WHIG PRINCIPLES. " I have never been able to learn what the 'settled and leading principles' of the Whigs are." Senator Horrii "Scathing Letter." The author of the above sentiment, is referrod to the following article for information which he may probably, deem valuable. It is a reply of the Missouri Republican, to the quostion asked by a Locofoco opponent as contained in the first paragraph and a manly answer it is. It is worthy of remark, that what are Whig princi-ciples in Missouri, are Whig principles in Ohio, and in the farthest township in Maine. They were Whig principles in '28 they are Whig principles in '38 and we deem them eternal and unalterable. " This is true Democratic doctrine. Will the Fede ralists como out like men, and avow their views principle! they have none. They will not they dare not! "Mtuourt Jlrgut. There you are mistaken, sir! With the sword of truth, and the buckler of a righteous cause, we come firth nt vnur challenro. to Proclaim the principles, not of Federalist), as you are pleased to term us, but of Whios, who, like the Whirrs ol '7b, did battle for their country. We have principles, and dare to avow them; perfectly willing that our principles and yours should go wilh each other into the hands of every man in this or any other State. You have dared us to avow onr principles; we dare you to publish this article in your paper, in connection with yours from which the above extract is taken. But the challenge will not be answered, for it would not suit your last avowed, but leading principle, TO KEEP THE PEOPLE IN ignokanue. Our principles, then, are To stahd bv the Constitution, with a firmness and determination which time cannot diminish, adver sity shake, or the possession of power corrupt: To LABOR FOR THE oooo or THE WHOLE COUN TRY, without regard to the claims of party, the interests of sections, or the elevation of any man, how ever distinguished: Tu OPPOSE, TO THE BITTER END, THE CONCENTRA TION or power IN the Lxecutive hand, as foreign to the genius, and destructive to the happiness, wel- tare, and glory ol the Kepumic: To combat before the People, on all occasions, and in all places, the arts of the demagogue, who would pervert their honest confidence to his own vile pur poses ot personal advancement oremolument: TO BRm A PH'IAH wmmm Wli ',". - 1 m tui farthest hamlet on the frontier, til light of that knowledge of the benign institutions of our country, which ib mid - .Ku. the machinations of the desperate triflers with the country's welfare, with whom we are unfortunately deeply cursed: To STRIKE AT THE ROOT or ALL CORRUPTION IN the Government, judicial, legislative, or executive; and turn not back Irom our work until uteir nnai ex termination is complete: To heed, at all times, the voice or THE PEO PLE ; particularly when, in tones ol entreaty, tt erset to the Government of itt creation for relief from galling distrust and to declare open, unrelenting warfare urninat that Administration, which shall return to those cries the heartless answtr, that " ALL COM MUNITIES ARE APT TO LOOK TO GOV ERNMENT FOR TOO MUCH." To denounce, as disgraceful to an American citizen. and destructive of American and human liberty, all armralt to the bad feelmin of our nature. To enrsa him. as an enemv to his country and hi kind, who would leek to array the poor against the rich. and establish on the ruins of the greatest Republio of past or present time, the desperate anarchy of an Jtgrt rian ttislem I To resist all experiment! on the imtitutiont of the country, whether governmental or nscai, as tending, with fatal certainty, to the perversion of the former, the derangement of the latter, and through these to the detriment and unhappiness of the people: 7b force all officers of the Government to the conviction that they are Me servants of the People, not their masters: To tramplo under foot the odious doctrine that the offices and emoluments of the oountry are "the tpoilt of tittorv" to any political party: To deprecate all interference in elections by those who have boon placed in office, at tending to perpetu ate their power i 7b cornrue the Contlilulion on thai liberal Kale which will give its beneficent provisions the widest scope of operation, without going to a laliluilinous and dangerous extreme: To foster and cherish the Industry and manufactures or our own country: To carry on a svBtem of Internal Improvements, by the General Government, at clearly implied in the Oin-ttilution, and the itrongett, matt enduring cement of the cVnion t To ettublith a National Bank, on sound principles, in order that the people may have a currency uniform in value, and sufficient to their wants: Finally, ta atrivo, nipaalnly, tn MlnvntM amil "! ble our native land, that her sons, in whatever part of the world they go, may find it alike an honor and a protection to sny " I am an American Citizen!" Such, sir, are the principle wo avow. Again, we dart you to publish them in your paper. If they are the principles of Federalists, then are we Federalists, through life and death; for by them we will live and die. A PREGNANT IMPEACHMENT. The Maditonian, at the close of the first year of its existence, announces the determination of the Editor to continue his labors, and to oppose the Administration; and specifies many of the causes which have induced this hostility. Were Mr. Van Duron's name not given as the author of all these wrongs, it would be a dullard, Indeed, who would not instinctively turn towards tlrut functionary, and address unto him the words of Nathan to David "Thou art the man"! It is an incontrovertible truth, that every prominent art of litis administration has been an open, unequivocal violation of every principle and profession upon which Mr. Van Duren was elevated to the Chif Magistracy by the People. In his upholding the specie circular, which made j: .1 : ' j 1. 1 I. ; - L 1 I UIBCiimilMIIUIin uuau.iioiiaou uy law, uu wmoii uau been twice condemned bv Congress; In his recommending the Sub-Treasury scheme, contemplating a union of the purse and the sword, and the subversion 01 the enure practice oLtne government, and still persisting in it, notwithstanding it has been four times condemned by the Representatives of th People; In his recommendation of a Bankrupt law to b passed by Congress, applicable only to corporations, so that this government should possess an absolute control overall the State institutions, and be able to crush them all, at pleasure; and taking all jurisdiction over them from the hands of the State tribunals; In his breaking faith with the States, by rccommen- ing a repeal of the distribution law; In his repeated recommendations of the issue of Treasury notes, to supply the place of legal money, recurring thus to the exploded and ruinous practice ot depreciated government paper money, for a circulating medium; thus exercising a power derived only from a loose construction 01 me constitution, and repudiated by the best Republican authorities; In his attempt to establish a Treasury Bank with an irredeemable paper money circulation; In his effort to overthrow the State Bank Deposits system established by President JackBon, and take the puuiio moneys iniu hib actum cuoiuuy aim couiruif In his attempt to divorce the government from the interests and sympathies of the people; In his attempt to create a "multitude of new offices, and to send swarms of officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance;" In his attempt to "take away our charters, abolish our most valuable laws, and alter fundamentally the powers of our governments;" In his display ot personal partiality; In his cold indifference to the interests and wants of the people during a period of extreme suffering; In his attempt to throw discredit upon, and eventually, to crush the State banks, through the revenue power of the government, and embarrass the resumption of specie payment; In permitting the patronage of his office to come in conflict with the freedom of elections; In his open contempt of the will of the people as expressed through the ballot-box; In his attempt to cram obnoxious measures down the throats of dissenting brethren by means unbecoming a magnanimous Chief Magistrate; in hib roiusai to actuiuocu 111 uib ueuiaions ot MO majority; and In the despotic attempt of his partisans in the U.

Ue has abandoned the principles by which he came into power, and consequently, the duty which they prescribed; and he has so obstinately persevered in his erroneous course as to preclude all reasonable hope of ins retracing tl. And finally, to this long catalogue of grievances. we may add, what may be considered a minor offence, but certainly a very obnoxious one, that contrary to all pre-conceived opinions of his character, Mr. Van Duren has rendered himself the most inaccessible, both to friends and adversaries, of all the Chief Magistrates that ever filled his station. And lrom all these considerations, to what conclu sion can the nation come, but that their Chief Magis- tate is either wanting in integrity, or wanting in capa city! We need not say that we expected different thinrs ofapublio servant, bound by his sacred pledges, to regard the national will as the supreme law of the Republic, that blind lnlatuatton which has heeded not this rule of the American people, must and outfit to meet its reward and sink in indiscriminate and everlasting overthrow. The Madisonian will continue to be published three times a week during the sitting of Congress, and twice a week during the recess, at 93 per annum, payable, invariably, in advance.

