In the Senate•on tho 20th tilt., when tho report of the committee of finance, declaring Ihat “I ho prayer of tho rospoctito petitioners (or a national bank ought not to bo granted," came before the Senate, Mr. Clay moved la •l••■l1d (lie report as follows ; Btnke out nil after the word "Resolved," •nd insert, "That it will ho expedient to es itbltsli a bank of tho United Stairs whenever it shall bo man Host tint n clear majority of the people of the United States desire such •n institution and asked fur the yeas and! nays thereon. A motion to postpone the consideration of the report was rejected—ayes 15, nous 30. Mr. Tallmadgo then moved to amend the amendment by striking out nil after the word •‘Resolved," and inserting; "That in the opinion ol the senate a clear majority of the people of tho United Stales are opposed to n national bank, and that it is inexpedient to the prayer grant of the petitioner*.” Fending the above omcnduieuts, Mr. Cal houn said that the course which lie intended to pursue was, first to vote against the amend ment to tho amendment,& it that succeeded,to vole against the amendment itsclt,so as to bring the question nakedly on the report ol the com m iles on finance, that the prayer ol the pe titioners ought not to he granted, lie was not prepared to say what the opinion of the 1 people ot the United States at this time is in ' relation to a bank ; and much less waa ho ! prepared to commit himself in favor of one in contingencies contemplated by tho amend ment to the amendment. Where the consti tution or important political principles are involved, his only guide was his judgement and Ins conscience, and not the popular voice. If there was any trick or management in bringing forward tho report, to entrap any Senator who may not have nude up Ins opin ion definitively as to tho necessity ol a bank, as my colleague supposes, he was wholly ig norant of it. lie did nut know that the com mittee on finance had reported until this mor ning, nor that it was intended to take up the report till a short (into before it was called up, but he did not doubt the propriety of ta king the sense of tho senate upon the subject of the hank* The memorialists had petitioned to establish a national bank, and it was due to'.hem, as well us to tho country at large, that there should be an explicit declaration of the sense of the senate on the subject, lie Considered it, in fact, among the measures of relief, that the sense of congress should be lully known as to what ought and tvhsl tsghl not to be done; there is a vast amount ot capital now locked up awaiting osr decision, which would flow out, as soon as it was known, to stimulate business, and relieve the money pressure, at tins important season, when the fall trade is about to commence. "Mr. C. then said that his colleague had nude some remarks winch lie could not pass unnoticed, lie understood him to say that to assent to any important part of the mes sage was to support tho whole, and that it was, in fact, to become a partisan of the ad * ministration. ' [Here M'. Preston dissented, and stated : that what he did say was, that according to i hi* impression, the support of the leading jueasiro of the administration seemed to him r as necessarily involving an entire support ol the administration.l Mr, C. resumed: that he was gratified ’| to receive the explanation of his col-1 league, and that b« now understood him I iI as merely slating Ina impression of what . 1 ought to be the effects ol supporting any I of the prmn nent measures recommended in 1 I the n.es.agc. lie mnsliay that his (Mr. C.’s impressions were wholly different. No { one knew better than Ins colleague, that be never acted but in lelntion to an objec'i and ; that object usually one somewhat remote,and | that liu advanced towards it with a steady , step, regardless ol the d flicullirs and the par- j ty combinations about him. lie was master of his own move, and acknowledged conn x- 1 inn with no parly but the alnte rights party | and the small band of nulhfiers; and acted j either with or against the administration or j the national party, just as it was calculated to ! further the principles anil policy which wC of that party regarded an trartfnTm'i ro the idierty and institutions of the country. It tv»i thus he acted in the present instance. lie knew his latitude and longitude; lie hod nut neg lected Iris logbook, and bad kept on exact reckoning, sr.dktrew the precise point where he wan, and in what direction he was moving. The object for which lo and those with whom lie had noted had united Willi the nationals bad been accomplished. Executive usurpation bad been arrested. The treasury waa empty, &llic administration had scarcely a majority in either hdhse, or the union. But the event which had separated us and the nationals, had at the same lime put an end to tho Jachsot t parly — they had run nut. That remarkable man had formed a persona) parly, held togeth er by his great influence, and the immense patronage placed in his hands. lie was olf the stage now, and tho gorged treasury had been turned into empty boxes. The cohesive principle of hm parly was destroyed, and it had dissolved into its elements. It hud no option but lo re-unile on the old principles that brought it into power, and fall on the ground wh<- r o it stood in iH27. snd where he unJ his friends had continued so stand all along. It wos that nr utter de struction. In tho meantime, the government itself had been brought hat h by a