From Anucreon. The Muses twined a wreath of flowers Around Love’s rosy wings ; They bore the god to Beauty’s bowers, Whilst Heaven wit It plaudits rings. Young Beauty welcomed with delight A captive wild as Love, And capid,in her sunny light, Forgot his home above. Venus a noble ransorao brings His liberty to gain; But Love refolds his rosy wings— Hu will nut break his chains; For what wore freedom to him now, His bondage is so sweet, That Love, false Love, breaks not his vow, Nor leaves young Beauty’s feet. Lav i a *. ttr.Nuiwß and Tiiub. — A young man who bearded at a house in the country where were several coy damsels, was on ouu afternoon am costed by and acquaintance, and asked what he thought of the young ladies. He replied they were very shy mid reserved. ‘So they are, 'returned the other, ‘anti so much so that no gentleman could gel near enough to tell the color ol their eyes.’ ‘That may he,’ said the broader quickly, ‘yet I will stake a million that 1 can kiss them alt llnec without any trouble.’ ‘That you cannot do,’ cried his friend. Tt is an achievement which neither you nor any other man can accomplish,’ Thu other was positive, and invited his friend to the house to wiuuuss his triumph. They en tered the room together, and the three girls were all at home bitting beside their mother, and they all looked as prim and demure as John Kodgcrs at the stake. Our hero assumed a very grave aspect, oven to dejection, and having looked wistfully ut (ho clok breathed a sign as deep as algebra, and long as a females dialogue at the street door, ills sin gular deportment now attracted the attention of the girls, who cast their slow opening eyes upward to his countenance. Perceiving the impression ho had made, he turned to his companion and said in a doleful voice—it wauls three minutes of the time.’ ‘Do you speak ol dinner!’ said the old lady putting down her sewing work. 'Dinner!’ said he with a bewildered aspect, and pointing, as if unconsciously, with culled 'forefinger at the clock. A silence ensued, during which the female part of the household glared at the young man with irrepressible cutiosity. “You will see mu decently interred,’ said he, turning again to his fiiuiul. Ills friend was as much puzzled as ally body present, and his embarrassment added to tiro in tended effect. But the old lady being no longer •blc to contain herself, cried— • Mr. (J——-‘pray what do you speak ofl' ‘Nothing,’answered he with a lugubrious tone —'but that las' night a spirit appeared to me.’ %ere the girls rosu to their feet and drew neat — and the spirit gave mo warning that I should die at exactly twelve o’clock to day, and you sco it wants but half a minute of the time!’ Thu girls turned pale, anil theii hidden sympa thies were at once awakened lor tho doomed and departing one. They stood chained to the spot looking alternately ut the clock and tho unfoitu ate youth; he thou walked up to the eldest of the girls, and taking her by the hand, bade her a •oleum farewell. Ho also imprinted a kiss upon her trembling lips; she did not attempt to resist. He bade the second mid third farewell in the came tender and alVoctionato manlier. His object was achieved, and at that moment the clock struck twelve. Hereupon ho looked around surprised, and ejaculated'who would believe that an nppaia *tion could tell such a ho. It was probably the ghost of Ananias or Sapphira.' It was sometime before tho sober maidens un derstood Hie joke, and when they did they ovine, ed no resentment. The lirsl kiss broke llio lee, and thanks to the (iliost, they discovered that there was some pleasure in the pressure of a ■bearded cheek. Stop xuk —John and Jllrum Sibley, of Bt. Francis County, Arkansas, have offered a reward of $ 100 for the apprehension of one James W. tiranl, who is charged with the murder ol Gabriel Sibley, of Arkansas. Said Grant is represented to be 6 feel, 8 or 9 inches high, dark hair, wears beard and whiskers, his right eye a little larger than the led, and the vi sion dim, has somewhat of a down look, talks free, and attempts to make people believe 'he is learned in the law. — Picayune. A Murder in Mississirn.