The last arrival from New York brings a protest by
President JACKSON against the resolutions passed by the Senate, in which his conduct in regard to the Bank was declared to be a violation of the Constitution. This document covers nine columns of a paper as large as the Times; and is devoted principally to proving that the Senate has exceeded its powers, and invaded the province of the Executive. The excitement on the Bank question seems to augment from day to day ; and " scoundrel," " tyrant," " traitor," are the terms familiarly applied to the hero of New Orleans. At a meeting in Boston attended by ten thousand persons, very strong resolutions against the President's conduct were passed. Still the old soldier adheres to his first determination; and as long as the House of Representatives supports him, it will be a difficult matter to drive him from it.
