tain, immediate, and convenient exchange of such notes for specie. The Government did indeed receive the inconvertible note of Htate banks during the difficulties of war ; and the community submitted without a murmur to the unequal taxation and multiplied evils of which such a course was productive. With the war, this indulgence ceased, and the banks were obliged again to redeem their notes in gold and silver. The Treasury, in accordance with previous practice, continued to dispense with the currency required by the act of 178 U, and took the notes of banks in full confidence of their being paid in specie on demand ; and Congress to guard against the slightest viola tion of this principle, have declared, by law, that if notes are ]>aid in the transactions of the Government, it must be under such cir cumstances as to enable the holder to convert them into specie without depreciation or de lay. Os my own duties under the existing laws, when the banks suspended specie payments, 1 could not doubt Directions were immediately given to prevent the reception into the Treasu ry of any tiling but goldand silver or its equiv alent and every practicable arrangement was made to preserve the public faith, by similar equivalent payments to the public creditors.— The revenue from lands had been for some time substantially so collected, under the order issued by the direction of my predecessor. The effect of that order had been so salutary, and its forecast in regard to the increasing inse curity of bank paper had become so apparent, that even before the catastrophe, I had resolv ed not to interfere with its operation. Con gress is now to decide whether the revenue shall continue to be so collected or not. The receipts into the Treasury, of bank notes not redeemed in specie on demand, will not I presume, he sanctioned. It would de stroy, without the excuse of war or public dis tress, that equality of imports, and identity of commercial regulation, which lie at the foun dation of our Confederacy, and would offer to each State a direct temptation to increase its foreign trade, by depreciating the currency received for duties in its ports. Such a pro ceeding would also, in a great decree, frustrate the policy, so highly cherished, of infnsing into our circulation a larger proportion of the pre cious metals, a policy, the wisdom of which none can doubt, though there may be different opinions as to the extent to which it should be carried. Its results have been already too auspicious, and its success is too closely yjter- ; woven with the future prosperity of the country, | to permit us for a moment to contemplate its abandonment Wc have seen, under its in fiuoncc, our specie augmented beyond eighty j million; our coinage increased so as to make that of gold amount, between August 1834, and December, 183fi, to ten millions of dollars; exceeding the whole coinage at the mint dur ing the thirty one previous years. The pros- ! jiect of further improvement continued with- j out abatement until the moment of the suspen-1 sion of specie payments. This policy has now j indeed been suddenly checked, but is still far \ from being overthrown. Amidst all conflict ing theories, one position is undeniable; the ; precious metals will invariably disappear when there ceases to be a necessity for their use, as a circulating medium. It was in strict accord ance with this truth, that whilst, in the month of May last, they were every where seen, and were current for all ordinary purposes,they dis appeared from circulation th« moment the pay- j inent of specie was refused by the banks, and the community tacitly agreed to dispense j with its employment. Their place was sup plied by a currency exclusively of paper, and j in many cases of the worst description. Al- [ ready arc the bank notes now in circulation j greatly depreciated, and they fluctuate in val- j ue between one place and another; thus di-1 ininishing and making uncertain the worth of property and tiie price of labor, and failing to subserve, except at a heavy loss, the purposes of business. With each succeeding day the metalic currency decreases ; by some it is j hoarded in the natural fear, that once parted | with, it cannot he replaced ; while by others it i is diverted from its more legitimate uses, for j tiie sake of gain. Should Congress sanction | this condition of tilings, by making irreJet nia- j hie paper money receivable in payment of public dues, a temporary check to a wise and salutary policy will, in all probability, be con verted into its absolute destruction. It is true that bank notes actually converti ble into specie may be received in payment of tiie revenue, without being liable to all these objections, and that such a course may, to some extent, promote individual Convenience : an object always to be considered where it 1 does not conflict with the principles ofour gov ernment or the general welfare of the country. If such notes only were received, and always under circumstances allowing their early pre sentation for pay ; and if, at short and fixed periods, they were converted into specie, to be kept by the officers of the Treasury, some of the most serious obstacles to their reception would perhaps he removed. To retain the n tes in the Treasury would he to renew, un !er another form, the h -.ns of the public money i ; .