ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. Wo have boon anplied to from nevoral quarter., to pu,lih the proceedings of the Legislature of Oliki on ihs sulyect of the animation of Tpxm in IH38. Hereto a copy of the resolution! adopted is nnnricd. Never since the adoption of Hut Constitution of the United States has a sulycci of U kind lu.Pi! nroniii(l tn ill a American Dconle. Tlie two rases of nurrhases mnde from 811am had but little resemblance to this of Teian annotation. These cases wore im-re purchases of territory. The few occupants residing ilicrcon were subjects of a doipoiic government, with few or no rights eiccpt those of ownership in tlie lands whirb had been granted lliem. In regard lo political rights, they had neit to none j and the territory once arquircd by 111, it became subject lo tho laws and regulations of our other territory. No one could doubt the right of Spain lo the territory ceded, nor her power to dis-posa of il in any way she chow. With lha eiccpiion of the extent of territory thus addud, the condition of the contracting parties remained the same. Hull, there is a question that lies at tho foundation of all these transactions which has never yel been properly eiaminod and decided. Thnt is, the power of our government to purchase fbieign territory ami incorporate H into the bosom of the Union. It was ll.e opinion of Mr. Jclfcraon that lha constitutional power was wanting, bui his great popularity carried the measure in the above named rases with but little lamination. Hut, the annexation of Teias Is a very different question. The richl of tho government of lhal Stale is one of possession only. Mexico has never by any art of hers divested herself of thai right 1 nor can nny other right except that of force, he cited against her. The United Slates, by her treaty with Mexico has acknowledged her right to the territory. Hut that is nol lha only strong point in the ease : To make a eon-tract right and legal, both the parties must la legally competent lo enter inio it the una who redes as well as the ono who receives. Texas having nothing but forcible possession, our agreeing to accept her into the Union places us exactly in her situaiiun, and confers on us as against Mexico no right at all. There is, however, a stronger objection than even this : If (ivcrumsnts of a republican cast, so far as regards their constitutional and administrative powers, are emanations from the public wilt. They are instituted for th public benefit, and bound lo maintain their integrity and preserve themselves. They have no power either to dissolve themselves by their own official acts, or cede themselves to a. foreign power. When the people of Texas instituted for ihrmielvui a constitution and form of government, they conferred upun the officers who were lo administer it no power to dissolve it. The power wero all con-crvaiivt. How then, let us atk, is the Government of Texas authorized 10 dissolve lha national government of Teias by a treaty with us; and, in place of a free, sovereign, and independent nation, shrink into mere appendage to this Government f Those reasons, incontrovertible as we think them to lie, are as applicable lo the Government of tho United Stales ns they are to that of Texas. If the Government of lhal dlnlc hna Dot the right to dissolve itself, then ha this Government no riktht to accept it as a part of ihis Union. 1 o mak this il trntinn mora clunr, let ill suppose thnt the people of Franco, after the dentil of Louis INullippe, (or before, if you please,) were to make a proposition to this Government for the amal en iiiation of lha two into one great nation. There could br no reason offered agnintt this union thnt docs not apply equal ly to the annexation of Texas. France, with her ft) .CM), (MX) inhabitants, would swallow up the voice of the 17,000,000 of our present population, just as our own would now overbalance tlie sutfriige of Texas. Nor would the sea that sepa-rn'es us from France at all change tho similarity of tlie caaa. The distance between us and France is not greater than are some parts of Texas. Let those who take an interest in Ihow things, reflect seriously on the matter. Let them view the case upon constitutional principles, divested of all connection with speculations in scrip, Texas bonds, and purrhascs of lands, as wall as lha political capital to he made no the one sido or the other in the I'rcudenttal election, and decide or-cordmgly. There arc many considerations which refer them selves to (he policy of this measure, as connertod with the peace uid ullimnle henllhlulness of our admirable system of free government, which we may discuss at another tune- li the mean lime, we fuel hound to say, that thai for audacity of usurpation no Government, depending for its support upon ixibhc suffrages, hat ever yet presented so glaring and reck' less an instance.

