physicians must do every thing personally,

ly believe more human lives are sacrificed
in waiting for experiments, than ever wilt
be saved, by results. My blood boiled
from (he beginning to the Cud of this me-
lanchuly visit.
I wandered about alone among tho beds
till uiy heart was sick, and I could bear it
nolojfh*; and then rejoined my friend,
In tho train of ono of the physi-

On reaatiing the bottom of tho Salle
St. AfopAfue, ono of the male wards, I
heard foud voices and laughter. I had
ttutir.ed much more groaning and cont-
pli'.tning , in passing among thi) men, and
linn .horrible discordance struck mo as
Wometliing infernal. It proceeded from
ouo of the sides to which tho patients had
been removed who wero recovering. Tlie
most successful treatment hud been found
to bo punch, very strong, with but little
acid, and being permitted tu drink as much
as they would, they jltid become partially
intoxicated. It was n fiendish sight, posi
lively. They wore sitting up, and roach
iqg from ono bed to the other, nnd with
their still pailied faces and blue lips, und
'tho hospital dress of white, they looked
like-so many carousing corpses. I turn
ed away from # them in horror.
I was stopped in the duor-way by a lit
ter entering with a sick tvomnn. They
set her down in tho main passage between
tho. beds, and left her a moment tadind a
place for her. Sho seemed to have an in
terval of pain, and rose up on one hand,
und ’looked about her very earnestly. I
followed the direction of her eyos, and
cou^l ensily imagine her sensations.—
Twent or thirty death-like faces were
turned towards her (rom the different hrds,
and the groans of tho dying and tho dis
tressed came from every side. She was
without a friend whom she knew, sick of
n mortal disease, and abandoned to the
mercy of those whose kinduess is merce
nary and habitual, and of course without
sympathy or fooling. Was it nut enough
alont, if sho had been fur loss ill, to em
bitter the very fountain of life, and ki|]

tank down upon the litter again, and drew
her shawl over her head. I had seen
enough of suffering, and left the.place.
On roacliing the lower stairdfcse, my
friend proposed to me to look into the
dead room. We' descended to a largo
dark npnrtment, below the street lovel,
lighted by a lamp fixed to the wall. Six
ty or soventy bodieffay on the floor, some?
of them quite uncovered, and some wrapt
in mats. I could not see distinctly enough
by the dim light, to judge of their dis

and emaciated.

TKCAT-V with the seminoles.
.The treaty concluded by Col. Gadsden
with the Seminoto Indians, on Urolith ult.,
at Payne’s Landing, provides fot; the re
linquishment by that tribe of ull their lands
in Florida to the Unhid States, and their
reniove.il West of (he Mississippi.
Preparatory to tho execution oi this
Compact, on the part of the Indians, (he
country west Of the river, is to be ex
plored by cnnfulehtial Chiefs of the tribe,
accompanied, by the U. S. Agent, and the
'ossent of the Creeks obtuined, to the re
union will) them of the Seminoles, and
thpir ndmission to all privileges, ns consti
tuent members of that nation. *
In tho event of a satisfactory result
from ihote measures, a part of the Sent-
inolcs will remove within the year 1833,
and tho remainder in the following years,
1884 and 1835.
The United Statos, on their part, a-
gree to pay to the Seminoles, fifteen thou
sand four hundred dollars, for the Indian
right of occupancy, oud for the improve
ments abandoned; and an annuity of three
thousand dollars a year for fiflcon years,
in annuities stipulaied for in die treaty at
Camp Moulirio,. iho payment to com-
ranneo after (be removal of the whole
tribe. These several annuities are to be
added to thoso nlieady granted to the
Creeks, end tho amount of tho whole to
be equitably divided among both tribes, as
members of ono confederation.
In addition to these sums, the United
States, further ngree to .appropriate seven
thousand dollars, to satisfy suclt claims for
negroes and other property, alleged to
have been stolen or destroyed by the
Seminoles, as shall appear to be justly
due: To take the cattle belonging to the
tribe, at a fair valuation, to bo re-placed
with others of equal value, after their re
moval, or paid for in money, at the op
tion of the owners: To defrny all tlie
expenses of removal, to supply provis
ions for twelvu months, after the arrival
of tiro Indians at (heir now abodes, und to
furnish each member of the tribe with a
blanket and a homespun frock.
If the arrangement, thus finppily en
tered upon, should be completed, of which
there enn bn little doubt, so far MS the
two Indian tribos are concerned, the Setn-
inoles will be placed boyond tho reach of
■ ant und suffering, to relieve which Con
gress, in past years, has appropriated near
ly thirty thousand dollars, and.in posses
sion of all the means of improvement now
enjoyed by tho Creoks. ' The numbers
of tho Creeks themselves will bo increased
by their rc-union to a cognato branch of
their tribe, and their resources augment
ed by tho addition of the annuities, hith
erto given to the Seminoles. Tho Uni
ted States will ifequiro a valuable territo

