REMARKS OF 1 ME
HON.JO HNC. CALHOUN.
Delivered in Ihe Senate of the United Stntee ,
March JIM, 1834, on Ike motion of Mr. H'eb
oterjor leave to introduce a bill to continue Ike ’
•cAorler of the Bank of Ike United Staleo for
'the fix yean after Ike expiration of Me pretenl
t charter.
( Concluded.)
I-emitted in the pro; er place to slate my reason
for suggesting twelve year* as the lenn lor the
renewal ul the charter of the hook. It sppeors
to nte that it is lung enough to permit the agita
tion and distraction which now disturbs too Colin
try to subside, wtiile it is sufficiently abort to
'-triable as to avail ourselves of the lull benefit ol
■the light of experience, which may la: expected
to tic derived front the operation ol the ayalcin uu
aier ila new proviaiona. But there is anothei
reaaon which appeara to me to be entitled to great
weight. The charter of toe hank of England haa
recently been renewed far the term oi ten years,
with very important changes calcula ed lofurnish
much experience upon the nature of flunking
operation < and currency. Ilia highly desirable,
if the hank Charter should lx l renewed, or a new
trank created, that we should have the foil honclil
-of that eqperienc® la-fore the expiration ol the
•term, which would he ejected hy lixin* the pe
riod for the lime 1 have designated. Hut as my
object in ark-ding the rreharter of the Hunk ol
the United Stales was simply to enable me to
present the suggestions 1 have made, in the clear
est form, and not to advocate the rc-cltartor, 1
shall omit to indicate many limitations anil pro- j
visions, which seem lo me to la! important Pi he
considered, when the question of its permanent
renewal is presented, should it ever be. Among
■others. I entirely concur in the auggcsiionsof the
Senator frost Georgia. ol fixing the rate ol inter
est at five per cent; a suggestion of the very high
art importance, as having a inosl important hear
ing aa the value of pro|ierly and the prosperity
of the coaairy i« every branch of its Indus'ry and
to wki.dv kat one obstacle can I i my opinion, l-c
.presented; I mean the opposing inloiosl of Slate
Ins itulinne, all of which discount at higher rates,
and which may driest any measuio of which it
constitutes a part, in addition, 1 will simply say,
that I, for one, altall feel disposed lo adopt spelt ,
provisions as are Jiesl ealeulsied lo secure the Go- .
vernment from any supposed influence on (lie |
part of die Dank, or the hank improper inlerfer- ,
ranee on the ptrl of the Government; or which ,
may lie necessary to protect the rights oi interests
ol the Slates, r
Having now slated the measure necessary to )
apply the remedy, lam thus brought to the ques- (
lion—can (he measure succeed I wliielt lirings j
up Ihe inquiry of how fur it may he expected to i
receive (ho support of the several parlies w hich *
compose the-Senate, and on which I shall next I
proceed lo mak a lew remarks, s
First then, cun the State Rights parly give it i
their support —that party of which 1 am pr ud ol
being a member, and for which I entertain au ,
strong an atlarlpncnt—the stronger, because
w« are few among many. In proposing this ,
question, 1 am not ignorant of their long stand
mg constitutional objection In the bank, on the
ground, that this was intended lo be, us it is liati- i
ally expressed, a hard money Government—a ,
Government whose circulating medium was in
tended to co tsist of the precious metals, and for |
which object the power of coining money anil -
regulating the vu-u>-thereof, was expressly con- i
fened by the constitution. I know how lung and -
how inanely this opinion has I won entertained, |
and under how many difficulties it lisa been <
maintained. It is not my intention to attempt i
to change any opinion so liiinly fixed, but I may i
he permitted lo make a fetv observations, in or- i
dor to present what appears In mo lo lie the Irue e
question in reference lo this constitutional point >1
—in order that we may fully comprehend the ji
circumstances ultder wlncu we ate placed in re- l
terence In it. Willi ibis view Ido nm deem it n
necessary to inquire whether, in conferring the s
power to coin money audio regulate the value n
thereof, the constitution intended to limit the l
power strictly lo coining money and ivgulaling n
its value, or whether it intended to snnfi-r a more i
general power over the ctirreney j nor do I in- v
lend to inquire whether the word coin is limited t
simply to ihe metals, or may lie extended to other i
substances, i: through a gradual change they may t
become the medium of the genotul circulation of c
the wugld. 1 pass these points. Whatever i
.opinion there may bo entertained in reference to i
them we all must agree, ns a lixed principle in our r
•y of thinking on constitutional questions, <
(hat the power under consideration, like other po- r
fitical powers, is a trust power, and that like all c
aaeh powers n must lie so exercised as to nfli-el v
the object of the trust as far as it may bo pracli- ►
cable Not can we disagree that the object of 1
Iha power was tn secure lo these States a safe, |
uniform ami stable cutrency. The nature of the i
power; the terms used to convoy it; Hie history
of the bin 's; the necessity with the creation of a
common Government, of having a common and
uniform circulating medium, and the power con
furred’to punish those who, hy countoi feiting, may
attempt to debase ami degrade the cuius of the
counby—all pioclann this to be the object.