Tho aocoud roaulution was agreed to, pago 521, without a vote on record. t I ollicc he kepi, he was iulnrmed that the convention wuuld meet ns soon as die other delegate came. After waiting some Iiiiiu with no success, four men in lhal plar who were out of employment of nny kind, consented to Ikj considered Ttlvr men for tho lime being, provided they were recommended for some sort of au ollico nlicr the convention adjourned. The ImrgHin wnt strurk, ami alter moving a wan-siuii(i nni a iiciBiitilv of rhwiemil of one of llui bed-rooms ill the third sto ry of 1)10 tavern, they "were shown up stairs" by llm land lord. A presidvnl, two vice presidents, nn l a secretary were pointed utiaminously, and five were left ou the Door with out olliecs." The St. Louis meeting was almost if not qnite as large and u eiithusinstic as the Illinois State Convention, as will ho scon by the following account from Ihe Republican, published in that city : "The proposed hour of the meeting was unavoidably deferred in a much later one, on account of the small numWr that hail collected at Ihe set time, but the period thai was Nuflured to elapse, was profitably employed iu drumming up recruits, in the shape of some iloxen or so of sundry idlers, who were induced to "walk up" by reason of the deceitful promises of ofhecs, etc, which were frmidu Irmly made by some of the geltcrs-up of this truly comical ntfair. One loafer was rnthcr loud yesterday in the si reels, in his demons! ra-linns of hostility lo the "wholt tutted Tyler concern," as he en lied il, from the farl of Ihe exceedingly shabby irick that was plajed uion him. He says that he was standing al soma corner of the street, casting about his ideas as to llie proba bility ol "searing up a outlier" somewm-res, ami wniie in ine midst ol his interesting rcverio, he was lapped an tho should er by sumo ono iu spectacles, ns lie thinks whereupon Ihe delicate uesiion was propounded as lo whether or not he went for "old host Tyler V' The chnp, deeming this question somewhat of an infringement upon his rood seme mid character, was about, ns lie says, "lei into" the intruder, when something was dropKd from the oilier parly alwul his gelling a small office, if ho would consent lo ollend I lie Tyler mueling. Whereupon, off he started, crying oul at the top of his hings, as he threw up his crown less hal, ''Jtutice to honttt John Tyler!" He shared largely in the doings of die meeting, and voted fur every thing and lincc the adjournment ho says lie can ret no satisfaction about Ihe office thai was so strongly innieu ai ny ine 1 yier man wno seunceu nm.

Ilia idea of holdiiiB the meetuiff in Ironl of ihe Court House was sagaciously abandoned, and such as were present strayed into the Court House, To increase tlie attendance as much as xsihlc, a couple of Tyler men were slulioned in the street 111 front, and passers-by were induced by these two patriotic worthies "just to step in for heaven's nnke and help ihe thing along !" In this way, some thirty or fnrly were sloptcd 011 the street, and a mnjorily of Ihvin after enjoying a hearty Inogh at Ihe bare suggestion of a "Tyler meeting," went 111, altuul a quarter ol nine, some one was culled lo llie chnir, and for fear lhal lite duties would be loo arduous for one man, two others were appointed to ussisi htm in sustaining Ihe awful rcilKiusibilily of llio slnlion Tho meeting was then addresser! by the Postmaster at Fulton, in Ihis Mime, and a land agent from Illinois. After all Ihe nralnry hnd been worked on the patriotism vHooruicd, and four-find of the number had left, a muliuu was made lo adjourn tine die." "POPULAR I)i:momjthathns." John Jones, of tho Madisonian, is indefatigable in his efforts to convince lha world, and particularly that portion of it dc-mmtinated par excellence, ihe "Hcmocrntie parly,'' that his master m renins 10 be ainaiinirly popular, lie sees evt dences of ihis in all directions, and proclaims it day after day to his aluDishcd readers. He is no indifferent observer of the hostility evinced by a great portion of the l.ocofocos lo the nomination of Mr. an Huren. In the midst of the dis sensions which distract their ranks, his warningvoic is heard above ihe dm of ihe eonltict He points tho helligerants to the rock on which they are about lo split, and entreat them lo turn to John Tyer and be saved and whrn his proflerrd advice is icjcciad with disdain, he still goes on entrcaiing, aipostulaling, admonishing, hoping aim nil hope, and per amtdiug himself lhal success will at last crown hie exertions, ami that his muter will he tht rnmhdau and the onAy randi date in opposition to Mr. Clay ! 