tT 1 ' Mttte ottrtt VOLUME XXX. COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2G. 1810. NUMUER 70. m COLUMBUS: FltlUAV KVCMMi, ALGUKT 21, 1810. THK PRESIDENT'S VIRGINIA LETTER. Wo bospcak an attentive perusal of the Rovionr of this proilucilon, trnnsfi rrril to our columns to-day from the National Intelligencer, No one can read il without being instructed by its clearness of detail. President Van Duron has involved himself in n dilemma from which hie frionds will find it difficult to extricate him : Me has convicted himself of one of two tilings, a discreditable perversion of facts, or a carelessness In the performance of his official duties, hardly less culpable. lie may lake either horn of the dilemma. There is one fact which, in his haste to impeach the motives of his opponents, the President has inosl strangely overlooked : Ha dates the popular outbreak against the Standing Army project, after the appoar-ancoof Mr. Puinsolt's supplemental report of March 20. This is not so, when the remark is applied to those sections of country which have been most excited on the subject, and shows the utter fallacy and bad taste of all ho has said on the subject it is reasoning a posteriori. The causo lay in the report of the 30th November, which the President bad most heartily approved, and bunco the effect on the public mind. THE GLORIOUS OLD NORTH ! Thn National Intelligencer of the ISlh, in a postscript, gives the following cheering nows from North Carolina. The editors remark, it is from an authentic source, and may bo entirely relied upon" : "Raleigh, August 10, 1810. " b'inee I wrote yesterday, sufficient returns have been received to render it absolutely cortain that the whiga have carried the Slate. We shall havo a Whig Commons, a Whig Senate, a Whig Governour, and two Whig United Slates Senators! Our majority will he from six to eight thousand votes fur Governour, and on joint ballot wo shall have more than SO, perhaps 30, majority. A hundred guns for the Old North State!" This takes away the last hope of the Spoilers They havo been going doing thoy aro now GONE! ALABAMA. The latest news we have from this Stato comes to us through tho Nashville Whig of the 1 llh. It gives returns for members of the Legislature, with three counties to be heard from. The House stood equally divided, 48 on each side tho Senate 14 Whigs, 18 Lorofoco. The three counties to hear from elect four members of the House and one Senator. Unless the Whigs have elected all, they will not socure the joint ballot. Tho state of tho popular vote is not ascer tained. Our friends confidently claim Alabama for Harrison and Reform at the Presidential election. The great gain they have made warrants the calcula lion. JyKsriTijcKV and Indiana have not reported the details of the great victories. When received, we shall give the particulars. So far, all's wei.i. ! The shout of triumph ascends from every quarter of the Union. ILLINOIS. The hulianapolin Journal of tho 18th, gives the fol- lowing from Illinois : " This Slato has gone for tho Administration. It is said an unprecedented number of votes wero taken near 100,000, of which the Lo- cofocoes claim from 4,000 to 5,000 majority ; but the Sangamon Journal of the lllh says, if they havo a ma jority at nil it is not largo. When it is recollected that foreigners, after a residence of six months in that State, though they may have been in the United Status no longer, are allowed to vote, in violation of the naturalization laws of the United States, though not prohibited by the Stale Constitution, the result is not surprising. Illinois has always been a Van Buren State. Tho Whig papers, however, seem confident that she will give Harrison a majority in lliu fall. Tho following aru tho returns of members of the Lcuish' turo, as far as received : Senato, complete, I I Whigs Sfl Tories. House, as far as heard, 10 Whigs, 43 Tories no doubt giving the joint ballot to the Loco locoes. The Quinry Whig gives the most revolting accounts of tho violeneo committed nl the polls in that coun- ty. The military wore called out, and the riot was quelled aflor much difficulty. Tho Governour of the Stalo witnessed tho proceedings with apparent ealis faction, it is said, taking no steps to suppress the mob. Many of tho rioters were arraigned next day and fined, and some imprisoned tho Locofooo candidates appear ing ns their counsel before tho Mayor. In St. Clair, it is said, morn votos were polled than thero are men in the county. In Cook county, on tho Canal, scenf 3 of violeneo and bloodshed occurred. This is a foretaste of Loeofuco moderation on tho " rulo or ruin" system, MISSOURI. Tho Si. Louis Republican of the 13th, sums up the result in Missouri as far ai heard, from which we leain the following particulars i The Housoof Represent lives consists of 100 member, of which the Whigs have now 4 1, being a gain of five since the Inst election, not counting a lio in Warsaw, or any of the seats which will bo contested. In the Senate, the Whigs havo 15, the Tories 18, being a Whig gain of two 1: the Senate. The Republican remarks that fifty votes rightly distributed, " would havo covered all our lo99 es. and given the Whigs a majority of the House." In 31 counties where majorities have been ascer tained, the Whigs have gained between six and oven hundred on the popular vote fur Governour. The remaining counties give heavy Van Buren majorities but the returns, it is expected, will reduce them ver considerably. The Whigs are not disheartened at tho result, but have already oommencod with renowed leal fur the contest in November. J7"TheSt. Louis Republican of tho lllh, says ' The news for tho Whigs la glorious, so farns lli Legislature is concerned. If thoy do not havo a ma jority In the lower House, they will come nearer than they ever have since the orgauimlnn of the Slate. Wo hare now pretty certain intelligence nl the election of IS member. Tho House consists of a hundred three more will give us the majority. There wore contradictory reports in town yesterday is lo Jackson. She sends two members, and if she goes for the Whigs will make the parties alio." J Ncu) Si- in Indiana. Joseph A. Wright, V: Buren, has resigned his seat ns a Senator from Varkt county, which Is tho residenco of Cienoral Howard and gavo a tunjorliy fur Bigger. LET THE PEOPLE READ! J diopter on strict accountability, thawing how faithfully the J'eojile are nerval by their Agents made up from Official Documents. Tho recent announcement in tho Fort Wayne (Ind.) Sentinel, that Col. John Spencer, Land Receiver at that place, was a Defaulter anew lo the amount of 10 to 15,000 dollars, and that suit hid been brought for 33,000 dollars, which is tho balance of account against In in brings to mind the following correspondence between tho Secretary of the Treasury and the said Rcceivor, contained in the Report of the Coiniiiitleo of Investigation of 1830. Tho facts developed by this correspondence, demand the careful attention of every voter it discloses the true principles of aclion adopted in the public service, to wit, political subserviency, in preference to faithfulness and accountability, and furniihes a key to the numerous defalcations in the