In addition lo the important news from China, which arrived by the Narragnnsett, and has already boen universally published, we are enabled to give twenty days later, by the same arrival, dev "TUESDAY MC dent Tyler had frankly declared in his Message, that he considerefl the people to have definitively decided against a National Bank, and avowed his adherence to the constitutional privilege of exercising the veto power; and in the former these daclaraTioMfat least, he coincided with views of the convention which had nominated him to office.

Bm what cared Mr. Clay for 'this What cared he for "the present harmony and union of a party which had not nominated him Is it true there a bill for a bank to be brought forward by the administration what cared he for a cabinet of which Mr. Webster was the head 1 No, he would not wait even regarded by the Democracy at large, and probably not less by himself, as the one great blot upon his fame. 2nd. The Amendment of the Bankrupt Law, so as to include BanVs and other Chattered Incorporations, is demanded by that clause of the Constitution which requires an ejuaijgankrupt Law a Law which shall operate equally upon aH classes and interests ttnd privilegeNnone.

In every other point of view, the Bankrupt Law, provided for in our Constitution, would hein anomaly in our republican system. It was deigned to remedy the uncqualities in the legislation sovereign States holding an intercourse wUhacli other, and to unite them in a bond of equity fcid brotherhood. That it would achieve that celebrated desideratum, a regulation of the can be no doubt, for every bank would be compelled pay specie oil demand, or be wound te, like any other bankrupt. political Correspondence. 1 The following correspondence between the Chairman and Secretaries of the Democratic Republican Convention, of the First Senatorial District, and Mr.

John A. Lott, lately nominated as Senator for the County of Kings, is respectfully submitted to the Dem 1 ocratic party, and to our fellow citizens in general. In our opinion, and we think, iivthat of every Democrat, will be admitted to be Democratic, lucid, unequivocal, and manly on both sides, and not less so on the part of our esteemed candidate, than that of his interrogators. With a magnanimous concession to the Democrats of New York County, winch is enhanced by the fact, that it is a liberal addition to previous Mr. Lott has now consented to resign his Senatorial claims in favor of the two New York candidates, iind to accept a nomination for the Assembly.

It is an act which the well wishers of the Democratic party cannot fail to appreciate, and which stands in strong contrast with the conduct of those who, under the pretext of objections', grossly factious and utterly unfounded, would recklessly afford the common enemy the advantage, difficulty and discord in our party. It is due to Mr Lott, and to truth, to state that he has received and enjoys, as he fully and richly deserves, the entil confidence of the Democracy of King's County, by whom he has been repeatedly and unanimously nominated, and the personally vindictive objections that have been extra neously made to him, are worse than frivolous, because groundless, vindictive and wantonly mischievous to the Democratic party. In favor of his demo cracv, personal integrity and high qualifications, we need not say one word, because he, like his fellow candidate, Mr. Udall, who, equally with him, partakes of these high attributes, is well known to us all.

County Nominations. It will be seen from, the 1 proceedings of the Convention at Flatbush, that John A. Lott and William M.

Udall, Esqsiiave been put in nomination by a unanimous vote of that body for members of Assembly on behalf of the Democratic party. That it is a strong ticket, the Whigs themselves concede. They are men well known lo the Democracy and tried friends of their cause and we hazard nothing in saying that a stronger selection could not have been made. Mr. Lott is presented on the part of the country interest, with which be is identified in birth and residence.

The situation which he has held as First Judge, has made him favorably however, to the wiole county. It is well known that he received the unanimous recommendation of the county convention, assembled to eleet Senatorial Delegates, for the office of Senator, the duties which office he is eminently qualified to fill. The decision of the Senatorial Convention was adverse, however, lo the claim of Kings county, and, of course, he was not put in nomination. That decision, it has been supposed by some, was in consequence of his answer, to the queries proposed by the Convention to Jhe.differ eat candidates, arid to him not baing satisfactory. That was not the fact.

The rerjly of Mr. Lott we have seen, and therofore speak from the best1 atr shority when we say that it was in entire conso nance with the views of the Democratic The oilier candidate, Mr. Udall, is als well known, having recently filled the Sheriff of the county. The large component part of the party which the city of Brooklyn forms, rendered it necessary that one of the.earidldales should be; selected from among its citizens, and Mr. udall vas chosen with that view.

