I Washington, Juno 30.
I Another project for a fiscal agent was
I presented to-day by Mr. Adams. ‘ It is the
I plan of Mr. Alexander Hamilton, of Now
for an exchequer of issues, w ith a
of fifty millions, two fifths to beta-
H;e., by the Government. It was referred
Hjothe select committee on the currency.
Some petitions for and against a national
■panic were presented and referred ; also
■many petitions fora general bankrupt law.
I The discussion of the bill for distributing
■ the proceeds of the sales of the public lands
■ was continued in Committee of the Whole.
I Mr. W. Cost Johnson concluded his intro-
I ductory remarks in support of the bill.—
I “He contended that the lands were the prop-
I erty of the State for whose benefit they were
| ceded or acquired ; that the States now
needed, and ought to have the revenue ari
sing from them ; that the general govern
ment could do without it, and would bene
fit the tobacco interest and grain growing
interest of the Union by imposing duties on
foreign luxuries.
Mr. Clifford, of Maine, who opposed the
bill, contended on the other hand, that the
revenue for some time to come, including
that from the lands, would bo but barely
•adequate to the wants of an economical
administration ; that the proposition of ma
king up the loss of the revenue from the
lands by duties ou luxuries, was delusive ;
that the duty of twenty per cent, on wines
and silks would not amount to half the sum
proposed to ho abstracted from the revenue;
but that, it this hill passed, the deficiency
must be made up in one of three ways, viz:
by a duty of twenty percent, ad valorem
on thd necessaries of life—such as tea cof
-•• e, sugar, molasses, suit, Ac. which propo
- tion was now before the Committee of
Ways and Means; by a permanent and
annually increasing national debt ; or by
a resort to a high protective tariff. He al
so disputed the constitutionality of the hill
as it was an absolute grant of money in the
treasury totho Btates, not the payment of a
debt. The lands were indebted to the gov
ernment some ten millions over and above
ail the sums that had been received from
them. He denied its expediency, too, in
asmuch as it would not benefit the States—
taking from them in taxes more than it gave
them.
The debate v. ili be continued to-day.—
The House is already weary of it. The
two speeches have presented all the argu
ments pro and contra, and it is to be hoped
the House will act upon it speedily.
‘File Senate was engaged in maturing
the details of the bank bill. Mr. Clay of
fered a number of amendments, which were
discussed and disposed of. lie moved to
strike out that part of the 18th section
w hich restricts the bank from discounting
when its circulation shall exceed three
tunes the amount of the specie in its vaults.
He thought the restriction useless. But
Mr. Walker, Mr. Buchannan and Mr.
Woodbury opposed the motion on the
ground that it would tempt the bank to ex
pand the currency too much, and the mo
tion was modified so as to leave the section
pretty much as it was.
Mr. Clay will offer oilier amendments
to-day.
The weather has been excessively hot
again.
Washington, July 2.
The proccrdings of the Senate, yester
day, were full of interest. Mr. Rives
brought forward his amendment totho Fis
cal Bank bill, in the words ofthe Treasury
project requiring the assent of the States to
the establishment of branches. lie sup
ported the motion in a very earnest and
eloquent speech, advocating it as a com
promise between those who wishing for a
bank, had constitutional scruples as to the
power of Congress on the subject, and those
who had no such scruples. The amend
ment neither asserted nor denied the pow
er to establish branches, without the as
sent of the States. If left the disputed
ground untouched, and, in practical effect
could produce no injury. He still prefer
red the State Bond system himself, but as
there was no chance for that, he would, for
the sake of peace, for the sake of giving
shelter and repose to the interests of the
country, embrace the plan which the ad
ministration, upon its responsibility and af
ter mature deliberation, had given us.
Mr. Clay opposed the amendment in the
most decided manner, denouncing it as mis
chievous and unnecessary, aud as a sacri
fice of an important settled question to pre
judice which he believed to be confined to
a small and decreasing party in Virginia,
lie did not believe the President had indica
ted any opposition to the bill before the
Senate. The Senate must prepare its
measures without reference to any opinion
lhat the President might be disposed to en
tertain ; and, if there should he a differ
ence between the legislative and the execu
tive branch upon the bill, we must then de
vise some new expedient.
Mr. Preston spoke, at length, in support
ofthe amendment of Mr. Rives.
Mr. Merrick will probably speak on the
same side to-day.
Several other Senators of the whig side
will vote for Mr. [lives’ amendment.—
With the aid of the loco-foco Senators the
amendments must prevail. The hill can
not pass in the form proposed by Mr. Clay.
