THE EVENING POST. THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE S2. Tbt Poughkeepsie is said to be a sort of "organ" of the Maison and Tallmadje party ia Dutchess county, has a long article, partly in defence of Senator Tallmadge, and principal ly in abuse of us. To the personalities of the article, which consist merely ol the vulgar slang learned by the writer from the lowest of the whig papers in this city, we shall make no reply, and indulge in no recrimination. We know nothing of the conductor or the Poughkeepsie Journal, and whatever we might know we should say nothing? and we know little of his paper.

Paullo inajora eanamut. We strike at higher game. Our business is with Senator Tallmadge. It hns been urged that Mr. Tallmadge ought to be spared because he belongs to ihe democratic party.

The Poughkeepsie print says Should not they, who know that in unity is strength, avoi all useless altercations, and so long at they tan pull tot her in tho gencrul cause, not ntiarrcl about minor matter, or denounce each oilier lor trilling d.fHreuces We should like to know what the Poughkeepsie paper means by minor matters and trilling differences. The general cause" in which we are contending is equality of rights and the largest liberty of the citizen. We acknowledge no other, aud will rail no man democrat by whom this cause is not aupported. The strife in which we are engaged is not a wretched scramble for place, or a struggle to elevate certain personal favorites, but a contest for the success of the moBt liberal principles of govern ment, embodied in the freest forms. What is the principal subject of difference be tween the citizens of the United States at the pre sent moment The banking question, certainly It is the great controversy of the time; it is a question which occupies all minds and all tongues.

It has led to the formation of two great parties One of these parties demands that no special char ters shall be granted, that no banking monopolies shall exist, whether state or national, and that all citizens shall be placed in this respect on an equal footing. This is the democratic party. The oth er demands the maintenance ot the present banking system, the credit system as matured and perlect ed in the United States," the system ot special charters and exclusive privileges. This is the an tagonist, the opposite, the antipodes of the demo cratic party. When we find a public man like Mr.

Tallmadge espousing the interests of this party, ariaying himself with the lriends of exclusive privileges, co ming to the aid of the bankrupt banks, and proposing a plan for the extension of their mischievous and misused powers, we do not stop to inquire whether he is nominally of our party, and whether he supports Mr. Van Buren. He has abandoned democratic principles, and that is enough for us. He may still cling upon the skirts of our party, solicit offices from its hands, and support its candidates that we cannot help but he is no democrat. We shall animadvert upon his conduct as freely as it he were a whig.

What! shall the apologist of exclusive privileges, the advocate ol monopolies, the champion of a Chartered Nobility of Bankers, come forward with a scheme for the direct extension of the pciogatives of the Bank Peerage, and think to escape animadversion because he says, I beloug to your party and support your candidates?" How truly we spoke when we pronounced Mr. Tallmadge's scheme whiggish and anti democratic, may be inferred from the fact that his letter has been copied wiih applause into every whig paper ia tlii Hi Haatrino nr precisely tO tllC taste ot those who hate and distrust the people. We perceive, also, that the Times, the organ ot the party in this city called by the burlesque title of bank democrats, joins in the toue and cry raised by these prints against the Evening Post. We shall copy, in conclusion, as the best defence which has been made for Mr. Tallmadge, the portion of the Poughkeepsie article which relates to his motives in asking that the banks might be allowed to issue small notes.

But has Mr. Tallmadge gone oiT alter his private inte rrats? If being instrumental in giving an impetus to the busmen operations ot Poughkeepsie, without deriving personal benefit, be evidence, ho has. If the aid which he has rendered in building churches and lounding seminaries ot learning, trora which he has not and cannot derive three per cent, for money invested, be evidence, lie lias. I weeks and years devoted to the advunccment ol the permanent prosperity of this county be evidence, he has. If his exertions for the introduction of new branches of business, and the en rouraetnent ot domestic manufactures be evidence, he has.

If untiring xeal and devotion to the best interests ol the village be evidence, he has. There is no man here, so mad as to supposo that be has advanced his private intcrcrln, by what the Evening Post calls his great land epeculations then why charge nun with sinister designs 1 why travel out of the record to seek for motives, when his acts arc so evidently operating for the public good Why talk of his Dutchess County Bank, in which, like hundreds ol others he is only a stockholder 7 and in tine, why descend from the dignity of argument to indulge in abuse What a glorious spectacle docs the Poughkeepsie Journal set beiorc us in this passage A speculator for the public good a man who buys and sella lots for the benefit of his country, without the least thought of putting money into his own pocket a disinterested stockholder who owns shares in the Dutchess County Bank for the welfare ot his constituents We teel that no remarks of ours are necessary on this point. That Mr. Tallmadge is a land speculator, and that he is connected with the Dutchess County Bank, are admitted facts. That the course he has taken in asking additional powers and immunities lor the Chartered Order is favorable to his personal interest, both as a speculator and stockholder, has not been, and will not be, denied.

