A PLAN OF A FISCAL BANK OF THE
UNITeo states.
Treasury Department, )
*..i , .. June 12, Ibll. (
To tite I resident of tiie Senate of tiie United
States:
Q IR obedience to the directions of the
senate, contained in their resolution of
<lh inst., the Secretary ol the Treasury lias
prepared, and herewilli submits, a plan of a
Dunk and Fiscal Agent-.
In the general plan and frame of said insti
tution, he has endeavored to free if from the
constitutional objections which have been urg
*:d againt those heretofore created by Congress,
nnd as tar as practicable, without impairing it
usefulness, to guard it in its details against ilie
abuses to which such institutions are liable.
And he now respectfully submits it to the Sen
ate with the hope that, in the process of con
sideration and enactment, it may become, what
he did not presume to promise, but which he
earnestly desires to see in the possession of
the nation, a Bank and Fiscal Agent, free from
constitutional objections, and adapted to the
wants of the country and convenience of the
Government.
It is proposed to incorporate a Bank in the
District of Columbia by the name of the Fis
cal Bank of the United States, having a capi
tal of thirty million of do'lars, with power to
establish branches or offices of discount and
deposited in the several States, with the as
sent ot the Stites : that the Government sub
scribe one fifth part of the capital; and on the
supposition that it is the purpose of Congress
Jierealter to direct th ;t the fourth instalment
appropriated by the deposite act of June 1231,
1836, shall be paid into the treasuries of the
several States, it is also proposed that a sub
scription to that amount be made in the name
of the United .States, for the use of the States
respectively ; the stock to he assigned to, and
become the properly of, such States as shall
accept the same, iri t lie manner and in the pro
portions, and subject to all the conditions, pro
vided and imposed by the act.
And for the amount of the six millions to
be subscribed by the United States on their
own account, and also for the amount to be
subscribed for the use of the several States, it
is proposed that a.stock be created, hearingan
interest of five per cent, per annum, redeem
able at the pleasure of the Government at any
time after fifteen years.
In case Congress should not see fit to make
such a provision as is proposed for paying to
the States the fourth instalment under the de
posite act, it may be well worth while to con
sider whether the States might not be permit
ted to.take the stock of the Bank according
to their respective amount of population, to
the extent, often millions in all, issuing there
for stock of t heir own, bearing such interest,
and reimbursable at such periods, as might be
prescribed; the dividends on the shares thus
field by the States, respectively, to be applied,
in the first place, to the payment of the inter
est oh their stocks ; with a further provision,
if thought necessary, that, in case the pro
ceeds of the public lands should be assigned
to the States, tiiose proceeds should be applied
to the reimbursement of the principal of their
debts, or stocks, created or issued for the pur
poses aforesaid.
In the opinion of Ihe Secretary, it is desira
ble that the States should be permitted to take
an interest in one of the foregoing inodes, or
some other mode, in the new institution; but,
if Congress should think otherwise, then it is
recommended that the Government of the
United States subscribe for ten millions of
s'oek, leaving twenty to be subscribed by in
-dividuals.
It is proposed that the affairs of the Bank
be managed by seven directors, two of them
to be appointed by the President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, and five
to ho elected by the stockholders, at their an
nua! meeting.- A prfisid nit to bo chosen by
the directors out of their own body.
That the branches be managed by no’ more
than seven, nor less than live directors, two
of them to be’ irpj.'oirrted-by the State in which
the branches may bo situated,- if such States
be a stockholder,- and tire’ rest to be appointed
by the directors of the Bank.
It is proposed that the Bank be the agent
of the Government* Tl at the public moneys
be deposited; and when there,- that they be
deemed ami taken to be in the Treasury of the
United States, and that, the deposites be not re
moved except by law, and that the notes-of the
said tank lie receivable in the payment ot
public duties, and llrat payments made by the
Treasurer of the United States may be by
checks on said Bank.
That the said IVmk receive the binds of the
United States; that it transmit them from one
part of the Union to another,-and distribute
them for the payment of public creditors, and
perform the duty of pension agent tree of
charge.