public service, ranging through all tho departments, from thu Cuslom-Ilouse down to tho petty Post-ofiiccs of the inleriour. The first in the series which we have selected, is from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Receiver, from which it would he inferred that the delinquent was in great danger of losing his offico : TnEASURV Dupautmknt, May 33, 183C. Sir: Since the date of mr letter to you of the :5th ultimo, your returns for the month of April have been received, from which I perceive that thu public moneys in your hands on the 301b ultimo amounted to the sum of S'J 17,-2.ri 1 61, which amount is Ihe ac cumulated receipts of your office since the 1st of January last, You cannot but bo aware thai the retention of the public moneys in your hands beyond me perl on ot one month, unless mo receipts ot sucn mouth bo less than $10,000, is a violation of your instructions. The object of this letter is, first, to rc- uire that the whole balance on hand at the lime of Ihe receipt of this letter shall be immediately deposited, and a certificate of such deposite transmitted to the Department without delay; second, to inform you that the Department cannot overlook the omission to do so, or your future neglect to deposite monthly, and to transmit your monthly returns, accompanied by the evidence of your deposile, in lime lo be received at mis oiuce wiiuiii uie monili next preceuiug wai lor which tho return is rendered: third, that any neglect or inattention to these requirements, unless satisfacto- ily accounted tor, will require of me, trom a sense ol Iticial duty, that you be reported to the President, with a recommendation that you be removed from office. I am, very respectfully, &o. LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary of the Ticaaury. Col. John Sprnckr, Receiver of I'uhllc Moneys, Fort Wayne, Indians. To this letter the Receiver makes no reply, but proceeds to make deposile of the moneys in hands, retaining a small balance, as will be seen by the fol- owing: TiiKASunv Department, July 8, 1830. Sin: Your account as rccoivcrof public monovs at Fort Wayne, for tho month of May Inst, with tho enclosed ceruncato ot deposite, in Hie Urancli Slato Dank of Indiana, for $510,133 09, has been received. leaving a balance in your hands of $00,917 40. I have to request to he informed why tho wholo amount in your hands was not deposited at tho came lime willi ihe first-mentioned sum. I am, very respectfully, rVc. LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary uf ilia Treasury. Joim Spencer, Esq. Itecclrer, tort vtayuc, Indiana. Upon tho receipt of this, the Receiver proceeds to explain, and winds up with the following kind and obliging promiso lo do better "Hereafter, I assuro you that Ihe depositos will ho made, so far as I am concerned, in strict accordance with my instructions." But it would seem from Ihe following from the Sec retary, that an incurable disease had laken possession of tho Rcceivor : Trkasi'rv Dp.paktmext, August 13, 1830. Sir: Your teller of the 28th ultimo, eiiclosinrr your monthly return for June, is received. Seeing that the balance in your hands nmonnts lo tho sum of S l(l(i,5llt 3S, I must require that the same be trans mitted lo thn bank uf deposite forthwith, and request you lo explain why tho amount has been so long retained in your hands. No answer to my letter of the Bin ultimo has been received. I am, &c. LEVI WOODBURY. Perrclsrv of tin Treasury. Receivm or Public Money, Fori Wuyne, la. Whereupon the Receiver bristles up and replies In the following rery satisfactory style, repealing his old promtso of doing belter in future: Ker-Eivtii's Omi'E, Fort Wayne, August 2'J, 183C. Sir: I have lust received vours of the I3th Insl. acknowledging Ihe receipt of my letter of Ihe 2Hth ultimo, anu returns lor that month. It also presents the inquiry, why the balance of $100,599 33 was retained so long on hand, and observes that no reply had been received lo your loiter of tho 8lh ultimo. In answer to the above, I renlv, that an answer at somo longih was written to your letter of the 8th, dated July 39, which was probably on tho way when you wrote on the 13ih instant, and would no doubt be received soon nfier. Ihe amount of funds in the Richmond bank, which I snoke of, was 53.831 39. and is included in die enclosed certificate of deposile. My reasons why the balance of 100,599 33 was so long retained, are as follows : On Ihe 30th of June I returned from depositing at Richmond. From this tune to the Stith I was busied in procuring secU' rity to my now bond, according to the requisition con. laioeu in tne circular trom the Uomuiissioner or tin General Laud Office of Ihe 25lh Mav. and which was received on tho llh of June, while I was absent. On the liflth I started for Rockville to havo it approved, and returned on the 10th of July. The office waa opened on the lllh, and the extraordinary press of uusinosx rendered it advisable that I should remain for a few days until the press would ho over. While prepnring the funds for deposite, which had nccumu luted to a largo amount, I received Ihe letter from Ihe president of the brunch at Indianapolis, (a copy of which i Bent you in my lotter or tho Win ultimo,) ri fusing the depositee from me. Afterwards, I re ceived another letter aeeenlinir them: and. as soon as I could thereafter, I left to make thu deposite, the rosull of which is contained in the enclosed certificate. I bog leave to repent the assurance that every at' leiition shall he given lo the subject of depositing which ns importance anil my only require. JOHN SPENCER, flretitw, Hon. Levi WonnnuRv, tta-relury of the Treasury. Somo fears being now entertained by the Receiver, that notniihstauding thn patience and furboar- anco of tho Secretary, something more than mere promises to do belter would be required, he procured tho following letter lo be written by U. S, Senator Hendricks. Tho render will note Iho conclusion "belter lot it be." How patriotic! But il had the desired i fleet, us will be seen by Ihe careful Secretary's reply. Let Iho reader also nolo the letter from I(o-ceiver Spencer, under dulu of October 27, showing how grateful he was for the patroniiitig care and for bearance of Mr. Secretary Woodbury and his "Demo- cratio friends." Thcso thrco loiters, laken together, form a picturu for tho people lo look til, in which they will recojftiiio the wholo pulley of Iho administration connected with the receipt mid disbursement of tho publio moneys: Madison, Jlugusl 31, 1830. Sin: I am informed that some thlncrs are stated cenlly to the prejudice of Colonel John Spencer, ceivcr at Fort Waynej and I am requested to wrile you. In doing so, I can only say that 1 have been ralified in learning that his deposites have been made your saiisiac.iion; and, it so, 1 hope that minor tilers, if mere irregularities, will he overlooked. e Is renuled to bn an honest nnd honorable man. and do not believe that he has intentionally either done rongor violated Ins Instructions. It would to some xtent produce excitement if he wero removed, for he as many warm nnd influential friends both at Fort Wayne and in Dearborn county, from which he removed to his present residence.

