Charleston Mercury of the 20th instant, in an article under the caption of “Facts—South ern aentiment,” state some things as facts, in which the editor, in our humble judgement, is much mistaken. The supposition that the Con vention recently assembled at this place, favored the government project of a sub treasury scheme, i* moM erroneous indeed. Wo knew many of the members of that body, especially from Geor gia, and we assure the Mercury that so far as our acquaintance extended, wo found but few who favored that scheme, and many who opposed it. If l&erc is any paragraph in the Report emanating front the convention, from which the even remote inference can bo drawn that it was intended to express an opinion favorable to that scheme, it pwsed that body unobserved and unnoticed.— We know that many members of that body will read with surprise the following remarks of the Mercury, for we know that many who arc here represented by that paper as acquiescing in the support of the Sub Treasury scheme, would almost as soon suffer their right arms to full off as put their approval to that measure. The Mercury says:— f #£Fhe Merchants who assembled in -Conven tion at Augusta (with a few only of other citizens but Planters and professional meg) were selected without inference to party or political opinion,in this State and Georgia. The Committee, who framed the Report which we published favorable to _the Divorce, and which Report was drawn up by Mr. McDuffie, consisted of Twenty, and they adopted the Report without else dissenting voice. The Merchants are more interested in the banks than any other classes; many oflhosc at the Convention were Bank Di rectors and Presidents. They were to be presum ed more likely than other citizens to favor the connection between the Government and Banks ‘Mr; McDuffie too, an old protector o! the Bank, of the United Slates, was there. Yet he and they went with the most gratifying Knnnimily for the separation.” r " 'Again the Mercury says, \f*Besides we have just cohvcrstJ with a friend, who has returned from a lour through the upper Districts of this State and Georgia, and he as gtfree us that the truly Southern doctrine of a se paration, has spread like lire in the mountains, in both States. Both Union men and Niillifiers Sn Georgia are for it.” The informant of the Mercury is much mis taken I We deny first, that it is a truly “South ern doctrine”—we. deny secondly that it “has spread like fire in the mountains”—and we deny thirdly, that “both Union men and Nullificrs in Georgia arc for it!” The Sub-Treasury scheme embraces two dis tinct propositions. The first is to dissolve that connection between the Government and the banks, by which the latter were recognized as the fiscal agents and depositories of the former— the iecond is to receive nothing but gold and sil ver in payment of the public dues. The first * proposition has some advocates amotrj the State Rights paity m Georgia, but wo unequivocally assort that the latter has none! Wc have long been satisfied that an entire spe cie currency was impracticable, and wo look with disgust and indignation upon the detestable and abominable scheme which proposes a specie cur rency for the business of the government, While the business of the people must be done in a paper currency. We look upon the whole project taken together, as a government scheme, a scheme for the benefit of those who hold the offices —a scheme which is one step towards making our rulers a privilcdgod class, entitled to a premium currency, while the people upon whose means they live, must bo contented with a cur rency of inferior character. Nothing will or should tend more to make the people look upon the government with jealousy and alienated feel ings, than this one fact. We are gratified at the elevated and noble stand taken by the Columbia Telescope in opposition to the dictatorial bearing of the Bulimic Mer chant and Washington Reformer. This paper, (for they are both one) claims to boa sort of orach) for the South—the organ of the Slate Rights parly —its especial guardian, exponent and champion. Wc look upon it as neither one nor the other of these things. Wc do not now, and never havo recognized it as the organ of our party. We have no idea of being led by the Reformer into the arms of Benton, Kendall. & Co., whom that very paper, has so long denounc ed as n pack of humbuggers and the parly to which they belong as the “Royalist party.” ron THE CHRONICLE ASn SENTINEL To Mr. Robert Campbell : In reply to Mr. Jones’ strictures upon your communication on the subject of the late com mercial convention, you “add insult to injury.” I shall not notice your equivocations in relation to your not acting as a member of that body.