The difficulty in relation to this individ ual, seems as far from being settled as ever. The Supreme Court of New-York has de cided against his discharge upon a habeas corpus, and lie has been remanded for trial. The decision may, however, be yet brought before the Court of Errors and reversed, or he carried to the Supreme Court of tho U nited States, for final decision. If neither of these events happen, or if the Judgement of the Supreme Court is confirmed by those higher tribunals, he will be tried by a Jury, and if found guilty, will be hung. Then comes war with England, for that country is now too far committed in his defence to retrograde. We have full confidence, however, that every honorable means will he used by our government to avert the calamity of war. The present administration has a delicate and difficult part to act in this matter, em barrassed as it is, at home, by the intrigues and clamors of a desperate and defeated faction, which is ready whenever any rea sonable or honorable attempt is made to u void the impending danger of war, to cry out that the honor of'the country is compro mised, as if the honor of the country was very dear to them, whose whole conduct, while in power, was a dishonor to the coun try. Let this matter terminate as it will ; let there he peace or war, either event will form, with the Loco focos, cause for pre tended displeasure against the picsent ad ministration. If war comes, they will charge upon the Whig party the destruc tion of'our defenceless cities, the ruin of our commerce, and the slaughter of our citi zens ; if peace, then they will cry, our national honor is stained, our country is dishonored, and our glory has departed for ever. They care not which event happens, so it only gives effect to their war-cry— Down with the Whigs.” We trust, however, that they will be in a great measure, disappointed. With such men as we now have at the head of the go vernment, we have full confidence Shat war, a calamity ruinous to this country, and more especially to the South, will be avert ed, and that too by no compromise detri mental to national honor. Van Buren, were he now in power, would easily find some way to creep out of the dilemma ; but creeping may not be expected of such men as Tyler and Webster. They will face the difficulty firmly and nobly. After eve ry honorable concession mads for the sake of peace, if war must come they will not a void its responsibility. A Aafiouai k-ik • The Columbus Times, in remarking up on an expression attributed to Mr. Alford, viz.: lhat his constituents scut him to Con gress to make a Bank, attempts to make it appear that the issue of “ Bank or No Bank” was not presented to the people dur ing the Presidential contest of last year, and proceeds to ask if the Georgia Journal, the Macon Messenger, the Athens Whig, and the Washington News “have expres sed an open and decided preference for a National Bank ?” To this question, we answer for ourselves alone, that if the Editor of the Times had so far honored us as to have bestowed much attention to our course in relation to the Bank, he would have had no occasion to have asked the question. Our advocacy of a National Bank has been open, plain, and undisguised. We have on every prop er occasion avowed ourselves in favor of such an institution and we have followed the load of no man, nor of any other Journ al in this matter. Indeed, when we first took our stand we were almost alone a rnang the Whig journals of this State. When v. e enlisted in support of General ■C-larrison, we could not be supposed to dif fer from him in his opinion on this important subject. He was in favor of a Bank pro vided “it was plain that the revenues of the Union could only he collected and dis bursed, in the most effectual way, by means of a Bank, and if In was clearly of opinion tiiat a majority of the people of the United States desired such an institution, then and then only would ho sanction it.” In this Gen. Harrison’s opinion was identical with Madison’s. Tho contingency which would have caused Gen. H. m sanction the nun sure, in our opinion, happened long before his election—we therefore gave him our support, and by so doing, declared our selves in favor of the institution. As to the constitutionality of the Bank, we, who have learned our polities in the State Rights school, acted and believed with that party; and opposed it when we dounted its expedi ency or necessity to carry out tho powers granted to Congress. Our opinion chang ed when that necessity became obvious.