The ordinary powers and privileges of bank
ing institutions being conferred upon it, and
tlie ordinary liabilities and duties imposed in
order to prevent over banking, excessive is
sues, fluctuations in the price of stocks, and
consequent speculations therein, and to secure
the bill holders and other creditors ot the
bank from danger ol loss, it is p*. .posed—
To limit the dividends to six per cent, per
annum, but if they tall short in any year, the
deficiency, with interest thereon, to be after
ward made good—and when a surplus accum
ulates, exceeding two millions, the excess to
be passed to the credit of the Treasurer of the
United States.
That the amount of debts which it may at
any time owe, shall not exceed twenty mil
lions over ami above its dejxwit'"*. i’hat the
debts at any time due to the i , shall not
exceed the amount ot its capital and seventy
five per cent thereon. aiul that when the
amount of.its hills in circulation shall exceed
throe times the amount oi specie in its vaults,
no new loan shall be made.
That it shall not deal in any tiling- except
coin, bullion, promissory notes, and inland bills
of exchange.
That it shall take no more than six per cent,
upon loans,
That it shall discount no promisory note,
and purchase no bill of exchange which has
more than one hundred andeigh y days to run,
or make any loan for a longer time.
That no debt shall be renewed.
That it shall not at any time loan the Uai'ed
States more than three millions oi dollars,
nor any State more than §IOO,OOO, nor either
for a longer time than one hundred days, un
less authorized by law.
That it shall contract no debt for a longer ;
time than one year.
That it shall issue no note of a less denom- 1
ination than ten dollars.
That the officers of the institution shall no‘
be permitted to borrow money from, or con
tract any debt therein, iu any manner y\ liatev -
er; a note or bill of which such officer, as
maker, drawer, enderser, or acceptor, is for
bidden to be discounted. The directors oi
the branches not to be considered officers
within the meaning of this provision.
To prevent or expose any iraiul or indirec
tion in the management oi the institution . to
prevent, also, large and improper loans to in
ti.viduals, to the injury of the stockholders ami
t lie public, and to prevent likewise, talse impu
tations when such irregularities do not exist,
it is proposed that the boaks of the institution,
including the accounts of all individuals there

j-iocre: try of i n Treasury of the U. States;
to a coni u■ e >f either llouse of Congress ;

MEETING OF MERCHANTS.
At a meeting of the Merchants and other
citizens of Apalachicola, convened at the
Council Chamber, on Tuesday evening, 8-h
June, 1811, the Mayor, Benjamin Ellison,
Esq., was called to the Chair, and David C.
Raney appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been ex
plained by the Chairman, William G. Porter,
Esq., offered the following Preamble and Res
olution-, which having been seconded, were
j adopted unanimously:
Such have been the evils which the Mer-
I chants of this place have suffered, in common
| with the people residing on the Chattahoochee
i river, from the suspension of specie payments
1 by the Columbus and other (reorgia Banks,
! that it becomes absolutely necessary, for the
| protection and preservation of their interests,
that some definite action should be taken by
them, to protect themselves hereafter from the
evils of an irredeemable and constantly depre
ciating currency. A sound currency is the basis
ol all mercantile transactions, and is absolute
ly essential, not only to the prosperity of the
merchant, but to his preservation from bank
ruptcy. The evils of an irredeemable and
constantly depreciating standard of value are
so obvious as to require no illustration.—
Their effects the past season have been mani
fest to all. We have seen the notes of the Co
lumbus Banks, which form our entire currency
depreciate 15 or 20 per cent in less than sixty
days. It is evident that the merchant, let his
capacity, industry and capital be what they
may, cannot long continue business under
such a system without ruin : the nature of ev
ery contract is changed, and his whole proper
ty and business at the mercy of bankrupt and
irresponsible corporations. In order to obvi
ate as far as in our power these great and
manifold evils,
Be it Resolved, That from and after the Ist
day of October next, our whole transactions
shall be placed on a specie basis—the profits
on goods and commissions be regulated accor
dingly, and that the notes of the suspended
banks, when received, will only be taken at
their s]>ecie value.
