, CONGRESS.
. In the Senate, on Monday last, much lime was
: occupied in discussing the constitutionality of
| a national bank, which arose on the presentation
by Mr. Calhoun of a copy of the proceedings of
tho democratic citizens of Cumberland county, Va. I
, The proceedings contain resolutions expressing j
' the unconstitulionality of a national bank, and the i
I policy of the repeal of a charter should one he J
granted by Congress at the present session.
1 ben the Senate took up the Fortification bill.
For the proceedings of the House, we copy the j
following extract from a letter of the correspondent ' ’
ofthe Charleston Mercury, dated August 2.
“In the House the Fiscal Hank bill was taken up ' 1
and Mr Sergeant devoted an hour in the attempt i 1
to establish its constitutionality. He was followed
by Mr M Clellan, who replied to his argument by
adducing a most imposing array of facts and opin
ions ofour prominent men since the establishment
of the Government, among them those ol John Ty- i
lor were not the least conspicuous. Mr. Saun
ders also made an able speech against the bill and
was followed by Mr. Stuprl, on the other side [
Mr. Kennedy,a Democratic mcm er from Indiana, ;
closed the day’s debate, with a very forcible nrgn
nient in opposition to the bill, and pledged himself
for the people of the West that the y would never •
rest, should tho Rank be established, until it was i
overthrown. A resolution was submitted, which I
will probably pass to morrow, that the Rank bill |
should be taken out of Committee on Friday next,
and then the House adjourned.” j
THE CENTRAL BANK DEBT.
The following intelligence, from the Standard of !
Union of yesterday, confirms the statements we
published in our last paper from the New York
Journal of Commerce, and Express.
“We have the pleasure to announce, that the debt
contracted by the Central Rank, under Governor
(Timer’s administration, with the Rhconix Rank of
New York, bus been fully paid oflf and discharged. (
, and that the bonds given for Hint Debt, and the rou- I
' pons for interest upon Slate Ronds which were i
j sold to raise funds for tho Western and Atlantic 1
Rail Road, have been taken up by the President of i
•lie Central Hunk, who returned a day or two i
since from New York, and are safely deposited in ■
the Rank.”
RESUMPTION.
“AN o copy the following information from tho N.
: V. Journal of Commerce of July 81.
I A gentleman from Alabama informs us- that there [
the people are coming very generally to repudiate
all bank notes which ere not payable in specie on
demand. They have suffered by the depreciation *
of bank notes and by the failure of one bank after !
another; and have been wronged in so many ways
by the banks, that they aro becoming determined in 1
ibeir resistance to the farther continuance of the 1
i fraudulent system. Gold and silver are coming a- (
gain into circulation, tor ri’o people will pan with 1
ihur properly for nothing else. A few private banks j
|»a> it g specie are getting into operation, which fur
nish a sound paper currency; but they arc not yet !
much known From Georgia, and from Michigan,
w e have published the proceedings of public meet- !
incs rej udiating the paper of suspended banks.— I
From throe States, therefore, we have learned that 1 *
the principles of liberty, not regulation, are purify- ' *
iugilie currency Another year of the iininterrup- ! !
led operation of these principles would probably re
store soundness to the currency in most of the States; !
and when so restored, the currency would remain ,
sound. The laws of nature rare evils, but logislu- i *
live quackery plasters them over, so that the first !
lime the patient takes cold, they break out again.
If the people could sec the operations of nature (or (
another year, the doctors would be compelled to 1
throw mvi.y ibeir pills, and allow tlio patients to !
