LEAVE MIDDLETOWN POINT, Good for the Powder Makers. It is said, enyj the Pennsylvania! of the 2d that the whis of this vicinity will "shoot" ngahi to-day in honor of little Rhode Island a state which, a wag generally anticipated, has gone for Bank whiggery. "Rho-dey" is to have one hundred blank cartridge, the friends of the Bank being martially inclined, and being determined to make the motjof the present opportunity. One of their motive, pediaps, id to emu lite the conduct of Harrison at the time the ''m re mur" frolic.

According t. Poutam's account of his bearing that dap, he on Chestnut street wharl when a swivel was fiie4 fram a clam boat, and, wonderful to state, "his eye never blinked." Hut. at all events, this cannonade will be beneficial to the powder makers, arid, so that none burn their fingers, or gei other damaged, we have no objection to the noise, if they who pay for the powder find amusement in it. In fort, this method of showing glee is emblematic of the hopes of whigery, which makeVjuite a noise at but arc sure to cad in smoke, our opponents nevr smoking the joke until they find themselves under the cloud.

The Balloon The Penney I vanian ofTuesdjy last says: Mr. Paui-lin made a very beautiful ascension The weather was remarkably fine, and he rose very gradually, moving off in a direction. While hovering above the houses in 'that direction, he detached a parachute, in the car of which a dog was placed, and the animal came gently to the ground. The balloon was then wafted across the city in a south-eslerly direction, and the ceronaut doubtless alighted in," New.

Both Hoshos of Congress met, pursuant to it call of the President, on Monday last, and the friends of Democracy will be pleased to find that Mr. Polk, the talented Speaker of the last Con itivM, hu been again elected to that mid important trust, in despite of his opponent. After the roll had been called, and IZi members had answered to their names, The Home then proccded, on motion of Mr. Pctrikru, to the election of a Speaker. Messrs.

Hatner, McKenean, and Jone, of Virginia, were appointed tellers; and, having counted the ballots, reported the result follows Total number of votes, 221 Necessary to a choice, 113 For James Polk, UG John Bell, 103 Scattering, 5 Ho Jamei IC.

Many of the citizeus hnrc tftained heavy lontf, very little of ho proptfty hiving besn insured, Aggre At that time they contained but 000 in specie, while their notes circu lalion amounted to $9,601,000, being about $8 50 cts. of paper to $1 00 of specie. Why wonder then at the failure of the banks to fulfil their obligations.

No one certainly will deny the impossibility to pay a note of $8 50 cts. with $1 00, unless the note should be depreciated seven dollars. It is contrary to the nature of things, or of all sound philosophy, suppose that they (the Batiks) could have sustained themselves under such provided the people their stability. All that was required to make public their bankruptcy, was to set the" ball in motion and here they may be compared to an airy bubble floating upon the surface of the water, Avhich the least breath of air will burst and vanish The air being seperated from the water the eye can seethe bubble no more. In like manner has specie broken its connexion with paper, and assumed for itself its natural station.

As fiction counterfeits reality, so paper counterfeits gold and lver, to subserve the interest and 'con-veniency of a few, who have robbed the people of their liberties and ruined their governments, throughout all ages of the world. Allow me, Mr. Editor, to make one remark more, and I have done for the present. I observed in your paper the proceedings of the Democratic meeting of Upper Freehold, in which I find a re commendation or an approval of an anti-bank State Convention, of which as well as others with whom I have conversed upon the subject, most heartily approve, and hope that it will be carried into effect with as little delay as possible, as bankruptcy contemplates a Slate Convention to aid them.

Middletown-Point, Aug. 31, 1837. From the-New Orleans Advertiser. LATEST FROM TEXAS AND MEX- Py life arrival of the oner from Galveston, we learn that the i 1th the fchonner -Eliza sik days from the Alacranes, whs taken by tin Tei-tmschooner of war Brutus, ff Si-gl; wsel English cargo said to be Mexican pi oper- officer in charge report? that the squadron had sent into Matagorda two Mexican vessels loaded wiih ly Also, thai thev bad made ieseerii on the coast, horned all th yn-, (x-epl St. Clara,) from Cape Cartouche, to Sisil, and raptured several other prizes Which were destroyed or ransomed.

From the New Orleans Bee. LATE FROM TEXAS We have received the TeXas Telegraph to the 5th August.

