UNITED STATES. PRESIDENT JACKSON.

This distinguished individual, has refused to assent to the Bill for re-chartering the United States Bank: The President's rejecting does not annul the bill ; it go“ back to the House 0 Congress, and may be again pass- ed by two-thirds of the whole number of members. The Message on this subject is highly spoken of; in it, the Bank charter is thus described—Rec.

The present corporate bod y, will have existed. at the time this act is intended to take effect. twenty years. It enjoys an exclusive privilege of banking under the authority of the General Government. a monopoly of its favor and support. and, as a necessary consequence. al- most a monopoly of the forei n and domestic change.— The powers. privileges, and avors bestowed upon it in the original charter, by increastng the value of the stock far above its par value. operated as a gratuity of many millions to the stockholders.

“ The act before me propoaes another gratuity to the holders of the same stoc . and in many cases to the same men, of at least seven millions more. This donations ﬁnds no apology in any uncertainty as to the effect of the act. On all hands it is concluded that its passage will increase at least twenty or thirty per cent more,the marked price of the stock. subject to the payment of the annuity of 200,000 dollars per year. secured by the act; thus adding in a moment. one fourth of its par va- lue. It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty ofour Government. More than eight milli- ons of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners. By this act the American Republic roposes virtually to make them a present of some millions of dollars. For these gratuities to foreigners, and to some of our own 0 ulent citizens, the act secures no equivalentwhatever.

hey are the certain gains of the present stock-holders, under the operation 0 thts act. after making full allow- ance for the payment of the bonus.

The Message then review the question of monopo- lies. the practice of the Bank. contingent circumstances and the ar uments ofthe friends and opposers of the system. he following are extracts from its concluding paragraphs.

“It is to be regretted that the rich. and powerful too often bend the acts ofgovernment to their selﬁsh purpo- ses. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth. cannot be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superioriudustry, economy and virtue every man is equally entitled to protection by law. Btrt when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just ad- vantages, artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratui- ties. and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer. and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society, the farmers, mechanics, and labourers. who have neither the time nor the means of securing like fa- vours to themselves. have a ri ht to complain ofthe in. justice of their Government. here are no necessary evils in Government. lts evils exist only in its abuses. lfit would confine itself to equal protection, and. as heaven does its rains, show its favours alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an un- qualiﬁed blessing. In the act before me. there seems to he a wide. and unnecessary departure from these just principles. * * *

In thus attempting to make our General Government strong we make it weak. Its true strength consists in leaving individuals and states. as much as possible. to themselves: in making itself felt. not inits power, but itt its beneﬁcence, not in its controul, but in its pro- tection '1 s a Many of our rich men have not been content with equal protection and equal beneﬁts, but have hesought us to make them richer by an act of Congress.—By attempt- ing to gratify their desires. we have. in the results of our legislation. arrayed section against section, interest against interest. and man against man. in a fearful com- motion which threatens to shake the foundation of our Union. It is time to pause in our career. to review ouv principles, and if possible. revive that devoted patriot- ism and spiritof compromise which distinguished the sages of the revolution, and the fathers of our Union. * * In the difﬁculties which surround us, and the dangers which threaten our institutions. there is causes for neither dismay nor a- larm. For relief and deliverance, let us ﬁrmly rely on that kind Providence which] am sure, watches. with pe- culiar care, over the destinies of our republrc,and knows

North Eastern Boundary-—Tbe National In- telligencer contains the proceedings of the Senate in secret sessions, relative to the North Eastern Boundary,—the injunction of secrecy having been removed. The proceedings occu- pied a part of two y-one days. The resolutions as modiﬁed previous to ﬁnal action on the sub- ject, were as follows :

Resolved, That the Senate advise the Presi- dent to communicate to the British Govern- ment that the United States decline to adopt the boundary recommended by His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, as being “ suita- ble,” between the dominions of his Britannic Majesty,and those of the United States.hecause in the opinion of the senate, the King of the Netherlands has not decided the question sub- mitted to him, tonching the Northern and North Eastern boundary of the United States.

Resolved, That the Senate advise the Presi- dent to open a new negotiation with His Bri- tannic Majesty’s Government, for the ascer- tainment of the Boundary between the posses- sions of the United States and those of the King of Great Britain, on the North Eastern frontier of the United States, according to the treaty of peace of 1783.

CHOLERA. Boston, August 11, 1832.

The escape of Boston thus far, from the Cho- lera, may probably, under Providence, be in a great degree ascribed to many persons ad- hering rigidly to a discreet diet—abstaining from whatever has a great and immediate ten- dency to increase the bile, or cause acidity in the stomach. Some few individuals may, how- ever, obey appetite more than reason, and thereby expose their own health and that of the community. There are, nevertheless, admoni- tory punishments, which may prevent greater evr s.
