The Bankrupt Law—Mr. Fillmore voting for ihe
Law, and against its Repeal.
The country is familiar with the history- of the
Bankrupt Law. Never was there a more unwise,
impracticable and odious measure fixed upon the
country. Thousands will remember it as a legal
ised swindle, by which they were defrauded out
of their just rights. None felt its oppression so
heavily as the laboring class of the country. The
hard-w orking, producing classes, the in* chauics
and farmers, who but seldom incur heavy liabili
ties, rarely found it necessary to avail themselves
of its provisions. But in a largo majority of iu-
stances. it was the speculating classes of commu
nity, who had purchased th** hard-earned products
of the farmer and mechanic, that took advantage
ot the iaw, and satisfied their creditors in bankrupt
notices, instead of gold and silver.
By reference to the House Journal, August 17th,
is-ii, p age 363, will be found the proceedings upon
the Senate bill, No. 3, “to eslablish a uniform sys
tem of Bankruptcy,” with an amendment.
Mr. Clifford offered the following amendment to
the amendment:
“Provided, that nothing in this act contained
shall be construed to alter or repeal any State law-
tor the relief of insolvent debtors, or to alter or re
peal any such law exempting certain goods and
chatties from attachment, execution and distress.’’
Upon Mr. Clifford’s amendment, the vote was
veas ftft, nays 94—Mr Fillmore voting nay—(page
364.)
i u motion that said bill be laid on the table, the
vote was yeas lift, nays 97—Mr. Fillmore voting
nay.
On the motion to reconsider the motion of laying
on the labie, tiie vote was yeas IftS, nays 98—Air.
Fillmore voting yea.
On the reconsideration, the question recurring
on tie motion to lay on the tabie. the motion was
negatived, and the House refused to lay it on the
tabie.
On motion, the amendment of Mr. Clifford,
adopted yesterday, was reconsidered, and the mo
tion recurring on said amendment, Air. Clifford
modified his amendment so as to read after the
word distress: “so that any insolvent debtor may
at bis election, either take tiie benefit of the pro
visions of tiiis act, relating to voluntary bankrupt
cy, or of the 8ta:e iaws where be resides.”
On the amendment as modified, the vote was
yeas 91, nays 4J9—Air. Fillmore voting nay.
On the fiual passage of tin* bill, the vote was
yeas III, nays lft5—Air. Fillmore voting yea.
Air. Fillmore moved a reconsideration—yeas 99,
nays 115—Fillmore voting nay.
Tim bill originated in the Senate, of which Jas.
Buchanan was a member. The Legislature of his
own State had passed resolutions strongly in favor
of the measure, aud which were intended to influ
ence him. lie refused to sacrifice his clear sense
of riglr to an unsound sentiment at home, and ac
cordingly opposed and voted against the bill.
(S* e Senate Journal, June 25, 1841, giving the
filial vote, page J14.)
Tin* law went into operation in a very brief time
after its passage. All who are familiar with tiie
liisiory of those times well remember the excite
ment and general dissatisfaction which it produced.
Such was the indignation which it aroused in the
public mind, that Cougress was Hooded with peti
tions for its repeal; and ihe same Congress that
passed it, was compelled, by force of public senti
ment, at its next session, to repeal it.
Air. Fillmore was one of those few men who
were unwilling to yield to public sentiment. He
was det mimed if possible to keep tlie country in
agitation aud perpetuate tin"injury. He no doubt
tnought it would suit tlie stock-jobbers and trading
classes of Buffalo (hat he represented.
A bill was introduced into the House tlie second
session of :bo 27th Congress, for its repeal. That
bill passed, upon the final reading, by tin• decis
ive lute of »4i) to7]—tlie entire Tennessee delega
tion, including Wm. li. Campbell, Aleredith F.
Gentry, and Robt. L. G'aruthers, voting in the af
firmative. except Milfoil Brown and Christopher
11. Williams. Aliilard Fillmore voted NAY ! (See
appendix lo Cong. Globe, 2d ses., 27th Congress,
p. 469.) Having passed tlie House, it went to the
Senate, where Mr. Buchanan, upon its passage,
notwithstanding numerous petitions from liis own
State against its repeal, voted YEA!