Correspondence of Ills Baltimore Patriot. Wabumotoh, June 30, 1838. ANOTHER SUB-TREASURY BILL. The 'topic and llieir Rcpretcnlativct intuited. Tho Senate to-day, by a majority of five, ordered to iiiuu luauiiig, a uiounure, which, II it coum DO carrieu into practicni enect, woutu fasten on the country, a auo-ireaiury Dciieme infinitely worse than thnt which was proposed in the bills that hnvebecn condemned and rejected. This is nothing more nor lets than a proposition to ropcul all that portion of the Deposito Act. which authorizos the uso of banks as depositories of the oovernment, and to place the whole public Treasure nt the mercv, and in the keeping of the Executive. Mr. Wright brought it forward, and induced his party to support him in appending: it to a Bill which he in troduced fur removing the interdict as to the receipt of notes ot Danss wnicn nave issuod bins ol a denomination less than five dollars. Mr. Wright tint asked leave to introduce his bill, tak ing on tne five uotiar Restriction. The question being put on granting leave. Mr. Web ster rose and remnrked, that so far as he could gather trom the title, the main purpose ol the bill was tho same as that at which he aimed in the bill he hod introduced: but which the Bonnie had thought proper to overlay, bv adopting as a substitute, another proposition of a character entirely different, and designed for entirely different purposes. Ho did not eamplain of the treatment his measure had received. The Senate treated Mr. Bu chanan's no better indeed somewhat worse. They took the child of the Senator from Massachusetts out of the cradle, ane placed there the progeny of the Sen ator irom Pennsylvania, and men sunk cradle, chihl and nil. The obiectof Mr. Webster's Bill wastoromove cer tain unjust and injurious disqualifications from- the hanks,' and to effect all the good which was designed by the Resolution repealing the Specie Circular. It was of course, in the powerof the Senate to modify that bill, so as to make it more acceptable to the majority; and there was no necessity therefore for Mr. Wright's Presenting a now proposition. However, Mr. W. said, e was aware that there is some little pride of author- WKSn'fe'fhirii'iTIVi "JlSXM. IfiiuShTIf rather a small jealousy i but it was natural the gentleman should be solicitous to hold on to the reigns of Kower as long as they possibly eould. for himsell lie ad no feoling at all on the subject; and if he found that the meaaure now to be introduced would substan tially effect his object, he would give it hts cordial support, notwithstanding the mode of ils introduction. Aimougn tne senate naa cnoson to overlay nis dim, Mr. Webster proceeded to sny, he had on taking a retrospect of the session, abundant cause for gratulation. A new Adininiatration, with a new Congress, and with ill the sdvanlaires rosulnni Irom the unbounded popu- aritv of the late Eiecutivo had iuat begun. The lirsl message proclaims new doctrines, and recommends new measures: doctrines erroneous and illusory, as the mea sures would be pernicious in practice. They have been condemned and defeated by the representatives of the people. The Bub- Treasury has been rejected witn the Specie Clause without the Specie Clause and un der the disguise of a Special Deposits System. These new meaaures have met their tale out ol doors, at the ballot boxes. The honor of the victory belonged to the people themselves. Yet Congress, he said, have done something Th have rescinded the Treasury Circular; and atthougl the objects of the abolition are not so sxlenaive as could be wished, yet the recisston ilscii was a great good. Congress have also done another thing much better than that excellent indeed for which the country from Maine to (jeorffia, thence to new (Jrleans and so on to Missouri to Mississippi and back to the Atlantic, will give joylul thanks as tors measure lull ol mercy and good fruils Tucv have aorub to adjourn t The people have of late bocomo s prey to Congress they havo been kept in a perpetual slate of alarm, uncertainty, anxiety, and perplexity, by the apirit of chango and innovation manifested hero. When Congress adjournwhen the servants of the people disperse, and set tnetr laces lo wards noma, mors ougiu to uo, ana will be. clanoina ol hands lunov. Mr. Wobster concluded by declaring lhat while here. he would concur in any thing that could be done fur ihe relief or convenience of iho oountry, from whatever quar- lor the proposition might come. Mr. Webstar made no oimositien to tne nut oi mr, Wriirht! But sfior it was introduced and read, ha call ed aueniion to the fact that it only affected the receipt of the notes ol those banks which have tnuea puis ol less denomination than ii. It said nothing ol authorising Ihe Secretary lo use such banks as depositories! bul left them totally disqualified in thai respect: So thai under ils onoroiion. we have deposits bsnks in ono quarter of lha Union, and none in ihs others. Mr. Webster contended lhat this interdict ought to be taken olf; snd ell the banks nul on the same touting. He accordinglv offored an amendment, as a 2d. section, to suspend sii mucn ot tne sJ eposne aci, bb proiuuito iuubo uanKe, which have issued notes of s less denomination than f rilllll bUllIU I.1..UA M AvL-waA.-.lM. wV .I.v. ney. This proposition save rise to a lone; and animated dii cussion, in which the hostility of ihe party to.lho banks, was most strikingly maniteateu. As soon as Mr. Rives finished, Mr. Wright rose, and said, that bv Ihe advice of some friends, hs would offer a proposition for the repeal of the first twelve sections ol the Deposits Act an wnicn roier to tne uaeol rjsnKi as dcposiiorics. He presented It as a substitute for Mr, Webster's amendment. Well, (exclaimod Mr. Webster, when he heard this extraordinary proaition announced,) lhat is manly si anv rate. We know whereto find gentlemen. Mr. Clay then took tho floor, and spoke with great apirit and force. The proposition, he said, came out boldly and without ditgmso, and places the whole Treasury at the discretion of the Eiecutivo lo be kept by Ihs Executive wlthoul Iho slightest control or restrain! of law. It is another link of the Sub-Treasury System 1 Mr. Clay defended the banks In issuing small notes They had done no more than waa torced upon them : they veilded to the necessities of ihs limes: ond lis main tained, that ths proper course to be pursued towards them was lo remove all these restrictions, until the banks could again obtain the confidence of the country! and after thai had been accomplished, then was Iho tuno to renew their enoris lor enlarging mo specie circulation. He rejoiced howovor, thnt this tnessure had been brought forward. Tho decision upon it would show Ihe country who wero the men ready tn surrender Ihi Fuass lo lha unlimited control of the Eiecutivo. Mr. Benlon then rose! snd declared there was not Ihe slightest use for continuing lo Ihe Secretary th authority to use ths banks ss depoailories becnuae Ihe Government had in reality no money lo depoaits in them. This was the nutnougger'a argumsul lor inr Wright's proposition! Mr. Criimndon spoka briefly, bul with Brest anima- lion against ihs measure He was sharp and short. Would that some a thoussnd degrees his inferior in every respect, would intimate his example) andnotboro us with long speeches when Ihe thormometer is at 95 degrees! Mi. iallmadgo, Mr. Rives and Mr. Clay, successive-r commented with eloquence and impressiveness on re slfsct of the measure: but their voices were rai. aed in vain. Aset a long debate, tho Question wasnut on the adon- tion of Mr. Wright's proposition as a substitute for Mr. wcastei'S, and curried in the affirmative. Yjias. Messrs. Allen, Bentom Brown. Buchanan.

