Mr. Calhoun e*llcd him out on certain points in finance, Ind especially on hia scheme of a tuft National Bank. Mr. Clay promised a reply; I a nd be has been to Philadelphia and New York I since, where doubtless he has obtained the plan I of the Bank to be proposed. An episode of high I interest may, therefore, be expected between I these gentlemen—an episode in which the frothy I declamation of Mr. Clay will be to Mr. Cal- I houn's intellect what a green gourd is to a ■ Turkish sabre. The position of Mr. Webster will also be one I of some interest. He cannot sit quiet in such a I contest; and he cannot open his mouth in it I without committing the most pitiable contradic- I lions and self-abasements. CONGRESS—CHEROKEE INDIANS. In copying (rom the Globe a sketch of the de- I hale in the Senate and House of Representatives, I May 22, on the message of the President in rela ■ lion to the removal of the Cherokee Indians to the I West, we are enabled to give only the remarks of I our own members, and those of a few other tnetn ■ hers who took part in the debntc, SENA TE. Mr. LUMPKIN stood on rather different I grounds in relation to this subject from most per- I sons. From lime to time lie had been conferred I with in bis official station by the Executive of ■ the country. He had communed with the pre- I sent and late President in relation to this affair. ■ He had never entertained hut one opinion, and was to execute with fidelity the late treaty. L. said he was aware that many of the In- were opposed to it, and he thought them Hfionest in their views. The Executive wasdis. to treat them with kindness and humani- Hty; and he was persuaded that the most liberal were indulged towards these unfortu* ■ale people. The Government wished some* done to soothe them, and allay tiicir exci- feelings. Mr. E. would say to them firmly, Hut imperatively, "the treaty must he executed!" I It might be due to the Secretary of War, said ■r. L., to state, that he [ Mr. E.J had U*«*n con- in relation to this matter, from which con. lie presumed, ibis document might resulted. He told the Secretary of War he would be as ready as any man. and would as far in acts of kindness and humanity to unfortunate people. The communications He had made to tlie War Department, ho pro* would he found on file there, all hough Buy were addressed as a private letter. If any could be made hy giving them additional compensation, no one could be: willing than himself to effect inch a men. but it was necessary they should bo re- and that at. once. Mr. E. alluded to the ofthc Surveyor General of his State, and a Tier, Ins lerryman; all who h murders attributed to the Indians, and said, as far as Slate was concerned, there would be no coin. Mi. E. contended that the counte* these Indians had received here iiad been cause of much of this excitement . Evil had and more would still be, brought on the people by Ross and bis immediule as tales. So far as it was sought to delay or the fulfilment ofthc treaty, the document have no more effect than the paper he held hand. The decree had gone forth, and must go. CUTHBEUT confessed tliat he had been surprised at tiie tenor of the commuuioa- just read, and one which he had not (he bl reason tor anticipating'. No informa. |H on the subject hud been a (lorded him by H Department of War, or by any portion of the branch of the Government. Il sur- him greatly (o find that there was any of changing a treaty solemnly ratified, on eve of its fulfilment; and lie was (ho surprised at the idea of consulting tin* intorcsled, when the very act itself of them was to change the treaty. To. was the day appointed for executing il, it was proposed to consult the Stale of ris or seven hundred miles off, for the of changing a treaty which was to go effect to.morrow.

For I i Georgia had passively yielded and bus. •e operation of her laws, under the full t this treaty would he faithfully carried f.

