We congratulate our friends in all parts of the country upon the auspicious result of the election which has just taken place. In our paper today will be found full returns from 63 counties, and the majorities in 19 others, n.aking in all 83. According to our calculation, Mr. Gilmer is 1014 votes ahead, and the counties which remain to he heard from cannot vary that amount very much. The only remaining county to he heard from which will probably give r< gain to Gov. Schley upon his majority of 1835, is Walker, the last of (he Cherokee counties to he heard from. The other seven counties will probably gain as much for Mr. Gilmer as Walker will .or Schley, and thus give Mr. G. a majority in the whole S;ate of from 7 to 800 voles. The contest has been clo-c and animated, and the largest number of votes given, that ever were cast in the Stale at any election. The Savannah Georgian in announcing the result of the election in Chatham county, says, “stand aside and let old Chatham speak /” The Miner’s Recorder in announcing the result in some of the Cherokee counties,says, “stand'aside and let Cherokee speak !” Well gentlemen, we have listened and listened to catch the sound, but the roar of the guns from Castle Richmond on the Savannah, and fort Troup on the Challa hoochie, and the intermediate batteries of Elbert, Oglethorpe, Green,] Burke, Laurens, Newton, Taliafero and Putnam, has been so deafening, (hat we have heard neither the popguns of the seaboard, nor the platoons of the “Regiment” in the mountains! 1 On the sth inst., an extensive lire broke out in Baltimore in the second story of the building No. 141, Maden Lane, occupied as a Drug store, by Messrs, Robison & Ward.

[most oca coauEsroNnKN-f-.j WASHINGTON, Oct, 7, 1837. After my letters by express mall yesreulaj was closed, the discussion on the bill to authorize the issuing of Treasury Notes was continued Until nearly ten o’clock last night. Mr. Cushing of Mass.,made an able argumentative speech agains* it an giounds both of expediency and constitu tional construction. Mr. Legare of S. C., whose smooth,easy and impressive elocution and general ability, always enable him to command the atten tion of the House, made the best and most inge nious and most sophistical defence of the bill that has been set up thus far. Mr. I.cgarc’s talents and accomplishments render him a great acces sion to the administration ranks. I cannot but regard him in a wrong position. Nature inten ded him for a whig. Mr, Underwood and Mr. Robertson, two distinguished and most useful members, the one from Kentucky, the other from Virginia, replied to him, and opposed the bill with great spirit and force. Then rose one of that faction, the so called-‘Conservatives,” Mr. Foster of N. Y., and defended the whole principle, ex pediency and justice of the measure. He was followed by Mr. Menifee of Kentucky, a very valuable accession to the Whig ranks, whose speer'., fully sustained the high expectations raised hj his exceedingly graceful and spirited debut. After ho finished, Old [Previous, Question Cushman of N. H., arose, and amidst the jeers and loud laughter of the whole house, asked what would be the effect of the previous question. The Speaker replied that it would cut off all the amendments, including that which proposed the Treasury Notes should bear interest, in order to assimilate the bill to the one which had passed the Senate. Cushman was not induced by this explanation, to change his mind; but moved the previous question. The call was not sustained. The Ayes were 83, the Nays 83. The Speaker gave his easting vote in the negative! for the first time in his life against the previous question.— The debate then went on; and about ten o’clock the question was taken on Mr. Underwood’s 1 amendment to authorize the sale of the U. States 1 Bank bonds, in order to raise a portion of the ten [ millions to bo issued in the form of Treasury Notes. The amendment was rejected by a small vole. The House then adjourned. The Scnale did not set yesterday nor today, * In the House Mr. Wise’s resolution for inquiry on the subject of the Florida war, was again the c subject of animated discussion. But the points 0 were chiefly those 1 noticed yesterday, on the J questions whether the subjects of inquiry should lie submitted to the Military Committee or a Se- ® lect Committee. Without coming to any deci sion, the Ho'-se resolved, at twelve o’clock, to proceed to the orders of the day, and take up the Treasury Note bill. Mr. Bell of Tennessee made a masterly speech E igairst this measure, and on the general financial policy of the administration. r Mr. Bronson of N. Y., another conservative j supported it. The house then (at half past two) , look a recess till four o’clock. _ M. r [FOR THE CHRONICLE HOI SENTINEL.] || MR. CALHOUN. o Mu. Jones:— Your Washington Correspon- ( dent, in a late letter, speaking of Mr. Calhoun & his course on the currency, terras him (I quote from memory) ‘‘an unquestionably great but c eccentric genius”—a designation which,however *' equivocal in itself, will be generally understood, f however meant, as implying an impeachment of " his consistency. In this light, too, judging from the writer’s opposition to the views of Mr. Cal houn, it was, I doubt not, intended, E'se, why J the use