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 is of Baldwin and I’ublictJla, which filled ipet to such an extent of our rs supposed that we end'//. j mnn IWe seldom written on tjf “ ' l t ';'"Lurselves, ave never pressed upod' ~ :n «oarty our ana on the bank question, acting c mj. i| ie iple that while we will not altertipliy urgh loctrincs likely to destroy the haim ategrity ol the party, we will neversuppoi ic sake of any party, any ufcasure which honestly believe be fraught with ruin e best interests of the country—such we ve the vu o 'Treasury scheme to be.

[von Titr. ciiitomcLK ixd skstiskl.] 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.

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: yeas 9, nays 121. A quorum appearing, Mr Corey resumed the chair, and the amendment under consideration was adopted without a division. patmknt or Artists.

Treasury notes, or other evidences of debt issued under the authority of the United Stales to the exclusion of current batik notes, shall bccumo the law of the land.” Mr CAMBRELING objected that this amend ment was not in order, as to the hill under : consideration, under the rules of the House. 1 ho Chair decided it not to be in order. Mr BELL louk an appeal from this decision. Phe question upon sustaining the decision of the Chair was taken by tellers, and resulted ss follows ■ ayes 06, noes 57. Bo the Chair was sustained in its decision, and the amendment was declared not to bo in order. The House adjourned at 4 o’clock. 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.

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.

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.