Resolved, That we recommend the mer
chants and planters on this rive-- to call meet
ings and adopt similar resolutions, in order
that there may be a concert of action through
out this section, to relieve the industry and
trade of the country from a system which
leaves them entirely at the mercy of the sus
pended banks.
Be it further Resolved, That this pream
ble and these resolutions be published in the
“ Florida Journal,” and that copies of them be
printed for the Merchants to forward to their
correspondents.
Nathan Baker, Esq., offered the following
resolution, which was adopted:
For the purposes of carrying the foregoing
resolutions more fully into effect, be it there
fore.
Resolved, That all persons wishing to com
ply with the same, shall subscribe their names
thereto.

GOOD NEWS FROM FLORIDA.
We are gratified to learn that the arch vil
lian Wild that, together with fifteen warriors,
have been seized by order of Col. Worth, com
manding in Florida, and are now safely on their
way to the W est.
The next advices we receive from the seat
of war we trust will give us the intelligence
of the capture of llalieek Tustenuggee, as
parties were out in all directions at last ac
counts in search of the faithless chief.
Col. Worth has made a good beginning since
taking command in Florida, and we only re
gret That the season is not more favorable for
an active campaign.
The subjoined letter from our attentive cor
respoudent at St. Augustine, was received last
evening by the arrival ot the steamer Clias.
Downing, Capt. Dent. It will be read with
interest.
We also received the News and Herald,- of
Friday last. They contain no Indian news.

WILD CAT TAKEN!
The steamer Win Gaston, Capt. Griffin, ar- 1
rived this morning from Fort Fierce, with Col.
G ates, Capt. Wade, Lieut. Brown, and a com
p. Liv of Artillery who had gone downa few day**
since with the view of taking Wild Cat. Or
ders had already been despatched to Maj.
Childs for that purpose, but an increase o!
force was deemed necessary, as the party of
Indians were supposed to be large. Wild Cat
had extended an invitation to the garrison at
Fort Fierce to visit his encampment and wit
ness a dance, and on the evening of the .‘3d,
again came into Fort Fierce, with 15 warriors,
3 negroes and self, for supplies of whiskey.
As usual his manner was overbearing, and re
iving on his passport, he little imagined that
its use had been countermanded. Maj. Childs
promptly seized all of his party, including 11
poneys.
Wild Cat's encampment proper, was distant
35 miles on the Okerchobee swamp, to this
Major Childs repaired, but being discovered,
5 Indians who were there escaped. Wild
Cat and his party were shipped on tlie Ttli on
board of schr, Walter M., tor New Orleans,
Lt. Judd in command of the guard. This
measure has created general satisfaction—a
dangerous fellow is removed, fully acquainted
with all of the localities of the country, and
the leader of all the murderous forays which
have taken place in this neighborhood. Col.
Gates, Capt. Wade, Lt. Brown and command,
are deserving of high praise, in their endeavor
to stop the lawless career of the vagabond, as
well as Major Childs and his commander for
their successful accompiislunent of orders.
From the St- Augustine News.
A change of measures, as we had anticipa
ted and hoped, have already commenced un
der Col. Worth, commanding in Florida. They
embrace an entire abolishment of safeguards
and passes to the enemy—those licences to
murder and plunder, under the delusive hope
of winning the Indian to terms. Establishing
again a regular system of scouting; stopping
all unnecessarv expenditures, &C, which has
been so*prodigally indulged in, the building cf
quarters, or the establishment of posts merely
to be abandoned and destroyed by the enemy.
Commanders of Districts to act on their dis
cretion iu relation to defence and pursuit, and
requires a zealous co-operation’throughout to
accomplish what is so desirable an event, a
clofce of war. The Commanding Officer is
not only determined to deserve success, but
his character and conduct must command it.
Col. Worth has temporarily established his
Head Quarters at Fort King.

within the last, being the first week of its
June sitting.
Spencer vs Dure et al. —From the Chance
ry Court sitting in Talladega. Ormond, J.
delivered the opinion of the court, deciding
1. A vendee ot land in possession may have
relief in chancery when the vendor has made
a fraudulent representation as to the title.