of the word eccentric in disparagement of his views! To intimate that he differs gen- erally from others, or the great mass, amounts to nothing, unless you go farther, and show which be right, he or they ; for it will not be denied that his mind is decidei.ly in advance of the time; and that it is correctly so, in general, witness his :oursc for years past, the wonderfully prophetic Foresight of his views, and soundness of his meas ures, as verified by subsequent cvcnls —That he Jj to differs from himself, as to deserve the term, is wholly untrue. Where is the evidence of it! Eccentric! Fairly and impartially judged, I know if no distinguished public man, living or dead, to whom the term is less applicable—none whose whole life is more consi tent and harmonious— n Forming and uniting its various parts more close ly and beautifully in “one stupendous whole.” r - I say this, too,in full remembrance of the assaults which have been made by his enemies on the consistency of his course on the Tariff, in 1816> and since, than which nothing can be more un reasonable and unjust; and as I have answered • i • * a them heretofoie, when occasion required it, so 1 shall not hesitate to do so again, if urged against " me now —feeling as I do, honestly, before God, that if, after according with him in the nullifica tion of 8. Carolina, a state of things could again J 1 occur precisely similar to that of 1816, in which he acted, as I understand his course then, I would I do now, precisely as he did. This may surprise ® many, but such only as instead of investigating 8 the matter themselves, have pinned their faith to L the sleeves of those who have been concerned in 1 the hue and cry against him, for party purposes. J The time to expect justice to Mr. Calhoun, and the few who acted with him in the late violent and memorable contest, is not yet come: The feelings of the honest but deluded of their antago- ( nists have not yet sufficiently subsided for them j to judge impartially; nor the smoke and din suffi- ( cicntly cleared away for the whole battleground to be distinctly seen, and a narration of its inci- j dents, and the relative positions of the comba- , lants. to be Taiily heard. But it will come; for ( God is just, and will not fail to sustain and vindi- | cate those who put their trust in him; and when , it docs, men will wonder that they could have so ( abused and calumniated one so eminently enti tled to their confidence and regard. But, to return from this digression; and to say nothing of the injustice of the term “eccentric,” as applied generally to Mr. Calhoun, how docs B consist with hisconduc on the occasion which cal led it forth! Has he, in that, departed ought from the principles previously expressed and advocated! No, on the contrary, it is in so perfect accordance with his past course, that ho could have adopted no other without richly deserving the very reproach | ■ from which il ought to have completely securer him. Was ho not in common with our State R'ghls friends generally, opposed to a National Bank, except as a temporary expedient, to “un hank the Banks,” as expressed in his speech ol 1834 ! Had he not denounced, with them, the recently exploded league of pet hanks, as the worst of all means? And did he not, in his speech of 1834. f,whicli seemly been gene rally republished and approved, both by State Bights men and Whigs.) declare and advocate principles and views identical with those on which be now acts? O yes, but —but what—and what course could he have honestly and consistently 1 1 ken, except the one he did? •iol'ouf old enemy, Mr. Van Buren, had taken that ground, and how could he ae*. with hi m and his administration? I'aught Am I to abandon my principles and opinions, then, because my opponent comes over to] them?—are we men who hold principles and opinioys to subserve our personol and party pur poses only, and not those of public good? —and do we expect this of Mr. Calhoun and all others who act with us? I have no confidence in Mr. Van Duren. I have always, as you know, sir, been opposed to him ns a politician, and almost always differed from him; but when he is forced upon my ground, (being opposed to a National Bank, and the pet Banks having failed under him,) shall I therefore abandon il and its advanta ges to him? Or shall I not rather be the more firm in il, from this proof that I am right, and hail his course as a triumph? Agreeing as Ido w ith Mr. Calhoun, this was rny course. Believing with the old republicans, and present State Rights men, that Congress has no power to incorporate a Bank,and designed that the Governor nt should have nothing to do with Banks or Bank paper, but use gold and silver alone (as it diil for some two or three years after the adoption of the con stitution) —and looking upon the pet bank system as one of the most corrupt and dangerous to liberty that ever cursed any country —what other course was left form», honestly and consistently? Who will have the hardihood openly to say it is not the right one? If right in me, how was it wrong in Mr. Calhoun? That the “Whigs,” our old Federal opponents, who have always been and still are in favor of a National Bank, should dislike Mr. Calhoun’s course, and attack it unjustly, falsely, and calum. niously, since they cannot do it