CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
i AUGUST A.
4 Monday Morning, March 20.
The communication of “ Burke” in to day’s
paper, places us under the necessity of saying a
few words in relation to the matter spoken of In
it. Wo shall do so as btiefly as possible, reserving
for a future day, a full, calm, and temperate dis-
cussion of the whole subject, whed wo come to
answer a letter published recently in the Peo
ple’s Press, which other duties of an imperative
nature have prevented us from answering before
this time.
"Burke” says that the friends of the sub.
Treasury bill in Georgia have not attempted
to make it a test question among the State
Rights party, and asks “ what presses have
denounced its opponents, and in whit com
munications they are “read out of the par
ty?” We reply that some of the leading
friends of that measure have distinctly (old
ns, that it teas a paramount question; and
others have announced to us their determina
tion to break down tho influence of this press,
by all the means within their power, because
we did not go for the measure! The Charles
ton Mercury, and other papers in Carolina
have denounced its opponents as “Federal
ists!” Letters have been written to this
place, by the immediate friends of Mr Cal
houn,denouncing the Editor of this paper as a
V'Federdist in politics”, because he believes
a National Bank necessary, while it is a
fact historically notorious that Mr. Calhoun
'himself was a bank man for twenty one
years, from 181 G to 1837; during which
time there is not a word of his on re
cord, that wc can find, either against the con
stitutionality or expediency of such on institu
tion! If “ Burke” will refer to the commu
nication of a Countryman, published in this
paper some time slope, he will there find a
covert threat against us, for opinion’s sake !
Il is true that no Stale Rights paper in Geor
gia has denounced the opponents of the Sub-
Treasury scheme, because there is not one in
the slate in favor of that measure, except the
People's Press, of this place, tho editor of
w.iicii, wc believe, is fur both a National flank
and tho Bub-Treasury. Others oppose both;
whilst others again occupy the same position
that we do.
It i* hue also, that wc have many subscribers
“who disagree wirh us in this matter,” who have
exercised Rial forbearance due to an honest dif
ference of oprfffan, between tpbfil'ical friends'uni
ted upon principles, paramount in importance
to that wb'ich is the subject matter of disagree
ment. All have not done so, for some who ap
plauded bur course last spanner in opposition to
such a scheme while it was only in anticipation,
denounced us post-haste, when they ascertained
Mr. Calhoun’s friendship for it at tho extra scss
sion of Congress in September. If “Burke”
f: knew tho extent to which wo have been subject
ed to flattery on the one band and threats 611 the
' to/her, either to per.-uade or drive us into its sup*
ie would think that the degree of forbear
’hich wo have exercised, was quite as
js could be expected of us. In reference
letters of our Washington Corrcspon
we say once fur all, that whenever
iresses an opinion in reference to men
tsures, wc publish it for what it is worth;
ir columns are free to those who disa*
nth him, to combat it. If “Burke” has
t constant reader of our paper ho must
icon that we have published twice a B
in communications, in favor of the Sub
ury as against it. Does lie forget the long