2. But the assertion of the vendor that his
title was good, is not fraudulent, unless he
knew that a better title existed in another. j
3. The facts as to which a discovery is
sought, and the action of the court demanded,
must be stated with reasonable certainty and
precision, and the allegations be direct and
positive, and not uncertain and inconclusive
before the defendant can be called on to an
swer them.
The decree of the chancellor affirmed with
costs.
M. Carter et al vs Simeon Douglass.—Error
to the Circuit Court of Talladega. Ormond,
J. delivered the opinion of the court, deciding
1. Tiie Circuit Court cannot entertain a
motion to quash a warrant and execution, al
though the case has been removed by certiora
ri. Jt must be tried de novo without regard
to the defects in the proceedings of tiie jus
tice.
2. The refusal of the Circuit Court to
award a certiorari where a diminution of the
record is suggested, will not be reviewed in
error.
3. General reputation cannot be given in
evidence to establish the existence of a co
partnership between individuals.
J udgment of the court below reversed, and
case remanded.
Scott vs Macey et al.—Error to the county
court of Sumter county. The opinion of the
court was delivered by Ormond, J. deciding
1. Where an attachment is sued out as aux
iliary to a suit commenced in the ordinary
mode, a mistake in the writ of attachment of
the time when the court is held in which the
original suit is pending, is amendable.
2. An attachment will not be quashed on
account of a defective bond, unless the plain
tiff is unwilling to execute a good bond.

cause remanded for further proceedings.
James Johnstone et al. vs Alex Glasscock et
al.—Motion for mandamus against, the Chan
cellor of the Northern Division, for not pro
ceeding with the cause according to a decree
of this court rendered at the last term. Or
mond, J. delivered the opinion of the court,
deciding
1. If a Chancellor refuses to proceed ac
cording to the mandate of the Supreme Court
in a cause in which his decree has been re
versed, and the proper decree rendered by the
Supreme Court, the proper mode to arrive at
the justice of the case istorequre him to pro
ceed by writ of mandamus.
2. A peremptory writ will not however be
issued in the first instance on petition, but on
ly a rule on the Chancellor to show cause why
the writ should not issue.
3. Where the direction contained in a man
date of this court is precise and unambiguous*
it is the duty of the subordinate court to carry
it into execution, and it ought not to decline
obedience upon a supposition that the court
has inadvertently, or otherwise committed an
error.
Jacob Sims vs Thomas Campbell, Ex’r. of
Geo. Johnson.—Writ of error to the Court of
Chancery of the third District of the Southern
Division. Ormond, J. delivered the opinion of
court, deciding
1. The distinction between a pledge and a
mortgage of personal estate, is, that in the for
merthe title is retained by the pledgor, but in
the latter, it passes to the mortgagee, subject
to be divested, if the condition of tiie mortgage
is performed.
2. It is yet an open question in this State,
whether tire mortgagor, after a default in the
condition of the mortgage, can divest the legal
title of the mortgage then in actual posses
sion, so as to enable the former to maintain tro
ver or detinue against the latter.
3. But if it is admitted that trover or deti
nue, under such circumstances, will be, chan
cery, notwithstanding, has jurisdiction of a bill
filed by the mortgagor to redeem a mortgaged
slave.
4. In defence of a bill to redeem, it is not
necessary for the defendant to plead or insist
on the statute of limitation, if the complain
ant in his bill, or by evidence in support of it,
shows that-lie has no subsisting title.
5. When slaves have been passed under a
claim of title fora period analogous to the sta
tute of limitations, the possession operates not
only as a bar, but also invests the possessor
with the absolute property.
0. The action ol detinue is the only one at
law analogous to a bill to redeem a specific
chattel, and so far as the statute of limitations
can have any bearing on such a bill, it is to be
considered precisely as it it was an action of
detinue at law.
7. The act of 1800 (Digest 152 §2) which
provides that no action shall be commenced
against an executor or administrator in such
capacity, until after the expiration of six months
from the grant of administration, has no appli
cation to the action of detinue, as such an ac
tion cannot be instituted against an executor
or administrator in his representative capacity.
