Weekly paper,three dollars in advance, or tour at the end of the year. CHRONICLE AND BENITNEL Monday Morning, March J<). The communication in to days paper, over the signiture of Cato, is from the pen of a friend in the interior of the State, who has ever been an *unfaultering and unflinching advocate of the State Rights doctrines, “through evil and well as good report,” both before the people and in ike Legislature of the State. Like him we have ever hoped that whatever differences of opinion might arise among ourselves as to the expedien cy or utility of the Sub-Treasury scheme, they j would never be suffered to impair the integrity and harmony of the party, but unlike his, that ! hope of ours is far from being “reduced to the | faint glimmering of n distant star.” A parly | formed upon those great and ever-during prin- j ctples, which constitute the basis of the State Rights creed, should never suffer itselt to bo tin- J I paired in strength or dissolved by any oilier quet* tion which may temporarily arise, however ex- I citing. The Sub-Treasury question is certainly one of I great importance—but it is a question which lime (perhaps a very short time) will settle, ami the financial policy ol the country once settled, whether for or against that scheme, the question ■ vs at rest. Rut the principles upon which the jtviato Rights party is formed areas lasting as the Constitution or the Union. We ask, then, il questions of inferior importance, and ephemeral in the excitcmemcnt which they produce, should bepermitled to rend asunder a party based upon principles permanent and unchangeable in their very nature. Wo claim the privilege of thinking upon the (SUb-Treasury and Bank questions as S'Wo please, feud of speaking our thoughts freely— we yield to ethers of the party the same right. We neither desire nor shall attempt to read any man out of the party for differing with us upon I the question of a National Batik, rind of those who believe in the expediency of the Sub-Treas ury scheme attempt to force the parly Into a por tion il support to that measure, by making it a test question of political otthadoxy, then at their door lies tiro sin of dismembering the party. Copy of n Letter to the Editor. Your correspondent from Savannah, in your paper of the 10th, is right about the resumption ol specie payments. Our Banks cannot sately> either to themselves or to the people, resume im mediately on the resumption of the Ncw-York Banks. Ours were the last among the Atlantic stales to suspend ; and resumption, to be prudent must take the same course. New-\urk tntixj ■ take the lead, hut will act unwisely if she does, Resumption should commence at Now Orleans, where suspension commenced, I believe. But should New York resume in May, which I I lake to|bo impossible in the present slate of ,it things, Georgia '{bust wail patiently until the * Banks in New Orleans and Alabama commence. With the circulation of our Banks in Alabama, which is understood to bo la'ge, with the currency of Alabama depreciated as it. is, fetid the exten sive land sales in the west, to commence in the spring, in anticipation of which specie in that quarter is understood to command a premium of 25 per cent. —hovv can the Banks in Georgia re sume without the certain prospect of being drain ed of every dollar of tbeir specie, and consequent thereupon, heavy demands on their debtors ; thus biinging ruin upon them, which, reacting, must ruin the Banks. The Georgia Banks had little or no share in bringing about that stale of things which made suspension necessary. There was, in reality, no need of their suspension, except in .self defence., When others so acted as to make coin an'aiticlo of commerce, and not simply a measure of value, we were right in not allowing the people of our state to suffer for that misconduct So will our Bunks ho right in resumption, so to act as that, the people shall not suffer by the They must not resume simply because others re. surne; but wait patiently until the proper time comes —tho time when it can be done without injury to tho people. And litis lime can conic only when resumption shall have taken place all * E around us, and coin shall have ceased to ho an arlicloof merchandise. Our Banks, to act safely i I must lake the same order in resumption that they did in suspension ; namely, be the last. There should be no false pride about this thing. ■ Against the influence of such feeling, our Banks I should ho especially guarded, else mischief may I ensue which it will lake years to repair. ■ {feOKTHE CHIIONIPLE AND SEXTtNtL.j * If there ever was a time when the Slate Rights parly were imperiously called upon to reflect and forbear, the present appears to he that K moment. I had indulged the hope that, what r ‘~t?ver difference might arise among us upon the Sub Treasury Bill, it w ould not be of such a * nature as to cause a separation of out party. I still Indulge that hope, but it shines not as once il did with the full brightness of the sun, Iml is rrduceu to the faint glimcrings of a distant and fidtng star. To me the least approach to such ■K a catastrophe is pregnant with the deepest regret. To still disagree with opponents is to be expected, N| but far different is it with friends who have here in* tofore acted in unison, who have acted witlt a tLM common feeling and a common interest, who have participated in the same triumphs and Uk shared the same reverses; who have rejoiced in victory and sympathised in defeat. 