Mr. BOND of Ohio, pursued Ida renmka tin
the aubjert, shewing in a very striking and forci
ble manner, the extravagance end favoritism of
ibis administration which boasts of its conformity
to republican principle*.
At the usual hour, the House proceeded to the
consideration „f the orders of the day-ornate
bills.
Just before they were taken up, Mr. Hopbine
of Vs. an independent member rose, uni gave
notice that if Mr. Hamer did not call np his reso
lution relative to tho resumption of specie pay
menu by the Hanks and the duty of General Go

'{•earanco of the man, added to the fact that he
never speaks hut to "object” to something, caused
looil laughter.
HAMER has been whipped into the parly

declared ho would, press his resolution, and follow

WASHINGTON, April 16, IS3S.
In (he House of Representatives to-day, im
mediately after the journal was read, Mr. HA
MER, of Ohio, rose and asked leave to make an
• iplanation. Leave having been granted, ho
proceeded with »ome circumlocution to tell us
that his object in presenting his resolution rela
tive to the resumption by the banks was not to j
operate against the letter of Biddlo—or to effect
the chatter election of New York—hut aimply
to give to tho Hank Convention selling in Now
York •omc aaaurances of the designs of the ad- 1
ministration. Ho hdjeved the Administration,
and Congress, and the Treasury, were not hos
tile to the Banka, end he wished to produce
that impression on the Convention. Hamer
waa proceeding in this style, atffu/iiing the
matter, when Mr. BELL of Tcnr.., rose end
asked whether it was understood that the ar
gument of the Ohio member should be allowed
to go forth without any reply.
The Chair replied that Hamel had the per
mission of the House to apeak.
Mr. BELL—"Then since the member is go
ing to deeply into (he subject, let him state
fairly what specific measure of relief for the
country he proposes! What does he in'eiid to
do, Let him give a candid and intelligent an
swer.
Hamer went on, but he gave no account of ‘
the specific measure ho proposed, lie iiilksd ;
however of the assurances which he had inten
ded to have given to the Bank Convention,
having been given by tho Secretary of the
Treasury, and by the Government official paper.
At this point he was interrupted by Mr SHEU
ROD WILLIAMS of Kentucky, who protested
against Mr Hamer's proceeding in this strain.
Me had no objection to Hamer explaining lit*
own course, but hr waa against his setting up
formal apologies for hi* whole political patty;
ond (or the Globe newspaper.
Hamer said. "I have made all the remarks I
intended. For these reasons 1 will not move
the consideration of my resolution.”
When Mr Hamer look his seal, Mr MENU
FEE attempted to address the House, but the
P' rmisaion so freely extended to Hamer was rc
fused to him. The party interposed to shield j
their tool from the scathing he would probably j
have received from Menefee.
Mr HAMER will hereafter go bv the name )
of the ’Great Whipped lion!'
Tho House then proceeded to the usual
business of Monday—the presentation of reso
lutions. An immense number was offered
from the different States, among which was otic
that comes strictly borne to tho official editor.