8. lt is questionable whether the act of 1806
(Digest 152 j 2) was intended to apply to any
suit m equity. But courts of equity are gov
erned by its analogies in the same manner,
as by sta> utes of limitations.
9. A shows the mortgage of a slave the
26th June, 1829, to secure a sum of money to
be paid in two months. The mortgagee took
forcible possession of the slave in October of
the same year, and held it under claim of title
until Ins death, when it passed to his executor,
and they together held it lb more than six.
years to suit commenced. Held that the
claim of the mortgagor was extinguished by
lapse of time, and that the title of the mort
o-ao-ee had become indefeasible. •
10. When possession of the mortgaged
slave is retained by the mortgagor until the
default in the condition, the statute does not
commence running until the mortgagee lias
actual possession or the slave.
Decree of the Chancellor affirmed.
From the New York Courier and Enquirer.
“ Opposed as we ever have been to the call
of an extra session, we still think it may re
sult favorably to ti e country, if those in pow
er are true to their principles, to their friends,
and to the wishes of their constituents. We
have always supposed that the true policy of
die whig party, was to wait patiently the ordi
nary period for the assembling of Congress;
and the manifest heart-burning already appa
rent in our ranks, afford conclusive evidence
of the correctness of our opinion. It can no
longer be concealed from ourselves or the
country, that there is not that harmony in the
whig party so absolutely necessary for success
which would have existed had the great meas
ures of the party been considered more, and
the interests of particular individuals far
less.
We are well aware, that it is almost treason
able to write about, the differences which are
known to exist among us ; but as we belong
to no clique, and are committed to no man or
set of men, and are unalterably determined
to advocate certain principles, and all who will
not strive for their success, we shall, as usu
al, speak freelv of all things relating to the
partv,- in the belief that until the disease is
! fully understood by the physician, all desrrip-
I tions for a cure are worse than useless. In
i the present case, the leaders of the whig par
| tv are tb e patient* and the only capable physi
• cum is the people.
It was supposed tha. the election of Gen.
Harrison had rendered he path of duty plain,
and the success of ail the great measures of
the party morally certain. And such in fact
was the case, until certain leaders or their
friends, apparently forjot that the power con
ferred upon them was a sacred trust to be ex
ercised in behalf, an! for the benefit of the
people instead of the advancement of purely sel
fish views, or the gratification of personalfriend
ships and the payment of mere personal obli
gations. Mr. Clay’s conceded dissatisfaction
with the Cabinet at Washington, the recent
success of the loco loco party in the Legis
lature of this State, the defeat of Gov. Se
ward’s administration on the school question,
the remarks of the Sate paper upon the Dis
trict Attorney of the United States for the
Northern District qf N. York, the charge
made by the American that Gov. Seward’s ad
ministration is arrayed against the General
Government, the quarrel between the Star,
Express, American and Commercial, in rela
tion to Mr. Webster, the charge every where
made that the dinner to Mr. Tallmadge, was
got up with the view of driving Mr. Webster
from the Cabinet, &c. &c., all go to show that
there is want of harmony and concert in action
in the whig party which docs not argue well
lor its success.
That this state is arrayed against the Gen
eral Administration is incorrect; though we
doubt not buttlie administration at Albany feel
and keenly too, that they have been treated with
studied neglect, if not contempt, by the adminis
tration at Washington , They leel, that but
for the course of the Empire State, Harrison
and Tyler would not have been nominated for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency at Harris
burg : and they are not prepared to forget that
the great whig party of a state which recorded
forty-two electorial votes in favor of the whig
cause, is entitled to respectful consideration
by those whom they have placed in power.
It is said there is no bond of union in the
whig parly; that unlike our opponents, those
who have the power, are not true to the friends
and that good faith among our leaders is a qual
ity of rare occurrence. We are perfectly
willing to admit that these charges are in part
true; we are willing to admit, that selfishness
and mail-worship, and an absence of good faith
are tiie too common vices of ambitious politi
cians aud political leaders ; but it is only after
the success of a party that these qualities
can be developed in their leaders, and when
once developed, they of course forever destroy
the political prospects of those who thus dis
grace themselves and dishonor the party which
has elevated them to power and place.