To an quaintance wiih the local interests of the.city nd cuunty, he adds an ntire devotion, to.lhe demo cratic cause. With such men we cannot be otherwise than successful. Both are capable of representing the e.ounty ably and advantageously. On the question, loo, which has lately inierssled that large and respectable portion of our citizens, the Mechanics, in relation to the State Prison Monopoly, they boih nlertain opinions in favor of a reform which will prc ent a competition of the labor of convicts w'lh that of the honest mechanic, and whieh will not render the stale prinons, schools, Irom which educated felons are to he sent out to enter the shop of the workman.

We haasjlthi morning the pleasure of presehting to thecitiuisf Braoilyn, Kings County, and the country in general, a new Democratic Daily Paper. under this title.

Oar first and chief "pledge concerning it is, that to theljest of our judgment, experience, feeling and ability, it shall be strictly. Democratic zealously devoted JUheacfed preservation ot all the hue old landmarks of rheVjeffdrsonian'school, and emulously keep ing pace intelligence of the age. Opposed to chartered monopolies and special privileges, upon abstract principle as well as practical ob. servation, it will also be watchful of palirical fanaticisms, crude impracticable theories, and reckless disorganization. It will be vigilantly zealous tor equal lights both great and small, particular and general It will contend for everything that is right, and it wilf submit to nothing that i3 wrong.

That the city of Brooklyn, the second in popula tionin the State inhabifed by more than forty thousand1 persons should not possess one Democratic Journal, has long been a reproach which we have now resolved to remove. And we doubt not that, in establishing a daily morning paper, solemnly conse crated to the purest, and most Democratically Republican principles and objects, tilled with the latest general, local, literary, business, moral, political, scientific and foreign intelligence, and served, as it will be at as early an hour as any of the New York papers, we shall awaken the local and political pride ofour citizens to sustain it, with the full breadth of their patronage. For the appearance, both typographical and edito Tiajof the first number, at least, of our new daily ijjwinirig paper, we, like most of our predecessors in i diarduous effort, have to deprecate the censure and bespeak the indulgence of the public. Improvement, in every respect, will be the object of our daily assiduity. "Henry Ciy, coanse of a.

On that ca. sion, the Whig Convention, with a very large majority of itsjdelegates personally in his favor, rejected Heh'CUy, as candidate for the Presidency, the openly avowed ground that he yaspledged to a National Bank, which they knew, frohxrthe unequivocal voice of the people, to be unpopular and impracticable. They, there jjrs, upon this distiact and obvious difficulty, abmMjad General Harrison, who was known, by his past acts and declarations to be opposed to it, and who was, ia.fact, pledged to nothing except vague measures of what ks ostentatiously styled Te'form, the support of the Whig party, for supportinV hSn. for the Presidency of the United States It pursuance of this si.allow scheme of "expedianct, thev also nominated John Tvler for the Vice Jresidency a man whom they well knew to betes firm as the nether mill stone, in his hostility to fiie bank who had openly denounced and resisted It in every manner and on every occasion that opportunity offered, and who, therefore, if nominatedby a Whig National Convention, would form 'atf excellent stalking horse, over which to obtaiii a.

Became manifest to all and undeniable any. So profound was their infatuatiojjhait ihey totally disregarded even the mathematical chances of human longevity which were in favor of Mr. Tyler's succession to the presidential the term for which Gsneral Harrison was elected. They not only unwarrantably calculated upon General Harrison's passive sanction of a United States Bank, in the face ot all his western speeches, which showedhim to be at least very shrewdly non committal upon the question, but they were also blissfully oblivious to the startling possibility that he was a mortal man, and that a man, about whose antirbank opinions there really was and ceftlld be no doubt, might succeed him by an intervention of providence. They were supinely content to take less care of their parly, their inestimable Bank, and their idolized Henry Clay, than they would of a bai of goods exposed to the dangers of miscarriage, or a grocers stock in trade liable to be destroyed by a conflagration, and which ordinary prudence protects at an insurance office.

ut this is not all it is but a faint adumbration, a mere shadowy outline of the deeper darkness of their woful fatuity with regard to other, ulterior consequences of their crude and temporizing expediency. "They seem actually to have supposed that they could cajole the people into a union in theiE'behalfupon one set of principles or rather upon the negation of all and then permanently keeplhem together upon another set, and, among rest, upon the most debateable and difficult question of all upon that great bone of tion, a national bank, the very measure which 1 i 1 and public prists, as perilous and impracticable, they bad rejected iienry uiay tor being committed to. and so notoriously espousing.

