 SIR-But for the delay in putting the Banner in operation, l should have written you sooner upon the subject of the reception and speeches of our u S. Senators. Gov. Fulton addressed the people first; much anxiety was felt by the community, not only to hear Col Sevier in his own defence against the charges of peculation and corruption as bank commissioner, but also to hear the Ex- Governor, who has so often been represented as a man of straw-the creature of party-and must acknow- ledge our anxiety, in dread forbodngs, but I, as were his political friends generally. most agreeably surprised to see him lead off in an open, manly, and dspassionate analysis of most of the leading ques- tions dividing the two great political parties of the day. He touched upon no topic, except perhaps, one, that he did not make plain, and satisfy all de- mocrats, and in this exception, presume mistake made inadvertently In discussing the removal of the deposites by Gen. Jackson, he did say, as has been charged, that there was provision in the charter of the United States Bank, authorizing the President of the United States to remove or cause to be removed the deposites under certain contin- gency. 1 am well aware, however, that his inten- ton must have been to say, that the Secretary of the Treasury, in place of the President, had that power.

 He told us of most of the important measures he had advocated and those he had felt it his duty as one of the Representations of our State to approve He arraigned MT. Clay for his hostility to the pre-emp- ton laws, Sc. Sc. Gov. Fultons language was chaste and respectful, and his manner agreeable and captivating. Such men are too often under rated. T