That we have no common bond of union, is
true as regards our leaders and selfish cliques
of politicians ; but not true as it relates to our
party. The people have a bond of union, in
dissoluble as adamant; and woe be unto him
who endeavors to sunder it. The restcration
of the currency and the credit of the states ;
a national Bank, the distribution of the pro
ceeds of the public domain, and a General
Bankrupt law, are all measures which the
People willed by the election of William Hen
ry Harrison and John Tyler. The success of
these measures is their bond of union; and
these measures they will require at the hands
of their Representatives, in spite of the in
trigues and bickerings of those who imagine
that their elevation and their welfare are dear
er to the people than the triumph of the prin
ciples for which we have been contending.
From ihe New York Times & Evening Star.
We annex extracts from two letters, we
have received from distinguished Whigs at
Washington. The prospect of union and
concert in action is gloomy enough ; but it is
not our intention to conceal any thing from
our readers on the actual state of affairs.—
There can be no mistake, no doubt, no eva
sion of the great objects of reform, for which
the people, with an immense majority, have
recently changed their ruler*. It was to re
peal the odious sub-treasury—to divorce the
sword and the purse—to regulate the cur
rency—to establish a national bank—to adopt
measures in relation to the public lands—and
to pass a bankrupt law. We are defeated,
broken down aud dispersed, if these meas
ures are not adopted. The people will never
again (rust the Whig party, and it is better
that we should know it at this time, than to
put off the evil day. The true mode of ma
king the extra session available to the coun
try is, for the Whigs of both Houses to revive
the sale and most desirable caucus system.
Let a committee be appointed to call the
Whigs together in the great Hall of Congress,
every night, if necessary, and in caucus deter
mine what measures should be adopted, and
can be adopted. Let every tiling be settled in
that caucus—understand and be understood,
let every man’s position be defined—let all
the excitement, all the angry feelings be
manifested there, and when the will of the
majority is fairly ascertained, let every Whig
go into the House, and honestly sustain by
his votes, what he has agreed to do in caucus.
Every Whig who desires to keep the party
united, and save the country, will see that
this is the only mode to ensure union, concert
in action, and success. We are groping in
the dark, feeling our way, aud stumbling over
each others opinions and prejudices.
Washington, June 9, 1841.
The public prints have kept you informed .
of every fact known to us that could lead to
the formation of a conjecture of the tuture. 1 j
say conjecture, fur really such is the state oi J
feeling, both in the Senate and in the House, j
that nothing like a judgment can by any pos-;
sibility be reached. j
Mr. Clay, as you know, offered an amend
meat to the bill reported by the committee o.
nine, for the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, his ;
object being to repeal, by said amendment,
the State Bank deposit system, and leave the
public monies, under the law of ‘B9,’ in the
keeping of the Treasurer. His motive for
this was, beyond all doubt, a belief that the
State (K4 1 sit system could never be re-enac
ted, and thus the greater necessity for a substi
tute, which he hoped would be a Bank of the i
United States. This brought out Mr. Rives,;
Mr. Berrien and Mr. Freston, all ot whom .
would not consent, upon the ground ot princi
pie, that the public treasure (to use their own j
language) should ‘for one moment’ be at the
disposition of the Executive, through an offi
cer of his own appointment, kou will see
how this resulted—namely, that until a sub
stitute is passed, the deposit system must be
the law of the land. The ertect of this is, in :
my opinion, very bad, lor its provisions can- j
not be carried out by Mr. Ewing, and if the j
locos and the impracticables should prevent
any fiscal agent from being adopted, e\en Mr.
Clay hinted they should then be obliged to
revert to the State system, with nesv modifica
tions.
