The New York American, itself undis guised in its advocacy of the most odious and highhanded measures of the Federal Whig party, deals left handed blow at its Whig adjuncts of the press, who, disregard ing it's teachings and example, exhibit timidity and trepidation, in view of the popular ordeal which is at hand, in revealing to the public eye the principles and measures with which they are identified, and with which they go into the contest. The American, preferring to sink or swim with Bank, High Pro- tective Tariff, Distribution and all the kin dred measures of its party, points it's finger to the results in Tennessee and Georgia lauds the ss frankness'' with which the Whig leaders there avowed their real principles and designs-and dwells upon the Whig victories in those States as " demonstrating the growth of the good cause, and exhibiting its strength Ill quarters where 1t was supposed to pos- sess least" It asserts that the doctrines un- der which Governor Jones fought and con quered in Tennessee, are identical with those under which Governor Crawford fought and conquered in Georgia-and that those doc trines are Ca National Currency-in other words NATIONAL BANK, tariff that shall protect domestic industry, and DIS TRIBUTION of the land fund"

 What rebuke is this to the game which the Whig papers prefer to play off in this State, on the eve of an important election Here, they scarcely dare lisp the word Ma tional Bank, or even National Currency, which the American says means the same thing The leading Whig press in this State-the bell-weather of the Whig fold the press which entertains and notlong ago ex- pressed the conviction that Ca National Bank is as indispensable as National Government , and that " Congress ought to charter ne,"- dare not now open its mouth on the subject N inhictions, paternal or otherwise, can CO cree word from it, much less goad it into 's frankness" in regard to National Bank The "Bank Lark" will submit to any de- gree of castigation rather than consent to put its foot again into '' bank trap" It prefers the possom game" now as heretofore or the eve of an election-and so with the Whie press of this State generally. a

 But a Bank is not less the object of Whie aspiration and effort now than it ever has been, and ever will be. Skulk and blink the question as they will, the Democracy of tho State so understand them, and as they have heretofore, so will they again repudiate the effort, ill every and all shapes, to fasten i upon the country. .albany Argus.