1 he following from the M disomau of the 13ih, shows lhat John's hopes are bnghuiing "P.irt i.An OtnoNsTHATitms Knch dnv brings us the iirocerdiufs ol fmnt three in sis IVmocrnlie Tjlcr nwrtinrs in di tie real quartcn of ike Union, and so numerous arc lha de mnnds on our columns lhat we find it impossible lo keep pace wilh ihe triumphant advances of our friends. Until the pressure in some manner subsides, we slinll be under the necessity of preariiig a consented synopsis ol tlie many lyivr l in! inlo.l ai intrrllllf' Ihctn In fill I. lier can now hardly be a douhi lhal John Tyler wilt be lite ramlidate, ami ine emy canumaia, suporieu m oppnai-tin lo Henry Clay." Il is unfortunate lor the universal Tyler parly, that (he Madisonian is so cramped lor room. It should h enlarged, ai least until the meeting of Ihe l.orofoco Convention, for there ever was a lime when the "popular demonstrations" in favor of John Tyler, should he, placed prominently before the public eye, without the shghest abbreviation or condensation, that lime il the present. To suppose that the "triumphant advances" of'JMerism will cease, or lhat ihe " pressure wi subside," uutil after the nomination of the Locofoeo National Convt niton, is, we will assure Mr. Jones, a go delusion of the fancy. We are inclined 10 this opinion, (mm ine account riveu in one of ihe St. Louis papers, of a grand 1 ylcr moot. Ing in that city, and also of a Tyler Hiate Convention held at Sprimilield, Illinois.

That Mr. McDulTio Locofoco Senator from South Carolina says that there is but ono motto under which the Republican (Lncofuco) party can rally, and that is: " FREE TRADE AND UNCOMPROMISING WAR AGAINST THE PROTECTIVE SYSTEM AND ITS AFFILIATED MEA SURES."

Scott & TiKSUAi.it Gentlemen: I hnvebeen scouting hIhhii for some days through the Muskingum region, and now sit down to spin a short yarn for your use, which you know you can print or throw into ihe fire, just ai to you stinll seem proper. The people of this region seem awako to every thing lhal is new of ridiculous, as well as to some things moro substantial. Withiu inn last nour, 1 nave uwi highly amused with a grave discretion on the evils resulting from the present organization of society, all of which are to Iw cured by associating " a la mode Fourier," and a phnlatu has just entered upon operation between this place and Zanes-ville. They style the association " The Columbian Fhalans," and since they commenced ojrerniions on Monday last, recruits have been dropping in hourly like pigeons upon a roost, but not so independent, I fear, of their ncighliors. The clan is composed of three descriptions of icrsons: 1st, Al ihe hrwl is a man who onre was under the charge of Dr. Awl, of your cily, nnd if we may judge from his wild notions, would yd sustain lhat relation to Hie old Doctor with great advantage lo himself, and perhaps lo others i Id, A few who have money and think this a philanthropic mode of spending it 'M, A large number who having failed to make a living on the old system of industry and individual liability, have united together and arc determined to try whether two ciphers are greater in value Ihan 0110. Thu leader aforesaid is snid lo have lately made some imMirtnnt discoveries, amongst which is lhal Uie observance of the Snbbath is altogether unnecessary. 1 forbear to enter into particulars lest 1 slwuld say something not lettering to the heads or hearts of some concerned in this visionary scheme of reforming society ( bul it has some peculiar features thai I may allude lo hereafter, for their principles and schemes are legitimate matter for public discussion. Business seems lo open with fair prospects here, and Ihe weather is delightful bul may we nol well "beware of the ides of" May 1 You have probably mil forgotten HW4,wlien. after an April of Ihe miesi weather, the frosts of the middle of Mny nui only destroyed all our fruit bul oven ihe growing wheal. In politics there seems lo he quilc a waking up, but nol yel thai deep upheaving which made lha thronv of Van Huren tremble under him in 111 10. 1'erhaps the occasion does nol call for it, for really you cnnnol find an intelligent and candid person in a day's ride lhal has any notion that Van Huren can bo elected ; hut thu die is cast, and Van Huren ninst retrieve his defeat of IRI0 or sink doubly condemned. The lallcr is his destiny, and il is surprising thai his political friends have nol seen it, and, scciog it, have saved him the mortification of a defeat yet more galling than that which hurled hi in from the Presidential flhair. Let not the Whigs, however, neglect lo use their energies. The hunter may miss al point blank shot when over confident. How a man can look at the advantages far manufacturing enjoyed by this valley, and still refuse 10 foster our own manufactures, is more than 1 can understand. The Muskingum Valley ought lo be one of Ihe greatest manufacturing regions in America j but we find too many spend their lime in prating about free Iradc and elections instead of going lo work to improve and build up (he country. I have lately met hero with a beautiful imidc of yellow ware, that is mami factored al Zanesv ille by a company of F.nglishmen, and when I go down there, which will In in a few days, I wilt endeavor lo obtain sumo information for ou in reference lo this ware ns well as oilier manufactures tliero, for the encouragement of whatever gives employment nd support lo our ciiixeus and makes us independent of for eign nations it the W hig policy; and (hough we may difler occasionally as in ihe mode, we never differ as lo the princi ple.