It is not my purpose to inquire whether, admit
ting this to be the object, Congress is not hound
to use all (he means in its power lo give this
safety this stability, (his uniformity to the cur
rency, for which the power was conferred—nor
to inquire whether the States are not hound to
abstain from acta on their part inconsistent with
these objects nor to inquire whether the right of
banking, on the part of a Stale does not directly,
and by immediate consequence, injuriously affect
the currency—whether the effect of hanking, is
not to expel the specie currency, which, accord
ing lo the assumption, that this is a hard money
government, it was the object ofthc Constitution
to furnish, in conferring the power of coining
money; or whether the effect of banking does
not necessarily tend to diminish the value of spe
cie currency as certainly a- clipping or reducing
ita weight would; and whether is has not, in fact,
since its introduction, reduced the value of the
coins one hall. Nor do I intend to’inquire whe
ther Congress is not Ivouml lo abstain from all
sets on its part, calculated to affect injuriously
Hie specie circulation, and whether tho receiving
of any thing but specie, in its dues must not ne
cessarily so affact it hy diminishing Hi quantity
in circulation, and depreciating Ihe value of what
remains. All these questions I leave open—l de
cide none ol them, There is one, however, that
I will deci<lc. If Congress has a right lo recivo
•tty tiling else than specie in its dues, they .have
the right to regulate Us value; and have a light, ol
course, lo a lopl all necessary and proper means
in the language -ifthe Constitution, to effect the
object. It matters not what they receive, tobac
co or any thing else, this right must attach toil
I do not atlinn the right of receiving, but I do
hold it lobe controvertible that if Congress were
to order the dues of the Government to be paid,
for instance, in tobacco, they would have Ihe
right—they would be bound lo use all necessary
aud proper means, to give it a uniform and stable
value; inspections, appraisement, designation oi
qualities, and whatever else would be necessary to
that objects So, on the same principle, if they re
ceive bank notes the are equally hound to use all
means necessary & proper according to the peculiar
nature of the subject, to give uniformity, stability
and safety. The very receipt of bank notes on
the part of the Government, in its dues, would it
is conceded, make them money, aa far as the Go
vernment may be concerned, and by a necessary
consequence would make them, to a great extent
the currency of (he country, Isay no lung of
the positive proviaiona in the Constitution which
declare that, “all duties, imports, and excises,
shall be uniform throughout the United Stales,”
which cannot be, unless that in which they are
arc paid, should also have, as nearly aa practica
ble, a uniform value throughout the contry. To
effect this,where bank notes are received,the hank
ing power is necessary anti proper within the
meaning of the Constitution; and consequently, if
the Government has Hie right to receive bank
notes in its dues, the power {becomes constitu
tional. Here lies, said Mr. C„ Hie real conslilu- ,
Uonsl question—has the Government a right to
receive bank notes or not? The question is not l
(ipon the mere power of incororuliug a hank, as
u has been commonly argued; though even in
UaMimw-thvru would lie as g.eal a constitution
al objection to any act on the pan of Hie Exccu-1
other branch of the Government,'
-to* • ■ -
which should unite any association ol the Stale
Banks into one system, as the means of giving
the uniformity and stability to the currenry
which the Constitution intends to confer. The
very act of so associating or incorporating them
into one bv whatever name called, or by whatev
er department performed, would be in fia.tan set
of incorporation.