> die hanks and the evils consequent thereon. It is, however, a mistaken impression, that any large amount of specie is required for pub lic payments. Os the seventy or eighty mil lions now estimated to bo in the country, ten millions would he abundantly sufficient for that purpose, provided an accumulation of a large amount of revenue, beyond the necessa ry w ants of the Government, he hereafter pre vented. If to these considerations be added the facilities which will arise from enabling the Treasury to satisfy the public creditors, by its drafts or notes received in payment of the public dues, it may be safely assumed that no motive of convenience to the citizens re quires the reception of bank paper. To say that the refusal of paper money by the government, introduces an unjust discrim ination between the currency received by it, and that used by individuals in their ordinary affairs, is, in my judgment, to view it in a very erroneous light The Constitution prohibits the States from making any thing hutgold and silver a tender in the payment of debts, and thus secures to every citizen a right to demand payment in the legal currency. To provide by law that the Government will only receive its dues in gold and silver, is not to coufeteHn it any peculiar privilege ; but merely to place it on an equality with the citizen, by reserving U it a right secured to him by tiie Constitution. It is dqubtless for this reason,that the principle has been sanctioned by successive laws, from the time ot the first Congress under the'Con stitution down to the last Such precedents, never objected to and proceeding from such sources afford a decisive answer to the imputa tion of inequality or injustice. 1 * But, in fact, the measure is one es restriction, not of favon To forbid the public agent to re ceive in payment any other than a certain kind of money, is to refuse him a discretion possess ed by every citizen. It may be left to those who have the management of their ow n trans actions to make their own terms ; but no such discretion should be given to him who acts merely as an agent of the people, who is to collect what the law requires and to pay the appropriations it makes. When hank notes are redeemed on demand, there is then no dis crimination in reality, for the individual who receives them may, at his option, substitute the specie for them ; from convenience or choice. When they are not so redeemed, it will scarce ly be contended that their receipt and payment, by a public officer, should be permitted, though none deny that riirht to an individual; it’ it were, tiie effect would be most injurious to the public, since their officer could make none of those arrangements to meet or guard against the depreciation, which an individual is at lib erty to do. Nor can inconvenience to the com munity be alleged as an objection to such a regulation. Its object and motives are con venience and welfare. If, at a moment of simultaneous and unex pected suspension by the banks, it adds some thing to die many embarrassments of that pro ceeding, yet these are far overbalanced by its direct tendency to produce a wider circulation of gold and silver, to increase the safety of bank paper, to improve the general Currency, and thus to prevent altogether such occurren ces, and the other and far greater evils Unit attend them. It may, indeed, be questioned, whether it is not for the interest of the ’ banks themselves that the Government should not receive their paper. They would be conducted with more caution, and on sounder principles. By using sjiecie only in its transactions, the Government would create a demand for it, which would, to a great extent, prevent its exportation, and by keeping it in circulation, maintain a broader and safer basis for the paper currency. That the banks would thus be rendered rhore sound, and the community more safe, cannot admit of a doubt The foregoing view s, it seems to me, do hut fairly carry out the provisions.of the Federal Constitution in relation to the currency, as far as relates to the public revenue. At the time that instrument was framed, there were but three or four banks in the United States ; and had the extension of the banking system, and the evils growing out of it, been foreseen, they would probably have been specially guarded against The same policy which led to the prohibition of bills of credit by the States, would, doubtless, in that event have also inter dicted their issues as a currency in any other form. The Constitution, however, contains no such prohibition ; and, since the States have exercised for nearly half a century the power to regulate the business of banking, it is not to jbe expected that it will be abandoned. The whole matter is now under discussion before the proper tribunal—the people of the States. Never before has the public mind been so thoroughly aw akened to a proper sense of its importance; never Tias the subject in all its bearings, been submitted to so searching an inquiry. It would be distrusting the intelli gence and virtue of the people to doubt the speedy and efficient adoption of such measures Or reform as the public good demands. All that can rightfully be done by the Federal Government, to promote the accomplishment ! of that important object, will without doubt be performed. In the meantime, it is our duty to provide all ! the remedies against a depreciated paper cur | reuey which the Constitution enables us to af [ ford. The Treasury department, on several ! former occasions, has suggested