series of decisive moves, almost lo where it stood at its commencement in 170*?: no bank, no tariff, nor almost any of those measures to which they were tho fruitful parent. This was the point we bad reached; executive encroach ments attested from its own weakness, and legislative encroachments by the overthrow of tint system which it had builded np in a long course of years. Could he, a member of state rights party, hesitate what course lie should pursue in mo remarkable n juncture ? It was clear as tho noon-day tun. Wo aro the sworn enemy hath of executive and le.is lalivo usurpation ; and cl tho two, more op posed, if possible, to the latter than the for mer, because, in the na'uro of things, it must take precedence in the order of time. With out the legislative, there could bo no execu tive usurpation. Congress must first encroach [ on the powers of the state, before the execu tive can he strong enough to encroach on its powers ; hnl as soon as they do, the benefit enures, nut to them, lint (ho president. Rea son and experience both prove this. Now, sir, while the national party have shown themselves the foe of executive encroach ments, they have been, and lie feared were still, tho advocates of n liberal construction of the const lotion—the supporters of delega ted against reserved powers. To it, then, may bo traced most of those acts which have gone so far to convert tills into n consolidated government, and to which they still cling. On iho contrary, n very large portion of tho Jucltsoiiyparty, then uraw’tl oH lru,n Ihoir principles by his cxlraordlni.:"’ influence "ini power, still professed, and, I doubt noi, .■>"* 1 coroly, the opposite principle, notwithstand ing the frequent, and, ho must say, great do parture from their practice in many particu lars. Now, he would ask, what course ought ho to pursue under such circumstances 1 lie, the opponent nf all encroachments, from whatever quarter, executive or legislative ! Was it for him to join the friends of tho ta riff, ofa national hank, and lint whole system of congressional usurpation, and utterly break down ni« old allies of 1527, who had shelter ed under hia position, and thus give u com plete and final victory to Ins old opponents of lout period, and with it a permanent ttsc< n daney to them and their principles and policy, which lie honestly believed could not but end in consolidation, with the loss ol our liberty and institutions 1 Or rather, was it not Ins duty, thinking as ho did, and with the objects ho had been long pursuing, to prevent such a result, mid to cull a rally of bis old allies on j tbo ground where ho stood, and where they did in 1827, in order to arrest tho final tri umph of the principles to which ho and they wore then both opposed ! lint my colleague seems to think that tho danger i f executive usurpation is not yet over, and that depart ment is not so prostrated us he (Mr. (’.) sup posed. Instead oftliis, he thinks they still , j are meditating schemes of power. Be it so. Ho was not more confiding than his col- ' league. Experience had taught him distrust 1 of power; and if his apprehensions should | prove correct, he stood toady to rally with his j recent allies against executive usurpation, with all lltc zeal and energy which had over impelled him. lie was prepared to go much further, and hoped lo have the aid of those with whom lie so lately acted, lo push forward and guard, by 1 prudent and wise enactments, girded by our re cent experience,against the recurrence here- t after of the danger ol'the encroachments of the executive. Wo now know the great dan ger from that quarter, and ho was prepared to do his duty in providing effectual guards. He saw that this was the moment to reap tho fruits of the double victory which hud been achieved, mainly by tho small party lo | which he belonged, bo'h against the encroach - I ments of congress on tho rights of the states, [ ami the President on the rights ol congress,and thereby place the liberty and institutions of the country ott.a durable basis, which he hoped to etfect liy uniting with the nationals in pro viding cffiuctnal guards against the future us urpations of the executive, and his old friends and allies of'27, i t resisting the usurpation of congress on the slates; and as the first siep in the discharge of this important duly, he join od them in opposing it bank and a reunion of the government with the banking system, and was prepared lo act throughout with them against congressional encrochment in every form and shape. He trusted he had now de fined his position so as to leave no possibility ' ot mistake as to where lie was, where he was ' going, amt under wliat flag he had sailed. In taking his course, he was neither an ndinm ' istration man nor an opposition man,ami much 1 loss any man’s man. lie belonged to no par ly but the states rights, and wished to be con -1 sidered nothing more than a plain and an j. honest nullilior. j THE BUB TREASURY SYSTEM— I fit practical operations, illuilrationt, anil ile t falcalions; As exemplified by the Report of the i, Fostmaslei-Goneral, on the 3d of March, 1837, 3 eonuining a s "STATEMENT , Os balancei and debts due to the United Slates, by tale Postmasters, on account of transac . lions prior lo July I, 1837.” J "This statement (say* the Author) contains 8 the names of the Postmasters, their ollicos, and * sureties; the balances duo, when they accrued, I* whether considered collectable or not, and the | l steps taken to collect them.