The conclusion is this, that he has followed his private interests, and that he has left the democracy To our correspondent, John Dupont Ricardo," with whose manner we arc pleased, so far as he has gone, we would say, thai it will not be possible for us to find room lor the series of which be speaks. We havealready on hand as many communications, come of them of great interest and merit which we are anxious to insert we can possibly pub. lish for some time to come. A succinct statement of our cor respondent's plan, and of the arguments by which it is supported, we would publish with pleasure, as an act of justice to the causa he espouses but a series of essays on the sub jecl would inevitably exclude from our columns the defence of views which we deem to be true and important. 1 11 Collector's Nonce.

The morning papers contain a police of the Collector of Ibis Port, addressed to the impor ters of woollen goods, reciting the provisions of law requir ing the duties to be paid in cash without discount, or if pla cd in store under bond, one hall in 3 months, and one half in months, with interest at 6 per cent. If the duties are not paid when due, so much of the goods will be sold as will pay the amount and expenses. Where no consignee is named in the manitest, the owner or consignee is requested to ac knowieoge tne ownership as soon as possible. Cactwm. A number of small bUla of the denomination of twenty five ces ts are in circulation in the markets, and from what welearo are taken freely.

They are drafts neatly lithographed, drawn by a J.Coodnow.on the New York Joint Stock Exchango Company. We know of no such company as this stock co, although thero is an advertisement in the Times ot this morning, locating the company in the Phenu buildings. The advertisement, however, has no signature, and we learn that no such person as J. Good now is to be found at New Jersey, where the drafts bear date! Would it not be well for persons taking these bills to inlorm themselves of their value before placing implicit confidence ia them. Importation op Foreign Graim.

Sixty thousand oushels of foreign grain were imported into Baltimore the dy before yesterday. For ikt Evening TotL The other day 1 read in the American, an attack upon the theorists and visionaries of the Evening Post I perceive that since that time the American has admitted into its columns the theories and visions ol a correspondent who signs himself Qtiesnai, and who got quite as far as any of the discutants of the day. Nay, tho American itself has adopt, ed a part of these theories or rather has declared itself against the theory of a National Bank. I muet beg the Evening Post to put on record the following abjuration or a national sake bt nir. new tors: AMERICAN.

"Respecting a Bank of the United States, we confess thut our opinions have undergone some change not in regard to the efficiency of such a machine to regulate the currency, but as to the influence which, through it, may be exorcised on our politics. Such an institution, in order to xcomphsh its proper ends, must have lurpo powers and means. We have seen that a refusal to employ this power in the kervice of a party, led to a warfare on tho Bank, which destroyed it, and convulsed the country. While, then, it can be an obj. ct of political strife to get possession of such an institution, neither our currency nor our political institutions would be free from liability to dangerous shocks." 1 his ia one of the Evening Post notions adopted by the merican.

But what sa vs duesnai about banks in general He repeats the Evening Post doctrine precisely When a raze for speculation has seized upon our ex citable population, have our banks interposed to check and extinguish it, as they easily might have done, and as tho interests of their stockholders, ot the public, nay, of their dealers themselves, required Not at all. From want of judgment, or want of firmness, these institutions Lave added to the wasting fury of the epidemic, greatly damaging the public, seriously injuring their share holders, destroying their own credit, and finally ruining the fortunes, and too often the characters, of those very customers who have caused all the mischief." Fine Monsieur Qurrnai The writer then goes on to gue against a national bank from its great power of mischief. which did such vast mischief in the time of the famous panic of 1834, He denies that we have any risht to expect thut this power will be wisely or honestly exercised, or more wise ly and honestly than the state banks hare exorcised theirs, duesnai also illustrates a true position with a good story, a la modede Evening Post. But experience is appealed to, and I am reminded, that twice, and twice only, have our banks suspended specie payments, and on both occasions, immediately after the suppression of the United States Bank. Before 1 reply to this, 1 wilt endeavor to enliven a dull dissertation, with an anecdote quoted by Dttgald Stewart.

