Objection hav ing been made to the consideration at this time, the resolution will lie over till Mondav The resolution ofMr. Hopkins of Vn„ for <A •varciny the Government from tho Newspaper Treat; and providing that the printing required for Congress and the Executive Departments shall be done by practical workmen, and not giv. en to any editor of a public Journal, w... h 6„„ taken (ip. 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 vernment to aid end support them, he (Mr. Hop kins) would move that it be taken up and con.iJ ered. That odd old caricature from Term, in a hronJ ,flm lu, r alon K queue,and clothes of anno domi no one, Mr. Petriken, inruntlv rose, end enid "I Ktve not.ee that I will object I'"’ The whole 0 p '{•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 ’anks again. For a while |,e stood out, urn) pro. f«..ed to ho very i,.dependent and*ll that, and declared ho would, press his resolution, and follow “ up With a hill for carrying Us principles into practical effect ; and that he would not yield ei (her to the solicitations or measures of the party For. day or two pa,t, however, his conduct ha, hern very suspicious ; Ho has put off calling up Ins resolution without any good reason. Last evening ho w.. informed by a„„ JC of tho conscrv. stive, that if lm did noteal, it up, one o, then. ”° U ‘‘° 11 for lllm - ~B fhon-promised that ho WJ ul d 0,1 Mo " d «y next cither call it up, or grve •Inese gentlemen an answer which would le.ve them at liberty to -aka any course in relation to it they may think proper. Mr. Hopkins gave ht. not.ee to day for the purpose of forcing , llm take the cour.a from which he cannot f..l lo adopt without a loss of character. If he ,I,«M rail it up on Monday, it will he because 1,0 ha s been fo.ced to do so. There .. great reason how ever to believe that he will not call it up. The House went mto'Comnmlec of the M'holo on ptivals hills : and was engaged in business of (hat character during the remainder of the day. j M. j 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. Francis Preston Blair. It calls on tho Post Master General to sr.y whether a judgment ren dered in 16’’4 ac-iinsl that person for default, when he was a :a U • been c -Heeled; -ltd a'.-o tu - «tr • uu . . umi,.i 9 /of money has been paid to t! ii.l Hloir so I printing ordered l.y the Depunm nt, aince tti 3 rendering of the judgment, ami tbo return of th writ el execution.

[foii tiu cunovictE ami ssxti.iel] 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 c course ot the North, without reference to South. eni interests; and there are unquestionably many y circumstances in each section not common to|both'i y which may well justify and require separate ac. fl° c - Ido not mean to say that a resumption at M ( h° North should not have very great influence on the South, toward following it* example; only j. lh»l it should not be positive and imperative, a* ,f to lime. I have no idea that the South will or |C can long continue the suspension, after the North ,(• resumes; hut it is incumbent on her to consider e the matter in some degree with reference to her j. own interests, rather than wholly by an act die* lated only by the interests of the North. The e propriety of this must be obvious, on reflection 1 , t But 1 fear, Mr. Editor, lam pressing too much , t upon your kindness, in the present No., and will lt therefore reserve a continuance of tke reasons for it till my next.
