a* o&zm The subjoined sketch of Wise’s speech will ojvc our readers some idea of the loose a id un pardonable manner in w ich business Jru< been conducted at Washington. It congress ei.eiitesf a determination to scrutinize t!te accounts of 'be treasury department, it would not surprise us to hear of its again accidently catching tire. The burning of books of the post office department saved a great deal of trouble. ••Mr. Wise examined very minutely the par ticulars of most of the defalcations wiiich have ! been published, lie made a thorough overhaul- , in® of all the prominent defalcations —forty in j number —giving names and dates and places and 1 sums of defalcation—the circumstances under which defal ations were made,---the knowledge the'secretarv of the treasury had ol these defal cations,-—his excuses, ii not connivances at them,-—all the published facts, and many others ; j u relation to them, were stated in a clear and lucid manner. Such a mass of con uption you have not before even dreampt of. The last case he examined was that of Mr. Swartwout. 31 r. Wise said it was not Mr. Swart- j wont’s money he proposed to look after. That I would be a useless ti.sk, and his sins were heavy I enough r.pou iiim already without farther expo- j sure. He wished to look after the scretary oi the treasury in connection with tins great lieul- 1 cation. Mr. SwartwouNleft thg country in August, and nothing is heard of his defalcation uou! Novem ber! The last return of Mr. Swart-vout is dated Match 28th, 1833, and tne tost public lett• -r in April, to which ati answer is given by the secreta ry of the treasury, dated April abu! Nothing ,s heard of the defalcation then from April to No vember, and the secretary tells os that he even lire! no sitspii ions of a defalcation until that time. What negligence ! Mr. Wise then stated another fact in reference to the claims set off by Mr. .Swartwout when he left his office. Swartwout kept in his hands, as it appears, when he left office, with a view of mee ting the claims against din—-the sum of 8201,- 000 as necessary to meet the demands against the customhouse. What, said Mr. Wise, arc the amount of these demands as put down irs the new report of this account furnished by the treasury department ! They were but the sum of 8?,700, 8201.007 kept ti meet the demand of less than 88 000 !—less iban 88.000, and so stated, as will appear upon examination. Will the secretary of the treasury explain this, if he can ? Other facts stated by Mr. Wise as gathered froth the special report of the secretary of the treasury referring to this subject, were in refer ae eto certain dates of lepers. The secretary of the treasury it appears, sent a letter on the ISih of A;'v'd, 18.:8, demanding a settlement’ with Swartwout, Mr. Swartwout received the letter by the course of mail, and on the ltitli of April,—- three days after date of the letter demanding a settlement, answered it, but did not meet the de mand ol tiie secretary asking a settlement, not only not then but at no time up to August, the time of his sailing for Europe, making the de manded settlement made in April, an I yet the se cretary of the treasury tells us Ir hoard nothing of and suspected nothing of the* scttl mient, until borne time in November! Demanding settle ment—-receiving tio!ie---a settlement put off for months,—-accounts unsettled,-- the party request ed to make the settlement off for Europe, and yetjsecretary of (lie treasury never suspecting any thing wrong until ’ate in .November.-- Who believes him innocent? said Mr. Wee. Mr. Wise then proved that Eiem.:i g. (>g : >, and Philips of the New York (hist.mi ii • -.e knew ot' the defalcation long before it was pro claimed.---Letters were then read by Flemming, an Auditor in the Custom House, showing in Match, ’.87 a discrepancy of 8300,000 i accounts, which discrepancy was pointed out to Pi i!a - v> I to Mr. Ogden, cashier and assist,mt , . r. Flemming stated also it was discovered tb" ‘ v treasury was minus in, in August the s-ir of 8 p; 000! Mark the date. August., JB3B when Mr .1 esse Hoyt was in office,-—and yet with these lh"ts known and ploclaimed in August, the secre tary of the treasury says he had not knowledge of the defalcations, —no suspicions even until some time in November! Who believes him, 1 ask again ? said Mr. Wise. And now, said Mr. W., I charge Mr. Hoyt with having a knowledge of tills defalcation. I charge him with being acquainted with the facts exposed by Flemming the Auditor in August, and communicated to Philips- —1 charge him with knowing of the deficiency of 8640,000, and above all, I charge tho secretary of the treasury with a gross neglect of duty, in not himself becoming acquainted with these facts if he did not know them. . Mr. Wise further communted upon Mr. FI •m --ming’s