Mr. CUTHBERTsaid if there bad been any fair attempt on the part of Mr. Ross to arrange the difficulties, he bad no doubt they would long since have been arranged; but instead of that, Ibis man had remained here creating prejudice and excitement, for his own selfish and ambiti ous purposes. If he had gone home to his pco pie, while the fate ot his nation was on the bal ancc, ami from thence have made hi. appeal., there might have been less reason to impugn his motives. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. OWENS called for the reading of the accompanying documents which being done, Mr. BELL moved the reference of the whole to a Committee on the Union, and that they be printed. On motion of Mr. CAMBRELENG, the House passed to the orders of the day. After so.no conversation hot weed Mr. EVE. RETT and Mr. CAMBRELENG, the latter of whom slating that the above papers involved a new question. Mr. GLASCOCK moved a vote of rcconside. ration, so as to refer them to the Committee on Indian Affairs, and gave his reasons therefor. Mr. HAYNES was in favor ofthc latter re fcrencc. Mr. EVERETT advocated a reference to the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. HOWARD preferred the original refer ence to the C ommittee on the Union, inasmuch j as the subject was already before that body, on the amendments to the bill to prevent and sup press Indian hostilities. Mr. HOLSEY a< Ivocated the reference to the Indian Committee, for he could not consent to embarrass the above bill by bringing on a pro tracted discussion i.pon the validity of the Cher okce treaty. Mr. H. apprehended hostilities, and alluded to a murder that had already taken place. Mr. REED insisted that the reference already made was the proper one, and he moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Mr. OWENS expressed a hope that the gen tleman would not press that motion. Mr. HOLSEY asked for the yeas and nays, but they were not ordered, and the motion was rejected—aves 65, noes 68. Mr. HELL knew nothing to he gained by the reference ofthc subject to the Committee on In dian Affairs, for there was not the slightest ground to believe that that committee would bring in any proposition. They would do noth ing, but say “hands off*.” He was sorry the murder had been alluded to, lor there were no lads to show that it evinced a determination on the part ofthc Indians to commence hostilities. As to voting money, Mr. 11. was willing to vole all that was now and would ho nee- ssary, even to-day if it was thought expedient; but it would be useless to refer it to the Committee on ludi. an Affairs, as the Committee of the Whole on the slate ot the Union must eventually act upon it. Mr. CAMBRELENG adverted to flic im portaucc ot the President’s communication, i which contained several distinct propositions, all of which came within the province of the standing Committee on Indian Affairs to inquire into, and gave other reasons for giving the sub ject that direction. Mr. CUSHING expressed himself willing to yield the floor on the Northwest boundary ques tion to goon with the Indian hostility hill. The motion to reconsider was then agreed to —ayes 73, noes 63. The question then again recurring on the commitment to the Committee of the Whole on the stale of the Union, it was decided in tlieneg alive, by tellers—ayes 7*, ones 81. On sending it to the Committee on Indian Affairs, Mr. EVERETT moved to add the following instructions: “Ami that said committee have power to send tor persons and papers.** Mr. DAWSON assured all parties that if they expected lo make any thing politically out of this question they were very imieli mistaken. Where could he (lie necessity, or what good could result out of sending for persons ami pa peis to investigate the validity of a treaty long since ratified and confirmed? What! were they to suffer John Ross lo arrest and change the whole action of this Government? Mr. D. had labored day and night lo bring this man to a rea sonable proposit ion, hut he had no sooner suc ceeded than io an hour afterwards he withdrew, or changed his opinion. Mr. I), said the only proper course for the House lo pursue was lo disobey and disregard the President’s recommendations, which were in effect lo declare war against the people of Georgia. He, therefore, moved lo lay the whole subject on the table, hut withdrew that motion at (lie request of Mr. WISE, who hoped this communication would he considered, and said he would pay the first compliment to the President he had ever paid in his life, for his propositions were a virtu al acknowledgment that the pretended treaty was no treaty, as Mr. W. had often before al leged. Hu rejoiced that the Executive ofthc United Stales had at Inst signified a wish to do justice to the Cherokecs. Mr. W. pursuant to his pledge lo Mr. Dawson, renewed that gentle man’s motion to lay the whole subject On the table, hut withdrew it by his