Washington, Juno 12th, IS3B.
In the Senate to day, immediately after the
Journal was read, Mr. Chunuy rose, and refer
ring to the Speech of Mr. White, of 'Penn., delis
vered when the bill prohibiting the circulation of
tho old notes of tho Bank of the United Stales
was under discussion on the 20th of April last!
began a series of comments upon it.
Mr. White replied very sharply, repeated all
he had said; reiterated his charges against Gnus*
uy of slabbing tho reputation of his acquaintan
ces in the dark, and challenged Gnutrux to deny
a single part he had alleged. Mr. Gimsiir was
proceeding to a rejoinder, going into a number of
controversial matters between himself and Judge
White, when he was preremptorily called to
order and compelled to resume his seat. The or
dinary business of the day then went on.
Mr. Clay presented another petition from
Connecticut praying for the establishment of a
National Bank. He look occasion to comment
on the remarks in which Mr, Niles had indulg
ed respecting seme petitions for a Bank which
he presented tho other day: and read a letter
which certifies that tho subscribers were among
the most respectable persons in the community.
Tho petition was laid on the table.
Mr. Wedsteh offered a petition from the
merchants ot Now Haven (including all the im
porting merchants except one) praying the repeal
of that portion of the Depostte Act of 1830,
which prohibits the receipt by Government of the
notes of Banks which, since the passage of that
act, bad issued notes of a denomination less than
live dollars. ;
Also a series of resolutions adopted by the
Commissioners of the Associated Banks of Bos
ton and its vicinity, and asking the same relief.
Mr. W ehsteh supported tho object with a 1
masterly speech, ,ol which I will send you a
sketch to morrow.
Mr. Wehsteh then introduced his hill making
further provisions for the collection of the public
revenue, the objeel of which is to remove the
prohibition referred to in the petition, and tho re
solutions he presented.
It is not probable that any action will bo taken
on this measure, until the House decides upon
the Sub Treasury Bill: which, now, there is every
reason to believe, will be promptly rejected ot
laid on the table.
The Senate, after some unimportant business,
went into Executive session.
The House was engaged, during a principal
part of tho day, with the bill from the Senate,,
granting pre-emptive rights to actual settlers on
the public lands. The discussion in committee
of tho whole was continued until a late hour, and
is still going on; when this package is closed in
order to be in time for mail.
During the morning a resolution was adopted
ailing on the Secretary of War for information
respecting the hostile disposition manifested by
some of tho Indians on the frontier of Arkansas.
Mr. Whittlesey offered a resolution to de
prive members who should bo absent, of their
per diem allowance, for the time of absence; but it
was negatived. M.
Washington, June 13, 1838,
I now send an abstract of the remarks made
yesterday by Mr Wehsteh, on the subject of the
repeal of themow Treasury Circular.
Mr. Wehsteh commenced by referring to tho
singular state of things now existing, the efforts for
general resumption of specie payments by the
banks which are being made all over the coun
try . and the altitude in which the government
stands to the banks which have resumed. The Se
cretary proclaims, by the now Specie Circular, that
specie or Treasury notes will be required unless
debtors to government can procure notes of spe
cie-paying banks, of the denomination of $2O, or
upwards, which banks shall not have issued or
] aid out any notes under five dollars since July,
183fJ. No Postmaster may receive any notes
less than $2O.
This refusal to receive notes under twenty dol
lars is doubtless founded on the provision in the
act of April 1830, that no disbursing olliecr shall
oflet in payment any note less than $2O.
Mr Wehsteh, said he saw no necessity for
this part of the Circular, so long as the doposi'.o
system existed. And taking the stale of tho Law*
and the Circular together, it surely could not bo
said that government is encouraging the resump
tion of specie payments, and facilitating the res
toration of things to a stale of prosperity. There
is nothing in the spirit of those regulations to re
mind us of the course of the government under
similar circumstances in the days of Mr. Dallas
and Mr. Crawford.
In New England, all the banks with one or
two exceptions had issued or paid out small bills
since July, 1836.
In New York the Legislature felt itself imper
atively called on to authorize, at least for a time,
the issue of small bills. The popular branch of
the Legislature was nearly unanimous for an un
qualified repeal: the Senate preferred a suspen
sion, and a suspension was the final result.
Mr. Wehsteh maintained that that measure
was called for by the people. It was not the re
sult ot any bank management, or tho operation of
any private interest whatever. It cannot be
charged to party, to management, or to any thing
but an universal conviction that the measure
would be useful and was necessary. Mr. Weiis.
tkh supposed that all the banks in Now York,
except two or three, have availed themselves of
this law, and have issued small bills. Their
notes, therefore, cannot be received at the custom
house or post office, or any other place where the
government debts are to be paid ; and this stale ,
of things exists in New Jersey, and many other i
stales, both Atlantic and Western.