My democratio friends think that I ouirht not to leave until afler we hold our election for President, on tho 7ih November, which I hnvo concluded to await; and shall leave on that evening, or tho next morning, to deposile, Wltn all the lends on hand up lo that lime. I shall write you nirain before I leave. Tho sales are piu, mcstly paid in gold and silver. My quarterly port will be lorwarded by next mail for last quarter, hicli ought to have heeu done sooner, only for the want of help in the office. Hereafter, I think I can gel my reports elf, without much delay, ufier the close of tho month and quarter. 1 am yours, respectfully, JOHN SPENCER. Receiver. Hon. Levi Wosdburv, Bcerctlry of lliu Trcialtry. This Is the last we hear of Mr. Receiver Spencer from the Hon. Secretary, until January C, 1837, when, answer to a call made upon him, by the Hon. J. McCartt, of the House of Representatives, for in formation in relation to the management of tho Land office at Fort Wayne, he replied "I have looked into the papers and correspondence referred to, and regret tu find them so voluminous, and some of them if such a personal character, that il would not comport with the general rules of the Department to furnish copies of them, unlets lo individuals interested or as- ailed in them, or on a proper call by Congress"!!! The finale lo oil this is found in the announcement in tho Fori Wayne paper, to which we alluded in the commencement. How long will the People nut un wiih such plundering of the publio Treasury! A multiludo of facts are before tliem enough has been said, drawn from official sources, to convince any man who was not wilfully blind and determined to adhere to Iho administration through all its corruptions. Tho ubject is in their hands their verdict musl be pro- ounccd through Iho ballot boxes, and upon that ver diet depends tho future character of our Government whether it shall be accountable to the People, or the 'eople lo the Government a REPUBLIC, or a DESPOTISM. OUTBREAK OF POPULAR SENTIMENT IN NEW-YOUK. Wiih mingled feelings of pride nnd gratification, we give place to tho following account of the recent State Convention in New-York. The mealing was intend cd for an ordinary Convention of Delegates from the dilVerent counties, to mako nominations of Governour and Lieutenant Governour, nnd an Electoral Ticket. But Ihe enthusiasm of thu People could not bo re- pressed ihey attended en maw from tho surrounding counties, and gavo ulteranco to their feelings in a voice of ihundor that will ring through tho Empire Statu from one extreme to tho other.

The popular wave is again in motion. We shall soon b in possession of the proceedings of the great South Western Convention, which assembled In Nashville on Monday last. From the nole of preparation, we shall not he disappointed to hear of the largest as semblage of the sovereign People on Ibis occasion, that has yet taken place. Coupled with this, and prece ding it, comes the unexpected assemblage of thousands at Uiica, of which some account is given in another column. Theso larire and overwhelming meelinn. taken in connexion with those noar at hand, at Wheeling, Chillicothe, and Dayton, and Ihe largo masses that attend tho appointments of the Democratio Whig candidate for Governour, in his progress through the State, givo cheering ovidence that Iho popular wave is again in motion, and bodes the signal overthrow of the Spoilers. The People wuitbuttho coming content at the polls, to show the correctness of these cheering signs. DISTINGUISHED CONVERTS. Gen. Call, of Florida, formerly ftid-de-camp, and always tho political and personal friend of Gen. Jackson, lately addressed a large Whig meeting in Philadelphia, and was at the latest dales cheering on the Wh.gs of New-Jersey lo resistance against the tyranny of Ihe Administration. His defence of Gen. Harri son, in iiis speeches, is said to be able and warm from the heart. In addition, we have the open and published renun ciation of the Van Buren creed, from Ex-Govcrnour Runnels, of Mississippi. By the by, we have Ihe most cheering accounts from Mississippi. The Lo-cofocoes are alarmed at the prospect before them in that State, and wo now put down Mississippi as almost certain for Harrison and Reform. Who can stop this ball! A rumour has got afloat that Gen. Eaton, the bio grapher and attached personal friend of Gen. Jackson, who has just returned from Spain, shows the blind side of his face lo Mr. Van Buren. Can this be Iruet Appearances seem to warrant it. AND STILL THEY COME1 The Lancaster (Ohio) Gazeto of the 17ih, contains a call for a mooting of the true Democrats of Old Fairfield, at the Court House in Lancaster, on Satur day, 22d instant, (to-morrow,) signed by Three Hun dred and Six original Jackson men, and citizens of that county! The Dayton Journal of the 18th Aug. contains a renunciatiun of Van Burenism signed by 41 "true Democrats" of Montgomery county. The Washiugtonian of Aug. 13 contains a renunciation of Van Burcn's " reducing" policy signed by 33 citizens of Fayette county; and the Troy Times of the 19th adds 10 more, ciliaens of Monroe township, Miami county. One hundred citizens of Cayuga county, New-York, who voted for Van Buren in 1830, pro claim through the Auburn Journal of Aug. 13, that they are In conscience compelled to withhold from him their support for a re-election. CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. The Whigs of this truly Democratio county have advertised a grand rally for Tuesday the Bill day of September, at which Gen. Harrison has consented to be present. The work goes bravely on in old Champaign. The descent of Ihe Vice President on Ihe county, accom- ImI,1 )V itfinitrtr rf th Hero nf llip Thimpq. has brought out tho true spirit, and is working wonders. The Urbana Citizen gives an account of tho Locofoco gathering at that place on the lllh. After hearing the Vice President and Gov. Shannon, and when Senator Allen nroso ami commenced his abuse of Gen, Harrison, having previously appointed a meeting in front of the Court-House, the Whigs moved off. The Citisen thus notices this proceeding: "When the hour arrived and the bell rung, thero was a tremendous rush to the Court-House. Senator Allen, who bad by this lime procecdid about thirty minutes with his speech, lost at least one half of his audience. When ihe immense crowd had got fairly settled at the Court-House, Gen. Mason was loudly called for, when he came forward and addressed the multitude in one of the niosl eloquent and instructive speeches we have ever had thn pleasuru of listening lo. Gun. Mason was repeatedly