1. An instrument of writing, made 24th j
November 183(5, by which the defendant uu- j
dertakes to make titles to a tract of land at a ■
certain day, and, : n case he fail to do so, to pay
n certain sum of money, is not a sealed instru

is m reality in the nature of a penalty.

deciding
1. A declaration describing a promisory note
as bearing date in November 183(5, and pay
able oil li£ day of March eighteen hundred and
twenty-nine , meaning thirty-nine, must, be con
sidered as containing a sufficient cause of ac

2. The defendant omitting to plead to such
a declaration, thereby admits the cause of ac

1. A justice of the peace has the power to
supply the loss of any paper relating to a cause
pending before him.
2. A complaint in a suit for a forible entry,
is not insufficient because it seeks to recover
messuage with thenppurtenances known as the

will not be presumed to be in the Bank, unless

CONGKESts—THE SENATE.
The scene, the particulars of which are
given below from the Reports of the New
York Herald, occurred on the sth of August.
Mr. Beriton had presented a remonstrance of
certain citizens of Virginia against the estab
lishment of a National Bank, accompanied
with the avowal of the belief of the signers
in the doctrine of Repeal. A motion was
made to print the remonstrance, which motion
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, moved to lay on the
table. The question then arose did the adop
tion of the motion to lay the motion to print
on the table, lay on the table likewise the pa
per proposed to be printed. This question or
iginated the discussion below'. Mr. Southard,
President of the Senate, decided that laying
the motion to print on the table, carried with
it the paper. This extraordinary decision was
on the succeeding day reversed by the Sen
ate—nine Senators only voting to sustain the
decision.
Mr. Clay of Alabama. I hope the gentleman
will withdraw it.
Mr. Clay of Kentucky. I will not with
draw it.
Mr. Denton. If it is laid upon the table, I
will move immediately to take it up.
Mr. Clay. If you can get a majority, you
may.
Mr. Benton. I call for the yeas and nays
on laying the motion upon the table.
The yeas and nays were ordered, and, the
question being taken, the motion to print was
laid upon the table—yeas 21, nays 20.
Mr. Benton. I now move to take it up, and
v ill move to take up the proposition every
morning until the close of the session.
Mr. Clay. I call the Senator to order.
Mr. Benton. Take down the words.
Mr, Clay, of Kentucky. I will not take
them down. The Senator has no right to dis
cuss the question.
Mr. Benton —Mr. Secretary, I call on you
to send me the paper. J look upon this ex
traordinary proceeding as most portentious,
and—
Mr. Clay—l insist on my question of order,
and that the Senator take his seat.
Mr. Benton— l ake down the word?—take
down the words.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky—l must insist that
on a motion to take off or lay on the table, the
subject is not open to discussion.
Mr. I,inn —1 would like to know the nature
of the subject. 1 understand that the ques
tion of printing was laid on the table, and not
th* paper itself; I put the question to the
chair, whether if a motion to print he laid on
the table, it carries the paper with it?
The Cl*ir —It does.
Mr. Calhoun—The question on the paper
has not vet been disposed of, and I hold that
the Senator from Missouri has aright to speak
upon it.
Mr. Walker—the motion to print being laid
upon the table, does not carry with it the pa.
per also. I recollect J hat when an abolition
petition was presented, and a motion to print
it was laid upon the table, the chair did not
decide tha/ the petition was carried with it.
The President—The paper has been re
ceived.
Mr. Benton. T made a motion that the pa
per !;e received and read, and a motion that it
be printed.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky. The Senator from
Missouri moved io take up the subject which
had been laid upon the table. If this motion
is now another motion, and relates to another
matter, it is a different thing.
Mr. Calhoun. It is clear that the paper is
still before the Senate. The motion to print
being laid upon the table, did not carry
with it the paper.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky. I hope my ques
tion will be understood. I made a question of
order. We have ordered the paper to be laid
upon the table, and the Senator from Missouri
moves to take it up.
Mr. Calhoun. The question is not disposed
of.
Mr. Cuthbert. The paper is still before us.
Shall discussion be stifled ! I hope not Ido
not believe that because the motion to print
was laid upon the table, the paper was carried
with it.
Mr. Benton. Sir. President
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky. I call the Senator
to order, and tell him to take h;s seat.
Mr. Benton. 1 won’t take my seat until the
chair gives his decision.
The President if the chair is in error, let
the Senate decide. The motion to print being
laid upon the tabic, carried with it the paper
aiso.