What the Secretary of the Treasury will
recommend, it is impossible to foresee. T. he j
President is, in my opinion, opposed to a bank :
of discount and deposit, and would probably
veto one. upon the ground of unconstitution-j
alitv. Wise, I think, will take this ground j
in the House, where the most at-gry feeling
has been gotten up in relation to the 21st
(anti-abolition) rule, which of course was
stricken out. Ingersoll voted in the majority j
to move a re-consideration, and there will be, j
I fear, a very heated debate this morning . the
locos intending to irritate the Southern whigs
against their Northern brethren, and embar
rass legislation by every technical device. —
In the vote for sergeant-at-arms, Wise and I
many other whigs finally voted for the loco
candidate, so that Townsend, the regular wnig
candidate, was not elected till the 7th ballot,
and then only bv 3 majority.
I think I can’see that all actual legislation
will be staved off till the members are worn
out with the excessive heat of the climate, it
not by sickness-one member being ill already;
and then the measures, whatever they may
be, will be hurried through satisfactorily to
no one. This at least, I think there is great
cause to fear.
I think Mr. Webster would not be much
displeased if no bank or other fiscal agent
should be established, for then the Bank of
Commerce could be employed and the country
placed completely under a monied aristocracy,
which, in i y opinion, is the very worst of *all
possible evils. The locos are undoubtedly
cozening around the President, trying to work
upon his honest Virginia prejudices. I have
great confidence in him,- and do not believe
they*will succeed in any actual scheme to
destroy the Whig party ; but can we call that
which now exists the Whig party ?—-while
there are so many jealousies and such divis
ion of sentiment upon the very measures for
which the special session was called. 1 must
confess, while I am not without hopes we
may get through this called session without a
death blow to reform, still, when I look at all
things around me in such a state of perfect
political chaos, l have strong fears* such in
deed as I cannot resist.
Washington 1 , June 8, 1841.
The forebodings of the disunion of the whig
party, in which many of its best friends, as
well as its enemies, have indulged, are brought
nearer to an apparent realization by the devel
opements of every day. Nothing, however,
has more painfully impressed my mind with
the impossibility of binding together for any
great length of time a party composed of such
discordant materials, as the debate in the Seri
ate of yesterday.
The report in the Globe of the debate I re
fer to is in no essential particular inc.orrett,
except of course, in its disparaging allusions
to Mr. Clay. The truth is, he stood alone,
and stands alone, the only bold, unchanged ad
vocate for a bank—Mangum alone supporting
him; and the others from wliom better things
were to be expected, are found wavering, tim
id, fickle, vacillating, and uncertain.
In the House, too, with a whig majority of
nearly fifty, and a full southern delegation, Mr.
Adams succeeded in preventing the passage
of the 21st rule of the House which excluded
the reception of Abolition petitions.
The feeling of dissatisfaction and discon
tent among the party is daily increasing and
developing itself. The session of Congress
promises to be a noisy, troublesome, and un
satisfactory one.
I presume that the New York city nomina
tions will not be sent in to the Senate until
the Sub-Treasury is repealed and the commit
tee on the “fiscal agency” has reported.
Os one thing I have great fears —the whig
party will separate and be at daggers drawn,
before the close of the present session of Con
gress. lam oecoming more and more disgus
ted witli its want of union and of disinterested
views.

SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS REWARD.
FTJYHE subscriber, residing in Columbus, Georgia,-
JL lost about a month since, a valuable negro man,
for the appri hension of whom in any secure jail so’
that he can get Inin, lie will give twenty-five dollars ;■
and ti the said negro man has been decoyed away by
any white person, or been furnished with free papers,-
(ne.ither of which is improbable) he will give, in addi-’
lion, fifty dollars, if sufficient evidence of that fact, bo
communicated to him to ensure the conviction Os the
guilty person.
Said negro is about 28 years of age, of small stature,-
and named Elije. He is believed to have never shav
ed, arid bis appearance, in consequence, is somqyhat’
singular, the hair being long on his upper lip. Whefrf’
spoken to, he almost invariably puts his finger to tho
side of his head, and scratches his hair, and his s'pdtch
is accompanied by a slight hesitancy. He has th•
marks ol a gun shot, just above the knee, in the right
thigh, it is thought; the hone was fractured, and tho
wound is still visible. The negro, when ltd said any
thing about running away, which he occasional-’
ly did, mentioned Tennessee as the diredtkifi of his
flight'. SAMUEL BOYKIN.