— The drift of your remarks, upon Ibis part of your letter, has been plainly traced to its source by the editor of the Sentinel and Chronicle. A* a member of the convention I cannot suf fer that portion of your reply, in which you im pugn the motives of the individuals composing that body, to pass unnoticed. In speaking of the IWo terms, which appear to have given you so much offence, “ Commercial intlependenee” and “ shackles of colloidal dependence,” you stats that “ the latent object must be over-whelm ing which could for a moment blind a man of such acknowledged talents, as the chairman of the committee, to the uustiilableness of apply, ing such terms to our condition.” I have placed your words in italicksthat their full force may more r eadilv be seen. Now, sir, you make a direct in sinuation, in the expression, that there was a bid' den object for which the convention was called— so far as this insinuation relates to my self it is false an# unfounded; and never, do I believe, was there, a ttfqre uncharitable misrepresentation of the mo tivoa of some of the most intelligent and conscien tiott# men in South Carolina and Georgia, than is cOWfined in both your communications. who live in glass houses should be carelu) how tlicy throw stones.” You have vol untarily and uncalled for, become the aggressor in questioning the motives of high minded and honorable men. May I not retort, and ask if your motives in ibis matter are above suspicion! How would you feel if a few insinations were thrown out in reference to the orthodoxy ot your own sentiments in relation to soma very important matters. Suppose some one should tell you flatly that the real motives of your own opposition to the report and proceedings of the convention did not truly consist in “ an abhorrence of such pa triotism ” as would induce us to select our own commercial agents ! And supposing another should tell you that he suspected you of enter taining an overweaning fondness for certain prin ciples, in relation to a certain class of our pop ulation, not in very good odour in the south and south-west; and that your opposition, to the pro ceedings of the convention, arose from a convic tion that tho members of that body gavo ample evidence that they were the representatives of a people who knew their rights too well, to suffer the propagation of sentiments, calculated to “ scat, ter fi.cbrands, arrows and death” around our do mestic firesides, to go unpunished.” Ido not ac cuse you, sir, of entertaining such principles—l simply ask what would be your feelings if such insinuations were thrown out in relation to your motives for entertaining certain opinions which you have publicly advocated. It is time lor us to look around, and examine the tenure by which we hold the right of regu lating our own affairs. Are we to be awed by the opinions of every one who shall see fit to impugn our motives! Wo may boast of our liberty, but let us beware lest we should be brought into captivity by the worst of tyrants—that spirit of fanaticism, which would crush all who are[not willing to “ bow down and worship a mere ab stracTon.” The age of the inquisition and the crusades has lied, but wc fear that the spirit slilj lingers. Wc have many among us who would have made apt agents oftho former and flourished as valiant knights, in the ranks of the latter, in crowding the altars of blind devotion with hu man victims. , A MEMBER OF THE CONVENTION. At a special meeting of the Bar of Richmond County on Thursday, the 20th of October, at the City Hall, the Hon. Win. W. Holt, was culled to the Chair, and Thomas W. Miller, Esq., ap pointed Secretary. James Gardner Jr., Esq., [announced to the meeting the melancholy intelligence of the decease of Wessley Hobby, Esq., a number of the Bar, late of Columbia County, and moved that a Com mittee of three ho appointed by the Chair, to draw' up suitable resolutions and report to the meeting, which motion being recorded and carried, the Chair appointed James Gardner Jr., R. R. Cuma raing andN. W. Oockes,Esqrs., that Committee. The Committee having retired tor a few mo ments, returned and submitted to tho meeting the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted : Itesolved, That this moelingUtas rcc’d with the deepest sorrow the mournful tidings of the de cease of out friend and professional brolher.Wen slcy Hobby Esq., who was alike admired for his talents, respected for his virtues, and indoared to us by his amiable qualities. licsolved, That in the premature death of this highly gifted individual, Society has ustain cd a loss of great moral and intellectual worth, which