THE NEW SUB-TREASURY BILL, 'lis Seneto totav Passed that disgraceful and nrlinna Bi, introduced by Mr. Silas Wright, repealing all law inrcference to-the safe keeping of the publio money; sni surrendering Ihe Treasury tulhe Presideut,wiiliout contrator limitation. Well, tot the Experimenters trample where they pos sess a tomnoriry ascenduncy. The people's Irue Representatives will throw back upon them the wretched expedient wilh a decision and promptitude, by no means Vliuuu, aging u, uib rupiHIMOU Ul HUB llUgrBlll inBUIl. w neu tno question was put on tho mini passage ot the Bill, Mr. Webster rose and remarked that thorn was no time now fur discussion, but he wished to impress on the Senate and the Country, the ronl stato of Iho law, and Iho condition of matters, if this moasure should pass. in the Ii rat place, tho notes ot no bank shall be received which have issued notes of a denomination leas than five dollars. This prohibition will exclude the notes of slmost oil the banks in the North. ' In the second place, no bank note ehall be received which is itscii under, the denomination ol twenty dollars. This has been prevented by tho new Treasury Circular. Mr. Wobster brought forward a proposition to obviate this svil ; and it is one of a very serious character; for how can a man mako payment el the Post Offico, if he is not to offer notes under twnnty dollars. The inconvenience at the Land Office will be found still gretterand will fall wilh particularly heavy weight on tho purchascr of the forty acre tracts. Thirdly. The reception and custody of the public money, will bo exclusively in the hands of the Treasurer, as it was after the removal of the Depositee, before the passage of ttie Deposite Acl. And as it is the well known doctrine of the party,that all officers are dependent solely on the Executive, and removable at his pleasure, it follows thnt the proceedings of tho Treasurer will be exactly as the President muy direct. All security for the public purse, and all restraint on the Executive, are repealed whenever this proposition is adopted. But,-said Mr. Webstor, Ihe collectors now make use of the banks, snd he believed they would continue to use them. When they pay overthe money they receive to the Treasury, they will place it in bankf for whero else can it be put? It will be kept in Stale Banks as before, wilh the alteration only, there will be no limitation or restriction on the custody. This, Ihen, is the end to which the Administration has srrived in its progress of Divorce 1 All their noble purposes their aealous perseverance in laboring to accomplish a Divorce, havo terminated in retaining ihe banks as depositories of the public money. Mr. Preston followed with a most powerful and eloquent speech. Should the Bill pass, he said, we would be brought to the condition of things in 1834. Mr. Pres ton came into the oenate at that session the celcbrsied italic &im as the party have delighted to coll it when the Executive had by a daring and audacious act, seized on Iho Public treasure. Alier five years struggling, we are now to be placed in the same stste, Willi this great aggravation, thai Congress now goes and lays down at ths feet of tho Executive, what at lhat day ins unscrupulous boldness of Andrew Jackson, had prompted him to soize upon! To this has the Senate come, lief that ihe measure would not be sdopted by the House of Representatives. He hsd no doubt the patriotic sup port way ubu bv gloriously BAiiiuueu, wouiu coniinne to snrmste tnem: and tnat, as the crowning glory ol the victory wnicn nsa given sucn general joy, Iboy would put their aeal of reprobation on the bill. . The debate was continued by Messrs. Sirangs and Benton insupport of ihe bill, and Messrs. Smith of Ind. and Talhnadge, in opposition. 1 ne cries being loud lor Ihs "question," Mr. Calhoun who hsd hitherto taken no part in the discussion, snd, win though in the Senate a few moments before the vole wasinken on Saturday, was absent whon hie name was called, rose lo explain hia policy. After declaring hov unpleasant it was to differ trom those with whom he acted, and how much he rogretted that anothor ques-lioa was presented on wliieh. sleo, he wna obliged lo differ from them, he proceeded to say lhat if the bill really restored the set of 17(19, which was intended (as he alliged) to establish a constitutional treasury, he would ;o lur a with all his heart. IJut that was not lis eltect. I gave every thing lo Iho Executive! It threw on thai officer indeed the power to reatore the Slate Bonk sys tem.- itwaa-a mgn respousiuiiii'! ana ii tne rresiuent would do the former, he, (Mr. Calhoun) would not de sert him. But if the Stale Bank system should berestored,-he would give il his decided opposition. He did not know Ihe intentions ot the r.xecutive. nor those of hitfriends hero; but he hoped the Presidont would act like a man, and break down all connection between the government and the banks. 1 lie question was men taacn ana earrica in ins alhr- mnitve.

Ths House of Representatives, to-day, returned on the hands of Mr, Silss Wright, and his Loco-Foco sssocisies, their bill, with the section struck out that proposed lo abrogate all law, and give overthe public treasure to the custody of the Eiecutive. Thus have the People's Representatives again, in the moat unequivocal manner, declared their determination to have nothing lo do wilh the Sub-Treasury system, in sny shape or form. Tina bill was announced yesterday by Iho speaker, among die bills trom Ihe senate. J t waa read twice, aa l- akvnA-,, . V -... j lf A -H - t-A- ! tuned up. Cambrelong obtained the floor, and said he would not propoaea reierenco oi tne bill to the Committee of Ways ana .uenne; oecause, malign ne wouia wish to add some provisions, there was now no time for discus sion. 1 he provisions, ne continued, are simple, snd ihe object so beneficial, that he thought no reasonable objection could be taken lo the question in any quarter ( ! !) me nonorauie vnanceuur 01 uie cxencquer was uere interrupted by a hearty and goneral chorus of loud laughter, expressivs of Iho House's enjoyment of his rare impudence.He grew indignant al so sudden sn explosion of mirth, and duclarod with heal, that gentlemen might laugh but so Ihsy bad been laughing for ton months al a hill which nol more than one in Ion ot them had ever road I This ebullition had an effect exactly the onnosilo of a sedative.

When it eeaaed, Cambrelenir was heard con tending that ihe section proposed lo be repealed, prohibited any of Ihe banks from being used ss depositories; and thai the inhibition waa porpolual on Ihe Secrelary, Moreover, ihe Sub-Treasury scheme was established bv ., - i, ... I !. i I .i . i- ' Ilia IM'pueilo aci, ui-cnun 11 piaceu ins pUDIIO mohoy directly in the hands of Ihe Treaaurcr. Ysl, in Ihe same bronlh in which he made theae slalo-ments, he declared that llie Deposite Acl was a nullity, and had repealed itself. He finally capped the climax of his bold and absurd assertions, by saying that the Sub-Treasury was the iimngeat measure before the country. Mr. Aleniles commented wilh remarkable spirit snd forco on ihia extraordinary speech nf the Exocutire or-gin in the House. The mistakes of Cambreleng respecting financial laws, were as conspicuous aa his blunders shout the finances of the country. If, said he, lha Deposito Act oporates aa a perpetual prohibition against the employment of banks that have suspended apecia pavments, why do you wish to repeal It T If it be a riiillitv, why repeal itt In that case, ll should be effectually extsrminsted, without consuming our precious tims on fuitber action. But, Mr. Momlos argued, that such a statement Was an utter: perversion of mo ibci; ana ne quoted trom the Isle report ot Mr. Wright in answer tor Webster's rniiohitinn of inmiirv. to show that the Chairman of the Senate's Committee of finance had come to conclusions exactly the reverie ot Cainbreleng's; and sol forth that it was in ihe competency of the Secretary to employ certain banks as depositories. This opinion Mr. Wright expressed after a careful survey of the whole Act, and (added Mr. Menifee, turning directly to Cambreleng,) how much sooner your opinion may transcend your financial brother's in the oilier House, it must be admitted you are at issue. There- is a difference in tho Camp of Israel. Mr", tegare of S. C. opposed the bill in a short, rapid, and energetic speech. Here, he said, you propose to sacrifice in an instant your whole financial system without debate without deliberation without examination and under the pressure of the Previous Question. (yusnman, the ieavmM,-had tried several tunes' lo get ihe floor, for the purpose of applying his axe.) It was so great sn innovation,-(continued Mr. Legare) thai one of my colleague in another branch' of Congress blenched before it, (lie alluded to Mr. Calhoun) : that gontleman opposed it because of the tremendous accession to Eiecutivo patronage and power which it made " because it went to build up a system ol DiscTetion'Whlch wouiu control men, and never could be controlled by men. He referred to a casual remark from Cambreleng, a-bout