the propriety I and importance of a uniform law concerning bankruptcies of corporations and other bankers. Through the instrumentality of such a law, a salutary chock may doubtless be imposed on the issues of paper money, and an effectual remedy given to the citizen in a way at once j equal in all parts of the Union, and fully au- I tlioriged by the Constitution. The indulgence granted by Executive a.i --| thority in the payment of bonds for duties, h is | been already mentioned. Seeing 'hat the im mediate enforcement of these obligations would subject a large and highly respectable portion ofour citizens to great sacrifices, and believ ing that a temporary postponement could be made without detriment to other interests, and with increased certainty of ultimat e payment, I I did not hesitate to comply with the request that was made me. The terms allowed are, jto the full extent, as liberal as anyth re to j be found in tlm practice, of the Executive De partment. It remains for Congress to decile I whether a further post pone: neat n.y not witii propriety he allowed, and, if -aa .'.eii legisla tion upon the subj. ct, is respect*•: >y invite I. The report of the Secret irv of the Treasury | will exhibit the condition ol these debts ; tiie oxtent and effect of the present indulgence; the probable result of it- further extension on the state of the To any, and every other fact necessary to a fuh consular ition of the subject. Similar information is com.uunidated in regard to such depositories of the public moneys as are indebted to the Government, in order that Congress may also adopt the proper measures in regard to them. j The receipts and expenditures for the first ■ half of the year, and an estimate of those for I the residue, will be laid before you by the Sec retary of the Treasury ! In his report of De cember last, it was estimated that the current receipts would fall short of the expendi tures by about throe millions of dollars. It will be seen that the difference will be much greater. This is to be attributed not only to the occurrence of greater pecuniary embar rassments in the business of the country than those which were then predicted, and, conse quently, a greater diminution in the revenue, \ but also to the fact that the appropriation ex j ceeded, by nearly six millions, the amount which was asked for in the estimates then sub mitted. The sum necessary for the service of the year beyond the probable receipts, and the amount which it was intended should be re served in the Treasury at the commencement of the year, will be about six millions. If the whole of thd reserved balance he not at once i applied to the current expenditures, but four millions be still kept in the Treasury, as seems 1 most expedient, for the uses of the mint, and to meet contingencies, the sum needed will be ten millions, j In making this estimate the receipts are cal ( culated on the supposition of some further ex tension of the indulgence granted in the pay ment of bonds for duties, which wjU effect the amount of the revenue for the present year to I the extent of two and a half millions. It is not proposed to procure the required a- I mount by loans or increased taxation. There are now in the Treasury nine millions three BigjNSWICK ADVOCATE, hundred and sixty-seven thousand two hundred and fourteen dollars; directed by the act of the 23d of June, 183 ft, to be deposited with the States in October next This sum, if so deposited, will be subject under tiie law, to be recalled, if needed, to defray existing appro priations ; and as it is now evident that tiie whole, or the principal part of it, will be wan ted for that purpose, it appears most proper that the deposite should be withheld. Until the amount can be collected from the banks, Treasury notes may be tenniorarily issued to be gradually redeemed as it is received. I am aware that this course may be produc tive of inconvenience to many of the States. Relying upon the acts of Congress which held out to them the strong probability, if not the certainty, of receiving this instalment, they have in some instances, adopted measures, with which its retention may seriously inter- 1 sere. That such a condition of things should, have occurred is much to be regretted. It is not the least among the unfortunate results of the disasters of the times ; and it is for Con gress to devise a fit remedy, if there be one. The money being indispensable to the wants of the Treasury it is difficult to conceive up on what principle of justice or expediency its application to that object can he avoided. To recall any portions of the sums already de posited with the States, would be more incon venient and less efficient. To burden the country with increased taxation, when there is in fact a large surplus revenue, would be unjust and unwise ; to raise moneys ljy loans under such circumstances, and thus to com mence anew national debt, would scarcely he ssntioned by the American people. The plan proposed will be adequate to all our fiscal operations, during the remainder of the year. Should it. he adopted, the Treasury, aided by the ample resources of the country, will he able to discharge punctually, every pe cuniary obligation.