otherwise, docs not at all surprise me. But that any nullificr, Slate rights and anti-bank man should do this, is strange, indeed, passing strange. If there be such, however, happily they are as yet “few and fat between,” and cannot reasonably expect that Mr. Calhoun (or others) should shape his prin ciples and views to suit their personal or parly rnds. Whether your correspondent may be elass :d among these,l know not: il matters not. I rave little faith in Washington correspondents ’cnerally, and particularly regular salaried ones, tnowing well what political stuff they are gene ally made of; and though I do not presume pours, like the one who proposed to the Richmond Compiler, “shapes bis politics to suit those of your paper," for I feel assure I that he docs not in this arattcr agree with the great mass of its readers, pet, as a “Washington Correspondent,” had I met his letters in almost any other paper than one 1 value so much as yours, I should scarcely have taken the trouble to read them—certainly not to reply to them. The respectable medium of pub lication in which I find this and other ungener jus inuondoes and sidoblows at Mr. Calhoun — (among them, if I recollect rightly, a passing re leclion on the strange spectacle of Mr. C. and Mr. Silas Wright leaning over in the Senate to tonfer together on the measures ol the ad minis ration) —a paper, too, friendly to Mr. C.‘ and the torrespondent supposed to have been so till his nsinuated def’clion—gives weight to them, and coders them offensive. A word more respecting “ Washington cones rondents,” generally. These writers greatly ni's ,ake their proper end and aim, in furnishing lire rublic at a distance with their own comments, •eflcctions, opinions, Ate., to say nothing of their housand and one invented rumors and on dlls, ind private political and social gos ip and Scan ia!—all eked out as it were by the yard, to fur t'sh interest, or exclusive tews, of some kind or ithes and earn their pay. What the public vant from such sources, are authentic facts, of a tublic character, and mainly Congressional, con lensing the proceedings to the lowest distinct aid intelligible point. Each intelligent reader, ogether with the editors, can comment and ar. ;ue on these as well as the writers, who assume rot a little in thrusting their interminable, anony nous, and irresponsible jargon into the affairs of he nation, as though it were official and necessa y, or that we had not enough of word v matter n all conscience, from that quarter without theirs. Jut we forget—it is the main part of their assu ned vocation to do the dirty business of parly — 0 hang on to the heels ol its whippets inland cry ipor down, ad libitum, all whom they point out is fit subjects of parly applause or abuse— uangliug and perverting, without the least regard for truth or decency, the views and measures of ill who are too virtuous or independent to be the mere tools of party. For this they are honored liy the frequent notice and attention of the r em ployers invited to their messes, introduced into , 00( ] company, and furnished occasionally with such secret information, true or false, as they may desire or choose should be made public in this irresponsible way. At present, they are almost all set upon Mr. Calhoun, “Mongrel, puppy,whelp and hound, And curs of low degree”— and urged to their utmost spite by the disappoint ed malice of his late Whig and Bank allies; but happily he is game far beyond their speed, or he had long ago fallen a prey to hounds of a bcttci blood and kennel. I designed, in commencing these remarks briefly to introduce two or three extracts, illus trative of the consistency of Mr. Calhoun’s pre sent course, and will now proceed to that puipose 1 regret that I have not now within my reach tin whole of bis speech of 1834, and must therefon confine myself to the two following extracts fron a portion of it, which I find in the Iteformer o the 13th ult: •>lf said Mr. C., this was a question c Bank <>r no Bank—if it involved the existenc of the banking system, il would indeed be uroat question —one of the first magnitude and with my present impression, long enlei tained and daily increasing- would heaitat —lon* hesitate before I would be found m der the banner of the system. 1 have grer doubts, if doubts they may be called, as j the soundness anil tendency of t.io whole By 1 tom, in nil its Iboilificaliong, 1 hnvo groat . (ears that it will bo found (lostilc to liberty ami 1 the advance of civilization—fatally hostile to . liberty in our country, where the system ex ists in its worst ajul most dangerous form. 1 Ol a'l institutions affecting the great question of the dislribut on of wealth—a question least explored and the most impoilant of any i;. tho whole range of political economy—the batdt ing Inst toßon lias, if not the grtnlo.