Mu KtitrUn . —A perusal of the communica
tion of “ Cato” and your editorial remaiks there
on, has given rise to some reflections, for which
we ask a place in the columns of your paper.
Like Cato,'our hope that the difference of opinion
among State Rights men upon the sub-Treasury
Dill might not divide the party, “is reduced to
the faint glimmeiing of a distant and fading star.”
Like him, we are filled with the deepest regret at
the least approai hto such an event. To us it
seems that the question might have been discuss
ed in such a manner as to have avoided such a
catastrophe. If the disputants had confined
themselves to the merits of the question, and se
dulously avoided all denunciation and reproach,
of those who differed from them, the integrity of
ihe republican parly would not have been je
opardized—unfortunately, the discussion has
been conducted otherwise, and it becomes us
now, to enquire at w hose door the sin lies, of dis
turbing the harmony of the parly. You, sir, de
clare that “if those who believe in the expedien
cy of the sub-Treasury scheme, attempt to force
the parly into a support of that measure, by ma
j king it a test question of political orthodoxy
then, at their door lies the sin of dismembering
, the parly.” Now, this we understand as an in
direct charge against the friends of the sub-Trea-
Sury scheme, of a disposition to make that mea
sure a test question. So far as its friends in
Georgia are concerned’, we believe the charge to
he unfounded. What State Rights papers have
denounced tfie dpponents of the sub-Treasury
Bill] Whore are the communications in which
they are “read out of the parly?” Have you not
scores of subscribers among those who are oppo
sed to you in this matter, who have shown no
disposition to denounce yon for your course?
Where shall we find the evidence in supi o t of
the charge? I f any of the friends of the sub-
Treasury Bdl have at any time shewn a spirit of
hostility, it has been ex'cited by the manner in
which their couVko and opinions have been as
sailed. Whilst they have exhibited a spirit of
forbearance to the opponents of the measure,
what has been the course of the miter? Look to
the files of your hWn 'paper, peruse attentively
your own t'dulorials—the communication of your
“Washington correspondent,” of Cato, and iho
other opponents ot the measure. What do you
find there? Candid investigation of the finani
ciai '4,nd political business of the scheme? No
sir—-The leading object seems to be to frighten
Stale Rights men from the support of measure
by charging Van Burcnism upon its advo l> * l ' s '
and to destroy their Respect for Mr c, - ,lloun by
charging him faith jnconsistenv• abandon
ment of principle. For his support ot the measure,
Mr Calhoun is sligm«hzed as disallected to the
pany “« proselyte to tho administration, and a
deserter f rom Stale Rights principles.” Thefie
charges have been made, and reiterated time after
time, nfiJ if (hey are true to hdk, then it J al
lows irretisMbly that alt -who agree with him
'in relationlo the measure arc alike guilty. —
In the very articles which express the deepest
regret at a bare approach to discussion in the
Stale Rights ranks, the whole mass of the State
Rights men who advocate the sab-Treasury
Scheme are proclaimed traitors to their parly,
indiYeclly it may he, yet palpably and intelligibly,
as if each individual was mentioned by name.
From a review of the whole history of the dis
ussion of the suh-Treasnry scheme, theimpar-
f ,a observer will have no difircally in determin

In the House of Representatives. Mr. C, bre .
leng proposed to amend the Bill for Di g,,
seamen Abroad, by increasing the sum b, e
appropriated for the protection of seamen, fi
thirty thousand dollars, as proposed in the
to forty thousand dollars.
Mr. ADAMS complained that it had noth
I shown to he clearly necessary to appropriati
i | arg c an additional sum to that already appro
| ated for this ohjcct at the extra scirion.
' rvan’cd an inquiry into the subject.
j It was also objected by Mr. A. H. Sheppard,
I that the accounts of the officers employed to dis
burse this money, us foreign consuls &c. were
j not before tb.9 rfouke; and that an investigation
| of these accounts should be had.
Mr. HOWARD attributed the necessity of
making an additional appropriation for this ob
ject to the dillerence of exchange, which has
made the expenditure greater, and which will
have the same ellbct for some time to come.
Mr. A 11. SHEPPARD contended that the
great sin in this matter is (hat sums are repre
sented us being 1 expended, which are yet in the
hands of disbursing officers. Hu was for an in
quiry into this subject-
Air. PHILIPS made statements to show that
there had latterly been a great increase in tb'o
number of cases, calling lor the expenditure of
this appropriation, and to demonstrate the neces
sity of the proposed amendment.
Some explanations ensued, between Messrs.
Cambtelcng, A. H. Sheppard, and Adams, as to
the mode of remitting, drawing, and disbursing
the bind for the rviicl of distressed seamen.
The question was then taken on the proposed
amendment, ayes-14, noes 19; no quorum was
present.
Mr REED rose to move tfjat the House ad
journ, and culled lor the yeas And nays, with the
’ view of ascertaining Who are present. He should
vote against adjournment.
The yeas and nays were ordered and the
House refused to adjourn by the following vole:

chair, and the amendment under consideration
was adopted without a division.

shall be made lor the collection and disbursement
ot the public revenue in gold and silver. Treasury

Mr CAMBRELING objected that this amend
ment was not in order, as to the hill under
: consideration, under the rules of the House.

Mr BELL louk an appeal from this decision.

