that although you may obtain another representative, who will be willing to sacrifice his principles to a supposed party nre juuiuu, yuu win una none who lias been more anxious to promote your iutorosts and the welfare of his country, or who moro cheerfully an- knowledges the deep obligations under which he has been laid by your generous confidenco, and your manly support. 1 am, very respecllully, Your friend and follow-citi.on, CHARLES It.

JOHN II. WOOD. Cincinnati, Feb. 11136. TO BE EDITED DY J. BAILIUCHC. The high importance of disseminating correct infor mation among the great body of the American people, at the present alarming crisis in our national affairs) being universally admitted, it is deemed unnecessary to assign at length the reasons which seem to require the publication of a scmi-weckly newspaper at tho scat of government of this great Stato, at lenst until tho coming struggle for the next Presidency shnll havo boen brought to a close. Suffico it to observe, that a weekly journal, howevor capacious, must necessarily be too contracted, as well as too tardy in its operations, to mcot tho cxi genciesof the times. Two regular numbers per week, it is hehoved, will, in a great measure, supply tho ac knowledged deficiency. In order, thoroforc, to insure a largo circulation to the proposed publication, and place it within tho reach of every one, tho price of subscrip tion has been brought down to the lowest possible rate As tho political opinions of tho Editor aro not un known in Ohio, it is deemed unnecessary to give any olhcr pledge of the course he intends to pursue, than to ohscrvo that, being fully persuaded tho election of Martis Vax Buren to tho next Presidency must prove highly detrimental to the public interest, as well as im minently dangerous to tho liberties of the citizen, he will zealously labor to provent so dcplornble a result, by afibrdingan active, andsj far as may depend tiponhim an efficient support to THE CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE. From Mnino to Georgia, tho freemen of the United States ahf. nusiuNu to the rescue ok the coun-ry with a spirit worthy of the days of '"ti. Nothing more is therefore necessary to socuro to them an easy and complete triumph over the office-holders, than a perfect organization. To effect this, on honorable and lasting principles, shall be a lending object of tho Journal; and while most cordially responding to the recent enthusiastic demonstrations of public sentiment in favor of our distinguished fellow-citizen, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, ns Gen. Jackson's successor, it will treat with truo fraternal kindness all those who, concurring with us in uncompromising opposition to Mr. Van Buren, may nevertheless deem Daniel Webster, or Huon L. White, entitled to the preference. In other respects, tho semi-weekly Journal will contain the cur rent news of the day, and such othor matters as shall be thought interesting or instructive; and nothing will be omitted, on the part of tho Editor and Publishers, to rendcrit worthy of an extensive and liberal patronage.