Mr. Phelps. Is it proper to discuss the
matter aft r the chair has given his opinion,
and as no Senator has appealed from the de
cision of the chair ?
Mr. Benton. Well, l appeal from the deci
sion of the chair.
Mr. Tap-pan. The Senator from Kentucky
says it is not in order to debate a matter which
is laid upon tiie tabie. Now, 1 would ask him
where he finds the parliamentary rule which
prohibits it?
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky—l consider; sir, that
our time is precious, and I rise to move to lay
the appeal on the table to get rid ot it.
Mr. Benton—The yeas and nays.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky—Agreed. Let’s
have ’em.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. Buchanan—l the nature of the
question. l)o I understand that, if a paper is
presented, and a motion made to print it be
laid upon the table, that the paper is likewise
laid on the table !
The President—Yes, sir.
Mr. Calhoun—lt is a parliamentary rule
that vou can never lay a privileged question
on the table; and sir, I will refer you—
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky—Mr. President, is
that debateable 1
Mr. Calhoun —It is debateable.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky —l think it out of
order, and will not take the Senator’s deci
sion.
Mr. Calhoun —The Senator’s point is out of
order.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky —I say it is in or
der.
Mr. Calhoun—l have a right to speak.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky—l call upon the
chair to say whether it is in order or not.
Mr. Cuthbert —The Senator from Kentuc
ky, bv his passionate language, is violating the
decorum of the Senate, and is therefore him
self out of order.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky—l challenge a com
parison with that Senator.
Mr. Cuthbert I hope the chair will pre
serve order, and prevent this violent ebullition
of passion.

PROGRESS OF “RELIEF.”
fiince our last, the House of Represents-1
lives have passed an act to consummate the
relief oj the people by taxing them 20 per cent
on all the tea, coffee, sngar, salt, and various
other articles which they purchase for their
families.
It is an act to make five pounds of tea cost
as much as six now cost.
It is an act to make five pounds of coffee
cost as much as six now cost.
In effect, it takes for the use of Government
every sixth pound of tea and coffee the farmer
j and mechanic buys !
I How would the farmer or mechanic like to
! meet at the store door as he comes out a tax
gatherer who should take Irom him ONE
,-sIXTH of ail he had bought for his family,
telling him it was necessary to enable the
whigs to accomplish the “retrenchment and
reform” they promised before the election?
This bill does worse than that! It makes
the merchants pay the duty in the first in
stance. To him the duty is part f the cost,
and he must have a profit upon that as well as
upon the amount originally paid. .Suppose
the merchant’s profit to be 20 per cent then,
on every dollar the fanner pays under this bill
to his Government, he pays also 20 cents to
the merchants.
While it makes the farmer, the mechanic,
and all others pay 20 per cent more than the
fair cost on all they buy, it permits the rich
manufacturers to bring in the articles they
use in their manufactories free of duty i And
while it permits the railroad companies tobring
in their iron free of dutv, it makes the farmer
pay a heavy tax on every plough-share, scythe,
hoe, axe, horse shoe and nail that fastens it on.
We shall trace the effects of “this bill in its
various ramifications, until our honest readers
shall see a WHIG TARIFF in every cup of
tea and coffee they drink, and lurking around
every bit of iron they use about their houses,
their shops and their farms.
From the Globe, July hist.
The tariff bill came up for a third reading.
Mr. Proffit of Indiana, said he was opposed
to passing this bill with hot and indecent haste,
taxing as it would the people of the United
States to the amount of eight millions of dol
lars per annum. He desired that the yeas
and nays might be had upon every important
amendment in the House. He opposed the
gag law passed by the House. He instanced
the article of raw hides as having been voted
down without consideration.
Mr. .Stanley answered Mr. Proffit, and
moved the previous question, and refused to
withdraw it.
The question was then taken upon the pas
sage of the bill, and there were yeas 111),
nays 101.
‘i he main question was now about to be put,
when Mr. Proffit asked to be excused from vo
ting, and gave his reasons. He said the bill
had been pressed through the House in an in
decent manner, and a want of delicacy of
taste.
Mr. Proffit now withdrew his motion to be
excused.
The question was then put, and there were
—ayes 99, nocs 115.
So the reconsideration was refused, and the
bill was passed.