After some miscellaneous business of a private
nature, the Senate look up the Sub Treasury bill:
and Mr SOUTHARD delivered an exceedingly
able and instructive speech against the measure.
M.
WASHIGTGN, March 22 1838.
Air. SOU i'HARD rose and before commen
cing on the main subject, wished to refer for a
moment to the manner in which he had been at
tacked in the official organ of the Executive.
He.wished simply to stale that he should id-*'
it within the hotly of his remarks, as ro- Bs
a matter of record, to show the co-"' es y a, “* r(JS '
pect and decency with wipe l ' ,jcllli ' ors were trea
ted, who although di* '“8 from llle administra
tion stood here • jUvocale lhu views and feelings
of their
-ivio article alluded to is the following from
the Globe of this morning.
“Mr. SOUTHARD bold forth to day. He is a
siirecurist of Mr. Biddle. Hu is the President of
the Aforris Canal Bank—a shaving and stockjob
bing establishment bought up by the Biddles,
who gave Mr Southard * i.v thousand dollars
salary as head of the institution. This sum he
is expected to earn for his employers by services
in the Senate of the United Slates. Os course
his speech must be violent vindictive and as full
of misrepresentation as possible, as it is the only
requital he can make to the owers of his bank,
unless perchance his vote should have the elide
of restoring the depositee to them.”
Mr. SOUTHARD continued speaking until
3 o’clock, when having concluded there was an
unanimous call for the question on Air. Rives
substitute.
The question was then taken and resulted in
its rejection, ayes 20 nays 29—three Senators,
Bayard, Preston and Price, being absent.
Borne desultory conversation ensued between
Messis, Brown, Calhoun, Wright and Cuthbcrl,
on the propriety of reconsidering the votes in or
der to give the absentees an opportunity to record
their votes. '
Without dissent the vote was reconsidered
and the absent Senators having taken their scats,
the vote was again taken, which resulted in full

The resolution offered on the 19th by Mr.
Fillmore, calling on the President for in forma -
tion in relation, ly the capture of the steamboat
Caroline, at Srhlosser was taken up.
Mr McKIM said ilie President was no doubt
doing ever j thing in his power on the subject,
as the Chaiinnui of the Committee on Fo
reign delations wfts absent, ho would move to
postpone the subject till tomorrow. To press
the subject he said would tend to widen the
breach and to show an uneasy feeling on the
part of the House. Ho was wholly opposed to
the adoption ot the resolution, inasmuch as the
gentleman had taken the proper steps in relation
to the subject, and in a few weeks we should
hajphefoie us in a regular way.
Mr FILL.MfMiE urged the adopting of the
hill. The affair hud now slept for three mdiilh »
and it embraced a question of national tight, it
not of national power. If the communication
would lie attended with any injury to the public
interests, the President, would withhold it.
Mr, ADAMB hoped the resolution Would he
passed. He believed that the publication of the
facts by this Government, would serve to allay
the irritation existing in both countries in rela
tion to this subject. The facts on the subject
now cauio to Us from Upper Canada. This was
impair. I'l the President jiot), lilt) information,
it should be laid before Congress, instead of
Congress getting the information from documents
communicated to the Canadian Parliament.
Mr McKIM said, thu negotiation on the sub
ject had now been transferred to London, and to
agitate the matter bore would do no good.
Mr FILLMORE remarked that his constitu
ents had a deep feeling on this subject; but if
they could see that the Government was taking
proper steps, they would feel very Cosy in regard
to it, if there was any danger of collision with
Great Uritnin on this subject, it was proper that
it should he known in lime, for it should bo re
collected there was not now a single fortification
on that frontier.
Mr FLETCHER, of Vermont, urged the
speedy adoption of the resolution. The motion
to postpone was lost, and the resolution was a
greed to. Scv.ral Senate bills were read and
referred.
The House went again into Committee of the
Whole. (Mr Casey io the Chair) making appro
priations for the civil and diplomatic expenses of
the United States for the year 1838.
The question being on the motion of Mr Hal
stead, to strike out thu item of $4OOO, for a jet
d’eau oji the west side of the cupitul.
Mr H. said it would not look very well, nor
sound well for the Government to be borrowing
ten or fifteen millions to pay necessary expenses,
and at the same time, expending so much money
to pay for their jets d’eau for mere squirts as they
were in fact. What would the democracy of the
country say to so useless an expenditure at u
time of such general distress. If such a propo
sition had been made in t]ic administration of the
gentleman from Massachusetts, the country
would have rung with it for six months as it did
with the fifty dollar billiard table and the gor
geous furniture of the cast room. Mr 11. spoke
at some length on the subject taking a view of
the origin, changes, names, and dates of par
ties,
I Aftci Mr. H. closed his remi'rks, the commit
tee ruse and the House adjourned. M.