A missionary had been sent among some savages, in Africa, to convert them to Christianity. During his sojourn a rnons them the country was visited" by a terrible drought, and the ignorant blacks took it into their heads that the pious man could furnish them with the much desired rain. Aor dingly they intormedhim that, satisfied ot his influence with Ihe powers above.it their fields were not refreshed by the requisite showers, within a specified time, they should put him to death. The poor man.ot course urgea nis mammy 10 comply with their wishes they were deaf to his remonstrances: but luckilv the rain did come within the specified time. So far, all was well, but unfortunately a second drought came a second application was made, and a second time the poor clergyman had to aver his wantot ability to control the clouds.

The reply was that although on the former occasion his plea had some appearance of truth, experience had now settled the question. What is caileu experience, pos sesses, 1 fear, not unfrequently much of the same character in America as in Amca. in tins particular case, nowever, our experience is not quite, uniform Mr. Biddle's bank having shared the fate of all others." In the following passage, follows exactly the Evening Post method in dishing up Mr. Biddle, the great financier.

Mr. Biddle. when in this citv. in March last, was as profoundly ignorant as one of hi clerks, of the nature and extent ol tne lornauo, wmcn, in ine eyes oi an soocr jju co, had been approaching for months, and was just in tho actol bursting upon us. It is othcrwiso inexplicable, that lie should have told the merchants there had been no overtrading, and still more incredible, that he should have exchanged I bonds and post notes of bis Bank, to the extent, if 1 recollect rightly, of two millions, for mercantile paper, of whica, perhaps, a moiety became in a few days valueless.

I.et any one contemplati: these facts; let him bear in mind that Mr. Biddle's Bank is sorely pressed between the resumption of specie payments and the forfeiture of its charter; and let him then point out how a connection between tlie Treasury and thut Bank would have obviated our deplorable condition, and its own. The simple truth, I apprehend, is, and would have been, that Mr. Biddle fell into the general delusion, and like many others, no longer "calm as a summer's morning," he is doing penance for tho errors in which he has participated." Vive Monsier say I again. Here follows some Evening Post Loco focoism Irani the same writer.

As far as government is concerned, the parallel betwer religion and currency has always appeared to me to be complete. It was ages, before the, now well understood, secret of manaoin? the former was discovered that is, of permitting it to lake care ot itsell and it win, 1 icar, oe miiik: time yd before Ihe latter will receive the benefit of the same simple prescription. If, however, the voice of wisdom could ever be heard when she first proclaims the truth to nations, people and rulers would Ions since have been taught by Adam Smith, that if Governors would only bo content to guard the governed Irom external aggression anu internal fraud and violence, political societies would attain all the felicity which political institutions can contcr." Pity that the American will let these theorists and visionaries find utterance in his columns. QUID. Movement In Ohio.

From the Cadiz, (Ohio) Sentinel, we learn that a very large meeting of the democracy of Harrison county, was held on the 12th instant, at which Thomas C. Vincent, Esq. presided. The meeting was obly addressed by the Hon. Benjamin Tappan resolutions were passed unanimously approving of the specie circular as sole beneficial to the interests of the community, and chock ing the paper issues of the banks.

The suspension of specie payments by the banks was declared an evil only to be re medied by a repeal of their charters. Tho meeting view a Dank a a national calamity which the local banks are endeavoring to force on the coun try by a concerted scheme, and their representatives in Con gress are instructed to oppose and vote against a National Bank, and against any other than a specie currency. The resolutions also declare that it is highly inexpedient to favor tbo issuo oi small notes by any corporate body. A great public meeting also look place in Steubenvill Ohio, on the 7th instant. Mr.

William McDonald, presid ed Judge Tappan, offered resolutions much to the import above recited, and expressing the opinion that the country has been brought to its present situation as to business and want of confidence amongst men, by overtrading, extravagant and wild speculations, and that such overtrading, ex travagantand wild speculations have been caused by unwise law which have given to a multitude of private corporations the whole power over the circulating medium of the country. The endowment of individuals or associations of men, with any exclusive privileges, is denounced as improper and unconstitutional. Attila, a Romance, has been published by the Harpers. It is from the pen of Mr. James.

Brunswick Lots Dinner Boat Race Challenge to Whitehaller. A sale of city lots took place on the 25th at New Brunswick, Geo. Thirty scvenJots sold for 5350 each. I he effect ot the sale was to raise the price ot some lots held by individuals a hundred per cent. After the sale a large company sat down to dinner.

When dinner was over, a race took place in the harbor. The successful boat is the Goddess of Liberty," owned by Col. Dubignon, of Jekyl Island she is dug out of a Cypress log, and is a most perfect model of symmetry. She has been victorious at several of the races of the St. Simons' Club.