interrupted by im mense rhceriug. Tho utmost enthusiasm prevailed among ihe Whigs; and we havo no hesitation in saying that this Hireling has given an impetus to the big cause in Champaign thai will provo disastrous lo our opponents. Already havo we heard of five or six changi'S in our favor. The good work of Harrison and Reform is onward ; and we can assure our friends at a distanca that Champaign will be truo to her integrity."'Among the incidents connected wiih tho late Log Cabin raising in Lancaster, the Gazottc states that a venerable mother and pairiotio pioneer, the parent of Ihe first wliito child born in the Hocking Valley, came Into town attended by her descendants of the first and second generation, all staunch Whigs, bringing with them a full proportion of Buckeye material for the erection of the primitive edifice which now decorates tho publio square of Lancaster, Such incidents, of late occurring so frequently, show the estimate placed upon Ihe old Hiiro and Statesman by those who occu pied Ihe log cabins of the West during the perils of that war in which he oxercisid his guardianship over them. Uniting in .lllrghcny. On the 13th Aug. the Tip. peeanoe boys of Allegheny city, Pa., had a raising, at which Col. William Robinson, who was born in ihe first ' Log Cabin" built on Ihe west bank of the Allegheny, presided. The Pittsburgh Advocate gives the lowest estimate of the numbers present as 0,000 characterizing them as really the l'eople, men of all ages, circumstances, and occupations, with their innlh era, wivos, daughters, and sisters. Some oslimalo tho number al from 10,000 to 13,000. They weie addressed by citizens of Ohio, Maryland, nnd Ponn. sylvania. The Great Lancaster ( Pom.)' (Wend'on The Philad. Iphia V. S.

Tho editor snys his informant waa one of six persons who counted, and the result was 5,129 '.his was iho high est number imule by eiihcr of the parties. The count of a Van Buren man was 1,850.

Ttnihlo havo been the people's wrongs for the lasl 13 yean, and terribly are the peopl avenging them. HOW TO SETTLE A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. In his Virginia Idler, of which we havo spoken in another place, Mr. Van Buren puis aside Ihe Judiciary, and refers Ihe legal points arising on tho Bank quoslion directly to our papular elections. He does not lei bound in tins case to wail "until it becomes ne cessary lo act offioially in the matter." And what is prevent the same rule being extended lo the Stand- g Army project, or any oilier monstrous " matter" at the ambition of leaders or Iho fermnnlation of par lies may throw uppermost 1 The argument that his election will be a final adjustment of the eoiufifu- lionality (not policy) of a Bank of tho United States, thus stated. Hear our second Solon : " I desire moro especially that thev should know it now, when an opportunity, the best our form of Go vernment allows, will soon be presented, to express in, iiiiiiiuh ui us propriety, ii iney are in lavor oi National Bank, as a permanent branch of their insti tutions, or if ihey desire a Chief Marislrale who will consider it his duty lo watch the course of events, and ivo or withhold his assent to such nu institution, ac-arding lo thodcureeof necessity for it that may in his opinion arise from the considerations lo which your question refers.lhey will See that my oo-operation in the promotion oi either oi uiese views cannot be expected. If, on thn olher hand, with Ibis seasonable, explicit, and published avowal before them, a majorily of Iho people of Ihe United Stales shall nevertheless bestow upon me their sullrages for the office of President, scepticism itself must cease lo doubt, and admit there will to be that there shall not be any Bank of tho United Slates, unlil the people, in the exercise of their sovereign authority, see fit to give to Congress Ihe right to establish one." On this proposition, Gen. GnrEN, of the Baltimore ilot, makes the following sound remarks, which we ink worthy of tho most serious attention : " Now what can be moro dangerous Iban thus lo for Constitutional Questions lo the popular tribunal t It is an anneal to tho self-love of the nonulace. under the deep excitement of a popular election, where all lie tniiiience ol party discipline, and the most corrupt-ng influence of the Federal Executive, is brought to learon a nuestion of law. which, bv the Constitution. has boen referred to the Judiciary, to be there disposed of, after careful, impartial, and unbiased deliberation. To us, this is indeed a startling proposition this is giving birth to a new and most dangerous power, which unsettles the very foundation of Ihe Government, and places the highest obligations of fundamental law on tho uncertain and capricious decision of deeply excited popular elections I ! This is nulli ng less than a surrender of Ihe tonstiluiion, under a ipeoious and artful appeal to the people in words im plying a deep and abiding respect for tiial sacred instrument. And does Mr. Van Buren suppose the people so weak as nut to see that under the profession of regard for Ihe Constitution, and this mode of deciding Constitutional questions, ho is rearing up a powor stronger than the Constitution, nnd establishing on its ruins a despotism t Mr. Van Buren, we helievo, is tho first President of the United Slates who has assumed that Ihe 'Exocutivo is a component part of Ihe Legislative power. Coupled with this Idea of an apical to the people on Constitutional questions, this is nueeua leariui power. GOV. SHANNON IN OLD HAMILTON. The Cincinnati Gazette informs us that at the late ub-Treasury Convention held at Carthage, the parly pproved of every thing and every body hut "his ex cellency" Wilson Shannon and hit "Bank Reform."

This playing with shadows on the part of Gov- Shannon's friends, is a miserable business. The quibble behind which they would screen themselves too contemptible for men to avail themselves of. Daniel Chase, (if he is the individual,! was not the gent of Cote, because nt the time when the negotia tion was made, he was the President of tho Manhattan Dank, and the atock had not then been transferred Colo! But who advanced tho money on the Gov- ernour's note! The Bank did not but Cole did, The Bank came into possession of tho note through Cole, after the transfer of the stock, when Mr. Chase ill not deny he was the salaried agent of Cole, though he was President of the Bank. Thoso miserable shifts are unworthy of the Gotiernour of Ohio,' how ever well they may suit Ihe calibre of his apologists, and will not prevent the facts coming distinctly before the peoplo.