Mr. Evans’s Speech:
RUFUS CHOATE FOR BUCHANAN.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
Millard Fillmore in favor of imprisonment
for Deut.
From the Congressional Globe, x-ol. 11, p. 650,
second session of the 27th Congress yve copy the
following:
“Mr. White of Louisiana, expressed his thauks
to the Speaker for awarding to him the lloor, and
thereby giving him the privilege of making a mo
tion important to civil liberty and the rights of
man; which, he said, were daily compromitted,
outraged and trampled under foot in this city
(Washington) by the manner of making arrests in
eases of debt. 11 was the practice here to bold cit
izens to bail; or, iu default thereof, to imprison
them, without any ecidence -if the debt wliatecer, oth
er than the mere allegation of the plaintiff. As an
explanation of the genera! practice, be referred to
a particular case—that of a gentleman from Lou
isiana, one of his constituents, who, coming here
on important business with Congress, had been
sued in the court here, and required to give bail in
tiie sum of §9,000, for which iie is now in duress
of his liberty—a prisoner in the custody of the
Marshal. Here was the case of a -tranger in the
city, brought here on important business with Con
gress, thrown info close jail, without any evidence
of debt, other than the absurd remnants of barbar
ism contained in the declaration of the plaintiff,
which contained nothing but fiction from begin
ning to end, and mailing by which the defendant
could know what lie issued for. There was not
even the affidavit of the plaintiff, showing liis be
lief iu the justice of the claim. Mr. W. read the
writ by which tlie gentleman was imprisoned, and
the declaration filed by tlie plaintiff’s lawyer, the
absurdities of which occasioned great laughter in
the House.
To remedy tin* evil complained of, Mr. W.
begged leave to introduce a bill to regulate mesne
process in Washington county iu the District of
Columbia Tins bill profiles that hen-after no
person shall be imprisoned >r held to bail in this
county, unless there be an ajfidurit of the plaintiff or
Ids agent, proring ihe justice of the debt. The 2nd
section provides that any person now imprisoned
without affidavit or sufficient cause of action, sliall
be set at liberty, unless the plaintiff or liis agent
should, ina given time, file such affidavit.”
After some preliminary debate, Mr. Janies called
for the yeas and nays on the question of tlie pas
sage of the bill; which were ordered, and on call
ing' the roll, resulted in yeas 133, nays 35. Alii
lard Fillmore voted NAT’!
We have not time or space for comment. A
more odious and oppressive law never disgraced a
statute book, and yet Millard l-’illmore opposed its
repeal. Let the poor man think of that.
We must here end onr review of Fillmore for
the present. What we have stated we have giv
en from the record itself. We have referred to
Waterville, Me., August 18.
This town is holding high carnival to-day. It
is commencement to-day, and in addition to this,
whig and democratic conventions have b *e:i sum
moned to meet here. These several cal's have
tilled this beautiful place with multitudes of peo
ple, come to enjoy the literary exercises at the col
lege or to take part iu the political gatherings de
signed to prevent the restoration of the Alorrill
dynasty in the state, and to secure tiie triumph of
conservative principles in tlie presidential eon-
test The democratic mass meeting was called io
order on the i onunon at ii£ o’clock, by Colonel
Johnson Williams, of Waterville, aud organized
by the choice of W. B. S. Moore as chairman,
and two secretaries. Speeches were made by
Hon. James W. Bradbury, of Augusta, and Hon
Nathan Clifford, of Portland, after w hich the con
vention adjourned.