1 would * rather retain an old and tried friend, than gain a jßfdoxen new ones. The Slate Rights party of Georgia is peculiarly |L constituted; it consists of those who during the ®Jast tew years, have remained firm to those prin ctples under every fortune. Associated as they «Kr e,c un dct circumstances of the most discourag ing nature, they have remained firm and unsha • llr * n .’ c . ontr * vc d 1° advance in the face ol oh-‘.aclcs hitherto uuprcscnlcd to any parly in the i history of our country They have had, to say ; nothing of misrepresentations, to contend with the most opprohious epiihets and denunciations, hurled against them both hy the official authori ties ol the Stale and the genera! government. — It has not passed from my recollection, andean 1 only be blotted from my memory in death: the time when 1 heard our parly denounced by the highest authority in the Stale, when the darkest clouds were over and around us, os traitors to our country. But in the hour of that country’s need, not with words hut with acta, they attested their sincerity with their blood, which has caused the loul asperosin to return upoti the head ol him who made it, and those who vouched fur its truth. At the period alluded to there was a reorganization of parties, the sunshine politician and the expectant of office alike deserted from a party, where there was neither the hope of a calm day presented to the one, or office within reach ol the other. The breach in our ranks was to a certain extent filled hy some noble spirits from the opposite side, who preferred to sink upon the ramparts of State sovereignty than rise upon the splendid ruins of her fid!.— | Those who joined us, however, did not make up I thejdefieicncy of those who hud left us* Upon the j line of party distinction being drawn the Slate j Rights parly found themselves in n considerable minority, linked together far the purpose ot lift ! ing the constitution from the weight »f corrup j lion under which it had fallen. Though defeat I was deplored, it never discouraged. With a i vigilance that never slumbered, anil a purpose that never faltered, defeat but nerved to greater j action. With patriotism for the stimulent, and truth the sword, they faced every danger, and surmounted every obstacle ! the banner which stood erect mid moved in proud defiance for four years, began to waver and bend in ’'36, was lower, cd to the ground in ’3?. Shall it again ascend in 331 Against what has our party been struggling ? against the assumption of power hy the Execu tive : dangerous to liberty, destructive of our free institutions, and.incompatible with the pros perity and happiness of the people. The most prominent of these assumptions was the claim of Gen. Jackson to regulate the currency of the country. It was in reference to this subject that Gen lackson invoked his friends to rentier their support to Mr Van-Bureu, because he said my measures have, not had a fair trial; should an indi vidual hostile to them succeed me, and ruin should gtow out of them, my name will go down to pos terity with infamy; Mr. Van Buren is pledged to carry them out, elect him & give my experiments a fair trial: Agreeable to the wish so expressed, his friends acted. Mr. Van Buren was elected and the result has been the/prostration of the prosperity of the country. The derangement of the whole fiscal concerns ofthe country, and in stead of the belter currency which we were pro mised, we have been left no currency at all.— With the blasted prospects and the reck of ruin ed hopes floating around us, we the hitherto un compromising opponents of these measures are now called upon to give them our support, when every prediction < f these ruinous effects have been more lliun realized, when they are sinking beneath their own weight, and the indignation ot a justly excited people, vve who have been mainly! instrumental in producing the fall, arc called upon to cast ourselves beneath its frag ments. Because a corner post of our party has passed from Borne to the Court of the Goths, shall we descend from Olympus to follow an ea gle in his downward flight over the crushed hopes and despairing ery of thousands through out the whole extent of a once happy land. Is this the end of our ambition, this the practical re sult* of our boasted principles. We claim to ho led hy principles not men, shall we against all our preconceived opinions,ami our own judgment, he drawn into the support of measures which we have always condemned merely became an indi vidual high in our confidence has thought pto per to shift his ground. That Mr. Citlhottn is a great man, no one will doubt that docs himjus ticc, I have read both his speech and Mr. Web ster’s on tho Sub-Treasury, Mr. Calhoun’s is a most tremendous effort of genius, hut it con fuses rather than convinces, he jumps into the very heart of a subject and cols his way through it, while Mr. Webster, to whom I turn fur arguments to combat him with, appears chop ping at the extremities. There arc, however, objection;; that present themselves to my mind, whether well or id founded, arc, nevertheless, sufficient to satisfy me. At the commencement ofthe war upon the currency of the gountry hy Gen. Jackson, ex change was equal, the country out of debt, the , people happy and prosperous. At that time a United Stales Bank was in existence, through tho agency of which the national debt had been discharged. U’r 10 theexpiration of that intuitu lion, that happy state of things existed ; a short time after its end all these evils have resulted.