Wo bospcak an attentive perusal of the Rovionr of this proilucilon, trnnsfi rrril to our columns to-day from the National Intelligencer, No one can read il without being instructed by its clearness of detail. President Van Duron has involved himself in n dilemma from which hie frionds will find it difficult to extricate him : Me has convicted himself of one of two tilings, a discreditable perversion of facts, or a carelessness In the performance of his official duties, hardly less culpable. lie may lake either horn of the dilemma. There is one fact which, in his haste to impeach the motives of his opponents, the President has inosl strangely overlooked : Ha dates the popular outbreak against the Standing Army project, after the appoar-ancoof Mr. Puinsolt's supplemental report of March 20. This is not so, when the remark is applied to those sections of country which have been most excited on the subject, and shows the utter fallacy and bad taste of all ho has said on the subject it is reasoning a posteriori. The causo lay in the report of the 30th November, which the President bad most heartily approved, and bunco the effect on the public mind. THE GLORIOUS OLD NORTH ! Thn National Intelligencer of the ISlh, in a postscript, gives the following cheering nows from North Carolina. The editors remark, it is from an authentic source, and may bo entirely relied upon" : "Raleigh, August 10, 1810. " b'inee I wrote yesterday, sufficient returns have been received to render it absolutely cortain that the whiga have carried the Slate. We shall havo a Whig Commons, a Whig Senate, a Whig Governour, and two Whig United Slates Senators! Our majority will he from six to eight thousand votes fur Governour, and on joint ballot wo shall have more than SO, perhaps 30, majority. A hundred guns for the Old North State!" This takes away the last hope of the Spoilers They havo been going doing thoy aro now GONE! ALABAMA. The latest news we have from this Stato comes to us through tho Nashville Whig of the 1 llh. It gives returns for members of the Legislature, with three counties to be heard from. The House stood equally divided, 48 on each side tho Senate 14 Whigs, 18 Lorofoco. The three counties to hear from elect four members of the House and one Senator. Unless the Whigs have elected all, they will not socure the joint ballot. Tho state of tho popular vote is not ascer tained. Our friends confidently claim Alabama for Harrison and Reform at the Presidential election. The great gain they have made warrants the calcula lion. JyKsriTijcKV and Indiana have not reported the details of the great victories. When received, we shall give the particulars. So far, all's wei.i. ! The shout of triumph ascends from every quarter of the Union. ILLINOIS. The hulianapolin Journal of tho 18th, gives the fol- lowing from Illinois : " This Slato has gone for tho Administration. It is said an unprecedented number of votes wero taken near 100,000, of which the Lo- cofocoes claim from 4,000 to 5,000 majority ; but the Sangamon Journal of the lllh says, if they havo a ma jority at nil it is not largo. When it is recollected that foreigners, after a residence of six months in that State, though they may have been in the United Status no longer, are allowed to vote, in violation of the naturalization laws of the United States, though not prohibited by the Stale Constitution, the result is not surprising. Illinois has always been a Van Buren State. Tho Whig papers, however, seem confident that she will give Harrison a majority in lliu fall. Tho following aru tho returns of members of the Lcuish' turo, as far as received : Senato, complete, I I Whigs Sfl Tories. House, as far as heard, 10 Whigs, 43 Tories no doubt giving the joint ballot to the Loco locoes. The Quinry Whig gives the most revolting accounts of tho violeneo committed nl the polls in that coun- ty. The military wore called out, and the riot was quelled aflor much difficulty. Tho Governour of the Stalo witnessed tho proceedings with apparent ealis faction, it is said, taking no steps to suppress the mob. Many of tho rioters were arraigned next day and fined, and some imprisoned tho Locofooo candidates appear ing ns their counsel before tho Mayor. In St. Clair, it is said, morn votos were polled than thero are men in the county. In Cook county, on tho Canal, scenf 3 of violeneo and bloodshed occurred. This is a foretaste of Loeofuco moderation on tho " rulo or ruin" system, MISSOURI. Tho Si. Louis Republican of the 13th, sums up the result in Missouri as far ai heard, from which we leain the following particulars i The Housoof Represent lives consists of 100 member, of which the Whigs have now 4 1, being a gain of five since the Inst election, not counting a lio in Warsaw, or any of the seats which will bo contested. In the Senate, the Whigs havo 15, the Tories 18, being a Whig gain of two 1: the Senate. The Republican remarks that fifty votes rightly distributed, " would havo covered all our lo99 es. and given the Whigs a majority of the House." In 31 counties where majorities have been ascer tained, the Whigs have gained between six and oven hundred on the popular vote fur Governour. The remaining counties give heavy Van Buren majorities but the returns, it is expected, will reduce them ver considerably. The Whigs are not disheartened at tho result, but have already oommencod with renowed leal fur the contest in November. J7"TheSt. Louis Republican of tho lllh, says ' The news for tho Whigs la glorious, so farns lli Legislature is concerned. If thoy do not havo a ma jority In the lower House, they will come nearer than they ever have since the orgauimlnn of the Slate. Wo hare now pretty certain intelligence nl the election of IS member. Tho House consists of a hundred three more will give us the majority. There wore contradictory reports in town yesterday is lo Jackson. She sends two members, and if she goes for the Whigs will make the parties alio." J Ncu) Si- in Indiana. Joseph A. Wright, V: Buren, has resigned his seat ns a Senator from Varkt county, which Is tho residenco of Cienoral Howard and gavo a tunjorliy fur Bigger. LET THE PEOPLE READ! J diopter on strict accountability, thawing how faithfully the J'eojile are nerval by their Agents made up from Official Documents. Tho recent announcement in tho Fort Wayne (Ind.) Sentinel, that Col. John Spencer, Land Receiver at that place, was a Defaulter anew lo the amount of 10 to 15,000 dollars, and that suit hid been brought for 33,000 dollars, which is tho balance of account against In in brings to mind the following correspondence between tho Secretary of the Treasury and the said Rcceivor, contained in the Report of the Coiniiiitleo of Investigation of 1830. Tho facts developed by this correspondence, demand the careful attention of every voter it discloses the true principles of aclion adopted in the public service, to wit, political subserviency, in preference to faithfulness and accountability, and furniihes a key to the numerous defalcations in the public service, ranging through all tho departments, from thu Cuslom-Ilouse down to tho petty