the issue bemg between a National Bank and a Sub-Treasury! He denied it. The true issue was bo- iwueu . J ilu, llmK.,1 Kiann. to bo trovcrncd by commercial men, with retereneo lo the wants and convenience of the commanity.and anolhur Bank, to bo govorncd by the Secretary of the Treasury and hrs fel low politicians! That is the issue. Sir, 1 am not to be frightened by any painted- devil the gentleman may exhibit. I am not afraid of being charaed with covort in tentions to establish a National Bankf but I here say, 1 am more against this bill than such an institution. Mr. Legare eoncludcd with a motion to refer tho bill to the Committee en Ways and Menns. Mr. Wise said hs had remained at his post till he saw the Sub-Treasury dead, and, as he thought, consigned to tho tomb forevor. But he had suddenly received a summons, whilo in a neighboring place, calling him back to lay again tne gnost ui mat luminous measure, which had boon raised asifbythe wandof the tVitchof Endor. Ho commented sharply on lire inconsistent and absurd remarks of Cambreleng. If (as Cambreleng alleged) tho Deposito Act established the Sub-Treasury, why was that measure agau. introduced I Did the " Chan cellor" think the members of the opposition so young snd ignorant, ss nol to know that line proposition is a cat in the moan The supporters of tho Sub-Treasury. Cambreleng had said, were stronger than their opponents. Ave. ssid Mr. wise, ana why I why are you strongest i Ifecause you hsve the power and the discretion! and the patronage. .... - ... . - - - r. you now propose to enlarge. You have ihe strength of one man against the many. You are strongest only ss the cxecutivo is stronger than the reopiei Mr. Wise said he would accept the issue Cambreleng E resented. He was for a National Bank which would ei hand of the law, lo keep and guard-the publie treasure. The issuo was between such an institution, and placing tho public treasurs in the hands of the Executive, lie was ready to take his position ot once for tho hand of the law. When Mr. Wise set down, thore was great competition for the floor. Cushman of New Hampshire, obtained it, and demanded the Previous question. The call was not sustained. As soon as the result was announced, loud cries of -question ! question !" were heard on all sides. Hut Duncan of Ohio got the floor, and spoke till uib recBBB, niiu two luortui nouro aiierworus, III 1MB oecullar style of noisv irrelevancv. Ho was rnterrooted several times by calls to order. Yet he held on unltred,. wearing down the patience ol the Mouse. When at lost he stopped his oration, Mr. Legars rose, snd withdrawing his morion for rsforence, moved to strike out Ihe second seciion of Ihe bill, being that part which repeals the Deposite Aot. 8evernl attempts were made to cut off this amendment by calls for the Previous question, bul they all failed ; and the second section wss finally struck out by the triumphant vole of Ayes til). Nays 100. So Ihe House nobly deprived the mea sure of ils only bad feature. The remainder was good in itself. But not good enourh. Mr. Curtis moved to amend, by inserting as a second 1 section, a proposition exactly similsr to lhat introduced J lihoation from the bank a which have issued notes under live dollars, snd sllow them to be used ss depositories.

The diacuasion waa reaitmed tn. day. As soon as the Speaker declared tho state of ths matter, Mr.Orantof New York, demanded ihe Previous Question, which was sustained by a large majority the Whiga genoraily voling for il. The vote was, Ayes 110, Nays3!l. ' This, of course, cut off all the amendmenls. snd Ilia question was put directly on ordering the bill to be en- biiibbbu nu reau a intra time.

Tho bill having pasaett bptn nouses, umy requires tne spproviil ol the 1 lesiueul, in order to bocomo a law. AVisiimoTon, July 6, 1838. The importent intelligence I eoinmunicated yeslerdsy hst the proposition lo reuse! all esisiing law for lha custody of the publio tressure, hsd been contemptuously rejected by the House of Representatives, musl havs given joy lo all your republican readers lo every lover of the liberty and prosperity of ibe country. As Mr. vvooaierweii remarked, whon the messsge csms to the Scnsle, from the House, announcing Ihe result "We yel hold on to the Irue and important Republican doctrine of Legislative control and superintendence of the public money, and there, il is lo bs hoped, we will continue to hold on." Tho observations made by lhat dislinguished Sonstor when Mr. Wright moved lo concur in the amenoWrii of the House, sre so Irue, and so valuable, lhat your loaders will, I am sure, ba gratified wilh a particular notice of Ihcnt. Ho expressed his hearty concurrence in the amendment. It cave him the creates! ulenaure lhat the llouae had rejected the second section of ths bill, by so deci sive a majority, i hat boay nau tnua arresieo tne surrender lo Ihe Eiecutive of all control over ihe public treasure. It had inleriosed ils authority in a most constitutional and salutary manner a manner highly becoming tho representatives of a freo poople. For all this (ssid Mr. Webster,) I feel highly grateful) and I think the whole country may ba congratulated on the reault. As to what remains of lbs bill, (hs continued,) It does no harm, and soma good. It removes the incapacity from bills of banks which hsve issued small notes, provided such banks shall issue no such small notos after the Ural dny of October next. This is too short, even ;r It m.., ixiMmii. tit fit anv definite! hnriml Th. banks, generally, will nol be able to discontinue the use of small notes within tbsl lime. Nur will Ihsy have aiitiicient inducement to do so. The inconvenisuca will fall nut on thorn principally, bul on ths people ss no man will be able, if ihs law is regarded, to pay his mSb lu"7")1 no!e" w"mn or command. This bill, therefore, does vervHm. .u ..;i. snd inconveniences which are felt, and which must con- iiuuo tu uo ten. Again : It must be remembered that the mw t... Circular is still in force,-and thai no note of anv h.t' If less then twenty dollars, will be received. This, of itself, almost annuls at least it greatly Impairs the privileges secured by the joint resolution of 1816. At the post offices, the land offices, snd thecustom-houses, no paper of less than twenty dollars can be received! Mr. Webster has again ond again laid this before Ihe Senate. He has ssked whether they are contented with such a stale of things and whether they think the people will be contented. Will the small purchasers at the land offices be satisfied with itl Certainly he added,- this was not what be proposed for them i not what he thought their interest required". it we moan to maintain the resolution ot lolo tl we mean to make bank notes receivable at all why should wo emDarrass ana thwart its operation and especially lo the injury of those who have payments to make in small sums! The people, at leoat. will understand thai' I and those wilh whom I usually act. have done all in dur power lo give the people, in every part of the coun try,-me tuiioenentot Ihe resolution ol lolo. Mr. Webster then turned to another part of the sub ject. This bill leaves ihe deposits system in full force in some places, and some Stales: and prevents it from Erevailing in others. The s)stem,-therofore, will be un-ijuai u,.. a.iB i- -- nf j.niitiy another tiling in anotnor. l nose evils, and these inequalities cannot long exist, The countty will demand their re moval. The distinguished statesman concluded with a few of his own characteristic, rapid, energetic sentences, sotting forth the real results of this long and exciting sos- We break up, said he,- wilh'no Sub-Treasury Bill, We brcsk up with no Special Deposite Bill. We break up without having surrendered to the Executive our just control over Ihe public monies. We break up, having abolished Ihe Specie Circular. But we break up, nevertheless, having provisions of law in existence and a new Treasury Circular in existence which must very seriously embarrass the operations of business, especially in some parts of tho country.And we break up, moreover, without having done any thing to estabiish a paper currency, equivalent to . specie, and of universal credit, and equal value in every part of the country. - Till we establish such a currency, we shall not hsve Eerformsd a high and importent duty, which is solemnly inding upon us. Till this is done the country will not be sstisficd. Finally, Mr. Webster said, what is unquestionably truo, thst if a measure calculated to carry into full effect the abolition of Ibd' Specie Circular such as he proposed lo the Senste could have been preaented to the popular branch oi congress in a mannor to oe aetea on, without delay or embarrassment,, it would have suc ceeded there, by s large majority.. Mr. Clay, in a lew words, expressed his concurrence itt the amendment. The effect, ssid he, will be to ro- rain at least so rue semblance of law in guarding the public treasure. 1 ne yeas ana nays in tue sonata on passing Mr. Wright's bill as it cam from ths House, with the second section stricksn out, were ss follows: Yeas Messrs.