Home body hns written a novel which contains a fancied speech of ono of die characters passing itriciuresnn the char-1 nctcr of Mr. Jtlferson. This publication has given a mortal offence to the Statesman, as he would fain make the world be- j lievc. Hut it must be nil hollow preirnco, as hollow as the pretended friendship for Governor .Shannon. Has not Ihe Statesman over and over again denounced all the friends of protection to American manufactures as ihe partizaus of 11 n-lain, men leagued together for ihe purpose of destroying ihe liberties of the people I Mr. Jefferson was one of ihose who wml for the encouragrmcul of our maun far lures and home industry as a "bam matiomai. oiukct," al least so said tho Jackson Convention assembled al Columbus on tho Rtli 1 of January, HI ill. Surely, iheti, the Statesman, in pretending love for Mr. Jefferson, is acting tho hypocriii. ITT The Statesman brings oul its chicken to crow over tho lection of a Locofoco lownship trustee and a couple of con stables., in Allen couniy. Hither a small crumb to nibble at. Whilo we think of 11, we will suggest to the Statesman, thai ill readers are all in tho dark respecting Ihe Congressional election in the Iftih District of Prnnvvlvnnia 1 and also, that il has entirely forgnticn lo correct tho erroneous statement it made on the 12th instant, with regard to strength or parlies in Ihe Connecticut Legislature. FOROERIES. Much is said in the Statesman of Monday last, on the sub ject of forgeries, and il il lavish in iu abuse of Mr. V hue, of Kenlurky, late Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United Stales. After having, last fall, published 1 letter addressed to one of our cilizens which ! knew lo a forgery, would il nol bo wrll for it to be a litilc modcsi on tta subject of forgeries f THE Cl'RRENCY Seems no longer lo engage ihe attention of the Loco Foeo press.

It is a lamcntablo fact that while all the world is becoming doily more sensible of these important facts, the peoplo of the United States alone are expected to close their eye. to them. Kngland advocates Free Trade it is truo; but she does not practise it. Hho wishes all llio world lo throw open its porta to her, hut she takes oipccial care to close her. against tho world. Her reasons for this attachment to one side Frco Trado are well given in tho following extract: "It is related of the Lacedemonians, that while all the other citizens of Grecco were carcfulto surround their towns with walls, they alono left a part open on all aides. Thus, suiicriority in the field rendered thoin indifferent to (lie adventitious protection of ramparts. It is for a similar reason that England is now willing to throw down tho barriers of Tariffs, and the impediments of Custom Houses: and that all other nations are fain to raixo them up. It is a secret sense of superiority on the one sido, and of in feriority on the otticr, winch is tho nauso ol tho difference.

