[EIIOM OUR COnUEBPORI)E»T.
WASHING 1 ON, Feb. 17th, 1838.
In the notice I took yesterday of Mr. Cal
houn's elaborate speech in favor of the Sub-Treas
ury System, I mentioned his declaiation that the
real question was between the bill, and the reor
ganization of the Deposi'.e Bank System, propos
al by Mr. R.ves. Assuming that tho issue was
thus narrowed down, ho went on to contend that
every argument which was urged in 1834 against
that system, was now an argument for ms pro-,
position — for his scheme, (as he repeatedly cal'
led lh; hi I'.) In th s connection ho told the
whigs what they o ghtto hav o done. With
their opinions he maintained, they ought to
have gone for the scheme now offered by the
administration. If n should be defeated, the
responsibilt y would bo theirs. If the substitute
succeeds, it will te fore d on the executive by
the whigs. He regretted that the opposition had
pot taken the bill, as i wa, their duly to do!
of course, directed his artillery chiefly '
against the substitute of Mr. Rives, Hebrough '
against it a long array of constitutional objec -
Hons. It proposed to make a contract between
(lie government and twenty five banks. That bo
said, was unconstitutional. The Federal gov
ernment, had in his opinion, no right to make
any such contract. Not only is the connection
proposed unconstitutional in itself, but tlie mode
by which it is to be brought about is equally so.
Whyl (will those who have been accustomed to
regard Mr. Calhoun as an opponent of execu
tive usurpation believe hi) Because, said he
the executive will lie excluded from control in
the matter. John C. Calhoun grown jealous
of encroachment on executive authority! Well,
strange things happen in this world!
Another constitutional objection of his, waa>
to the system o." general deposites. Congress,
he maintained had no right to place the pub
lic money in banks fur their use uny more than
they have lo give it to private individuals.
Again, Mr. Calhoun contended, that the use
of this money by the Bunks iu discounting &c
was wholly unconstitutional. The Banks, when
made Government Dcposilorics, constitute the
Treasury of the United States: and as the con.
■dilution positively prohibits the withdrawing
any money from the Treasury, except by author,
ily of law, the Banks had no right to give thn
use of the money lo those who had transactions
with them, because that would bo withdrawing
money from the Treasury without the aulhorily
of law!
It is aidd in Mr. Calhoun's opinion wholly
unconstitutional to receive bank notes in pay
ment of the public dues, and lo treat them as
currency! Mr. Calhoun talked about the consti
tutional currency very much in the stylo of
Benton and the Loco Focos. Ho confessed he
had not made up his mind on the subject, uadi
very recently. He had turns d his attention lo
it, when the entire separation between the Gov
ernment arid the Banks was accomplished, and
he promptly came to the decision that there was
not the slightest authority for receiving hank
notes, and treating them us cash, as money.
Finally, ho maintained, that the constitution
gave no power lo the government lo regulate the
cuireney. It was confined in its control to
gold and silver.
These were the grounds of constitutional prin
ciple upon which Mr. Calhoun opposed the sub
stitute, ami supported tbo bill. I give them to
your readers that they may pass for what they
are worth. They have all been refuted over and
over again by those who maintained that the
general government was bound to provide for
the people a sound, stable, and uniform currency.
Mr. Calhoun then procedeed to [state his
objections lo the measures proposed in Mr. Uives’
scheme for bringing about the resumption of
specie payments. He admitted that the motives
held out were sufficiently strong to induce the
resumption. But he thought the operation
would be fatal. The strongest banks would re
sume, and in doing so would prevent the weaker
ones from resuming. Air. Biddle’s bank of Penn
sylvania, would bo the first lo resume, and it
would depend very much on that financier what
other banks would resume.
He was opposed to oli’ering such inducements
for resumption. Kesumpliun ought to be a
: wo k of time. The debts of tho banks must
first bo paid, and iu his opinion, any attempt to
compel a resumption by any action here, before
t icy weie paid, would be dangerous and des
■ fa
truettve. n ■
Air. Calhoun retorted upon Mr. Rives the
charge which has been brought against the sub
treasury scheme, of leading to a government
bank. He declared that tho substitute would
have that tendency. The league ofdepositc banks,
be said, would lead to the establishment of
despotic power. Mr. BiddVk’s Bank would
become the mother institution, and control the
whole family of small institutions. Ho saw in
the end a Bank aiicht !