Resumption of Specie Payments.
10 A'O 11.
r ' r.\Yr.TTcvi111, Go. April 7, IS3B.
Is ihe mere outline I have drawn of the evils
- to he apprehended from a resumption of specie
payrncnls at all exaggerated! I think not.—
- Turn we then to the other side of the question.
H hat is the good to be reasonably hoped from
ir! Really I see none. That it can he an no*
r tool and positive resumption, such as to place
the paper upon any thing like an equal fooling
n with specie, >is altogether out of the question,
n and oil rise is delusion—a mere farce. As to
1 a mere nominal resunrplion, where is the utility
of it? 'The specie payment* which existed pro
vious to the suspension, so cai>J, was merely
j nominal. And where was tho real Use *> r henc
i fit of it? Who drew specie, or dared W *lr* s0 >
that was in tho slightest degree interested in' o. r
dependent on tho Ranks?—-and who is not, more
I or L'hsl But the growing necessity of having
specie, on the part of many, to pay certain debts
i "Inch nothing else would, was forcing upon
the Banks on actual, practice of what they
merely professed. The impossibility of the one,
I shewed tho true value of tho other, and what
was really suspended—the profession only.
Is it nt all desirable to return to eu.-h a stale of
things’ Abt a whit. The currency has actual
ly improved, under (be suspension, since it has
been greatly contracted, and grctflcr rcsponsibil
ily lias been felt and manifested; while it was
daily expanding and-growing worse and worse,
prcvicusly. A merely nominal resump ion, then,
is altogether ridiculous, and if it cculd be effort,
ted, would bo injurious, since, as heretofore, it
would encourage expansion, irresponsibility,
delusion, and false confidence, both in the
Ranks and lire people, and end ir. another end
far worse suspension.
I foci fully warranted in saying, that nothing
but a nominal resumption can possibly be de
signed, since nothing mote is possible. And can
such an oho be Sustained? Will it be submitted
tot Can tho people be again put oft by mere
j professions of specie payments. Their confi
dence in Banka is greatly impaired; lh«ir pre
judices against them strengthened; and they
j manifest a general determination to draw upon
J them for specie when a resumption is decla cd.
, When shown the consequences of auch a course
to themselves, they are alarmed, and sav they
j would, for their own part, fain avoid it; but that
they know others wiH trot, if they do, and unless
all do so there would be no real use in it, and
they would only injure themselves by waiting,
without averting tho general mischief to be ap
prehended. I have carefully enquired into
their opinions, and none probably has had bet
ler opportunities; and where they understand the
• j true state of things they do not hesitate to pre
: lor a continuance of the suspension (so long as
i j the Ranks continue in good faith to gradually
contract their issues,) to a moro nominal re
i sumption, or any a'lcmpt at actual resumption
j which would be liable to failure.
But, what if an actual resumption were pos
i siblc, i* it desirable, in the present condition ol
| the country, and general indebtedness of the
(people? W hat would he tho consequences ol
it? A sudden and violent contraction, to the
extent of one half, at least, and probably two
j thirds, and of course a necessary reduction in
the price of property, to an equal extent—a mere
i nominal reduction, it is true, since the real rlfcct
I would be an actual rise in the valuo of money
; when its quantity was thus reduced, so that
| f being the measure of value, the quantity ol
1 properly continuing the same, and the means
: of purchasing it reduced one half or two-thiids;)
1 one dollar would of necessity, consequently pur
' chase as much as two or three now. Under
I this Mite of things, debtors generally, cither to
the Bank or others, who borrowed during the
expansion of lira currency, and pay after its
contraction. Would return virtually, twice oi
~ three times as much As they received ! That is,
| i? would tttke twice or three timds ns much ol
their property, to pay the money, as they
bought, or could have bou’ht with it when they
received it: As, for instance, A borrows from
i|Uj|ik, or any other source, one thousand dob
' lars, with which be buyk and pays for a negro,
and when the contraction takes place, and
money becomes thus scarce, the negro will sell
for only five hundred dollars, or perhaps three
| hundred and fifty, and thus he has to sell two
or three negroes to pay the money which
’ I’uhgh*. onlv otic. Precisely the same result
v. or.ld "c U!, if he bought die rrgro, ,m
other propeily,) on a credit, under such circum.-
stances.
T ' Now, hare not the people generally been buy.
’ ing property under the late iteming rise of it, but
Pj C real fall in the value of the money in which they
cs paid, or promised to pay for it? and do they not
still owe for it, in whole or part, cither to the sel-
ler or the Banks? Haa not that inordinate spirit
n of speculation which was excited by the expan.
er sion of the currency, and kept pace with it na it
ct increased, been the general order of the day, and
pervaded oil classes of community, but mainly
ij the enterprising and industiio'us, wh'o were delu.
dod by false‘promises’into hopes and expecta
is tions altogether delusive, mischievous, and ruin
ous?—hopes which could never be realized, ex*
j e cept by the fortunate few—erected,as they were,
at upon that •‘baseless fabric Os a vision,” an irro
ut definable paper currffncy. Property seemed con.
T" tinually rising, and thus invited to speculation
n . and promised wealth, while, in fact, it was no
thiiig more than the paper-money measure of it
continually increasing and depreciating.
Wo cannot, then, now strike at the Banks,
n- without striking at the people; and consequently,
ce opposed ns lam to the former, my sympathies
ie with the latter prompt me to suspend that oppo
(. sit ion till the present embarrassments shall have
■y passed away. Phis position I took when the
Northern Banks first suspended,bcinglhen among
u the first to recommend and approve a suspension
;g by oars —and though it excited much surprise
among my anti-Bank friends, I soon shewed them
II that it arose from no change of feeling toward
the Banks. General ruin and desolation mutt
e
have inevitably resulted from any other course
than suspension, which was a measure, not
choice, bu* absolute necessity; and to have oppo.
sod it Would have been to oppose the interests
and welfare of the whola community. The
Banks and the people were alike involved in the
common danger, for both had run together a
carper of mutual confidence and reckless spccu
lalion; and tho' both ?ntist suffer the consequen
ces of their misconduct, they may bo greatly mi
tigated by prudence and reflection, and especially
by considering our own portion of error and nc
, countability, as well as that of others. The
Banks deserve punishment, and they will have
it in due lime, for these things will he retridinhered
against them in lime to come; and if wo writhe
and fiot because we cannot now visit the conse*
0
qucnces on them alone, is it more than we have
1 “ right to expect —more than sheer justice?
If the suspension was necessary and desirable,
even to the people, us well as the Banks, do not
the same causes which operated to that effect,
still cor tinuo in a very great tho’ less degree, and
especially at the South; for, while the foreign
t xc'.hangcs no longer operate materially against
the jNu.'th, the domestic exchanges arc excessively
high agai.nt'* the South, and would inevitably force
a demand for t*oecie,lo ship, in preference of pur.
chasing drafts. x ant of confidence in Banks,
’ too, would cause a dc Hand even where it was no
needed, and before li’.is .'eased some would inevi
( tably give way, which W.’ulincrease the general
suspension, even against all, °* cour,sc conti
, nue the de and, perhaps to the 3 com
mon and general point of view, the P< r . oor ourren *
,ey is still redundant, and the indebted/ 16 ''* lo l^e
Banks immense, at the North, ns welt ag l “ e
South, thohgh the latter may have been lees 6nei *
}
in a greater degree at the North, by the great.. r
t extent of commercial failures. To enforce a sud
den conlractidn of either, as already shown, must
, spread union and desolation through the whole
I debtor portion of society. I cannot therefore be
lieve that the Northern Banks will generally re
, sumeinMay; for the popular confidence cannot
. be sufficient to forbear a run upon them, 6r their
i specie every where sufficient lo meet it; and an
il less it can be general, it cither will not be kttempt
c el, in part, or must fail where it is. I understand
. the resumption law of New York to require a
ii resumption absut the middle of May, and doubt
v less that Hate, from vatriobs peculiar causes, will
n be better prepared to resume than any other; but
1. still, unless the surrounding states unite With her
e (which docs not aeein probable,) she will either
avoid the danger of resuming alone, and throw
it herself again on the mercy of the Legislature,
s or probably be again compelled to suspend,
j However, let the Northern Banks act as they
may, 1 would have the Southern ones act inctc
, pendcntly of them, and take their cou-so with
0 reference lo Southern interests only, and Southern
circumstances. Such has been and will be tho

y circumstances in each section not common to|both'i
