MANAGED, NUMBER 43.

CAK It is known that ALBERT GALLATIN has been recently writing several letters on the fin mccs the nation. At this time, we have tp- proved of these letters, because they wero calculated to excite panic, and thus embarrass country in the prosecution of the war. the Yet THK FAITHFUL, THE SECOXV GEKMASS. they contain some important truths, whii are not merely for the present hour, but are calculated to be referred to hereafter. One of these ij a statement so remarkable and yet so true, that we would-call particular attention tn says: "I evermore assert with perfect confidence, tint c-lthoui'h a Hank not skilfully managed may lose money, and flic stockholders a part their capital, yet no lank, with a sufficient rapitat actually paid in, can become an 1 a ble to discharge its debts to the public, ui.leas it IT will be remembered that the previous intellig insurrection pie have finally triumphed against all the stand ing armies of their tyrannical King.

"The inhabitants of the two Sicilies triumphed over the King, and a Constitution has been agreed In--founding liberal Legislative sentation." This exceeds every expectation. The following fact is also very significant: "Lord PALMEBSTON has given notice to Austria that any further armed intervention in papal affaire will be considered a declaration of war by Great Hritain." is another rivet for Power and Privilege: "The Inquiry into the State National Defences ended in the determination to double her The conviction is gradnall IRON TRADE IMW8 OF 1IKMAHD AND tuo TO uiscnarge ututa i-" 5 was encicu in ine hasten conducted fraudulently, or i that arti i le ry force, embodying 15,000 lhc WARD has given the largest Jnajority of any Warl for the Constitution--only 8 out of 4f2 votes w. re thrown against it. This is the German and the vote is peculiarly honorable to that class of our They almost unanimously voted for the old Constitution, and now they alio give a crowning majority for the new Constitution. The 'Iron Second' is always ready at the polls.

The Germans not oi.ly are true republicans, but they so highly prize the Franchise, that they are ever ready to attenl to its call. We have between -1 and 5.000 Germans in Milwaukee, and it is a source of pri Je to know that they arc not only industrious and most useful hut law-abiding cans, whom we can rely upon either at tl.e ballot box or in the tented field to serve their adopted country. TAYLOR vs. CI.AV.--In spite of all the efforts of the Albany i i Journal, which is cp- pr.scd to Mr. CLAY, the whigs of that city have called a meeting a-, the Capitol on the 3d inst.

to urge the nomination of Mr. CLAY. This i- a direct war upon Albany vhig junto. Mr. CLAY was expected at York on the 7th inst, and der-itncd to remain three was i i to" Albany, but he has declined.

We have long thought that every line of the above is true.

To show how just it is let us observe that commercial banking--that notes based only upon exchangeable valuesacti ally in the only which the laws should ever tolerate. Accommodation, alias the paper of pets and favorites, has ruined two-hundred banks in the United States, failure can be traced that as nearly every source. As connected with sound banking is another rule, to which Gallatin doubtless intends to lude, which is, that no note should be renewed. It is then impossible for a bank with capital paid in, to fail, for the bank can thus command all its capital, at no time ex ceding ninety days. There may be losses to its capital, but still, under the most ordinary man; gement it could not fail to redeem all its liabili ies.

If the Legislatures of the several States should make a bank failure, priina facie evidence of crime, the public would be swindled out of less by those who arc too lazy to work, and yet, by the device of issuing paper which cann 't be re- ariiuery j'" country at large is opposed to the measure. MR. djotingnWied traits--seems to be quite an amateur in kissing. The Philadelphia Bulletin says that he devoted a day to the reception of the Fair sex at the museum, lie to have had quite a triumph, if we may judge from the whig papers: "liouquets, rings, pencils, pens, hooks, umbrellas, walking canes, purses, and numerous other mementos, many of which were exquisite gifts, were literally showered upon him by his fair devotees; and not less than 500 pairs of pouting lips, with the innocent mouths of as many children, were offered to Mr. Clay to be kissed The old man of three score and ten bore himself with all the gallantry of his younger days, except perhaps when a pair oj olil lips (and there were a number of such instane ces) were presented.

Then it did ncern as teas not altogether generous. He did not kis- them with the same fervency as he did the ones--so, at all events, thought an "ancient 0 spinster" ol nice discrimination in these ers all the enormous grants i cosvi California, is considered decidedly obj ctionabte. "Tho archives of California, whi ii have been examined by Mr. BKNTON, in th terfimony in the Fremont case, that atx acres are deeded away, principal or altogether to British subjects. The artk which gives up the Custom-houses to the Government immediately after theexcha gebf ratifications," is also considered an unwisi provision.