—For the future, all that is needed will be that caution and lorbearancc in appropriations which the diminution of the revenue requires, and which the complete ac complishment or great forwardness of many expensive national undertakings rentiers equal ly consistent with prudence and patriotic lib erality. The preceding suggestions and recommen dations are submitted, in the belief that their adoption by Congress will enable the Execu tive Department to conduct our fiscal concerns with success, so far as their management has been committed to it Whilst the objects and the means proposed to attain thorn are within its constitution and powers and appropriate duties, they v. ill at the same time, it is hoped, by their necessary operation, afford essentia) aid in the transaction of individual concerns, and thus yield relief to the people at large in a form a clapted to the nature of our Government Those who look to the action of this Government for specific aid to the citizen to relieve embarrass ments arising from losses by revulsions in commerce and credit, lose sight of the ends for which it was created, and the powers with which it is cloatlie.l. It was established to give security to us all, in our lawful and hon orable pursuits, under the lasting safe guard of republican institutions. It was not intended to confer special favors on individuals, or on any classes of them ; to create systems of agriculture, manufactures, or trade ; or to en gage in tln in, either separately or in connec tion with individual citizens or organized asso ciations. If its operations were to be direct ed lor the benefit of any one class, equivalent If ivors must, in justice, be extended to the rest, 1 raid the attempt to bestow such favors with an I equal hand, or even to select those who should most deserve them, would never be silccess ! fill. All communities are apt to look tp Gov j eminent for too much. Even in our own coun- I try, where its powers and duties are so strictly limited, wc arc prone to do so, especially at periods of sudden einbarrssment and distress. But this ought not to be. The framers es our ! excelleii' Constitution, and the peon!:, v ho ap proved it with calm and sagacious dchbera i tion, acted at the time on a sounder principle. They jsoly judge *■ —t the •« G •comment ! lntcrfe:es ..!Ji private pu it", u.? better for the gene.al prospe. y ft is not its: - iiimate object t ke them .ion, or to re ir, by rad r .ms i money or legist itio.i m Pivot i | particular pursuit- - , losses not incur in l.u public service. Tins would be suhsi.ntially t.< use the property of some for the benefit of others. But its real duty—that duty, the per : formance of which makes a good Govern ment the most precious of human blessings— is to enact and enforce a systeu. of general 'a a s commensurate with, but not exceeding, the objects of its establishment, ana to leave every citizen and every interest to reap, under its benign protection, tlic rewards of virtue,in dustry anil prudence. I cannot doubt, thaffrin this, as on all simi lar occasions, the Federal Government will find its agency most conducive to the securi ty and happiness es the people, when limited to the exercise of its conceded power. In never assuming, even for a well meant object, such powers as were not designed to be con ferred upon it we shall in reality do most for the general welfare. To avoid every unneces sary interference with the pursuits ot the cit izen, will result in more benefit than to adopt measures w hich could only assist limited in terests, and are eagerly, but perhaps naturally, sought for, under the pressure, of temporary circumstances. If, therefore, I refrain, from suggesting to Congress any specific plan for . regulating the exchanges of the country; re lieving mercantile embarrassments ; or inter fering with the ordinary operations of foreign or domestic commerce ; it is from a conviction that sucli measures are not within the consti ; tutional province of the General Government, and tli .t their adoption would not promote tiie real permanent welfare of those they mi'dit be designed to aid. The difficulties and distresses of the times, though unquestionably great, are limited in their extent, and cannot as affect ing the permanent the nation. Arising, in a great degree, from the transac tions of foreign and domestic commerce, it is upon them that they have chiefly fallen. The great agricultural interest has, in many parts of the country, suffered comparatively little; and, as if Providence intended to display the munificence of its goodness at the moment of our greatest need ; and in direct contrast to the evils occasioned by the waywardness of 1 man, w e have been blessed throughout our ex tended territory with a season of general health and uncommon fruitfulness. The proceeds of our great staples will soon furnish the means of liquidating debts at home and abroad, and contribute equally to the revjftjL of commer cial activity, and the resto rattan of commer cial credit The banks, estatinhed avowed ly for its support, deriving their profits from it, and resting under obligations to it which cannot be overlooked, will feel at once tiie necessity and justice of Uniting their energies with those of the mercantile interest The suspension of specie payments, at such a time and under such circumstances as we have j lately w itnessed, could not be other than a temporary measure ; and we can scarcely err in believing that the period must soon arrive ! when all that are solvent will redeem their is sues in gold and silver. Dealings abroad na- j turally depend on resources and prosperity at l home. If the debt of