gel well.” |

1
OCT A correspondent of the Savannah Georgian 1
speaks es follows of the eulogy of the late Dr. Wail- \
del, ns delivered hy Judge Eongstrcet, ot the late
Commencement of Franklin College. •
Judge EongMreel then arose upon the stage, and 1
* in very modest ami deprecating sentences, express
jed hit inhcbilily to do justice to ids theme. He
then, throwing himself hack into the past, rent aside
for a time its misty veil, and portrayed,in language ■ •
as beautiful n« graphic, the early prospects and in- |
fancy of the University. lie held up, in vivid pic- I 1
lure, the little hamlet of huts eroded by the sin- I '
dents—the shirts and pastimes when study was ‘
over, the rural walks, winding along the bi auiifu
and sequestered stream and the wild magnificence '
of surrounding scones. Tearing himself away from ;
this beautiful exordium, which he'd in fixed and '
breathless attention bis large audience, be gave a j
cursive ami succinct account of the eventful life of J
Rev. Dr NVnddel. Born in 1770, be entered school 1
amidst the stirring events of the revolution, and 1
found l.is progress in knowledge much retarded by '
the trouble of the country and the feebleness of Ins |
i own con dilution. But studies once commenced
with bin there was no receding, and amidst nil the ( 1
, difficulties, physical and natural, which gathered 1
and darkened rround him bo pressed on with such |
rapid strides, that at 11 years of ago he was recom
mended by bis precept ras fully qualified to boa |
tutor in the languages in Camden Academy With
clear and perspicuous pen be traced him toiling and , '
teaching, driven hither and thither by the vicissi- 1
Hides of war until bis mind was arrested by Hie sub
ject of religion while instructing at Bethany,ami then '
resolving on the clerical profession be immediately
started for Hampden Sydney College, entered the j
senior class and m eight months and sixteen days ,
graduated with honor to himself, ami credit to the
institution In 1799, lie was licensed to preach, and
beg in bis ministrations in South (Inrolina, where bo
married first the sister of John C. Calhoun, and afier
her decease, about a year subsequent to their union,
marncd a Miss l i l«asnnt.':, of the same Slate. The
'Academy which Dr Wnddel taught at Abbeville, S.
C , was one of the most popular and fl urishing in
the Southern Stales, and among bis pupils wore
men who have eminently distinguished themselves
in civil and profetsional life,Calhoun, Wardlaw, Mc-
Duffie, Lcgare. Feligru, and many other bright
names in Carolina were inducted by him into a
knowledge of the classics and sciences, and grateful
lv to this day remember bis instructions. On the
' decease of P.jv. Dr. Finley, in 1618, who d.ed a
martyr to the interest of the College, and the failure
of Dr. Roman to fulfil, after accepting his appoint
' meat, Dr Waddcl was unanimously elected to the
Presidency, and in DM9 be entered upon bis duties.
' Hitherto it had languished. Under his odministra
lion it exchanged its sickl y aspect for one of health
and vigour—pupil* .locked thither—citizens became
‘ interested in it—the Legislature extended to it its
J charity, and it has ever since steadily progressed in j
i reputation, means and students. The influence ,
which Dr. Wnddel exerted on the country through ,
his pupils, was forcibly and eloquently illustrated;
* one of them bad been Vice President of the United
’ States, two had been candidates for the Presidency, 1
several had been Governors of States, others, still (
1 Senators and Representatives in Congrcs, a few or
' namented the Army and Navy, and in every sta- ,
* I tion of honor, in every post of duty—in every eoun- :
1 cil ofthe nation there miqhtbe found some pupi sos ;
5 Wnddel still wearing the badge of disciplestiip.
The closing scene of the life of Woudol was
1 touched upon with most effective pathos. The
mute attention, the half parted lips, the solemn si- |
1 lence, the trembling tear drop on many an eye lid, |
? told the intense emotion of the assembly.
J PERFECT UNION AMONG THE WHIGS.
The following is an extract from a long editorial
’ j article of the New York Courier and Enquirer. It j
j shows how true is the assertion very recently made
K by leading w hig prints and Washington letter wn- |
. : ters, that the wing parly was never so well united
B as at this time. j
But it is now said on high authority, and it is vc- ]
€ rv ffcncrallv scan-d will, 100 much truth, thut oil
'• this work of the Extra Session is to result in com*
r caratively nothing , because John Tyler chooses to
J set up bis peculiar notions in hostility to lie clear*
. ly indicated will of the People ; and is determined
to place his vkto upon the Hank Bill . .
e is the current rumour from Washington,
* comine f.om sources which entitle it to the highest
e credit; and yet we must be permitted to doubt w he
n tber such will be the final delorminanon of the Lx
ecu five. That he now thinks he may Veto the
' Bank Bill, and that his son and Private Secretary,
very openly declares that such is the determination
-of his father, we do not question. But when the
u time arrives for action,—when John Tyler is call-
ed upon to give his approval of a measure passed
by the Representatives of tho People-elected at
r the same lime they elected him to the Vice Presi
dency. believing him lu be honest and true to the
Country and his own professions;—when ho calls
to mind that at the Harrisburg Convention which
placed his name before the People, he was tho ac
tive panizan of Henry Clay for the Presidency,
who was known to be in favor of a Bank with more
extended powers, and that ho John Tyler, shed
tears over the defeat of Mr. Clay and was nomin
ated for the Vice Presidency by Mr. (May’s friends
to dry those tears; —when ho remembers that to
secure to himself the nomination for the Vice Pre
sidency he was openly and above board, the ad
vocate of all Geo. Harrison’s principles—and to
secure his election adopted the very language of
Gen. Harrison in relation to a Bank; —when he ve
ry plainly perceives that his whole course since the
meeting of the Harrisburg)! Convention will have
| been one of infamous and disgraceful duplicity if
I he now falters in his duly ; when he reflects, ns he
[ cannot foil to do, that lie is solemnly pledged to
j carry out the views and wishes of those who con
i tided in his honor and put faith in his pledges ; and
that he is more clearly and distinctly instructed
upon this question than any other man in the na
tion.—wo cannot, will not doubt, but he will dis
charge what is so obviously bis duly in regard to
this matter, and approve the Bank Bill or Resign
his njfice.