WHIG PRINCIPLES. " I have never been able to learn what the 'settled and leading principles' of the Whigs are." Senator Horrii "Scathing Letter." The author of the above sentiment, is referrod to the following article for information which he may probably, deem valuable. It is a reply of the Missouri Republican, to the quostion asked by a Locofoco opponent as contained in the first paragraph and a manly answer it is. It is worthy of remark, that what are Whig princi-ciples in Missouri, are Whig principles in Ohio, and in the farthest township in Maine. They were Whig principles in '28 they are Whig principles in '38 and we deem them eternal and unalterable. " This is true Democratic doctrine. Will the Fede ralists como out like men, and avow their views principle! they have none. They will not they dare not! "Mtuourt Jlrgut. There you are mistaken, sir! With the sword of truth, and the buckler of a righteous cause, we come firth nt vnur challenro. to Proclaim the principles, not of Federalist), as you are pleased to term us, but of Whios, who, like the Whirrs ol '7b, did battle for their country. We have principles, and dare to avow them; perfectly willing that our principles and yours should go wilh each other into the hands of every man in this or any other State. You have dared us to avow onr principles; we dare you to publish this article in your paper, in connection with yours from which the above extract is taken. But the challenge will not be answered, for it would not suit your last avowed, but leading principle, TO KEEP THE PEOPLE IN ignokanue. Our principles, then, are To stahd bv the Constitution, with a firmness and determination which time cannot diminish, adver sity shake, or the possession of power corrupt: To LABOR FOR THE oooo or THE WHOLE COUN TRY, without regard to the claims of party, the interests of sections, or the elevation of any man, how ever distinguished: Tu OPPOSE, TO THE BITTER END, THE CONCENTRA TION or power IN the Lxecutive hand, as foreign to the genius, and destructive to the happiness, wel- tare, and glory ol the Kepumic: To combat before the People, on all occasions, and in all places, the arts of the demagogue, who would pervert their honest confidence to his own vile pur poses ot personal advancement oremolument: TO BRm A PH'IAH wmmm Wli ',". - 1 m tui farthest hamlet on the frontier, til light of that knowledge of the benign institutions of our country, which ib mid - .Ku. the machinations of the desperate triflers with the country's welfare, with whom we are unfortunately deeply cursed: To STRIKE AT THE ROOT or ALL CORRUPTION IN the Government, judicial, legislative, or executive; and turn not back Irom our work until uteir nnai ex termination is complete: To heed, at all times, the voice or THE PEO PLE ; particularly when, in tones ol entreaty, tt erset to the Government of itt creation for relief from galling distrust and to declare open, unrelenting warfare urninat that Administration, which shall return to those cries the heartless answtr, that " ALL COM MUNITIES ARE APT TO LOOK TO GOV ERNMENT FOR TOO MUCH." To denounce, as disgraceful to an American citizen. and destructive of American and human liberty, all armralt to the bad feelmin of our nature. To enrsa him. as an enemv to his country and hi kind, who would leek to array the poor against the rich. and establish on the ruins of the greatest Republio of past or present time, the desperate anarchy of an Jtgrt rian ttislem I To resist all experiment! on the imtitutiont of the country, whether governmental or nscai, as tending, with fatal certainty, to the perversion of the former, the derangement of the latter, and through these to the detriment and unhappiness of the people: 7b force all officers of the Government to the conviction that they are Me servants of the People, not their masters: To tramplo under foot the odious doctrine that the offices and emoluments of the oountry are "the tpoilt of tittorv" to any political party: To deprecate all interference in elections by those who have boon placed in office, at tending to perpetu ate their power i 7b cornrue the Contlilulion on thai liberal Kale which will give its beneficent provisions the widest scope of operation, without going to a laliluilinous and dangerous extreme: To foster and cherish the Industry and manufactures or our own country: To carry on a svBtem of Internal Improvements, by the General Government, at clearly implied in the Oin-ttilution, and the itrongett, matt enduring cement of the cVnion t To ettublith a National Bank, on sound principles, in order that the people may have a currency uniform in value, and sufficient to their wants: Finally, ta atrivo, nipaalnly, tn MlnvntM amil "! ble our native land, that her sons, in whatever part of the world they go, may find it alike an honor and a protection to sny " I am an American Citizen!" Such, sir, are the principle wo avow. Again, we dart you to publish them in your paper. If they are the principles of Federalists, then are we Federalists, through life and death; for by them we will live and die. A PREGNANT IMPEACHMENT. The Maditonian, at the close of the first year of its existence, announces the determination of the Editor to continue his labors, and to oppose the Administration; and specifies many of the causes which have induced this hostility. Were Mr. Van Duron's name not given as the author of all these wrongs, it would be a dullard, Indeed, who would not instinctively turn towards tlrut functionary, and address unto him the words of Nathan to David "Thou art the man"! It is an incontrovertible truth, that every prominent art of litis administration has been an open, unequivocal violation of every principle and profession upon which Mr. Van Duren was elevated to the Chif Magistracy by the People.