assent. Mr. GLASCOCK addressed the House with earnestness, insisting on the obligation of the treaty of 1835, and the sacrednessof the vested rights of Georgia under it; the certainty that her citizens would lake possession of these lands, and the imminent danger of an Indian war. Should the Government attempt to overturn that treaty, Georgia would never he found wanting to herself,Tis she had once before proved. And he would say to the gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. Wise] that his bold threats about eastigat iitg his Stale into submission, hud no terrors for him or the people he in part represented. This was not the fust lime that such threats had been made against Georgia, growing out of the Indian treaties; hut she always took her stand, and as sumed her position under them, and was not to he forced from it. She ever remained firm, as she will now, amidst all the calumnies and foul slanders which have been eagerly circulated to her injury, and unawed by every attempt ofthosc who, under the sacred garb of religion and hu manity, seek to array against her public feeling and indignat ion. Sir, said Mr. G., she plants herself upon those rights secured and guarantied to her under the treaty of 1835—a treaty solemnly ratified, and having all the sanctions and requisites required by the Constitution and now the supreme law of the land; and such rights, thus secured, gentle men of all parties might rest assured Georgia at least would peril her all to maintain and defend. Independent of this, said Mr. G., a large portion of his constituents had rights vested in them un der this treaty, and by special enactments of their own Legislature—rights lo the possession and occupancy of their lands; and they, too, stand ready lo resist, “even unto death,” all encroach, incuts upon them, coming from what quarter they may. And he could assure the gentleman from Virginia, that if such contests should ever be made nec ssary, however unequal and un pleasant, they would never falter. They had the firmness and courage, on the one hand, lo maintain their own rights under the treaty; and, on the Ollier, the m agnanimity lo protect and defend the Indians in theirs. Sir, they stand upon the treaty; and all they ask at the hands of the Government is a speedy enforcement of its provisions. They now ask it through their representatives, and they have a right lo ex peel it. [We hope to furnish Mr. G.’s remarks at length in a few days, as well as those ol other gentlemen.— Globe.] Mr. ATHERTON then rose and demanded the previous question, as it was apparent that a orotractcd discussion was growing out of this preliminary motion of reference. Mr. OWEN*S hoped the gentleman would withdraw that motion, and permit the question lo he taken on laying the subject on the table. After some conversation between the CHAIR and Messrs. WISE and McKAY, as lo the read ing ofthc papers again* Mr. OWENS moved to lay the subject on the table, and called for the yeas and nays, which, being ordered, were, yeas 39, nays 113, —so the motion lo lay on the table was decided in the negative. The question recurring on the demand for the previous question, Mr. MONTGOMERY said he hoped this sub jeet would be settled, temporarily at least, with out further excitement; and he appealed lo his friend from New Hampshire to withdraw his mo tion for the previous question, to enable Mr. M. to move its postponement for one week. Mr. ATHERTON not assenting to the re quest, the House passed between the tellers, and seconded the previous question—7B to 53; so the main mieslion was ordered, put, and agreed to. So the subject was referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs. IN SENATE . Wednesday, May 23, 1838. A message was received from the President of the United States, by Mr. Abraham Van Buren, his private secretary, as follows ; To the Senate of the United States: I herewith transmit to the Senate the copy of a letter addressed to me on the 38th ultimo, by the Governor of Maine, enclosing several re solves ofthc Legislature oft hat Stale, and claim ing reimbursement for the General Government of certain moneys paid lo Ebcnczcr S. Greely, John Baker, and others, in compensation for losses and sufferings experienced by them res pcctively, under circumstances mure fully ex plained in his Excellency's letter. In the absence of any authority on the part of the Executive lo satisfy these claims, they arc now submitted lo Congress for consideration; and I deem it proper, at the same time, with re ference to the observations contained in Govern, or Kent’s note, above mentioned, to coinniuni catc to the Senate copies of other papers con nected with the subject ot* the northeastern boun. dary of the United States, which, with the docu. incuts already made public, will show the actual stale of the negotiations with Great Britain on the general question. M. VAN BUREN. Washington, May 19, 1838. [ The following important papers are among those accompanying the message :J Department of State, ) Washington , April 27, IH3B. \ The undersigned. Secretary of State of the United States, has the honor, by the direction of the President, to communicate to Mr. Fox, her Britanie Majesty’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, the result of the appli cation of the General Government to the Stale of Maine, on the subject of the North-Eastern Boundary Line, and the resolution which the President lias formed upon a careful considera tion thereof. By the accompanying papers, re ceived from the Executive of Maine, Mr. Fox will perceive that Maine declines to give consent to the negocialion for a conventional boundary; is disinclined lo the reference of the points in dispute lo a new arbitration; hut yet is firmly persuaded tiiat the lino described in the treaty of 1783 can be found and traced whenever the Governments of the United States and Great Britain shall proceed to main* the leqnisitc in vestigations, vvilli a predisposition to effect that very desirable object. Confidently relying, as the President does, upon the assurances fre quently repeated by the British Government of the earnest desire lo reach that result, if it is practicable, he lias instructed (he undersigned to announce to Mr. Fox the willingness of this Government to enter into any arrangement with Great Britain for the establishment of a joint commission of survey and exploration upon the basis of the original American proposition, and the modifications offered by her Majesty’s Go vermnent. The Secretary of State is, therefore, author ized lo invite Mr. Fox to a conference upon the subject at as early a day as his convenience will permit; and the undersigned will he immediately furnished with a requisite full power, by the President, to conclude a convention embracing that object, if her Majesty’s Minister is duly ein powered to proceed to the negociation of it on tin; part of Great Britain. The undersigned avails himslf of (his occn sion to renew lo Mr. Fox the expression of his distinguished consideration. JOHN FORSYTH. Henry S. Fox, Esq., Ac. Ac. Ac. Washington, May 1, 1838.

S. FOX,. The Hon. John Forsyth, Ac. 'I he letter and accompanying documents ha ving been read, were, on motion of Mr. WEB STER, ordered to be printed. Extract of a letters ram the Washington correspon dent of the Charleston Mercury, dated May 23. On motion of Mr. Famhreleng, the House went into Committee* on the Bill making appropriations to prevent and suppress Indian hostilities, for the year 1838. This Bill looks both to the Florida nnd a Uhcro. kec war. The question was on Mr. Bell's motion lo amend Ly adding the following; Provided,That if the President shall ascertain that all dissatisfaction and further opposition on if e part of any portion of the Cherokee Indians io the Treaty of 1835, can be allayed or avoided by allow ing an additional compensation for lands ceded to the United Slates by said Treaty, and he is hereby authorized lo apply two millions of dollars of the sum Rppronriateu by this Act lo that object. A very long, and of course, pretty warm debate followed on this subject. The validity of the Treaty of New Echota, was the main object of discnsHon. The Georgia members contended that whatever fraud or bribery or corruption or hardships there was about it, i* was all attributable to iho Govern ment of the United Stales, Georgia having had nothing to do with making the Treaty, but having the rigTil lo the land occupied by the Indians, under stipulations entered into with Georgia by the Gov ernment. They said that Georgia, if iho United Slates refused lo carry the Treaty into effect, would he compelled to take the suineground w hich she had once before occupied in regard to (he Gov ernment of the Union They distinctly menaced “Nullification ns the rightful remedy.” Mr. Towns said, the proposed interference might very well have been made twelve months ago, hut it was now 100 lale. It would now only lead to bloodshed. Mr. Wise spoke, at great length, on iho subject, his chief object being to shew dial the Treaty of 1835 made at New Echota, was fraudulent; lhal it was made with less than one hundred of iho tribe; that the mass of the nation were unanimous ly nnd irreconcilably opposed lo it, because they did not make it; and that in the words of Mr. Brown, the Government Agent, “they would ne ver agree that a band of traitors should sell their country and determine the destinies ot ilieir peo ple.” lie commended the interposition of the Executive, and declared lhal it would now he found that the Georgians were Van Huron men in proportion to their interest in iho (Jherokco lands, and that Van Buren would lose thousands of voles there by this step, though ho ought not lo lose one. The Committee rose, nnd the House adjourned without inking any question. [From the N. Y. Tiniest May 26.

