'• . ' Mr. Southard opposed the amendment. This paving of the debts had not been called lor by the Departtoent. He did not wish to interfere its affairs unasked. He thought, as it was an appropriation, it ought not to be incorporated in the bill for reorganizing the department. He w s opposed to making appropriations iu the dark. It was not known what sum this would take from the Treasury. 'There was to, he a commissioner to be sure ; there might be some ’■ ! safetv iu that.

The Counsel for the Bauk (says the Augusta Courier.) moved for a uew trial ou Saturday morning, on fourteen grounds. The Court, on uiotiou of the defendants, which was resisted by the Slate, ordered the grounds to tie filed, and to operate ns a supersedeas, fill a decision ou the motion for a uew trial. The case is to he argued by brief, ou or before the first of May, and it is expected that the opinion of the Court will he prououuced at the Jiiiie Term. The following is the judgment of tho Court, which is superseded hy the motion for a new trial, till that motion is decided : “ It is considered hy the Court here, that the’ liberties, privileges, aud franchiser, to wit: that of being a body, politic and corpoiate by the name and style of the Merchants and Planters Bank, heretofore used, enjoyed a ad exercised by the defendant, ho seized into the hailds of the State, aud that the said defendant do iiot r in any man ner hereafter, intermeddle, use, have, eiyoy, or exercise any of the liberties, privileges and fran chises ■ of .a body politic or corporate; but that the defendant be absolutely forejudged and ex cluded from holding, using or exercising any of the liberties of a body corporate- or politic, and that ihe'Stuterecover Ms costs, to be taxed. &c.” bio the net 'amount of postages received ou the route,” being stiil uuder consideration, - r 51 r.'Ewing further opposed the amendment, and said, when it was in order, if the amend ment proposed should he rejected as he hoped it would, lie intended to follow up the principle embraced in that part of the hill, by offering a further ainendmeut, that there should he no in crease of compensation on any route which was iu existence more than ten years. ■ Mr. Grundy decliued discussing the proposi tion, because he saw plainly that it was n-jt to lie adopted. The great evils uow complained- of, were improvident extra allowances. The hill required the Post Master General to report to Congress, within ten days from tha commen cement of every session, what allowances he had made, the reasons for them, and the services for which they.had been allowed, which be thought were sufficient guards against the evils complain ed of, or auy others to he apprehended. The limitation to double the amount of postages on the route was very uucertaiu, and iu case any thing should happen to obstruct the progress of the mail on anv route, if there was no discretion left to the Postmaster General to semi on the mail, it would have to lie until hy the regular re currence of the mail it could be carried on. One thing should bo observed, that as much security and certainty should bo given to the contractor as possible, and then he would have a greater inducement to make a low bid. He did not differ from the gentleipiin from Ohio upon the prin ciple, but bo did i: Jt think the machine would operate advantageously without some discretion being left iu the Postmaster General oil this sub ject. Mr. Porter was opposed to granting any extra allowance whatever, and had prepared last night nil amendment embracing his views, hut he had since yielded to the solicitations of his friends, and would not now press it, but he thought the Inconveniences which the public would sustain by taking away this uuliinited power, would not he so great as granting extra compensation in auy shape. , ‘ Mr. Ewing said that the law hefo’re was ns im perative aud explicit as to the amount ofservices which was to lie performed, as the present pro position, and it tyas disregarded, and should we pass' another, and then another of the-same tenor. •■ .** ■ , Mr. E. proceeded to show that tho connecting of routes, as managed by artful contractors, was a most fruitful' source of abuse. He did not think any danger would result from authorizing the Postmaster General to discontinue routes when he might find the'puhlie iuterest required it. That the same discretion was now used by-the He did not agree with- the hono were those due last year, or those uow due, or those due a mouth hence. It would he throning open a door to the grosses! extravagancies.