It will bo observed, by a reference to our advertising columns, tliat a now political paper is proposed to bo published in this City, for the puriod of bix months, commencing on or before the 10th of Muy next. It is to bo called The People's Press, and will be conducted by Col. J. 1). (iarxineii, the present l'rintor to the State, long and advantageously known intho Western Country, for his tact, energy, and experience as an Editor. As the I'ro-epeo'.us will speak for itself, wo do not deem it necessary to say any thing witlt respect to the character of the contemplated journal, except that it will afford us much pleasure at all times to cooperate with it in a general "rally around Tim btamuhd of tiii: Constitution, that better time may come, and better men may rule." Ve have likewise received, and intend to insert in our next, the Prospectus for another paper, also devoted to politics, proposed to bo published in this City so soon as tho subscription shall justify it, under tho title of The Spirit nf Heeenty-tU, or, Columbia Independent Observer. It is to bo conducted by J. 0. Mim.i:u and 1 C.

These gentlemen profess to bp disciples of tho school of Jci'rmtsoN, as it ex-1 istcd in the days ofthat great statesman; and will I 'espouse tho doctrines of a strict construction of tho Federal Constitution, as alono calculated to I restore that simplicity and purity in tho ad minis-1 tratiou of the (.'nncral Govorniuonl, which has of lalo been so wofully departed from, and without which wo shall soon have "nothing of a Republic but tho name." We hope to have the gratification of lighting side by side with them in the great strugglo between the people and the ollico holders, which is now about to comincm-e.

Tho trial of Fntstiii and his accomplices had not been brought to a close at tho latest dates. It was, however, the general impression, that three of the accused would be found guilty, and condemned to death; tho fourth sentenced to a milder punishment; and tho fifth ac quitted. The young Queen of Naples died on the :tlst of January, of a bilious fever. The I'rcsi dent's Special Message, on the subject of our relations with France, reached London on the Sth of February, and was freely commented on in the papers of tho 9th and 10th. They all seem to have agreed in considering it decidedly hostile in its character; but at the same time appeared to entertain no apprehension that it would load to any further difficulty tho mediation of England, together with the pacific impression produced in Franco by the tone of tho last Annual Message, being gen -rally deemed sufficient to prevent a rupture. Tho other continental papers are entirely destitute of iuterestin.f intelligence. TI1U.ST COMPANY. The following communication which appeared in tl.o Cincinnati llej.iibtieiin of ilio 1Mb inst. throws so much light on (lie subject of which it treat?, that we have concluded to give it a place in tho Jour nul, iit.lwitl.slimding its misdirected thrusts ;it the Whys, and its ill-judged eulogy tf the Spoils-men. Wlmtever may bo lite merits or demerits cf tho institution icferied to, it ought to ho remembered that its chuilrr was griin'cd by a Jackson Legislature ihu', two years afterwards, another Jack-sun Legislature have refused to repeal it that its Pit'sident, and many of its principal ollicers mid str.ckholdcis, are, and over have been, Jackson men and that it is substantially u Jackson substitute for tho Uaiik of the Uni.ed St lies. Wo uiidors:aud that the question of the repeal of its charier lias occasioned a ruptuic among 'the party" in Cincinnati, who are enacting the scene of the Kilkenny cuts the Whigs taking no part in the controversy. Among them selves be it. To the Editor nf the Republican. It was intended that the following cfilinniinic a-lion should have appealed in tho 'Ilcmisplu'ic,' prior to the adjournment of the Legisluluro. Uu- avoidable ciicuinstanccs having prevented its pub- fur slitution. The charter is the deed by which the corporation holds its rights, uud it is as inviolable by legislative enactment, as any other contract. If u chattered institution transcends its powers, it may bo arraigned before tho Judiciary, and if convicted, stripped ofils powers, and deprived of its existence. This result would be the penally of its violation ol thooririiic contract, and the ' i State would thus resume tho rights conferred bv the chatter. The parties would then meet in the forum, wisely provided by tho Constitution, for tiie investigat'on and settlement of all contested questions of guill and right. This remedy gives to the Stato nil that is necessary to the security of the public interest.-', and at the same lime guards against the possibility of power trampling upon right, and iho monstrous anomaly of the Legislature, the nllodgcd violators of tho contract, b ting both a party and judge in tho same cause. Perhaps the highest merit of Iho republican form of government, is, that it is mud,) up of u system of defined checks and banners. It throws tls.bgis alike over all. Tho lights of every individual are secured by barriers which power, whatever sli pe it may assume, however misled by prejudice, or animated by passion, is impotent lo jiyerthjviw. It is a vital piinciplu tint its uyrpartjriijijijirT.upi (as .they are in nil the American governments) separate and co ordinate; neither having the power to tiench upon the others, or to pass beyond lha limits defined, in their charter, tho Constitution bv their common muster, the people. It is us much the object of that instrument lo res trirn tho Legislative, us tho Judicial or Exccu That it creates a monopoly; . I ho hud ( riued any distinct idea of what could, or J Hat it confers extraordinary and unprccodon-t indeed what ought to bo done for his own.

