A correspondent of the Commercial Intelligencer, of Philadelphia, writes from Washington, on the 29th ult. that "the president sees company to-morrow: He is in good health and spirits. He is indefatigably devoted to public business; and exhibits in all things the decision of character which has ever distinguished him. His venerable and hoary hair forms a strange contrast with the youthful and patriotic glow of his feelings. I differ with him on many points, and express that difference as a freeman and a democrat should; but no one who sees and speaks with Andrew Jackson, can doubt the purity and integrity of his motives." The Intelligencer is generally in the opposition. The character it gives of the president corresponds with the accounts we have received. He is in good spirits; his moral courage as great as ever. In a late conversation some one was saying, that some of the citizens of Philadelphia and New York were alarmed by the movements of the bank:" I know one man (said he in a whisper) who is not. Andrew Jackson is not alarmed.' He will do his duty." Another time, the conversation turned on the same topic:--He remarked, " that he would try to save the constitution from the dangers of the bank--his mind was made up. This palace (says he) has no charms for me. If the people will it, I will retire with pleasure to the Hermitage. But so long as I stay, I will do my duty."-Rich. Enq.