Sir Le Fleming Senhouse, who commanded the naval forces in the absence of Sir George Bremert died at Hong Kong on the 14th June, and was buried at Macao, at his own request, in preference to the former place.

The recent elections have developed few of the preliminary consequences. In attempting to head Captain Tyler," Mr. Clay has ingeniously succeeded in "heading" the whole whig In the meantime the great Democratic party of this Republic stands where it has ever stood the true exponent and representative of the opinions and wishes of the maioritv of the American peo ple, when fairly obtained and unequivocally expressed. Since its organization under Thomas Jefferson, it never has been, and it never will bo, defeated into a minority, while firmly adhering and doing justice to its principles and while those of its opponents are as frankly and fairly revealed. If, as in.

tho htst great contest, the whole party ol its opponents, from its national convention down to its primary meetings and its authentic organs, concur in presenting a false issue to the people agree to deny its own faith, measures and resort to a scheme of universal fraud, moral, political and personal the people may again be deceived, and the Democratic patty again defeated. But the recurrence of such an event, after the glaring and atrocious example which has lately been presented, must be fqr distant in futurity. It is not remotely probable that the people will again submit to so severe reproach to their discernment, their intelligence and their patriotism. The Democratic party have only to be true to themselves, to regainand maintain a glorious ascendancy and career of usefulness. With such an issue as the Whig party have now made for the next Presidential and the intervening elections Henry Clay, a National Bank, amd a Chanoe or the Constitution" the tv.mocracy may and will merrily advance through a saccession oi happy victories.

That the Whigs are in an worse plight now than they were prior to the late elec tion, or at any previous period of their history, is scarcely denied, even by themselves, ana is suni ciently evident to all the world. That their position should make them desperate, so desperate as even to propose a radical change in one of the three co ordinate branches of the government established by the Constitntion a Constitution whch, as our wise and patriotic fathers left it, they find to be an "obstacle to their purposes is less remarkable than characteristic end illustrative: This, newly' dtsclosed object of the hig party, fully and broadly confessed and proclaimed as it has latzly been, in all their speeches, addresses, resolutions, and journals, now stands on a mountain height, filling the, hemisphere with its lurid fires, a warning beacon to the? American people, from Maine to Florida, anff from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains. Two Eriinary Objects of. Dcmocracj'. It mnst be evident to all reflecting minilsj that the party, duriDg the lime that will intervene between this period and that ot the next election, should direct their utmost efforts to obtain such a majority in Cungress as shall assuredly secure the two following magnificent objects, namely First, The Repeal, or Honest and Constitutional Amendment of the LandDistribution Bill and Seocnd, The Amendment of the Bankrupt Law, so as to cause it to include Banks and other Chartered Incorporations.

1st. The Repeal or honest and Constitutional amendment of the Land Distribution Bill. It appears to us that the entire repeal of this bill, which would place thj revenues derived Irom the public lands precisely where they were before, is even less desirable and constitutional than a permanently useful and nationally advantageous appro priation of them in another way. It is true that, to leave them to be applied as they will now certainly be, unless the law be altered or repleaded, is virtually an assumption by the General Government of the of the States, for they can now be appropriated ns the States respectively shall think, and we all well know how this will be the benefit of embarrassed speculators and political gamblers, in one form or another. To leave them to be used by the Government, as a course of revenue, as they were bifore, seems less in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution, which requires, upon the wisest principles, that the whole of public revenues shall be derived directly from the people, in order that they may the belter control the expenditure through heir representatives in Congress, than the appropriation of them by Congress in some specific and well defined manner.

The original deeds of cession for ths public lands of Virginia, suggest a noble and permanently useful hint upon this difficult question, which seems to cat the Gordion Knot, and to make an almost irresistible appeal to every purely good, widely enlightened, and deeply patriotic mind. Those deeds of cession provided that, after the immediate purposes for which the lands of Virginia were ceded, had been accomplished, they should be apprepriated by Congress for the single purpose of public education for the education, not of the people of Virginia merely, nor of any other pailicular State or States, but of the people of the republic universally. When we reflect how much the intelleclual and moral superiority of one mind over another de pends upon education, and that the aggregate superiority of a nation depends upon the superiority of its component individuals, it is difficult to conceive a more exalted object for the application of the proceeds of all the public lands. It would be the erection of a tower ol national greatness, which could fall only with the existence of our people with that of the human race, to whom, universally, it would bean incalculable blessing and imperishable dignity. That the President would veto such an amendment of the land bill, is not now to supposed.

