Il is enough t> reply lo ho'.h, that special deposiles will give Ihe banks no more power, than if the money were deposited with private ngenls, or sunk in die I ocean. It is lo be beiu sacred and in no event lunched. Mo dial eve., in dns point us view there is no lulvanlage possessed by tire tub Ircasuiy scheme, I confess lint this withdrawal of so much cur rency Irom circulation,which seems to lie so much desired hy some, is die sliungol sbjre ion I have to the plan, it will unavoidably cause an occa sional contreclion and expansion of (he currency which is grcally to he deprecated, liut if this is the true policy, die Treasury circular was a wise sod salutary measure, lor it certainly did prevent banking on Government Urpcs tes lo a great extent. It is no recommendation to me, (hot whilst (his withdraw al of so large a portion us cur rency will he injuriously felt by dm Mouth, that it will he more severely felt in tho Norlh. Nor that whilst allowing il immediately lo flow again into circulation will fructify and enrich die Mouth, i that it would at the same lime in a greater degree Ixuclify and enrich die Norlh.—lt would he poor con'olstion loi my barn being burned, In know \ that my neighbor's dwelling house had been i destroyed by die Name hand. 1 should nut cease In pray tor rein upon my (laichcd field, because that rain would be of more service to my neigh bor than lo me.

Much a acnliment is ungenerous, unpatriotic,not American,notjs Mouth Carolinian. Whoever can he actuated by it, however honest > and sincere the feeling may ho, woiald act mure woilhily If he would openly propose lo dissolve a linion, which isnot worth preserving one me inrnt, if such a feeling should become general. It is a feeling (letter betiding hostile and predatory hordes, than inviiihcrs of the same confederacy. It is (rue that more of the public money would be deposited wilh Northern Banks 1 Ifsuit can only be because more of it is collected there. If mure of ihuir murrey is withdrawn from Ihoir cir culation by the government, is it any thing un fair (hat it should as speedily as may be, be (brown back into circulation, giving them back their own, no morel The people of the North, Cod knows, have sins enough towards us to answer fur: they have jually excited a deep and abiding feeling us wrong and injury, on our part, and tho alrangestof all the sliange things of the day would bo that I should become their ap dogis:. Hut I have nu patience with those who menially call up this feeling in mailer* such us ihe cur rency, with which il has no earthly connexion. Lotus noi hale one jot of our stem uud fixed purpose of resisting the slightest encroachment upon our peculiar rights and institutions. And if we ever should find f which God avert) that our union has failed lu uccompliah the purpose for which it was instituted, let us leave it, Inr I until then in God's name, Id us act ns becomes our high charadcr and ilc-liny, with a just and fair regard lo the interests of all, nut with those narrow sectional views which wc have so much denounced in utheis, mid (hat still more detesta ble feeling ot mean malignity which would make us forego the benefit of a measure, because that benefit may lie shared with oilier*. lam oppos ed lo the I’d Hank system for otln r reasons, for the pali which it gives mainly, hut not for the reason ilnil d.aeounts are made upon depos in'-, and still less for the reason, that whilst it is a blessing to bulb sections, it is must so to (lie Noi ifi. No just or freegovo nmeiil could endure twelve month* on such principles. But il is par ticularly unwise in us, the weaker interest, to a vow such, and it ill hceomss those who boast such an equal and patriotic regard tu (he interests of all section*, and such a high disdain of all sel- Irish, sectional, and pecuniary influences, those who set themselves up as llic very “looking glas ses” in which nil patriots should dross themselves. I know dial tho Mub.Trcasuiy scheme and (he demand of ihe dues of the government in specie, have Iho authority of a dislin guiahed citizen us the Mlale in their favor, one who has won the confidence of lha ■Stale by devotion to her in the worst of times.— Vet it imi-l be irint'inbried, that there are names of high authority on ihe oilier side. Il has been well Maid that “live only use of great names is lo set off against each other” and whilst the name of Mr. Cslhuuu is one of great and unquestion able authority, those of Chevec, Hayne, Hamilton, M'Dullie, ‘reslon, and others, arc not lightly lo lie regarded in any matter involving then honor or the interests of ihe Slate. I* I sink from Ihe Hook as lo all. Mr. McUulliie may and probably dues prefer (lie Mub-Trraduries lo the I’cC Hanks.— He d.»e* nol I presume prefer ihsm to special de posits*, and I know that he regards Ihe proposi lion to demand Government dues in s|Mvie with tire same ablionrnco than Ire did when in 1834, he denounced il as the must audneious imposture dial had ever been attempted upon human igno rance and credulity, having no parallel in history and none in fiction, unless in Moore’s Veiled Prohcl of Khoras-an, 1 repeat that I ask no au thority lor these names but lo set off against each oilier. Thraldom of any man's opinions is in iudididuals evidence of feebleness of undeistan diug, in communities of degeneracy. The lonyciily of Jitl'eison, Madison,and Mar shall. has had a most deleterious influence upon lire freedom of thought and lire vigor of intellect "f Virginia. They have lieen in some sort lire thinking machines of lire whole Slate. 1 trust in lord Ilnil we shall never erect such ainaehiue. No people deserve lo be free,nor long will be in, who adopt any man’s opinion* blindfold, or fear to nl'aek errors of opinion behind whatever names entrenched. II a* il i*said, and I believe truly, then Mr. Oslhun IS liiinsslfiu favor of special deposiles with lire Banka, the only point of differem-e he.

We received yesterday a paper from Houslon, dated the 2d hist, brought by Capt. Wtight of the steam packet Columbia. The C. made the tun from Velasco to the South West Pass in the short space of thirty hours. 'The Columbia brought a crowd of passengers from Texas. The Constitution, Captain Auld, also arrived yesterday. Sho left Galveston Bay ou lire 2d inst, and behaved well during her trip. We give below all tllC extracts gs interest for nished by theso two arttvals. The Houston Telegraph of the 2d is dallied tu mourning, for in that paper the fact is announ ced, that Deaf Smith is dead ! Ho died at Fort Bend on the 30th November. His iron frame, says the Telegraph, sunk under severe fatigues and exposures, to which he has too willingly subjected himself. This singular individual was otic of those few men whose names alone, hear with them more respect than sound ing titles. Major, Colonel, General, sink into . insignificance before the simple, ordinary name of Deaf Smith; that name is identified with the battle li -Ids of Texas, his eulogy is inseparably interwoven with the most thrilling annals of that country, anil will long yield to their traditionary narratives a peculiar interest. The Texain Congress was in session on the 2d inst. It was expected lo adjourn in a few day*. Resolutions had been possed granting tellers of marque and reprisal, and every act of this body seems lo portend further difficulties with Mexico. An act har bven passed to augment the navy of the country, and an appropriation for that pur pose. The financial affairs of Texas are rathei un settled. It was hoped Congress would do some thing to place Ihe credit of lire newJßepublic on a sure and sound hasie. An officer of govern ment had gambled away S3OOO of the public funds. The Texian people think more of fight ingjust nrw than they do the future stahlity of their government. Many eyes hend toward the walla of Mexico, and the prevailing feeling isdomanin and conquest. The health of President Houslon is very had. Ho is suffering greatly frum a wound received while fighting the battles ot his. country. ifliu liie'lntelligence.