PUBLIC MEETING IN NEW NAN, COWETA
COUNTY.
NN e copy the following proceedings of a meeting
at Ncwnan, irom the Southern Transcript:
At a meeting of a number of the citizens of Cow
eta county, held in the town of Newiinn on Mon
day evening, the 2d August, 1841, in order to lake
into consideration the dcp'eciated state of the cur
rency,
On motion of William F. Storey, Esq., John M.
Thomas, Esq was called to tho Chair and Thomas
A. Grace appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting being explained by
the Chairman,
On motion of A. J. Berry, Esq. the Chair ap
pointed the following gentlemen as n committee to
draft a preamble and resolutions :
A. R Calhoun, Wm. Ninunons, J. J. Pinson, Joint
Bowen, Wm F. Storey.
Wbo, after retiring for a short lime, returned and
reported the following Preamble und Resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted :
NV hereas the Merchants und citizens of Ncwnan
and county of Coweta, having with their fellow ci
lizens in general, long felt the inconvenience and
loss attendant on a depreciated circulation, have
! arrived at the conclusion that further toleration of
| that currency would be the veriest folly. Fur four
| years they have patiently awaited a correction of
the evil by prudence ami legislation on the part of
Government, and a faithful performance of ibeir
duties by the Ranks themselves. Nol they see no
clearer prospects before them for the coming year
than in the years past. ’The people have spoken
out, but Legislatures bear * ot.and Bank intlueiicu
heeds not. We have but one mode of remedy left
us, and wo sincerely hope that every other inter
est in tho community will come to our aid in press
ing that remedy—we ho!.! it in our bands and need
not fear to en orce it. 'The pi iful cry of tlio lust
few years, raised by stockholders, Rank agents,
speculators and their deceived friends or interest
ed kindred, has no terror for the people at large—
they aro ind 'pendent of rotten and swindling in
stitutions. None will be much hurl in the contest
against them, but those enumerated. They may
come off by fraud unscathed in property, but about
as low in character and respectability, among the
honest and industrious, ns ibeir accursed issues are
below par. 'The Merchants cannot sell their goods
ni the usual fairly compensating prices for their
toil and risks ns the aecoinuiudalors of the com
munity, and receive at the end of the year bills of
Ranks ranging at a discount from three to fifty per
cent. They will bo compelled to pul up ibeir retail
prices to a point ttiat will cover ibeir loss in ex
change and transfers of such depreciated circula
tion. Who then is the looser ? Who most inter
ested in battling with ibis condition of things ?
The answe r is clear. 'The buying mid consuming
community. VVe call, then, on that community to
aid us in our eHurts for in so doing they but help
themselves In consideration ofthe foregoing stale
of facts, and in expectation tlicteby of producing n
more comfort Mile and certain stale of affairs, we
therefore pledge ourselves, as men of truth and
honor, to stand by nn<l fully act out the following
resolutions;
Ist. Resolved , That after the first day of Novem
ber next, we w ill receive in payment of debts due
us none other than the bills of promptly specie
paying Ranks, or the bills of suspended Bunks at
their specie value, specie being the basis.
2d. Resolved , 'That wo urge upon our Legisla
ture rigorous Legislation on the subject of Rank
suspensions in a lime of pence.
3d Resolved , 'That the proceedings of ibis meet
ing be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, und

ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN LNDEPEN
DENCE IN SCRIVEN COUNTY.
After the regular toasts hud been disposed of,
several volunteers were drunk, und among them
the following :
Hy R L. Boykin: The lion. K. J. Black—His
friends in Ncriven county will shew bv their cordi
al support of him for the Senate of the Slate Le
gislature, that they are not ungrateful for the ser
vice ha rendered them by bis signal and trium
phant cliuHlisemel oftbnt insolent Wing, Joshua R.
Giddings, upon (be Boor oi l lie House of Represen
tatives.