In the afternoon the stand was yielded to the
national whigs, whose convention was called to
order by Jonathan Perington, Esq., of Fairfield,
and organized by the selection of Col. E. Hutchin
son, of Athens, as president, six vice presidents,
and two secretaries. General George Evans, well
known as a prominent whig iu this State, and
formerly U. S. Senator, addressed the audience in
a speech of about two hours length. He read co
pious extracts from the writing of Washington
and Jefferson to show the absurdity of the pleas
set up by the republicans for a return of the poli
cy of the fathers, inasmuch as the republican party
are such as w ere most sternly denounced and re
pudiated by tlie patriots of early history. In this
emergency Mr. Evans said: “If we have no flag of
our own flying; if we have no trumpet to call us as
whigs; if amid the smoke and dust ofthe strife and
conflict of other parties, I can see the. flag of our
| Union flying any where; if, amid the noise and
din of arms, I can hear the trumpet of the. Union
| sounding the rally, I shall not stop to inquire who
| leads tlie forces that protect it.” This announce-
i mi nt of the position taken by Mr. Evans was re
ceived with great cheering.
An eloquent and characteristic letter tvas then read
from Hon. Rufus Choate in reply to an invitation
to be present, from the, wiiig state committee, in
which he deelars his views of the duties of the
w-liigs, in the present crisis of political affairs of
the country. The first duty of whigs, he says,
because they are whigs, is to unite with some or
ganization to defeat and dissolve the new geo
graphical party calling itself republican. Believ
ing the noble ship of state to be within a half ca
ble’s length of a lee shore of rock, in a gale of
wind, our first business is to put her about, and
crowd her off into the deep open sea. What Wash
ington, Alauison, Clay and Webster decided as a
remote and implorabie contingency is upon us.
Yet some men would have us go on singing like
the traveler in the satire, with his pocket empty,
at a presen! peril, the mere apprehension of which,
as a distinct and bare possibility could sadden tlie
heart of tlie Father of liis Country, aud dictate the
grave and grand warning of the farewell address.
Considering what men are, Air Choate says that
he does not say that the triumph of such a party
as tlie republican ought to be expected naturally
and probably to disunite the states; but w ith bis
undoubted convictions it w-ould be folly and im
morality to risk it.
As between the candidates before the country,
be says he shall not venture to counsel the whigs
of Maine, but he deems it due to frankness and
honor to say that, while he entertains a high ap
preciation of Mr. Fillmore, he does not sympathise
with the objects of the party that nominated him. j
Practically, the contest is between Air. Buchanan |
and Col. Fremont. In these circumstances l lie
SHOFD GIYE HIS VOTE FOR MR. BUCHAN
AN ! His capacity is universally acknowledged;
liis life is without a stain; and he represents more
completely than any other that sentiment of na
tionality—tolerant, warm and comprehensive,
without which America is no longer America.
Great applause followed the reading of his
letter, and three cheers were given for Air.
Choate.
Hon. E. W. Farley, before reading the letter,
declared that he fully concurred in the condition to
which Air. Choate had arrived.
Hon. I’hineas Barns, of Portland, then address
ed the audience, mainly in relation to state affairs,
in conclusion lie briefly alluded to national matters,
remarking that he could uot endorse the conclu
sion of Air. Choate. He should wait to see how
the democratic party would act in this trial hour.
He wanted to see a party taking a conservative,
middle position, and when he found that he would
stand with them for the country and whole coun
try.
Judge Bronson, of Bath, also spoke, citicising
with severity the republican party and its candi
dates. He was in favor of Fillmore. Rather than
foster black republicanism, however, with all its
baneful influences, be would vote for Buchanan
as a last resort.
The meeting adjourned with three cheers for
the Constitution and the Union. The meetings
were well attended and were characterized by-
great good feeling and harmony. The speakers
were frequently applauded. The Gardiner Brass
Band furnished some excellent music.

STORY OF TWO SPIES.
Grand Finns of Gen. Lane and the. Free State
Men.
[\Vc receive the following dispatch from our
Private Correspondent, via New York, and give
it in full without endorsing any nr all ofthe state
ments it contains.—Ed. Bulletin.]
