The Providence Journal gives the names of Representatives elected from all the counties in that State, excepting five—from which it appears that 47 Whigs have been elected, and 23 Admin islra’ion men—which, with 11 majority in the Senate, makes a majority of 37 on joint ballot, “ No Changes.” The 3Vew York Star contains a list of 211 names In the Eighth ward who have renounced Van Burenisrn, and concludes the list with the omnioas words “to be continued.” Medical College. We take pleasure in calling the attention of the Southern public to this institution, a notice of which will be found in our advertising columns. The institution is said, by its friends, never to have been better adapted than at this time, for im parting instruction’in the important study of Medi cine, and its friends therefore look w ith more confi dence for a liberal patronage. They have strug gled against numerous difficulties, not among the east of Wiiich was the popular feeling for en couraging Northern institutions, and arc now ena bled to present lo Southern men as many facilities or acquiring a profession, as any similar institu tion in the country, and we trust their labors will not go unrewarded. C utting up.—When the Globe announced the false report, that Gov. W.ckliffe had abandoned the support of Harrison and joined the idol-wor shippers of Van Burenisrn, the loco papers said “the Whig majority in Kentucky would be <ut up!” Well it has been—it has been cut UP from about 3,000 to 17,000 ! We like to be cut up that way. For the Chronicle <$- Sentinel. Sayings and Doings tor the last twelve years of the Loco Foco Federal Parly; or, oar Rulers at Washington City. *’ 1 he United Slates Bank has failed to give the country a sound and uniform currency, as predicted by its friends—it is the duly of the Government to correct the evil.” I he state Banks have been found to answer @ r J expectation, the public money being deposit ed w ‘ th them—it is discounted upon and loaned to the people.” 1° separate the funds of the Government from the business of the country, i» in opposition to the genius of our free institutions.”—Go*. Jackson. Mr. Van Buren now makes his bow—full of pro mises and pledges—and certainly expected to carrv out the views of Gen. Jackson—a crisis exists all is doubt and darkness—the well ululated curren cy of the General has exploded from Maine to Loutsiana—the evil is done — the great regulators at Washington are amazed —the country becomes clamorous —an extra session is called—much talk ing—nothing done—save Mr. Calhoun swears a new allegiance —tire governors arrive at the con clusion that none but speculators and merchants have been injured—they are but a handful —the yeomanry ate the democracy—we and the yeo manry are the country. Nearly four long years pass over, and the measure of restoration to a ruin ed trade, prostrate national, state and individual credit, and depreciated value of our nroduce is Mr. Van Buren’s second “ Declaration of Indepen dence ”•—the Sub-Treasury. And from what the party say, we are bound to believe, is intended to carry out the following measures: “ To bring the Government and the people back to a gold and silver currency,” (such as Cuba has —the party cease to quote Fiance, as she is rather going into the dark ages —the credit system.)— Benton, <0 I “To ciu-e commerce and credit to peiiic. Beardsley. w *l*o reduce labor one-half.” — Buchanan. “ To bring about direct taxation payable in gohi and silver.” —ft hell. To separate the Government from the currency of the country —the Government having nothing to do with the currency—our money is gold and silver.” —The Party. These. Messrs. Editors, are some or the recent expressions and a- ts of our rulers, and so f«*r acted out, I should .'-*e to know tire f u rency Contrast the first years of Gen. Jack son’s administration with the administration of Mr. Van Buren. What do you behold —from a wel; regulated currency —(and I unhesitatingly aiseit,) never before equalled in this or any other coun try of its extent, no currency at all—and this brought about, positively produced, by the acts ox our rulers. Gea Jackson said the Bank of the United States had failed, to give us a sound and uniform currency—he felt it his duty, and the duty of the Government, to give a better —he tried —the step was bold and decisive. Down went the monster —up sprung a thousand little monsters in its stead —each governed by its own interest. . v ome were made pet-: —the good and true democratic States created many —the favors of the Govern ment were liberal —they got the means to do busi ness—and the standing orders of two Secretaries were positive, loan to the people and the old General in tire honesty of his heart, said it was contrary to the genius of the government to sepa- I rate the public money from the business of the ' country. The huge monster being now caged, all the lit tle monsters plumed their wings and took the field and the extent of circulation was tire test of good management. At last the system went to such an ; extreme in Georgia, that we soon lacked means, and were driven to a Pigeon Roost Company with , banking privileges. The General, about this time returned to the Hermitage, and in his farewell ad dress says: “ I leave this people free, prosperous and happy, beyond precedent,” and we believe the old hero thought so. Well, Messrs. Editors, this was but the flowing of the tide, urged on by ail the patronage cf the Government, ramifying its means in every direc j tion, stimulating the currency in all quarters with -1 out check or guide, and enhancing the value of all j property, from a bale of Cotton to lands in Missis- I sippi. The paper circulation now increased three , fold in four years. After a time, pay day to the foreign creditor comes, the demand we stop up ' with State bonds, (for not only the people but the * States had entered freely into speculation, and Railroads were surveyed lo bring Bacon from Cin cinnati to Charleston,) this lasts but for a moment. 1 The demand increases, the banks see the people cannot pay, the money having been laid out in ! lands,(God knows where,)negroes, stocks, factories, fkc., &,c., and they cannot pay'. They suspend, the ! government pets and all. Our rulers now ex claim what tascally institutions? Put them all ! down, and the next move on the Board, is the Sub- Treasury, that measure of taking care of them selves, for they r now say', they have nothing to do with the currency. I know General Jackson conceived it his duty to give us a better currency, than a United States Bank trad afforded, he made tho attempt and utter ly and entirely failed, and even then he repudia ted the idea of separating the interest of the Amer ican peoj Jc from theirgovernment. Mr. Van Buren has not, therefore, followed his principles. The de_ claration that the government has nothing to do with currency (the life blood of every interest,) is a gross insult to the understanding of the American I people, and does not harmonise with his professed “ loiecf the people .” The times, Messrs. Editors, call aloud for Lee men to unite. From Maine to Louisiana [distress and ruin prostrates all save the rich and the office holder. Uur Government has failed by mal-admin istration, to protect the national credit —trade, ag riculture, and manufactures, languish and pine away. Depend upon it, if the present party he con tinued in power, and Benton bo the successor, we will have no money, reduced labor,no commerce, no credit: but the Government will have the Sub- Treasury', gold and silver, 200,000 men, and then they may cease the cry of democracy. Freemen ts Georgia’ if you desire to hand down your liberty to your posterity, set aside this party of professions, teach them that the people made tho Government —let not party leaders rule you — do your oven voting. RICHMOND. Waynesboro’, August 29, 18d0. In pursuance of the following notice, “Ilstrrißon mid Tyler Free ftarbecuc. “A Barbecue will be given at Waynesboro, in Burke county, on Saturday, the 29th instant. Tire candidates composing the State Rights Electoral and Congressional Tickets, are especially invited; also, all the citizens of Burke and the adjacent counties, without any distinction of parties. Addresses may be expected from the Hon. Ju lias C. Alford, James A. Merriwether, and other distinguished citizens. The Committee. August 19, 1810.” And also special written invitations to many dit tingui,bed citizens, including the Hon. Edward J. Black, the citizens of the county assembled by hundreds; corning in, in long processions, with ban ners flying, and aDo many from ttic adjoining counties. About 12 o’clock, a c ivic procession was formed in front of the court house, under the command of Col. Thomas Moore Berrien a? Marshal, aided by Capl. Haim non Hust and Elijah Bync as assistant marshals, which marched to the rear of the Meth odist Church, where a stand was erected for the officers cf the day and speakers, and scats prepared for at least nine hundred persons, with suitable ar rangements for the ladies, a goodly number o* whom attended, and yet all could not be seated. On arriving at the stand, the meeting was called to order by Col. Berrien, when, by acclamation* the Hon. Lewis F. Powell was ca.led to preside as President, and William W. Hughes and James H. Royals as Vice Presidents. Mulford Marsh and William U. Sturges we re appointed Secretaries. The business of the day was then opened by a solemn and fervent in vocation to the Great Rulei of the universe, by the Rev. Mr. Ward. The meeting was then addressed in strains ol eloquence and argument unanswerable, clearly and forcibly showing the corruptions of the presenl administration, its departure Lorn republican prin. ciplcs, and its rapij tendency to monarchy, and pointing out the remedy to be at the ballot box in November next, in electing Gen. William Henry Harrison to the Presidency, who has proven to be a patriot in whom there was no guile, by the folio w in& gentlemen: Hon. Roger L. Gamble, of Jeffer son. Maj. George W. c rawford, William T. Gould % -i and Charles J. Je'nkjpf, E-:qrs. ; and by Mr. John \V. V,‘aikci,the hard working and honest mechanic, of Augusta. d During an inSermissKui, at 3 o clock, the meet ng, partook of a handsomely furnish.ed barbecue, pre y ! pared by Messrs. Fryer and Antony, in the old g Virginia style, improved by the introduction oi d cold water a? the only drink. The following preamble and resolutions were t offered by Major M. Mais’.i, and unanimously 5 adopted. The time being at hand when it w ill be the duty > - and as yet the high privilege, of the citizens of the • United States to choose a President, it becomes : them to make known their opinions in relation to ) the powers of the general government, and to elect the man President who will carry out their opm ' ions, and administer the government according m 1 what they believe to be a fair and legal construe ? tion of the Constitution of the United states. WE, therefore, the CITIZENS of the COUNT \ ’ of BURKE, assembled in general meeting , to which all parties were cordially invited, DO HOLD THESE POLITICAL TRUTHS; 1 That the general government is one of limited powers, having only such powers as are expiessly granted by the Constitution ot the L nited States, including such other pow’ers as are necessity and proper to carry out those powers expressly granted. I We hold the cotemporancous exposition cf u? Constitution, as administered by Washington, Jef ferson, Madison and Monroe, to be a true, correct and legal exposition of that instrument. That a large STANDING ARMY is ANTI-RE PUBLICAN. would endanger (he liberties of the j people, and the institutions bequeathed us by our [ forefathers. That the President of the United States cannot, constitutionally, command the Militia of the Uni ted States, except when called into the actual ser vice of the United States. That any Act of Congress giving the Presi- j dent the command of the Militia when called out for the purpose of drill and instruction, would be unconstitutional, null and void, notwithstanding it might expressly declare, they should be deemed in the service of the United States. That the proposition to place the MILITIA, ! when called out for the purpose of drill and in struction, under the RULES AND ARTICLES OI WAR, is one of the most INSULTING AND TV j RANICAL, which could be made to A FREE AND i ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE. We hold that the Government was formed fur the benefit of the People, and not for the benefit | of the office-holder?, whom we hold to be the peo ples servants. Therefore, we cannot sanction the decree that has gone forth, that the People expect too muchfrom the Government .” We hold that an Administration which provides a currency only for its office-holders, is unworthy the confidence and support of a free People —and more especially when IT LEVIES A WAR A- G A INST THE PEOPLE’S CURRENCY, THEIR COMMERCE AND THEIR CREDIT ; and these we charge upon the PRESENT ADMINISTRA TION. We hold that a PAPER CURRENCY founded upon a SUBSTANTIAL SPECIE BASIS, under propel guards and restrictions, is the true cur rency or our country, and the one under which : our country was prosperous. We hold that all laws should emanate from the People, thiough their Representatives ; and that the President is not their Representative in that sense. | The creation of a NATIONAL DEBT in time of peace, is unprecedented in the history of our coun try and we consider it an evidence of a profligate Administration. That the Constitution of the Unite! States was the effect of mutual compromise , by which the INSTITUTION of SLAVERY was expressly re cognized and guaranteed to the South ; we, there fore, hold that Congress has no poueer over it, and cannot in any way interfere with the rights of the owners ; so that we must consider that man, who “ with the lights before him, is not prepared to say that Congress cannot constitutionally abolish slave ry in the District of Columbia is not sufficiently informed as to the Constitutional powers of Con gress, to be President of the United states. W c do therefore Resolve, That Martin Van Burc-n is not entitled to our suppoit for the office of Pre sident, as we believe him wanting in the princi ples, and guilty of the clu-rges we have set forth, i Resolved, That whereas we do believe that Gen. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON maintains gen erally the principles we have set forth, and also holds as we do, that a PRESIDENT SHOULD | SERVE BUT ONE TERM ; and that he is a true | and honest patriot, who has not only risked his life for his countj y, hut who also offered up his political ; popularity upon the altar of our country In sus i laming the interests and rights of the South, and the perpetuity of the Federal Constitution — that under his administration v;e may hope to see our Government brought hack to its republican simp.'i cily, and our people once more happy and prosper ous : we will therefore use all fair and honorablo means fund none other J to elect him President of the United Mates, and we earnestly rati upon every friend of our country to join us in rescuing the Government out from hands of the spoilers. On motion of Col. Berrien— Resolved, The the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the President, Vice Presidents, and Secretaries, and forwarded to the Chronicle & Sen tinel for publication, with a request that the papers in the State, friendly to the cause, give them an insertion. On motion the meeting then adjourned. LEWIS F. POWELL, President. Wilmam W. Hughes, j ... James H. Royal, y lce Tres’ts. 5 Mulford Marsh, j c , . . - Wm. U.

We are indebted to an esteemed friend at -St. Marys for the following particulars of Indian murders in Georgia and Florida and which vve have already noticed in our columns. We trust that .he Governor has already been apprized of these enormities anil authorized such measures as will lead to the exemplary punishment of the savage invaders. It is heait rending to hear ot such deeds being enacted, and to prevent a repe tition we think the whole disposable force ot the country should be collected in Florida. From a Cot respondent. St. Marts. (Ga.) August 24 IS4O. I am very sorry to inform you that the savage j Indians are again in our county. Last week, on j the Suwannee river, they killed eleven individuals and burned the same number of settlements, I j derived ray information from Mr. James Howell, j formerly ot Camoen county, and one of the unfor tunate sufferers, having had his wife and one child butchered. I proceed to give you all the information obtained from him relative to the j murders, depredations, See. committed on the Suwannee and St. Marys river duringihe last two weeks. “About ten days since, or possibly two weeks, they made an attack upon the family of Mr. “Courcy,” (who was himself absent from home at the time, having left his wife and six children in the morning of the day, enjoying health and every comfort,) hut what must have been his j feelings on his return that evening, to find his : dwelling and every house on the place, a mass of smoking ruins, and his wife with six small chil dren, K ing about his field, shot down in attempt ing to escape, and thoir bodies horribly mutilated. He lived on “Brandy branch,” (I think) one of j the head branches of St. Marys River, in I‘lorida. The wretches then struck across for a large ! settlement of farmers on the Huwaune in search ; of other victims in that neighborhood, as this set j tlement had never been the scene of their hut ; cheries. A Mr. Daniel Green, who had removed from i Camden the last year, and Mr. Howell lived very i near each, other their farms adjoining. These j persons with several others had concluded to erect ■ a school house in the centre of the settlement for the education of their children, and had left their homes in the morning to continue their work. Mr. Howell states that between ter: and eleven o’clock, he heard the crack of several rifles, accom panied with the yells of the Indians, immediately in the direction of his bouse. Ifc mounted his horse and dashed for his home, halted about one hundred yards from his house and dicovered the Indians in his yard who fired at him. as did sever al others ; n the field apparently searching for his children, who had escaped and secreted them selves in a cane patch. In casting his eyes about I ho discovered three of them jumping over the ! fence some hundred or two hundred vards distant . from him,—He immediately run and seized them I up on his horse and made his escape, the Indians yelling and pursuing like devils after. His poor wife and one child (she being in a state of preg nancy) were overtaken and slaughtered. Casting his eyes towards Mr. Green’s place, he perceived every building on fire; the scene rendered more and more terriflac by the yells of the savages rejoicing over their butchered victims and their destruction of property. He learnt on reaching a place of security not far off, that Mrs. Green and one of her children had been killed, which information he derived from a settlor approaching with Miss Chanty Green on horseback (whom he had res cued) she having been very severely wounded by a rifle ball through her shoulder and covered with blood, and in a few moments would have been overtaken by the Indians, as she was completely exhausted from blood. This news was soon spread in every direction the next day, and the families living on St. Marys river collected at Fort Moniac (a post on the river recently occupied by U. S. Troops, hut which had been abandoned some months) to de fend themselves.—They occupied the soldier’s quarters around the stockade. On the evening of the 19th, the Indians ap proached very near, without the knowledge of any one, and whilst Mrs. Patrick was preparing a bed for her little children, was fired at from the win dow, and fell dead on the bed in front ot her fath er. An attack was then made simultaneously on all the houses by the infernal devils. Mr. Thomas Davis, of our county, and two of his children were killed, and their bodies consumed in the building which was set on fire—as was the case with every other except the picket, whither all rushed for the preservation of their lives. Mr. Patrick who was the bearer of the express, and with whom I conversed, informed me as he rush ed for the picket, bearing the dead body of bis daughter, he was fired at four or five times, but luckily escaped. 'The Indians were then driven off by the men in the Fort. Mr. A. Jernakin killed one as he was seen to fall and was borne olf. They continued to fire at the Fort, and kept up a.i incessant yelling du.ing the night. A parly was, however, sent off very soon to the plantation of Mr. Hogan, about half a mile dis tant, and in a short lime every building on the place was wrapt in flames and completely des troyed. The next day the Indians crossed into Cam den county, burnt the place of the unfortunate Davis, a Mr. Mincey’s and several others. You can form no idea of the panic and distress which now prevail in our cnunPy. Every man in the upper part of the county has left his home, or are collecting at points to defend themselves and families, leaving their crops and e»ery thing they possess, exposed to the ravages of the ene my. Gen. Floyd, upon hearing of the outrage on the Suwannee, with his known promptitude, or dered Capt. Tracy to collect a company of fifty men, aud afford protection to our frontier settle ments. That company has been raised and this mo.ning left Centreville for the scene of outrage. As soon as he learns of the other murders and depredations committed in Camden, 1 doubt not he will order out a large foice. ihe families who had collected at “Moniac” abandoned the place shortly after the attack of the Indians and assembled at Mr. Jemakin’s, con sidering it a better place of security, and two eve nings since the stockade was burnt by the ene my. Two travellers informed me that they pass ed within five miles of it, and discovered an im mense fire in that direction. Lieut. May ot the 2nd Dragoons with a de tachment of men is at this time in pursuit, and I hope either himself or the volunteers under Capt. 'Tracy may fall in with them. 1 By the steamer Forrester, Capt, Wray, we have received the Jacksonville Advocate of Tues day last. From it we make extracts. We have also received from a correspondent Et Jacksonville a letter dated August 29th, 1840. After alluding to the murders in Georgia, al ready detailed, our correspondent writes: “ We have also a report that Indian signs have been seen seven and nineteen miles from this place. At the latter distance their camps have been discovered. “ 1 o meet the present emergency Gen. Amis tead has ordered 100 men in detachments of twen- r V n U r nleCr and rf S ular force, forth with to the Okefenoke lor a three months cum- MonDc A °* lhCir du,y is lo rebuild Fart S T rently rc T orted here that the V -.depot is to he drought hack to Garey’s Ferry. ! he reason assigned is the impracticability of its establishment at Pila'ka. 3 “Jty; !0C ! ty’"- 1 " ow employed on the pnb iLT, I “° r |,lac '- si ’"r •"> on the k hst, and appearances indicate an iucreap*. ; In addition to which the recent lajns have rcn- I dered it impossible to work the public road. “ The aforegoing is all the new c ' tliis place.” J -.CKSOXVILtR, August 25. From our correspondent Newxanstili.k, August 13.—Again it bc ! comes my painful duty to inform you ofthe mur -1 der of another of our citizens. I will give you ' the particulars as I heard them from a yong man : who arrived here last night from the scene of ac i lion. Mr. Samuel Smart, and Mr. James Lan j ier, both young men, were in then held at I'oit i Tarver guarding their negroes, who were gather- I ing fodder. This was in the afternoon of Wed j nesday, the 12th inst. A little before sunset the I young men strolled towards the hamrnoc. which entirelv surrounded the held, where there were some water-melons, and while in the act of ea ting one, were fired on from the hamrnoc hy In dians; ouc ball passing through the body of Mr. Smart, and killing him almost instantly. Mr. Lanier was severely wounded, but succeeded in ! making his escape. The Indians look from Mr. Smart a line litie, aud powder horn and some silver change. The death of Mr. Smart is very much lamented by all who knew him. He was about 23 years of age, a native of the State of Mississippi, and for the la t eight years, a resident of this county. In addition to the above, we learn from the Newnashville mail Carrier, that on the evening of the 13th, two Dragoons with their horses were killed near Mclntosh’s Plantation, about ten mile, east of Micanopy. On the morning of the loth, Indians were seen from the top of a house at Fort Crane, in a field near that post. 1 hey num bered about sixty, anu were apparently celebra ting their victory. They held up, and danced | around a rifle or gun, which was recognized lo ! lie that taken from Smart. These no doubt were 1 the same that killed the Dragoons. Since the above was in type, we have seen a 1 gentleman from Newnansville, who was one of I the parly' that went after the body of Smart Ho ! also saw the trail of the Indians that killed the j dragoons. He slates it to be his belief that the { party that murdered Smart was entirely distinct ! from that which murdered the Dragoons. He think; there were about a hundred in each par ty. He is a gentleman of some experience in these matters, whose judgment may be relied on. The Millcdgeville Recorder of Tuesday states, that the Governor has directed Gen. Hilliard f Q order into the service of the State, two compa nies, and authorized him to call out more if ne cessary'. Hi.s. Excellency.-das likewise—appoin cd Gen. Nelson lo the command of the troops who left Millidgevill on Monday for the scene of hostilities. From the Southern Recorder. Gkstlkmkx :—ln looking over my fil? of the National Inielligcner, I find in the paper No. 4173, dated the 15th April, 1830, on the first page and sixth column, the following language, contained in a speech of Felix Grundy : “ Mr. President: The subject of slavery has been introduced into this debate. This is charged upon lire slaveholding Stales, by some as a mis fortune, by others as a crime. Were the question submitted to me, whelhcr slavery should be intro duced, 1 should unhesitatingly decide against it; for such is my devotion to liberty and the rights of man, that I would have no agency in subject ing the person or will ofonemanto the dominion of another.” After some remarks, denying that the slave holding States had any hano in bringing the slaves to this country, but charging it upon the Eastern States, he says:— “ 1 name not this byway of reproach on the great body of the population, but the avarice and cupidity of some of their citizens prevailed over considerations of justice and humanity. lam no advocate fur slavery. I wish success to the exertions of the Philanthropists of all the States who are engaged in ameliorating the condition, and laboring lo restore this unhappy race to the land of their fathers; and should another Mo-es rise up and lead them peaceably to a distant land ot liberty and plenty, would not join in pursuit lo bring them back.” Such was the language of this venerable Dem ocrat, (certainly no abolitionist.) Is he not in the language of Harrison an ardent friend of hu man liberty, wishing success to the exertions of the Humane Society, of which Harrison was a member, in ameliorating the condition and pro curing tho freedom of slaves. I think lie goes furlherthan Harrison, Madison, Jefferson, Mon roe, Washington, Patrick Henry, and others. The three first seemed to think that the proceeds of the public lands in which all the Stales are equally interested, might be appropriated to the purpose mentioned. But if Mr. Grundy’s se cond Moses would take the slaves off to a land of liberty and plenty, without any contributions from the benevolence of others, or compensation to their holders, he would not follow after them. It was stated by a highly respectable democrat from the county of Butts, in a discussion at this place, that Granger of New York, who was rim with Harrison at the last election for Vice Prcsi-• dent was an abolitionist. 1 send you a paper con taining a speech of Mr. Granger in 1835, of which you will please publish such parts as are to that point. By so doing, yon will lemove an im pression made on the public mind, and confer a favor on \ our oL’t. serv’t. - M". Granger, of New York, rose and said • Speaker, I liseto protessl against the manner in which the names of these petitioners have been confounded with the abohtionists ot the North. They are men of as pure hearts, and pure lives, as any gentleman of South Carolina—they are men to whom the Constitution of this country is as sacred as it is the inhabitants of the South, and who willraily in its defence with a spirit and power equal to that which was brought lo its aid by that gallant people. Sir, I hold the abolition ists of the North in no higher respect than do the gentlemen from Carolina, or from any o.her section of the country. There are manv of them tor whose motives I have no respect ; there are others whose motives are honest; but to whom misguided as they are, I would say, stay your hand ; you must not “ scatter fiiebrands, arrows and death, and say—we are in sport.” * ***** # “ Sir, who arc these petitioners 1 They are persons who, looking to the letter » f the Consitu lion of their country, and finding there that Con gress has the right of exclusive legislation fortius District, and not looking beyond that to the grants ol cession of the States of Virginia and Mary land, to see under what reservations (hose grants were made and accepted ; and without stopping to ask the still more important question, whether the residents of the District of Columbia require any mteiference. suppose that Congress have a right to legislate upon this subject. * “ Differing as Ido from many of my constituents, I have never entertained hut'onc opinion, and that is, that cv< n if the censtitn l.onal right exits, which I doubt stron-dy there .s no questmn of policy now existing which should call for legislation on this subject.” Ml- 1 r 1| ( OALIT,ON ” AND ITS fruits.—When Mr. -alhoun abandoned his principles and coa lesced wuh those whom his organs had described .. » i . o ®. uc ® an ’* loyalists,” his friends predicted a as influence would unite tho whole South m the support of Mr. Van Buren.

The wall fell in witn a crash into the rive/ “ crushing several small wooden buildings, jj ’ ‘ the great exertions of the firemen, wb« were V the river up to their necks playing with the ; * ■ pipes, the fire was prevented from extending ! but one of the firemen, Mr. George B.

The sufferers arc Mr. Curtis, cloil° ! store, £3000; Burtis, stove factory; Strong „i ov * j and whip do ; Foster, grist mill; Colby, machine I shop, etc. The destruction of so much machine | ry was a great loss. i The Journal of Commerce thus illustrates the j character of the Sub-Ti e isury Scheme, f rom ! practical operation in New York;—• Sl ii-Tukasuu v.— r i he operation of fl ie g u [ Treasury Law at the Custom House, shows very • strikingly the absurdity of going back lo the dark ages for principles of political economy. The j Cashier of the Custom House is now obliged to * j require one quarter of all sums to he paid j ri , s , x . 5 j cie; and in making payments, to pay out coin in : ! the same proportion. There is no money re. 1 j maing in the treasury, of course, for the demands ; upon the government are more than equal to its t receipts. Whoever has anything to pay, must f j go to the Bank with his check, and then,'requit ' ing one fourth m coin, lug it to the (’ustom House. The rn.au who has a claim on the Cus toms, is compelled to take the specie and carry it back to the Bank. A porter now is an es/rn lial officer in all large transactions, and a wheel- C barrow for those of extra size. A thousand sil- c ver dollars weigh over sixty pounds. We do c not perceive the least influence on the currency \ * of the country in any general sense, consequent I upon this mode of doing business. The extia I £ labor is absolutely and entirely thrown away. I r It is a burden imposed upon citizens for no pos sible good. If the law required that every man who paid money at the Custom House, should ' for every six thousand dollars so paid, carry a f “ fifty six” acros«« the room, and that peisons ie- ' F ceiving money should in the same proportion carry the weights back again, the effect on the It currency would be just the same in both cases. Si To us it appears not ridiculous merely, but a!- ' most wicked, lo throw away the benefits of any of those modern discoveries which facilitate ac tion and secure accuracy. Each of these dis- V covenas does something to increase the sum of t human happiness. A contrivance which saves L lime in counting money, has the same influence -Ip with one who saves time in shipping cotton, or K in passing from one place to another; and it is no less unwise to compel people to relinquish the facilities they have contrived in making pay- |[ meats, than it would be to compel them to leave the rail roads and travel one quarter of their j turticys by stage coaches or wagons. Make the Banks pay specie, or rather let the whole mallet il of regulating currency alone, taking nothingfor M: government dues but “specie or its equivalent.” But let us do tilings in the simplest and easiest way which will produce the right result. *J On the 2Glh Sept. 1833, Mr. Taney, under the I direction of Gen Jackson, thus writes lo the Presi dent of the Girard Bank: |t “The deposites of the public money will enable you to afford increased facilities to commence ami 4B to extend your accommodations to individuals; and as the duties which arc payable lo the Gov- Jjb} crnnient arise from the business and enterprise Sp of the merchants engaged in foreign trade, it is but reasonable they sould he preferred in the ad- B r ditional accommodations which the public depos- ites will enable your institution lo give, whenever HI it can be done without injustice lo the claims of jH other classes of the community. * < Yours &c. R. B. TANEY. “To the Pres’t Girard Bank of Philadelphia.' Extract from Mr. Taney’s leitei lo the Presi dent of the Portland Bank, Maine: “The deposites of the public money will enable t you to afford increased facilities lo the commercial J and other classes of the communitv. and this de- I partment anticipates from you the adoption ol I 1 such a course, respecting your accommodations, I us will be acceptable lo the people and safe to I the Government.” Ciiculars containing these instructions were B sent lo ail the banks. It will thus he I perceived that Slate Banks were stimulated and urged lo make loans on the public deposites.