Mr. (witieu •' I Imvo noticed ever nine© the hanks suspended specie payments, that you have copied every thing into your paper which has been written for the purpose of showing that merchants had over traded—that banks bad issued more paper than they should have done—that all the trouble in (be coun try was owing to the mismanagement of the mer chants and banks, and that the planters and the la boring classes were the only sufferers. Von are not alone in this, however, for nil the papers of your party, and latterly all who lm\e espoused the cause of Mr. Calhoun, do the same. Now, Sir, ns I think that both the merchants and hanks suffer by the erroneous views of this subject, which have been circulated, allow me to give you whflt I be lieve to hen plain statement of the case. Rut in order that I may speak of “that which 1 do know,” I shall confine my remarks, at present, to the Southern and South-Western Slates And furth er, let me premise, that 1 am fully aware that there are rich planters all over the country, who are mo ney lenders, not money borrowers. My remarks, it is evident, cannot he intended for them, and are only applicable to those in moderate circumstances, who nre industrious, and seek to hotter their con dition by every means in their power. Wo see then that planters are indebted to mer chants, and merchants to banks, and hanks again to both, in the amount of their circulation. Now, Mr. Editor, let us trace how this indebtedness occurs. Let us take a single merchant, nnd examine the course of his business, nnd it will give ns a definite idea of others placed in like circumstances. Let us suppose n person who has acquired a knowledge of business, ami has a good acquaintance among the and country merchants—ho com mences, soy, rt grocery business, on a capital of S2O 000. lie invents his money in articles suitable to his business, in the (ii»T^* r ®nl markets where they can be bought the cheapest. U® then commences and disposes of the greater pm't **' H H *°ek, n small portion for cash, hut the greati.** 1 V nrt on n credit to his acquaintances, the country im..’^ mn,s nnd planters, lie must then buy again, to rC|?‘ cn “ ish his stock. The cash ho has received will p ny for flour, salt, Ac., which ran only ho bought ad vantageously for cash- West India produce, and a great many other articles, can only he bought from importers, nt fair rates, on short time ; sny, sixty days, and four months; and iron, nnd 0 few other articles,nt six months. lie replenishes his stock on these terms, nnd sells them as he did the first. Now suppose these operations repented alternn. lively a few limes, and it is evident that the mer chant, (ns lie has credited the amount of his capi tal, and also goods which he has bought on a credit, and for which ho has to pay on a particular day,) must make collections from hii customers as punc tually as ho is roquired to make payments. Well, he sots about collecting in good earnest. He writes to those planters whose ncconnls nre of longest standing on his hooks, and reminds the country merchants that his claims on them nre past due. Some respond to Ids call by a remittance of the needful, either in full or in part payment of his ac counts agains* them. Others had n more pressing demand against them, or had bought some land that lay convenient—some negroes nt Sheriff's sale, Ac. Ac.—country merchants had not been able to collect as they expected—had produce on hand, but thought the present a hud time to sell it —had to pay some acceptances through hank, for goods bought at ilia north, Ac. Reing disappointed in making collections in lime, to the amount required, to meet his payments, lie is driven to the necessity of trying his credit in an other way, rather than press his customers too hard. Ry the aid of a friend, who indorses his note, he obtains a loan from bonk sufficient for his present wants. Ho continues business, however, soon finds that another loan is necessary, nnd an other, and another. It has passed into a maxim that no prudent merchant will trade beyond three times the amount of his capita). We will suppose our merchant adhered to this rule strictly; and that having approached these hounds, lie curtailed his business sofliciently to keep it within them. Now, Mr. Editor, it is qyident that all who sell goods to (he country, on a credit, whether dry goods, hats, shoes,clothing, drugs, hardware, Ac., are similarly situated, to the merchant described above. But there is another way through which capital finds its way to the country. I’lanters and mer chants, residing in the interior, have (lo ir agents in the markets where they send their produce for sale. These agents are denominated factors, or commis sion merchants. They receive produce