required but time to have been extensively and usefully felt. Itesolved, That this meeting deeply sympa thize with the bereaved widow and tho venerable father of the deceased in this afflicting dispensa tion of Providence. Resolved, That in token of our respect the members of this Bar will attend the funeral of the deceased and will wear the nsual badge of mour ning for thirty days. Resolved, That the Secretary forward copies of the above resolutions to the widow and to tho father of the deceased,and furnish a copy for pub lication. On motion the meeting then adjourned. W. W. HOLT, Chairman. Titos. W. Milleh, Secretary. From the Savannah Georgian, Ocl. 2G. FROM FLORIDA. Tho schr. Oscar, Capt. Buckingham, arrived yesterday afternoon from St. Augustine, bringing us the Herald of the 21st inst. from which we extract the following article, relative to the cap ture ol Powell. We have also been favored with the annexed extract of a letter received by a gen tleman in this city. Capt. Nock, of the Steam boat Florida, which arrived last evening from St. Augustine, informs us that Powell and all his warriors were safely lodged in the Fort. Extract of a letter fiom a gentleman at St. Au gustine, to one in this eity, dated Oct. 22. “We made a glorious haul yesterday. Pow ell, and all the war chiefs except three, are now lodged in tho Fort, with 80 ofllich- warriors—th« bone and sinew of their nation. Seventy Ne groes came in a day or two since, and a large number are now at Volusia, whither a Steamboat goes this morning to get them. “Powell and his band came with the avowed intention of having a talk, but probably with the real one of endeavoring to rescue Philip who fell into our bands some days ago, as all were armed. Yesterday they arrived about 9 miles from here, and sent in a messenger to Gen. Hernandez, who went out to see them.—Gen. Jesup also proceed ed to the vicinity of their Camp, and while they were talking with Gen. H. they were suddenly surrounded by two hundred horse, so suddenly that they had not time to raise a single rifle, — though all had one by their sides. They were marched to town, hnd “arenow safely under lock and key,” and there thye will be kept, if watch fulness and a strong guard can keep them there.” The writer says he does “not think this will immediately end the war, but wc have drawn the fangs from the reptile, so that he can no longer , bile.” From toe St. hugiistine ITernld , Oct. 21. GLORIOUS NEWS—POWELL TAKEN. An express has just arrived in town from Fort Peyton that Powell with 50 warriors have been r taken prisoners. They are now on their way to r town. Since writing the above, the prisoners have . been brought to town and confined in the Fort. There arc upwards of eighty warriors. Powell, 3 Coabajo, and several sub chiefs are among the - captured. The capture look place about a mile - from Fort Peyton. The talk was a very short one. They staled that they had been invited by Philip to come and bear what propositions were s to be made to them, that they did not come to de a jiver themselves up as prisoners, and nothing was . said that seemed to indicate that they were yet conquer’d. As soon as this fact was ascertained, at a preconcerted signal they were surrounded ” by our troops and all taken prisoners.—They were completely surprised and captured without c blood sheed. _ This is another success upon which wo have reason to rejoice, and it will lead to still murt 1 beneficial results, 1 SPEECH r OF MR. DAWSON, OF GEORGIA, On the bill to postpone the fourth instalment 1 payable under tho Deposit® act. Delivered in i tho House of Representatives, Sept 27, 1837. t The bill to postpone tho payment to the Stales of the fourth instalment of the surplus , revenue hem;* under consideration — Mr. Dawson, ol Georgia, addressed the House as tullows ; Mr. Speaker: I will apologize to the House ; for participating in this discussion atthislime I would not have attempted it, sir, but from the peculiar position in which I am placed in relation to tiie question now under cons dera tion. I purpose making my observations brief. Ido not intend, sir,.in the investigat on , of this subject, to follow alter the argument's of many honorable gentlemen who have dis cussed it. 1 understand the only question now presented to the consideration ot this body is, whether we shall postpone the deposite of the fourth instalment of the surplus with the States. To that question, then, and to that question alone, sir, will I confine my observ ations, and endeavor not to go beyond the lim its that should be prescribed to that subject. And, sir, in order to ascertain some important and leading facts in relation to it, it