He controverted the idea that the bill would
lead to the increase of executive patronage and
power. On the contrary, said he, a divorce
between the bank and government would be the
greatest blow ever given lo tho sliciigthof gov
ernment. The union of tho two was the moving
cause of all the attempts to strengthen the arm of
government. The union of tho two was the
source of high tariff, unnecessary tax
ation, surplus, &c. Banks, he said, was right
waen ho dec ared that “Revenue is the Stale.”
Separate tho one liom tho o her. and you id u tl o
slron . esl blow at patronage and power!
After maintaining t int the system proposed
by the Bill as lo financial agents was safer than
that proposed by the subst t ule; a d that it would
have the in .si bincficial influence on the indus
try,prosperity and general interests of the country,
ho cone iu led by de.uar ng his belief that what
ever decision might now be made on the ques
tion, this, nis cause, would ultimately prevail.
To day Mr. TIPTON, of Ind na, made a
very sensible speech against the Sub Treasury
Bill. His testimony concerning the opposi
lioll the abhorrence with which it is regarded
every where in tho West, must have been most
unpicasing to Messrs Wright & Co. An over
whelming roajoti'y of the people of Indiana, he
said, were opposed to this execrable scheme
of the Administration.
The Senate concurred in the amendments to the
Bill relative to the Choctaw Commission which
were made by the House. The Bill now requites
approval of the President, in order to become a
law.
At the request of Mr. RUCOLES, Mr. Web
ster offered a resolution for raising a committee
lo inquire into the charge brought by “the Spy
in Washington.” The resolution comes up on
Monday: to which day the Senate adjourned. Air.
Clay w 11 then speak on the Sub Treasury Bill.
The House was occupied during tho whole
day in discussing tho .-'enate Bill to compel! the
j observance of our neutral obligations; and with
-1 out coming to any decision
• The Housa adjourned till temonsw. As.

The Cleaveland papers of the 9ih inst.
contain the following - notice of a new move* -
ment on the part of the Canada insurgents..
Ihr Patuiots. —We have rumors f ont
the West that the Patriots who passed up the
Lake, a few days since, haa concentrated at
Sandusky, where they have been reinforced
from the surrounding - country. They are
making arrange men's, we understand, for
cros.sing over to Cunningham’s Island, and
from thence by the other adjoining I Lnds
into Canada This movement will be un
expected to the {loyalists, who, anticipating
an attack in a difleixht quarter, are concen
trating their forces on the western frontier,
from Malden to Sandwich, opposite to Detroit.
The ice, it is said, is suHtcleriUy strong to
admit of a passage, which will doubtless be
effected In a short space of time. It is also
rumored that provisions, in large quantities,
are coming in from the country. \Vc do not
place implicit reliance upon these reports, but
there maybe, notwithstanding, some truth m
the same.
THE FRENCH FEASANT GIRL.
“Tis silent nil hut on my car,
Those well remembered echoes thrill.”
After a season of festivity and dissipation,
the. very enjoyment dt which satiates, Mon?,
litid Madame Vdlaret came down to a retired
village in France, to taste for a few days the
holy influence of nature and solitude. It was
in the summer time, the country was picture
i esquo and beautiful, ami they still retained a
, portion of that early romance which is inhe
rent in our nature, and which leads us hack
with a syren smile, and a charmed voice, to
the pleasure which delighted our childhood,
' and makes us love to sit under old trees, to
• listen to tho voice ol bird.- - , and to gather wild
i flowers, “others yet the same,’’ us th»“^
. '"■‘“’h we m.vc p'f.u-l'.Zl li'.u ‘wreathed „, t0
f chaplets in days ofy rc,
During one ol their solitary rambles, they
came suddenly upon a young peasant g 1 1,
I drawing water from it we J, her hack was to
, wards them, and they paused lor a moment to
admire the simple and classical elegance of
the young cottager. Her dark sinning hair
was gathered tip in a low knot at the back of
1 her head, and confined with a silver pin,
i which was the only ornament, she wore, the
rest of her dress being composed of the sim
( plcst and coarsest materials. Though labor
and exposure had somewhat stained the white
! ness of her hands and arms, their beautiful
' symmetry tould neither be altered nor con
cealed. Site appeared thoughtful, and leatt
. ed against the side of the well in silent üb
stracttdti. Unwilling to disturb her, I hey
were turning into another path, when their
1 steps were arrested by a strain of rich and im
’ tutored melody, which arose in a stdl air like
1 enchantment; the words were simple, but the
. sweetness which thrilled through every note
r surpassed any thing they had ever before
heard.
‘ “3/bn Dieu!" exclaimed Madame V.Horet,
s “it is thn» peasant girl ; she must be ours.
Such a voice, with a little cultivation, would
f bewitch all Paris, and make our own and the
, gif! b fortune.”