— ■ o nce ( u ./ljre, infthe history of our country, the like causes had produced the same results. I lay it down, therefore, as a fundamental principle, that a national bank is expedient, as based upon former experience; and I lay it down as a truth incontrovertible, that the people can establish a constitu ional hank, and that whatever is for their interest should bo done, will in lime be done, l.et the people own every dollar of the stock, and the gove nment use it as a mere deposite office. I object, therefore, to the sub-treasury, because it is the continuation of a measure which has al ready produced ruin to the country, and so afr from affording substantial relief to the people, does not even profess such an object, I object to the suit-treasury because it seeks to draw a ' line of distinction between the government and the people, by making a different currency for lltc one from what the other will be compelled to lake. I object to it, because, in a moment of the greatest distress and weakness among the people, 1 it seeks to strengthen the hands of the govern ment with the means of oppression. I oljec", be cause it strikes at the root of our prosperity, in the annihilation of commerce and the system of credit. I object, because the inevitable consc : quencc of its establishment would he the ruin of 1 banks, in producing which, great distress would : fall upon the people. I object, because it was ' ushered into existence accompanied hy a denun ! cialion of a large and enlightened portion of our 1 citizens, die mercantile community. A system ' which seeks to be established upon the downfall : of an industrious class of (he people is pregnant with the seeds of tyranny, and should be most 1 patriotically resisted. I lastly object, because 1 it seeks to establish a government specie bank, ’ by placing at the disposal of the President a large ’ amount of specie which may bo wielded to the ‘ destruction of tho sovereignly of the states, and 1 the liberty of the people. ’ The Slate Bights party, in following Mr. Cal -1 houn in his support of the sub-treasury, must he -1 come the supporters of Mr. Van Buren, and idea tilled with the administration' Admit that, they 1 did so, I confess myself at a loss to understand the act of regeneration in his administration lira f has caused this change. They opposed hi* electior e after a full development of the plan by which hi administration was to be conducted should he l» y elected. The same measures that agitated Ih ’ country previous to the election of. Mt Van Bit l , ren, still continue to agitate it; there is no,per ’ ccptible change in the situation of parties, an c none whatcicr in the relative situation of th question. i'lie administration have gained a proselyte, where it was (east expected, in Mr. Calhoun; but the disaffection of Mr. Calhoun cannot rob the parly ho leaves ot the truth and and justice and patriotism of their principles, and bestow them on that party to which ho may at tach himself. Wo yield him every thing on the score ot talent, hut in patriotism, the great mass of the State Rights party admit no superiors. I would again respectfully ask on what grounds will any Slate Rights man give his support to Mr. Aan Huron; what change of measures has he. introduced. Can any man for a moment satisfy himselt that the suh-treaau y is a measure of Mr. Calhoun’s- At whose recommendation was that measure brought before lire country ; who intro [ dneed the present bill that is before Congress ! Mas it Mr. Calhoun 1 ! Wfint other prominent individual hut himself, of the Stale Rights party, countenances and supports that hill'! ?lo man need delude himself; upon the success of that bill 1 derf-ends lire fate of the present administration, ; jt is to the decision of this very question the i whole acts of government have been tending for ; the last five years; and no matter who may have ! first cnlettained this measure, whether General ; Jackson, Mr Calhoun, or Mr. Heaton, it will I meet the decided opposition of the Stale Kigf; Is 1 Parly of the interior of Georgia, of whose views ami opinions I profess to know something. We are neither to bo bought or sold at the pleasure of any man; as freemen we fenn our own opinions, and as freemen wo intend to cxereise our own judgments. We are neither to ho awed by the power of sophistry, nor cajoled by the smiles of flattery. Wo have been contending for our ■principles too long in the 'minority (6 tor-akc them t now that the mist is beginning to clear away, and victory meets our grasp. Wo mean to break no fall, we interpose no arm to save a cor rupt ailminirlraijirn. We helped not to elevate, so