The journals of the Opposition have ta
ken frequent occasion of lata to exult at
what they have been pleased to term the
‘dissensions’’ among the Whigs. The Na
tional Intelligencer of yesterday, with a
view to undeceive any who may have indul
ged iu the idea of a division in the ranks of
the Whigs, assures them “when the time
for action arrives—that is, when measures
have been discussed and matured—that a
sufficient majority ofthe Whigs will be true
to the principles which they have been e-
Iccted to carry out.” ‘Fite Intelligencer
goes on to say :
“ We speak with confidence when we
express our conviction that nothing could
give more pain to the President than the
supposition that any political fiicnd of his
would impute to him any movement or any
sentiment lending to sow distrust amongst
the Whigs against each other, and, above
all to [dace him under the suspicion of fa
voring a party in Congress distinct from
the great body ofthe Whigs.”
it may be that the freedom which has
characterised the Whig press in approv
ing or dissenting from particular features
in various proposed measures of public pol
icy, has been one cause of the opinion en
tertained by our opponents respecting divis
ions in the party, [f in their view it is
necessary to the organization of a party
that every measure proposed by its leaders
must bo sustained without amendment or
change, and without regard to the policy
and justice of the measure itself—if every
dictate from head quarters is to bo blindly
obeyed without question or hesitation—we
can only say that such an idea of party or
ganization is in ill keeping with our notions
of republican freedom. There is an en
larged spirit characteristic of men who deal
with principles—a liberal spirit, which
trusting to the power of reason and of truth
is not disposed to puttyranioal restrictions
upon the thoughts or expressions of any,
nor to vi.-dt with jealous vindictiveness a
want of minute conformity in every partic
ular. This spirit may dwell in politics, as
well as in other spheres of life, and we
hope that it IfovaysVill remain, to distin
guish the Constitutional Party ofthe Union
from all other parties or factions.—Balti

DEATH OF GEN. MACOMB!
We regret to announce the death of Ma
jor General Alexander Macomb, the Gcn’l.
in Chief of the United States Army which
occurred at half past tAvoo’cloek vt sterdav.
His funeral will take place on Monday
next at 10 o’clock A. M.
Gen. Macomb entered the services as a
cornet of dragoons in 1709, an 1 was in the
military family of General Alexander
Hamilton; he commanded at the success
ful battle of Plattsburg during the war of
1812; received a gold medal i’/om Congress
for his gallantry, and was appointed, by
President J. (j. Adams, Command ng Gen
eral of the army of the Unit.,l Ftatcs, in
place of Gen. Brown, immediately after
his decease, which took place in February
1838. Since that period, (in. Mac mb
has discharged the duties of his office in
l his city, excepting occasion; I absonc •to
the frontiers of the Union in obedience to
the calls ofthe service.— M.i Usouian.
The following, told by the Cone rd Free
man, is probably r.r true now as it ever
was ; and it is too good a story to be lost,
at any rate :
Some years ago a bill was reported in;
the New Y ork [louse of Assembly entitled
“ An Act for the preservation of the Heath
ITen and other Game.” The Speaker of
the House who wa probably not much ofa
sportsman, gravely read it*—“An Act for
the preservation ofthe Heathen and othe*r
Game, a blunder of which he was uncon
scious until an honest member from the
North who had suffered considerably by the
depredations of the frontier Indians, moved
an amendment by adding the words—“ ex
cept Indians.” After the mistake of the
Speaker was corrected, the amendment of
course became unnecessary and was with
drawn.
The New York correspondent of the
Madisonian, under date of June 16, says :
The Custom House investigation goes on
gloriously, but will not probably be con
cluded for a fortnight yet. At least two
Penitentiaries full of double-refined rascal
ity will be disclosed, and there is great
hope that it can be brought home to its real
authors. If'so, it will be rich indeed.—
Our importing merchants are in high glee
about it.
THE MORMONS.
The New Y’ork Journal of Commeoce
lias received a letter from a gentleman re
siding near Nauvoo, giving an account of
an excitement which exists against the Mor
mons and the arrest of Jo Smith, from
which it appears that the scenes enacted in
Misouri, are in danger of being repeated in
lowa. The feeling against them arose, it
seems from their having taken possession of
a tract of land, about 120,000 acres which
had been purchased from the Indians by the
whites, and were about toTbe divided among
the lawful claimants by partition. The
Mormons took possession, it is said, claim
ing a title direct from the Creator. In ad
dition to despoiling the lands of much val
uable timber, they now forbid the Commis
sioners and Surveyors, on pain of death, to
attempt a survey and partition. Joe Smith
was arrested by the authorities of Illinois
on a requisition from the Governor of Mis
souri. Martin Harris who was one of the
witnesses to the book of Mormon, and who
has been for some time lecturing in 111 i
noise against the Mormons, was found dead
having been shot though the head. The
Quincy (111.) Whig, confirms the account
ol the arrest of Joe Smith, the Mormon
prophet, under a writ issued by Governor
Carlin, in compliance with a demand made
two years ago, by Governor Boggs, on the
all edge charged of treason against the State
of Missouri. Smith applied to Judge Dou
glass fora habeas corpus, which was gran
ted, and is not yet disposed of.