— There must be something more than the resigna tion of a ederk before he could place, auv confi dence in that Department. Mr. Grundy sab 1 the Department was iu debt —that was not doubted or denied, and tie were about to 'take'away its means. That being the case,. all he asked was that its debts should be paid, and if we- made Aq'-.suoh provision, we should, by taking aivav its means,, be the cause of ils creditors loosing their debts, although the money was advanced fortlie benefit o F tin* Peo ple. He, therefore, saiV.no re a -on for calling on the Executive, or the Postmaster General, on the subject; But the minority of the committee were of opinion, that if we thtik aifray ttye means of the Department, we ought to pay its debts — lie admitted that J the Postmaster General had fiq right to bind thwUnited States by alonu, aud he so voted at the last session; but if the Depart ment should go on, it would redeem' it9elfs We all thought it, would be unwise not to reorganize the Department, anil if we did so. the question onlv. was, was it right to pay the debts, or suffer the creditors to lose them ? Without legislation, the creditors would got their debts, and by doing i so, they would lose them. The Postmaster Ge- neraf would never say that he had made an ap plication to Congress for aid ; for he did t.ot make it; but it ivas a suggestion of himself, on the part of the minority. One pari of the Com mittee thought it ought to he ndvauced. anu an other that it ought not. Aiid he eould not agree in the piopriety of the remark, that this was not the proper place for introducing the provision.— What place uas.so proper tor suf plying the de ficiency as the bill which deprive ! the Depart ment of its means ? If tho principle was right, to pay them, the amount ought not to deter the Senate from granting i;. If the ‘security pro posed for ascertaining 'he correctness and justice of the debts was insufficient, ho had no objection that the names of any other persons should be inserted that gentlemen desired. Mr. Ewing objected to the amendment because it was not the proper place in which to inser; it: the only true mode of making the appropriation was hy introducing a bill for the purpose. But it was unexampled Ho ask Congress to pay the debts of a department. Was. such a thing ever heard of, with regard to the War or Navy De- pa tments. How- were we to know that the debts were actually contracted? Before he con sented to vote any thing for the purpose, lie was determined to know what these debts were. Bu! some of those debts .consisted of drafts which : were not payable till September. 1835. for anti cipated services, and if we shculil agree to pay them, it would be allowing the service to he ren dered or nor, just as the creditor pleased. Mr. Porter thought this was a most extraordi nary call upon the Senate, to vote away, one, two, pr three hundred thousand dollars without knowing anv tiling of the propriety of the ‘debt contracted. The amendment said ;*!! the debts up to theolsr March, and every thing might come within its provisions, no matter how it was ap plied.

He was for striking at the root of the evil and oppose all ' such powers. •( The amendment was disagreed to. The Senate next proceeded to consider the j I5th section, submitted hy .Mr. .Gruudy a3 ail araendmend; in the following words : “That the expenditures for the transportation of the mad and nil other expenses incident thereto, shall not exceed the revenues of-the Genera) Post Office.” &e. Mr- Grundy thought the Department should of the State-and the General Government, with regard lo them, will be consummated during thb present ,session of Congress. No less than three distinct delegations from tho nation have repair ed to Washington City—the hostile party dele gation, opposed to emigration, hi aded by John Ross—-the- emigrating delegation, he alcd by Johu Ridge—and the. best bargain-that can-be- made delegation, headed by JUDGE UNDER- \Y ,, OD. The memorial oftho emigrating de legation was presented to the House of Repre- Senmtivps on the 10th iust, by Mr. E. Everett, and that of the hostile party to the Senate on the 21st, liy' Mr. Frehugliuyscu. Tile former is in favor of the emigration of the whofo tribe west terposed, and not leave a boundless discretion to the Department—that without the restraints con tained in the proposed amendments, it would he' in the power of tho Postmaster General to ruin the Treasury, lie concluded that the Depart ment should nni he permitted to go boyond its revenues. Congress would lie obliged to make the appropriations after the contracts wore made, and all the motives which gentlemen had so much feared, might bo brought to near before the ap propriation should be made, and Congress must pay all the charges. 