The Aquatic Club," some months since, offered a challenge to the New Yorkers of $10,000, the contest to take place in Sa vannah river during the month of November next, which has not yet been met. The Brunswick Advocate, from wbich wc gather these particulars, adds the expression of its hope that the Whitehall boatmen will not permit this banter to remain unnoticed. Reform Convention Harrisboro, June ICth. The ninth section of the 2d article was adopted, and the various amendments rejected. The different sections were passed over unto the Hlh.

Various amendments were offered and discussed. On the 1 7th the Convention adjourned without doing any thing of moment, till Monday. On Monday, the Conven tion proceeded to the consideration ol the 14th Section of Article 2, to which Mr. BoJ of Chester, bad offered an a mendment, providing that in case ol the death, resignation or removal of tho Governor, a new election shall take place at the next annual election, unless 'such annual election come within three months after the happening of a vacancy, in which case the new Governor to be chosen at the second annual election thereafter. Mr.

Bell's amendment was then adopted, and also the section as amended. Ayes Noes 48. Mr. Read moved to amend the 15th section, by striking out the clause giving the Governor power to appoint a Secretary of State, which was carried. The section as amended was then adopted.

The Convention then look up the shird article relative to the right of suffrage. Various propositions were made to amend the report ot the Committee which was, one years residence, no tax qualifications, male fttaeni of the United 21 years of sge and upwards. The discussion continued till tb hour of adjournment Fkom Siscapoie. By a late arrival from the east, we1 have a Cle of Singapore papers, for which we are under obligations to the politeness of Mr. BaJesticr, the American Consul.

I Ihe Maldive Islands. From the transactions of the Bombay Geographical Society, we leam that the Bombay Government ordered a careful survey of these Islands to be made by Captain Moresby, which has been done with the aid vf Lieutenant Young and Mr. Christopher, the resist ol which has been a most accurate and beautiful chart. The commerce of teose Islands appears to be fast de clining not more than one fifth of the vessels visiting them that formerly did. The profits of the trade are, however, considerable.

In 1824, no less than 76 lacs of fish were purchased by English vessels alone; in another subsequent year, 56; but another, only ten. The sickness lo which strangers are most liable is a bowel complaint, which appears peculiar to these islands. The only remedy is immediate departure for the continent If ew Zealand. A dreadful slaughter and destruction ol property was committed by the natives of Waikatto, Mata niata and Touranga, at Make! where Richard Jones, Esq. ftL of Sydney, bad an establishment, wbich was totally burnt down, and upwards of one hundred tons of flax destroyed or carried away.

The fierce assailants were eight hundred well aimed men, together wiih numerous slaves without arms, while the defenders did not amount to more than one hundred and twenty, including women and child reo. The savage assailants soon cleared every obstacle, kdling every man they came across, and making prisoners of the women and children. The unfortunate victims were dragged from their houses; and while held down by the legs und arms, to prevent resistance, savagely butchered with tomahawks. Quarters and heads of men lay scattered about in every direction while the exulting yells of the conquering party added, if possible, to the surrounding hor rors. This party had also, on their wny to Maketu, fallen in with thiiteen of another hostilo tribe, eleven of whom they murdeed, and feasted on their flesh, which they baked in oven.

The establishment ol Mr. Scott had also been plun dered ot a considerable quantity of clothing and cooking utensils, by a parly of Touranea natives. The dwelling house of Mr. Tapsel was also burnt. The alleged ground for the attack was that some natives of the hostile tribe had been killed by those upon whom vengeance was taken.

Illici Trade in Opium. The commissioners appointed by the Emperor lo frame regulations for the importation and barter of Opium, reported that notwithstanding the severe restrictions put upon the traders, the schemes of the crafty vagabands daily multiplied. Receiving ships were anchored the outer seas brokers under the name of metteri were estifclised in the inner land fast crabs, and scrambling dragons, species of fast boats, were got up for clandestine tra nsoortion and extortionate vazrants set themselves to work for their own emolument. The authorities were ad vised, therefore, to relax certain regulations, and permit the article to be imported without restraint, but to be paid for in merchandise, not specie. No "barbarian" should receive "specie" for opium.

This was to prevent smuggling, and to stop the exportation of treasure. Parapattan Orphan Amlcm. This Institution was founded at Butavia about the close of the year 1332, liavin, for its object the maintenance and education ot Orphans and oilier children, the descendants of Christian left destitute in that part of India. Thirty five children receive the benefits of this institution. It was intended originally to limit the establishment to natives of Java, but destitute chil drcn in the Straits settlements arealike admirable, on being proposed by a subscriber.

