HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 'Thursday, M'nj 4. Tilt: LOX.N KILL. On moiion of .Mr. Smith of Maryland, the house resolved itself into u commit tee ot the whole, Mr. Smith of N. C. in the chair, on the bill to authorize the Pre sident of the United Smies | 0 borrow two millions of dollars, and for other purposes. • A debate arose on the provision* of this bill, which occupied the remainder of llic day's sitting. It is not our purpose now to attempt a report of it. What fol lows will serve to shew the cournc of the debate. Mr. Smith of Aid. briefly explained the several provisions of the bill, and announced Ins intention to propose, in consequence of the proposed extent of the loan, (lor IJ years) that the interest to he paid (hereon should be limited to the per cent. [If it cannot he borrowed at this rate, it may be raised by a tempo rary loan, at t> per cent, which the Hank of the United States is to be authorized to lend.] Mr. Trimble then made a motion, to strike out /tru millions, (the projiosed a- mouiit of the loan and to insert m lieu thereoffire millions : and entered into a broad view of the state and prospect of our linanrial affairs, to shew, that a larger loan than two millions of dollars was necessary, from the revenue having hprn overrated, and that, if the sinking fund was left untom-hed. Eve millions would be little enough. If this motion succeed ed, he intended of course, to move to trikcoottlic provision, XVliirhauthorize* the application of the surplus of the sinking fund for the [iresent year, to the current expenses of the year. To sepa rate the distinct questions, however, of the true amount of deficit, and of the ex pediency of thus applying the *iuk>uj fund, he limited his motion for the {ire sent to fcttikiug out the word rvo, leavin; the amount Id,mk,to he titled is the com mittee should think proper. Mr. Starrs followed, on the same side of the question as Mr. Trimble. He too doubted the correctness o! the estimate Joe. Ih-» >is make the Spauisb aamc admir- ^ icvcnuc present tear, and x;d i.ivl mrrttfi, at t\te same tm>e that we * 1 therefore argued tb -.t the j.rnpiXed a- ■iiotidt of the Joan was too small. lie was also of opinion that a due regard to the public faith required that the surplus of the sinking fund should not he applied to the expense* of the correutyrur, &:c. In the course of his speech, Mr. '. guir notice that he should call up hi> motion kicking to a system ol internal revenue, with a view of amending it so a* to nuke it a resolution calling on the Secretary ot the Treasury to report to t’ougr the next session, a system of Internal Taxation adapted to any deficiency in the revenue, arising from the excess of the expenditures of the gov eminent over its receipts. Mr. Smith replied to Mr. Trimble and Mr. Starrs, lie denied that there was any invasion of the faith of the govern ment as pledged in regard to the sinking Fund. Ile defended the report of the committee of Ways and Means, point to point, and argued that it would ho absurd to borrow money A. pay interest on it that it might lie idle in the Treasury, as tlii money must do if borrowed, since it couli not be employed in (be redemption of the public debt, unless (of which there was no probability) it should be in the market at or below par. ■Mr. i/o^nd i made a few remarks, in favor of the hill, hut also in favor of somewhat larger amount of Loan than two millions, thinking that a loan of that amount left too little* surplus for contin genriea. On the subject of the sinking fund, lie took the sunie ground as Mr. Smith, and entirely denied that the ap plication of the idle surplus of that fund tothe current expenses of the govern ment was at all inconsistent with the laws creating and regulating that fund. Mr. flaldvin spoke in favor of a loan •f live millions, and of course against that part of the bill which relates tothe surplus of the sinking fund, which fund, according to iiis construction of the law, n ,i» sacredly pledged to the sole purpose of paying the public debt, nod inapplica ble to any other unless during war—a case specially provided for, and there fore excluding any other contingency. Mv. Jiiulniur controverted Mr. Bald win's construction of the law. He con tended that any sur|diis of' Iho Sinking Fund, which could not be applied to the purchase of the I’ublic Debt at or under par. might lie applied to the ordinary purposes of the government—being idle and useless in tiic hands of the Commis sioners of the Sinking Fund, until at the e nd of two years it reverts to the trea sury. Mr. Baldain and Mr. Trimble both spoke in reply, the !a"er much at large; when, after a session of about six hours, the committee rose ; and the House ad journed. Friday, .May 5. The Iloiwe then again resolved iiself nto a committee of the w hole, Mr. Smith of North Carolina in the chair, on the Loan Bill—Mr. Trimble's proposition to strike out the words rtoo millions, be ing under consideration. Mr. Starrs rose hi support of the a- memlment, ami entered into an argument to shew that the sinking fund was so lemnly pledged to the redemption of the public debt ; and that this fund could not bo touched, or diverted from its o- nginnl purpose, without violating the public faith ; he spoke also in favor of tilling the blank with five millions, and thus providing resources for any unfore seen contingency which might occur. Mr. Harbour made sonic additional re marks to fortify the opinion which he had yesterday advanced, that it vvas en tirely within the ju*t power of Congress, without infringing at all on the public faith, to apply the surplus of the sinking fund to the public current exigencies, A that it was expedient to make such an pplicalion of the