And on Tuesday Mr. William I'aylor was unanimously re-elected President, year of his age, [FROM OCR ConnKSPONDKST.] WASHINGTON, May 12, IS3B. . Two most important propositions wore made in the House of Representatives to-day: which show most strikingly how entirely unfounded and false are the pretences of the party and its organs that the opposition are fnctinusly refusing to grant the supplies necessary to dischaige the claims ol the public creditors. Mr. HOPKINS, of \' i.. asked for a suspension of the rules, in order to enable him to offer a joint resolution authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue two millions of dollars accord ing to the provisions of the act of October. This motion was rejected by the voles of Administra tion members, though it was well calculated to give immediate relief to the Administration, and meet all immediate exigencies. Mr. BELL, of Tcnm, then moved to.suspend the rules, in order to enable him to move that the Committee of Ways ami Means, he instructed to report a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Trea sury to make a loan of au amount of mil lions of dollars to meet the demands upon Gov ernment, which there arc no IVtnds in the Treas ury to satisfy. CAMBRELING rose and expressed his deci ded opposition to every measure of this kind. This proposition was also voted down; every Administration member going against it. The House then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, and took up'the Treasury Note Dill. Gen. THOMPSON, ol S. C., finished his able speech against the measure. Mr. Rhett, of S. C., followed : and defended the course of the Ad ministration ! and supported the hill. Mr. MENEFEE, of Ky., replied to him with great force and spirit. Mr. SOUTHGATE then said he wished to ad' dress the Committee upon this rpicstion, and lie moved that the committee (at 4 o’clock) do now rise. Avcs 80 Nays lE. So the committee rei loused to rise. Mr SOUTHGATE then proceeded in oppo sition to the bill, and was followed by Mr. Hop kins who moved a suhsliiuto for tfto whole bill, empowering the President of the United Slates to lie rrow on the credit of the United Slates a sum of $ 10,000,000 at a rale of interest of G per cent, payable quarterly, and reimbursable at the will of the Government, to lie applied in addition to the moneys [now in the Treasury or wh.ch may lie received therein from other sources, to defray the expenses of the Government and to be transferable by slock. The foregoing was the substance of the first section of Mr. H’s amend ment. The remainder was of great length , sub stantially the same as the project of Mr. Rives in the Senate, being the revival of the Slate Hank system by twenty-five banks to bo selected by the Secretary of the Treasury and approved of by the Senate. During the reading of this amendment’ Mr. Camlireling railed a question of order, as to the admissibility of the amendment under the bill before the committee. The Chair decided the amendment to bo out of order. The debate on the bill was then continued by Messrs Hell, Canibroling, Robertson, Mason and Johnson. Mr. Johnson continued his remarks until a quarter before ten o’clocc when he gave way to Mr. Harper of Ohio, who made some remarks in opposition to the bill as reported by the Chairman | of the Committee of Ways and Means, and at a quarter before 11 o’clock gave way to Mr Coffin’ who moved that the committee lise. Ayes 86’ Noes 87. I Mr. HARPER resumed and continued until (at 2 minutes before 12) he gave way to Mr. Re- i hertson who appealed to gentleman who profess ( ed to have regard for tho Sabbath, not to violate | their creed by compelling tiie House to sit on ( that day. By doing so they would bring the ere- , dit of the country into contempt. If however the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means f would say that the Government could not get on t for one day, he would consent to this course. Not otherwise. He moved that the coramittpe j rise. Ayes BIJ Noes 83. , Mr. HARPER proceeded until 5 minutes after ( 12 o’clock, when Mr. Chambers rose to order. He . made the point that it being the Sabbath day, the House ought not to do business. The Chairman decided that it was in order to sit after 12 o’clock, if the Committee so desired, Mr. CHAMBERS took an appeal. Mr. POPE did not deny that Sunday was a legislative day, if the House should make it so- But the Speaker ought to take the Chair and de cide this point. He would therefore, for this purpose, move tho Committee rise. (This was a quarter after 12 o’clock.) Yeas 83, nays 82. The. Chair voted in the negative and tho vote was lost. Mr, EVERETT hoped that those who held the opinion that tho House, under the present circumstances, ought not to sit on the Sabbath, would, with him, retire from the Hall. Ho should do so with perfect respect to the House, and should not again he found in it until Monday, at 11 o’clock, unless brought in in tho custody of the Sergeanl-at-Arms. Mr. BRIGGS thought it Was impossible to get ahead at all in the present mode of doing busi ness. Tho two parties’to this question were hy ing their strength without any prospect of suc cess to either, He hoped that the Committee would consent to rise, and come together with better feelings on another day. Mr. MORGAN was in favor of rising, and ad • ourning. He believed no good could come of a i jonger se-sion to night. He would be among th» I last to adopt this course on ftny other