For it is essential to lasting peac. to take such precautions as to secure on the port of Mexico, an adherence to her stipulation ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION wfopted by some 20,000 majority. It is a Negro matters." Mr. C. is evidently taking up a new system of tactics--of kissing himself into the Presidency.

But a time honored poet has said that these things are "too flattering sweet to be substan- decmed, seek to fasten their fangs on the shoulders of the industrious laborer.

We believe that Racint and Souihport, and Part Washington and f. heboygan have alsj obtained charters for PI nk Roads from the Lake. It is evident that the iron manufacturers are making a concerted effort to get up a panic in the Eastern and Middle States.

The immense eduction of price in England has, of course, reduced a depressing influence here, and it is aid that the iron-masters are no longer making heir usual profits. The ownera of the Mount Savage Works, in Maryland, which were pur- hased by a New York and New England Company, have concluded not to work their mills 'or the present. We also perceive that various ron Works in Pennsylvania have been closed. RAILROAD IRON, which one year ago commanded $75 and $80 per ton in New York, can now be purchased for $53--an immense decline --but this will be no disadvantage to the numerous railway enterprises which are progressing throughout the United States. During the last three years, the iron-masters bave been coining money, and iron has been sold wiu exorbitantly high.

Now, these profits are re- igt duced, seriously we admit, and the manufac- MAJOMTY FOK THK CONSTTPUTIOM.

GOVERNMENT CREDIT. The Five Million Loan has been taken.

Over four millions by Messrs. COBCORAN and of Washington, at 1.30 above par, and the balance at the rates of 1.34 to 2 per ct. above. The whole amount of bids were seventy millions. The above fact is significant.

During the last three months, the whig papers have been filled with panic articles about the depreciation of government credit. This bid of millions shows that these alarmists are not worthy of confidence. "Panic" is their vocation from the i of Gen JACKSON to the present hour.

EJECTION IN JVK HAMPSHIRE. The Granite State vo cd on Tuesday, March 11th, for Governor, Coin cil, Senate and House.

Upon the Legislature el ct devolves the choice of a United States Senafc in place of Mr. Ath- erlon, for six years from 4th of March, 1S49. In case no ticket for El. ctors of President, receives an absolute major ty of the people's votes, the Legislature will li jewise be required to choose six Electors at adjourned session in November next. The iming election is therefore one of much morne it.

turers demand some special legislation from Congress, for their benefit. Let us examine this principle; why cannot any one else who finds his business less profitable than it has been, go to Congress and demand, with the same propriety, the passage of laws which may add to his profits Is not the principle the same The truth is, this legislative interference is dangerous, and if Co.igress can interfere in the one case, it can in the other. The western agriculturists have paid an increased price for iron during the last three years, which has seriously diminished their profits. Now, when there is a change, and they are likely to obtain iron at a low price, will not feel disposed to deprive themselves those legitimate advantages which spring fron the action of the useful laws of supply and dc mand. The Mississippi Free Trader--the leading democratic journal of that State, thus rebuke the effusions of the Calhoun alarmists: "Mr Butler, of South Carolina, thinks wi ought to put an end to the Mexican war because it is so unpopular in Europe, not one power, i savs being in favor of it.

Our exchange papers are Oiled with an infinite number of speculations in relation to the debate in the U. S. Senate.

By the rules, the proceedings arc held in secret session, and therefore whatever is asserted about the position of this or that Senator, leaks out in some underhand manner. From the mass of conjectural statements before us, we consider the following as worthy of some credence. Senator BKNTON declared himself against the Treaty in its prea ent form, neither liking the unauthorized man ner in which it was negotiated by a discarded Commissioner, nor some of the provisions i relation to Mexican land grants, and our ohliga tion hereafter to protect Mexico, against India incursions on her frontiers. This might re quire a permanent increase of our army of from 5 to 10,000 troops. A correspondent of the N.

Y. Eve. Post remarks that Mr. WEBSTER is against it. This is oubtful.

It says: "No decision yet about the Treaty. It is said, owcver, that Mr. WEBSTER made a strong pecch against it. The impression generally revails that it may be ratified, but i such i list of conditions that the original instrument will hardly be recognized by the Administration, it is thought, will have to ntrust the metamorphosed document to three ommissioners, who can explain the cmenda- ior.s to the other high contracting party."