Andreui Stevenson, the American Minister,
Sir J Duke, (Chairman of the committee ap
pointed to communicate tho resolutions of the
last court for conferring the freedom of London
on the American Minister) reported that the
deputation had wailed on Mr Stevenson, and
presented him with a copy of the resolutions
wiih the following address:—
Sir—We, as members of Hie Court of Loid
Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of tho city of
London, have been deputed to communicate to
you, that a Court held on the 10th instant it
was unanimously agreed to confer upon you the
freedom of our ancient city,by the accompanying
resolutions, which we have the honor to place
jin your hands. Perhaps you will allow us, tho
deputation to express the high satisfaction we
feel in being hunoicd to wait upon you on this
occacion, and the pleasure it affords us to state
our entire concurrence irj the sentiments embodi
ed in the resolutions of ikp Court which virfcre,
the result of a requisition of the Lord M ayor
signed by no less than IS aldermen and 83 coin-
Ctoners in a few hours.
“ft is our anxious hope that you may long he
spired to adorn and benefit your native country
by your virtues and services, and that you may
long live to witness that which we feel confident
is nearest your heart—an increase of the pros
perity and friendship which now happily subsist
between the United Stales of America and this
empire, on terms of honour and advantage to
both countries.”
To that address Mr: Stevenson made tho fol
lowing reply :
“Gentlemen, I receive with deep sensibility
these proceedings of the Court of Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, and Commons ot the city of London
conferring upon me the freedom of their city us a
mark ot respect for my public and private char
acter. Entertaining as I do a high and just
sense of so distinguished an honour, I need not
say how gratified I sjiOdld have been to have had
it in my poweir to accept it in tho manner propol
scd. This, however, 1 am no/ at liberty to do
under /he constitution and usages of my coun
try, and the rules prescril>ed for the government
of its diplomatic functionaries in their intercourse
with foreign »a/ions. In declining, therefore, as
J rcspcr/fully do, /ho freedom of your ancient
ami renowned city, I pray you, gentlemen, to as.
sure the Common Council and freemen of I,on.
don, that I am not less deeply and gratefully sen
sible of the distinguished honour which they
have been pleased to offer me, enhanced as it is
by tho motives which prompted it,and the sen.
it was intended to convey.
“It Is an honor which any man might justly be
proud of, and one which I shall cherish as among
the most gratifying incidents of my public tile.
“I concur with you, gentleman, in the wish
you express that peace arid-good under; landing
may long be preserved between Great Britain and
tho United States. I peed not dwell upon the
obvious and bowerful inducements for cultivating
those pMceful and friendly relations, the value
of whibh ib no* hits Heti»r understood thvn in I
your great city. Every tiling in the history of
the two countries is calculated to inspire senti
ments of mutual esteem anil respect, and to con
vince the liberal and enlightened of both countries
that their true interests are those of peace.
“Such I know to ho the disposition of the
Government and people of the United Slates, and
I speak with great confidence when 1 assure you
that perpetual friendship with Great Uiitam on
terms consistent with the rights and honor of both
is what my country most cordially and sincerely
di sire, and that I can in no manner belter fulfil
my duties or serve my country, than in doing
every thing in my power to cherish and invigo
rate the peaceful relation which now so happily
subsist between the countries, and upon the pres
ervation of which so essentially depend the pros
perity and happiness us ho It. To this and my
efforts have been unceasing, and it is to this
aion'o, I ant unite sure, that 1 am indebted, not
only for that khAf'e Which I have the happiness
to believe I hold in the esteem and good opinion
of your community hut for all the kindness oml
hospitality I have received during my residence
among them.
•I pray you, gentlemen, to convey to your hon
orable associates my best wishes for tho welfare
and prosperity of your ancient ami enterprising
city, and to accept for yourselves individually,
my grateful a'clhowledgsments for the very flat
tering manner in which you have been pleased
to communicate these proceedings, and tho inte
rest you so kindly express in my futu o happi

The answer W,as received with cheers, and it
was unanimously rckdlvcd that the report and
answer should be entered upon the journals of