night, but i he now fell constrained to move that the Com* | initlec rise (ten minutes before one) —yeas 82 nays 70. So the Committee decided to rise. The SPEAKER look the Chair at five mi-1 ; nous before one o’clock, and Mr BRIGGS moved that tile lloutc Jo now adjourn- The yeas aiul nays were demanded by several voices, and ordered. The House ala quarter past one o'clock on Sunday morning decided to adjourn by the fol lowing vole—yeas Bn, nays 72. And then the House adjourned. The Senate after a very short sitting, adjourned without transacting any business of an impor tant character. Al. WASHINGTON, May Uih 1838 In my letter of yesterday, I gave you a sketch of the proceedings of the House of Roprcsentn.. lives, during the extraordinary Saturday night and Sunday morning session. Tbo Administra tion party had held a cancus; ami each member look a solemn pledge that so far as his vote could contribute, the Treasury Note Hill should be pres sed through before Saturday’s sitting was brought to a close. It was determined on, also, that Mr. Rhelt of S. G, should make the only Speech in support of the bill, after that of Mr. Cumbrcling- Mr. Illicit assuming to be a neutral, they thought would produce a great effect against Ihe opposi tion il he could succeed in exhibiting the Whigs in the attitude of factious opponents of the bill— of refusing the necessary supplies to sustain the public credit, and discharge the obligations of Government. To ibis task Mr. RHETT devo ted himself; and bis new allies greatly rejoiced ns they imagined ho bad produced that clTbct. But Ihe reply of Mr. Mencfoe, of Ky„ sent al l their vain imaginations to the deuce in a moment. Ho turned the tables upon them,and showed up the Administration in its true attitude of threa tening to stop!—if the House would not give the supplies in the particular form prescribed by the Executive! The Administration party voted down two distinct propositions to give the Admi nistration relief: and took the position that unless Congress would give them the Treasury Note Bill, they would take nothing. Immediately after thcJouihd was road, today, Mr. BOON of Indiana moved to suspend the rules for the purpose enabling him to offer a reso lution providing that there shall ho no discrimi nation after the first of -June, 1838, in the kind or description of currency receivable in the pay ment of the different branches of the public re venue, for publis lauds, customs, or the dues of Govern rttent. Mr. CAMDRELING objected; and called on Boon to withdraw bis proposition; but the re quest was not attended to. The motion required a vote of two thirds. There appeared for it Ayes U 5. Nays 53.—50 the motion was lost. It was remarkable that a proposition to repeal in effect the Specie Circular should come from so unscrupulous an adherent of the Administration as Ralliffe Boon. On motion ofMr, CAM DUELING, the House then resolved itself into Committee of the whole, and took up the Treasuty Note Bill. Mr. HAR PER of Ohio was in possession of the floor when the House adjourned on - Sunday morning. He resumed and finished his remarks in opposi tion to the Bill. He contended for the (indispu table prerogative of ibis House to proscribe the form in which (be supplies shall be given to tbo Government. He expressed, as all tbo Whigs have uniformly done, the greatest readiness to give what may be necessary to maintain public credit, but insisted there was a choice of expedi ents as to the manner in which the money should be raised: and that the opponents of the Bill were not to ho charged with factious motives; and a disposition to embarrass the Government; sim ply because they would not agree that an issue of Treasury notes was ] referable to a loan. Mr. HAWES, of Ky., followed, also, in oppo. sition to tbo bill. Hchpd not spoken about sis. teen minutes, when he suddenly sunk to Ike floor, in a fainting fit. The incident created a great deal of confusion. Mr. HAWES soon re covered however; and was borne from the hall, Mr. DUNN, of Indiana, floor and spoko for upwards of two hours in opposition to the bill. The debate was continued by Mr. Goodo and Mr. Sergeant in opposition to the measure: but no question was taken up to the hour at which the Express Mail departs,—the House being stij| in Session, In the Senate to-day, several memorials re monstrating against the Treaty of New Echola with the Cherokee Indians, were presented by Messrs. KcKcan, Webster, and others. They were ordered to be printed and laid on the table Mr. WILLIAMS, of Maine, asked leave to ins troduce a Hill to authorise the running of the North Eastern Boundary Line of the U. Slates. He made a long and elaborate exposition of the provisions of the bill, and entered fully into do. tails anil facts connected with the history of the existing dispute between the United Stales and Great Britain. After he finished, Mr. WEBSTER moved that the motion for leave should be laid on the table; and that the report and resolutions, on the sulject, adopted by the Legislature of Massachusetts, which be pre sented a few days ago, should bo printed. Mr. Webster declared his intention to call up the subject on an early day; and give his views in relation to it. It was then laid on the table. The Senate,proceeded to the consideration of the Bill to continue the corporate existence of the Banks of the District of Columbia; and was engaged with it till the close of the sitting, with out coming to any decision thereon.