THE OLDEST REPUBLIC ON
EARTH.
The American Quarterly Review con
tains a letter from G. W. Erving, Esq.,
giving a sketch of bis visit to San Marino,
a small republic in Italy, between the Ap
pennines, the Po, and the Adriatic. The
territory of the state is only 40 miles in
circumference, anil its population about
7000. The republic was founded more
than 1400 years ago, on moral principles,
industry and equality, and has preserved
its liberty and independence amidst all the
wars and discords which have raged around
if. Bonaparte respected it, and sent an
embassy to express his sentiments of friend
ship and fraternity. It is governed by a
Captain Regent, chosen every six months
by the representatives of the people, 66 in
number, who arc chosen every six months
by the people.
‘Flic taxes are light, the farm houses are
neat, the fields well cultivated, and on all
sides arc seen comfort and peace, the hap
py effects of morality, simplicity, liberty,
and justice. Mr. Erving was received by
some intelligent citizens in the most hospi
table and affectionate manner ; they were
delighted with him because he was an A
mcriean. They professed a profound at
tachment to our country, and looked to it as
the preserver of their own pure principles;
they were intimately acquainted with our
institutions and affairs, and had a library
well furnished with books and pamphlets
relating to America.
AN IRON HOUSE.
A gentleman of Brussels has constructed
an iron house, which is said to answer the
objects intended in a .satisfactory manner:
The walls are hollow, and the hotair cir
culates from a central point in the kitchen
through the intervals its the walls, and by
Means of valves the quantity to be admit
ted may he regulated. A house consist
ing of 17 rooms will cost £1,165, while a
house of the same size in brick would cost
£1,157. The rooms are arranged on three
floors. The whole weight is 707.! tons,
nvoii lupois, (810.000 kilogrammes.) The
advantage of this structure ofhouse is rep
resented to be its permanent nature and the
facility with which it may be moved.—
The expense of carrying it from Brussels
to’Leige, to Ghent, or to Antwerp; would be
about £25.
This is a subject well worthy the atten
tion ofthe friends of home manufactures
in Pensylvania. It appears to us that the
real uses of iron are not adequately appre
ciated by the great mass ofthe community.
Also that those immediately and deeply
interested, have not exerted themselves in
an adequate manner, or with a view to the
more general adaption of this invaluable
metal to the many objects to which it may
be applied. The iron masters of Virginia
are we perceive, about to hold a conven
tion with reference to their peculiar busi
ness and interests. Pensylvania should
send a delegation to that Convention, in or
der that something like a mutual under
standing might exist, and proper coopera
tion be determined upon. The iron trade
of this country is yet in its infancy. — Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
YANKEE CLOCKS.
It happens very seldom that a full blood
ed Yankee—a lineal discendant of the pil
grim fathers, is found breaking the laws of
his country. But then they do have such
queer ways of getting around them. The
sapient lawyers of Missouri have placed se
vere restrictions on the selling of Y ankee
clocks, so severe indeed, as to almost a
mount to a prohibition. The Y’atikecs, of
course, ceased to sell them when the trade
became unprofitable, and they were too
conscientious to break the laws. But they
have found out anew mode of getting rid
ofthe surplus products of their industry.—
We have among us two admirable speci
mens of the Yankee nation who are leasing
clocks for ninety nine years. They say
that their clocks “are going oft’ like hot
cakes.” —Hannibal Journal.
Mr. Hill, the well known delineator of
Y’ankee characters, has been lecturing jn
Boston on the manners, customs, Ac., of
New-England. In one of his discourses,
he thus humourously alludes to Jonathan's
capability of turning his talents to account
in all situations :
“ If you place him on a rock in the midst
of the ocean, with a penknife and a bundle
of shingles, he would manage to work his
way on shore. Ho sells salmon from Ken
nebec to the people of Charleston ; had
dock, “ fresh from Cape Cod,” to the plan
ter of Matanzas ; raises coffee in Cuba ;
swaps mules and horses for molasses in
Porto Rico; retails ice from Fresh Pond,
in Cambridge, to the East Indies ; mutton
from Brighton, at New Orleans and South
America; manufactures Monts Multicau
lis for the governor of Jamaica; becomes
an admiral in foreign nations; starts in a
cockle-shell craft of 15 tons, loaded with
onions, mackarel, and notions (too numer
ous to mention.) for Valparaiso; baits ids
traps on the Columbia river ; catches wild
beasts in Africa for Mucomber A Go’s car
avan ; sells granite on contract to rc-build
San Juan do Ulloa ; is ready, like Led
vard, to start for Timbuctoo “to-morrow
morning ;” exiles himself for years from
his home, to sketch in their own wilderness
the “ wild men ofthe woods,” and astonish
es refined Europe with the seeming pres
ence of the untutored savage ; introduced
to Metternich, he asks him, “ what’s the
news ?” ; says “ how do you do, inarm ?”
to Victoria ; and prescribes Thompson’s
eyewater to the Mandarins of China !”