Tim foregoing was drunk with nine cheers, and
Mr. Black being called for, rose ord responded in
a becoming manner to the complimentary approval
of his former constituent*.
'The Committee rcgreals that in alluding to the
address of Mr. Black, responsive to Mr. Boykin s
toast, that it is urinhlo to tie justice to the very elo
quent and able effort of the speaker.
Mr. Black stated that bo was laboring under ill
health, but Unit under any circumstances, und iu
anv condition, be would not refuse to respond to the
call of those friends, who upon every occasion, bad
generously sustained him. The allusion, bo said,
just made in the sentiment w hich bad been so flat
teringly received, and enthusiastically cheered by
the company, in relation to bis reply to Joshua IC.
Giddings, reminded him, that that duty imuo pro
perly devolved upon (lie faithful six. They had
but recently received renewed evidence ol the confi
dence of Ibeir constituents, whilst bis delegated
trust from the people was about to determine. Ho
looked to them to repel with indignation, the gross
assault made upon their constituents, and the insti
tution* of the South, but In 1 looked iu vain, 'Their
lips were hermetically scaled, when the abolitionist
was basely writing and slandering those who hud
but recently selected them as their representative*.
Ile said lie could not be o silent witness to this tra
duction ofthe south, and that although bis agency
was soon to expire, be tell it bis duty to devote the
very last moment* of his service in defence of bis
State and her institution*. If us their Representa
tive, lie bud been cast ofl bv the people of Georgia,
his feelings towards them bud undergone nocliange.
He stood ready at all times to defend them against
the base assaults of the Abolitionists. He never
could forget that they were hi* constituent*, and
that they were ever ready to repel with indignation
any attempt to assail their constitutional rights.—
Ile bud done no more limn bis duly, then, by telling
the misguided lunatic what the people ol Georgia
thought of such hypocrite*, and <»f their readiness
and determination to resist and chastise thorn, at any
time, and in every shape or form, in which they
might present themselves.
Mr. Black said there was one member of Con
gress from ibis Stale, who, though like himself, was
beaten, fired with indignation at the reproaches, in
sults, and contumely heaped upon his constituents,
by the insolent man from Ohio, dared to defend them.
Yes, Murk A. Cooper nobly defended the very peo
ple bv whom he bad just been rejected whilst those,
who had renewed evidence of ibeir confidence, were
content to submit in silence to all bis abuse and vil
lilication. Not one of these re-elected members ut
tered a syllable in their defence, but a few days after
; Mr. Cooper bud delivered his speech, one member
i from Georgia, having collected materials (or a
1 speech takes the floor. Was it to respond to Gid
-1 dings?—was it to follow the course which had been
i pursued hy his colleague? No! Giddings’ abuse
was unheeded, but an attack wus made upon Mr.
Cooper, one of his colleagues. This member bud
I bcin reminded of a dereliction of duty, and having
been touched by a random shot scut forth by Mr.
1 Cooper, lie preferred to remind bim ol his defeat,
; than to defend those by whom he had been elevated.
! Instead of defending the people of Georgia by an
attack upon their enemy—lie injudiciously attacks
their gallant defender,
j 'There is another member of tho Georgia dele
gation more distinguished,who is somewhat oxensa
i b!e for bis submission in silence, to the remarks of
i .Mr. Giddings. Transported at the supposed re
lief of hi* constituents from the “sheriff’s ham
mer” and the sudden acquisition of abundant means
by tho people, all growing out of die success of the
i Whig cause, lie had forgotten what was duo «o bis
i constituents. Hr too, considered Giddings an “oh
j scuro Whig” and that it was better that ho should
i be unmolested in the abuse of his constituents ami
southern institutions, than that the harmony of the
i party should be disturbed by theirdefcneo.
Mr. Black said that be regarded every member
of Congress in bis place, ns sufficiently entitled to
notice, and whose assaults upon the rights of Ins
Stale, in the position be then occupied, be should
feel it incumbent on him to repel. Rut who is
Joshua H. Giddings? Is he an obscure man? Look
to his present elevation by the party he was then
serving. He is now the Chairman of one of the
most important Committees of Congress, to which
many questions intimately and delicately connec
ted with the south may bo submitted.
Mr. Black dwelt at some length upon the ascen
dency of the Abolition party by the late changes
which have taken place. The early attempt to a
bolish the 21st rule -of tho House, and the vote ta
ken upon it manifestly proved that the Whig party
ofthe North, with which the Whigs of tho South
have united, are principally Abolitionists and op
posed to Southern institutions.
The ConuqiUoo, from memory, will not proceed
a further to quote from Mr. Black’s speech, ns it cnn
i not even give a faint description of this masterly
- effort.
