Friday Morning, Juno 89. The Sub Treasury Scheme, As will bo seen by reference lo the letter of our Washington Correspondent, has met its fate, tn a House, wiih only live members abscnt.it was NEGATIVED by a majority of FOURTEEN. Wo cannot but congratulate the country on this result. The great humbug of the administration is thus finally, and we trust forever, nailed to the counter. If Mr. Van Huron is, as he has always professed to be, disposed lo obey the voice of lho people, it does seem to us that the time has come for him to change the miserable financial experi ments of his cabinet for something like common sense. Ever since this scheme was made a hubby by his administration, the ballot boxes have spo* ken, from State after State, in terms too clear for mistake and too loud to be disregarded. And now, in a house, where his “little premonitory” has long been Lord of the ascendant —where a decided ma jority are his political friends—here, even here, iris favorite bantling is strangled in its very birth. Let “the party” learn wisdom, while they may. It will soon bo too late forever. Fire in New York. ~ On Sunday morning the 241 h inst. a fire broke out in New York, at 670 Water street, in a two story wooden building. The flames spread with amazing rapidity, and in a short time almost the whole of the block, comprising the portion of Wa ter street upon which 670 stands, together with the portions of Govcneur, Front, and Montgome ry streetj, forming one block, were entirely consumer!. The buildings were almost en tirely wooden. The damage was small in comparison with the extent of the fire. Post Offices in Georgia. A post office has recently been established at 'Millville, Early county, of which Joseph Grime ley has been appointed Postmaster. Jleubeu Runnells has been appointed post master at Limestone, Houston county. Houk, the mail robber, who effected his escape from the jail at Columbus, Ohio, on the 10th instant, after a violent struggle with iKe jailer, has been retaken and returned lo prison. ■ ■■- —r- From our Correspondent. Washisoton, June 25, 1838. The Sub-Treasury Bill again rejected! The morning hour, to-day, being set apart for the reception of resolutions from the states in their order, Mr. Petbikis moved to suspend the rules, in order to enable him to make a motion to recon sider the vote by which on Saturday last the House adopted a resolution designating the second Monday in July for the termination of the present ■ession. The House agreed to suspend the rules, and then rejected by a large majority the propo sition to reconsider The object was to fix the third Monday for the close of the session, and then starve off a decision on the Sub-Treasury Bid for several days. But the party failed in their purpose. The resolution for adjourning on the dav mentioned cannot now be reconsidered ; “i it highly probable that the vole will be taken on the Sub-Treasury Bill to-morrow ; and Utile doubt is entertained, that this odrou. and j pernicious measure will be defeated The Chair then proceeded to caU the elates in j their order for resolutions. Mr. Hwrixs, from the Select Committee on ; the memorial of Francis F. Beaif, s.-king an > inquiry into the mode in which he has executed the public printing, reported a resolution to au thorisc that Committee to send for persons and papers. Some debate arose on the motion. It was strenuously opposed on the ground that there would not bo lime Iqr a thorough investigation, before the close of the session. The resolution was finally carried by the instrumentality of the previous question. A great number of resolutions were submitted and laid over till to-morrow. Thp most impor tant of them will be noticed as they successively come up. Mr. Bell rose, and remarking (hat the most of these resolutions were unimportant, and could not be acted upon at the present session, moved that the House should proceed to the considera tion of the Sub-Treasury Dill. Those who wished that important measure starved ofTendca vored to put down this proposition by clamor,; but it would not do; and an order was passed that the Suh-Trcosury Dili should be taken up immediately after the recess, at half past three o’clock. Mr. Bell expressed a hope that both sides of the House would agree to let the bill be reported from the Committee of the Whole this evening. When the House re-asscmblcd, Mr. Ruktt addressed the Chair until near six o’clock,, in a speech tempered with nullification, anti-abolition, and other sentiments (if not extracts) from old speeches of Calhoun, Milled, and others of that school. After which, the Committee, by a vote of 93 to 80, agreed to the motion of Mr. Garland to strike