Whitehead, K. T., August 4.—On Wednesday
last Gen. Richardson sent two men from this
place to recouoitre Lane’s regiment, before re
ported as making their way into tlie Territory.—
They returned this "evening, and state that just
after crossing tlie Nebraska line they came
upon an encampment of 250 Free State men:
they entered the camp, pretending to be ul
tra Free Soilers: were kindly treated and remrin-
ed all night.
During the night they learned that General
Lane had returned to Chicago to raise more men
and means to send after the party. That lie was
going from thence to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
to raise 5000 men, charter two boats and bring
them through to Kansas without touching at Mis
souri towus.
That he would have sufficient artillery to batter
down any town from which an .attempt was made
to intercept him. That his party was wanting for
forces then at Nebraska City before moving down
to Topeka.
The spies were also informed that the party ex
pected these forces on Wednesday, when they
would take up their line of march. That when
General Lane touched the shores of Kansas
they would move down from Topeka to meet
him.
That when they did join their forces with Gen.
Lane s “they would deny the Border Ruffians, and
ail the United States to boot.”
Richardson’s spies then went up to Nebraska
City where they saw two hundred of the same
tree-soil regiment from whom they heard com-
firmation ol'tlie statement of the “vauguard.”
They are all thoroughly armed with Sharp’s rifles,
pistols, knives, and have several pieces of cannon
with them.
Gen. Richardson immediately sent a statement
of the above to Gen. Persifer F. Smith, and ad
vised him that if tlie U. S. troops do not stop and
disarm ihese murderers, lie (General B.) will be
compelled to call out the Territorial militia for that
purpose.
T lie District Court is now in session here,guard
ed hv a troop of dragoons. Benjamin H. Brock
will be tried first, he is charged with having ille
gally acted as Judge at Elerarion.

Southern Education?
We have been favored with B copy of the dlroS*
lar letter addreised bv Bishop Polk, ofthe diocese
of Louisiana, to the Episcopal Bishop* of Tennes
see, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Florida,
Alississippi, North Carolina aud South Carolina,
on tlie subject of education in the South, with a
proposal for a concert of counsels and union of ac
tion for the establishment of a Southern University
of tlie highest grade.
The particular considerations urged by Bishop
Polk are addressed to those of his own commun
ion; and his desire and design is to have such an
institution organized under Episcopal auspices,
and to supply tlie wants of the members of his
own Church,"with which, in liis ministrations and
associations, he lias become thoroughly acquaint
ed. But the general purpose is more, wide, and
the want which it recognises Rnd desires to sup
ply is uuiverally felt throughout the Southern
States.
With such few exceptions, in particular locali
ties, as only serve to mark the rule as nearly ani-
veral, even the elemental ai d preparatory branch
es of education are very insufficiently provided tor
in the South. The public school system, for pri
mary instruction, is but imperfectly understood
anywhere upon a scale adequate for the training
tip of the youth of a btate; and the seminaries and
th - colleges are few, inadequate y endowed, aud
rarely patronised to the extent of their claims
and merits by Southern parents. For a higher,
lib -ral education, we have no institutions endowed
as they should be, posessing the advantages which
are offered by the principal colleges in Northern
Stat a of the Union. Southern families have been
constrained, in order to give then sons the bene-
fitsofa thorough education, to submit tothesac-
ritices of sending them av, ay from their homes, be
yond the reach of parental care and affection, in an
uncongenial climate, and we will add. which tho
Bishop merely intimates, subject, of late, to in
auspicious influences.
Tlie merely economical view, in the large ex
penditures which are annuady made abroad for
what would be infinitely better if it could be well
done at all at home, is but a secondary considera
tion, although one in itself uf no small moment.