— When tho constitutionality is so doubtful that we find most of the greatest constitu tional lawyers and statesmen at one time opposing and at another advocating the in stitution, we are willing, like them, to yield our doubts, in consideration of its manifest necessity. Wc were not vain enough to put our weak judgement in opposition to the “ fathers of the Constitution.” The Editor of the Times is mistaken in intimating that the issue of “Bank or No Bank,” was not made to the people during the Presidential contest. In this part of the State, the charges made by the Van Buren orators against Harrison, were, that tie was a Federalist, Abolitionist, and a Bank man ; the two first charges were in dignantly and successfully repelled, the latter was confessed, so far as his opinions which we have quoted above, made him a Bank man, and the constitutionality and necessity of a Bank was triumphantly urg ed in reply. By this course, an issue on the question was plainly made to the peo ple. How they decided the question, the Times knows. Besides, the Van Buren men themselves declared the contest to b,e a question of Bank jor No Bank. All their papers from the Savannah Telegraph down to the Standard of Union, averred that this was the question at issue. And tins was so well understood that many of the followers of Colquitt & Cos. seperated from the State Rights party for this very cause ; few of them believed the ridiculous accusations against General Harrison, that he was a Federalist or Abo j litionist, but they believed, as was asserted by the Van Buren papers, that the contest was, in reality, between the opponents and the supporters of the Bank, they believed Gen. H. to be of the latter class, therefore they rejected him. The Times must then either allow that the question was submit ted to the people, or that its brethren of the same party were unworthy of credit. VVe pen these hasty remarks only to cor rect the impression which may be convey ed by the article of the Times, that we have attempted to conceal our opinions, and also that our position may hereafter not be mis understood, by that or any other paper, it as the Times thinks, some disguise their sentiments on the subject of the National Bank, we hope that journal will perceive its mistake in attributing such dissembling to us. FOR THE NEWS & GAZETTE. Public Electing. At a large and highly respectable Meet ing of the friends of the Administration in this County, held at the Court-House in Washington, on Wednesday, the 28th inst., William Stone, Esq. was called to the Chair, and James 11. Snkel, appointed Se cretary'. D. G. Cotting, Esq. briefly explained the object of the meeting, and in conclusion moved, tiiat the meeting proceed by ballot to the nomination of Candidates for Elec tion to the General Assembly, on the first Monday in October next. The votes being received and examined, it appeared that the following gentlemen were duly nominated : FOR SENATE, GEORGE W. CARTER. FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SEABORN CALLAWAY, BENJAMIN WALLACE, DENNIS PASCHAL. On motion of Mr. Joseph Moseley, it was unanimously Resolved, That the thanks of the Harrison party of this County, be ten dered to our late Senator and Representa tives, William Q. Anderson, Robert A. Toombs, Janies N. Wingfield, and John T Wootten, for their able and manly sup port of the great cardinal principles of our Government in the Legislature. The meeting then adjourned. WILLIAM STONE, Chairman. J. R. Sneed, Secretary. The Suit against Mr. Biddle. —A vigor ous i-noeavor was made by several of the Bank Directors, at a recent meeting, to have this suit withdrawn ; but only lour, as we understand, finally voted in favor of the withdrawal. It is due to all concerned that this suit take its regular course. Any in terference to accelerate or obstruct it, to load it with odium, or relieve it of responsi bility, will only embarrass or prevent the ends of justice.— Phila. N. American. Cor. of the Charleston Courier. Washington, July IQ.1 Q . ‘File Senate has a groat deal ofcxocutiv’ basin ‘before it—enough to occupy it fif teen or twenty days, without .Uteri hug to a ny thing else. The close scrutiny, which President Tyler invites into the qualifica tions and character of the nominees, will bo fully . .verted, in the Senate, in regard to some oftho nominations. The principal diplomatic nominations were s tit in last Friday, and no objection has been made to any of them that 1 have I heard of. Gov. Everett, of Mass., who is now re siding at Florence, with his family, has been nominated us Minister to England. Chas. S. Todd is nominated to Russia, and David Jenifer to Austria. Mr. Cass, it seems, is to remain at Paris. Mr. Pendleton of Va., goes to Naples, Mr. Baber, of Georgia, to Sardinia ; and Mr. Barrow, of Mississip- I pi, to Lisbon. Some demonstrations were made on Sat j urday, towards a reform, i. c. a political change, of officers in the department. The Commissioner of the land office, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, removed thirteen loco foeo clerks in his bu reau ; but the President disapproved of the measure and directed most of them to be restored. This affair it is said, will test the question whether proscription shall be tol erated or not. The Land Bill, it is stated, will bo lost in the Senate, unless one of the Penn. Senators should vote for it, under the instructions oftho Penn. Legislature. The Bank Bill, as framed by Mr. Clay, will, it is rumored, be lost by the