out the enacting clause, and reported the bill to the House. As soon as the Speaker took tho Chair, Mr. Sherrod Williams called for the previous question, which was sustained, and the question now being on ordering tho bill to he engrossed and read a third time, Mr. Wise asked for a call of the House, which was ordered; After the call was gone through, and all the members except five found to be in attendance. The question was then put, and decided in the negative. Ayes 111, Nays 125. •So the House have REJECTED THE SUB TREASURY DILL 111 1 The Vice President laid before the Senate, to day, a communication from the Secretary of War, with a Report from the Commissioner on Indian Adairs, in pursuance of a Senate resolution, con taining information as to the steps which have been taken by the Executive for exchanging land South West of the river Missouri, for land own ed by the Pottawattomios and other Indiaqs. Laid on thmtablc and ordered to bo printed. A", from tho Treasury Department, detiuW|L statements in part of the accounts of such collec tors, receivers, and disbursets of the public mon ey as have been reported to Congress, at its pre sent session, as defaulters—of the accounts of the deficits respectively,of the credits obtained by 1 such defaulters, with explanations why these cre dits were not allowed, See. &c. &c. Mr. McKean presented a memorial from Pennsylvania, remonstrating against the execu tion of the Treaty of New Echota, with the Che rokee Indians; also several memorials on the sub jects of annexation of Texas, and abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia—all laid on the table. < Mr. Buchanan presented several memorials from Philadelphia, praying the immediate passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill ; and remonstrating against the establishment of a National Hank. Mr. Nicholas, from the Committee on Com merce reported a Bill authorizing vessels bound to the ports of Mexico, wit| excluded from them by'ilockade, to enter and secure their cargoes in the ports of the United f?lalcs. The resolution from tho House of Represented lives filing upon the second Monday in July as the day of adjournment was taken up : and post poned tjll jo-morrow. The Senate spent the remainder of tho day in private business. M. Our Cherokee Affairs. The Southern Recorder, of last Tuesday, con tains the following gratifying information: From the following despatches it will he seen with unmingled gratification, by every Georgian, that our Indian difficulties have been brought to a happy conclusion, and that most of the Gcor gia troops are about to he honorably discharged from service, having performed the duty for which they were, organized giving possession of the country to our citizens. We have only space to renew our hearty congratulations to the citizens of the Stale, that our Indian troubles are at last closed, we may hope forever. Head Quarters, Middle Military District, ? New Echota, 18th June, 1838. 5 Sir;—l have the pleasure to inform your Ex cellency, that I am now fully convinced there is not an Indian within tho limits of my command, except a few in my possession, who will he sent to Ross’ landing to morrow. My scouting par ties hav« scoured the whole country, without see ing an Indian, or l«te Indian signs. If there be any stragglers in Georgia, they must be in Union or Gilmer counties, and near the Tennessee and North Carolina line; hut none can escape the vi gilance of our troops. k ,.i. Georgia is ultimately in possession of her righU in the Cherokee country—and her citizens unanimously concur with your Excellency in the determination to defend them. The removal of the Indiana from Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama, commenced on the 12th inst. They are yielding quietly to the troops, and no difficulty whatever is apprchca. (led. The Georgia Brigade will soon he _ discharged from the service of'the United States. With-high respect, Your ob’l servant, CHARLES FLOYD. Brig. Gen. G. M., Com. Mid. Military Dis. His Excellency G, R. Gilmer, Governor of Ga. HEAD QUARTERS. Eastern Division Cherokee Agency, V Juno 17. 