Besides the pension bill xvas before the committee, and the gentleman [Mr. Black] xvas discussing Abolition.

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.

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 ever.” He, Air. L).
