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 y,ii, for that which you have scorned and de-pis- *-r | I. 8* 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 she sang. It was an air from tho opera in which 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 Augusta Honcvoleut Society Geminillees appointed Er the present month.