1838. $ Tho removal of Indians, for emigration from the Middle District, late Cherokee country, being nearly, or quite completed, arrangements will he commenced at once for the honorable discharge and payment of the volunteers and militia in the service of the United Stales within that district. For these purposes, Brigadier Gen. Floyd, will as fast as the state of the service will permit, cause those troops to be assembled el one or more points as, after consulting with Major Payne, the acting Inspector General, may be suitable or con venient. The latter in mustering out of service, will cal! to his aid Major Fauntleroy, of the United States’ Armv, and give all orders for securing the public property of every description—as well as (after consulting Brig. Gen. Floyd) the arms and accoutrements belonging to the State of Georgia. Major Payne may also cause to be sold and accounted for, such property in the Quarter master’s and Commissary dc | pertinent as may be advantageous to the Uni \ ted States to sell. Acting Paymasters Bennett and Buck, will j immediately repair to the Middle District to pay oil the troops as fast as they are discharg • 1 ed, in the best money they may be able to coni ! mand. ! The commander of the Eastern District will as soon as he can dispense witfi their services, order the Georgia companies at Chastain and FortNcwnan, to report to Brigadier Gen. Floyd for discharge with the other Georgia troops. Captain Cleveland’s company at Dahlohne ga, will be discharged at the discretion .of Brig adier Gen. Enstis, giving notice to the Pay* masters above-mentioned ; and he wiil retain Captain Derrick's company of Georgians for further orders. Brigadier Gen. Floyd, it is hoped will re. main in service, until the business of his Dis trict shall be entirely completed. He, his stall", the officers and men of the Georgia line, will please accept the thanks of the United States, for the promptitude zeal, and humani ty they have almost universally displayed in the discharge of their painful duties. The only' exception to this just commendation, is the detachment ordered to Chastains, and in its course the delays and disorders committed, arc no doubt, mainly to be attributed to the misconduct of the Lieutenant Colonel, who has since resigned. The Brigadier General himself has exhibited a degree of intelligence, decision and method, which would do credit to any service. By command of Major General Scott, (Signed") W. J. WORTH, ■ Lieut. Col. and Chief of the Stall. t i " Executive Dkpahtmest, > Milledgeville, dune 23, 1838. 3 To Gcn.CtIA.HI.KB Fioxu: Sja—Major While at rived here last evening, and delivered to mo your communications of the 18th and 20th inst., and the orders of Genera! Scott, directing tho discharge of the Troops under your command. The people, of the Slate cannot hut be grateful to you and your Brigade, for tho successful ter. mination of your military operations, in obtain ing for Georgia the full possession ofher territori al rights, and for tho manner in which this im portant public service has been performed. In discharging the troops, you are requested to give my thanks to the officers and monitor their promptness in organizing and marching to the place of rendezvous, their humanity to the Indians, and the zeal and efficiency with which they have executed their various duties. Very respectfully yours, GEORGE K. GILMER. From the Richmond 1 Vhig. To Henry Clay Idsq.—-Letter 11l- Sir—lt may be necessary to guard against that 1 should beg you nut to understand any thing that lam about to say, as intended to moot anew tho question of the con stitutionality of a Bank of the United States. 1 have said, it is true, that my own conviction on this point, and my opinion of the mischievous political tendencies of such an institution, have been confirmed hv lime and experience, in the remarks I am about to make, you will perhaps discover how this has (icon brought about. But it is right, I should assure you, that they are. not offered with any thought of shaking your estab lished faith on that point, I frankly accept your account of your change of opinion, between IHII and 1816. It is manly and candid. “ Von found the power in the necessities of war.” Be it so. How far those necessities wore the result of gratuitous blunders, and whether a Bank could have given ollieicncy to tho management of an Armstrong, and tire arms of a Hull, a Dearborn, a Wilkinson, or a Hampton, is not niftv to be discussed. We might differ on these points, and I am not in a humor to discuss any but those on which we may probably agree. But I beg you, sir, to observe, that among ‘.he various elements, which, by their conflicting ener gies, have, during tho last live years, shaken this (ontinont, as with an earthquake, none has ex hibited such portentous force as the money power. That the wise and able founders of oui institutions should have designed to leave it to the chapter of accidents to decide in what form this power should be moulded, and in what man ner it should act, is hardly credible. 'J hat they did not intend so to leave it, is to my mind quite certain. They provided for the case, with char acteristic simplicity and good sense. 