will be incumbent upon me, ns a preliminary step, to propound some question to honorab'e gen tlctnen, and more especially to tho chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means; for, If I know myself, I can confidently aver that my vote will be the result of an honest con viction upon my mind, and a deep sense of the dutyj£ owe my constituents and the coun try, Sir, if I could, on a question like this, he influenced by any part feeling whatever, 1 should hold myself utterly unworthy to repre sent those who sent mo here. For the purpose, then, Mr. Speaker, of dis cussing this subject most uiiderstandingly, and of presenting the facts as they exist, 1 will ask the honorable Chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means this question : It this bill should pass, do you then propose to pass the bill on the Clerk’s table, granting in dulgence to those banks known as the depo . site banks ! Mr. Camoroleng. I will answer the gentle man’s question as well as I can. I can only < answer for my own vote ; but, in reference to that bill which proposes principally to grunt indulgence to the banks in the southwestern country, I will give it as my opinion, that i havo no doubt it will pass this House by a large majority. I shall certainly give it my zealous support. Mr. Dawson. Very well; I have a res ponse to that. I also, Mr. Speaker, beloro 1 ■ go into tho argument, w sh to ask gentlemen froth tho State of New York, and the chair man of the Committee of Ways and Means, especially, whether the banks in the State ot New Y'ork, are considered as sdventor insol •’out. ? Mr. Catnbreleng. Tito gcniioniail pul 9 a more difficult question to answer, Mr. Speak er. Some of them arc solvent, and some are possibly insolvent; there is one broken batik among them. Mr. Dawson. I mean the deposite banks! Mr. Cumbreleng. There is but one ot them broken. Mr. Dawson. I now, sir, put the same question to the gentleman from Ohio, to know whether the batiks ot that state arc solvent or insolvent! The deposite banks I mean. Mr Duncan said he would answer the gen tleman as far as he knew, (although he knew nothing practically about it, but from report;) but he believed the banka of his state were generally solvent, and the public had confi dence in them. Their paper, however, was from ten to fourteen per cent below par. Mr. Dawson. Mr. Speaker, 1 discover that a large amount of the puplic money is on de posits in the batiks of Louisiana, and I beg leave t 6 propound the same interrogatory to my honorable friend from Louisaina before me, in relation to the deposite banks of that state. Mr. Johson replied, that they were as safe and as solvent as any in the Union. Mr. Dawson. I will propound the same question to my friend from Alabama, who sits near mo. However, sir, I will not reiterate the question; but if any of the deposite banks, in any of the Slates, are insolvent or unsound, I should be glad to hear. I pause for a re ply. Air. J. C. Clark, of New York, referring t« the reply of Mr. Carabreleng, said, that that gentleman might just as well havo said that all the deposite banks of New York were broken, as that one was. As to the Dry Dock bank, (to which he supposed tho gen tleman referred,) he was informed the bills of that bank were at five per cent, discount. He did not believe the Government would lose a dollar by that bank. The banks of New York would compare with those of any part of tho Union. The people were in debt to them more, by thirty millions, than the whole sum they owed. Mr. Whittlesey, of Ohio, said, that, as he supposed these queries were put with a view to sustain an argument, it might bo impor tant that the gentleman from Georgia should receive correct information in reply. Mr. W.’s colleague had stated that the paper of the deposite banks of Ohio was at ten to fourteen per cent, discount. Mr. Duncan explained, that he had spoken i of the banks of Ohio generally, The inquiry, Mr. Whittlesey said, had re i ferred specially to the deposite banks. Now, ; (said Air. W.,) I aver that the paper of the banks in not depreciated, unless it 1 may be that of one solitary hank inthedis ■ irict whete my colleague [Mr. Harnerjresides. 