this bill. Mr. Riv. s’substitute Was Legaiavedby
a decided vote ; after which Mr. Uythbert moved
to strike out of th; bill tiie vghole of Mt 1 . Caliionii’,
hard money amendment. Titis motion changes
the question altogether. There are thousands up
on thousands who will sustain the measure if this
feature of t lie bill is dropped, who will go as reso
lutely against ii if it remains. On tie til ill Mr.
Cutlihcrt’s ameudniont was carried—aves 31, 11.1,1
21.
Ayes.—Messrs. Bayard, Buehannan, Clay of
Kentucky, Clayton, Grilteuden. Cuihbert, Davis,

Lumpkin, Lyon, Moulton, Niles, Norvcli, Pierce,
lloane. Smith, of Conn. Strange, Trotter, Wait

Mr. Tipton then oil’ered to fill trie [dace of th“
23d section (which had been just struck out) with
a clause, making it the duty of tlia Treasury De
partment to make ks collections in gold or stiver,
Treasury notes, or notes of Banks which arepiid
on demand in gold ami silver—negatived : ayes 22,
nays 30.
Mr. \\ cosier th"’! proposed io fill np the vacau
ev by inserting a clau prohibiting the Secret n v
ot trie Treasury from making any distinction be
tween the dilfcrent branches of r venue a.s to the
funds or medium of payment iu which debt* and
dues accruing to government shall be paid or dis
charged.
Mr. Webster .said truly, that tii-rc cv.ild be
f mud few men who would ilcf-nd tint o.lio; ;f. 1-
ture of the specie circular—the makin; n
tion between ti:e debtors of the Govern;!; ■ t.
Mr. Calhoun opposed this amendment on the
ground that it gave too much to the Secretary’s dis
cretion.
Benton endeavored to embarrass it by pinnin-;
to it another amendment, that the credit give 1 ; r
the payment of tiie public 1 mis should D. • f.i;-the
same period of time, and secured in the same inu.i
nor as in the ease of customs.
This obtained only eight votes in its favor : wlii! ■
forty-three Senators recorded their trim- a.>!
it.
Mr. Webster’s amendment was adm-ied; aves
37. nays 14.
The question was then-put on ordering the Bill
to b • engrossed and read a third time.
Mr. Calhoun instantly rose and* announced ids
determination to vote against tiie bill. No-.-.taut
the 23 < section was 'truck out, he said Mie opera
tion would be to rr.tor- the State Bank deposite
system. It would produce no separation, no di
vorce. The Government goes hack to the resolu
tion of I*l6, by which the collection of the reven
ue in Bank notes is legalized. To pas? thi, bill
without the section which had been struck out, lie
declared, would be one of the greatest lat'-es ever
played. It would be a thousauil times better, in
liis opinion, that it should be lost, than carried.
There is but one made he maintained of accom
plishing the divorce; and that i. feturuiu to
the exclusively hard money svstem.'
This speech occasioned a deep sensation. The
question was then taken: and rJ;e Dili u sordeied

We have many rumors of Cabinet iLumcs
which are soon to take place. Air. Butler, at 1 re

home, being tired of public Hie, pad being more
over, under the necessity of devoting his time to
his private aliairs. lie is to be succeeded in that
bi n and responsible office, by a man of little rep
utation, except asa mere party hack—Mr. Gilnin,
now Solicitor of the Treasury. Mr. Woodbury
is to leave the h reasnry Departinent. a oioi emeiit
c-f itself wli'ich will be acceptable to ail panics.
He will probably be succeeded by Amos Ivuidall,
tkepr t'i.t Postmaster General, vho will relin

persons have been named for tin Naiv ]> ■pait

From the yalional (Jazelte, J, r rch Id,
The Supreme Court of the Un.t.-d States ad
journed on Monday last, 12th inst. after a session
of 04 days, having decided 01 eases, and leaving
21 on the caleti lar. Considering ilia importance
pf the cases decided, the principles involved and
the inis., sis at stake, the session show-; an extra
ordinary aillo g’-t of judicial labor performed ; pro
bably the annals of the higher courts cannot pre
sent a more remarkable example of dofuatch than
this instance affords. The National iuLTdgenrei’
mys that next in importance to the decision as
serting the jurisdiction of the Court in a contro
versy between the-sovereign States of Rhode Is
land and Massachusetts, is that of the Post Mas
ter of the United States, plaintiff in error, vs.
•Stockton iV Stokes. According to the award (riv
en by the Solicitor of the Treasury, for which he
suffered an honorable ostracism, and confirmed by
both Houses ot Congress, the Circuit Court of the
Disirict had decided that forty-one-thousand dol
lars wore due these mail contractors. This deci
sion the Supreme Court have confirmed— the
Judges unanimously, as we infer from the Intelli
gencer, repudiating the monstrous doctrine con
tended for bv the Post Master General, under the
opinion of the Attorney General of the United
States, “that every Executive officer is beyond the
control of the Courts, being accountable to the
President only.” Asa corollary to this preposi
tion it was asserted that “the President can strike
| all judicial powers dead in the hands cf the Mar
j slinl (holding office at the will of the Executive)
by il smissing him on the spot !” This doctrine,
sanctioned by Air. Butler, to forbid or control the
execution of the laws, the Supreme Court have
unanimously decided, “is at variance with every
principle of our government.” The Intelligen
cer XUs —
THE UEOItOIA SIHSOR.
“Thisop-’tioa fixe; an! confirms our respect
far the character of the Supreme Court, and our
reverence tor the principle of judicial indepen
dence, intimately h'ended, in our mind, with
Those'of judicial integrity and consistency. It
will stand as a beacon to mark to demagogues in
office for nil future time, the point at which their

an equalization of the balances due from and to

which may enable all to restun a on an equal foot

THE NgKTJI EASTERN BOUNDARY.
M e have received the message of the Governor
of Maine, to the Legislature of that State, wlYcTf
accompanied a eouurumicaliou addressed to him
byj'ie Secretary ot State, 0:1 the subject of the
North Eastern Bouudary. The communication
from ‘lr. l orsyih, it appears, announces that the
discussions between the Federal Government am]
t v.) ol Great Britain “have arrived at a stage ip
which the President thinks it d*i<> to the State o’
Maine a?i*l necessary to the intelligent action M '
tue Gen -r;ti Government, to take the sense of that
S: 8 • in regard to the expediency of opcniim- vli

to lioct nittcn lavor i.i toe eyes of the Governor
who says, “it iidti .st proposition inti come to us

it, wat-ther v.e .shall take the lead in abandonin''

'1 be Uresident, however, intimates that if this
conventional line be not agreed to, “he will feel it
his duty to submit another proposition to the
Government ol Great Britain to refer the question
to a third party.’ —,Y- Y. ('ouricr.
ANOTHER BOUNDARY QUESTION.
V. e learn from the Richmond Enquirer that a
nother didicuity in relation to our boundary is
about to arise with Texas. “Text’s,” that paper
says, “has laid claim to Fayette and Aiiiler coun
ties in Arkansas, and e-tahli lied land offices there.