Ttiey returned and entered into conversa
tion with the young villager, the result of
1 which it s not difficult to guess. Pauline Du
rant was poor, but innocent and happy. Sue
only felt sad when she looked on the bowed
and waieted form of her old l -.lhcr and reflec
ted upon her own utter helplessness. It was
on tire evident love which she bore this aged
parent that Madame Vdlaret worked; she
represented to her in how short a lime, by the
exercise of her talents in cultivating that gift
of song which God had so graciously bestow
ed on her, she would be enabled to raise him
from a stale ol indigence to one of compara
tive affluence and comfort; and Pauline was
more than half persuaded.
During their interview at old Durant's
cottage, there was one among the group wi.o
stood apart, with his arms crossed and
ids Ips compressed. He marked all that
passed with a stem and vigilant glance, lis-.
tened to the specious arguments of the holy
with a contemptuous sneer, and watched the
struggle between visions ot grandeur, and
a deep rooted love ot her own simple home
and habits which rent the hresent ol Pauline
in silence. lie longed to speak but did not,
ho was determined she should speak for her
self. She did so, and Madame triumphed in
'Re success of her oratory. But the young
girl turned away from her congratulations
and promises, and for the first time perceiv
ed who had made one ot the audience. “You
here, Andre,” she said, “Oh! I am so glad!”
and then she paused, for there was nothing
in the expression of his countenance to make
her glad. “You think 1 have done wrong,”
she eagerly continued. “I know you do, and
are angry with me. But it is not too late,
only say the word, and I will not go.” “And
could you slay here and share my honest
poverty after all the golden promises that
have been made you!” asked the young man
doubtingiy. She leant her head upon his
shoulder, and looked up silently into his eyes;
there wat ho need of words, he felt the deep
devotion of that look. “And yet, Pauline,
you would like to go!”
“I confess I should. Only think, Andre,
in a few years 1 should he quite rich enough j
for our happiness. I will then return and I
live with you forever?”
“Let us consent to her departure," eh id M.
Durant; “even in the gieat city to which .-lie
is going, tho roinembcrance ol a lather’s love,
and the lessons ot u sainted mother, will
shield her from harm. My grey head will j
not be bo'vcd in shame and sorrow to tho
grave, bin I shall hold it erect, and, while
listening to her prises,to her triumphs, re
member with pride and glory it is my daugh
ter of whom they speak!”
With a full heart tho young girl knelt down
to receive her father’s blessing, a blessing
not of the lips hut of tho heart. Andre was
moved, against his leelinga and belter judge
ment, lo consent, and pressing his. lips_upon
her white brow with passionate tenderness,
|,e Find in a scarcely and h e whisper—
i-PaulinPjUo oilier kiss must efface tins first
this pure pledge of our mutual affections, unit*
we meet agam," 1
Tho blushing girl wept her vows and pro
mises upon his bosom.
Three days after the chateau of Mr Vil-
Uret was again lo let, and all was silence in
the woods and vales, through v/o'cit lie
peasant girl’s voice was wont lo echo like the
singing of birds.
Months rolled on, and Paulino, in ihe con
finement of a crowded city,and in the intense
course ol .study through which she was obliged
io puss, a preliminary step, lo the triumphs ct
Madame Viharet anticipated for her, found
a sad change. But ‘.he thought cf her oid
lather, and of the ultimate happiness she was |
preparing tor those she loved, buoyed her up; \
and though the rich color faded from her
cheek, leaving it pale and wan as the face of
a denizen of the city usually is, thejoyoue
ness of her spirit remained all unquencod and
unbroken, Motts, and Mad. Villaret were
both kind to her, but there was a worldliness
in their fondness, a hollowness in thuir love,
whieli formed a painful contrast with the af
fectionate friends s,ie hail quitted; and she
could only regard them ns instruments, hy
the means of which she was to work out a
path to wealth, happiness, and Andre Lus
dolph.
The time how approached when she was
to make her li rat appearance before a public
audience. Much was anticipated l),om a pu
pil of Madame Villaret, nor were those anti
cipations disappointed; Paulino made a splen
did debut, her patroness was quite satisfied
| I and the simple girl, dazzled and bewildered
| by flattery and adulation, began lo think it
was a blessed day when the French ladys
passed lu I men to her us sue s.it singing by ;
the ruined well. Aller a short and highly
succcss'iil season, M. Villaret proponed u
i journey to Naples, where he had accepted a
’ lucrative engagement in the name of hi;
1 young protege. Pauline offered no objections;
, slio oniy stipulated that they should make the
, cottage oi lier father in the route. The old
man received her with raptnous delight; ho
t looked younger nnu belter than when they
parted. The cottage wits simply hut neatly
and comfortably lurnishi d, and ns Paulino
j glanced around her, she remembered that
these comfort; she had already procured for
! her paten’. Andre was absent, but she
I left a thousand kind messages for hint with
hor /’rtlK* . ».%u • ■ . . .
