The crisis is propitious, and Texas sir ut<!

lining an txiraci ol a letter from the “Spy in
W ashington.” in relation to lit* probable pas
sage ol a Bankrupt Law at the present ses
sion ol Congress. It appeared in the Nr vv
Y’oik Courier and Enquirer of the Ifiili tnst.
It is ail important at the present moment that
the friends and advocates of a bankiupt law
should be unceasing and untiring in their ef
forts. The present session ol Congress will
he a short one, and il is ol the utmost conse
quence that our federal law makers should
seethe vital necceesity of taking immediate ac
tion on the bill, or another year may elapse be
fore <my reliel is found for the tnousands of
sufi’eiing, uufoilunate and honest debtors in
their country; —
That a great necessity exists for the imme
diate passage of a bankrupt hnv, is now ad
mil ted by all men of intelligence, as well a*
by the practical men of m r country. YY I e
I tlier it shall tie a permanent law, or for a lim
ited period, i> of In lie consequence, because,
if its results are beneficial to the community, a
future Congress will obey the wishes of die
people.
s ins is one ol those measures wh ch does
not recommend itself io party, because it can
i not be exclusive in its operation, In its ef
fect it must pervade every class of society,
and its benefits will be universal.
It is obvious that the power to ptrss sue!) a
law was conferred upon the general govern
ment with a view to the extension and pro
tection oi the trading and commercial intere; t
of the Whole country, that the people should
not he confined in their trade and intercourse,
by the operation of die state laws, to the
boundaries of the states. The object was
national, and as such it was protected.
The power being thus conferred, and its
object unequivocal, ils exercise by Coi gn ss
is to be regarded as a duty imposed by li e
constitution. It is not less so ilian any oil er
power conferred by that ins'.rnmt nt.
The nirmbi is of Congress from • very part
of the Union appear impressed with a just
-eu.-e of their duty on this subject, arid to
grant that reiitrl which is demanded hv the
ttonest and lair debtor and creditor. Evr ry
member knows of hundreds of persons within
his district, who are entitled to this act of jus*
nee from the national egislafure, and the v
generally feel that such a law ought to he
enacted during the present session. It is un
feistoodthat the Jnd ciarv Committee in he
House will he nearly unanimous in favor ot
the h i, and it may he exp< cled that one will

GOV. M DONALD’S MESSAGES.
YN e had not tune lasi week to notice Got;
M Donald’s communications to our Legisla
ture relative to affording through its aid, some
lelaT to the people; and also to one on the
subject ol the controversy between the Stales
ol Virginia and New Y’oik. The subjects
discussed in them, however, are of too much
importance to pass without engaging the se
rious attention of the citizens of this State
and the South.
In ordinary cases We are opposed to the in
terference of the Legislature with the busi
ness pursuits oi the people —trade should reg
ulate itself, and individuals sic uid rely for
prosperity upon heir own prudence, industry
md sagacity* But there may he lin es when
S'He Goveunienis may very properly inter
lere to prtilect their citizens against pecuniary
“11111. and we dunk the present is one of those
inn's. Our cotton emp, our greai resource
| in the pm chase, as web of necessaries as lux
uries, and di the payment of debts, has almost
completely hided, and this, under Circumstan
cesnl peculiar hardship. While this crop lias
been cut short i.n tins State, the Carolinas;
and portions oi Alabama, in the States fur
ther South and West, and in ’Texas, a fair
crop Inis been made. This, aided to the
stock of last year’s cotton yet on band, will
prevent prices rising in the same ratio as the
supply Irom Georgia lias diminished; hence
the aggregate receipts from the Crop of thiti
Slate, niav be less than half what has been
usually realized. Add this to the embarrass
ments already existing, and the prospect of a
largo portion ol our cililens appeals gloomy
indeed.
In this state of things Gov. McDonald felt
il his dniv to communicate the tacts to the
L -gisaturu and to ask their interposition to
prevent ihe distress which seemed impending,
fha* body r illed upon him for relief, which
he promptly furnished, su -gosling the only
constitutional and practicable mode which
could be adopted. And what was the result?
Why, the Harrison reforme, s. the men who
last summer and fall were ihe exclusive friends
of ihe poor, and who were so loud in their
.professions of what their parly would do id
improve the times, should Harrison be elect
ed and they get into power—these men were
found turn ng up.their pretty aristocratic nos
es at the Governor’s humane recommenda
tion; and. careless*of what might befal their
pie bean Constituents, voted to lay the subject
on ihe table—and do nothing at all Thi4
have thev tested the sincerity of their profes
sions and shown what that party has ever
manifested—a want of sympathy f< >r the poor.
A severe retribution await* them at the hands
of a deceived and injured people.

It is purely by accident that the insertion
of the following letler in our columns has been
delayed for so many days beyond its date, and
we sincerely regret that there has been any
ground given to the writer for asking itß pub
lication here. \Y edo not mean to be drawn
into controversy on the subject of his specu
lative notions, contenting ourselves, as we do,
j with protesting against the self-righteousness
of the exclusive claim which he sets up to
“genuine Democratic principles.”
To the Editors of the Rational Intelligencer:
Philadelphia, Dec. 14, 1840.
Gentien en: My attention Ins recently
been caiied to the following paragraph, which
] understand appeared in your paper of the
iOsh ultimo, viz:
“ i hos. h rle, the Abolition candidate for
vice President, voted the Van Buren Presi
dential ticket in Pfc-jrdelphia. So says tie
correspondent cl the Baltimore American.”
‘1 he above statement of the American is
tmSpunded in fact, as is known to Mr. Joshua
T. Jeanes, merchant of this place, who hap
pened to be at the polls when I voted. Having
accep.ed the nomination of the small but
faithful band who resolved to sustain genuine
Democratic principles, and who, with myself,
believed the support of slavery to be utterly
inconsistent wi h tliese principles, I should
have deemed it highly dishonorable to pursue
t;.e course thus wrongfully attributed to me.
Moreover, n tw;th-landing mv respect for the
personal and political character of Mr. Van
Buren, I Itad, some months before my nomi
nator, formed and avowed an intention of
withholding from him my vote, by reason of
his course m relation to slavery—a determi
nation from v, h.ch I never for a moment de
parted, nor did I ever intimate an infent.on to
depart from it.
I respectfully request you to publish this
.letter,and 1 des re all e Tors who have given
currency to the above n.e., boned statement to
copy this c orrection.
Verv respectfully, yours, frc.