'Mr, Ewing said ho hoped the honorable .chair man (Mr. Grundy,) wotdd bw equally zealohsfor the pnblic treasury. He believed that $800,000 of the Mississippi, aud the latter proposes t6 sell | would be loft after defraying all the expenses of to tuo United States for. the use of Georgia, all J the Department. That the incomo of the De- their lands not needed for theifowu personal use j partment would 'oe more than sufficient to defray and enjoyment,, on the condition that they'be • all ils expenses. His only objection to the a- mendnicnt was, that it held out the idea that its allowed to remain, and be recognized by the S'ate as equal in political privilege:, with other citizens of Georgia. The best-bargain-that- can-bo-niade delegation has not yet been heard from —Southern Bantu r. to some gentlemen, and therefore ho moved to strike it off, and that each Congress hereafte? should, electits own officers. These were the views which operated on In move the repeal of the resolution.^- lie ^ other reasons, which ho should-be ready to five, whenever the resolution should be taken up caiu passage. Mr: Poindexter suggested that one of the too. sequences of the passage ot this resolution ivoold he, that Congiess w ould, at every short session, he left liming the vacation of nine months witk- out any public printer. Between the 4th iMartk and the bcginniug’of December, there would be qo pnblic printer. One o r the questions which the Stales decided for themselves was, that which related to the time <>f electing their representatives to Congress, and some of ihe Slates made'their elections more than twelve months iu advance. Aud the question pow with the Senate was, whether the public printer sbouin tie elected nine months iu advance, dr that < ’oogress should he left during that nine months without an} public printer?— In reference to the two House* haviug the cliow of their own officers, In: would oilly remark, flat either House had the power -to go into the elec tion of a new printer during thesessiou.il thcuue already employed did'not behave properly. He thought the rule as it now stood much he tier thau wouid he that.which must.ho.acted on if (be jam! resolution was repealed* He hail merely tlirunn out these views for the consideration of the com: mitree. Mr- Mangum rose and said, that lie wished, ou reflection, to give. a different, direction to the resolution thau he had previously indicated.— He considered the joint .resolution as equivalent in all respect* to a hnv. He thought, ihere f nte, that the present resolution should go to a commit tee wriiich would he c.ouipeieut to examine the law on the subjpct, aiid which would go into the investigation. . He-would, therefore, uoiv move to refer.Ibe joint resolution to the cmuftiittee on the Judiciary. He concluded with expressia; his hope that tho committee would at once loot into the subject, and make a report. Mr. Bemou said, he apprehended the xhcb object, if there was any object at ail to be accom plished bv referring the resolution, was, fot the purpose of bringing in arguments w hich would influence the committee, and iniluce it to reject the proposition. Now, Be- thought this was a inuderti couceptiou, and one not to be found ii the rule* which regulated all Parliamentary pro ceedings. The resoJution contained no details— it was a single tiling; and he was of Opinion that there was no ueceSs ; ty for sending it to a com mittee. If, however, gentlemcu wished it logo to the Judiciary committee, then the effect would be'to consign i> to.the tomb of the Capuicts.— But. ns to the idea of having a printer in the va- a tion, he held it to he an abuse growing out ®f the resolution which lud bfeen passed some years [go, aud ail abuse, too, iu direct violation ui die amc. IIoiv, he asked, was the public printing xccutcd prior to 181S? W hy. precisely oo ibe s-an"e principle .as: the-fuel; stationary, &c. w* supplied, under the direction of the becretary of tho Seiiati: and Clerk of ike House.

They were, that >be prinu r should S 1 '® bOtid to the Tilerk for the prompt aud acc |,r * 1 * execution of ihe priiiiiug.

A particular reason which opera ted to prevent him from submitting this resolution to the action ofa committee, was that a resolu tion, similar in its character, two years ago, w a- referred to a-coinmiitee, which was usually more active iu its movements than any other commit tee of the Senate; yet th.it committee did not find time to'act upon the resolution, so as to re pnrtit, until the timo h id gone hy when the object fjr which it was offered could he effected.