surplus to supply the xi-ting deficit in the Treasury of the Union. Mr. Speaker Clay took the converse of Mr. Harbour's position ; ami main tained the propriety of adhering inviola bly to the system adopted in 1810 for redeeming the public debt ; and conse quently the inexpediency of touching the surplus of the sulking fund u liich lie considered as forming one of the most essential feature* in the permanent s\.s- tern of the government, and which should not be made subservient to tem porary causes or incidental pressure on I lie treasury. He remarked at some length on the present exigencies, and the probable condition ofthr treasury for the future ; believing that the deficit would greatly exceed the amount estimated by the committee of ways and means, ami that the revenue from the public land* was much overrated ; lieregrettedth.it some permanent practical system hail not been proposed by the committee instead of the inefficient system of loans, to which he vvas opposed. Mr. Harbour made some remarks in reply, and Mr. I lay rejoined. Mr. Fuller made some remarks on the nature of pledge*, from which and from a reference to the laws providing the sinking fund, he deduced the opinion that the only pom*, to which the faith of the nation vvas pledged, ivus to provide suffi cient funds for the payment of the public dehta-i it should become due, and that it vvas no violation of that faith to use, in the mean lime, for another purpose, the money set apart fur that object, «o that the debt was faithfully met when the day of payment should arrive. Mr. /-».;«ti</' i concurred entirely in all that had hern said concerning the neces sity of observing the public faith, in pay ing either the interest or the principal of a debt w hen it becomes due ; the on ly pledge other than this was, that 10 million* of dollars should ho provided annually, almve the expenditure ; but. if the unetnplovcd portion oftbis fuud he : allowed to lie in i'nc hands of the com- niissioners ot the sinking fund, to borrow 1 for the public exigencies would he ad ding to the expenditure without increas ing the income, icc. IJe was averse to borrowing money merely to purchase up stock ; and argued at some length to shew that tile public faith was merely pledged that t!;Cf° sheuld he so much ol the public debt annually paid ; if to be bought—not that the machinery of the sinking fund should he kept up ; that there vvas no impropriety, and that it would he expedient, to make use ot th surplus of the sinking fund now lying inactive. He thought it would he im proper to adopt any permanent system of revenue other than the existing one in the present exigency ; because no one could foresee what would he the a- uioiuit of income from the ordinary sour ces next year; it was proper to see what would probably be the permanent con dition of the pecuniary resources of the nation before a permanent system should be adopted to meet it, &c.&c. Air. Clay again spoke in support of a steady and inviolable adherence to the system provided in 1816. for the grad ual redemption of the public debt ; argu ing that il was this cour*e of policy which hail given such advantage to England as to enable lier to contend with, and a! most conquer, Europe ; and that a strict observance of it by this government was necessary to preserve the public credit unimpaired and give confidence in the good faith of the government, fee. Mr. Smith, of Aid. entered into an elaborate defence of the report of the committee of ways and means, anithe course recomended by them. The question w as then taken on strik ing out the word two, and carried. Mr. Smith, of Aid. moved to fill the blank with three million*. Mr. Trimble moved free million*. Mr. IVHliams, of N. C. moved two millions Jive hundred thousand dollars. The motion for Jive millions being first tried, was negatived ; and The motion to fill the blank withtArrr millions was agreed to—ayes 05 noes 50. On motion of Mr. Smith, of Aid. the blank left to fix the rate of interest to lie given for the loan was filled up Jive per cast. Mr. fjtnrndcs moved an amendment, having for its object to make the loan reimbursable at the pleasure of Ihe go vernment, instead of after the iirst of January 1832, and paying an interest in the mean time of six per rent.—conceiv ing it improper, that because, at a mo ment of pressure, the government was obliged to contract a debt, it should in Case of more prosperous eimunstances not have the faculty of paying it off. Considerable debate took place on this motion,-chiefly on the probable revenue in years to come, and the ability of the government to pay this loan—in which Messrs. Lowndes, Clay, Smith, of Md. and Fuller, took sides. The motion to uuifud the bill was negatived—ayes 80. Mr. Buldwin moved to insert a clause to authorize the sale from time to time of so much of the stock of the Bank ofthe United State*, owned by the U. States, a* may he necessary to meet the ex- prnccs of government for the current year. This motion was supported by Mr. Baldwin, and was opposed by Messrs. Clay, and Smith, of Maryland. The a- mendment was negatived—ayes 10. The committee then proceeded to the consideration of the resolution which was referred toil, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare and lay before Congress, at its next setsion, a system of internal revenue. Mr. Clay hoped the committee would reject this resolution. The Executive, he said, hail the power of the veto and lie thou'zlit it would be goins too far to give to it also the power of originating measures. The rcAoluiioii was r-fleeted hy the committee without a division ; and The committee then rose, arid report ed tl.eir proceedings to the House ; and The House adjourned. St. Thomas, April 18,18-20.