1 There are not more solvent banks in any purl • of the United .States. They are as sound, at this moment, as they ever were. Let the N. 3 York banks resume specie payments when ‘ they will, the banks of Ohio will follow suit. ' One ol tho largest banks in the state is now ' paying specie. The bank at Dayton has nev ’ er,m°fa'jt, ceased to do so more than a tew ’ days. Ohio la fully willing to take her share of the deposites in hills of her own banks,if- if \ she shall receive more, she will give ample i security that the deposites m her banks will 1 be, at all times, forthcoming in notes as good a as silver. Mr. Duncan still insisted that it was a fact, it an individual wanted to convert Ohio bank paper into specie, he must pay ton per cent, discount upon it. t Mr. Hamer remarked, that the notes of the i little bank referred to, ns being in Ins district, o were as good as any other, as far as they cir culated. e Mr. Whittlesey, explained that he himself . knew nothing about that bank, further than 1, that, by the advertisement of the Slate Trea c surer, lie saw its notes were not receivable in a payment of taxes. In relation to all the other t banks of tho state, their paper were received f at par. e Mr. Bond confirmed this statement. 9 Mr Dawson. 1 have no doubt of tho nc * curacy ot the statement at all, for I have tho ■ l authority of the Secretary of the Treasury •’ that all tho hills of those hanks woo d be J available at some period. Thu only doubt H upon my mind was, whether these banks were lt solvent at this lime; for upon that poirtt the vole I shall give will be chiefly governed. c The facts now being ascertained, F propose e Mr. Speaker, to give tire reasons that will induce mo to vote against tins bill. Sir,! am uninfluenced by the idea of a contract be tween the General Government ami the states t I consider the law of June, 1836, i tho deposites to be made with the States, tit . • the nature of a pledge on the faith of the . Government; and Kbold the General CfnveWi . mem bound to that pledge to tho stales, unless consequences injurious to the interest . and prosperity of the Union demand the post ponement or repeal, or unless there ex sta an .. inability on tho part of the Goverumepl to ext i ecute the law. With that view, let the ques tion be examined. Tho Secretary of tho Treasury, in his rc , port to this congress, whilst speaking ot the temporary embarrassment's which the recent . convulsions in commerce and banking may have created, says, “there is no just cause lor despondency.” The country is neither over whelmed with a national debt, nor destitute of large pecuniary resources on baud ; but en tirely free from the former, it is so amply sup. plied with the latter as to have iu the Treas ury over forty milliions of dollars, and eight or ten millions more in bonds, which will soon become payable. But a largo portion being in deposite with the states, and the residue chiefly in banks and in the hands of merchants, under the difficulties before named, in procur ing promptl'-, and in a legal currency, the amounts of money which are needed, some collateral aid for a short period, till a sufli cincy can be collected, appears to be judicious if not indispensable.” The amount, then, in the Treasury, and duo it, is over filly millions of dollars; of this sum, there is yet in the de pusite banks over thirteen millions; in the hands'of merchants, over ten millions ot dol lars. But the Secretary says these lunds are unavailable —what does he mean by the word unavailable! Nothing more than that the notes due by the banks, ami the bonds of the merchants, cannot bo converted, at this instant, into specie. Hence, the cull ol this extra session ot Congress, and the dll- Acuities and contusion in the operations ol the General Government and among the people. In this condition of affairs, Congress is m ses sion ; and our agent ot finance recommends forbearance, indulgence, ami kind treatment, to the deposite bands, winch owe the Govern ment upwards of thirteen millions ol dollars. Yes, sir, the recommendation ol the bccrctary is,that an arrangement bo made with the bands and the money be permitted to remain where it now is; and the same course be pursued towards the bonds given by the merchants for the public duos. Ho then says, ‘‘hence it seems expedient” that “some temporary re source should bo provided until enough or trie fourth instalment, or ulher means in Iho 110a sury, can he rendered available to discharge all the public engageme its.” “It is U ot , 5,, y 9 he, “to be a loan, or an increase qt luxes ol any kind; as the General Gov, in respect to its finances, is far from having any just cause sot despondency.” Yet he asks Con gress to supply him with leu million o[ 1 roa sttrv notes. And for what purpose! To sup- Ply the and extravagant appropria tions made by Congress, tot out creeks, building useless fortifications, &.c.,and exploring expeditions in search ot unknown regions of the world, Will this he a benefit or immediate advantage to live great body ot the people! No, sir. No, sir. It is for the purpose ot relieving this Government,& lor that purpose alone. It is a mere arrangement to keep in motion the wheels of this central pow er. And this is one of the vnodes in relief which the gentleman from Ohio, who has just taken his seat, [Mr. Hamer,j insists is to re lieve the people! Sir, it becomes a farce! it is a mockery!