-•» c *.or mat llie fame she
j naa acquired had already reached litis re mole
village, and formed a theme of wonder and
, conversation amongst her old companions,
hut that such reports had only served to reud
' er Andie more than usually gloomy and di
( pirit-ei!.
C “Ue has not. yet learned to trust me, then,”
. thought Pauline, ‘•Well, no matter, another
t year, and all this doubling and fearing will
have passed away, and 1 shall be a 1 his own.”
| Alus! who shall dare to any what one year
may produce, to what ages of joy or sorrow
r it may be the forerunner. God only knowe'.li
the future! This visit was necessarily a brief
I one, but iier form r companions all followed
the carriage for some distance on its route, of
feiing their simple flowers, and their heart fell
Wishes for her speedy and happy return. Af
fected hy their love, Pauline leant back’m the
r carriage and covering her face with iter hands
wept lung and silently; such tears, shed for
such a cause, were indeed a luxury.
' A lapse of several years must intervene bc
' tore 1 again commence my narrative, nor will
j we inquire what were Pauline’s pursuits in
the interim, it is a painful task to trace too
minutely the progro.s of demoralization and
’’ vice; to mark the plague spot ofsin and misc-
J r y, gradually deepening and spreading over
3 the once innocent and young heart, until ev
ery trace of its early purity is effaced. 1 shall
abstain from doing Lins, and return to onr he
r ro.ncj who was now in lull caret, rof what men
_ call gidr y, and angels, sin!
On the evening to winch f would refer, she
stood before a crowded and enthusiastic audi
ence in the lliedtrb til Naples, and their tu
multuous inunmirings of applause flushed
the pale ci-ticks and kindled Hie bright eyes
of tiioir univeisal favonnte. That night she
had been even more than usually effective,
and the people lie d then breath lost one note
of that sweet melody should be lost. Sudden
ly the songstress paused, mid t!ib air was ab
ruptly lernnutiti d by a wild shriek; there was
tniicic even in that shriek; it was the voice of
human agony. Many thought it but the star
ling effect of premeditated art, but those tbho
were near enough to mark her lived brow,
and shuddering frame, felt it to be the lan
guage of irropiessiblo emotion. She was
borne from the stage to ler own dressing
loom, where she soon recovered, »t least the
outward appearance, of composure. ,
••VanviteJli,” si e saitl in a whisper lo the
handsome young Neapolitan, who was bend- t
mg anxiously over her couch, ‘’return in
stantly to tiio theatre and seek out tlie young
man who wore a gr?en jerkin and scarcely
look liis eyes off mu tlie whole evening.”
••1 saw that you noticed him.” (
‘ You must bring him In me, I would speak j
to him m private.” t
Tne Count hesitated, and Pauline pcrcciv- I
ing the iruwii which gathered over Ins brow, '
laid her while jewelled hand upon Ins, and c
.added with a persuasive smile—
‘•it is an old (nand, a countryman of mine; <
I would but ask if my poor father tsyetahvc!”
“iduhdued by the tears winch dimmed her |
beautiful eye , the count bowed and withdrew
to fulfil her request. »
The following morning as Paulino sat sad 1
and alone in her desolate yet splendid apart- "
meals, the door was suddenly flung open,
and tlie accents of a never io be forgotten <1
voice thrilled to her very soul,
“I uve brought the stianger you wished
to see,” said Vuiiviteili, and drawing nearer i
he added in a whisper, “let your conierence
be a short one, 1 shall return in an hour.” 11
She did not look up—she dare noi! The door
closed,and she was alone with her first Jovo ! Sl
Neither spoke ior several minutes, and wrapt in il
| gloomy abstraction, 1 lie young man was uncon' (
scions that the gifted, llie beautiful, the idol ol ei
Naples was kneeling at his feet.
“Pauline!” lie said at length, and the memory »■
of eaily innocent days came hack lo her with the
sound of that voice.
“Pauline, mine own lovr! why ibis position to j'
me! It is 1 who ought to kneel for having dated I
to doubt your purity and truth. But fearful iu
mors reached me in my far oil home, and almost j
drove mu mad; I have travelled hundreds ot j j’
milei to hear them contradicted hy your own j,,
lips; and now I ask not one word. Il is enough if
to gaze on the thy young face to know there is l ’"
no shade of sin on that tiigh pure brow.”