Again the great olfort which hits been made to decry the stock of the Pennsylvania institu tion, which succeeded by what lias been uHedged to be a conspiracy in reducing that stuck at unu time to 108$ without tho shadow of a cause, has stimulated curiosity to examine inure particularly its condition. Wo have hern able to look at some of the fuels in the ease, vvhii h we commend to the attention of those who wish to understand i the true stale of things. Tho Government, d it will accept propositions which Mr Diddle n< President of the Pennsy Iva nia United Slab if kis understood to have prulferod, need hr coder no necessity of making an immediate ro issue of Treasury noteg, and can materially relieve Ih Treosmy. This I!.ink, we arc assuied on good authoiity but a week ago, olfered to anticipate the $2,000,000 doe the Trea sury in September next, nod the institution is willing, it is also staled, to make arrangements to anticipate all ils bonds amounting to $8,000,000 and thus, to balance accounts amicably and sio lisfactorily. Os course, under such an arrange ment ns this, there must be onion and harmony, and if it could be ell-eted, and it would lie, were it not for the false prole of the Government, a general resumption of specie payments might soon ho alluded, and the treasury to he materially relieved from a position, the must awkward, in which it was ever placed in a time of peace. Notwithstanding all the outcry that has heen made against the Pennsylvania institution os to credit and solvency, we see that it continues to fortify itself with specie preparatory to resinnp lion. On the first ofApril.it had in specie $13,91)0,000 And from New York 1,900,000 “via Pittsburg 1,200,000 $7,000,000 which it is accumulating without convulsions, without violent contractions, peaceably and in the way of business, while at tho same time it is his pride that not a solvent merchant has failed in Philadelphia.

JVickerbocker,] Nathan Utiles ‘Vailing, cre he saw the star of his country rise; pouring out, his generous blood like wa ter, before lie knew whether it would fertilize a land of freedom or of bondage; whereso ever among men a heart rhall he found, that’ beats to the transports of patriotism and li berty, its aspirations shall be to claim IcTndred with thy spirit.’ Wbiistek. There is a mournful pleasure in turning aside from Ihe active duties of life—in forget ting its busy hum and bustle—to contemplate the liv of those who. having acted the parts a. gto'd tiieni usefully and li- i-rably to t.-eni-. selves and their native land, have passed to the ‘undiscovered country.’ In examples wort y ever lo ho imitated and extolled, no land surpasses that of our birth. Without seeking, then, in foreign climes, or reviewing history for lit subjects of eulogy, we need only revert to a period dis tinguished in our own, to find some of the noblest monuments of bravery, heroism and virtue. Tho pages of Grecian or Roman his tory furnish gs with no brighter examples of pure and elevated patriotism, of disinterested arnblnun, of devoted attachment to country and her host interests, than is to bo (bund in that hour which ‘tried men’s souls’—the re • volhiiun ot 70. Upwards ot fifty years have now elapsed, since the American arm , in the person of Nathan Utile, lost one of its fairest (lowers. For more than half a cent ury, he lias lain in his cold grave, neglected and forgotten/ and while the names of many who have served their country, have been trumpeted by the breath of Fame throughout tne world, the name of him who died in its defence, has linen sulFured to fail; av ay front the memories of his countrymen. Born on the e\e of that awful tempest which shook the o d world 'o its very centre, he united at manhood hist a-' us gathering ■ t loads b< gau to concern irate in their wrath. , It was at this period in our country’s history, i that lie elo.-vd his academic course; and )m, i ving gradual- d at. a sister institution, it ia from • lli i hour we may date both les public and military career- , [ I'ludowcd with a u llll <l of no common mould, . Iho had gathered from the piths of science • her richest and sweetest flowers. Possessed ’ , | of genius rarely bestowed, and rightly guided - 1 f and directed by unusual taste and ardor in • I scientific attainment, hcheoame distinguished • ns a scholar. Beloved of ail who knew in in, ' for those traits which never full to excite es- I teem and affection, he was equally distm -5 guisla d lor the correctness of Ins moral*, the innocence of his habits, and purity ot Ins principles. In Ins manners, pleasing; in It in disposition j , mild and ingenuous; in Ins understanding, . vigorous an.l powerful, ho bade lair to arrive 1 at an eminence which few of n similar age I could hope th attain. Thus laVorcd of hen a von in the morning of hie, no one ever com menced to tread its chequered path with - brighter prospects Assisted and encouraged 0 m Ids career by the best wishes and heart felt prayers of his associates and friends, he 1 went forth to the fulfilment of Ins high desti " ny. Alas! how little did lie imagine that a 'Disappointment had marked him tor tier own!’ f The period had now arrived, when the se ' cret fires, long struggling in the breasts ot our fathers, burst from their confinement. The •friends of liberty had begun to rally in her defence, mid the slumbering spiriis of her i ° * pons were aroimu: 1 ‘Then said ihe mn,her In her son, ■ And pointed to bin nine lit, 1 Como with it, when the tmlllo's dune, Or on fl, from the field!’ The tinring spirits of Iho land had nssem-' 1 hied, and their cry was heard rising high above ’ the cannon’s roar: ‘Our country first — 1 Our country last —Our country!’ The voice of Nathan Hate was hoard in that cry. I lc had semi Ins country’s danger, and he was ] among the first to enlist in her defence. The flowery paths of science, intellectual honor, i and advancement—self mtbrent, picsoni hap piness, and the endearments ot home—wore all forgotten, and merged in one fueling—love ol country. Having obtained a commission in the ar- | my, lie commenced the active duties of a sol- . i dier, with the same vigor and activity which marked his character when engaged in the fields of literature. Prompt to every duly, i his influence here was us extensive us it had i boon in private life. ' i Passing over intervening events, wo now ' • arrive at One of the most critical epochs into > i winch the American army had ever fallen; ’ and ii was during this period, I.lml the fate ol I Male was scaled. The buttle of Long Island had been (might, and lor a little liitic, the I guardian spirit of freedom seemed to have withdrawn its protecting hand. Unlit was 1 only momentary. Under the guidance oflhc ' ‘Father of his C'oimliy,’ ihc army was led to ' a place of safely. To the prudence of Wash ' inglon, under (i«>o, are the people ot Amuiica 1 indebted for the rescue of their army at this 1 hour of its peril. Having retreated lb New York, it became a matter of moment to the commander in chief to itseortain the situation • of the .British forces; their strength, and their u future movements. It were needless to spu ” city the plan which was adopted to gain the 19 inlurillation desired. It is already familiar to the render. —The desire of Washington ho iug staled to Inn assembled officers they reti red to their meditations. Who amongst them y was willing to undertake a service so fraught u with danger! Among those officer*, was Nathan Halo. r After muiuro deliberation, impelled by a sense of duty, ho resolved to undertake Hie task. I Though urged by the pleadings of a fnund, not to undertake n service so hazardous, (us , mind still remained fixed and steadfast, and , no motive however powerful, could induce , him to neglect nu opportunity Jo ho useful lo tils country. Being told that his success was . extremely doubtful, and Ins danger iminiricni, . he replied, that,‘conscious of all tliis, ns ho ■ was, ho Would not consent to Withhold Inn f -emcee.’ Accordingly, he passed over to i the enemy, and succeeded, in obtaining the desired information. What must have been his feelings, now ' that he had performed Ids duly to Inn country! What emotions must have tilled Ins bosom, at the thought of returning to hw great comman der, the ♦minorlal Washington, laden with the fruits of his during enterprise? Indeed no re ward was expected, none was ottered to him who should undertake this task. No bribe of ■ promotion, no glorious prize, was hold out in | case ot success; but all that could bo gained, i at most, was the approving smile of the Baler 1 Batriie, and the thanks ol his countrymen ! 1 M'.;"!,’ disinterestedness, such patriotic ] devotion can only ’■ o found in the hearts of , those who, like him, could appreciate the blessings of freedom. 1 I But while such happy thoughts were pass ing in Ins mind : wlnlo Ins heart heat high with the expectation of a speedy return lo Ins lid low soldiers, and Ins f riends ; a sudden cloud dimmed the bright vision. Arrested by ihe 1 hand ol the enemy, lie was already beyond the 1 reach of nr rev. His object discovered, he frankly confessed it. The die was cast. He , was tried and convicted ; and now ho stands upon the scaffold, l.el us pause and fora mo j iiienl contemplate ihe awtul scene which is ( soon to close. Halm, collected (inn—no ser vice fear of death is marked upon his brow, i 1 Conscious (d uo guilt, how dignified Ins de- 1 ■ portmont! —how undaunted his courage! As he looks around upon the assembled multitude who are gathered together lo behold Ids de parture from the world, and sees before him none but Ins enemies, lie neither hesitates nor (alters ; hui with an undaunted look, resolved to die (or ins country, he yields to the sacra- 1 lice. As a dying request, he asks llint, a Bible may he furnished mm. With a fiendish mult ice this last dying prayer is refused ; . and Ins 1 letters which he desires may he conveyed to his mother and his friends are destroyed. II s lust sad farewell they never wdl receive!— Hull (inn amid all Ins cruelty, he oilers no complaint; but as Ins eyes are turned for the I hist time towards the home of Ins hirili, while ■ a beam of patriotic lire kindle’e on his coim • teimnce,lie exclaims: “1 only lament that I ; have hot one life lo lose for my country and r he dies, a mariyr in the cause of liberty.