It will be seen ho denies dial his name was ever called or recorded as a member of lire Convention, or that he took any part in its deliberations. All this may lie true and yet amount toon evasion of the proper point. Mr. Uampbcll was appointed a delegate, and be knew it—he did not refuse the appointment, and thus suffered those who relied upon him to repre sent them in the convention lo lie deceived by . L .i* f.'.ssive silence! Tho convention met on Monday, and in the Constitutionalist of Tuesday morning Mr. Campbell's name was published a 3 an attending delegate from Augusta, and the pub, lication copied into the Chronicle and Senti- I nel on the same day. If the editor of the Oon sllluli nalisl was misi» , 'cn, why did not Mr. f’ami-boll correct it forthwith l Why suffer his name to he heralded forth to the world as an at tending member of a Convention.{whose object Jum one week thereafter, denounces o.s “abhorrent lo all his ideas of patriotism!" Why suffer his name to go abroad as a member of that body, listen to its proceeding and not join in them! Why thus play a double game, by which, if the proceedings of (lie convention were for good, bn had only to be silent and tho world would give him credit for lending a hand; and if fur evil, as he ■ thinks, be managed to have it in his power to say, " I bud no hand in the business ■” We again assert that Mr. Campbell’s suspi cions of the object of the Convention arc unfound ed, and grossly unjust to tho Southern people— This is a matter in which all parties at the south unite, with here and theta on exception like Mr. Campbell. There aro some men whoso fears arc always uppermost —who entertain suspicions of every body else but themselves. They conjure up imaginary dangers in the path which others trend with confidence and safety—they discover the forking villany in every face they meet, and seem to think that every heart but their own, beats with some treacherous impulse. "Evil bo lo him that evil thinks.” Those who always think evil of every body else are mast apt themselves to he, unwillingly, the instruments of the very mis chief which they fear in others. Their unnoeo* sary suspicions awake jealousies which were hith erto slumbering, and they thus provoke the work ings of an evil spirit in bosoms, which before, bud only thought of good. There are such men, and while wo hope that Mr. Campbell’s good sense will not suffer him to be of that number, we mus! *nv that bis ungenerous suspicions of v \f the motives and objects of every bouy I’"" 11 *' him, aro alike unjust to the community and un worthy of otic who lias lived so long in its midst It is true, as he says, that the merchant of Au gusta may export the productions of tho Stale, whithersoever he pleases,and bring in return also wliat goods he pleosos; how than can it be crimi nal in the people of Georgia lotake such steps as will enable the merchant to do that which lie lias the right but not the means to do! Because we have been hitherto content to let the merchants of Now York, Philadelphia and Boston, export our cotton and import the goods we use, is (hero any reason, justice or sense in accusing us of vile ob jects now, for concentrating our energies to ena ble us to do so ourselves! As to tho terrible phrases “commercial inde pendence,” " colloidal condition;” &c. by which Mr. Campbell seems lo be haunted like Macbclh was by the apparitions of Banquos’ race ol kings, we can tell him that they simply, plainly, and on ly mean, that the southern people believe ft to bo their interest lo bo no longer dependent upon tbo northern merchants to export their pro ductions and import tbeir goods, and that by do ing it for themselves, they become “ independent" of that “ commercial dependence,” which they have hitherto been under! Truly a most frightful idea! ! FROM FLORIDA. By (he arrival of the steamboat Charleston, Copt. Donnell, last evening, from Black Crock says the Savannah Republican of the 23J inst. wo learn that all the lioops at Black Crock had gone lo St. Augustine—that Wild Cat or Co-a coo-chcc, who had been permitted to leave St. Augustine lo visit the Indians, had returned ac cording lo promise, and that a number ofNegroes, hud been sent in by the Indians to Fort Payton. It was also said that Osceola had sent word to St. Augustine, that he was in tho neighborhood ol Tomoka, with a parly of Indians, and that if they wanted him, they might come and bring him in. We learn ndh ng further by this arri val. [SOU TilX eUBOXICLK AMI SKXTIStI..] Mr. Josks:—l wish at present lo correct one or two things in your noliec of my letter of the gist inst., mid to do so plainly it is necessary to mention that tbo Convention was organized in the Masonic Hall that tho Chairman commenced by calling for Delegates by Slates to come for ward lo the table where ho sal and roeorl there names, lie called upon Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina —from none of which was there any response; then lollowed South Carolina and Georgia,upon which various persons went forward andrecorded their names. My name was not then nor at any subsequent lime recorded ; nor is it true that the Secretary, in announcing the names of the members, mentioned mine as having been recorded ; and from the known precision of that gentleman, I think it cannot he true that he did so at any other lime. When the Convention met in the Presbyterian Church, a particular part was specified as for the use of the members; when present 1 did not sit in that part, hut with the , spectators. You think my letter out of time—it - is dated on Saturday and was in your office on Monday morning—the report and resolutions | were published in your paper on Thursday or Friday evening—in tho Constitutionalist on Sat > urday. ’ You deny, as by authority, that the object of ' the Convention was what I have staled it I . wish you did speak by authority ; but refer to the i terms of the report, and wlut is its tone and spi , rit, is it merely to persuade us to pursue our own ! commercial interest that it invokes us to become [ commercially independent, to co operate in the great work of throwing off the shackles of our present colonial c*.i.di'ton miJ establish our {*’*' ■•net cial independence.

'i'ho terms of commercial independence arc a contradiction in themselves. Complete independ ence annihilates commerce—commerce is bared upon our dependence. But where or how can commerce be more independent, more unshac kled, than ours.

Extract from a letter to n gentleman in this State, dated RICHMOND, Aug. 22,1837. I have seen a notice signed hy yourself and some other gentlemen of Georgia, calling a meet ing ul Southern men to take into consideration a subject of vital importance, ns I have long consi dered, to the interests of the South. My views on those subjects were e ,n Tcssej to some extent, in a series of numbers published i last winter at mobile, under the signature of “-fferenterf In those numbers, I endeavored to cull public attention to the subject of direct import into the southern ports —a branch of busi ness a which has actually diminished instead of having increased in the last 15 or 28 years, while the exports have so enormously increased. It is,to my mind, perfectly clear that the South is paying to ihe Northern Cities, and mainly to New Yoik many millions of dollars annually for doing that which they ought to do for thctnsclvcs | and if any proof were wanted of the vast impor tance to New York, of the Southern trade, that proof has been furnished in the last 3 or 4 years- When the great pressure following the remo val of the depositee occurred in 1833-4, the West and the North more generally defaulted in their payments to New York, hut the South, less affected than any other section, paid up almost as punctually as ever, and New York passed the crisis, comparatively unharmed. Sec 111 r cnce this year, the South,from a combination ol causes, has been more cripplied, for the time be in", than any other section of the country, while, the West has been comparatively little injurredi and when the South defaults New York is pros. Irated. I must think New York is too unmindful of what the South has done fur hor in times past and too willing to cast odium upon that section of our country. It is our first duty to pay what we owe, hut our nc.ri is to provide for our future welfare and to render ourselves independent of the North as far as it respect the direct export and import trade. That it is practicable I have no more doubt than I have that it is a duty we owe to ourselves and those who arc to come after us. Entertaining such views, I am glad to see that gentlemen us intelligence and weight of character " r o calling public attention to the subject. 1 apprehend, ioT««r, the meeting may not bo so largo as it would hai'o '" en - lhc nolice bocn made public In the spring, but he that ml y > I have no doubt that enough may bo dou? to l show the South what is her true and only safe policy. A mere export business, where the articles of export arc nut of a very varied character, cannot sustain the population of any city for any length of time, and as an evidence of this I refer to Savannah and Charleston, hath of which lan guished lor many years even while their exports were increased, while New York fading as the factor for the South) steadily & rapidly increas ed, having, I may say, nothing of her own to export. The South must not only export for herself, but she must improve her great natural advan tages for manufacturing, and the two branches of business will reciprocally stimulate and sustain each other. If, for example, the country merchant can find his supply and assortment of foreign manufac tures at Charleston, -Savannah,.Mobile and New Oilcans, and his domestic goads at the various points in the interior, where nature has furnished the water power, ho will uo longer bo under the necessity o( making a long and expensive jour ney to the North, hut can command his supplies from the nearest point in the State of bis own residence, and the mere saving of time and money by pursuing this course, will accumulate an amount of wealth that at first sight would appear incredible. The mineral resources of the South, except Gold, (the least valuable of all} are