—Tho Gallatin t Mi.) Star contains the datuils oi the murder of Col. James M. Hulot, formerly of Winchester Va., which took place on the Bth inst., m d ml ’ town. It seems that the deceased went into a store, where he saw a vagabond named Richard M Junes, in a lit of intoxication, flourishing a loaded rifle, (cocked and with the triggers spiung) indulging in a strain of profanity characteristic of himself alone, and swearing that he would shoot some one. Col. H. made some reuiaik, not at sll calculated to wound the sensibility of Jones or any othei person, when Jones uttering an oath, declared that he would shoot him. Col. H. turn ed his face, and observing Jones levelling his gun made a step towards him, (hut without speaking) it is thought for the purpose of getting hold 01, and turning the muale of the gun, but before he could eltect his purpose Jones tired, and three leaden balls with which the rifle was charged, cn. terod his Ictl breast |uat above the nipple- He stepped a pace or two and calling to a gentleman near to a slat him, sunk down upon the floor and expired almost instantly. Jones was arrested immediately and token before a magistrate who committed him to jail. A verdict cf wilful mur der was rendered by the coroners jury. Col. Hulot, was a young gentleman of great promise, just 28 years of ago. Ills remains were interred with military and masonic honors. — lb. From (In Ktrhmoud Whin. To Henry Clay. lisq.—No. IV. ■Sir—ln my last, I called your attention to the vast influence exercised by the President > of the United States, in virtue of his control over the monetary system of the country. De rived from his command of the abounding re venues of the Union, and organized by means of the banking system, it Ins established a connection between his office and the pros., perity, the comfort, the very subsistence of private individuals, which has proved a source of fearful influence. Hut you may remember that, in adverting to this, 1 declared that I did not mean to press the argument against the constitutionality of a bank, which might be de duced from (he superior efficiency, for all sin ister purposes, of this implied power, to any and all the express powers of the Government. Nor did I press it. I did but propose to ask whelbei the equivocal generation of a power so dangerous, does not make it the duly of those who call it into existence, so to place it, and so to hedge it round with restrictions, and so to fetter it, as to afford some hope of safe ty from the wounds it might inflict on the pub lic happiness liberty and peace. Hut I am sensible that this power, under some modification, is inseparable from the na ture of the thing. .S'omcwhere it must be pla ced; and I acknowledge that, in urging the necessity of withdrawing the command of it from the Federal Executive, I am proposing hut to change the scat of the disease, and not to eradicate it. This may he impossible. If so, it is an evil which we cannot remove, and must he content to mitigate as we may. You, I am persuaded, sir, will agree with me, that lie- control of the monetary system of the whole country by any Department of the Ge neral Government, however desirable for com mercial and financial purposes, must he a great piilllicul evil. Should it not, then, he our stu dy to devise some means to separate the polili cal minrhic/ from the fincut and commercial ad, vantages of a Hank > It seems to he assumed that the Govern ment cannot snlcly make use of a Hunk of the United Slates as a fiscal agent, without re serving to itself such a control of its operations n» may guard against the indiscretion or dis honesty of the institution. That strmnty against these should be taken, is incontcsti hlc—that, for this purpose, the administra tion nl the affairs of the Hank should bo con trolled by some power from without, is not denied. But. give mo leave to ask, “is it ne cessary that Hus power, in whole or in part, should bo exercised lyth c Federal Govern- I incut in any ol its departments?” 1 1 am sensible it. must seem presumptuous < in a nameless individual, to suggest a thought t on this critical and delicate subject. Nay t more—l am sensible that it is presumptuous t —mid 1 frankly own, that, were it in my pow- t or to carry into practical operation the ideas t that I am about to present, 1 should tremble ' to assume the responsibly. But it is said, i and truly, I,bat “wise men learn more from fools, than fools from wise men- ” —Boar with j my folly, then, I pray you. i 1 think it may ho safely assumed that the i Stales collectively can never find an interest j in acting dishonestly in mere money mailers i by the Government ofllio Union. What, then would be the effect of reserving to the several ! Slates a part ol the stock of a Bank of the United Slates, proportioned to their represen tation in the two Houses of Congress, and 1 such, in its total amount, its to secure to them t an efficient control of the operations of the in- I stitu ion. The States at this moment hold, on f doposito from the Government of the United Stales, a sum ol money not much short of thirty millions of dollars. For the reimburse ment of this sum, they are liable to be called ; on by Congress. What if it were provided that each Stale should be forever discharged of this liability by taking stock to that amount to bo reserved lor tliem! This sum would he h more than half of the capital of fifty millions u proposed by you, and would justly secure to the States a majority iu the directory. 