Post-ofiiccs of the inleriour. The first in the series which we have selected, is from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Receiver, from which it would he inferred that the delinquent was in great danger of losing his offico : TnEASURV Dupautmknt, May 33, 183C. Sir: Since the date of mr letter to you of the :5th ultimo, your returns for the month of April have been received, from which I perceive that thu public moneys in your hands on the 301b ultimo amounted to the sum of S'J 17,-2.ri 1 61, which amount is Ihe ac cumulated receipts of your office since the 1st of January last, You cannot but bo aware thai the retention of the public moneys in your hands beyond me perl on ot one month, unless mo receipts ot sucn mouth bo less than $10,000, is a violation of your instructions. The object of this letter is, first, to rc- uire that the whole balance on hand at the lime of Ihe receipt of this letter shall be immediately deposited, and a certificate of such deposite transmitted to the Department without delay; second, to inform you that the Department cannot overlook the omission to do so, or your future neglect to deposite monthly, and to transmit your monthly returns, accompanied by the evidence of your deposile, in lime lo be received at mis oiuce wiiuiii uie monili next preceuiug wai lor which tho return is rendered: third, that any neglect or inattention to these requirements, unless satisfacto- ily accounted tor, will require of me, trom a sense ol Iticial duty, that you be reported to the President, with a recommendation that you be removed from office. I am, very respectfully, &o. LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary of the Ticaaury. Col. John Sprnckr, Receiver of I'uhllc Moneys, Fort Wayne, Indians. To this letter the Receiver makes no reply, but proceeds to make deposile of the moneys in hands, retaining a small balance, as will be seen by the fol- owing: TiiKASunv Department, July 8, 1830. Sin: Your account as rccoivcrof public monovs at Fort Wayne, for tho month of May Inst, with tho enclosed ceruncato ot deposite, in Hie Urancli Slato Dank of Indiana, for $510,133 09, has been received. leaving a balance in your hands of $00,917 40. I have to request to he informed why tho wholo amount in your hands was not deposited at tho came lime willi ihe first-mentioned sum. I am, very respectfully, rVc. LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary uf ilia Treasury. Joim Spencer, Esq. Itecclrer, tort vtayuc, Indiana. Upon tho receipt of this, the Receiver proceeds to explain, and winds up with the following kind and obliging promiso lo do better "Hereafter, I assuro you that Ihe depositos will ho made, so far as I am concerned, in strict accordance with my instructions." But it would seem from Ihe following from the Sec retary, that an incurable disease had laken possession of tho Rcceivor : Trkasi'rv Dp.paktmext, August 13, 1830. Sir: Your teller of the 28th ultimo, eiiclosinrr your monthly return for June, is received. Seeing that the balance in your hands nmonnts lo tho sum of S l(l(i,5llt 3S, I must require that the same be trans mitted lo thn bank uf deposite forthwith, and request you lo explain why tho amount has been so long retained in your hands. No answer to my letter of the Bin ultimo has been received. I am, &c. LEVI WOODBURY. Perrclsrv of tin Treasury. Receivm or Public Money, Fori Wuyne, la. Whereupon the Receiver bristles up and replies In the following rery satisfactory style, repealing his old promtso of doing belter in future: Ker-Eivtii's Omi'E, Fort Wayne, August 2'J, 183C. Sir: I have lust received vours of the I3th Insl. acknowledging Ihe receipt of my letter of Ihe 2Hth ultimo, anu returns lor that month. It also presents the inquiry, why the balance of $100,599 33 was retained so long on hand, and observes that no reply had been received lo your loiter of tho 8lh ultimo. In answer to the above, I renlv, that an answer at somo longih was written to your letter of the 8th, dated July 39, which was probably on tho way when you wrote on the 13ih instant, and would no doubt be received soon nfier. Ihe amount of funds in the Richmond bank, which I snoke of, was 53.831 39. and is included in die enclosed certificate of deposile. My reasons why the balance of 100,599 33 was so long retained, are as follows : On Ihe 30th of June I returned from depositing at Richmond. From this tune to the Stith I was busied in procuring secU' rity to my now bond, according to the requisition con. laioeu in tne circular trom the Uomuiissioner or tin General Laud Office of Ihe 25lh Mav. and which was received on tho llh of June, while I was absent. On the liflth I started for Rockville to havo it approved, and returned on the 10th of July. The office waa opened on the lllh, and the extraordinary press of uusinosx rendered it advisable that I should remain for a few days until the press would ho over. While prepnring the funds for deposite, which had nccumu luted to a largo amount, I received Ihe letter from Ihe president of the brunch at Indianapolis, (a copy of which i Bent you in my lotter or tho Win ultimo,) ri fusing the depositee from me. Afterwards, I re ceived another letter aeeenlinir them: and. as soon as I could thereafter, I left to make thu deposite, the rosull of which is contained in the enclosed certificate. I bog leave to repent the assurance that every at' leiition shall he given lo the subject of depositing which ns importance anil my only require. JOHN SPENCER, flretitw, Hon. Levi WonnnuRv, tta-relury of the Treasury. Somo fears being now entertained by the Receiver, that notniihstauding thn patience and furboar- anco of tho Secretary, something more than mere promises to do belter would be required, he procured tho following letter lo be written by U. S, Senator Hendricks. Tho render will note Iho conclusion "belter lot it be." How patriotic! But il had the desired i fleet, us will be seen by Ihe careful Secretary's reply. Let Iho reader also nolo the letter from I(o-ceiver Spencer, under dulu of October 27, showing how grateful he was for the patroniiitig care and for bearance of Mr. Secretary Woodbury and his "Demo- cratio friends." Thcso thrco loiters, laken together, form a picturu for tho people lo look til, in which they will recojftiiio the wholo pulley of Iho administration connected with the receipt mid disbursement of tho publio moneys: Madison, Jlugusl 31, 1830. Sin: I am informed that some thlncrs are stated cenlly to the prejudice of Colonel John Spencer, ceivcr at Fort Waynej and I am requested to wrile you. In doing so, I can only say that 1 have been ralified in learning that his deposites have been made your saiisiac.iion; and, it so, 1 hope that minor tilers, if mere irregularities, will he overlooked. e Is renuled to bn an honest nnd honorable man. and do not believe that he has intentionally either done rongor violated Ins Instructions. It would to some xtent produce excitement if he wero removed, for he as many warm nnd influential friends both at Fort Wayne and in Dearborn county, from which he removed to his present residence.