our merchants has accu- 1 mulcted, or their credit is impaired, these are , fluctuations always incident to extensive or j extravagant mercantile transactions. But the | ultimate security of such obligations does not admit of question. They are guarantied by the resources of a country, the fruits of whose ! industy uflbrd abundant means of ample liquid- : ation, and by the eyident interest of every | merchant to sustain a credit, hitherto high, by promptly applying these means for its preser vation. » I deeply regret that events have occurred which require um: to ask your consideration of such serious topics. I could have washed that in making my first communication to the assembled representatives of mji country, I had nothing to dwell upon but the of her unalloyed prosperity. Since it is other wise we can only feel more deeply the respon sibility of the respective trusts that have been confided to us, and, under the pressure of dif ficulties, unite in invoking the guidance and aid of the Supreme Ruler of nations, and in laboring with zealous resolution to overcome the difficulties by which we are environed. It is, under such circumstances, a high grat ification to know, by long experience, that we can act for a people to whom the truth, how ever unpromising, can always be spoken with safety ; for the trial of whose patriotism no emergency is too severe and who are sure never to desert a public functionary honestly la boring for the public good. It seems just that they should receive, without delay, any aid in their embarrassments which your deliberations can aflord. Coming directly from the midst Os them, and knowing the course of events in every section of our country, from you may best be learned as well the extent and nature of these embarrassment, as the most desirable measures relief. lam aware, however, that it is not proper to detain you, at present, longer than may be demanded by the special objects for which you are convened. To them, therefore, I have confined my communication , and, believing, it will not he you# own wish to extend your deliberations beyond them, I reserve till the usual period of your annual meeting tliat gen eral information on the state of the Union which the Constitution requires me to give.

The Citizens of Glynn County, favorable to the proposed Convention of business men at Augusta, arc requested to meet at the Court House, in Brunswick, on MONDAY, 2d day t»f October next, at il o’clock, A. M. for the purpose of choosing delegates to attend the Convention. “Tiik Blind Bov's Soi.ii.oqrv.” Wc have inserted in the ‘-Poet's Corner,” some lines with this title, not on account of the smooth ness of the versification or the polish of the language, but from the touchin fplam tiveness, the perfect naturalness of the thoughts. The present age has been eminent ly distinguished for its philanthropy. The deal' have been made to hear, and the blind re ceive their sifrht. The gloomy silence which , had settled on the mouths of the mutes has been broken—the darkness which sealed the eyes of the blind has been dissipated, and they now partake of the pleasures of their kind—their souls are illuminated by the light of religion. The education of the Blind particularly, is a most astonishing phenomenon. Some years since we witnesssed an exhibition of some of the pupils of the Asylum for the Blind, located in Boston. The exhibition to which we allude, took p ace lu the Representatives' Hall, in Au gusta, Maine. The children, a little boy and girl, about ten years old, read in the New Tes tament with ease, feeling th raised letters— they also manifested a surprising knowledge of Geography and Arithmetic, and played the j piano and sung with much science and more - feeling. After this the little boy recited the Soliloquy, and there was sca~eely a dry eye in the room. The Asylum is under the care of Dr. Howe, so well known for his chivalric de votion to Freedom. This gentleman was an active participator in the Greek Revolution, and wrote one of the best histories of that glo ; rious contest. On his return to this country, he was sent by the Polish Society with funds . for the assistance of Poland, and while on his : way, was arrested and imprisoned in one of the | German dungeons, where he remained several i months, and at length by the efforts of Lafayette , was released. His life lias been a constant suc- I cession of moat romantic actions, and he is one of the most interesting men of New England.— He is not more than thirty-five years old, pos s< ssed of a form of much grace and a counte nance of singular power of expression, and is reaily a most eloquent speaker. He addressed the assembly at this time with great simplicity and pathos, and the consequence of the united efforts of himself and pupils was the immediate passage of a bill, placing funds at the disposal of the Executive, for the education of the blind of the State, and at this time several of this un fortunate class are enjoying the blessings of mental culture. It was really a gratifying spectacle to spe men who were continually op posed in the contests of debate, vieing with each otherthe passage of this law, so benefit cent in it* operation—so highly honorable to the Sta|e. Arid we sincerely believe, the visit of Dr- Howe aqd his blind proteges,tended much to preserve that good feeling and harmony, which the excitement and strifes of contending fac tions so frequently destroy.