The education which the children receive is pretty much the same as that afforded ut the Singapore school. The in' stitution is supported by subscriptions and donations, and is chierlv under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Mcdhurst. With a urplus of 6000 guilders, and such additional amount as can be collected, it is contemplated to enlarge the building.

and thus extend the sphere of its usefulness. Tne Pepper Ports. A correspondent of the Singapore Free Press, speaking of the inefikcieut protection afTorded by tlirt British vessels to trade rs on the West coast of Sumatra generally called tho "pepper ports," says, Tho American Government has not proved itself so in different to the shedding of the blood of their citizens as the punishment inflicted by them, about three years ago, on th pfople of CluJlla Balu for the murder of the crew of the friendship can testify, and which has had, and may con tie ne to have, some etlt ct in checking, for a short time, this iisum nriwenaii of "the most flagitious and treacher ous people of the East" as they are justly characier.zcd oy Marsdcn. But their memories quire to be frequently re frished on the subject and quite aware 1 suppose of this necessity, and from an intimate knowledge of thtir character, an American Irigate just looked in" Ihis season lor that purpose at several of their ports. The subjects of every other power frequenting these parts are greatly beholden to the A' merican for this vigilant and spirited conduct, as it has tended to increase the security of all.

It would be well that we should go and do likewise that we should follow, since we had not chosen to lead." The complaints spoken of by the writer, a Sufferer," arc these: 14 Year after year these petty and despicable tyrants yclept Rnjahs, will, on the slightest pretence, faslen some quarrel on the unoffending and unsuspecting stranger while he is on shore, seize his boat, ard having thus cut oil Ins communi cation with his ship, place him in clcso and harrassing custo dy the real object ot winch is to excuse them trom the pay ment ol money which they justly owe to effect which they generally leign some abbjrd and frivolous pretext and tin tsh by laying the trader under a heavy fine for some con structive disrespect which they will impute to him for claim ing payment oi nis just ucoi The Singapore. Journal attct ta the truth of what its cor respondent alledges, and observes There is no doubt the flag of the United Stales is held along that coast in greater respect, than ours the natural consequence of the determination the Americans have shown to protect the life and properly of their subjects and avenge their blood. Jl Svfjtrtr indeed savs that the vigilant con duct of the Americans on that coast has tended to the general security ol' traders rcsortingthither this is no doubt true but Irom the intormation wc have received, it would appear that there is not an equal security to the British as to the American trader trom such acts ot oppression as our coires pondent makes mention of such treatment falls more frequently to the lot ot Ihe former."

The Baltimore Transcript states that some excitement was got up in that city tbe other day, owing to the exposure of a parcel of human bones on the premises of a colored man named Hackctt, who sold sausages last winter in the market.

The fact was, the skeletons found on his premises belonged to the old Washington Medical College, and when that building was converted into dwellings, they were taken to llackett's stable lor storage, where tiny remained until a late flood washed them out to public view. Immediately a rumor got abroad that the flesh of these skeletons were made into sausages, and had been sold to the people and eaten. Another rumor was, that a trap door was found in the floor, aapable of being instantly slipped aside at the touch of a secret spring, down which unsuspecting victims were plunged into deep vaults beneath. Boxes of drugs for producing instant death, it is saiJ, were also found, and a liquid, probably like that described by Maria Monk used in the Hotel Dieu, at Montreal, for de stroying the flesh of the slaughtered bodies. The Washington City Volunteers, under tbe command of captain Irving, arrived at this port yesterday attemoon, in the bngivl aryland, in ten days from lampa Bay.

Halt. rans. We find in the York Sun, of this morning, the fol lowing statement of its opinions on the subject of banking. It is the true and safe doctrine, in our opinion, with the ex ception that it involves the error uf substituting the guaranty of the state tor the vigilance of individual interest. The best security lor the payment oi the notes of bankers, and the best guard against a depreciated paper currency, will consist in that spirit of watchfulness and distrust with which private credit, unsupported by any government interference, is regarded.

The giving of security to tqe stale would con travene in a good measure the wholesome effect of this watch fulness. We are opposed to all Banks deriving privileges from or in any ay connected with the State or Nation. Individual enterprise, under proper restrictions, would soon erect institutions both as sate and convenient as the old United States Bank and without any motive toaim at political influence. Had the Legislature of this State, instead of countenancing tbe swindling combination of the chartered Banks, aban doned them to their fate, and authorized every person to lablish a bank, who could give good security to the State for the redemption ol his promises in specie, on dsmand, the despicable rag currency with which we are now overrun, might soon give way to notes which at least would be what their face purported."