Mr. Wise upon the reading of the title,
rose to amend it, by striking out and inser
ting “A bill to violate the compromise act of
the” 3d of March 1833-” lie said the bill
should fit the caption. He said the House
had unminded itself, and put itself under the
dominion of Shrewsbury clock. He said the
bill taxed the cotton bagging of Kentucky
twenty per cent, and if cotton could stand this,
yellow corn could. The rule was a rule to
cover up the irresponsibility of the adminis
tration. He said the bill would injure the
commercial interest, and would be repealed in
less than twelve months.
Mr, Fillmore and Mr. Barnard called Mr
W ise to order for debating the subject and
not the title of the bill.
Mr. Wise said he knew what be was about,
lie was showing hi w the bill violated the
compromise act, and why it should have a
proper title. He said it was time this humbug
of titles was exploded. A deposite bill dis
distributed the amount of twenty-eight mil
lions among the people in 1837. He said
this bill if passed, would bring a protective
tariff upon the country. He said there were
some men in the House that lie would not
lead, for they would drag so heavy that they
would keep a giant back. Ile compared Mr.
Stanly to a Pope at the Vatican, fulminating
his paper bulls of excommunication, and was
glad that he iiad found some charity for him, —
He now withdrew his amendment,
Mr. Bidlack of Pennsylvania sent to the
chair an amendment to the title of the bill:
“And lay a tax on the producing classes
to make up the contemplated deficiency in the
Treasury, arising from the contemplated dis
tribution of the proceeds of the public domain
tor the benefit of stockjobbers, loan holders
and speculators.”
Mr. Triplett of Kentucky said that it was
not in order to insult the Whig party by such
a title.
The chair said there was no insult, in his
opinion, in the amendment.
* Mr. Bidlack said he had drawn the amend
ment hastily, and should be very sorry if any
gentleman supposed he wished to impugn
their motives. It was not in his nature to ar
raign the motives of others. It was a mere
difference of opinion as to the proper name
for the bill. Sir, (said Mr. B.) lam one ot
tiiose who think things should be called by
theii right names ; and he believed the title
which he had proposed for the bill, was the
bill, was the best description that could be giv
en to it. For himself, he most firmly believed
whatever gentleman might think, tiie opera
tion of the bill would be to tax tea and coffee
anu other necessaries of life, consumed alike
by all classes while it exempted Irom tax
railroad iron, and other articles for the bene
fit of corporations.
lie went on to show that the tax upon tea
and coffee of mure than two and a half mil
lions of dollars, we intend to supply that a
inount subtracted annually by the contempla
ted distribution of the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands. Mr. B. was desirous for
an early and final adjournment, and, had,
therefore, forborne from consuming tune in
the previous discussion ; but he was anxious
that this most unjust proposition should be
brought upon its face in connection with the
bill which had rendered it necessary, and that
it should go forth to the world with its proper
name upon its front. He knew the majority
wonld be opposed to it, and would vote it
down, and having briefly expressed his opinion
of tiie bill, he would withdraw the amend
ment, rather than consume time m the vote
or discussion upon it.
But the Chair not hearing him, Mr. Burnell
of Massachusetts made a speech to show that
he voted for the bill to save the great Whig
party from splitting to pieces, lie hated to
vote* against tea, and coffee, but he could not
embrace molasses, sugar, and salt, that had
been hitched to it in tiie House.
Mr. Bidlack rose to explain, but Mr. Bur
nell refused him the opportunity.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist.
The Georgia Delegation voted for the
Tariff, with one exception. —People of
Georgia look at this! you will see by the fol
lowing extracts, that a northern man—a cor
respondent of a northern newspaper, himself
a whig (apparently) in his politics, deems the
fact worthy of notice, that the GEORGIA
DELEGATION in the Congress of the U.
S. voted for the TARIFF BILL, when the
MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATION di
vided on the question. Tiie writer is slightly
mistaken, Mr. Alford alone voted against the
Bill. All the others of our representation
voted for it. Alas! what is to become of
southern rights, of state rights, and southern
Interests, K the great whig party V that party
‘m which northern influences thus predomin
ate, can so mislead the sons of Georgia and
juggle them by party trickery into such a
committal of their constituents’ interests?—
; Who does not see in this sign, in the cloud
!“ no bigger than a man’s hand, which shall
j yet break in thunder over the devoted south ?

hearts! ° A QUIET MAN
■ To the Editors of the Fhi’a. Saturday Courier:
Washisoto.v, August 2, IB4t.
Dear sirs :—The third month of the session
has commenced, and still the end seems afar
off Some pretend to say that the House will
adjourn on the 9.h of August: but Ido not
believe it.. An ocean of words have yet to be
poured out upon the Bank and Bankrupt Bill
in the House, and upon the distribution and
Tariff bill, in the Senate.