neither will We stoop to save; we have received no kindness from, we feel no sympathies with if; abused in its prosperity, wo ask no recantation, in the hour of its misfortune. Its opinions can not change our principles, if they were right they will remain so under all circumstances. Hold ing such views, though a majority is gratifying (ho fear of a minority will not drive us from our course: we ere prepared to remain in an e crnal minority rather than give up one inch of the ground we occupy. Again I ask what dock the Stale Right Party expect to gain by an advocacy of Mr. Calhoun or Mr, Van Buren. It is in the recent know ledge of overy man, that the bare suspicion of a connexion between Mr. Calhoun and the Troup party caused its downfall, and still more recent is the fact that l!ie connexion between Mr. Van Huron and tin- - i-oncest innnerieal par ty that ever existed in Georgia, is rapidly causing the overthrow of that party. Then what trio, live 1 might ask were 1 addressing men less pure than I believe the Slate Rights parly to lie, could induce you lo follow the one in his dereliction of principle to support the other who never yet possessed any. Where is the inducement of sered our patriotism. Mr. Calhoun may be. i>.,- nesl in bis present views; between hi* acts and his conscience I interpose no inquisitorial powo - ; if he thinks himself right, in heavens name let him enjoy his opinion. Through a combination of circumstances the Slate Rights Party at a period of its greatest trials found an auxiliary in Mr. Calhoun. For the services he rendered us then, we cannot ho indifferent to his fate, and at the same lime that we regret his departure from among us, we are consoled by the reflection that wu nn-in nocent of the cause that produced il. Wo acknow ledge nn head, no leader in our ranks. Certain ■ plain land maiks wc have laid down before us, which the most ignorant may sec, and which | none can pass over with impunity; n rigid con struction ot ihe constitution is one, the confining the government lo its legitimate sphere of action is another; an uncompromising limitation of the powers of the executive, and the confining them to their proper bounds is one of the greet objects of bur parly; above all lo keep distinct and sepe ratc the power of ibe sword and purse, for in the words of Mr. Calhoun himself •- any thing is now done by m ncy, it is the sinews not only of war but of politics, it exercises almost unlimited coni roll.” As the guardians of liberty whose Sen tinel" wo claim to be, what are we lo do with this (it that man’s becoming weary of his du-y „ n ,l forsaking his po-t. We have other end higher 1 ends in view, a more responsible duly to per 1 r„ rm which requires all our vigilance and forc ■ sigh!. _ CATO.

Mr. BELL objected to this amendment, on tlie ground ot its being a bad 'f'reeedenl; The for mer appropriation of $20,000 for this purpose was understood to have been intended as final, for lire completion of the public buildings in Wisconsin. He was opposed to the whole system, which see med to he becoming a common one, Mr, CAMBRELENG shewed the necessity of making the appropriation now asked for, hy way ol completing what had been begun ami carried on to some extent. Mr. !BiS YDER, of Illinois, suggested that in case of the occuirence of the contemplated divisi ion of tiro Territory into East and West Wiscon sin, the present buildings would bo so located as to render them inutile. Mr. BRONSON maintained that this location ; wall such as to obviate this objection; being the centre of what, under tho contemplated division, would be Wisconsin proper. Mr. BELL insisted on Ins former objections, urging that the sum originally appropriated was intended to bo final : a view which Mr. Bronson opposed. The amendment was injected. Some other comparatively unimportant amend ments were then acted upon: after which, on motion, the House (at 4 o’clock) adjourned. M. WASHINGTON, March 14, 1838. Tire debate in the Senate on the Suli-Tteasu ry Hill for a few days past have been mere inter oiling and exciting than any discussion during, the present session. The lute hofcr to which both houses sal from day to day prevented me from giving so full a noli e of this us 1 wished, without neglecting all other business. I gladly, embrace a leisure hour on a less interesting day to notice more particularly some of the most stri king incidents in these p ■oceedifigs. The sketch I gave ol Mr. Golhoun’s reply to Mr. Clay, and of the rejoinder of the latter will excite the curiosity of your readers for the full report of the memorable controversy. A keener encounter of wits never took place in the Capi tol. Mr. Calhoun defended himself with singu lar ingenuity and power, arid made a hold and ’ vigorous onset on his opponent. Mr. Clay repel-, led these attacks with a dexterity, force, and promptness, as great as ever were displayed; and assailed Mr. Calhoun in his turn with extraordi nary energy and effect. When you see the whole debate in print, I think you will admit that Mr. Calhoun entirely failed in making out tho charge he brought against Mr. CLAY' of omission and misrepresentation, and in proving his own consistency. There was one passage in the reply of