81 It cannot bo supposed that a Hank directed • and chiefly owned by the States, would full locx- o ucutu, iu mood faith, all its engagements with the | ( General Government, which is but the creature I 1 and agent of the Stales themselves, established I 1 for their use. No case cun bo supposed in which 1 they would chooso In ombatras us finances, but one of infidelity on Ibo part of the General Gov ernment to iu proper duties. To suppose that they would descend to any thing like dishonesty to the prejudice of their own aflairs, would be ab surd oven if the respect duo to Sovereign Slates did not forbid such an idea in any case wliulov or. On ibis side there could be no danger. Hut might not great benefit arise from such an ar rangement? Would it not boa great achieve ment, if, by such means, the Slates could bo en abled to oppose a counter-check to the influence which the Federal Government derives from Us vast revenues, not only through Us patronage, but yet more through Us power over the prosperity . and subsistence of individuals! 1 frankly own, sir, that, in discussing the constitutionality of a I Hank of the United Stales, 1 may sometimes have ; opposed an uncandtd dullness to the arguments of , its advocates. lam not conscious of having done - so. Hut convinced, as I am, of the mischievous a political effects of any Hank of the U. S. hereto fore established, my mind may have taken a per., - verted view of the constitutional question. But . let mo see a Hank so constituted as to bo an in ■, j strument of control in the hands of the States, il and 1 should certainly wish to lind in the Coiisii a muon some authority for its establishment. 1 might not lind it; but wo must forget the mar vellous aptitude of tb* Imninn mind to iind re a 11 eons lor approving what it eagerly desires, before c wo can doubt, that, of the multitudes who deny I the constitutionality of a Hank, many would la? 9 relieved of their scruples. In this view, 1 see no I reason why tho whole capital stock of such u 3 Hank might not be held by the States. None, 3 why it might not be increased from time to time, ■ as the growth and necessities of the country » might require. None, why the charter might s not bo perpetual: None, why tho Hank should not be established, by irrevocable contract, in the right to receive and keep all depusites: None, 1 why the Government of tho United States should I have any more authority over the Hank, than any i other depositor, beyond the right to be kept advt -1 sed of the condition of its affairs. I assure you, sir, I am profoundly sensible of 1 my insufficiency to the task of suggesting any a thing more than a hint, of the folly of which 1 ) am prepared to bo convinced by u single word. 1 c see the difficulty of organizing the dneclory ol ■I a Hank so constituted. Hull understand, that, t among men skilled in the business of Hanking, s ar idea is beginning to find favour, which might i, be advantageously applied in this case. If it be - desirable, as some suppose, that every Hank t should bo organized with a legislative diteciory, ) possessing full power to regulate the principles , and extent of Hie business of the Hank, and an 1 executive directory having no authority but to ' carry into effect the orders and enactments of the I other, then might (his advantage be eminently enjoyed by uch an institution ar I am supposing What should hinder the appointment of the Exe cutive bl anch in the ordinary way; while iheolh. cr might he made to consist of a number of mem bers, equal to the number of States—one chosen by each State? If necessary, the concurrence ot belli bodies might bo made indispensable to the adoption of measures of a high and extraordinary character. Ol this kind, 1 will mention as an ' example, all suspensions of specie payments. ( Nor nee 1 we doubt of the ability with which the ) all rirs of such an institution would be managed, when wc reflect, that the interest of each Stale ' would make it a measure of economy in her, to 1 i establish at the seal of the Mother Bank, some : intelligent citizen of her own skilled in finance, | lo represent her in this legislative directory. Does it strike you, sir, that I have sketched the outline of a power, whoso shadowy hut gigantic dimension*, should make us pause and ponder before wc resolve to give it a tangible ami sub stantial existence! “Sco’sl llion a dusk ami shadowy font arise, lake an infernal god, from out the earth 1" Ib it now you turn lo doubt whether uny fair construction of the Constitution cun sanc tion an establishment which rimy predonirm'e over tl.o authority which gave it birth, and eventually reverse lire preponderance of pow er in the Union 1 Are such your thojghta? Then look again, 1 pray you I Its lineaments and propositions, indeed, are new to you; hut in might and magnitude, it is but the tame as that which the word of power spoken by that master sorcerer, lo whose potent spells the art of the present magician is but a juggler’s trick, has la'ely exorcised and la'd forever? It is in detail alone, that what 1 suggest, differs from what has been. Admit the power of Congress to establish a Bank, mid the res: follows of course. What constitutional objections apply to the one, that may not as well be urged against the other? Does the Constitution admit a Bank with a charter for twenty years, mid forbid one for a longer or an indefinite term ? Does the Constitution ad mit that Slates might he corporators, (as they dearly migl",) anil forbid them to be the sole corporators? It this projectslartles you, is it not because it suggests an argument which, litirly applied, might lead you to doubt the con stitutionality of any Bank of the United States? Ifso, give me the benefit of that doubt, and I am contont. But, if not, then I beg you to observe, that the plan suggested, proposes to give no greater energy to the money power of the country, than belongs to the nature of the thing. It does but change the direction of that energy, fn doing so, 1 own it makes it 1 more conspicuous. The money power thrown into the already preponderating scale of the i general government, seems but a superlluons j make weight. There we arc scarcely con- . soious of its effect on the balance, and have no means of estimating it, but transfer it to 1 the scale of State sovreignly, which now kicks 1 the beam, and we shall be no longer at a lees i to discover its efficacy as an clement in the , Constitution. If indeed, after the experience df the last five years, you still think ,l neces sary to strengthen the federal government, and to establish that central supremacy which 1 lo others seems so formidable, then the more ( my suggestions may promise to conduce to i the end that 1 propose, the more decisively will you reject them. But, if you think with | mo, that it is lime to lift up the down-trod sove reignly of the States, and restore them lo their just authority, and their place in the esltma, lion of men, you will gladly seize on any means of translcring to them from the federal government, the all-controlling money-power of this great commercial continent: If, as I wish lo believe, you have not yet forgotten the teachings of that wise and good man, at whoso feel you were brought up, and from vvtiose lips you learned your first lessons j of political philosophy and constilutional law ; I some further remarks on this subject may not bo unacceptable to you. At another time I . shall take leave to resume it. A FRIEND OF STATE RIGHTS. mi iii wi—roTin —run — JIV IiXI’UESS MAID. j From our Correspondent. s Washington, Juno 2Clh, 1838. f 1 had the pleasure to announce to your readers, ry the Express Mail yesterday, the signal defeat as the Sub-Treasury Bill in the House of Hep re. ( renlativcs, by a majority of fourteen! This glo- i rious result has spread joy and exultation through out the city. The announcement called out an •nlhuainstio burst of applause fiom the opponents of the measure, and from a crowded auditory in I the galleries. From the moment the order was given for a call of the House, the Hall was a scene of great anxiety, until all the members in the city were got into their places. Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, who it was supposed 1 would vole against the hill, left the city on Sun day for the Springs. Mr. Bhuyn, of New York, is confined at his residence in his own state.