Correspondence of Ills Baltimore Patriot. Wabumotoh, June 30, 1838. ANOTHER SUB-TREASURY BILL. The 'topic and llieir Rcpretcnlativct intuited. Tho Senate to-day, by a majority of five, ordered to iiiuu luauiiig, a uiounure, which, II it coum DO carrieu into practicni enect, woutu fasten on the country, a auo-ireaiury Dciieme infinitely worse than thnt which was proposed in the bills that hnvebecn condemned and rejected. This is nothing more nor lets than a proposition to ropcul all that portion of the Deposito Act. which authorizos the uso of banks as depositories of the oovernment, and to place the whole public Treasure nt the mercv, and in the keeping of the Executive. Mr. Wright brought it forward, and induced his party to support him in appending: it to a Bill which he in troduced fur removing the interdict as to the receipt of notes ot Danss wnicn nave issuod bins ol a denomination less than five dollars. Mr. Wright tint asked leave to introduce his bill, tak ing on tne five uotiar Restriction. The question being put on granting leave. Mr. Web ster rose and remnrked, that so far as he could gather trom the title, the main purpose ol the bill was tho same as that at which he aimed in the bill he hod introduced: but which the Bonnie had thought proper to overlay, bv adopting as a substitute, another proposition of a character entirely different, and designed for entirely different purposes. Ho did not eamplain of the treatment his measure had received. The Senate treated Mr. Bu chanan's no better indeed somewhat worse. They took the child of the Senator from Massachusetts out of the cradle, ane placed there the progeny of the Sen ator irom Pennsylvania, and men sunk cradle, chihl and nil. The obiectof Mr. Webster's Bill wastoromove cer tain unjust and injurious disqualifications from- the hanks,' and to effect all the good which was designed by the Resolution repealing the Specie Circular. It was of course, in the powerof the Senate to modify that bill, so as to make it more acceptable to the majority; and there was no necessity therefore for Mr. Wright's Presenting a now proposition. However, Mr. W. said, e was aware that there is some little pride of author- WKSn'fe'fhirii'iTIVi "JlSXM. IfiiuShTIf rather a small jealousy i but it was natural the gentleman should be solicitous to hold on to the reigns of Kower as long as they possibly eould. for himsell lie ad no feoling at all on the subject; and if he found that the meaaure now to be introduced would substan tially effect his object, he would give it hts cordial support, notwithstanding the mode of ils introduction. Aimougn tne senate naa cnoson to overlay nis dim, Mr. Webster proceeded to sny, he had on taking a retrospect of the session, abundant cause for gratulation. A new Adininiatration, with a new Congress, and with ill the sdvanlaires rosulnni Irom the unbounded popu- aritv of the late Eiecutivo had iuat begun. The lirsl message proclaims new doctrines, and recommends new measures: doctrines erroneous and illusory, as the mea sures would be pernicious in practice. They have been condemned and defeated by the representatives of the people. The Bub- Treasury has been rejected witn the Specie Clause without the Specie Clause and un der the disguise of a Special Deposits System. These new meaaures have met their tale out ol doors, at the ballot boxes. The honor of the victory belonged to the people themselves. Yet Congress, he said, have done something Th have rescinded the Treasury Circular; and atthougl the objects of the abolition are not so sxlenaive as could be wished, yet the recisston ilscii was a great good. Congress have also done another thing much better than that excellent indeed for which the country from Maine to (jeorffia, thence to new (Jrleans and so on to Missouri to Mississippi and back to the Atlantic, will give joylul thanks as tors measure lull ol mercy and good fruils Tucv have aorub to adjourn t The people have of late bocomo s prey to Congress they havo been kept in a perpetual slate of alarm, uncertainty, anxiety, and perplexity, by the apirit of chango and innovation manifested hero. When Congress adjournwhen the servants of the people disperse, and set tnetr laces lo wards noma, mors ougiu to uo, ana will be. clanoina ol hands lunov. Mr. Wobster concluded by declaring lhat while here. he would concur in any thing that could be done fur ihe relief or convenience of iho oountry, from whatever quar- lor the proposition might come. Mr. Webstar made no oimositien to tne nut oi mr, Wriirht! But sfior it was introduced and read, ha call ed aueniion to the fact that it only affected the receipt of the notes ol those banks which have tnuea puis ol less denomination than ii. It said nothing ol authorising Ihe Secretary lo use such banks as depositories! bul left them totally disqualified in thai respect: So thai under ils onoroiion. we have deposits bsnks in ono quarter of lha Union, and none in ihs others. Mr. Webster contended lhat this interdict ought to be taken olf; snd ell the banks nul on the same touting. He accordinglv offored an amendment, as a 2d. section, to suspend sii mucn ot tne sJ eposne aci, bb proiuuito iuubo uanKe, which have issued notes of s less denomination than f rilllll bUllIU I.1..UA M AvL-waA.-.lM. wV .I.v. ney. This proposition save rise to a lone; and animated dii cussion, in which the hostility of ihe party to.lho banks, was most strikingly maniteateu. As soon as Mr. Rives finished, Mr. Wright rose, and said, that bv Ihe advice of some friends, hs would offer a proposition for the repeal of the first twelve sections ol the Deposits Act an wnicn roier to tne uaeol rjsnKi as dcposiiorics. He presented It as a substitute for Mr, Webster's amendment. Well, (exclaimod Mr. Webster, when he heard this extraordinary proaition announced,) lhat is manly si anv rate. We know whereto find gentlemen. Mr. Clay then took tho floor, and spoke with great apirit and force. The proposition, he said, came out boldly and without ditgmso, and places the whole Treasury at the discretion of the Eiecutivo lo be kept by Ihs Executive wlthoul Iho slightest control or restrain! of law. It is another link of the Sub-Treasury System 1 Mr. Clay defended the banks In issuing small notes They had done no more than waa torced upon them : they veilded to the necessities of ihs limes: ond lis main tained, that ths proper course to be pursued towards them was lo remove all these restrictions, until the banks could again obtain the confidence of the country! and after thai had been accomplished, then was Iho tuno to renew their enoris lor enlarging mo specie circulation. He rejoiced howovor, thnt this tnessure had been brought forward. Tho decision upon it would show Ihe country who wero the men ready tn surrender Ihi Fuass lo lha unlimited control of the Eiecutivo. Mr. Benlon then rose! snd declared there was not Ihe slightest use for continuing lo Ihe Secretary th authority to use ths banks ss depoailories becnuae Ihe Government had in reality no money lo depoaits in them. This was the nutnougger'a argumsul lor inr Wright's proposition! Mr. Criimndon spoka briefly, bul with Brest anima- lion against ihs measure He was sharp and short. Would that some a thoussnd degrees his inferior in every respect, would intimate his example) andnotboro us with long speeches when Ihe thormometer is at 95 degrees! Mi. iallmadgo, Mr. Rives and Mr. Clay, successive-r commented with eloquence and impressiveness on re slfsct of the measure: but their voices were rai. aed in vain. Aset a long debate, tho Question wasnut on the adon- tion of Mr. Wright's proposition as a substitute for Mr. wcastei'S, and curried in the affirmative. Yjias. Messrs. Allen, Bentom Brown. Buchanan.

THE NEW SUB-TREASURY BILL, 'lis Seneto totav Passed that disgraceful and nrlinna Bi, introduced by Mr. Silas Wright, repealing all law inrcference to-the safe keeping of the publio money; sni surrendering Ihe Treasury tulhe Presideut,wiiliout contrator limitation. Well, tot the Experimenters trample where they pos sess a tomnoriry ascenduncy. The people's Irue Representatives will throw back upon them the wretched expedient wilh a decision and promptitude, by no means Vliuuu, aging u, uib rupiHIMOU Ul HUB llUgrBlll inBUIl. w neu tno question was put on tho mini passage ot the Bill, Mr. Webster rose and remarked that thorn was no time now fur discussion, but he wished to impress on the Senate and the Country, the ronl stato of Iho law, and Iho condition of matters, if this moasure should pass. in the Ii rat place, tho notes ot no bank shall be received which have issued notes of a denomination leas than five dollars. This prohibition will exclude the notes of slmost oil the banks in the North. ' In the second place, no bank note ehall be received which is itscii under, the denomination ol twenty dollars. This has been prevented by tho new Treasury Circular. Mr. Wobster brought forward a proposition to obviate this svil ; and it is one of a very serious character; for how can a man mako payment el the Post Offico, if he is not to offer notes under twnnty dollars. The inconvenience at the Land Office will be found still gretterand will fall wilh particularly heavy weight on tho purchascr of the forty acre tracts. Thirdly. The reception and custody of the public money, will bo exclusively in the hands of the Treasurer, as it was after the removal of the Depositee, before the passage of ttie Deposite Acl. And as it is the well known doctrine of the party,that all officers are dependent solely on the Executive, and removable at his pleasure, it follows thnt the proceedings of tho Treasurer will be exactly as the President muy direct. All security for the public purse, and all restraint on the Executive, are repealed whenever this proposition is adopted. But,-said Mr. Webstor, Ihe collectors now make use of the banks, snd he believed they would continue to use them. When they pay overthe money they receive to the Treasury, they will place it in bankf for whero else can it be put? It will be kept in Stale Banks as before, wilh the alteration only, there will be no limitation or restriction on the custody. This, Ihen, is the end to which the Administration has srrived in its progress of Divorce 1 All their noble purposes their aealous perseverance in laboring to accomplish a Divorce, havo terminated in retaining ihe banks as depositories of the public money. Mr. Preston followed with a most powerful and eloquent speech. Should the Bill pass, he said, we would be brought to the condition of things in 1834. Mr. Pres ton came into the oenate at that session the celcbrsied italic &im as the party have delighted to coll it when the Executive had by a daring and audacious act, seized on Iho Public treasure. Alier five years struggling, we are now to be placed in the same stste, Willi this great aggravation, thai Congress now goes and lays down at ths feet of tho Executive, what at lhat day ins unscrupulous boldness of Andrew Jackson, had prompted him to soize upon! To this has the Senate come, lief that ihe measure would not be sdopted by the House of Representatives. He hsd no doubt the patriotic sup port way ubu bv gloriously BAiiiuueu, wouiu coniinne to snrmste tnem: and tnat, as the crowning glory ol the victory wnicn nsa given sucn general joy, Iboy would put their aeal of reprobation on the bill. . The debate was continued by Messrs. Sirangs and Benton insupport of ihe bill, and Messrs. Smith of Ind. and Talhnadge, in opposition. 1 ne cries being loud lor Ihs "question," Mr. Calhoun who hsd hitherto taken no part in the discussion, snd, win though in the Senate a few moments before the vole wasinken on Saturday, was absent whon hie name was called, rose lo explain hia policy. After declaring hov unpleasant it was to differ trom those with whom he acted, and how much he rogretted that anothor ques-lioa was presented on wliieh. sleo, he wna obliged lo differ from them, he proceeded to say lhat if the bill really restored the set of 17(19, which was intended (as he alliged) to establish a constitutional treasury, he would ;o lur a with all his heart. IJut that was not lis eltect. I gave every thing lo Iho Executive! It threw on thai officer indeed the power to reatore the Slate Bonk sys tem.- itwaa-a mgn respousiuiiii'! ana ii tne rresiuent would do the former, he, (Mr. Calhoun) would not de sert him. But if the Stale Bank system should berestored,-he would give il his decided opposition. He did not know Ihe intentions ot the r.xecutive. nor those of hitfriends hero; but he hoped the Presidont would act like a man, and break down all connection between the government and the banks. 1 lie question was men taacn ana earrica in ins alhr- mnitve.