vote of Messrs. Barrow, Merrick, Preston, Rives and Archer—and others if need he. But we shall soon see. Washington, July 20. Tho loan hill finally passed the Senate yesterday—yeas 23, nays 20. This bill authorizes the President to borrow twelve millions of dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary for the wants of the gov eminent. Mr. Calhoun spoke against the bill as unnecessary and ill timed. The tariff I must be adjusted before the deficien cy in the revenue could be ascertained. A supply in advance would encourage extrav agance, to which this administration was too prone. Experience had shown that any money put into the treasury would be spent. The tai iffof 1828 led to great extravagance, and he had endeavored since that time, to keep the Treasury under a pressure for money, as the means of of forcing economy upon the government. Mr. Clay, in an < arnest speech, pressed the passage oftho bill without unnecessary delay. He said there was a debt of ten millions ofTmasury notes created by the i late administration. That fact was incon j testiblc. I [ow was it to be paid? The ! accruing re venues was not equal to tho cur | rent expenses, lie had heard with surprise j the annunciation for the Ist time, since the ; late war, that the supplies were lobe stop | pod. He called upon the Senate and the I country to mark it. What would be the i consequence of stopping tho supplies ? | The inability of the government to meet its | engagements, and, of course, the dissolution 1 of the government. ! Mr. Woodbury pronounced what Mr i Clay called a funeral eulogy on the depart jed policy of Treasury Notes. He conten j ded that they were more economical, more j convenient, and more beneficial to the pub ] lie, than any form of public debt. In tho course of the proceedings, Mr. I Clay stated that the question whether the Bankrupt Law should be acted on at this session, would soon be taken up for consid eration. The neutrality law having expired by limitation, the President has recommended its renewal. The Bank Bill has again been taken up iu the Senate, and in a few days it is to be decided. Tho House discussed the Fortification bill yesterday, and will take it out of com mittee and pass it, at 2 o’clock to-day. It is a question whether the House will ! take up the Tariff’Bill or the Bank Bill. Washington, July 21- I There is now a prospect that the debate lon the fiscal hank bill, in the Senate, will soon he brought to a close. The amend ments of the opposition will be disposed of to-day, and the bill as amended, will be printed. The final question on the passage of tin- bill will betaken on Saturday. Mr. Smith, of Conn., occupied the floor tho grater part of yesterday, in opposition to a bank, as unconstitutional and inexpe dient. Mr. Nicholson, of Tenn., offered an a mendment asserting the right of any state to tax the property of the Bank in the same manner, and to the same extent, that they tax their own banks, but it was rejected— yeas 21, nays 27. Mr. Walker offered an amendment con fining the business of the bank to buying and selling bills of exchange, not more than six months to run. This was rejected. Mr. Walker remarked that his purpose was, in offering amendments to render the bill as harmless as possible ; for he believed we were to have a bank. There was a clear majority of five in this body that would vote fora bank, and in the other house a much larger majority. Mr. Clay was glad to liar that there was a majority five here for a bank. He had not calculated on so ma ny. In the House, a message was received from the President, recommending that the act of 10th March, 1838, (commonly called ihe neutrality act) which expired by lim itation ori the 10th March last, be revived or its provision re-enacted ; referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Fortification Bill was taken up, and after a short discussion, it was reported and finally passed, 148 to 66, in the form in which it came from the Standing Commit tee. This bill appropriates alone two millions for repairs and armament of forts. Mr. Wise gave notice tiiat he would call up the Home Squadron Bill to-morrow. Fortifications wore opposed in the debate as unnee saury, and some of them useless requiring u large tirniv to mail them —and their being easily avoided by an enemy, or perhaps taken and held by one. On the cth r baud, it was contend and that a Anri/ could not ho maintained without fortifica tions', for the docks, arsenals, navy-yards, Ac. nuts! be protected by forts. The cit ies on the coast, and the stations of our j mercantile marine must be protected, be cause iFthoy were destroyed, the materi j als and means of maintaining a Navy would I be destroyed. It is not yet decided whether a bankrupt law shall be agitated at this session. Tlte 1 louse will next take up the bill ma king appropriation for the support of a Home Squadron. Among the appropriations for fortifica are the following : For Fort Sumter, Charleston harbor, South Carolina, fifteen thousand