1 hey re quired tho establishment of a treasury, will) which the President should,have nothing to do, except in virtue of appropriations made by law. I am at a loss to conceive any more emphatic terms in which the care of the public money could have been committed exclusively to Con giess, Tho President, (who alone could dispute it with them,) is expressly forbidden to touch a dollar without an authority, which Congress alone could give. What could be more decisive? May we not then he permitted to doubt whether the first Congress carried out in good faith, the t provisions of the Constitution, when in the act i constituting tho Treasury Department, they place i the head of that department under the control of t the Executive; and when, in disregard of that interpretation of. the Constitution by which its I authors recommends'! it to the acceptance ot the . Slates, they take this most critical occasion to ’ outer a legislative disclaimer of any right on l the part of the Senate, to be consulted about the i removal ol that officer? There and then was i planted that root of bitterness, with whoso poi- i sonous fruit we have of late been. Auggcd ; and i to thtt point we must direct our efforts to cradi • I cate the mischief. But litis cannot now ho done. It has entwined itself with the very foundations | of out institutions, and will not now be extirpa- ] led. Were it proposed at this day, we might be . told (perhaps by Mr. Calhoun, or some other , stickler for nice construction,) that Executive , duties belong to the President; that tire removal , of officers is an Executive duty ; that the Senate , would have nothing to do with appoint menu, | had it not been expressly so ordaituid i that i to infer their power to remove, from their power . to appoint, would be a dangerous implication; ] and legislation is the proper business ol Congress, , and that such matters arc altogether foreign to this their peculiar and appropriate function. 1 o these strict and literal readers of the Constitution, j it would bo vain to urge, that legislatures and courts do every where appoint their own officers. But were the question now open to discussion, and had not they, who wore wont to bo the most strenuous opponents of power, found a pretext for taking service, (like Major Dalgetty, indeed, only for the campaign,) it might not be difficult to shew that Congress has not less a right to ap point officers to execute its function of taking care of the public money, than to appoint other officers to perform its duty of keeping the jour- , nals of bulb house*. It might have saved some , trouble, and have spared the Senate the disgrace , of stigmatizing itself, if this power too bad been , handed over to the President, But as it is, all , must depend on the fundamental question, whe. , thcr the earn of the public money before, appro- , prialion, docB in truth belong to Congress or no. If it do not, ot what value is the prohibition to tike money from the Treasury without uppropn- ( ation' f Shull we be told that this is merely man datory to the President ; a mere rale by which he is to govern himself ? Os what use, then, ! is' that other clause of the Constitution which I forbids appropriations fur the support of an army ! for a longer lime than two years Against what I Bort of danger is this meant to pioviee It pre -1 glI p 1)0KS a President surrounded by a military force, which he resolved to keep on foot in defi ance of Congress, and which he is to bo forced to disband for want of supplies. Is this a mischief to be averted by proscribing to the President a rule by which he is to govern himtelfl Docs it not manifestly suppose him standing out in deli, anco of all rule I Is it not clear that the framers ot the Constitution are contemplating a case whorc the President is provided with men ond arms, and wants nothing hut money, and that, though there is money in the Treasury, it is so placed that he cannot gel at ill What more ab surd, than such a provision, if the money were actually in his own keeping, or in that of an offi cer whom he had made and could unmake at pleasure I Should such au officer plead the ob ligation of the Constitution, we read his fate in that of Mr. Duane. Whoa the Tribune Metellus met Ciasar at the doorol iho Treasury and forbad his entrance, the Dictator laid his hand upon his sword and threa tened to strike him dead. “And know, young man,” said he. “it were easier to do this than lo say it ” To iho Piusidcnt of the United Stales, this throat was superfluous. A stroke of his pen was all sufficient. Put what has this lo do with a Dank? Much! It points lo the importance of establishing such Pinks as tuny he made the depository of unap propriated