THE BANK BILL
Tho bill to continue the Bank of the
United States passed to a third reading in
the Senate, on Satutday last, by a majori
ty of fiyo votes. Had the three absent
members been present, wo understand tho
majority would have been eight.
Tho bill, as it has pass the Senate, con*
tains in substance the following provisions:
J. Tho Bunk charter to bo.continued
for fifteen yours, from nnd after the 3d day
of March, 1836; that being tiro day oil
whitth the present charter expires.
2. Tho Directors may appoint two or
more officers to sign notes less than one
hundred dollars, which shall be binding
on the corpprntion, in the snmo manner as
if signod by the President and Cashier.
3., The Bank is not to issue or put in
circulation uSy notes, or any checks or
drafts, of a less denomination tliun fifty
dollars, nnd shall not, on tho faces thereof,
ho payable at the bank where issued.
4. Tho Bank, and all its offices, shall
he bound to receive, in paynient of ba
lances due them from other bunks, notes
or bills of tho Bank of tho United States,
whorever made payable on their faces.
5. Tho Bank is to hold no real cstato
(except hank buildings nnd lands mort
gaged, &c.) for a longer period than five
years.
6. Tho Bank shall not establish or con*
tinuo more than two offices in any ono
Stale.
7. The Bank is to pay two hundred
thousand dollars a year to the United

ring the whole period of fifteen years.
8. It shall bo lawful for Congress to

Bank of the Vnited States.—The bill
from the Senate to modify and continue
the act to incorporate the subscribers to
(he Bank of the United States Was road
twice by its title—
Mr- Spoighl, with a view, he said, of
testing the wish of the House to go into a
debate at this time, moved to lay tiro bill
on the table.
Mr. McDuffie said that ho felt bound
to giyo notice that if this motion was lost,
he should immediately itiovb tlie third rea
ding of tho bill.
The question of laying the bill oh tho
table was taken and decided as follows:
Yens 88, Nays 111.
Mr. McDuffie rose and said, when this
motion to lay the bill on tlie table was
made, under tlie excitement of the moment,,
he had stated that lie should move the bill
be read a third time if the motion should
be lost. But after the strong majority in
favor of tho bill, which tho result of that
motion had indicated, he felt no inclina
tion to press the advfhtnge which the
friends of tits bill evidently possessed.
Unless tho bill might lay upon the Spea
ker’s table to bo, taken up at the pleasure
of tiro House, ho should request its refer
ence to tho Committee of tho Whole on
the state of the Union.
Mr. Archer said, the gentleman from
South Carolina in his former intimation'
that he should press the bill to a third read •
iug, seemed to think its adversaries were
disposed to get rid of it indirectly. He
was opposed to tho bill, nnd had support
ed the motion to lay on the tablo simply
from a wish to know whethor it was neces
sary, by tho opinion of the House, to pre
pare for the encounter. The motion was
undoubtedly made with that view. This
explanation he foil bound to give as a sup
porter of the motion.
Mr. Carson, said he had not heard the
previous discussion—but had come into
the House just before his name \ 'as called
upon tho questiion to lay on live table.
Understanding that if the question was
lost, the question would bo taken on the
third reading of tho bill, he had voted in
tiro negative, ns he was unxions to give his
vo.to against tho hill as soon as possible.
Mr. Sutherland suggested to the gentle-,
man from Soufh Carolina to withdraw his'
motion to refer, and permit the bill to re
main befure the House, where it could be
acted on at the pleasure of majority, with
out suspension of rules.
Mr. Root said he could not support the
bill in iis present shape—if the motion to
refer was withdrawn, lie should renew it.
It \vns accessary that the bill go to a
Committee fot the purpose of amendment.
Mr. Wayne said he should not have
oponed his lips at this time, but for the ex
ultation expressed by the gentleman from
South Carolina at tho result of the vote
just taken, as indicating a strong majority
in favor of the bill. Whatever the results
might bo, he could now point out seven
gentlemen at least who had voted against
the motion to lay on the tablp, who were
opposed to the bill from the Senate. He
was unwilling that the remark of the gen
tleman from South Carolina should go
forth to the country as the expression of
the opinion of (ho House. It was calcu
lated to produce immense injury, not only