The Tariff bill, after a week’s discussion,
was cn Friday ordered to be engrossed.
The Massachusetts delegation divided upon
the question, but the Georgia delegates went
in a body for the bill. Many seem to consi
der it as an act of hasty legislation, and Mr.
Proffit, of Indiana, made no bones of expres
sing this opinion on the subject.
The bill taxes Tea, Coffee* Molasses* Su
gar, and Salt to the tune of 20 per cent., and
allows a drawback on rail road iron. It also
puts a lighter duty on Gold Watches, Jewel
ry, Gems, and Precious Stones. It is like a
wizard’s sword, and and cuts both ways.
******
On Saturday, the bill was passed by 15 ma
jority ; 116 yeas and 101 nays.
Tffe opponents of the bill now endeavored
to change its title. Mr. Wise mo.ed to call
it —“A bill to violate the compromise act, of
March 2, 1833,” instead of “A bill to regu
late duties and drawbacks.” Mr. Bidlaek, of
Pa., moved to make—* A bill to tax the people
to pay for the amount distributed to the mon
ey lenders, stock-jobbers and speculators.—
Both gentlemen, after having made their
speeches, withdrew their amendments—the
title was then adopted.
From the N. Y. Herald, August 7.
The Five Measures in Congress. —The
apathy which exists in the public mind, while
Congress is busy passing its five celebrated
financial measures, does not surprise any one
acquainted with the condition of the country,
or the progress of good sense.
If these measures, had been in the same
process of debate in 1837 that they are now,
the whole community would have been in a
paroxysm of excitement on the arrival of the
news each morning. Now the matter is all
changed. The great mass of the business
community are in a state of repose. They
care not what. Congress pass. They are re
gardless of banks, loans, or lands. They
have long since seen the folly of expecting
any good to trade and commerce from the
schemes of politicians and president makers.
The principal interest therefore felt about
the movements of Congress, is seen among
the speculators, stockjobbers, and their agents
from Europe. Among that small class, inclu
ding perchance the office-seekers, there is a
great, deal of curiosity and doubt felt towards
the President. They are not sure of him—
and hence the half coaxings, half-denuncia
tions of that portion of the newspaper press
in the stock-jobbing interest.
Yet this apathy towards these measures
ought not to exist. They will, if all passed,
become the ground work of anew system—
a fresh union between politics and finance,
founded on principles that operate very une
qually upon the great mass of the nation.—
What are those measures? We have al
ready enumerated them—lst, anew Bank;
2nd, a Bankrupt Law ; 53rd, anew Loan ; 4t.h,
a Revenue Law ; sth, Distribution of the Pro
ceeds of the Public Lands. The character
ot all these measures is broadly enough
stamped upon their face. They are identi
cal and homogeneous, and pres*, lit one of the
finest pieces of machinery for taxing the poor
for the benefit of the rich—fur taking away the
property of the real owner and g iving it to the
speculator—that ever teas devised. The Rev
enue Law will increase the price of the poor
man’s coffee, tea, and other necessaries, in
order that, the magnificent London stockjob
bers may save the money they have loaned to
the States. The stocks of several of the
States may be aided a little, but very little—
in the ratio of three —while the poor man’s
tax is increased in the ratio of eight. Other
branches of this singularly constructed finan
cial system have other effects. The money
of the capitalist will be sought for, and got
in order that it may be borrowed by the spec
tator just escaped through the Bankrupt law.
Such being the general character of the
new system, it may be asked, “ought it to
pass?” “Oh ! yes, certainly.” It is a fresh
experiment—a new expedient—a novel com
bination between politics and banking—and
we may as well submit as not. It won’t last
four years —that’s certain.
Our readers will find in the subjoined brief
article from the Augusta Constitutionalist, of
the 14th inst., some of the evils in detail which
will be inflicted on the country by the new
Revenue Bill:
The Tariff. —lt will be for the people of
the south to remember that as a relief measure,
tiie Whig House of Representatives of the
United States, passed a bill laying a tax of 20
per cent* on Tea, Molasses, Salt, C'ojfee, Su
gar, and other necessaries of life, and that such
things as Precious Slones, Gold and Silver
Epauletts, Gems, Engravings, Statuary, and
other articles of this description, cUTn be im
ported free of duty. Not one democratic
member of Congress vo’ed for the bill. The
vote in favor of the bill was 116, against it
101. Os the 101 votes against the bill,- 87
were democrats, and 14 whigs • the 14 whigs
were Messrs. Alford, Borden, Everett, J. Ed
wards, Gilmer, Hunter, J. Irvin, W. W. Ir
win, Mallory, Saltonstall, Slade, Van Rens
salaer, Wallace, and Winthrop.
