U9 to make any comment on this Report; it speak*
for itself, and in a language of warning, not to be
misunderstood, to* those who aro strairiing overv
^ norvc, using all their talents, power and inflcnco to
fasten on this nation, another and similar, if not
more powerful, engino of evil We beg our readers
to examine this Report for thorhselves, and then
make up their minds if thoy arc willing that this
country should bo again cursed with a National
Bank. It is nothing more than justice, however, to
say that Mr. Biddle, and Mr. Jaudon, brother of the
late Cashier, now agont, havo published letters, in
vindi ration of thoir transactions; Mr. Biddle for
himself, and -Mr. Jaudon for his brother.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Tlie arrival of the Steam Ship Columbia, at Boston,
brings us dates fifteen days later than those previously
received. The political news by this arrival
is unimportant. The excitement in relation to the
McLeod affair is dying away, and a much more pacific
feeling is entertained towards this country.?
Groat anxiety is folt for the safety of tho Steam Ship
President, wltich had not reachod England when
tho Columbia left, though tho Packet Ship Virginia,
which sailed three days afler the President, had arrived.
The cotton news is rather unfavorable. Tho sales
for the week ending the 3d inst. were 18,700 bales ?
A letter under date of the 3.1 of April says: ?'\Vo
sjuote the prices of all descriptions, 1.8d to l-4d low.
cr this week, with a flat and heavy market at the
decline."
City Tasks. ? It appears from a document reccntly
published by the City Council of Boston, that
there arc in that city one hundred and thirty five
persons who pay upwards of five hundred dollars
each for taxes. Among these three aro ton who pay
ovor two thousand dollais each, six of whom pay
over two thousand five hundred, and that the taxes
of Jons Pahker, Esq , arc seven thousand and
eleven dollars; those of Petcr C. Brooks nre five
thousand and twenty six dollars. Wo should delight
in paying these taxes ourselves, heavy as they arc.
The Magnolia.?This delightful publication is
rapidly regaining the time it has lost. Tho April
numbor is before us at a much earlier period than we
anticipated. This en orgy on the part of its talented
editors augurs well for tho success of tho enterprise,
which we trust is now placed on a firm and enduring
foundation. The present number is fully equal to
any of its predecessors, in the richness and variety
of its contents, all of which are entirely original,
We have not leruro to notice the articles in detail,
and it would bo invidious to select when all are so
good. Our readers may form some conception of its
merit, when wo mention the fact, that among the
contributors to this number arc the names of Wh.dk,
Charlton, Simms and Patte.v, with several others,
The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday
says:?We are glad to learn, bv tlie Cincinnaii
papers received this morning, that
the injury to the mansion house at North
Bend, as reported yesterday, was greatly
exaggerated. The Cincinnati Gazette of
Thursday says:
"Great uneasiness was caused in this
city yesterday morning, by ft report that
General Harrison's dwelling house, nl
Nor?h Bend, had been destroyed by lire
the previous afternoon. Direct information,
however, arrived before noon, and
quieted all apprehension. The building
was on tire, but only the upper story of
the west wing sustained any material
damage. The roof and this were destroyed,
but without, we understand, the loss
of any furniture, or seriously inconveniencing
the afflicted family."
? From
the Charleston Mercury
Mr. Preston's Letter in reply to the
Edisto Meeting.
Columbia, April 14, 1841.
Sir, I have had the honor to receive
your note inclosing the proceedings of a
meeting of "the inhabitant* of St. John's
Colletion." The portion of the proceedings
which purports to be founded on a
rumour roncerning my sentiments and
position in the Senate of the United Siates,
concludes with a categorical question,
whether I intend to vote for a charter of o
United States Hank.
The reinstitution of a United States
Bank presents a very complex question,
both of principle and detail, und must, in
my judgement, depend upon a careful
consideration of a vast variety of circumstances,
existing at the moment it is proposed.
Its very constitutionality must
depend upon the actual condition of the
Country ? and were ever, that conceded,
the organization presents so many important
diJlicnhies, that it would he unsafe t'ci
venture on any conclusion, until a definite
and complete project he piesonted
The amount of capital?the mode ol
obtaining that capital ? the place where
the hank is l?? l><* established?its management
and eontroul ? and above all,'the
financial emergencies of the country a
the moment when it is proposed?eacl
and all of them exact a grave and cautiou;
deliberation.
-I < T
In advance, tnereiore, i can answei
the intvrrngatoy propounded, only by an
nouncing the general principle on which ]
stand?and this 1 beg" leave to do in th<
language of our late lamented President
and of the acting President, as c.ontainei
in an answer of the latter to a similar ques
tion put to him during the late Prcsiden
tial canvass.
'In reply to the first branch of your en
quiry," (said Mr. Tyler.) "I qnote an
adopt the language of Gen. Harrison, i
his speech delivered at Dayton. There i
not in the Constitution, any express gran
of power for such purpose, and it coul
never be constitutional to exercese tha
power, save in the event the powers grar
ted to Congress could not be carried int
effect without resorting to such an institu
lion, The Constitution confers on Con
_ . .1 . ifgrcss
terms, 'all powers which are neces- e
i sary and proper to carry into effect the
granted powers.' Now if "the powers j'1
granted" could not be Carried ink) efTect ,
without incorporating a bank, it becomes ^
"necessary and proper," and of course
expedient?a conclusion which I presume h<
no one would deny who desired to see the
existence of the government preserved, ,n
and kept beneficially in operation." ?(
I have only to add that the creative 'u
necessity should be palpable aud over*
ruling. - y
I have the honour to be,
Most respectfully, your ob't serv't. ^