What is of value—not to be expressed in dollars
and cent*—is that the benefits of good education
up to the highest attainable anywhere, should be
brought within the reach of the people of tlip
Southern States; and this necessity is felt more
keenly since the tendency of Northern colleges has
lately developed itself in so many instances to be in
favor of doctrines and trainings which are repug
nant to tlie modes of thinking, aud hostile to the
social organization in the Southern States. It is
becoming unsafe to trust the immature minds of
Southern youth to teachings which are assuming
the tone of propagandism in many places that are
of au insidious character, and likely to unsettle
principles that are believed to be essential to do
mestic and political peace at home. So many cf
the distinguished prolessors in the great institu
tions North have become public declaitners for ab
olitionism—public revilers of the whole frame
work ot Southern soci'-tv as sinful and public par
tisans iu schemes to overthrow them, by iusiuous
or by violent means—that few thoughtful uicu of
tho South can reconcile it to themselves to place
their children under such guardianship, or within
the contamination of the teachings which must
accompany such fanatical sentiments. There is a
growing sense in the slaveholding States that it is
becoming the highest of domestic duties, as well
as a great political duty, that the South should
provide within itsolf for the education of its own
sons, as a measure of self-protection against sys
tematical aggression which has passed from legis
lative halls, the forum aud the polls into academic
groves, the pulpit and the college commons. It is
a preparation for defence which must bo made,
and the necessity being acknowledged, the public
mind is ready to receive with favor any project
which gives promise that it shall be done thorough
ly and well.
There is a great public want, disclosed,acknow
ledged, patent and urgent, and they who offer a
plan of relief, something that meets fully the
whole want, or promises to supply fully a part of
it—a plan wtiick is practicable, and within our
means—should command the most earnest and fa
vorable attention, and, if made acceptable in its
detail*, receive a geuerous and prompt support.
There is, in this plan of Bishop Polk, an idea
which concurs with the ardent wishes and most
earnest convictions of the thinking mass of tho
Southern people. We believe it has been the
subject of a good deal of consultation and corres
pondence already among leading citizens in tlie
States named, and that it is received with much
favor, irrespective of the denominational character
which it will have by being brought forward un
der Episcopal auspices, aud placed under the di
rection of the Bishops of that church. There is a
liberal disposition, and there are ample means.
The South is rich enough to endow a university so
amply that nothin? shall be wanting which can be
obtained elsewhere for a complete education: and
it is ready to listen to propose.’^, which come un
der such imposing auspices as those which Bishop
Polk indicates, and such extended and weighty
influences as he invokes to the cause.—Aleut Or
leans Picayune.
Macon and Warrenton Rail Ro*d.
The great want of Macon, and one which has
been acknowledged by her friends and well-wish
ers for years, is a direct communication by Rail
road with Charleston. This can be simply and
easily supplied by building a Road from this place
to AVarenton, on the Georgia Road, a distance of
about seventy-five miles, and for which a liberal
charter was granted by the last Legislature.—
eel
Shall we put our shoulders to the wheel and build
the Road or by standing idle, allow others by their
industry and energy to grasp the prize, which is
nearer our reach than theirs, for grasped it wiil bo
by some one. We cannot build the Road without
the aid of the city of Charleston. Charleston, from
former expressions of her wishes, prefers tiiis to
any otiier connexion with the interior of Georgia
and her Railroads, but with her the object beiug a
diract route across and into the State of Georgia,
if she can't obtain this the shortest and most direct,
it seems that she runs Favorable to one longer and
more expensive and which will effect only imper
fectly what tlie AVarenton Road, would do so per
fectly and at a much less expense; for judging
from au article in a late Griffin paper, “very mater
ial aid” may be expected from Charelston to build
the Middle ground Railroad, extending from. Cov
ington, through Griffin to Columbus, whene ver tlie
Road is commenced and which is now chartered
aud being put under weigh.
If Charelston aids in building the Middle Ground
Road, it will not be expected that she will aid also
in that from Warrenton to Alaeon, preferable as it
may be, susceptible as it is of being built, at much
less cost, and connecting as it will, much more ef
fectually that city with Middle and South Western
Georgia, and also other Roads and the Gulf of
Mexico. The question recurs, shall the Warren
ton Road be built? If so, it must be done uot
merely by calling on Charleston and other places,
but by placing our own shoulders to the wheels.—
Now there is a leasure season, let us think and talk
the matter over and in the coming Fall, when the

Buchanan in California.
In no part of the Union has the nomination of