By statements from the Treasury Depart
ment, and laid betore Congress by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, the increase of
revenue by the new tariff is estimated at about
ten millions of dollars. The article of tea,
which is now free of duty, will produce $!,-
083, 517, and increase the value 5f cents per
lb. The article of coffee, which is now free,
will produce 51,709/214, and increase the
value nearly 2 cents. The article of blankets,
costing not exceeding 75 cents, which are
used by the poor and negroes, and which pay
now a duty of 5 per cent, will have to pay a
duty of 20*per cent. Wines, which produced
during the year ending 30th September last,
according to existing duties, <§>196,073, are
estimated to produce, according to the new
tariff, a revenue of only <§441,835, while the
article of tea and coffee will produce a revenue
of $2,792,741.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.
By the U. S. steamer Gen. Taylor, Capt
Peck, we yesterday evening received the sub
joined letters from our attentive correspond
ents in Florida. They contain the latest in
telligence from different sections of the Indian
Territory. The enemy it will be seen have
been committing more murders, but from the
active movements of the troops, there is a
strong probability that they will shortly be
brought to an account.
Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
PILATRI, August 11.
Gentlemen—Within the last two weeks,
the Indians have twice made their appearance
in the neighborhood of Micanopy. On their
first visit, they merely took a little corn from
Tarver’s plantation (5 miles froru Micanopy)
and passed on towards the north. On their
second visit they were more bold. On Sun
day last, a citizen by the name of Higinbo
tffttn. fthitet on the ft ad between Tarver's
and Fort Harley, and about two miles from
the former place, was fired upou by a party of
the enemy, about ten in number. He escaped
to Fort Harley. He states that his clothes
were pierced in several places by their bullets,
and the reins of a bridle by which he was
leading another her ?, were cut in two. The
news was taken to Micanopy about 12 at
night A party consisting of 50 men, com
manded by Lieut Whiting, marched at day
light, in pursuit. On the night of the 9th, an
i express arrived at Micanopy, givimj infornia
, tion that a citizen of the Ilogtcwn settlement
ha- 7 ’ sen shot in the early part of the atter
no ■: Lieut. Hanson left YVacahoota with a
mouiued force immediately on the receipt of
the news at that station ; and a party under
the command of Capt. Holmes, left Micanopy
on the morning of the 10th. Thus it will be
perceived, that three parties are out,-ope rating
| in the south, west and north of the Alachua
| country. A scout had been out a few days
| before, which scoured the whole country, but
! there was then no signs whatever of the ene
my--which goes to show that they do not
; remain stationary.
It is also reported that the mail rider, and
another citizen, had been shot by the Indians
in the Ocilla, their bodies cut to pieces and
piled in the road.
The mail rider was fired on tonight near
Fort Holmes, which post has lately been
abandoned. A company of Dragoons, uuder
Capt. Fulton, is now in pursuit.
Yours, truly,
East Flohida, August 11, 1841.
I Gentlemen—As you take much interest in
1 all that concerns Mr. Haleck Tustenuggee,
’ it may be interesting to you to learn, that hot
! pursuit is now being made after that gentle
man by two parties of troops, one from Fort
Russell, consisting of forty horsemen and
thirty footmen, under command of Lieut. G.
I W. Fatten, with Lieut. Merrill, 2d Dragoons,
and Lieut. Lovell, 2d Infantry ; and the other
party from Fort King, consisting of all fit for
duty. The scout from Fort Russell, is to ex
amine the country between the Oclawaha'and
St. Johns, as far south as Lake Churchill, and
Fort Butler—and the scout from Fort King to
co-operate from the South. It is believed that
Mr. Haleck is skulking about in this region,
since his “last field of Corn” was destroyed
by Capt. Seawell. If indomitable persever
ance, which seems to defy the almost fatal
I rays of this Southern Sun, which has already
i broken down a large portion of the army, can
i accomplish the capture of this redoubtable
| chief, we may look for this much desired re
sult. To see these men inarch off with five
nays rations on their backs, and thirty rounds
of cartridges, as cheerfully as they would to a
parade, you with your military experience,’
Messrs. Editors, would think they were fel
lows who would accomplish any thing, and so
they can, any thing that man can accomplish.