— ! Mr. F. O. J. Smith was absent, having gone to Europe. Mr. Hipley, bf Louisiana, was absent from indisposition. Mr. Lawler, dead. With) tire exception of these, every member Os the House was present, and u mote solemn vote | never was taken. You could hear every name I distinctly responded to. The members kept i their seats until they had voted, lest by any ■ chance they might move beyond the bar, and lose their votes. To-day, after the presentation of a few unim portant petitions and memorials, Mr. Robertson, of Va. offered a resolution proposing a plan for a SpecialDeposite System. Mr. Uambrelinc. objected, and that grotesque personage, Mr. Petri ken, of Pennsylvania, ] joined in Ids objections. He did not, forsooth < want a thing to enter in at the windows that could not come in at tire door ! Mr. Robertson moved to suspend the rules, .and the question being taken by ayes and nays, i the House refused to suspend. Mr. Adams then resumed his remarks on i lire subject of the annexation of Texas to 1 the Union, and spoke until the expiration of 1 the hour, without concluding what he had to say on the question. the srn.TVEASrnr uili. abandoned! The House being about to pass to the orders of the day. Mr. Foster, of New York, rose and moved to reconsider the vote by which the Sub-Treasury Bill was rejected last evening. Mr. Barons moved to lay (ho motion la jc- I consider on the table. Mr. Mallory, of Virginia, took occasion to remark that he would vole against reconsidering, as he had voted against the bill yesterday in compliance with the instructions of his constitu ents. Mr. Mason called upon Mr. Uhuki.s to with- I 'haw the proposition lo lay on (he table, au ,| j allow a direct vole to be taken. Mr, Dmcic.il complied with tho request. Mr. Summon Wjmjams thru moved the pre vious question, which was sustained. A call of the House was ordered, and there being a large attendance of members, the question was put on agreeing to reconsider, and negatived. Ayes 21, IVocs 205 ! ! Ho the Sub-Treasury lias heen rejected and abandoned. Mr. Ki: \ .v toy, of Maryland, and Mr. Thomp son, of South Carolia, successively proposed resolutions in relation to the use of hunks as de positories, and the reception of hank notes; bu* the House refused to suspend the rules. The House resolved itself into Committee of ! the Whole, and took up the hill to increase the Military Establishment of tho United Stales. In the Senate, to day, Mr. WensTKa gave no tice that ho would to morrow, move to take up the hill introduced by him, in regard to the use of banks as depositories of the public money, and the reception of notes of hanks issuing notes of a denomination less than five dollars. On motion of Mr. Buchanan, the Senate took up the Joint Resolution bora the House fixing the second Monday in July,for terminating the present session. Mr. Benton objected to binding the Senate to a particular day for closing the Session, lest many important bills now mentioned should be lost for want of time, to act upon them. He moved to j postpone the resolution, till Monday next; arid demanded the Ayes, and Nays. Mr. Buchanan replied: and after some discus' sion the question was put, on postponing the re solution and negatived. Ayes, 8. Nays, 39. The question then recurring on the adoption of the resolution, was carried in the affirmative with out a division. So the ninth day of July is fixed on as the day of adjournment. After the disposal of some private bills, Mr_ Buchanan rose and made a demonstration, which deserves particular attention. He introduced a bill purporting to be supplementary to the Act entitled. “Jin act to establish the Treasury Department and which is in tact a proposition for a system of special Specie Depositee. The revenue is to be collected under the order of tho Secretary of the Treasury; and the money pla ced in special depositcin specie at regular terms: and those bank hills which shall bo reserved and not disbursed, shall after sixty days bo converted into specie, and that placed in special deposlte > Tho bill further provides that after a limited time, no notes shall bo received of banks that issue bills under ten dollars; and after another limited peri od, no notes of a loss denomination than twenty dollars. This measure was read twice and referred. | will not fail 16 attract the attention of the coun try, that the introduction of this measure was contemporaneous with the csliro abandonment of the Sub Treasury Bill, by the House. The remainder of the day was spent on private bills. M. —j***p , CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. /UH,i DST.V. Saturday Morning, June 30.