His struggles concerning a third veto, and his well knqwn wishes upon the subject, attest the contrary. His signature to that bill, is to it into the Legislature, of Herkimer County, providing lor an 'amendment of ine.oiate vonsuiuuou, ao uiiit jiu iuw uumunzing ujk borrowing of money or the issuing of State Stock, whereby a State debt may be created, shall take effect until the same shall have been sabinitted to and approved by the People 4th.

Your obedient servants, JAMES ZEISS, Chairman of the Convention. Israel C. Dissoswav, Secretaries Hexry Nicoll, To Jrmn A IitrriTtq Brooklyn, October Utli, 1841. Gestixmen, Your favour of the 11th instant, ap prising me that my name had been put in nomination before the Democratic Republican Convention, as a suitable poreon for selection as a Candidate for State Senator, Irom the first Senatorial District, and proposing, under the direction oi that body, certain interrogatories, was received yesterday. In answer to which, I will briefly state my views on the various subjects of enquiry.

It should, in my opinion, be the object of legislation to promote the general good, secure equal rights to all, and avoid a grant of special privileges upon any body or class of individuals; lam, therefore, opposed to the creation of monopolies of any kind. i. I had the honor express my views to the Demfrj cratic Senatorial Convention, of 1839, on various questions of public interest. I then stated that I was opposed to the incorporation of Banks, to the renewal or extension of those in existence, and tc granting them any additional privileges, as inconsistent with the objects and principles of the General Banking Law I have seen no reason since to change my sentiments on the subject, but on the contrary, am more confirmed in them. General laws, authorizing voluntary associations as well for banking as lor all other legitimate purposes, are more coneenial to the Democratic spirit of our in stitutions than special enactments and I am in favor ot them whenever the object sought can be attained under them.

There appear to be certain cases, how ever, of a public character, such as the making of Turnpike Roads, Railroads, Bridges, uud the like improvements which cannot be provided for under such general laws. Such works can only be authorized when the public good requires them, and the Legislature is the only tribunal to judge of the necessity. In such cases, therefore, Ugislation, general in its great designs and objects, yet to a certain extent special seems una voidable, but should be permitted only to subserve and advance the public interests, and not the private aain or emoluments of individuals or associations. If, however, such works can be prosecuted under general laws, I should be opposed to special legislation on the subject. It is of essential importance that our State creclit should be unimpaired by acts ol improvident legisla tion.

Our experience has fullv proved to us that there ia not at present a sufficient check and safe guard in our State against the imprudent creation of State debts. I am, therefore, in favour of the resolution inlro. duced into the legislature at its last session, by Mr. Loomis, of Herkimer County, providing, as stated bv vou, for the amendment of our State Constitution. so that no law authorizing the.

borrowing of money or tne issuing oi ocate qiocks, wiicreBy a state debt may be created, shall take effect until the same shall be submitted to and approved by the people," except wnere it may become necessary tor carrying ou t(ie wheels of government. The necessity of such a case would notjustify delay, and it is probably not intended to be included within the operation of that resolution. Another topic alluded to in your interrogatories re mains to be noticed. I refer to our present State Prison System. Underit the convicts are mostly engaged in mechanical pursuits, and the products of their labour, as it is senerallv understood, are put into the market at prices considerably below those produced by tjio efforts of hone3t industry.

The tendency, therefore is to interfere with the Mechanics of this State in their regular business, and compel them to compete with a class of mun whom the laws have secluded irom society. This appears to me to be gross injustice to a body of our most useful, enterprising and vuluable citizens, and ought to be remedied. I am, therefore, in favor of such an alteration of our State Prison System as will effectually prevent convict labour from being brought ittto competition with that of the Mechanics' of this State, and the teaching of mechanical trades in our State Prison. I have thus attempted to give a full and explicit answer to the interrogatories of a public nature, and will only add, that it I should be elected by the suffrages of my fellow citizens to the office of State will not feel myself at liberty to decline the honor conferred, but will servo them to the best of my ability. I have the honour lo remain, Your obedient servant, JOHN A.