Success to them, and may all return “safe
and sound ” with Mr. Halieck and all his band,
as a reward for their hard service. But one
word in your ear, Messrs. Editors, dou’t eay
the war is over do facto.”
Yours truly,*
Florida, Aug. 12,1841.
Gentlemen—The news from the seat of war
is still favorable. YVe still hear of Indians
qoming in at Tampa, and of scouts in active
operation. Halieck Tustenuggee, however,
remains indomitable. But he is closely beset
and hopes are entertained that be will come in
speedily. Simultaneous scouts were to have
started today* both from Fort Russell and Fort
King, in quest of this recreant chief. YVe
learn by the express just arrived from the in
terior, that Lieut. Patten actually left Fort
Russell yesterday morning, with a detach
ment of seventy Dragoons and Infantry, with
the intention of scouting the scrub between
the Ocklawaha and the St. Johns, and to co
operate with the scout ordered from Fort
King, by that energetic commander of the 2d
Infantry, Lieut. Col. B. Riley. If Halieck
Tustenuggee continues to remain in the vi
cinity of his old haunts, lie must be an adept
at the game of “hide and go seek.”
Fort Holmes, (E. F.) is abandoned. Its
garrison, consisting of Company A and G, 2d
Infantry. Company G, commanded by Lieut..
Patten, is ordered to Fort Russell, and Com
pany A; under Lieut. McKinstry, to Fort
King. Asst. Surgeon Birdsall, is ordered to
report to the medical Director at Tampa Bay.
THE NEW REVENUE OR TARIFF BILL.
The following are the remarks of Mr. Prof
fitt, (YVhig,) a member of Congress from In
diana, on the Tariff Law, which has just passed
the House of Representatives, and for which
the Georgia Delegation voted, with the ex
ception of Messrs. Alford and Foster. YY r e
recommend them to the special attention of
our readers :
Mr. Proffit said it was well known that,
three weeks ago, he had offered a resolution
providing that the yeas and nays should be
taken on amendments submitted in commit
tee upon this bill, and also upon the bank bill.
He had never been able to get up that reso
lution, though lie had frequently endeavored
to do so. Ani what was the consequence,
and what Was now the spectacle presented !
The consequence was that the sum of eight
(and probably ever of twelve) millions had
been directed to be raised by imports, under a
bill which had been hurried through with rash
and indecent haste, and without the members
being allowed to assign one solitary reason
for the votes they had given. Not a single
gentleman in this House was now responsible
to the people for the passage of this bill. Not
a single individual out of this House could tell
how any one of the members had voted.—-
Here was a bill imposing duties on articles
which, in his section at least, it is supposed
never would have been taxed ; and yet no one
was responsible for it, because, the moment
the bill had come into the House, the previous
question cut off all debate, and forbade any
expression of opinion or sentiment on the part
of any member.
He knew that in this matter he differed
from a large majority of bis political friends.—
He regretted that it should be so'. But he
had opposed,- and so long as he had a seat on
that floor,- be would continue to oppose the
principle which had been introduced this ses
| s;on in legislating as they had done. He had
I had no opportunity to express his sentiments,
neither ire nor any other member had had an
epporlunity of saying one word upon the a
mendment offered by the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Pickens) —striking out
the article of raw hides, an article of which
two and a half millions in value were impor
ted into this country—was, of itself, of suffi
cient importance to be debated one day; yet
not one word had been said upon it. And
that they were called blindly to vote upon the
passage of a bill containing numberless items
upon which they had not had the privilege of
opening their lips. And when the numbers of
this House went home , and the question should
be asked who had voted for the imposition of du
ties upon coffee , the ansrotr would be, Not I,
not I, and not I.” Who they were that had
given such a vote was a matter not to be
found out; an-j, yet, if his vote was recorded
in favor of fine passage of the bill, it would be
taken for graeted that he had voted for all
these propositions. No debate, no reasoning,
no analysis had been allowed, and gross-in
justice hau’ been done to the mercantile clas
ses, without even allowing them to-be heard
’ through their representatives. Not a word
had been allowed on the important amendment
! offered by a member from Atassachusetls (Mr.
i Saltonstall,) giving to men who had shipj>ed
\ cargoes in good faith under the last tariff the
i poor permission to land them under that tariff;
i and they had thus been subjected to an additional
’ duty of twenty per cent.
i He had made it a rule of his legislative life,
(not ftfKP a Tory brief one, (St least in die Le
gislature of Indiana,) where, on matters of
this importance, a free discussion was not al
lowed—where lie believed the legislation to
be hasty, junnatural, aud contrary to the spirit
of the Constitution, and of the laws of the
House —to vote against itand he would do
so.