From the Southern Planter.
CORN COBS FOR CATTLE.
C. T. Botts —My Dear Sir
pleased with your recommendation of cob
meal in the last number ofthe Planter. I
am perfectly satisfied ofthe value of it.—
Having understood that Col. Burfoot, of
Chesterfield, never wasted a cob, but con
sidered it capital feed, I took some pains to
discover bis mode of using them. It is as
follows : Whenever he shells corn for mill
the cobs are thrown into a half hogshead of
salt and water, to which his cows have ac
cess. By the time lie sends to mill again,
there is plenty of room for more cobs. I
have tried this plan with great success,—
l The cobs are hardly soaked by the salt wa
iter, bofore they are eagerly devoured by
Imy cattle. I would as soon think of throw-
I ing away my fodder as my corn cobs.
Yours, A. B. S.
Wo have understood, upon inquiry, that
Col. Burfoot now boils his cobs, instead of
| soaking them. He breaks them with an
I axe, and throws them into his ti ed kettle,
j and we are assured that their is no portion
: ofits contents that ate preferred to these
bits ofcorn cob.
These plans are no doubt bath good ;
much better than throwing away an article
that contains so much nutriment; but,
where it could be done conveniently, we
should greatly prefer to relieve the animal
from the labor and trouble, which he fre
quently only half performs, of grinding the
cob, Besides, when ground, it is food for
either horse or cattle. If its nulrious
qualities are admitted, there is surely as
much reason in grinding the cob as in grin
ding the grain.

RASCALITY WITHOUT A PARAL
LEL.
While in YVashington ten days ago, the
following statement from the Louisville
Journal was put into our hands. Notwith
standing all the known and unknown in
stances of official corruption under the late
Administration, we could scarcely credit a
tale of such unfdusliing viilanv, and we
straightway applied to the genera! Post of
fice for information. We were there in
formed that it was true to the letter :
“ When Mr. Barry was Postmaster-gen
eral, a committee was appointed by the U.
States Senate to investigate the affairs of
j the Post Office Department. The investi
j gation resulted in the very able report made
by Mr. Ewing, in which divers extra al
| lowances, and other corruption, were duly
J made known totho people ofthe country.
To parry the e ffects of that startling” re
port Mr. Barry, itrnay be remembered, pub
lished a pamphlet, a vindication, so called,
of his conduct. This pamphlet was of
course an individual, and not an official
document. Nevertheless, ho agreed to pay
to the editors ofthe Globe, Messrs, Blair &
Rives, $1,569 for printing it, and charged j
the amount to the Government l
When Amos Kendall succeeded Mr. Bar- !
rv, as Postmaster General, he glanced o- I
ver the books of the department and saw
this item of $1,500. Afraid that another
investigation would soon take [dace, and
that this extraordinary item would thus he
brought to light, he made Blair and Rives
refund the money ; at least he entered it as
refunded on the books. Thus the matter I
remained till the 3d of March 184!, the j
very last day of Mr. Van Ruren’s Admin
istration, when Mr. Niles, the successor of
Kendall as Postmaster General, paid back
the 1500 to Blair A Rives, and an entry
was actually made in the books to that ef
fect !”
The statement, wo repeat, is true, and :
] the facts doubtless constitute a fair speci-I
j men ofthe conduct of the Post office De- j
j partment during the twelve years antece- ]
dent to the 4th of March last. Bevond ail
1 doubt that department has, during that-pe
j riod, been one of foulest dense of corruption
| that ever existed in a civilized nation.—— \
From another but well advised source we
were informed that being out of funds,
Niles drew upon a Pensylvania postmaster
in favor of Blair for the amount. The lat
ter was in great haste to oftain the amount
before Mr. Granger got into power, and
| proposed sending an express to Pensylva
! ilia for the money, to prevent the possibil
ity of defeat. Let there be a. resolution of
enqury in the House of Representatives.

most as cunning as if a Lawyer had said it. Our j

general drift of that appeal to us, it ain’t !, ard to j
discover that he’s got a genus tor lewis latino 1 . j
If he ain’t got til,it genus, thou I’m mistaken,°and