Every friend of the federal government should become a volunteer against sueli ag gressions upou its repose ; every press from the St. Croix to the Bio Del Norte, should put on the armour of hostility to such a headlong impetuous course, and if at last a fatal apathy should prevent a general array against a ifnrtrine so unhallowed, there is a Siction of the Union which, independent of the chime of patriotism that ought equally to inspire all, must from interest to them selves and duty to posterity, by every open, honorable and legitimate means in their power, oppose such an unjust and sordid en croachment.

(k .. e,“rations of Mr. \V:.t,|, before alluded to, tlte inference Trom whirh is too plain to he misunderstood, and shew distinctly, mil only the Views of liis part) , but the maimer ill w hich the. subject is again to lie agitated.

Thus circumstanced, possessing the main strength of the union in every respect, they may well meet with equanimity ail menaces from the other part, of defection and vio lence ; and it would lie their duty rather 'a risk tile execution of them, than to surren der any one great principle essential to the honor and true welfare of the whole, &t con secrated hy reason as a part of the religion of human nature.” Again, he lias declared that “if was nobly said hy (Mr. Lowrie) that he preferred the dissolution ofthe. Union to the extension of negro slavery beyond the Mississippi, by the instrumentality of the Union," and that ha “heartily approved of the sentiment.” Upon the result of the Missouri question in Congress, lie disclaims “any arrange ment implying the admission of Missouri in to the Union, on such terms ns would allow of the indefinite duration of her negro slave- rv.” “This isa catastrophe (liesays) which, if it can be prevented, without infringing the federal Constitution, the non-slave holding stiites are still bound to strive to avert with no less zeal, am] with more, systematic unity than they have already displayedthat he compromise, “ far from presenting a se rious impediment offers the strongest incite ments to the renewal of those virtuous and patriotic efforts which, with resolution ami perseverance,rannotfail to fie crowned with success:” that lie “would have the body of American freemen to enquire whether the. clause ol the act uf compromise, which pro vides, that the Constitution vvliirh may lie formed by Missouri shall he * not repugnant to the Constitution of die United States,’ does lint leave the whole question open, and taise a certain barrier to her admission into the Union, until she has herself prescrib'd a definite term tothe hideous institution which she can aholisli eunfessidlv without danger to har safety or prosperity. In answer to a remonstrance against such disorganizing opinions, he has lately justified/ himself in a manner deeply calculated and loubtlets intended tn inflame the public feei ng of the South to the last point of endu rance, and tauntingly repeats,that “touch ing the Missouri question, we need offer no additional explanation* for Pennsylvania.— Her creed and resolution in this cause arc complete and stedfast; and sedate in pro portion to their stability. They will not he. prevented from being maintained in the pro per season by all the agency, direct and indi rect, of th* Apo-Ute* of polittesl expediency against political consistency amt morality.” These then are the sentiment* we have to meet, there can lie no mistake in the matter, it is not even attempted to hlink the question —disunion or the n jection of slavery, a “ se parate confederacy,'' or a “society tnth an u- nifortnfaee if arrangement." To Air.

To others better able to manage it, I leave tire trie in question, not however without this remark, that to draw a rnnciusioii unfavora ble to tlie firmness of the south front tee character of its forbearance, is not only un sound in argument, but unsafe in principle, and those who have received and still retail! such a snphisticakd impression, may yet have their judgments disabused at a price far above any reasonable value that may be pla ced upon the lute of i ppositinn or the pi ide. of opiuiuiL ATT1CU8. vc* tu* socTHLHx ftr.counr.R.

The session of Congress of 1817, IS, was the first in which Mr. t'olili served. In tGesunimor preceding this session, viz.iu July 1817, a treaty was entered into with the Chrrokee Indiana, and subsequently ra tified by the government, by which they hound themselves to transfer such a portion of their territory entire cast of the Mississip pi, constituting tlie present Cherokee coun try, as the population of the Cherokee* ou the west ofthe Mississippi bore to those on the east. Although hut a small district of country was immediately acquired fur Geor gia hy this treaty, yet a solid foundation wan laid for the extinguishment of tlie Indian ti tle to a large portion, if not the whole, of tins- Georgia lands, included within the ( hen>- kec nation ; for n* the time of making tho treaty, it was believed from the report of tho deputation from the Cherokees on the Ar kansas* liver, that at least one third of tho nation were ill that country, and immediate* ly subsequent to the treaty, a very conside rable emigration took place; and as they looked to the west as the plare where !!■*£ name and nation were to be preserved and perpetuated, there is no doubt that the wish tu acquire tis great an extent of country a* possible would hare induced a very gcuerab if not a total emigration in a few years. Who i nuld have wished fur a fairer prospect fuf the acquisition of ouc territory than w as pre sented in. this treat*. 5 It will be kept in re membrance that Mr. fold* did not enter f'ingress till alter this treaty was made and ratified, and at a lime vrheu well founded hopes xveru entertain'd. th»* the king neg ated. rii.ets of Georgia Hagan to be regard- <■<1 by the General Government.