[A voice—“Agreed.”]
Mr. P. continued. The gentleman says
“agreed.” Suppose he was not agreed, does
he suppose that that would make any material
difference ? [Loud laughter.] lie (Mr. P.)
presumed that it amounted to about the same
thing, whet'.ier the gentleman was agreed or
not He thought it had been sufficiently tes
ted here that, on all these matters, he had pur
sued the course which he believed to be cor
rect, without the little popularity of the day,
or caring what other gentlemen might say or
think of his position here.
Jle had been in favor of imposing duties on
wines* silks, and other luxuries, and he had
supposed that Congress had assembled among
other things, for that purpose. He contended
that by this bill duties were imposed on articles
not contemplated by the people, nor agreed upon
by them. He re-asserted that gross injustice
had been done to the mercantile classes by
this legislation—a legislation which (Mr. P.
was understood to sav) had been well char
acterized in a letter addressed to one or tlie
members from Massachusetts, rind read by
him, as a species of Mexican legislation not
to he tolerated.
New Post Masters Appointed. —-George
S. Black lias been appointed Post Master at
this place, vice Chester Hawks, resigned.—
The Post Office has been removed to the store
of Messrs. Sullivan & Black.
H. C. Phelps, New Ecliota, Cass county,
vice W. J. Tarvin, removed.
Samuel Stewart, Rome, Floyd county, vice
N. Yarbrough, removed.
Daniel H. D rd, Canton, Cherokee county,

The weather in this section, for the last
week has been unusually cool for the sea
son. The crops in general, look very promis
ing.—lbid.
Revolutionary Veterans. —A writer in
the New York Express stales there are but
five officers ol the Revolutionary Army in
that city, and adds the very rent-askable cir
cumstance that the ages of these advance
seriatim from 85 to 89. Their names and
ages are as follows.
Lieut. Abraham Legget, in liis 85th; Ma
jor Leonard Dleeker, in his 86di ; Major
Gen. Morgan Lewis, in hisS7th; Capt. The
odo3ius Fowler, in his 88th ; and Major Wil
liam Popham, in his 89th. They are all in
good heaith.--Savannah Georgian.
The Distribution Bill.— The Chicago
Democrat shows thd extent of the relief to Il
linois which will be realized if the bill to dis
tribute the avails of the public lands should
become a law.- If three millions are distrib
uted, Illinois will receive thirty seven thou
sand dollars annually. The entire debt of the
state amounts to fourteen millions , and the an
nual interest to seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars.
Deduct the sum furnished by the distribu
tion bill (-$37,000) from the interest on the
state debt ($750,000) and it leaves $714,000
to be provided each year by a direct tax on the
people ; and it also leaves the principal of the
debt, fourteen millions, wholly unprovided
for.—A lbany Argus.

PRESENTMENTS
Os the Grand Jury of Randolph county, Au-r
gust Term, 1841.
’OTBU'E the Grand Jury, swo n, etiosen and selerretJ
* for the present Term of this Court, beg leav*
to in ke the following presentments :
}. We present the public jail of tho county as being
in bad repair, and unsuued in its present condition for
the purposes for which it was intended, and suggest to
the justices of the Inferior court the necessity of inw
inert.ale and thorough repairs.
2. VVe have examined the Books of (be Clerks of
the Inferior and Superior Courts, and find that they
have been kept, in a manner highly creditable to the
public officers having them in charge.
3. Upon the examination of ihe books and accounts
of the county Treasurer, the Grand Jury would re
commend ur the Treasurei a rule more systematical
m the arrangement of tiis books and accounts, than
has been used bv some of his predecessors in office.
After deducting the sum o’ $93 27R advanced by the
late Treasurer out of his own lands and the tuither
sum of $51)0 59 of due bills, for the redemption of
which, the county is liable, we tind in the hands of the
Treasurer $156 22*, in not son solvent persons.
In the hands of James Buchanan, the Treasurer of
poor school hinds, we tind the sum of $927 75, in ish
on hand; The Grand Jury also rinds that indiv aiS
heretofore authorized to receive the Academic 1 .nils
of the county, have received from the State targe a
tno nts of money belonging to the county, and refuse
or wholly neglect to pay over the tame.