It will bo porcoivod by' our readors,

continuing tho charter, and that authoti-
zing the signature of small hills by other
officers besides the I’residont and Cash
iers, all tlie provisions und etinctnienis of
the hill are limitations und restraints on
the Bank, or increasing its burdens. First,
as to the bonus. For tiro present charter,
and for the whole twenty years, the Bank
paid one million and a half of dollars ;
for tiro new charter, and for tho shorter
period of fifteen years, tlw Bauk tslo puy
two hundred thousand dollars a year ; that
is to say, three millions in all.
2. The circulation of small checks and
orders is prohibited.
3. All notes issued at any offico shall
be payable at that office.
•1. All tho offices aro bound to receive
the notes of ajl other offices, when offer
ed in payracut of balances due from State
banks.
5.. The very important power is rcser
vod of restraining tiro circulation of all
bills under twenty dollars. This provis
ion wan inserted for tiro alledged purpose
of giving up a largo portion of the circu
lation ot the Bank to tho State institutions,
if the Slates shall be of opinion, that tho
public good requires a withdrawal from
circulation of nil nolos under five dollars,

er portion of specie into tho general cir
culation.
6. Tlie number of Branches is limit
ed to two in uiiy one State.

bition of a few citizens, disoppoinled in
their views of aggrandizement, and their

und with their connexions and friends, tho
succession Of (ho high and lucrativo offi
ces of tho country.
To accomplish a reconciliation, and
arrange all differences, it is only necessa
ry that the people themselves, nnd not the
leaders, should take the matter in hand.
Let them do that, and tho Union is safe.
The faderd' constitution wa3 adopted by
a spirit of compromise. Mutual conces
sions wore made by the northern, middle,
and southern sections of the Union. Aud
why 1 Because it was impossible to adopt
a constitution which cunld please, insure
and advance tho exclusive interest of eve
ry section represented itfthe federal con
vention. Tiro framers of the constitu
tion were men of virtue nnd true patriot
ism. .And shall it be said, that we have
degenerated from our fathers I Sltair the
Northbe exclusively benefmed by our fed
eral legislation, to the injury and ruin of the
South l And shall the South, by its op
position to the federal laws, produce a civ
il war, secede front the Union, or dissolve
the federal compact? We hope not.—
The North ought to remember that the
satpe American feelings which animate
thom, animate us; that we have the sanro
veneration for the public institutions of
the country ; that we love the country us
much as thpy do. They ought to remem
ber that our fathers fought in the the re
volutionary war us valiantly as theirs did ;
and that in the late war with England, the
lives nnd fortunes of the peoplo ol tho
South were freely staked in the cause.
Why the selfishness manifested by the cit
izens of the North; why do they appear
disposed to render us beggars a'ttd depen
dent on them? Why persist, against the
letter and spirit of the Constitution, in a
course which is so palpably unjust, unfair,
and selfish? In short, why goad us to
desperation l i We have prido ; we liavo
strength ; we cannot funiely submit to so
many aggressions and to so much injustice.
Can they wish us to secede from th?
Union ? No. Our Northort) friends
trod brethren have been deceived by a
few designing politicians, who have led
them astray, with the vimv of obtaining
the offices for which they would sacrifice
the beat interests of their .country. Our
northern brethren begin to open their eyes
to the machinations of political adventur
ers, who have nothing to lose, and evety
thing to gain, by tho downfall of our re
public. They will come halfway, to meet
their friends of the South, who are wil
ling to forget the hostile feelings which
a series of injuries unfortunately created.
The Southern people are willing to make
concessions, for tho preservation of the
UnioD, und even for tho promotion of the
interest of the northern manufacturers.
Will a reciprocity of feeling, on this oc
casion, animate the poople of the North
and West? We hope and trust, that tho
time is near at hand, when tho people of
the several sections of the country, will