The tepub- lic appears to be enjo)ing in full perfection the blessings of rational liberiy. The elec tions had not yet iken pi ice. The Hon. Mr. Fisher has resigned the appointment of Secretary of War, on ac- -oiint of ill health.

The steamboats Leohidas. and Branch T. Archer have arrived. boats are in tended to ply between Houston and Galves ton. Flour is selling at $30 per bbl.

Gen. Houston speaks in glowing terms of the general appearance' dr prosperity which every where met his view, on his tour lo the east. The citizensof Satr Au gustine welcomed, him in IrneAmerican styh; salutes were fired, a Sumptuous din ner given, and the festivities ot he day closed with a ball, ornamented by the elite of this beautiful and lourrshing city; Another dishonourabk? affair; has taken place at Velasco; one; of the parties was killed, the other' imprisoned. -V The Telegraph cntradicts the statement made by the Naffchez Free Trader, that Carpenters are gefting SlO day. They only get a day, and many much furloughed soldiers resumin tools trade have fully supplied the demand for mechanics.

Th farmers in Texas, however, are receiving $10 a day, and many of them more than twice this amount: farm- Jing is the profitable business oF this country. To the Editor of the Jlonmouth Democrat. In my former number I said in conclusion, that "the banking system was conceived in sin brought forth in iniquity its operatons unjust and its effects diabolical." These conclusions "were not premature, but originated from an observation of many years, together with the various authors whom 1 have had the pleasure and opportunity to consult. From life Bank of Venice down to our li0000 dollar State'Banks, their histories have I consulted, in order that I might be perfectly satisfied in relation to their operations and effects. But what would avail all this, tfidess i promulgate the results of my irrl qumes therefore, the tew followHigl remarks are presented.

Instead of spiteing our spite out upon the effects, we should endavor to trace effects to their proper sources; for you may rest auted, that so long as Hve legislate to stop effect, whilst causesjslhM exist, the proper remedy will not bye applied. Every man of common under- standing knows that effect follows cause as cerlai lv as life and death. Hence, it necessarily is our duty to search but the cause, and having found it, to apply a remedy, which will prove effectual it eradicating the evil. The cause in my opinion, that has produced the disaster-mis state to which our country has now arrived, is our present banking system One cir two circumstances will serve to place this beyond doubt. The price of wheat flour has raised during the last year, from nine to fifteen dollars per barrel formerly it could be purchased at an overage nf'ahuut six dollars.

Now. what does this prove 7 djes it prove any thing It, in my npii.io proves, that some artificial cause ha operated on the maiket. For it is a well known fact, that the wheal crops of the last year were purchased of the farmer be fore they were reaped, and these same (peculators have had the control of about ten of the Western Banks to aid them in their diabolic il schemes of spe culation Thev pay the farmt-r in their worthless Bank trash, which cost them comparatively nothing and at the time those purchases are made, these hanks will not discount or loan, order to pro duce a scarcity of money, except with the speculators, to whom they lend freely, until they (the speculators) have fully accomplished 111. ir designs, ther the banks expand to their utmost extent, for the purposes of filling the country with their irredeemable paper promises, to inflate the currency, to add to the mass of depreciated trash already in circulation, in order to raise the price of flour upon the people. Because every new emission calls for another emission, and as the paper depreciates so must the quantity be increased.

Every new emission produces a rise in prices, until its extension becomes so great, that the small foundation on which it rests, is no longer capable of sustaining it then the immense fictitious fabric topples to the ground in ruins, and we are compelled to receive its decayed and broken parts, as though it were based upon a solid and permanent foundation. Such are the facts at the North and West, and such are the operations in the South. The Exchange Committee of New Orleans have control ot an us pnn cinal banks. Thus the Committee are, by the relation in which they stand to banks, enabled to control their funds. a r.H iipnee purchases of the cotton crops are made by them before the seed hMPti sown.

Can we then mistake the causes which produced the com mercial embarrassment throughout the Union. I think not. Rut besides those speculations alrea dy spoken of, there are others of equal, if not greater mairnitude. We alao learn by the report of the Soto of our State Bantu have an actual ca pital of only 15,000 paid in, whilst the capita tock eontem elated in their charters, amounti fr'C fifty to ao hundred tbout2nd coJlcri. flU Freight carried at the usual xr ces charged hy the Packets: All Bairgage at the risk of the owners.