Mr. Black was frequently interrupted by the
a most deafening oppLuse. His lluoncy and clocu
i tiqn are always attracting, and none can listen to
- him hut with profound gratification. Upon the con
s elusion of Mr. Black’s speech, which occupied an
) hour and a half, he delivered the following toast:
The Democracy of Scriven County: It u ill cease
no effort, relax no nerve, until their labors in the
* i cause ufconstitutional,freedom are crowned with
f i entire success, and the principles of Stale Bights

AS WAS EXBECTBI).
When we wrote the article published in onr pa
per of yesterday morning predicting that the wings
would become the npolugi/.ers for, and defenders
of Swartwoul the or. collector of New York, we
knew nothing cfthcir intentio •, lan judged from
their general policy and the circumstance of their
calhgon him us a witness. Wo however hardly
expected s . sudden a fulfilment of our prediction.
It is already verified.
The new administration has given orders not to
arrest Swart wont on the writs issued under Air.
Van Boren’s administration. Tim* the defaulter,
about whom they said so much, is suffered to go at
large, and to go off again, if ho pleases, a la mode
Ijrvis.
Not only so, but the whig papers are out in full
blast in Ins behalf. The Nor h American says;
“He was very cordially greeted in the streets (of
New York) by his old friends." The Inquirer says
on the authority of the New Ymk Slur, ihnl “his
own accounts have him far less indebted to the go
vermnent than was supposed and that that debt is
nearly covered by ushignmentofrotl estate." And
the United Stales Gazette copies from the New
Yon* Exprei 3 the following: “The re-appearance
of Swart wont, the old Collector, in the streets of
the city yesterday, created something of a sensa
tion. Always personally popular, and many believ
ing that he had been in something wronged by men
with whom ho was associated, he wusgreoeted with
I much of cordiality."
It was well known before the Inst election and so
I stated in the democratic papers (hat the govern
, I ment would not lose much hy Swart wont, beyond
i what would he obtained from his properly and sn
rolies. The whig papers however look r are not to
t mention this: they exaggerated the l<»*s to the nt
-1 most mid gave it as proof of the iiiifiinoss of Air. Van
j Huron for the presidency
' Now, however, they will tell the truth, which
they knew before, and will arid more than (lie truth

i FASHION FOR THE ENSUING WEEK— DI
-3 RECT FROM PARIS,
i In malorials I have nothing new to report this
- week. For chapeaux, the pail Ie do riz i* becoming
very general; they are usually worn with a deep
- hanging feather. Clear muslin, with hands of fancy
s straw, is also much u*ed for dres* hols, and has a
- * very light and distingue effect. The following are
- ! the most recent direction* for the various toilettes:
1 | Morning Neglige. —Robe do charnbre of plaid
i barrege, confined to the figure by a cord, of color*
i- | to correspond; sleeves a la religieusc; cop a la Haig
| nense; slippers of blue morocco,
i I Walking Neglige.—Hobo of grey batiste, the bot
i- tom of the skirt trimmed with three wide tucks;
y sleeves ala jardiniere. Capote of white gros do
Naples; gloves of Swoedish leather; parasols of tur
e tie grey; handkerchief with vignette,
i- Walking Full Dress. —Rohe of tarlalane, embroi
o dered in silk, with colored flowers. Scarf of em
i* broidered crape; chapeau of naille do riz; embroid
n ered handkerchief; parasol ai'evcntail.
c A Philadelphia Quaker. —The chequer hoard plan I
0 of Philadelphia, and the uniformity of its buildings i
1 are sins in taste; for which, in onr humble opinion,
s j William Penn and his followers would receive ul- 1
a ( ter condemnation hy any jury of architect*. But 1 (
i if Quaker heads ore not all cast in the same mould I
3 ! as Michael Angelo’s, their hearts are generally i
: ! developed to tho greatest amplitude of Christian
i charity. Thi* remark might bo fully illustrated I
- hy pointing to certain hospitals, asylum* and like
institutions, but it is our present purpose merely ;
« to prove its applicability in a particular case. A j i
3 certain “Friend" whom wo very well know, was 1 I
I recently at a distant i lace of summer resort. He j«
- j stepped into the Post Office one morning, nnd f •
while there tho Post Aluster asked him whether he i
, knew any English people staying at tho hotel.— I
“Why does thco ask?" sin.l the Quaker. "Be- I t
- cntiso” said tho postmaster, “hero are h If it dozen i i
s loiter.** directed to England by tho next steamer, |