—when it is designated a bill for the relief of the people. Mr. Speaker, what next do we hear! Iho chairmaln of the Coinmittcec ol Ways and Means, this chancellor ot the exchequer, cull ing upon tho Government, or rather upon tho Congress of the United States—for what! He is, to be sure, somewhat more modest than the Secretary of the Treasury, and asks us for $9,100,000 —for the relief ot this suffer ing and overwhelmed community! No, sir. pJr what then! Why, it is in accordance with the views of the Secretary of the 1 rcas ury, and to add force, to his requisition.— And lie, too, speaks of this bill as one, in all its tendencies, calculated to relievo the peo ple, and improve the commercial operations of the country. The gentleman (torn Ohio urges ,1110 pas sage of the bill postponing the feurln instal ment, and warns the inembers,ot tins House not to vole against this proposition, and reads us a lecturejof what our constituents will do it we oppose it. Sir, 1 do not consider the gentleman from Ohio a prophet nor the son or" a prophet, and consequently feel no appre hensions or uneasiness Irom his predictions; and shall wait, with perfect confidence, the judgment of an enlightened and just constitu ency to confirm my .views, audio sustain my course, on this question. . [At this stage, at the earnest -solicitation of many members, Mr. D. gave way to Air. Craig, on whose motion the House adjourned. On tho next day, on proceeding to the or ders, the subject was again resumed; and, at the request of that gentleman. Mr. D. yielded the floor to Mr. Carjjbreleng, who made the following explanation in reference to one of Mr. D’s interrogatories: “Mr. Catnbreleng said, with the permission of the gentleman from Georgia, he would explain more fully his answer lo one ot that gentleman’s questions last evening, concern in'* the condition ol the bunks in the blate ot New York. Ho did nut mean to be under stood that any of them, strictly speaking,were insolvent, or that they cduld not ultimately pay all their debts. He had referred to the Dry Dock Bank, which was placed by the chancellor in the hands of receivers, and to the heavy losses sustained by many ot the banks in the late revulsion. By reference to the Treasury report, it would be seen that one of’.be eity banks alone had twelve hundred thousand dollars of suspended debt; yet even that bank would in a few years restore its capital to its original amount by its collections and profits. He had merely intended to ex press the opinion that the actual capitals ol 1 many of Hie banks had been diminished dur lug the revulsion. He begged lo be under stood as entertained no hostile feelings to ■ wards the gentlemen interested in these insti • tutions, nor to banks, as the mere agents ol • trade; but to that legislation which is perpetu ally and improperly interfering with tins as - well as oilier brunches ol trade* His hostility > was exclusively directed to this mischievous ■ and corrupting interference with the business of men, which was not among the legitimate 1 duties of Government.” 1 Mr. Duncan and Air. Whittlesey, of Ohio, • also said a few words in mutual explanation 1 but in no way varying the statement, of last ( evening us to the perfect solvency ol the Ohio I banks.] 1 * . Air. Dawson resumed by saying that it was not at Iris own solicitation the House adjourn • cd last evening, for lie would willingly have 3 concluded his remarks then, much us he ru < gretted unpleasant necessity ol sitting at such 3 unseasonable hours. , t Mr. D. continued; Air. .Speaker, I shall e a am resume the subject, and shall endeavor e to coniine my remarks closely to the inciter we are investigating. With your permission, c sir, 1 will just repeat the substance of what 1 II j stated last night. It was, Ihat the Bccrctary I of the Tr asury had announced to the Amor. lean people that the Trcasuty of the country i was now full of funds, but that lb y worn not j available; that he.asked Congress tobesup u plied with 10.000,000 to carry on the Gov e eminent'; ami that tins application to ttie dig - eretiop of Congress the chairman of the , Commitree of Ways and Means had con'finn t cd, and also asked a similar amount for the - Government. Now, sir, I assume this posi i tion—for I desire this matter well understood, -. since I stand alone here from the State I have - the honor, in part', to represent. 