ns it comes to market; sell it, and return the proceeds; or put it in store, for sale at a future period, ns instructed by their principals. If produce is received into store, it is customary to make a cash advance on it, if required, to the amount of one half or three fourths of its value. The greater pari of this mo ney is borrowed from the banks, and thus planters are enabled to pay a portion of their debts, nnd still hold their produce for n more favorable lime to dispose of it. Nor is this nil. If a planter wants money beyond the value of his present crop, it is no uncommon thing for him to draw on his factor, and got the drafts discounted; nnd thus anticipate I lie proceeds of his coining crop. This kind of business, however, has not horn done to any thing like the extent, in Into years, in the southern At lantic slates, that it was formerly. The great speculation in 11125 made the planters anxious to hold on ns long as possible to their crops, in the hope that there might ho another such rise. From 1827 to *3l,this system was carried to its greatest height, hut the low price of produce during this pe riod, caused a great many failures among tho fac tors, who had advanced more than the articles in hand would bring; or who had accepted with the expectation of receiving produce nt a future lime. Since 1831 advances have been made much more prudently, and to a much smaller extent; nnd to this fact, I attribute, in a great measure, the com parative case with which this section of country has passed through the late revulsion. The (iulf Stales had this lesson to Icnrn; nnd the late revulsion caught them at a lime when almost the whole capital, all that could he obtained on credit, had been thrown into the hands of this planting interest. Lands nnd negroes were bought and paid for, by drafts on factors ; ond it was cal culated that tho credit of the parties, together with the properly on which tho transaction was based, would enable them to renew these drafts, till the i products raised should enable the planter to pay the debt. It may bo said, however, that the mer chant is as much henefitted by this operation as the planter. Let us examine a single transaction. A planter who has a good plantation in Louisiana or Mississippi, and, say, 20 negroes, goes to New Orleans. Ho represents to his factor that he has some fine lands lying idle and unproductive for want of hands to work it. He also states that he has seen ten negroes that ho would like to buy.— I he factor accepts his draft at 12 month, nnd the money is raised on the credit of this paper. He buys the negroes, for which he pays, say, $15,000. He sets them to raising Cotton. They average 8 bales to the hand, of 400 lbs each, worth 15 cents per lb., or 94800. The factor gets 24 per cent, for accepting the draft of $15,000, or $375. The merchant uses capital in several ways. If he buy mi article on speculation, to hold it for a rise in price; or a house and lot—a ship, or any other article, out of the regular line of his business , and borrow money to pay for it, he uses capital.— 1 he merchants, however, generally, borrow from hunks, and, therefore, as (hey own a very large portion of all the hunk stock, it is like borrowing from themselves. Manufacturers nnd tradesmen ore generally borrowers of capital, but their num ber is so small, in the southern country, 1 shall pass them Now, sir, having shown who uses capital, let us next consider tho nature of this capital and see of what it consists. All merchandize furnished on a credit, is so much actual capital; because ii is the product of labor, and because it must have been paid for in gold or silver, or an equivalent in the shape of hills of exchange, founded on sales of pro duce in other markets. But, after the hanks had used all their capital in affording facilities to mer chants to enable them to pay for goods, a,c., they, in their turn, had to resort to a use of credit. When a merchant, therefore, who buys produce from planters, sells a hill of exchange on some foreign place, to a hank, against the proceeds of his pre duee, the bank pays him fur his bill of exchange in its own notes, or promises to pay on demand.