Mr. Wehsteh said that the measures pursued
try government have overthrown, at least for die
present, its own policy of discontinuing the
use of small bills. In dm state of which has
arisen, the people of states, which began
to act on that policy, have compelled their
legislatures to give up the attempt for the pro
scut, lu some instances, the laws againsi
small not s have neen repealed; in others,
modified or suspended. The people find
these small notes useful, if not indispensable;
and as there is no room to duabl the solvency
ol the banks which issue such notes, more
than those of others, the question may be
asked, as it is with significancy and eflect by
the committee of the associated banks of Bos
ton, “ why not put ilia notes of all specie pay
ing banks on the same ground ?”
He maintained it was the duty of govern
ment, at the present time, to extend a large
and liberal confidence to the banks, to encou
rage their efforts, to assist their struggles for
resumption, hy all proper means. To this
end, the prohibition contained in the eighth
section oftlic Deposit law ought to be repealed
or suspended for a considerable time, until
circumstances shall favor a renewed attempt
to sustain the policy heretofore pursued.—
Nothing can give effectual relief, short of
providing that notes of specie paying, banks
may hereafter be received, although those
banks do continue to issue small bills. The
Banks cannot now, without great inconven
ience, recal again their small notes. The
people will not consent to it.
Mr. Webster concluded by expressing the
hope, that the way on this subject might be
seen somewhat more clearly, than it is now
seen. He was for the repeal of the prohibi
tion ; but if that be objected to, he looked
upon a suspension as indispensably necessary;
and this suspension should be for such a length
of time as will enable the banks and the public
to adjust their concerns to the new state of
things. He thought, however, that if a sus
pension only should be agreed to, and a day
fixed when it should expire, and especially jf
that day should be a near one, the banks will be
compelled immediately to begin to call in their
notes, and the relief afforded, if it be any re
lief" at all, will be crippled and made ineffec
tual. Another pressure will commence, and
a renewal of past troubles will ensue. This
opinion, therefore, is that, taking all circum
stances into consideration, it is best to repeal
the prohibition, and retain, of course, the
power of renewing it when a state of things
shall hereafter arise, to justify such renewal.
For the same reason, he thought the second
section of the act of April, 1836, should also
be repealed,
rnocEEtiiNns nr to-dav.
In the Senate, Mr. Websteu’s hill, making
further appropriations for the collection of the
public revenue came up for its second reading.
Mr. Wiuoht moved to lay it on the table
for the present, as he thought it would not be
proper to take any action respecting it, until
the House should come to a decision on the
Sub Treasury bill.
Mr. Wkbsteh expressing no objection, the
bill was laid aside for the present.
Mr. Webster gave notice that he would,
to-morrow, cull up the bill introduced by Mr,
Wi lliams, of Maine, authorising a survey and
designation ol the North Eastern Boundary
line.
Mr, Preston gave notice that he would to
morrow, ask the Senate to take up and con
sider liis resolution, proposing the annexation
of Texas to the Union.
1 lie Senate Bill, making appropriations for
completing certain public buildings in Wis
consin, and the House bill to aid the construc
tion of a canal for the purpose of connecting
Lake Michigan with Hock Kiver, was taken
up and passed.
The reminder of the business was unim
portant.
'Fhe House was again occupied with the
Pre-emption Bill. It is still under considera
tion in Committee of the Whole, when 1 close'
this.
During the morning hour Mr. Dromooole
brought in a report from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, in reference to the memorials
and resolutions relative to the annexation of
Texas, and moved that they bo laid on (lie
table. This produced a discussion, which
was interrupted by' the arrival of the hour for
going to the order of the day. M,
Washington, June 14, 18118.
In tho Senate to-day, Mr. Buchanan present
ed the proceedings of a meeting of Democratic
citizens of tho city and county of Philadelphia,
convened on Monday last, at which a number of
resolutions wore adopted, in favour of the imme
diate passage of the Bub-Treasury Bill. Also a
memorial from seventy citizens of Philadelphia,
iu favor of the same bill, and against the eslab
lisbment of a National Bank.
Mr. Morris presented the proceedings of a
convention of tho Banks, in Ohio in favor of so
modifying the Doposite act of 1860, as to receive
the notes of such banks, as since thAt time, have
issued notes under $5.