almost un known, but when developed will add immense y to her wealth and independence. These subjects are exciting a great deal of attention in this State. The business of direct import is certainly increasing and successfully prosecuted—and manufactures are rapidiy in creasing, and I make no doubt that very soon the export trade of Va. will be of far less value to her than her import and manufacturing business. T*v i;\rkfs* from the Philadelphia Commercial Herald, Oct. 84 AUDACIOUS PIRACY—PACKET SHIP SUSQUEHANNA, prom Philadelphia for Liverpool, captured by pirates off the Capes of the Delaware. Lewis, Oct. 23, Sunday evening, 8 o'clock. Mr. J. Coflee—We have just received informa tion by the pilot boat Mary, per Mr. Jas. M. West and Mr. Edward Maul, two good pilots, that the packet skip Susquehanna, which went to sea at two o'clock yesterday, was captured by a piratical schooner, off the five fathoms bank. 'i’ho wind being at the north, she bore ofl to i the southward, and at dark was off in Indian ri ver. The ship was by wind at the lime of cap ture. The wind has been fiom the southward to ’ day, and 1 have employed an express to go to ‘ Milford and New Castle, to send the Nows to i Norfolk so as to enable an armed vessel to cut I her ofl'. It ought to be sent to New York at once, as with the shift of wind the pirates may shift their 1 course. I The wind is light at S. W. or I would send up i a pilot boat as it is.

M.—The fleet of Liverpool, Lon don and Havre packets that have reached ns within the last five days have furnished us with co pifiiis files of Prices Currents and in telligence from all parts of England and the Cori tinet. It appears that the wounds inflicted in the most commercial and mercantile places by the great feVulskm in America, had nearly healed over. It has left however, a reality that they were not sensible of themselves, and which will not soon be obliterated, and that is the importance of the American trade. Since the withdrawal ol orders from the United States, many of the wotk shops of Lyons and other places had been en tirely deserted, and thousands had been compell ed to flee into the country and till the ground for a living. It is evident however, by the last advi ces, that on the continent particularly, as well as ■ in England, there was a decided improvement. Money, in most places, had become abtjn^ in t 1 i ami •» cucap rale. Confidence was ieatorod, ' and facilities were affjidfd lor not only to liquid -1 ato old engagements,hut to engage in new pur f suits, thus former difficulties were overcome and | health rcstoied. The accounts frem the United Stales were of 1 the most int<piiing character. The tide as we pre dicted long since, of ihe feeling towards this coun f try is completely turned. When ruin and hank - ruptciea were the only tidings waited across the water—when there was a total suspension of specie payments hy all the banks, it was natural 1 for them to think that all or nearly all was lost, ) and had several of the leading presses confined r their remarks to the charge of a want ol punctual ity, and omitted that of honor and good faith, we > should not have blamed them. Now the feeling runs in the opposite direction —ship after ship l follows in rapid succession with hundreds of thou , sands of the precious metals. Vessel after vessel with our valuable products crowd their wharves. The debt which they deemed in sa great jeopar dy is either paid off or in a rapid s ale of jtqutda i tion—add to this a disposition to engage in busi , ness, which is apparent, and as the Americans have heretofore been their best customers, they are anxious to engage with them a new. ' la the principal markets on the Continent,Am sterdam, Havre, Antwerp and Hamburg, the raw material,jCotton, has improved, and a good feeling prevails. Slocks were generally light and the same improvement felt in the manufacturing dis i tricts. In collonial produce, particularly in Coft'eo, there had been a decided change. This great leading article had been for two or three years selling at 30 per cent under the former prices.— An advance has generally taken place, as the sales in France, Germany and Belgium show.— Indigo and Cochineal both range higher than they did. In the south of Europe Olive Oil had ad vance jdowing to the diminished slock. There had been large speculations in Grain in different parts of England, founded on an appre hension of a scarcity, from an unfavorable state 1 of the weather that had been experienced during the first part of the month of September. This is a subject in that country that is considered par amount to all others, and it is not to be wondered at, that any jeopardy in which the crop might be 1 placed in, would excite not only general atten tion, but extensive speculations. It appears, however, that a more favorable change of weath er had been experienced, and the leading circular on that subject says, that from all the intelligence from every part of the country that they have re ceived, they are convinced that tho_ forthcoming crop ofwheat, so far as England is concerned, will he barely "equal to an average crop.