This charter confers no power, that is not possessed by other Banks of tho State, or can be exercised by individuals. It is more limited than many others. I refer particularly to charter of iho " (iiauvillo Alexandrian Society" of this State, (perhaps there are others); and to that id' the Manhattan Bank of New York, as within my recollection at this moment. In one essential particular, this institution is more restricted, than any other Bank in the Slate. All others are authorized to issue bills of circulation to at least twice tho amount of the capital stock paid in. Tho Trust Company is limited to half that amount. Tiieso remarks apply lo both the objections first mentioned. The last objection is more specious ihan solid. Tho lutst reflection will show it to bedestilutoof foundation: Moneyed institutions under our sys-ti.inaafGuvenimcnt, ns respects fin ballot box, (by which the wholo machine of Ciovernment is controlled) possess, if I may quote an Irishism, "less than no influence." They deprive those connected with thoin of tho weight they would otherwise have.

Wo bid tho Courier a cordial welcome inlo our ranks. OPPUONANCY. Wo observe by Iho Albany Argus of tho 13lb i list, that the pulilioiis heretofore presented to the Legislature of that State,, praying that the circulation within her limits of I lie- bills of Ihc United Slates Bank, recently chartered by Pennsylvania, may be prohibited by law, nero taken up for consideration on Iho Wednesday preceding, and, after sonio debate, puslpuued until the first Monday of November next, by a volo of 87 to 11. From the remarks made by the diner-em members who tuuk pari in Iho discussion, it dues not appear that Iho prohibition bad even one single adtocato in the Assembly Ibuso who voted against tho postponement having dune so on tho ground that, as the gentleman by wbum tho first petition bad been presculcd was then absent from his seat, it was due lo him nut to disposo of it until bis return; and that there would be no impropriety in siidcring tho petitions to remain long enough on tho tablo, to ascertain whether the people really desired the adoption of Iho measure prayed fur or not. So it soeins that a proposition, understood lu have been concocted in Iho Scullery 'at Washington, and which was deemed by some promin ent members of "iho parly" in Ohio to constitute tho vory essence of genuine democracy, has been litorully kicked out by their brethren in lite New York Legislature. Surely "Iho monster" must havo been busy in Iho "Empire Slate," to bavo thus succeeded in "buying up" no less than 87 sturdy Yan Huron Assembly men; boing every inulhor's son of all thuso in that lion- nmlilv hmlv who have licrctofuro acknuwledircd .

Thai such instances havu occurred, am, that there is danger of their reciirience, we have only to consult ihe lessons of the past, to citable us to determine.

It it bo iiiitriittint tint tiio repealing power should be retuiiied in the h iris of the Stale, the right should be icserv. d in ihe charter.

That uiihap. py nation groaned under a complication of evils which had scarcely a piralleliu h'story. Toe mass of (ho people were tho uhjocl slaves of the nobles thu nobles, torn into factions, were alternately iho instiuiui'Uts and tho victims of their powerful and munitions neighbors. By intrigue, corruption and force, some of the fairest provinces hud been separated f om the republic, und the people, liko beasts, transferred to foreign despots, who wcrj again watching a favorable moment for a second dismemberment. To regenerate a people thus deb iscd to obtain for a country thus eiicninslaiicd, tl.o blessings of liberty and independence, was a work of us much dilliculty us d inger. But to u mind like Kosciusko's tho dilliculty and danger of an enterprise served as slim, ultiuls to iindeitnke il. Tho annuls of these times give us no detailed account of the progress of Kosciusko in uccoiu. plishing his great work, foul thu period of his return f'oin Am r'ca to Iho adoption of the now constitution of Puland, 171)1. This interval, however, of itpptuei.t inaction, was most usoltilly employed lo illumine thu mental darkness which enveloped his couittiymeu. To stimulate the ignorant and bigoted peasantry with the hope of future em inc'pation to teach a proud, hut g d-liut nobility that true glory is only to be found in the paths of duly and patriotism Interests the most opposed, prejudices th.') most stubborn, and h ib ts the most inveterate, were recune led. diss!-paled, uud broken, by thu ascendency of his vir. lues and example. The storm which he had fire-seen, anil fir which he had been preparing, at length hirst upon Poland. A feeble ami unpop-ul ir government bent beliu'o its fury, and submitted itself lo the yoko of ihe Bussi m invader. But the nation disdained to follow its example; in their extrem'tv, every eve was turned on tlie hero who had already fought their batlles, tlie sago who hail enlightened them, and thepitiiel who had set the example of person 1 sacriii-ees lo accomplish tiie emancipation of thepeople. Kosciusko was unanimously uppo ntcU Ironer- aliss inqof Poland, wi ll unlimited powers, uuti the riiemy should be driven lroin the couu'rv. On ..- vi-tuu the nation repos .d the utmost conli-d nee; and il is s into consolation to reflect, amidst the g noi .tl depravity of mankind, th tt two ins traces, in the s iiiu u.'O, have occurred, w here pow ers of ties k nil were employed solely lor the pur poses lor whicit they weru given.

Overwhelmed with grief at the reflection, he would retire tj his cottage, to mourn afresh over tho miseiies of his country.
