In to-day's paper will be found an extract from the speech of Mr. McKean, in the Senate of the U. States, on the 18th inst. on the subject of petitions and remonstrances on the part of Pennsylvania respecting the removal of the deposits, and the recharter of the Bank of the United States. The opinions of Mr. McKean are entitled to much weight when they relate in any way to Pennsylvania. There is perhaps no man in that state who is more capable of forming a correct estimate of its political bearings on any question either national or otherwise.

What will the people of Hampshire think of this Francis P. Blair's receiving $8,386 for printing proposals for carrying the mail from the 20th July, 1832, to 11th October, 1832, a period of two months and twenty-two days? This editor received from the Post Office Department for this two months and twenty-two days $116 for every day his paper issued from the press. We only state the fact, and leave the people to judge or think fit as they please. The very measures however adopted by the Post Office Department to PREVENT DETECTION, have providentially led to the detection of all its base electioneering enormities. There were several individuals in this county very industriously engaged in circulating "Extra Globes" during that time. They will now see how corrupt was the source from which they emanated. However, when a man engages to do dirty work, he ought to be well paid and we think the $116 a day was not more than an equivalent for the "Extra Globe" service alone. We should like to know what sums he received from the war & state departments during the same time:
