Mr. Webster’s Speech— Continued. \
I have said my visit to Europe lost much of its
pleasure by reason of the gloomy accounts from
the United States, and I confess I was m ich de
pressed both as to the commercial and political
condition of the country. Icou'd perceive no dis
position cn the part of those in power to grow
wiser or better, and although I knew there was a
numerous and able party opposed to them, I yet
feared, that lor want of union as to measures and
candidates, their efforts to bring about a change
would be ineffectual. When then,off this coast, I
heard of the Harrisburg Convention, and of the
nomination so unanimously made —the best th 't
could have been—l was again encouraged. And
when I saw, notwithstanding the pre
ferences of some were disappointed, that the nom
ination vv s received with unanimity, which has
since swelled into enthusiasm, I felt once more
that the country was likely to be extricated from
her difficulties, and restored to wonted prosperity.
I will say a few words on the Suo-Trcasury.
This appears to me a scheme new to our history,
and foreign to our habits ; the last of a scries of
baffled experiments ; an expeiimcnt into which
the representatives of the people seem to me to
have been lashed by Executive power; fatigued
into by appliances and importunities, through four
mortal sessions of Congress. What are the a., gu
ments in fs vor of the bill? The leading one of
Mr. Van Buren, in 1837, was the safety of the
public funds. The Treasure was to be kept where
rogues should not run away with it. The best
way to effect that is, not to trust rogues to keep
it: but, as to the parade of safes and vaults, it is
i a.l a mockery. i don’t know in which of these
Banks the Receiver General keeps his money.
(Here, here, said many voices from the porch of the
Bank of America.) Well, be it so —and I under
take to say, that if he has any special vaults or
safes there, they are no whit more secure than
those in which the Bank keeps i s own funds.
Who and what is this I of the Government? Is
not the Government a public trust, and agency ?
An individual may put monies in vaults —but the
Government is not a private person, having pock
et' of his own. It must employ o.beers, it must
trust somebody. My colleague in the Senate,Mr.
Wright, says the object is to keep the money by
agents of tire people more directly responsible to
the people iban heretofore. How is the lact ? The
Receiver General is appointed by the Presidentand
Senate, is amenable to the law, gives bonds for the
faithful execut on of his office. In what doss
he differ as to responsibility from the Collec
i tor, who is appointed in like manner, answerable
, in like manner to the law, and gives bonds in Ukc
manner ? How, then, is the one more directly re
sponsible to the people than the other ? ihe pre
r tence is destitute of sense cr reason. And so as
to the safety of the funds. The vaults and safes
in which they are placed, are no belter or more
secure than those of the Banks, The Receiver
General be e, is, I doubt not, a very respectable
man, and las given good security; but why or
how are tire funds in his vault safer than if in a
bank vault ? The common sense of the communi
ty will de«i;le this point. Suppose Mr. Allen were
to-morrow to advertise to receive deposits in his
vaults—would they, think you, be filled to the
emptying of the vaults of banks responsible in
their whole capital and credit fur the safe-keeping
of such dope'its ? Instead of rendering them safer,
I say the present system endangers Bhe public
funds, for in multiplies the chances of evil. Mr.
Hoyt collects tho monies—but they are paid out by
Mr. Allen, on whom drafts from the Treasury aie
drawn Now, the Collector, if not honest, can
spend the nroney before paying it over to the Re
ceiver; and so, once in the hands of the Receiver,
he, if not honest, can spend it before it is drawn
out by the Treasury. You double the chances of
loss, by doubling the hands that touch the money, i
Then as to the promised infusion of specie into
the currency by the operation of this bill, —what
ir there in this ? According to its provisions, one
quarter of tie duties is now payable in specie:.yet |
if one of you have a bond to pay at the Custom
House, if he goes to tne Collector with a check
certified as payable, one fourth in specie, and the
residue in Lank bills, does he not lake it. (Yes
from many voices.) Well, then, all this specie
talk is mere -ham. But suppose you go to the Re
ceiver General with a draft. He pays you in bills
of the Bunk of America, —but where is the specie ?
He wiil doubtless, if you exact it, give you specie,
but habitually' the payment is in bills ; and then I
ask, where is all this movement of specie, this
marching and countermarching of gold and silver
that was to dazzle our eyes ? It is all humbug
(loud cheers ) But your Collector, where does he
put hig money before it gets into the Receiver s
vaults ? Why, fellow citizens, as lam informed,
m a bank of cuiaavory name, the Bank of the Uni
ted States, —and when he pays over, he pays no
specie.
Then, as to the divorce of Bank and State —what
in fact is it ; Is not the greater part, I wiU not
say the whole, for I suppose the Receiver keeps
some in his vaults ; but is not the greater part of
all th; money of the government now absolutely in
the keeping of the banks ? I believe it is. You
collect from individuals and pay to individual agents
of the Government, and they forthwith pav Rant©
banks —and, therefore, instead of there being a
divorce, the connection is become rather more inti
mate than ever, and like other illicit connections,
a great deal more secret.
This is called an Independent Treasury: inde
pendent of nothing but public opinion and public
supervision ; and the pretended separation between
the Government and the Banks is all a sham. But
although a sham now, the authority to demand
specie when all dues to the Government shall be
payable in coin, will be a most dangerous one. if
the revenue snail ever again come to its former a
mount, and our commerce resume its activity, it
wall be in t're power of the Receiver General, at
this place, to break every solvent bank; and if
this be true of New York and the sea board, it is
more emphatically true of the banks at the West,
where the re< eipts at the land offices are large.
And this bill, professing to render the Treasury
independent cd the banks—how independent you
have seen —is called a second Declaration of In
dependence—Now, so far as Banks are concerned,
the law authorizing the issue of Treasury Notes
ought to be called the third Declaration" of Inde
pendence. How does that render us independent
ot banks ? 1 will tell you. At this moment about
two mill.ons of these notes, bearing interest, are
lying in that and that bank, (pointing to different
bank houses within lus eye,) sold to these banks,
with authority to the Treasury to draw for the a
mount thereof.—and these drafts arc so arranged
that the banks make a very reasonable —not to say
a very unreas nable, amount of interest upon these
notes before they are called upon to pay the cost
thereof. We had before us the accounts of a bank
that bad taken a large amount of Treasury Notes
bearing interest, and credited the Government,
with the lace of them, and paying the drafts oi
Government as presented, that appeared by that
single operation to have made a piolitof from s>o
to 100,000 —and this is the mode in which the
third Declaration of Independence of the banks
works. Ot the live millions of the Treasury Notes
last authorized, 1 repeat, above two millions are
now in banks ol this city, and I know not how
much more in banks in Boston and elsewhere--
drawing interest while the money is not all advan
ced. This is the financial skill and economy of
the Treasury,—this the divorce from, and inde
pendence of, Banks.
The fashior now is, since Mr. Calhoun, followed
by the gentlemen who usually follow him, gave
the signal, to discredit paper money as much as
possible They avow tnis tube their object. Who
can foretell the evil consequences of seeking,
i through the Custom House, tiie Post-Office, and
the Land-i offices, to throw doubt and discredit up
on bank papci ? The refusal to receive, and the
attempt to discredit, this circulation, is, in fact, a
power to brea,c solvent banks, but it is not a power
or means to compel insolvent ones to perform their
duties. The demand of specie on the notes of spe
cie paying bai ks may break tiem,butsuch demand
passi s unnheeoed by those who do not pay specie,
but it is maim allied by Mr. V\ right, that no danger
is to be apprehended from this source, for that a sum
not exceeding live millions of dollars will perform
all the functions of receipts and expenditures by
the Government. We do noi know upon what
estimates of revenue or expenditure Mr. Wright
founds this ca culation. He does not tell us whe
ther he expects the thirty nine millions es annual
expenditure, u mer Mr. Van Buren. will be brought
down to the kirteen millions ©f the piodigal ad
ministration o; J. Q. Adams; nut he insists that
live me lions will accomplish all that is required.
Well lake it at live millions, and what ;hen r Why,
tive millions in specie is equal to the full average*
moii ty oi all thespecie in your city banks ? Wnat
then, would i c the effect upon them of the a: cumu
lation of five millions of specie in the hands of the
Receiver ?
i Another main argument for the Sub-Treasury. J
according to Mr. Wright, is, that it prevents ban s j
from discounting on the public monies, and there
fore the necessity of Receivers General, who shail
keep it locked up until wanted for the public ser
vice. He traces fluctuations in our currency to
the use made by banks of the public monies, and
desires that these maybe restrained. But it only
five mill ions will be in the j.oss*ssion of the Re
ceivers, can that sum suffice those fluctuations?
Can five millions, absent or present, affect the gen
eral d'seounts, circulation, and busincssof the coun
try f The argument of the Senator do not coin
cide or stand together. The only difference he
'ays between the late and present svstem of keep
ing the public monies is, that instead of the Hank
of America, Stephen Allen keeps them, so that they
ernotbe used for banking purpoes. But what
then becomes of the specie concern if this be the
only difference ? I will not detain you any longer
on the practical operation of the Sub-Treasury so
far as regards Ihe recepits and exoenditures of the
public, you understand its effects and operations to
the whole scheme is, that it not only makes no pro
vision for, but professedly abandons all inteiestjn
and concern about, the currency of the country.—
This is the cardinal, decisive ob ection, which is
to determine the fate of the present Administra
tion.—This question ha« now been so long before
the country, so fequenlly,discussed, that 1 will not
go into it anew. The people are competent to
judge of it for themselves, and that judgement will
I apprehend, soon be promulgated.
One topic more 1 desire to advert to before fin
ishing. We have the happiness under the benign
permission of Providence, to live in a countiy ol
which we may be proud for many reasons. Proud
of its liberty, of the public spirit and enlightened
patriotism of our fellow-citizens ; proud al.>o, and
most proud, of the public morality, sound faith,
substantially coirect morals, that hive distinguish- j
ed the administration of our affairs, and the con
duct of the countiy, since it took its place among
the nations of the earth.
Among the evils most threatening now are at
tacks upon this moral charactei, this high faith,
which have distinguished us, and in virtue of
which we have maintained our high standing a
mongst nations. Sentiments have been broached
that strike at the very foundation of oursocial and
political system. I speak not now of do trines
promulgated in any one Slate, that a man has no
right to leave his own property, acquired by his
own labor and industry, to his own children —and
other like absurdities —but I refer to the doctrines
maintained here and e.sewhere, that no set of men
can bind those who are to come after them, that
no Legislature can bind its successors, nor make
and contract which another Legislature may not
repeal. One generation not bind their successors !
Who shall maik the lines that separate genera
tions ? These change daily, hourly. This Ameri
can community when I began to address vou, was
composed in part, of men not now in existence,
ai id is composed in part of others not then in exis
tence. How abhorrent is this doctrine to the great
general principle, that although individuals may
flourish or decay, States are immortal. Great po
litical sovereignties and communities are ever
young, ever green, ever identical. Individuals may
change, as the atoms of our bodies change, but
communities continue to exist, as oui bodies do —
with this exception, that whereas, we know our
bodies are mortal, and that there is a time appoint
ed for all the living, and that we must all return
to the dust from which we sprang, our country will
sui vive. and at that last moment of our mortal ex
istence, the thought of it will still dwell m our
hearts, and the aspiration go up, that she may be
Immortal.
(Mr. Webster then sat down amid cheers oft
and again repeated.)
i ■
* This may be nearly accurate in the present
condition of the Banks, when they are overbur
dened with specie; but generally speaking, five
I millions are equal to the whole amount of specie
held by oar City Banks. They resumed specie paj'-
ments upon five and a half millions. This, there
fore, greatly strengthens Mr. Webster’s argument.

A witness Called Against Harrison*
The Globe of Tuesday has several columns of
labored remark, and far fetched extracts, intended
to induce the opinion that General Harrison w a *
not the “real hero” of Tippecanoe. The Glooe’s
principle witness in this generous and patriotic
effort, Duane’s Philadelphia Aurora, of 1812 ; and
the burden of its testimony consists of a string of
interrogatories, the principal object of which is to
exalt Col. Boyd, as the “real hero” and great
man of the day, rather than particularly to depress
or disparage Gen. Harrison.
Il the Globe relies upon the testimony of the*
editor of the Aurora, rather than on the character
of the paper itself, the Globe should inform Ule
people that Mr. Duane was about the period in.
question, a political malcontent, and general fa ilt
linder. His paper was no longer the organ of the
democratic, or war party, is Pennsylvania—lav
ing been superceded by the “Democratic Pr.iss”'
—hence, no doubt, his sharp criticisms upon,
many of the leading men, and important measures
of the day 8o much for the temper of his adi*-
lorial criticisms of the period. As to judgement
of the editor of the Aurora, if that boa poinfiup
on which the Globe relies, in making good the
Aurora srt’ctures on ihe military conduct of <3en.
Harrison ; it would be but fair to tell, that ihe
aforesaid editor, was at the period in question,.not
only a supporter of the hypothesis that Gea. Buyd*.
was the author of Junius’ letters, hat a jirm..
believer in Redhtjfier's Perpetual Motion, whibhi
he pronounced in the Aurora of 1812, the th.rril
“great trophy of American genius.”
To ail that might be urged however honestly,,
by such a witness, against the military capacity
of Gen’l Harrison, the friends of the veteran—
the people—either then or now, would hardly
deem it necessary to reply. It will be readiiy un
derstood. that one who, had firm faith in Ked
heffer’s (or any other man’s) Perpetual Motion,
would not be the sort of person likely to have
faith in Gen, Harrison. The faith in one case
would hardly be consistent or reconcileable with
faith in the other. He who had firm faith in Red
heffer, and could, time after time, pronounce his
■errant imposture a great trophy of American gen
ius—a “real” discovery—might well have some
fleeting “doubts” about the character and services
of Wm. H. Harrison.
But it it be the character of the paper itself,
upon which the Globe relies, when citing the
Philadelphia Aurora, against General Harrison,
it is sufficient, and more than enough, to state that
it was this same Aurora, that rejoiced when the
administration of Washington was brought to
a close, and declared that the dat which ended
the official term of the Father of his Country,
ought to he “held as a Jubilee” throughout the
land ! The censures of a paper which thus spoke,
of Washington, could hardly work much injury
to Gen. Harrison.
So much for the Globe’s testimony of To.es
day, against the able and faithtul Harrison, vrilh
a view to serve the cause of the spoilers. Its no
go — as the “whole world” will tell the author of
this extra effort to injure the cause of the peo
ple, through their chosen candidate.
Major Gen. Sir James McDonald, of the British
army arrived in thiscity on Saturday, in thestea
mer North America, from St. John, and took.lodg
ings at the T remont House. This gallant officer
is Colonel of the regiment of Coldstream Guards,
now in Canada. No man in the army has at
tained a higher elevation of character in alt those
rare qualities which constitute the soldier ami the
gentleman. The Duke of Wellington decided
that the prize of live thousand pounds sterling,
which was left by the will of some gentleman to
be bestowed upon the officer who signalized him
self for bravery above all others at the latile of
Waterloo, should be awarded to Sir James Mc-
Donald.— Boston Atlas,

To the Ingenious.— The following liberal re
ward, for the exercise of successful ingenuity, in
certain specified cases, is from the Philadelphia
Star. It is worthy the attention of ail the faith
ful, and especially of those who, with Amos Ken
dall, have any fancy for the “excitement of com
petition,” superadded to a strong and creative im
agination, in regard to facts :
One Thousand dollars Premium. —The

the most philosophical and learned essay in con
firmation of the following fuels.

2d. 'i'hat irredeemable bank notes are prefera
ble to those which can be converted into specie

3d. 7 hat bank checks are cheaper at six per

4th. 'i’hat it is more Democratic for the Presi

ot Congress, than to conform to it.
sih. i’hat the disfranchisement of a State

6th. 7’hat no man can be a Democrat unless
he opposed Madison and supported Clinton for the

7th. That no man is qualified for the Presi

UfFORTAXT ARREST AXI) SINGULAR DISCLO
SURE. — On Satu r day an individual named ’.den
ry Stith, was arrested by Levin H. Smith, on in
formation received by Willis H. Blaney, that Stith
was concerned in an extensive robbery at Boston
some twelve or fifteen months since.—The amount
stolen exceeded SIO,OOO. It was taken from an
iron safe at the Pearl street House, the prop. ie
tor of which house had the charge of it.
On his examination this morning before Recor
der Rush, it appeared that this same individual
had been arrested on Friday, on the charge of
stealing from a Hotel in New York, two gold
watches and $l5O in bank notes. The proprie
tor, a Mr. Blanchard, gave the information of his
whereabouts to officer Little of the Northern Li
berties Police, who with the assistance of officer
Downer of the city, searched his room at the Man
sum House, and recovered the stolen property.
The watches were found wrapped up in stock
ings. A pair of pincers used for the purpose of
opening doors that are locked, and a dirk were al
so found in his room. On the recovery of the
property it appears that Mr. Blanchard comprom
ised with Stith, and declined pursuing him fur
ther. This compromise was passively suffered to j
be entered into between the parties by the officers. 1
The prisoner was the next day taken before Al- 1
derman Hay, the magistrate who issued the war
rant and as no one appeared against him, Alder
man Hay could not do otherwise than discharge
him, particularly as the officer who had him in
charge did not state what he, either knew or should
have known, that Mr. Blanchard had returned to
New York, having compromised the matter with
Stith. Recorder Kush stated that in the first
case, on the oath of Willis H. Blaney, he should
detain him as a fugitive from justice, until a requi
sition of the Governor of Massachusetts should
be made, and in the second case as the matter had
assumed a new feature evidencing great irregular
ity. to say the hast of it, on the part of the of
ficers concerned, he had examined it, as if no
proceedings had been had. He stated that there
was sufficient probable cause to retain him until
a requisition is made by the Governor of New
York.
•Stith is a man of polished exterior and address.
Ho expressed himself satisfied that neither the
Governor of Massachusetts nor the Governor of
New York would make any requisition, and if
they did they could not convict him. He has a
splendid wardrobe, which is now in possession
of officer Little, but which Recorder Rush deman
ded should be sent to the office. To this officer
Little demurred, giving as a reason that he had a
claim on the articles for services rendered. The
putting forward of this claim does not argue that
all is right in this matter.— Philadelphia Got.

A Friend oflrishmen. I |j
The federal supporters of Mr. Van Buren’s ad- I v
ministration, endeavor to deceive the naturalized 9fi
Irish citizens of the Union, into the belief that lie Bfi
is their friend, and will do more than Gen. Harri- M
son for their benefit. How far Mr. Van Buren H s
is to be trusted as a friend of Ireland, or a sym- Iti
pathizer in the distress, which a Sub-Tkeasuri B S
and Standing Ak.mi have entailed on that f
Kingdom, may he estimated from the fact that he B
supported Rufus King, and used his influence ts M Xl
' have him elected to the United Stales Senate. B "

when Minister to England, refused AN \SYL- l -
IJM TO THE PATRIOT EMMET. That
true-hearted son of the Emerald Isle, who LIVED I “
A HERO, and DIED A MARTYR for his coun- I S J.
try, was told, previous to his execution, “That I
if the American Minister would consent to his
emigration to America, the ASYLUM FOR I -
THE OPPRESSED OF ALL NATIONS, he
might escape the fate that awaited him.” The
application was made to Rufus King, and he RE- i,

J he could not feti one symptom of compassion for “
j him, whose early death was a blow struck at the
very heart of Ireland, whose memory is embalmed
in the recollection of every true son of Erin, and
whose grave is watered bv the tears ot every true
Patriot of both hemispheres. Rufus King, the
friend of Martin Van Buren, added to the oppress

Steamboat Accident—Six or Eisrht Lives Lost w
i he steam boats Glaucus and Fayette left this
port Saturday afternoon on their respective voy
ages to Qnincy and the Illinois river. They
reached the mouth of Missouri about nine o'clock
at night. The Fayette was then astern of the y,
Glaucus about fifty yards. Just at a point of the pj
river, the Glaucus met the steamboat Pike, dc- ,
scending from Galena. They passed each other £
in safety, and the Pike, not discovering the Fay*
ette, continued on her direct course. The pi' l ® M
of the Fayette now, for the first time, saw th<: j ai
descending boat, under full headway, cominj \ m
down upon them. He rung the engine bell, ~~
the engineer had changed the operation of thfl SB
machinery so as to back the boat. ButitwJis
too late to avoid a collision.
Phe Pike was struck forward of the wheel M
house, and being a small boat, with 800 pigs
lead on board, she went down almost immediate* M
ly. She was full of passengers, in the cabin a |)( | «_
on deck, having taken from the Agnes, agrou nJ ™
above, but which got off and reached here ea rlj -
on Saturday, a large number of passengers. A
scene of indescribable anguish and d;sraay P' 6 * U
sented itself. Many were thrown overboard who P.
were afterwards saved by the Favette. The cab
m parted from the hulUnd it was towed ashore
and made fast Several persons were taken fro® | wi
the hull, lying in eight feet water, who were cling* wi
mg to staonchions, etc. 1