My democratio friends think that I ouirht not to leave until afler we hold our election for President, on tho 7ih November, which I hnvo concluded to await; and shall leave on that evening, or tho next morning, to deposile, Wltn all the lends on hand up lo that lime. I shall write you nirain before I leave. Tho sales are piu, mcstly paid in gold and silver.

McCartt, of the House of Representatives, for in formation in relation to the management of tho Land office at Fort Wayne, he replied "I have looked into the papers and correspondence referred to, and regret tu find them so voluminous, and some of them if such a personal character, that il would not comport with the general rules of the Department to furnish copies of them, unlets lo individuals interested or as- ailed in them, or on a proper call by Congress"!!! The finale lo oil this is found in the announcement in tho Fori Wayne paper, to which we alluded in the commencement. How long will the People nut un wiih such plundering of the publio Treasury! A multiludo of facts are before tliem enough has been said, drawn from official sources, to convince any man who was not wilfully blind and determined to adhere to Iho administration through all its corruptions. Tho ubject is in their hands their verdict musl be pro- ounccd through Iho ballot boxes, and upon that ver diet depends tho future character of our Government whether it shall be accountable to the People, or the 'eople lo the Government a REPUBLIC, or a DESPOTISM. OUTBREAK OF POPULAR SENTIMENT IN NEW-YOUK. Wiih mingled feelings of pride nnd gratification, we give place to tho following account of the recent State Convention in New-York. The mealing was intend cd for an ordinary Convention of Delegates from the dilVerent counties, to mako nominations of Governour and Lieutenant Governour, nnd an Electoral Ticket. But Ihe enthusiasm of thu People could not bo re- pressed ihey attended en maw from tho surrounding counties, and gavo ulteranco to their feelings in a voice of ihundor that will ring through tho Empire Statu from one extreme to tho other.

The popular wave is again in motion. We shall soon b in possession of the proceedings of the great South Western Convention, which assembled In Nashville on Monday last. From the nole of preparation, we shall not he disappointed to hear of the largest as semblage of the sovereign People on Ibis occasion, that has yet taken place. Coupled with this, and prece ding it, comes the unexpected assemblage of thousands at Uiica, of which some account is given in another column. Theso larire and overwhelming meelinn. taken in connexion with those noar at hand, at Wheeling, Chillicothe, and Dayton, and Ihe largo masses that attend tho appointments of the Democratio Whig candidate for Governour, in his progress through the State, givo cheering ovidence that Iho popular wave is again in motion, and bodes the signal overthrow of the Spoilers. The People wuitbuttho coming content at the polls, to show the correctness of these cheering signs. DISTINGUISHED CONVERTS. Gen. Call, of Florida, formerly ftid-de-camp, and always tho political and personal friend of Gen. Jackson, lately addressed a large Whig meeting in Philadelphia, and was at the latest dales cheering on the Wh.gs of New-Jersey lo resistance against the tyranny of Ihe Administration. His defence of Gen. Harri son, in iiis speeches, is said to be able and warm from the heart. In addition, we have the open and published renun ciation of the Van Buren creed, from Ex-Govcrnour Runnels, of Mississippi. By the by, we have Ihe most cheering accounts from Mississippi. The Lo-cofocoes are alarmed at the prospect before them in that State, and wo now put down Mississippi as almost certain for Harrison and Reform. Who can stop this ball! A rumour has got afloat that Gen. Eaton, the bio grapher and attached personal friend of Gen. Jackson, who has just returned from Spain, shows the blind side of his face lo Mr. Van Buren. Can this be Iruet Appearances seem to warrant it. AND STILL THEY COME1 The Lancaster (Ohio) Gazeto of the 17ih, contains a call for a mooting of the true Democrats of Old Fairfield, at the Court House in Lancaster, on Satur day, 22d instant, (to-morrow,) signed by Three Hun dred and Six original Jackson men, and citizens of that county! The Dayton Journal of the 18th Aug. contains a renunciatiun of Van Burenism signed by 41 "true Democrats" of Montgomery county. The Washiugtonian of Aug. 13 contains a renunciation of Van Burcn's " reducing" policy signed by 33 citizens of Fayette county; and the Troy Times of the 19th adds 10 more, ciliaens of Monroe township, Miami county. One hundred citizens of Cayuga county, New-York, who voted for Van Buren in 1830, pro claim through the Auburn Journal of Aug. 13, that they are In conscience compelled to withhold from him their support for a re-election. CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. The Whigs of this truly Democratio county have advertised a grand rally for Tuesday the Bill day of September, at which Gen. Harrison has consented to be present. The work goes bravely on in old Champaign. The descent of Ihe Vice President on Ihe county, accom- ImI,1 )V itfinitrtr rf th Hero nf llip Thimpq. has brought out tho true spirit, and is working wonders. The Urbana Citizen gives an account of tho Locofoco gathering at that place on the lllh. After hearing the Vice President and Gov. Shannon, and when Senator Allen nroso ami commenced his abuse of Gen, Harrison, having previously appointed a meeting in front of the Court-House, the Whigs moved off. The Citisen thus notices this proceeding: "When the hour arrived and the bell rung, thero was a tremendous rush to the Court-House. Senator Allen, who bad by this lime procecdid about thirty minutes with his speech, lost at least one half of his audience. When ihe immense crowd had got fairly settled at the Court-House, Gen. Mason was loudly called for, when he came forward and addressed the multitude in one of the niosl eloquent and instructive speeches we have ever had thn pleasuru of listening lo. Gun. Mason was repeatedly interrupted by im mense rhceriug. Tho utmost enthusiasm prevailed among ihe Whigs; and we havo no hesitation in saying that this Hireling has given an impetus to the big cause in Champaign thai will provo disastrous lo our opponents. Already havo we heard of five or six changi'S in our favor. The good work of Harrison and Reform is onward ; and we can assure our friends at a distanca that Champaign will be truo to her integrity."'Among the incidents connected wiih tho late Log Cabin raising in Lancaster, the Gazottc states that a venerable mother and pairiotio pioneer, the parent of Ihe first wliito child born in the Hocking Valley, came Into town attended by her descendants of the first and second generation, all staunch Whigs, bringing with them a full proportion of Buckeye material for the erection of the primitive edifice which now decorates tho publio square of Lancaster, Such incidents, of late occurring so frequently, show the estimate placed upon Ihe old Hiiro and Statesman by those who occu pied Ihe log cabins of the West during the perils of that war in which he oxercisid his guardianship over them. Uniting in .lllrghcny. On the 13th Aug. the Tip. peeanoe boys of Allegheny city, Pa., had a raising, at which Col. William Robinson, who was born in ihe first ' Log Cabin" built on Ihe west bank of the Allegheny, presided. The Pittsburgh Advocate gives the lowest estimate of the numbers present as 0,000 characterizing them as really the l'eople, men of all ages, circumstances, and occupations, with their innlh era, wivos, daughters, and sisters. Some oslimalo tho number al from 10,000 to 13,000. They weie addressed by citizens of Ohio, Maryland, nnd Ponn. sylvania. The Great Lancaster ( Pom.)' (Wend'on The Philad. Iphia V. S.