letter,---especially that part of it where he told Swartwout that upon examining tint bonds they were minus 8610.000. When Flemming tobi Swartwout of tlffi deficeincy, Swartwout ex pressed alarm, and said there must be some mis take, and begged that Flemming would examine the accounts. Flemming trade the examination, and while it was making, Swartwout made his es cape to Europe ! Where was the secretary of the treasury 'hen? Where was the faithfulness of Mr. Flemming—and of 31 r. Philips—a;id of Mr. Ogdcn---and of Mr. Hoyt ? Why did they not make the secretary of the treasury acquainted with the facts of which he says he was so ignorant. Another fact stated by Mr. Wise was, that from December 1838, Mr. Swartwout had sent no returns to the Secretary of the Treasury, with great negligence iti allowing them. Another fact upon which 3fr Wise dwelt with much force, was the arrangement of the let ters furnished in the report upon the defalcation, sent by the Secretary of the Treasury. Le ters, he said, were missing, and inserted without date, which was especially the case with an important memorandum. Let the committee of investiga tion remember these facts, said 3lr. Wise, and in quire into those, omissions and commissions and alterations; Mr. Wise then spoke of the naval officer of New York, and charged him with a neglect of duty in relation to this defalcation. The defalca tion, hp thought, could not have taken place had the naval officer done his duty, no more than it could have taken place if the Secretary of flic Treasury had done his duty. Mr. Wise proved the defalcation to the bottom, as far as :,e could do so— going to the Cashier’s and Assistant Cash ier department in New York, and to the Comp troller’s and Auditor’s Department of the Treas ury here. Tho examination was most searching and thorough. The consideration of the docu ments connected with Swartwont’s defalcation, alone occupied Mr. Wise nearly two hours. Tire- pertrrqfion of the speaker ivn strong, cT f ctive and eloquent. He spoke in view of tile lacts he had exposed, of (lie Secretary of the i reasury, and charged him with being ignorant, r 'omp.-ieni. wi.--.ed and dangerous. -So help me Hod..’ s lid 3ir. Wise, “if a majority of the H m e will “-Ip me do its duty, J will have the Secretary <d the Treasury impeached, and from his own report, lie is a faithless public servant. Hive tne ajuryot twelve honest men and in any place in the country, without a single witness, in my district, or in yours, Mr. Speaker, l will con vict him by lus own testimony. .Mr. Wise closed by saying in reference to him sclt. that the part he had acted in ferreting out tiie wrongs of the departments, had placed him iu a novel position, in self defence, he had been compelled tc go armed for three years past. He had been compelled, he regretted to state, to ®o to and from the capital armed with pistols in his belt, llis life had been literally in Ins hands ever since he had oommenc .1 'uis long, arduous and almost thankless task ol exposing the iniquities of the times.” HOUSE OF kef nkS t vnvES. \V> Hi:-; r■ >.%, Jam 14.

That the agitation of the subject of siavery in the non-slaVeiioldine States, is, in tho opinion of the General Assembly, attended with no rood ; that the amelioration of slaves is not envtruiced ; and that it is a violation of the faith -which ought ever to exist among States in the same confederacy. "•Resolved, That the schemes of the Abolition ist j, lor the pretended happiness of the slaves, are, in, the opinion of this General Assembly, wild, delusive and fanatical; and have a direct tenden cy to destroy the harmony of the Union, to rivet the chain of the slavts, and to destroy the per petuity of our free institutions. “ Resolved, That all attempts to abolish slavery in the States of this Union, or to prohibit the re moval of slaves from State to State, or to discrim inate between the institutions of one portion of this countiy and another, with the views afore said, are, in the opinion of this General Assembly, In “violation of the Constitution of the United States, and destructive of the fundamental prin ciples on which rests these States.” “Resolved, That in the opinion of this General Assembly, it is unwise, impolitic and expedient, • tf> repeal any law in force, imposing disabilities ir on : fk and mulatto persons, thus placing them upon an equality with the whites, so far as 1 the Legislature can do, and indirectly inviting the black population of other States to emigrate to this State, to the manifest injury of the public in terest. “Resolved, That the Governor be request-ed to forward copies of these resolutions to tiie Presi dent and Vice President of the United States, to each of our Senators and Representatives in Con gress, ami to the Executive of every State in the : Confederacy.