dollars. For commencing dike to Drunken Dick shoal, to preservation of Sullivan’s island, and site of Fort Moultre, Charleston har bor, South Carolina, thirty thousand dol-‘ lars. Washington, July 23. The Senate lias taken up the Bankrupt bill for consideration, and, if it should pass that body, as is probable, it will pass the House. Mr. Berrien introduced the bill with some explanations. He said it was the same bill which was reported by Mr. Crittenden at the last session. It embraced two principles: voluntary bankruptcy in application to individuals of every discre tion ; and compulsory bankruptcy, in ap | plication to merchants, factors, trades, ban | kers, brokers, underwriters or marine in j surers,where debts amount to a sum not less | than two thousand dollars. The bill was read by .sections, for the purpose of a mendment. Mr. Nicholson will to-day, offer an a mendment including banks and other cor porations in the compulsory provision of this bill. ‘Fhe motion is not, however like ly to prevail, though some of the Whigs will assent to it, rather than lose the bill. Mr, Calhoun and others of the opposition have always been hostile to it. The Senate spent some time in Execu tive session. The House debated, the whole day, the i resolution reported from the Committee on ! Commerce, for the appointment of a Com ! inittee to collect information, during the re | cess of Congress, as to the operation of the j existing system of duties ori the various in i terests of the country, and such information | generally, as may be useful to Congress in j any revision of the revenue laws. Mr. Gilmer suggested that the informa tion was desired with a view to the revival of the protective tariff. Ho was ready to vote for a tarift’of revenue, but not of pro tection. The Revenue bill now before the House was unnecessary, if the Tariff’ was to bo revised next winter. If gentlemen would sustain him in a motion he intended to make to postpone that bill till the next session, he would vote for the resolution to make inquiries. Mr. Warren, of Ga., gave notice of his intention to offer an amendment providing that in the readjustment of the Tariff, the principles of the Compromise act should be maintained. Mr. Wise warmly opposed the resolu tion, as intended to aid in the project of re viving the old policy ofprotection. He at tacked the proposition,which he imputed to Mr. Nesbitthat the Compromise act expired in June, 1842. On the contrary, he held I that it took effect at that time. This con struction oftho act was the only basis on which southern interests could he main tained. Mr. Nesbit disclaimed the doc trine imputed to him. A part only of the provisions of the act expired in 1842. Mr. Cushing, in reply to Mr. Wise and Mr. Gilmer shewed that there was a neces sity for a revision of the Tariff lor the pur poses of revenue, and he asked whether gentlemen intended to abandon the raising of revenue by duties, and resort to direct taxation. Mr. Wise replied in tho nega tive. Mr. C. was willing to confine protec tion within the limits of a revenue barely adequate to the wants of an economical government. He was gratified to find some Southern gentlemen were willing to look at this matter in a practical point of view.— He deprecated the continued quarrelling between the Eastern North, and the Eas tern South—for he could not forget that, in a few years, a third party, —the great West would come in and settle this dispute. He entreated gentlemen from the South to compromise this question—to consent to a dopt a middle course-to be content to ap- I proximate the principles offree trade ; and j if they refused this, he was ready to throw himself into the arms of the great West— which was governed, not by dogmas and abstractions-but by the principles of com mon sense. A controversy in part ofa personal char acter, arose between Mr. Nesbit and Mr. Wise, which produced some excitement. No question was taken on the resolution. THE WESTERN BANK OF GEOR GIA . Some weeks ago, a Bill of Injunction a gainst this Bank was granted at the request of an individual claiming stock in this In stitution. The officers of the bank were legally advised to disobey the Injunction, which was accordingly done, until a hear ing could be had for its dissolution. On the 12th instant, before his Honor Judge Trippe, at chambers, a hearing was had. A motion to dissolve the bill was sustained by the Judge, upon the ground that there was no equity in the bill, and if there was, it was fully sworn off by the answer ; at the same time another party applied for an injunction, which was not granted because of failure to shew cause. The Western Bank during this legal em barrassment, continued to redeem its lia bilities promptly, and is now in the dis charge of its obligations to tho pub’is. Columbus Argus From lb • Cincinnati Gazelle, 9 ih in-.lniit. THE ENTOMBMENT. It was tho \\ fell and request of the family j and relatives of Genera! Harrison, that his I body should be entombed as privately, and j with as little