-l, among the greatest influence, and I tear, most porn” cious influence on the mode of distribution." * * * * “do long as the question is one between a Bank of the Uni led States incorporated by Congress, and tliet System orbanits which his been created by the will o( the Executive, it is an insult to the understanding to discourse on tho pernicious tendency and constitutionality of the Bank of the IJ. States. To bring up that question fairly and legitimately, you must go ono step farther—you must divorce the Government & the banking system. You must refuse ail con nection with tho banks. You must neither re ceive nor pay away bank notes : you must go back to the old system of the strong box, and of gold and silver. It you have a right to receive bank notes at all—to treat them as I money by receiving them in your dues, or pay i ing them away to creditors—you have a right to create u bank. Whatever the government receives and treats ca money, is money; and if it be money, then they have the right under the constitution, to regulate it. Nay, they are bound by a high obligation to adopt tlicjmost efficient means, according to the nature of that which they have recognized as money, to give it the utmost stability and uniformity of value. And if it be in the shape of bank notes, the most efficient means of giving those qualities is a Bank of the United Slates in corporated by Congress. Unless you give the highest practical uniformity to the value of bank notes, so long as you receive them in your dues, and treat them as money, you vio late lliut provision of the Constitution ,which provides that taxation shall he uniform through* out the United States. There is no other alternative, 1 repeat, you must divorce the Government ent'rely from tho banking sys tem, or if not, you are bound to incorporate a bank as the only safe and efficient means of giving stability and uniformity to the curren cy. And should the deposilcs not be restor ed, and the present illegal and unconstitution al connexion between the Executive and the league of banks continue,! shall led it my duty, if no one else moves, to introduce a measure to prohibit Government from receiv ing or touching hank notes in any shape what ever, ns the only moans left of giving safety and stability to the currency, and saving I lie country from corruption and ruin." (Tuba concluded in our next.) From the Horton Mias. THE SENTIMENTS OF SOUTH CARO LINA IN 1821. In 1821,during the administration of President Monroe, Pennsylvania proposed the following amendment to the Constitu.ion of tho U. Stales, viz—“ Congress shall make no law to errect or in corporate any hank, or other monied institution, except within the District of Columbia; and ev ery hank or other monied institution, which shall ho established by the authority of Congress, shall, together with its branches, and offices of discount anddeposilc, be confined to the Dislrcit of Co lumbia.” Tho Legislature of South Carolina refused to agree to this proposition, and transmitted to the several Stales of the Union a Resolution declaring their disagreement, which Resolution was accom panied with a Report from which we extract the following paragraph; ••Your Committee ore unanimously of opinion, that ns Congress is constitutionally vested with the right to incorporate a Hank, it would be un wise, and impolitic to restrict its operations with in such narrow limits as the District of Columbia. They apprehend no danger from the exercise of the powers which tho people of the United Stales have confided to Congress, but believe that in the exercise of these powers, that body will render them subservient to the great purposes of our na tional compact.” From the N.

The “Conservative" ,*arty, as the mem bers of it call themselves, in the House of Representatives, is the most weak-spirited, wavering, contemptible collection of men that ever undertook to act together us a party. The only man among them who seems to have the least spark ol courage or decision, is James Garland of Virginia; beseems to know where he is, and wlml lie is about; and the rest of that faction are so as : finished to find themselves uncollared; they are so alarmed at the idea of not being led; they are so ter rified at the reaponsibili'y of being obliged to trust to their own Judgment, that they flinch and starl at every shadow, like so many chil dren in the dark. It is to be hoped that one of these days, they may acquire rnore'courage and independence. Alter wavering to and fro, promising one thing and perform)ng anoth er, or rather promising a great deal and per forming nothing, it now seems probable that they will vote in favor of the Depoeile Repeal Bill, though it is impossible to tell wlnt they . actually will do, till the time comes. One thing is certain, their miserable, wavering, ’ hesitating policy, lias destroyed all prospect ! of their establishing themselves in the couniry as a third parly. Thai is outoflhc quest ion. They will he obliged to choose between join ing llie Whig pally, or going back to the Loco \ Focos. For this session perhaps, and part of the next, they may pn servo their present semi-annnalc state of separate existence; but • bcl’oie June, the name of “consei vative" will e have disappeared from the political vocabulary s of the country. They may all he regarded as stretched on their politico! deathbed. , OWe have occasionally animadverted,upon ' Uio Inconsistency of these conservatives in their support of Mr. Van Huron, and their >f pretended opposition to his recommendations e They seem to regard “men” as ot more iin c porlaitcc than “measures" jand to esteem then ; loyalty to the Pros dent as altogether para r- mount to their sacred duties to their oppressei c and anxious country.