TIIL POLITICAL CRISIS,
ft must now bo acknowledged, that the
United Slates aro now placed in a critical
situation. Various and divergent inter
ests have tended to produce this state of
things. Tiro North of the Union seems
to consider tho vital interest of the South
with perfect indifference, and to aim at
all thn advantages which can be obtuined
from the federal government, to the ex
clusion of other sections. Tlie South,
feeling that it is equally entitled to the
benefits which tho federal compact is able
to confer, resents with warmth and be
coming pride, the encroachments upon
its rights, and the injuries it sustains by
tho measures adopted for the exclusive
benefit of tho North. The \V est has al
so its sepurato interest, and is ready to
join with either the North or the South ;
ns that interest is to be advituced. The
tariff and the internal improvement sys
tem havo produced this deplorable con
dition- of our federal concerns. Tlie
quostion then naturally arises—is this
state of our affairs past remedy 1 ? No.
It is not past remedy; but wo must np-
penl to the patriotism and virtuo of the
American poople, which alone can heal
the wounds that our body politic has re
ceived. Wo must appeal to the good
sense, to the wisdom, to tho interested
feelings of tho people of the North and
South aud West, for a joint effort, in or-
per to produce a reconciliation among the
citizens of the different sections of the
Union, and revive that mutual good will
pcopl
empire, will be equally encouraged’ and
protected, so sis to give that satisfaction
which will bo acceptable to patriotism aud
to generous, minds, if not to (ho ambitious
and designing.
If we did not depend on the good
souse, putiioiism, and generosity of our
northern friends, we would recommend an
immedinto secession from the Union. We
cannot approvo the doctrine of nullifica'
lion, as recommended and advocated by
the politicians of South Carolina, Mr.
Calhoun at their bond. Such a doctrine,
if put in force, would produce desolation
and internal war, without accomplishing
the desired object.’ Nullification cannot
abrogate tiro laws of Congress, and offer
nially prevent their enforcement in the
States The nullifying Siatu-cannot put
at defiance the whole force of the Union,
hould it be found expedient to employ it
to compel obedience. ' And the people ol
that nullifying Slate, in placing themselves
in opposition to a federal law, subject
themselves to trial for treason, aud to pun

By a declaration of secession, tho State
withdraws itself front fha control of the

The object of the removal of two'companies cf
U. 3. troops from Charleston to the Gold Region,
is to expel those petsons who are digging gold in

Great Purchase—By the treaty recently con
eluded at Washington City between the United
Stales and tho Creek tribo of Indians, u Reserve
of one mils square, situated immediately opposite
tho town of Columbus, and bounded by the west
ern bank of tho Chattahoochco river, was granted
in feo simple to Benjamin Marshall, a half breed
Indian. This Reset vo, from its location on tlie
Chattahoochee, at the head of steam boat naviga
tion. and its coutiguity-to Columbus, has been
supposed to possess many advantages, and to he
vory valuable. It a rts purchased of the grantee
on tho 10th inst. hy Col, Daniel McDougald, of
Harris county, and Dr. Robert Collins, of Mnr.on.
for tho sum of thirty-livo thousand dollars. The
lines, marking tho Roscrvo, havo not yet been
tun; but it. is'supposed that it will extend from the
upper limit of this town to some distance below
the centre. The bridge now constructing across
the Chattahoochee river will rest on this Reserve,
and, possibly, the ferry owned by the corporation
of Columbus may land within ite limits.
Wo loam from one of the owners, that this
property has been purchased with the view ot
establishing a town on the opposite bnhk'ofthe
Chattahoochee river, and with the design of en
joying the advantages and facilities afforded hy
the falls for milling and mannfrtctnring purposes,

have already bcon made for members of tho Con

Muscogee should be turning her attention to this
matter. Her citizens generally, we believe, are
in favor of reduction. There has been, it is true
no distinct expression of opinion on the subject!*
yet there havo been such indications of the pre-’
vailing sentiment of tho publio mind, as to leave
no room to doubt that ibis county will farther the
objects to bo attained by a Convention with great
unanimity and cordiality. Suggestions bavo