1 then ask, sir, wh it is to be done with the unavailable ■ funds, if wc make tins appropriation of f 10,- ) 000,000 required of us! The response will l bo, the only response enn be, that they are to ' be unavailable to tho Government—and 1 • wish the question lo be fairly understood—if ■ the Government can go on without these un- I' available funds, what earthly necessity, what • earthly advantage, will it dorivv from the postponement of the fourth instalment! They tell you they do nut desire any port.on of it; they do nut wish lo use one single dollar of it, in tho event of your granting trie sum of $lO,- ' 000,000. Then, sir, this postponement of the fourth instalment will not even he required by the Government. Then, if it will boos no advantage to tho General Government to grant this postponement, would it not bo ol immense advantage to the various States to have the use of Bus deposite money! But gem lemon say that the Slates will not receive the bank paper of the other Status, in which the money is deposited. Have you tried them, sir! It is urged that you cannot divide tho money among tho States, because H is unavailable. Sir, there is, iu my view, no difficulty upon this branch of the question at all; and why! Because the deposite la t of 1930 requires the funds iu the Treasury on the Ist of January, 1837, lo be deposited with the States; and, whether the money bo avail able or not, whether in hills or notes, or in specie itself, or in any kind of funds, available or cnavailable, still the States havo the right to becomethe depositories oftliepublic[immcy therein provided (or, if they desire it, without regard to its kind or character. Sir, this is an argument merely lor effect, and is not founded at all on the deposite act of June, 1836. Tho idea that the States will not receive it, is a mere gratuitous anticipa tion, a mere assertion without the shadow ol ( a reason ter its support. Again sii: the t. u millions AviFl grant in- > slant relict to the Government, fur the Secre tary will not require the use of a single dollar, winch shall bo in the deposite bunks, or due from the merchants, even if the whole of ii 1 becomes available within thrdo weeks aflei i j the passage Os this hill. Is not this proposi- . tion true, sir! It cannot be denied, lack gentlemen to respond to this interrogatory— will he havo any use for that money! Noe, sir, none. This bill provides ten millions ol dollars for the Government to pay its appro priations. its officers, and its agents; and this is all the Government requires. VVo arc af fording the means to do this, without refer i cnce io the money !? Bio State banks. Air. speauor, wimi the next liql; in litis chain of relief, having connexion with this poslposemont bill! It is the bill to grant indul gence upon the bonds due by the importers to custom-houses. And what amount do the merchants owe this Government! About nine millions of dollars. Now, sir, I propose, in investigating this subject, to present all there facts fairly to the people whom, in part, I have tho honor to represent. I ask this question, therefore: pass tins bill proposing indulgence on merchants’ bonds and whom does it relieve! It relieves the importers, an isolated [class in the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Boston ; and whether lit y be located there, or abroad, or whether they consist of the foreign manufacturers, it relieves them alone, and that indiscriminately. Wliat aid, let me again ask, will that bill afford the retailing interest of the Country! None sir. What aid will it extend to the agricultural! None. What to the consuming interest! — None, sir, none. The importer derives all the benefits of the indulgence. Sir, is this equal! Is it just legislation! Is it doing lo others as you would bo done by! These are questions the people will examine and inves tigate. By whom are the duties finally paid! By the consumer mid by him only. Hu pays the retail merchant, am! the retail merchant pays the importer; yet you grant indulgence neither to the consumer nor lo the retail mer chant, but to the importer alone. ’This, sir, is what I call not only partial, but exclusive legislation, ami in favorof a class which bears but un insignificant—hardly a discernible — proportion to the consuming, agricultural, or farming interest of tho country ; and it these largo classes ot the peoplo wore forced to roly on Ibis bill for relief, they would be in a truly lamentable condition ; and yet we are told this is a b.ll granting relief to the people. J)ut mark me—l lake no ground at this lime for or against the merchants ; I am on y showing tho fallacy of culling the measures before us, a system lor Hie relief of the peo plo.