IUHTIllN OK TIIK DBMOLHATIi: PARTY. David Tod and his hard money brethren arc in a sad fix ! Our renders cannot havo forgotten the facts which we related in regard to the bringing oul of Mcdary's substitute for Gov. Shannon. We established at least two facts, viz: thai Tod was brought out by hard money Old Hunkers at tho instigation of the Stato Printhr, and that Tod had publicly pledged himself to tho undivided and unflinching support of Bartlcy's hard money impracticable bank humbug. The readers of tho Miamian will recollect too, that wo pl-odictod that Tod would he induced, by his po-liticol masters, to abandon, in semblance, before tho thickest of the fight was over, Ihe ground which he at first asttiiuicd. Only two months after his nomination, and nearly sevon months before tho election, ho fulfils this prediction by doclarinir himself in favor of the Old Banking system, with a few modifications. Nuthing but fear engendered by the manifestations of public opinion, which we were certain would fol low, caused 1 od to retreat from the position allotted lo li i in. Anticipating the retreat, however, knowing that it was inevitable, wo were by no means prepared to give our support to Mr, Tod in conscquenco of his now position so unceremoniously assumed! We had but to fuld our arms and await the forth-coming manifestations of tho hard money, old hunks pros, a pres. to which Mr. Tod was alone indebted for his nomination. Hero wo were not so certain. Wo knew that if these presses were honest or desired to appear consistent they would denounce their candidate and road him out of the party, as they had recently dono Gov. Shannon, and the four Senators and fourteen Members who voted for the Wooalcr Bank Bill. What tire tho givings forth of these at present in viow of Tod's Into Bank lotror? We will endeavor In sum up. Last week we stated the fact that tho "Cincinnati Hun" had pulled down tho name of Tod, and, in doing so "read him out of the parly" as "a ifan t'oon.'" Sinco then tho "Aorn-uhk Experiment," "Klyria UtpiMican" and aoveral other hard money papers, havo published Tud's letter uii.aout comment! Not so wilh the "7Vum6ufI Democrat," "Cincinnati Enrmirer," "Arte IMon I'utriot," "Mt. Vernon Banner, "Kalida Venture" and other hard money organs. It will be remembered that in our notice of Tod's letter in the last number of the Miamian, we expressed a want of confidence in Tod's sincerity or the professions of his leading friends upon the Hank question. The justice of our position snd the virtue uf the scepticism wo professed, are established, by the comments of the hard monoy sheets which wo have enumerated above. The Experiment, Republican, die, remain rifcm. Thus showing that they do not npprove the Icttor, and lhal they hnvo not tho boldness and honerty to say so! Tho Democrat, Enquirer, Patriot, Banner, &c. profess, in the vory face of their positive and oft repeated declarations of opposition to all banks, to spprovo the answer of Tod in which he declares in fnvor of a practical system of Banking as necessary fur the business and commcrco of the State! The Banner, with, perhaps, more dishonesty and less ingenuity than tho other papers of its cIobs, disrloscs its cloven foot in Ihe very comments with which it accompanies tho Letter! It pretends lhat Tod has not changed, that ho ia now, as hilherto, "in favor of food Hanks or none," and closes by shouting " Whoornh for Tod and Hartleys MnnAimr Law!!: ' Ah I and nica is the "refuge of liea" which tho Manner man has nro- pared as a hiding place for Tod, himself and their hard money associates! Tod opens a gull trap by leclaring himself in favor of the "Old system of Banking, with certain amendments," and the hard money Editor of tho Banner endorses the declaration and then shouts for "Tod and Bartley's Bill ! !" It H was "iiiruey's Hill ' that Mr. Tod designed to endorso why did he not do so at once and directly instead of specifying whol amendments to the old Minting; syitem he would adrocate r But thus much for tho "Banner." NEW ORLEANS ELECTION. Correipiindi-nro of tho National lnlelligenrer. New Ori.kans, Ai'rilM, 1841. Our municipal olcclions took place yesterdsv.and have resulted in the choice of a Locofoco Mayor, through tho same means that the party succeeded in their recent election for Stalo Senator means which render tho ballot-box a mockery snd a byword. The Judge of a petty city court, dignified wilh the name of a Court of Record, and therefore coming within Ihe yiow of the act of Congress, has boon employed to naturalize the vast number of our floating foreign population, and made upwards of two thousand such citizens. Four hundred were made in oneday,with a ioisi oisregara lo an lite required torma and proula, and the certificates actually issued by merely handing in the list of names. So outrageous was the proceeding lhat tho Legislature took il in hand, and, after an investigation, the House of Representatives, ny an ovorwnoiiniiig vole, (nino only in tho negative,) ordered his impeachment, and declared his proceedings "fraudulent, corrupt, null, and void," and tho Senate aro now sitting on his trial as a high court of impeachmont ; and if justice and equity aro nol banished from that body, and party spirit allowed to rule against all other