puiy isme mosi emiciuai way tor n now party. But it is very que-?tionable wiiether the Native doctrines vvill ihrive u-ell wilh a country populntinn. The party never yet hos been sucoessful out of the cities. ín this respect it is pppo$c.(l to the Liberty party which drives iliTiot nll its slrrndi from the country, and hns mnde but littlo progresa u the cilte.ï. Tlio po'i'icnl nfñiiitips of the Nntive party ally it mort clo-ely to the VVhigrs than 1o either of the o'.lior porti??.

The Whigr, bowrvpr, nre not nt nll fond of claiming relationship with the Nniives, as the new ora-anizfition is tnoiifriit to be qnte r.jurions to the interests of the Whiw pftry. Tt lakes owny public et'entioti from the Vhi issue?, and subí raéis votes more Inrgely frem than from the Demncrnti. TfIE OIIIO BAMÍS. .As th? PFüfs of the Banks of Ohio will foon cons'iltile n Inrpc porlion of our circulütinjr modiuMi, it becomes n matter of interest wilh our business men to aseertoin their actun) fourulntion. T.'io Democratie Review has on urliele rrspeclinfr them, whick l uonveys au upfayoubje impression of the ' Banking Ln w. Tlie Rnvicw says: I "The five sections of the Ohio Imv reoccipied a]iuo?t c.vclusivoiy ivith detailin? ihe nianner in which banks niay borrow of the ] people; not a word is 6a d of the mnnner in ( which the people mry borrow of the bank. - ] The first method of ifsning1 note6 is for seven banks or more to assneiate and appnint each i an ngent. These aoents as?Pinb!e al Colum bua and become incorpurnted as the 'Statp Bnnk of Ohio," each bank which sends on opent being a branch of tlie bank, and ed with the saiary and expenses of ils agent, ( wIh) i.s supposed to exercise a stipervisory erover the bnnk tfiat nppninls him, ond hc lins a vote in the bo.nrd t"or every S50.000 of ] circulation Wint the nstitution he rrprosrnt-" jmny have oufstmdinír a( ihe lime of his vote, p riie cïulïes of iliis boord fcpm ?o be cnnfined ,;, ?niirely to the preparing of notes to be issued Q y the ba nies that einploy them. When a bank rcquires notes for circulation t is required to deposite in Ohio, in United States stock or pppcio, ten per cent of thp jmonnt wit tt tho bonrd of control to V [titea pafeiy ftim'. The notes are ihensign sd by the present of the board of control, repistered and dülivéred to the bonk?, by the iffsnier of which they nre connlersigned oud 2 reno'y for circnlntion. In putting '.hom out, liowcer, the bank is required to retnin on r, liand thirty pr-r cent of 'he amotine in casli "uuds, cf v.hieli one-half f hall be epecie. - T'hcrtfore, one-half or fifreen per cent of the :ircii!ation is rrqnired to "specie funds." The " phrase is usual y npplipd to bank notes on bnnd, end t!:e amotint spldonj or never, irj the " :ourse of btisine?8, fnl!s bëlow fifteen per cent: , thtis the returns cf the New York banks shovved a circnlntion of Sl2, 365.031, and Of bank notes on hand ?3,148,LI3 or about ?ntcen per cenf, bc'wg more than the O ment of the Ohio law. There is tlien Q ;d fifteen per cent gold or si! ver to be kept on S band, yct the fifiy-fifth section provides that fj '.ight draOs" on New York, Philadelphio, Biston [or Bnliimore, sholl be "dremed gold uid eilver wherever these terms are used in nci." q Henee "gol.] and süver' can be . nred at a moincnt's notifc. PáVing out bilis , ora ''kite ' on a New York n gent wül pro ide nny amonnt of legal "gold and süver." rinis, long eenions of the law coninining fan:ied resirictioiu, are neuiniüzed by other "' ii)L sfcli.'iis fxplaiiiifjrr away the restrictioni. Cl rul ihe wlioie matter rests precisely as under Cl he old law. In plain matter of fact, an Ohio Ci ank óf $190,000 capital may issue .200,000 g( f circula! ion, by rnerely paying away part oí p ftr Ohio stocks to deposite wilh the clerk p f uil the bank- nssodated under the nnme of „ "fioord of Control." Sereral banks havo l'eady been orgauized utxler this law, and ' nle68 it te prompt ly repeirled that State wül 'J et undrrgo loases compored to which the " re of theSt. C.'uir bank will bé as nothing. M : is to be hoppd that this latter occurrence Ni II en opérate npon the citizensas to doprive Pe ie bank of the abiliry to obtniu too oxtend S 1 a cirotilulion before a repeal of the law tukes n%', lace."

Bi (tDaniel Webster lately addressed a to ublic meeting in Boston, of which the lews hos the following notice: - CvMr. Webster snid that the anly qu esion of exciting interest in our foreign fy flhtrs was that of Oregon - which he t] iscussed in a masterly manner. The ■ lexl subject of importante was of course be tariff. ileat length ca me to thegreat 31-row, the splitling up of parties. Me n rioke of the Liberty party "more in sorof ow than anger." líe asked who tho.se „] 'ere who were responsible for the annextion of Texas and spread of slavery. - a 'bey were those professing the deepesl iterest in tiie removnl of slavery, &c. - il io intelligent man but must hy.ve known T lat withholding his vote from the whig ol andidates would bring in the loco foco Bi andidale and Texas. Should he ever nl ive his voice for the constitution of a S( ew State with a provisión mafeing slavese V perpetua, he should certainlv never m ïcw his head again in Faneuil [iall. - re Grreat applnuse. ) The Wliigs seemed of cttially tothink they were becoming abvt litionists nt a cheap rate. írle addressth d members of the Liberty and Nntive th imerican associations as sympathizing ur 'ith thelr principies, and implored them , fu ) re-unite with the Whig party." ta Daniel is very shy of all innovation on ncient usages, and yct keeps out an eye ) watch the progress of public opinión. ')r : will be seen thnt he does not commitmore Slave States. He lias not a word nt say in that behalf, if they come in hy E o dozen; but he will not give "his voice IC r the Con?titution of . new State ma. ng Slavery perpetual"- ihnt s all. Such m the extent af his amislavery. Yet he ng one of the great lights of "the true Libï tv party!"