Washinoton, July 3, 1838. ANOTHER SUB-TREASURY BILL REJECTED. Ths House of Representatives, to-day, returned on the hands of Mr, Silss Wright, and his Loco-Foco sssocisies, their bill, with the section struck out that proposed lo abrogate all law, and give overthe public treasure to the custody of the Eiecutive. Thus have the People's Representatives again, in the moat unequivocal manner, declared their determination to have nothing lo do wilh the Sub-Treasury system, in sny shape or form. Tina bill was announced yesterday by Iho speaker, among die bills trom Ihe senate. J t waa read twice, aa l- akvnA-,, . V -... j lf A -H - t-A- ! tuned up. Cambrelong obtained the floor, and said he would not propoaea reierenco oi tne bill to the Committee of Ways ana .uenne; oecause, malign ne wouia wish to add some provisions, there was now no time for discus sion. 1 he provisions, ne continued, are simple, snd ihe object so beneficial, that he thought no reasonable objection could be taken lo the question in any quarter ( ! !) me nonorauie vnanceuur 01 uie cxencquer was uere interrupted by a hearty and goneral chorus of loud laughter, expressivs of Iho House's enjoyment of his rare impudence.He grew indignant al so sudden sn explosion of mirth, and duclarod with heal, that gentlemen might laugh but so Ihsy bad been laughing for ton months al a hill which nol more than one in Ion ot them had ever road I This ebullition had an effect exactly the onnosilo of a sedative. The laughing wassiill more cordisl and per vadintr. When it eeaaed, Cambrelenir was heard con tending that ihe section proposed lo be repealed, prohibited any of Ihe banks from being used ss depositories; and thai the inhibition waa porpolual on Ihe Secrelary, Moreover, ihe Sub-Treasury scheme was established bv ., - i, ... I !. i I .i . i- ' Ilia IM'pueilo aci, ui-cnun 11 piaceu ins pUDIIO mohoy directly in the hands of Ihe Treaaurcr. Ysl, in Ihe same bronlh in which he made theae slalo-ments, he declared that llie Deposite Acl was a nullity, and had repealed itself. He finally capped the climax of his bold and absurd assertions, by saying that the Sub-Treasury was the iimngeat measure before the country. Mr. Aleniles commented wilh remarkable spirit snd forco on ihia extraordinary speech nf the Exocutire or-gin in the House. The mistakes of Cambreleng respecting financial laws, were as conspicuous aa his blunders shout the finances of the country. If, said he, lha Deposito Act oporates aa a perpetual prohibition against the employment of banks that have suspended apecia pavments, why do you wish to repeal It T If it be a riiillitv, why repeal itt In that case, ll should be effectually extsrminsted, without consuming our precious tims on fuitber action. But, Mr. Momlos argued, that such a statement Was an utter: perversion of mo ibci; ana ne quoted trom the Isle report ot Mr. Wright in answer tor Webster's rniiohitinn of inmiirv. to show that the Chairman of the Senate's Committee of finance had come to conclusions exactly the reverie ot Cainbreleng's; and sol forth that it was in ihe competency of the Secretary to employ certain banks as depositories. This opinion Mr. Wright expressed after a careful survey of the whole Act, and (added Mr. Menifee, turning directly to Cambreleng,) how much sooner your opinion may transcend your financial brother's in the oilier House, it must be admitted you are at issue. There- is a difference in tho Camp of Israel. Mr", tegare of S. C. opposed the bill in a short, rapid, and energetic speech. Here, he said, you propose to sacrifice in an instant your whole financial system without debate without deliberation without examination and under the pressure of the Previous Question. (yusnman, the ieavmM,-had tried several tunes' lo get ihe floor, for the purpose of applying his axe.) It was so great sn innovation,-(continued Mr. Legare) thai one of my colleague in another branch' of Congress blenched before it, (lie alluded to Mr. Calhoun) : that gontleman opposed it because of the tremendous accession to Eiecutivo patronage and power which it made " because it went to build up a system ol DiscTetion'Whlch wouiu control men, and never could be controlled by men. He referred to a casual remark from Cambreleng, a-bout the issue bemg between a National Bank and a Sub-Treasury! He denied it. The true issue was bo- iwueu . J ilu, llmK.,1 Kiann. to bo trovcrncd by commercial men, with retereneo lo the wants and convenience of the commanity.and anolhur Bank, to bo govorncd by the Secretary of the Treasury and hrs fel low politicians! That is the issue. Sir, 1 am not to be frightened by any painted- devil the gentleman may exhibit. I am not afraid of being charaed with covort in tentions to establish a National Bankf but I here say, 1 am more against this bill than such an institution. Mr. Legare eoncludcd with a motion to refer tho bill to the Committee en Ways and Menns. Mr. Wise said hs had remained at his post till he saw the Sub-Treasury dead, and, as he thought, consigned to tho tomb forevor. But he had suddenly received a summons, whilo in a neighboring place, calling him back to lay again tne gnost ui mat luminous measure, which had boon raised asifbythe wandof the tVitchof Endor. Ho commented sharply on lire inconsistent and absurd remarks of Cambreleng. If (as Cambreleng alleged) tho Deposito Act established the Sub-Treasury, why was that measure agau. introduced I Did the " Chan cellor" think the members of the opposition so young snd ignorant, ss nol to know that line proposition is a cat in the moan The supporters of tho Sub-Treasury. Cambreleng had said, were stronger than their opponents. Ave. ssid Mr. wise, ana why I why are you strongest i Ifecause you hsve the power and the discretion! and the patronage. .... - ... . - - - r. you now propose to enlarge. You have ihe strength of one man against the many. You are strongest only ss the cxecutivo is stronger than the reopiei Mr. Wise said he would accept the issue Cambreleng E resented. He was for a National Bank which would ei hand of the law, lo keep and guard-the publie treasure. The issuo was between such an institution, and placing tho public treasurs in the hands of the Executive, lie was ready to take his position ot once for tho hand of the law. When Mr. Wise set down, thore was great competition for the floor. Cushman of New Hampshire, obtained it, and demanded the Previous question. The call was not sustained. As soon as the result was announced, loud cries of -question ! question !" were heard on all sides. Hut Duncan of Ohio got the floor, and spoke till uib recBBB, niiu two luortui nouro aiierworus, III 1MB oecullar style of noisv irrelevancv. Ho was rnterrooted several times by calls to order. Yet he held on unltred,. wearing down the patience ol the Mouse. When at lost he stopped his oration, Mr. Legars rose, snd withdrawing his morion for rsforence, moved to strike out Ihe second seciion of Ihe bill, being that part which repeals the Deposite Aot. 8evernl attempts were made to cut off this amendment by calls for the Previous question, bul they all failed ; and the second section wss finally struck out by the triumphant vole of Ayes til). Nays 100. So Ihe House nobly deprived the mea sure of ils only bad feature. The remainder was good in itself. But not good enourh. Mr. Curtis moved to amend, by inserting as a second 1 section, a proposition exactly similsr to lhat introduced J lihoation from the bank a which have issued notes under live dollars, snd sllow them to be used ss depositories.