coniidcralions, they will ignomini-ously break him, as Ihe evidence before Ihem is of a nature lhat put. all previous transactions of the kind to the blush. Our city is divided into three separato municipal governments. Tho Mayor is voted for by them all. Each municipality elect their own Recorder, and ward their own alderman. In the second municipality the inspectors of Ihe election refused to receive any of Ihe abovo spurious votes, and there the Whig ticket succeeded triumphantly by a majority of four hundred votes, though Ihe contest waa very warm and animated. In one ol the wards of the first municipality they wero also refused, and thcro alio the Whig ticket succeeded ; but in thoolhor four wards, as also in tho third municipality, whore they were received, llio Ijocnfoeos carried Ihe day, and a vast number of thoso "Elliot votes" that wero refused in the upper wards, were fraudulently voted below, where they wero received. Notwithstanding all this, the Locofoco majority ia less Ihan two hundred throughout the whole city, and lha Whig candidate for Mayor has actually a large majority of tho legal votes. Such aro the fads of the caso, which I sin induced to give you, as I see the Locos have mado such a flourish throughout tho Union on the result of llio election here in February for State Senator, and which they considered of so much importance as to hare it announced officially to tho old IJon of tho Ilcnnilago, and a correspondence wi'h him publish-ed on tho occasion. Il is really painful to any true lover of his country to see such ineana resorted lo to render contemptible tho dearest riht of freemen, tho ballot-box. Tho Whios ol this cilv are deter. mincu io resist io mo last, and lo llio utmost ot their power, tho reception of those votes at all future elections, and, having partially dnno so at this election, they cannot bul hoto thai returning good senso in the leaders and influential momlters of the opjiosils party, joined to what all good citizens hoie and ex-pool will be tho decision of the Senale nn the pros-cnt trial of Judgo Elliot, will cause all to join in o pinion as regards them at our July election. The excitement about llio annexation of Texas has subsided, snd thoso numerous speculators in Texas money, bonds, and land are greally disappointed under Ihe most recent advices from Washington. The money has fallen very much, and no disposition si present exists to deal it in. A very genoral im-pression, however, exists that Mr. TiLr.a is determined tn form a treaty on tho subject, though few now bcliovo lhat the Senato will ratify iL There are somo very plausible, if not strong rensons in fa- vnr oi ii, and ono question is very difficult to answer : if Texas is not annexed, what is lo became ol her? I am one of thoso who think that her annex-ation would be a very serious injury to this Slate in Carticular, and generally disadvantageous to Uie Ininn at large. Buainess remains without much change. Within a few woeks a material alteration has occurred in the opinions of all as regards tho probable extent of the cotton crop now going forward, and most of these best capable of Judging think it will approach very near to two millions of bales.

JOHN M. GALLAGHER, Syreaarr of the House of Hrpresentativts. THOMAS W. BARTLEY, Speaker of the Sinulc. March 4th, A. D. 1844. Tin CuRRE.icr. Decision or the 8i'rnr.iE Court. The Supreme Court, now in session in this city, has decided, that a man cannot bo convicted for jM.uing coimfrrcit foreign JVoles under ire dollars, becauso they cannot be legally received. In uno word, it ia penal off' nee to receive Uie smnll notes of Banks in other Slates. Tho man who re ceives a counterfeit, therefore has no redress. The Court says: "Jo pass, utter, publish, receive or redeem, a two dollar bill of tho Stale Bank of Indiana, ia neniil. prohibited by positive law, if the bill be genuine but if spurious in legal contemplation, the receiver is not defrauded, for, without a violation of law, on nis part, he could not take IL" A consequence or this decision is, that the Ohio Life and Trust Company thia morning refuses to re- Mire foreign notes under toe dollars. We presume the other Institution will do Ihe same ; and the result will be, that thcao small notes will return to the Banks which issue them. Five dollar bills, we pre sume, will generally take their place. Cin. Chron. Too oood to be lost Mr. Duncan of Ohio, ono of the most violent and bitter partizans among the Locos, in a speech in Congress last week, in apoln- Sizing lor ino neavy expenditures under Mr. Vim uren's administration, said thai it was owing to tho many heavy rxtra ordinary expenses that wero at tendant upon aaid admiaislrotion. Dr. Duncan snid: "The extraordinary expenditures under tlie administration of Mr. Van Buren had been greater than had ever occurred before. From the money which the Whigs had piled up in the Treasury by llio Tit-rifT, Mr. Van Burcn wns compelled to call an extra session lo know what to do wilh II." So then by his own sdmission the Whin "piled" up the money in the Treasury, and Mr. Van Burcn wuit an his sagacity could devise no means to siT.n it, but that after much reasoning wilh himself of llio troublesome "pelf" by siuondennir il in calling a Congress together to know what to do wilh it!
