PENSION BILL.
r i he question pemiintr w as on the amendment offer-
small
portion of the South, xvould claim to be heard, j,
was a subject, beyond every other, in xvhich the S< )U .
i them people possessed the deepest interest, and (lre
! about xvhich they had been more decievcd, in his opin
ion, than about any other upon the face of the earth-
j and, to be undeceived, it xvas only necessary for them
to dojusticeto themselves in this matter. Well n,ig| t
■ gentlemen be afraid of the truth, as to tiie position of
parties, £oin£ from this place.
Mr. Black again resumed his remarks, and
I xvas proceeding further to reply to Mr. Gidding,
xvhi n
Mr. Raynor said thcdiscnssi"n had gone far cnon•>fi
and in his opinion, it xvas only calculated to please a
certain class of gentlemen in this House. Besides
the pension bill xvas before the committee, and the
gentleman [Mr. Black] xvas discussing Abolition.
Mr. Bynum said he knew whom the remarks of'Iff
colleague [Mr. R ay tier] xvere intended to reach; bu t
he xvould say, well might certain gentlemen from the
am! gather'd their South wince, for this xvas, and ever must he, a tender
subject to them. They xvere anxious (said Mr. B.) to
I arrest any discussion that would let the truth go to
the South, and their position xvas becoming more evi
dent.
i Mr. Black resumed Ins remarks; and after frequent
interruptions, said lie held in band a portion ofan
ancient book. He meai t the Bible itself. Noxv, £ ; r

Mattliexv, 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and Jill verses. Mr B. ac
cordingly read as follows;
“I. Judge not, that ye be not judged.
“2, For xvitli xxhat judgement ye judge ye shall he
judged; and xvitli xxhat measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you again.

to reply serinii/ii to the arguments by which that po

In the course of the remarks of Mr. C. allusion xvas

on that subject, which xxill appear when the debate

THE CREDIT SYSTEM— LOCOFOCOISM—
OLD TIP See.
Of all the schemes xvhich xvere projected lo defeat
Mr. Van Buren, and elect Gen. Harrison, there xvas
none which operated with half so much force iu bring
ing about that event, as the ding dong which xvas
raised about die currency.
It was proclaimed every where, from the log cabin
and stump, that nothing but the credit system could
save the country—that the idea of collecting ihe pub
lic revenue in hard money, and compelling die Banks
to redeem their notes xvitli specie, xvas a project of
modern invention—a loco foco measure, conceived hi
the brain o( Mr. Vail Buren, and set in motion for
the premeditated purpose of bringing die country to
ruin. Exen Mr. Dawson in his general order to the
xvhigs, last spring, to take up Gen. Harrison, declared
that the credit system was about to be ruined, and if
the coarse of the administration Was not arrested, Un
people could not get money from the Banks, to save
their property from the Sheriffs hammer,
The people believed—Gen. Harrison xvas elected—
his friends caine into poxver—and xvhat have they
done? Why, they had scarcely xvarmed their seats,
before they all turned loco foco’s, xvent the xvliole
stripe for a hard money currency—ordered die Banks
to shell it out, or forfeit their charters—sexved up tiie
credit system—declared tbe condition of the people
required no relief, and that they xvould not grant it, if
they could—and noxv xvhen Mr. Daxvson’s dear con
stituents required the use of the credit system to save
their property from the Sheriffs hammer, it is nowhere
to be found, and they must be ruined hy the loco fo-
coism of the very men xvlio climbed into poxver by
abusing it.

PAULDING COUNTY PRESENTMENTS.
“The people are speaking.”;—
The Grand jury of Paulding CoUllty has spoken
a language in their late presentments, wortbx of
xvronged and independent citizens.
They censure in terms of marked disapprobation,
the course of the Legislature, towards the Central
Bank, and their total refusal to take any' steps to as
sist the people out of their embarrassments—and con
clude as fid lows:
“The Governor, xmiIi a heart always alive to the
sufferings of the community—with a foresight worthy
of all commendaiion—did recommend to the legisla
ture, to adopt a plan that xvould have, in some meas
ure, warded off the blow*, that noxv certainly axvaits
us; but the last legislature, deaf to every call of rea
son, adjourned, disregarding his suggestions, and ma
king no effort to remedy an evil that all acknowledge
existed, and its disastrous effects could not he avoided
olherxvise than by legislative relief.”
There xvere twenty-one Jurors, and only four dis
senting.
ami then sliaii thou see dearly to cast out the mote out
oftliv brother’s eve.
Mr. B. contended that this passage of Scripture
xvas applicable to Mr. Giddimrs. We of* tiie South
(-aid Mr. B ) sav xve have no mote in our eye, neither
on the subject ofdaverv or any oilier subject. J call
upon the gentleman in the language of Holy Writ,
“ Thou hypocrite, first ca^t out the beam out of tliine
ow n eye : and then thou shah see clearly to east out the
mute of thy brothel’s eye.”
Mr. B. then concluded his remarks ; not, howexer,
without frequent interruptions on the ground of irre-
levancx'.
[The remarks of Mr. 1>. are in a course of prepa
ration and xxill be given liereafer.]
Mr. Downing of Florida, in a very animated man
ner, defended his constituents from the charges
brought against them by Mr. Giddiugs, of stealing
negroes from the Indians, ect. He. Mr. D. denied
that the gentleman from Ohio had substantiated his
charges by a single proof.
Alluding to the ground taken by Mr. Giddiugs on
the Abolition question, Mi*. D. observed that, if the
V\ bigs of tbe South imagined that the individual who
came by the cars this morning, sanctioned tlio-e prin-
11»ex* xvould have said to him, “begone for

that there xvere men of the Whig parly acting with
him on other subjects, who in this matter would not
touch him with a pair of tongs.