One or two instances will suffice. A proposition from Mr. Rives, a representative from Virginia, to commit Ihe bill, so lo amond aa lo diapenss with ine tnstrumentalily ot banks in the fiscal operations 13 UUT""nln,!n,i wa voteu down Ayes K7, Nsys Two or three others looking to a atimrre. wore reieei. ed by voles equally strong. mr. lysmpneii, ol south Carolina, ottered an amondment, to the effect thnt the monov doDoaitcd in thabanka should not be used for banking purposes. Some others of a similar charaoter were offered. The House got in to great contusion with themi and there boing linle chance of coining lo a salisfsclory conclusion, they determined about half past IU lo adjourn. Wednesday. Juv4. The diacuasion waa reaitmed tn. day. As soon as the Speaker declared tho state of ths matter, Mr.Orantof New York, demanded ihe Previous Question, which was sustained by a large majority the Whiga genoraily voling for il. The vote was, Ayes 110, Nays3!l. ' This, of course, cut off all the amendmenls. snd Ilia question was put directly on ordering the bill to be en- biiibbbu nu reau a intra time. I his was carried in the affirmative Aves 130. Nave M. Mr. Campbell of South Carolina, then look the floor, uU Biint tew remarks moved lo recommit wilh instructions to add certain amendments; bul the motion wss promptly rejected, and lha bill was finally paaacd and sent lo the Senste for concurrence lo iho amend- mom adopted. Novor, surely, did amendment better doserve the name. It struck out from Ihe bill ils objectionable lesluro its disgraceful character I ought minor lo say for il is disgraceful to sny sel of men, lhat, in such a country as this, they should be ready lo lay down all law at ihe feet of the Executive, ll left ths bill in Ihe shape of a simple proposition to remove the Fivs Dollar Restriction, so fnraa io allow until the iir.i of Oclober next Ihe receipt of notes of bsnks which have iiieo diiis unuor live do lars. When it came bock to the Sonata. Mr. Wright himself moved lo concur in Ihe amendment of the House.

Tho bill having pasaett bptn nouses, umy requires tne spproviil ol the 1 lesiueul, in order to bocomo a law. AVisiimoTon, July 6, 1838. The importent intelligence I eoinmunicated yeslerdsy hst the proposition lo reuse! all esisiing law for lha custody of the publio tressure, hsd been contemptuously rejected by the House of Representatives, musl havs given joy lo all your republican readers lo every lover of the liberty and prosperity of ibe country. As Mr. vvooaierweii remarked, whon the messsge csms to the Scnsle, from the House, announcing Ihe result "We yel hold on to the Irue and important Republican doctrine of Legislative control and superintendence of the public money, and there, il is lo bs hoped, we will continue to hold on." Tho observations made by lhat dislinguished Sonstor when Mr. Wright moved lo concur in the amenoWrii of the House, sre so Irue, and so valuable, lhat your loaders will, I am sure, ba gratified wilh a particular notice of Ihcnt. Ho expressed his hearty concurrence in the amendment. It cave him the creates! ulenaure lhat the llouae had rejected the second section of ths bill, by so deci sive a majority, i hat boay nau tnua arresieo tne surrender lo Ihe Eiecutive of all control over ihe public treasure. It had inleriosed ils authority in a most constitutional and salutary manner a manner highly becoming tho representatives of a freo poople. For all this (ssid Mr. Webster,) I feel highly grateful) and I think the whole country may ba congratulated on the reault. As to what remains of lbs bill, (hs continued,) It does no harm, and soma good. It removes the incapacity from bills of banks which hsve issued small notes, provided such banks shall issue no such small notos after the Ural dny of October next. This is too short, even ;r It m.., ixiMmii. tit fit anv definite! hnriml Th. banks, generally, will nol be able to discontinue the use of small notes within tbsl lime. Nur will Ihsy have aiitiicient inducement to do so. The inconvenisuca will fall nut on thorn principally, bul on ths people ss no man will be able, if ihs law is regarded, to pay his mSb lu"7")1 no!e" w"mn or command. This bill, therefore, does vervHm. .u ..;i. snd inconveniences which are felt, and which must con- iiuuo tu uo ten. Again : It must be remembered that the mw t... Circular is still in force,-and thai no note of anv h.t' If less then twenty dollars, will be received. This, of itself, almost annuls at least it greatly Impairs the privileges secured by the joint resolution of 1816. At the post offices, the land offices, snd thecustom-houses, no paper of less than twenty dollars can be received! Mr. Webster has again ond again laid this before Ihe Senate. He has ssked whether they are contented with such a stale of things and whether they think the people will be contented. Will the small purchasers at the land offices be satisfied with itl Certainly he added,- this was not what be proposed for them i not what he thought their interest required". it we moan to maintain the resolution ot lolo tl we mean to make bank notes receivable at all why should wo emDarrass ana thwart its operation and especially lo the injury of those who have payments to make in small sums! The people, at leoat. will understand thai' I and those wilh whom I usually act. have done all in dur power lo give the people, in every part of the coun try,-me tuiioenentot Ihe resolution ol lolo. Mr. Webster then turned to another part of the sub ject. This bill leaves ihe deposits system in full force in some places, and some Stales: and prevents it from Erevailing in others. The s)stem,-therofore, will be un-ijuai u,.. a.iB i- -- nf j.niitiy another tiling in anotnor. l nose evils, and these inequalities cannot long exist, The countty will demand their re moval. The distinguished statesman concluded with a few of his own characteristic, rapid, energetic sentences, sotting forth the real results of this long and exciting sos- We break up, said he,- wilh'no Sub-Treasury Bill, We brcsk up with no Special Deposite Bill. We break up without having surrendered to the Executive our just control over Ihe public monies. We break up, having abolished Ihe Specie Circular. But we break up, nevertheless, having provisions of law in existence and a new Treasury Circular in existence which must very seriously embarrass the operations of business, especially in some parts of tho country.And we break up, moreover, without having done any thing to estabiish a paper currency, equivalent to . specie, and of universal credit, and equal value in every part of the country. - Till we establish such a currency, we shall not hsve Eerformsd a high and importent duty, which is solemnly inding upon us. Till this is done the country will not be sstisficd. Finally, Mr. Webster said, what is unquestionably truo, thst if a measure calculated to carry into full effect the abolition of Ibd' Specie Circular such as he proposed lo the Senste could have been preaented to the popular branch oi congress in a mannor to oe aetea on, without delay or embarrassment,, it would have suc ceeded there, by s large majority.. Mr. Clay, in a lew words, expressed his concurrence itt the amendment. The effect, ssid he, will be to ro- rain at least so rue semblance of law in guarding the public treasure. 1 ne yeas ana nays in tue sonata on passing Mr. Wright's bill as it cam from ths House, with the second section stricksn out, were ss follows: Yeas Messrs.