This article begins to claim the attention Gt' the farmers iu this State, and from present appearan ces we are led to believe that the time is not far distant when an important addition will be made to the number and value of the products of Amer ican industry, by adding Silk to the list of our staples. The Morus Muiticanlus, or Chinese Mul berry, begins to be iu some demand in this sec tion ot the country, and there is no doubt out that the demand for it will increase. We have been credibly informed that a gentleman iu Harris county has realized a handsome sum iu the sale of this article, and a gentleman residing in this place, who had more foresight tbauthe rest of us, has been ottered five dollars a piece for trees of a year’s growl h, and refused to take it, so that what appeared to many a mere freak, is likely to turn out a profitable business. M here is, at this time a gentleman among us seeking a location for a nursery, and iuteuds, as ive understand, to plant nurseries iu different parts of the State, that he may ascertain, by actual ex periment, which will be the most kind to growing of the tree and raising the worms, and will then concentrate his business at the place most con genial. We wish him great success in the under taking and hope that he will realize his largest expectations. FREE BANKING. We are informed that Commissioners have been appointed by the Comptroller and Commis sioners, tor the county of Sumter, to assess the property which the citizens of that county may desire to invest in the business of Banking under : *he latr, law. : Lis looks something like being in earnest, and I ; rum the known character of the citizens of Sum ; ter, we are quite sure there is not se much | “smoke without some fire.” \Ye understand it is ! thedesireof the citizens of that county to unite 1 with our citizens in this great business, and we trust they will be promptly met and the right hand of fellowship extended to them in this underta king, lor, with the wealth ot Stewart and Sumter I combined, we are quite sure an institution could he formed which would afford facilities and ad vantages that in their train would bring ease and comfort to a liarra .-sed aud distressed community and one also, which might defy the combined pow ers of every local bank in the State. We are of the opinion, however, that if this couuty and Sum ter should unite in jhis business, others would also come in, and thus, from the counties adjoin ing, a Bank could be formed, the credit of which in a short tune, might beeome as extensive as that of any institution in the State or elsewhere. We would then, respectfully suggest that our citizens call anotiier meeting immediately, and appoint a committee to wait on the citizens of Svtnter and learn their views and intentions upon this subject and let that committee .report at the general meeting at this place on the 21st inst And upon this occasion we would urge immediate action —“procrastination is the thief o ‘'time," — and if this opportunity is suffered to pass away unimproved, such an one may never again be pre" »cntcd. Then, let those whose business it is to act commence the work now, and let nothing hin der an immedia'e conference with our neighbors of Sumter. THE INVESTIGATION. The Committee appointed by the House o ( Representatives to investigate the defalcations of tiie late Collector of she port of New York, and others has at last, been filled. The Administra- I tion members, to a man, be'gged to be excused I from the unpleasant task, and had the House lis tened to the many frivdous excuses made, not an Administration man would have remained on the Committee. But as fearful as it is, some of them have it to <fo. There is no kind of doubt but the friends of the Administration, at least a majority of them, inten ded to throw the entire responsibility on the op position; that they might have it in their power to neutralize the influence which the investigation may make upon tiie country, by showing it off as a one sided affair. But there has been found honesty enough in the House to hold the Administration to its re sponsibility, and if there be sufficient time left for the Committee to get through their investigation, we may expect an appalling exhibit. The reason why we think so is this : The frieuds of the Ad ministration were so extremely reluctant to yield io the House the exercise of its privilege in elec ting the Committee, and afterwards manifesting such uncommon horror to go into the investiga tion. Enough had been said aud broadly insinua ted of those holding the highest places in the Government, to make their frieuds court an inves tigation. If the insinuations aud sayings are false, it is due to the character of our Government that it should be made so appear. It is a misfortune to be weak, hut it is icickeJ io be corrupt; the former may plead its apology, but latter admits of noue. For ourselves, we have no faith in the ability of the Government, aud we ate sorry to say that a long traiu of concurring circumstances, make us doubt its honor and ho nesty. \Ve hope, however, for the sake of our common country, that the exposition will not prove as dark as oar fears predict. Below may be seen the names of the gentle men piaced-sm the Committee. SELECT COMMITTEE ON DEFALCA TIONS. We learn that the Select Connnitee appointed by the House of Representatives to investigate the defalcations of the late Collector of the port of New Y'ork and other officers held a meeting yesterday aud elected Mr. Harlan, ol Kentucky. Chairman and Philp R. Fendall, Esq. of this ci ty, Clerk. We have also understood that the Committee have determined to commence their investiga tions in the city of New Y'ork, and will leave hero this evening for that city. The Committee are composed of the following gentlemen: Messrs. Harlan, Curtis, Wise, Dawson Smith, Hopkins, Owens, Foster, and Wagoner. hit. The Superior Court of this county still remains in session, having entered upon its 4th week ! On Fridiy, the trial of Jshn Chapman, for Mur der, took place, and was found Guilty.

Wo also learn, that a nonu by the name of Green Hatcher, was found dead in that county, on the Ist inst. It was supposed that lie came to his death by his ox cart accidently running over him. We are also informed, that an infant was found dead in that county, about a mouth ago. It was carried in the yard of one of the citizens by the hogs, who had nearly eat off one of its arms aud one of its legs. It had apparently been dead but a very short time. No discovery lias been made how the child came to its death, or whose i' was. ib. FREE BANKING. Several reasons have operated to suspend for a time, the institution of Free Banks. The no velty of the scheme may well cause the more cautious to forbear till experience has afforded evidence of tlio safety of such institutions. It is evident that talents will be necessary in the man agement; and it is equally clear, that great stieugih should be embodied in such institutions. The combinations should be large to insure success. They can hardly be too large. They have a Blighty power to contend with—the existing char tered banks. No one hundred thousand dollar institution, should venture on the field of its cred it for a single day. The tender lamb would liens safe amongst a pack of famished wolves. More extensive combinations should be formed and the best talents of the country put at the helm of affairs. This is all important. A failure in first attempts, throws back on the people wilh terrible recoil, the old and esploded three for one sys tem. AVe have been requested to offer a few sug gestions to those wishing to enter into this new system as to the manner of proceeding. Ist. Call together such citizens as choose to unite in the project.