Mr. Clay, which I have no doubt will he greatly mis represented for the purpose of injuring him in the Smith. I moan that in which he referred to nullification. Tho infamously mendacious Globe has already busied itself in misrepresenting his course of remark. Mr. Clay offered no insult to the nullifiers. Nor did ho say any thing at all disrespectful to the Slate of South Carolina herself or to the nullifiers as a parly. But know, ing the magnanimous part he had acted at that memorable crisis when South Carolina took her; altitude ; believing that no man could candidly assert that Stale interposition compelled the pas sage of the compromise act, and indignant at the exalting lone in which Mr. Calhoun had made' that assertion —it was natural that in the person al controversy, he should repel the statement with some heal, and even retort upon his oppo nent. What he said was meant for Mr. Calhoun, and extorted by the lone of taunt and cxhnlta lion in which that Senator had indulged, while selling in the midst of those who were ready to battle against nullification in the most violent manner Gen. Jackson might suggest • and while supporting our administration that follows in the foolatepts of the lasi, and inherits its principles Proclamation and all!! I was sorry that the language of Mr. CLAY was such as to give pain to others, high-souled and patriotic men who were with South Caroli na on that occasion, and no man regretted more than Mr. Clay himself that “ he hud shot his ar row o’er the house and struck a brother.” Mr. PRESTON gallantly defended his Stale and his party if: ike stand they had taken. Jlis speech was distinguished for spirit ami eloquence, produced a powerful impression. It called out from Mr. CLAY a short explanation, in which ho disclaimed all intention of disrespect to South Carolina or to the nullifying party, and made an < eloquent reference to the character of the State, and to some of tho most distinguished e.mong those who supported her al that crisis. Tito speech which Mr. WELSILL com menced on Monday, and finished on Tuesday, was the greatest by far that has distinguished tin: debate. It is regarded by those who have heard him on all the great occasions of the display of his faculties of reasoning and eloquence, as by far the most powerful intellectual effort of his whole life, the two great questions of which ho proposed the consideration arc, “is the bill suit ed to the condition of tho country and the cir cumstances of the times'! and docs it fulfil the constitutional duties of tho Government!” Under lire first head lie took a wide and most philosophical view of that condition and those circumstances, dwelling particularly on the state of the currency, the advantages of the credit sys cm, the relations between capital and labor, the hanking system as it has existed in England and this country, the, absurdity and impracticability of an exclusive specie currency, and tbe perni cious cHeels which would flow from it, even if adopted; its hostility towards tho resumption of specie payments by the Hanks, uy keeping in the Treasury one-third ol the whole specio of the country. A more admirable analysis, a more eloquent exposition never was made than this portion ot tho speech. But this argument on lire constitutional duly j and power of tho general government to provide a sound and uniform currency vVas not less pow erful. He deduced this power and duty first from the grant of authority over coinage. In connection with this point, he proved that Mr. Calhoun had in 181(1, distinctly and in terms ■ admitted that the Coiuliliitiou given to Con ■ gren the power to regulate the currency. Mr. Calhoun introduced a bill for repelling t r redeem- I able paper, by taxing bank notes, appointing a I Commissioner of Stamps vim was to stamp on the face of every nolo not redeemed in specie on 1 demand “non ,pc.de payi'np haul, ’and return it with that brand of dishonor and disgrace. All ■ tins Mr. Calhoun rbntvtJ fioui die < outage 1 Power! Mr. WEBSTER contended that Congress al so poascssed the power lu regulate lire currency under the giant of mitlioriiy over commerce. 1 i have no doulil his reasoning on this point will he looked upon as the most a life part of tins oldest of all his speeches. Ho placed in a light stronger than ever it was exhibited in, before. Mr. WEBSTER’S reply to Mr. Calhoun was i overwhelming. He prefaced by a most beautiful j and impressive reference to his intimacy and , friendship which had subsisted between Mr, C. [ and himself from their first entrance on public life down to the session of 1823 21 their renew ed intimacy in 1833—and then parting on the great questions which arose at the Extra Session Mr. WEIJSTEK said he parted with the Sen ator from South Carolina, with regret and he Clo sured Mr. C that ho carried with hinrall that per sonal kindness - allthat hearty good will—all those cordial wishes for his future happiness and pros perity with which their early, long—continued and sincere friendship had inspired him. Upon this portion of Iris remarks I w ill dwell fully to morrow. 1 must reserve the rest of this paper for a notice of the proceedings of today After some miscellaneous business, Air. Rob- I bins of H.