I!o bent over her with all the long hoarded nf. I
lection of years, hut Pauline sprang fr-mi the |
ground, anil avoided his embrace. 1
••Oil do nut, do not curse me!” s' e exclaimed rl
wildly. “It was all true that you heard of me, K<
aid lam indeed fallen, 1a n uowoithy of you!” f
“Anil th epa azzsl” asked Andie, gazing a-- ,j
round the splendid apartment with the bewilder- A
od air of one who dreams.
“Belongs to Count Vanvilelli.he who brought Z
you hither.” p
“Then your are his wife—lds countess. f». r! f
grant that h s love may be able to recompense-. A

eil. ,
‘ No, no!” interrupted the agonized girl, while . '
a burning blush crimsoned her neck and brow;
“ft is worse, even than that. Although the mis- u
tie-: 1 of ibis splendid mansion,! sen ••nly Pauline
Uuraul, it one »u lust dura assume it itiiiutiuii.il
now unsullied.”
1 ho young man rudely snached hid cloak from
her (renzied grasp, hut shu Hew to tho door, and
extended her snowy arms to prevent him leaving
her exclaiming—
“ Hut ono word! Oh! in mercy, Andre, tell mo
of my father.”
"lie is dead! Return thanks to Got], Wretched
girl, dial he lived not to see this day.”
Ihe heart stricken Pauline uttered one
low cry, and sank lifeleSKioii the ground. In
the delirious fever which followed this sud.
den shock, Count Vanvitelli sent tor Madame
ViUaret to take charge of her late pupil, and
their united care and attention in time restor
ed her to health. Uut a change scented to
have passed over her; the still small voice ol
conscience had been awakened, and refused
to slumber again, and both the caressesi of
Madame and the love of the young count
were become hateful to her. After a long
interval occasioned bv ill health, the ,re»tt|)
pearancc of 7’aulinc Durant was announced
to take place in a few days, amt a crowded
; audience assembled to welcome back their
favorite. Uut they came in vain! after waiting
some time the manager made his apperance
before them, and informed them that there
was reason to believe that Mademoisselle Du
rant had secretly quitted Naples. Vanvitelli
was like one distracted, lie offered rewards
(or any intelligence of her, and dispatched
messengers in nil directions, but without
success; Pauline was lum. to him and to the
world for ever.
It was at the close of a beautiful Sabbath
evening, concluded in away which may ap
pear strange to our English prejudices, by a
dance on the green turf, that a female form
was discerned, moving forwards with feeble
steps: n lopeaieitly, as ;f overcome
with fatigue, and dropped down at length
with a heavy groan. Thu dancers suddenly
paused, and gathered anxiously around the
t ranger.
“Surely I should know (hat face?” ex
claimed a young girl, pressing eagelly for
ward, “Can it be Pauline Dili ant?”
“Panchon,” said the wamlcicr in a feeble voice
“do not forsake me! You all loved Pauline
once—for the memory of thu*>« happy days, then
do not scorn me!”
Her young companions wept, and kissed her
pale emaciated hands in silence. There was hut
one sentiment in every breast—-plly for the un
fortunate, and they said among themselves, “We
all know that slit was once innocent and good ;
but wo cannot, in our ignorance of tho world,
conceive the power of those temptations which
have led her to fall. God foiled that wo should
judge harshly of her, or scorn . or, now that she
Dill arid unhappy; Ti ls was simple reasoning,
hut it was the language of the heart—and worth
all the philosophy in the world.
At her request they bore her in their arms to
the collage ol Andre and laid her on his rude
couch. Life was ebbing fast, she could not speak
hot the heart of her lover was not proof against
the mvttb eloquence of her looks; he supported
her head on his boson, and wiped away the
damps which galheted over her pale brow. Al
that moment years of. past sin and misery wetc
blotted oul, and she was again his own, his pun
—his first, and only love.
Suddenly Pauline lified up her pa'a wan face
font his bosom, and shook back the damp and
disheveled masses of hair which had hall con
ceiied it. Her mind was evidently wandering to
Ibe past, her eyes shone with intense lustre, and

site should have made her reappearance at Na
ples. The notes vvfcre beautifully, touchingly
sweet, and the peasant girls clung to each oilier,
and listened as though under the influence of a
spell. Tho strain terminated abruptly, and a
thrilling cry from AitU'e proclaimed that the soul
of tho vocalist had passed awav in its sweet hut
unholy melody