— 1 hese hank hills the merchant pays to the planter for his produce. The planter carries them home ond pays a debt to his neighbor with them. He uses them to pay for something he has purchased, and so they pass from hand to hand, till they are paid to a merchant who owes a debt to a hank, or a debt abroad, to pay which he lias to obtain ex change from a hank; and the hank is enabled to furnish this exchange, because it had previously bought it from another merchant as staled above. This is what is termed circulation. And here, sir, let us examine what 1 conceive to he a fallacy, although it has obtained very general credence. I allude to the assertion, that the bonks ini ike moon/, and the borrowers (especially tho plant ers,) lose it by this mode of doing business; inas much as tho hank receives interest on its promises to pay, while all individuals, w ho owe, have to pay interest on their promises to pay. Now, sir, it is evident to me, that the hank may gain, without the individual losing any thing: for if the bank hills arc convertible into, or at par, with specie, they will pay as much of his debt, or buy as much commo dities, as the specie itself. Rut planters are hene fitled in another way; for if they obtain u loan of capital, either in the form of goods or as an advance on produce, at 8 per cent., they get the use of it cheaper than they could do otherwise. If money wore so plenty in the country, that a person could always borrow on good security, at legal interest, then there would he no benefit to a plainer in ob taining loans in town, either in the shape of goods or advances. We know however, that, notwith standing the immense sums which are obtained in this way, money cun ho lent at from Ifi to 25 per cent, in tho country. Other views might he taken of this subject; hut enough has been said to shcw,f/<(i/ planters are more benefited by the use. of borrowed capital , and use more of it, than any other class , and should, therefore, he more anxious to sustain sound hanking institutions, than any others; as it is by their use they arc en abled to obtain a large amount of these loans.— Ranks are benefit ted by the amount ofinterest they receive on their circulation, after deducting interest on specie, *uu\ specie funds, kcptfoi the purpose of redeeming their hills instead of specie; and also the salary of officers, and other expenses. Rut the community do not lose this amount; for if you take the circulation of hanks out of the amount o‘‘ float ing capital, you make it scarcer, nnd of course, the uto pHt dearer. TYRO. [COMMUNICATED.] Messrs. Kditors; —Jl is now about twelve months since our citizens played a ridiculous farce, by calling a town meeting for ike alleged purpose of recommending the banks to suspend specie pay ments, a course our hunks had already resolved on adopting, whether recommended or not. The reason then alleged for so doing, was, that the hanks north of us had already suspended, in conse quence of the panic then existing; the liL h rate of foreign exchange, ond their consequent inability to meet the demands against, them. No one denies that such a course was then advisable, hut since that time there has been a material change. We have, from necessity or voluntarily, been very economical; we have imported hut little, in compa rison with former seasons, and exported as much or more than we ever did before, and as a natural consequence, the balance of trade is now in our fa vor, ami foreign exchange, instead of being against us, as it usually has been, is now at a discount or tit least not exceeding par. The New York Ranks, more honest than most others, now that the causes of suspension no longer exist, have again resumed, nnd as those causes, and those only, were alleged ns a reason for our hanks suspending, what now prevents them from again resuming? There is no doubt but that they con resume, if they would.— This being the case, I would ask, if it is honest to decline doing so? Or, can it ho expected, that the people who create them, will sustain Institutions that nre able and will not meet tho just demands against them? No,—there is n feeling now growing up,—a loco Toco feeling, if you choose to call it, — that may call them to an account, when they may he ill-prepared to render it. Whol the creator form ed, ho cun destroy. TRADESMAN. [COMMUNICATED.] Messrs. Guie.u \ Thompson. Will some of your numerous correspondents ex plain to me, how the lale Rank Convention ot (’liarlesien, in its report, dared to assort, that “the exigencies of the community rather than the ina bility of lii© hanks” induced the suspension of spe cie payments? I had always thought the fact was the other way; and that the public meeting here, composed of Rank Presidents, Rank Officers, and Rank Stockholders, and other disinterest! d person*' was called to authorize Mich a measure on the part of the Ranks, and not to beg them to do so, in mercy tons poor devils of citizens, who have not the privilege of making and issuing earl loads of rags in the shape of “promises to pay.” They now pretend, that the community could not find enough of their rags to pay their notes in Rank, when the superabundance in the hands of the public was precisely what the Ranks dreaded, ami which would render them worthless but for the in dulgence asked. Why could