NORTH EASTERN IIOUNDARV.
The Scnato took up Mr. Williams’ motion
for leave to introduce a hill for instituting a joint
Commission, British and American, ol Explor
ation and Survey, to determine the North East
ern Boundary of tho United States, on the basis
of tho Treaty of 1783.
Mr. Webster spoke at length on the subject,
chiefly with a view to show that tho lino desig
nated hy the Treaty of 1783, was well-marked
and defined, and easily to he found as the sugges
tion of Mr. Buchanan, With tho assent of the
mover, the motion was again laid on the table,
with a view to call it up at a future day.
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
On motion of Mr. Preston, tho Senate took
up the joint resolution offered hy him some
weeks ago, proposing tho annexation of Texas to
the Union.
Mr. Southard moved to lay on the table, and
on being asked by Mr. Presto, v, whether that
was intended to he final for tho session, lie said
I that, speaking for himself, he intended it should
be so. Ho would nut vote to lake it up again.
Mr. Calhoun would vote to lay it on the ta
ble, as ho could not concur with some of the
averments containod'in the preamble of the reso
lution ; especially tho declaration that a portion
of tho United States Territory was surrendered
by the Treaty with Spain.
After some discussion, the question was taken
on the motion to lay on the table, and carried hy
a vote of 24 ayes to 14 nocs.
The Senate spent the remainder of tho sitting
on private bills.
In the House, after the journal was read, Mr,
Williams, of Tcnnssee, moved a suspension of
the rules, to take up and act on the resolution
offered some time since hy IVjr Boon, of la., fix
ing tho 3d of July for tho adjournment of Con
gress. The House refused to suspend tho rules
by a vole of 85 yeas to 82 nocs.
There is a determination not to fix a day for
closing the session until the Sub Treasury ques
tion is settllcd.
After some unimportant proceedings, the un
finished business of yesterday was taken up—
being the motion of Mr Cushing to recommit to
the committee on Foreign aflairs, the petitions
and other papers relative to the annexation ol
Texas, with instructions to make an argumenta
tive, report thereon in full.
Mr Thompson, of SC„ moved to amend the |
I instructions by directing tho committee to report'
i,solution directing the President to lake all
ucccss-irv aft-pa for auwexingT'is, at as carlo I

Mr Howard, of 'ld,, opposed the motion

pediem to agitate the question nt tins time.
Before Mr, Howard finished Ins remarks
the hour arrived lor going to the orders ot the
day, and the Preemption bill, which was got
out of committee hist, night, was taken up,
| and was continued to a late hour in the
House. No decision had been come to when

Tones for reflection. —Texas is already
ot more value to the export trade of New Oilcans
than Mexico ever was. Three years ago our ex
ports to that country wore hardly worth reporting,
whilo those to Mexico ranked third in the list. At
present Texas is third, while those to Mexico
have dwindled into comparative insignificance.

Internal Improvement—Ratl Roads
in Georgia. —We understand that. Thomas
U. King, Esq., tins recently passed through
several counties on the route of the intended
Brunswick and Florida Railroad, with the ob
ject of interesting those counties in the cn
terprizc. Wo arc happy to learn Rial lie has
been quite successful in the furtherance of his
object. In Low tides, subscriptions have been
obtained to the amount of $BO,OOO, with the
prospect of making it up to $150,000. In
Thomas country, subscriptions were taken to
upwardsof two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars, with the prospect of its being doubled.
In Decatur, subscriptions have likewise been
taken to a largo amount, and Mr. King is now
progressing through other counties, with every
prospect of increased support. We trust and
hope that the work will progress to a speedy
and successful termination.
The Savannah and Macon Railroad is pro
gressing; and wo are bound to believe that
the two cities alone at each extremity, even
should other aid be withheld, will bring the
work to u successful consummation.
The State Road is prospering, with rapid
strides, and the Georgia Railroad Company
which has so successfully conducted their en
terprise, say they are dcleinined to have theii
road to the terminus of the Stale Road, on
the Chattahoochee, before the State work ie
completed to that point. There is, wo under
stand, to boa branch from the Georgia Rail
road lo Athens, to Greensboro, Madison, and
likewise to Eutonton. The Forsyth Railroad
vve presume, is progressing, although we are
not accurately informed in relation to if, nor
in regard to that undertaken by Columbus, to
West Point. But, wo presume, that all will
be successfully prosecuted, and then wo ask,
with a justifiable State pride, what State in
the Union has done more in the same time, or
will effect more tor next year, than our own
thoroughly aroused old Georgia.— Southern