public moneys, under inviolable re sponsibility, (regulated by law) to Congress alone, for its sale keeping. How this idea should be curried out in detail, I am incompetent to sug gest. Os the importance of the end proposed, I cannot doubt—Of means proper and adequate, 1 have no capacity lo judge; I merely oiler the thought for what it may be worth. Put,, if,it be indeed, a necessary condition of a Dank of tfio United States, that it shall hold the public funds under the control of iho President, and apply them in subserviency to his will, the result wi|l he this: That the implication by which the power of Congress to establish a bank is in ferred, has given rise lo a power ittjlho Executive more formidable than all the other powers of that and all tho other branches of the Government ta ken together. What better proof of this could be required, than the monstrous abuses, which, during the last live years, have been sanctioned by means of (hi* power 1 What bolter proof can you require, sir, than the struggle in which you aro now en gaged I With whom are you contending 1 With a Giant or a Pigmy 1 A man endeared to ihe People by tho memory of past services, and be. witching tho public mind by Iho splendor ofh is talents; or a puppfl,set up lo carry out Iho pur poses of a faction, who, conscious of his own nothingness, steals into the privacy of his palace, and, in its recesses, hides himself from the eyes of men I Hook at the man I Cook at Ihe base arts by which lie rose lo power! Look at his crimes ! I,oak at the hateful wretches, the neces sary tools of his vile purposes, with whom he insults the moral sense of mankind ! Look at the wido spread ruin lie has brought upon tho coun try, which (could wc dishonor Omnipotence by applying Ifie epithet to a thing so mean) might well denominate him “the scourge ot God '. Then turn your eyes inwardly on yourself. I have said that L should lake care neither to Hat ter nor oll'ond. 1 shall therefore not attempt to characterize you. [refer you to your own con sciousness, and the known estimation of the pub lic. Look at tho parlies to the struggle! \ou, with your acknowledged powers, your long sur vives, your ox tensive popularity, the vast space you have tilled in public all'airs for nearly thirty years, yoiqr splendid career, your established re nown, and “He with no friends lo hack his suit withal l!ut the plain devil and corrupting gold * * * * * All the world to nothing.” Hut mark the result. Addressing myself to you, and not to others, why need I speak of tliai of which you yourself are conscious? What others have but witnessed you have fell; the se verity of that struggle; the intense agony of that slrifo. Gan it bo necessary that I say a word lo convince you of the fearful nnergy of that pow er which tho command of the Treasury confers? And lo what, at last, will you owe your triumph? To what hut the breaking of that golden Talis man in which the spell of Ins influence resided? And why do I turn lo you, but that 1 Itavo no thing left but hitter scorn for those who would restore the wand of power to his grasp? And here 1 might repeal the question, whether ' \vp shall believe it to have been intended by the framers of the Constitution that such a power as ' this should have been the creature of implication, * When wo look upon the multitudinous swarm 1 of vermin rising from pools and marshes, and wriggling into life amid tho slime and filth of cor ruption, we do not trouble ourselves to inquire jj their filiation. We habitually regard them (who- . liter philosophically ot no) as the product of ler- menling elements, working themselves free from their former affinities. Dul when tho monster j Python issues from the retiring flood, and shades j the land with his portentous bulk, and ongulphs armiesin his devouring maw, and stifles nations 1 with his poisonous breath, wc can never believe that he too was tho creature of a mere fortuitous concurrence of atoms. So when we see this all conquering power striding over tho subject land, rewarding some, destroying others, and defying all; wo feel that wo have a right to look in the ! latter of tho Constitution for its authority. I suggest this thought without designing lo press it. Far from it. Ido but (utn to you, as I have said, from those whoso alternate rashness and pusilaniraity (unfaithful alike in each ex treme) has scattered our parly like sheep without I a shepherd. My appeal is to your magnanimity; and I call upon you by that sentiment, for which , even your enemies have always given you credit, j lo be just and even generous to men whoso virtue I vou never doubled, and whose principles you f were early taught to respect.