I not pay my note in Rank I When it was put there, either by myself or others, it sent out into the community the same amount in rag money. Tim Ranks dare not refuse their own hills in payment. Why, then, could I not pay my note when due? Resides, if J sold my properly, it would bring me a great price In this de preciated currency, rendered so by the extravagant issues, making it certain that the hills could not ho redeemed by any thing intrinsically valuable. Al low me, therefore, to say, contrary to the doctrine of tho convention, that tho Ranks wore at the mercy of the community, and not the community at the mercy of the Rank, and so the Ranks will find it, if they arc not prudent. Indeed, such a pretence os that set up by tho Convention is nu insultlothe community, who have so generously borne all the real evils,and risked those in pros pect, to excuse what their monied, or rather money loss institutions had represented as indispensable to their solvent existence, and now turn round nnd most impudently assert in the face of all truth and decency, that they did it for our benefit! Indeed, Ranks nre becoming most wonderfully public spir ited and disinterested! Mr. Riddle’s Rank, for in stance, a Pluto Rank, has most kindly taken the commercial prosperity of this wltole Union under his protection, nobly disdaining to think for a mo ment of the paltry interests of a few insignificant stockholders! What a glorious country we have! The very Banks have changed their harpy natures in this republican climate, and watch and pray for t c salvationof the land! How profoundly grate ful wo should bo! But let the Legislature trust them no longer. 1 hey now think they will resume on the Ist Janu ary next. But it is easy to resolve to do so and that unanimously tou, and not do it at Inst. Perhaps this very unanimity was produced by the facility of disregarding such resolve, for goo,land sufficient reasons. Let the Legislature pin them to it or nail them, like their ha c paper, to the counter. Com pel them to respond to their promises—that at Charleston, as well ns certain others which they have been in the habit of disregarding. Public opinion and feeling arc ripe fur it. Legislators, do your duty. It might bo well for the public to be thinking of ngeneral Banking law, something like that of‘New York, as a chock upon the evils of Monopolies.

COTTON.—Our market lias been rather dull than otherwise for the last week. The latest ac counts l % <mi Liverpool have brightened a little the laces of our speculators, without however, leading them to enter the market with animation, being under the impression that no dependence con he placed on a permanent market in Europe, and that prices will fluctuate moro tlmn over. Tho dciniuiil in this market has been mostly confined to good qualities, which are scarce, while the common qualities are neglected and dull of sale. We have to report the sale of only 1335 hales, from ware houses, since our last review, ns follows : .*1 hales at 7,7 at 7?, 52 at H, Ifi nl H}, 20 at Hi, 1(18 at Hi, H 2 at 81, 250 at U, 57 nl Hi, 100 at 01, 107 at 91, 70 at Oi, M at 01, 50 at 01; 100 at 10, 2fi at 10i, and 57 at 10|. We quote extreme prices at 7 to 101 cents. [Fromlhe N. Y. Courier *V Kriffnircr.] LATER FROM ENGLAND. By the ship Carroll of Carrollton, Capt.

The sale of the last three days are about 15,000 hales at some advance in prices, particularly in the middling qualities, but barely id generally. We consider the business to have been at LI. a id. above the lowest point of the market eight or nine days since. There was ra ther more offering yesterday, and the demand was freely supplied. We have a fair moderate inquiry this morning. MANCHESTER, 25th April.—There was a de cided appearance of improvement in our market yesterday. The demand for yarns, and for most descriptions of printing cloths, was bolter than for some weeks past, and a trifling advance on pre vious rules was in some cases realized The gene ral opinion appeared to he, that prices have at length seen their lowest, and there was, conse quently, a much more healthy feeling than has pre vailed for some considerable time.

Colton. —The accounts from Liverpool, together with the general opinion that the crop will reach to about 1,800.000 hales have caused buyers to with draw from the market almost entirely, which the limited amount of sales will show, lower prices than those of last week have been accepted by about I cent, per pound for the small lots sold, hut we do not alt er our quotations. The large holders do not press their stock on the market, and do not seem willing to submit to any material reduction in price. The sales of the week amount to about 3,000 hales, JOOOof which were bought yesterday.