This Gra id J tiry ilie. efore recommend to the proper
authorities to cause a slrict examination to be made
in order to ascertain the amount of money so received
and the names of the individuals by whom the moneys
have been received and that they cause the same to
be collected bv suit al law against the defaulters and
their securities if it cannot be otherwise collected act
soon as possible.
lu discharge of the responsible duties ininosed upon
them by ihe countv, the Grand Jury have endeavored
td be just and feat not, an | ifter a dilig< nt inquiry inu*
the state of public morals and utleiices against the
laws, we have ample ground to congratulate our fel
low-citizens upon the rapid improvement which a few
vears have brought about in the moral condition of thtf
country.
The Gr ind Jury being about to be discharged from
the responsible duties of the present term, avail them
selves of a right secured to them by our tree institu
tions, and sanctioned by long established practice in
Georgia, of expressing themselves freely and unre
servedly of such public measures as affect the public
weal.
‘l*he people of Randolph in common w ith the citi
zens of our sister coun'ies for a number of years past*
have been in t he habit of receiving timely accommoda
tions by way of loans from the Central Bank, ati instil
tulion founded upon ihe money ot ihe people ot the
slate, and under their control and direction. ‘I he
profits arising iroiri it defrayed the expenses of the
government and the people were exonerated front IhX*
atiori. The people of ihe state felt the beneficial his
tiuence or dial institution and with an enlightened zeal
cherished u and nad itason to hope that its existence
would have been long protracted. Bui alas', our Lea
gtslators in an evil hour, were seized with the mania
of speculation and internal improvement without suf
ficient means to complete the work, the Western and
Atlantic Railroad w as commenced and soon expended
die funds of the Central Bank and involved the Sian*
in debt, we cannot shut our eyes to the painful truth:
The funds of the Stale are exhausted and the people
are deeply indebted. Pecuniary distres- pervades llitt
whole Stale. Thb Central Bank shorn of its strength
by die lan Legislature, call no longer extend to th*
people further accommodations, ana is compelled to
confine its action solely to the collection of such sums
as U had previously loaned to the people, and to com
plete our ruin a double tax is imposed on u* for no
i other purpose that this Grand Jury can conceive than
to further prosecute the w ork on ihe Railroad, which
lias consumed the funds of the Central Bank. This
Grand Jury view with deep regret the course pursued
by the Legislature relative tt> the Central Bank.
stead of euitailing, ibis Grand Jury candidly believ*
that the then and present condition of the country
quired that the means amt powers of the Central Bank
sliouid have been enlarged and strengthened, so as td
have prolonged its existence and enabled it to have
exLenued its aecoinmodaiions and relieved the people
from utter ruin which now threatens them. Hail surh
a course been pursued, this Grand Jury believe that
many families now reduced to beggary and want*
might have redeemed their fortunes and continued td
co itribuie by their enterprise and industry, to thb
wca.th of the Stato.
VVtii.e litis Grand Jury would rejoice at the rapid
progress which is now making in various parts of the
Siaie in Works of Internal improvement, conducted
by individual enterprise, they cannot withhold their
disapprobation of that policy which induced the State
to embark in works ol Internal Improvement. Twd
millions of dollars have already been expended oh thei
Western and Atlantic Railroad, and we are told by
Commissioners that upwards of two millions more will
be necessary for its completion. How is this enor
mous sum to be raised ? By borrowing money ? if
so, why could not the Stale have used her credit ttf
relieve her citizens front utter ruin, with which they
are now threatened 1 Can the money be. raised by
taxation ? Let our Legislators look to the Sheriff
Sales iu every part of the Stale and answer litis ques
tion. This Grand Jury would not exaggerate the evils
that distre-s which pervades the whole country.
All must see it, and a large portion of the country
deeply feel it, aud we cannot withhold the expression
of the hope that our next Legislature will humanely
adopt some measure to alleviate our distress and dt*
mmish our burthens.
(We have examined the books of the Tax Collector
and allow him on hi< insolvent list as follows $lB2 84
4 as State ‘l ax, $95 47 2 as county lax, also the sum
$24 13 2 as- poor lax.)
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Taylor, the
Grand Jury tender him iheir thanks for his courteous
attention to this body during this Term and Ihe able
and dignified manner in wh.cli he lias discharged his
official duties.
The Grand Jury tender to the Solicitor General,
Adam A. R .binson, Esq. their thanks for his prompt
and polite attention to iheir body during the term.