ostentation as possible. In | consequence of this, many thousands of our i itizeus, who else would have followed it I to North Betid, contented ;!n nselves to re- I main awuy. Thu feelings of the nearer neighbors and acquaintances of the lute Piesidetit, however, could not be thus res j trained ; and on the arrival of the steam- J boat at the place where the remains were taken ashore, tho committee found an as. • semblage of several thousand persons, who 1 had collected from the farms for mins a round, and from the nearest towns of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, anxiously waiting the appearance of tho boat. Although the circumstance was to be regretted, it affords anew evidence of the deep and abiding hold which General Harrison had upon the af fections and respect of his immediate neigh bors. For many miles around the Bend, he had, with every man who was worthy of his regard, what may almost bo called an intimate acquaintance; and in reference to this relation between himself and his neighbors, may he truly said, that they who knew him best, loved him most. The Raritan landed about a mile above the Harrison Dwelling. Here the remains of the General was taken ashore, and the relatives and committees formed in proces sion after them. As they wound slowly and solemnly towards the tomb, many of tliosc who were assembled fell into the lino. Others more anxious to get a look at the coffin which incased the body of their late friend, look positions ahead, where it was known the funeral train would pass, and thus skirted the entire way. At the tomb a prayer was offered up by the Rev. Josh ua L. W illson, of the First Presbyterian (’Lurch of this city, and the burial services ol tho Episcopal Church read by the Rev. John T. Brooke, of Christ Church. The tomb is a simple vault, with nothing merely lor show, and none of tiie decora tions of art. Its situation is very beauti ful, with reference to either the river or the country in its rear. A few trees, of the original growth of the forest, stand around it. By another year the grass will be creeping up its sides, and the wild flowers be bending towards it. From the Ano-York llcrahl. THE MeLEOD CASE. The opmion of the Supreme Court was ! received, unofficially, in advance of the regular mail, at Washington on Tuesday, and we learn that Mr. Fox, the British Min ister, has given assurances to our Govern -1 ment, that no further steps will he taken by j him until the case goes through the Courts j of New-York in the regular wav. It is true that in certain contingencies. 1 Mr. Fox was directed by his Government i to demand his passports, but there is now j no probability that these contingencies will ; ever happen. The first .-top taken by the I British Government, and the debate in Par j Lament, consequent on McLeod's arrest, were rather forced upon them by the Tory opposition, and tlte popular impulse there, than any unfriendly disposition of the min j istry. It is not at all likely, that any fur | tlier difficulty will take place, unless per j haps, a popular ferment should break out in England, on the arrival there of the opin ion of the Court, stimulated by tlte Tory opposition to the Government in the ap proaching elections. For the present, at least,there is a perfectly good understand ing between Mr. Webster and Mr. Fox. and j the latter will demand ho passports, but j watt the issue of McLeod’s trial, which tlte j Minister thinks should take place as soon as possible, without any attempt to carry it to a higher court. Such being the amount of our informa tion, we therefore assure our readers and the public, that no war or dijjicii/ly cun lake place ivilh England at present. —that Mc- Leod will probably be tried in a few weeks, in some other county than Niagara, proba bly in Utica, whore he now is. At all events, there is nothing to disturb the peaceful relations of the two countries. FRUITS OF REFORM. We extract the fol owing letter from the Re corder, giving notice that the claims of the Geor gia Volunteers, so long and wrongfully delayed hv the last administration, are at last iu a fair way ot being paid through the exertions of our 1 present able representai ives Washington, 20th June, 1811. To the Editors of the Recorder. Gentlemen: The bili providing for the payment of flie Georgia and Florida troops employed re- i cently in the Seminole campaign, passed the 1 House to day, by a vote of 148 yeas, 66 nays. By it the sum of $19,388 are appropriated to meet arrearages due the Florida nuiitia called into ser vice iu 1840, by the Governor of that Territory, and which was a balance unprovided for by the last Congress; the sum of $297,213 to pay the troops under the command of Gen. Reid, whose term of service expired Ist. April, 1841; and the sum of $78,495, for arrearages of pay due to a battalion of Georgia militia, which ought to have been paid by the last Congress. No doubt is en tertained of the passage of the bill by the Senate. Respectfully, your ob’t serv’t. J. A. MERIWETHER.