By counting Ihe sections, and multiplying them by lb number in each, an accurate result could bo had. Tho editor snys his informant waa one of six persons who counted, and the result was 5,129 '.his was iho high est number imule by eiihcr of the parties. The count of a Van Buren man was 1,850. This Convention lias been stand nt all Ihe Intermediate numbers between 13.000 and 40,000! That rank old Federalist, Senator Buchanan, preiidcd, as il was meet he should. Ttnihlo havo been the people's wrongs for the lasl 13 yean, and terribly are the peopl avenging them. HOW TO SETTLE A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. In his Virginia Idler, of which we havo spoken in another place, Mr. Van Buren puis aside Ihe Judiciary, and refers Ihe legal points arising on tho Bank quoslion directly to our papular elections. He does not lei bound in tins case to wail "until it becomes ne cessary lo act offioially in the matter." And what is prevent the same rule being extended lo the Stand- g Army project, or any oilier monstrous " matter" at the ambition of leaders or Iho fermnnlation of par lies may throw uppermost 1 The argument that his election will be a final adjustment of the eoiufifu- lionality (not policy) of a Bank of tho United States, thus stated. Hear our second Solon : " I desire moro especially that thev should know it now, when an opportunity, the best our form of Go vernment allows, will soon be presented, to express in, iiiiiiiuh ui us propriety, ii iney are in lavor oi National Bank, as a permanent branch of their insti tutions, or if ihey desire a Chief Marislrale who will consider it his duty lo watch the course of events, and ivo or withhold his assent to such nu institution, ac-arding lo thodcureeof necessity for it that may in his opinion arise from the considerations lo which your question refers.lhey will See that my oo-operation in the promotion oi either oi uiese views cannot be expected. If, on thn olher hand, with Ibis seasonable, explicit, and published avowal before them, a majorily of Iho people of Ihe United Stales shall nevertheless bestow upon me their sullrages for the office of President, scepticism itself must cease lo doubt, and admit there will to be that there shall not be any Bank of tho United Slates, unlil the people, in the exercise of their sovereign authority, see fit to give to Congress Ihe right to establish one." On this proposition, Gen. GnrEN, of the Baltimore ilot, makes the following sound remarks, which we ink worthy of tho most serious attention : " Now what can be moro dangerous Iban thus lo for Constitutional Questions lo the popular tribunal t It is an anneal to tho self-love of the nonulace. under the deep excitement of a popular election, where all lie tniiiience ol party discipline, and the most corrupt-ng influence of the Federal Executive, is brought to learon a nuestion of law. which, bv the Constitution. has boen referred to the Judiciary, to be there disposed of, after careful, impartial, and unbiased deliberation. To us, this is indeed a startling proposition this is giving birth to a new and most dangerous power, which unsettles the very foundation of Ihe Government, and places the highest obligations of fundamental law on tho uncertain and capricious decision of deeply excited popular elections I ! This is nulli ng less than a surrender of Ihe tonstiluiion, under a ipeoious and artful appeal to the people in words im plying a deep and abiding respect for tiial sacred instrument. And does Mr. Van Buren suppose the people so weak as nut to see that under the profession of regard for Ihe Constitution, and this mode of deciding Constitutional questions, ho is rearing up a powor stronger than the Constitution, nnd establishing on its ruins a despotism t Mr. Van Buren, we helievo, is tho first President of the United Slates who has assumed that Ihe 'Exocutivo is a component part of Ihe Legislative power. Coupled with this Idea of an apical to the people on Constitutional questions, this is nueeua leariui power. GOV. SHANNON IN OLD HAMILTON.

This playing with shadows on the part of Gov- Shannon's friends, is a miserable business. The quibble behind which they would screen themselves too contemptible for men to avail themselves of. Daniel Chase, (if he is the individual,! was not the gent of Cote, because nt the time when the negotia tion was made, he was the President of tho Manhattan Dank, and the atock had not then been transferred Colo! But who advanced tho money on the Gov- ernour's note! The Bank did not but Cole did, The Bank came into possession of tho note through Cole, after the transfer of the stock, when Mr. Chase ill not deny he was the salaried agent of Cole, though he was President of the Bank. Thoso miserable shifts are unworthy of the Gotiernour of Ohio,' how ever well they may suit Ihe calibre of his apologists, and will not prevent the facts coming distinctly before the peoplo.