But, said Mr. Calhoun, my object, as I have
s-aleil, is not to discuss the c-msiilutional ques
tion, nor to determine whether the bank be con
stitutional or not. It is. I repeat, to show where
the difficulty lies—a difficulty which I haw felt
from the lime I first came into the public service.
I found then, as now. Hie currency of the country
consisting almost entirely of bank notes. I
found ihe Government intimately conneecd with
the system, receiving bank notes in its dues and
paying them away tinder its appropriations as
cash. The fart was beyond my dontrol: it exist
ed long licfore my lime, and without ray agency;
and I was compelled lo act on the fact as it ex
isted without deciding on Hie many questions
which I have suggested ns connected with this
subject and on many of which, I have never yet
formed a definite opinion. No one can pay less
regard lo predceent than I do acting here in my
representative and deliberative character, on legal
or constitutional questions; but I have felt from
hegining the full foice of the distinction so
sensibly taken hv the Senator from Vir
ginia [Mr. heigh] between doing and un
doing an act, a d which he so strongly illus
trated in the case of the purchase of Lou
siannn The constitutionality of that act was
doubted by many at that limn and among others
I y its author himself; yet he would he considered
a madman who coming into political life at this
late period, would now seriously take up the
quertion of the constitutionality of the purchase
ami coming to the conclusion that it was un
coi.siituiional, should propose to rescind tho net :
and eject from the Union two flourishing .Slates, 1
and a growing Territory; nor would it lie the art .
of much less madness thus to treat the question i
of do- currency, amt undertake la suppress tho >
system ot bank circulation, which has been grow- ,
ing up from Hie hegining of tho Government; i
which has penetrated into and connected itself i
with every branch of business and every depart- i
meiit, ol the Government on the ground that the
eonsliiuiinn intended a specie circulation', or who
would treat the ciin-titulionul question ns one lo
he taken up de novo, uml decided upon elementa
ry principles, without reference to the imperious
stale of facts.
But in raising Ihe question whether my friends
of the State Bight parly can consislenly vole
for the measure which I have suggested, i rest
on the ground that their constitutional opinion,
in reference lo the, hank, is erroneous. I assume
their opinion lo he correct —I place the argument,
not on the constitutionality or imcmislituliunalily,
hut on wholly different ground. I lay it down
as an act lo ho unconstitutional, hut of such a na
ture that it cannot he reversed at once, or at least
without involving such gross injustice lo indivi
duals and distress to Ihe community, that it can
not he justified; we may, under such circumstan
ces, vole for its temporary continuance—lor un
doing gradually, as the only practicable mode of
lei initialing it, consistently with (ho strictest con- 1
siilutionnl objection. The act of the last session,
adjusting tho lariif, furnishes an opt illustration. '
All of us believed that measure to he unconstitu
tional and oppressive, yet wo vote-1 for tho act 1
without supposing we violated tho constitution
in so doing, although it allowed upward of eight '
years for the termination of tho system, on the i
ground that to rovers -it nl once, would spread
desolation and ruin over n large portion of the ■
country. I ask that the principle in that case he i
applied to this.—lt is equally as impossible to ter- ,
initiate, suddenly, the present system of paper ]
currency, without spreading a desolation still wi- .
der and deeper over the face of (ho countty,—]l
it call be reversed at all—if we can ever return »
to n mctulic currency, it must he by gradually p
undoing what wo hava done, and lo tolerate the j
system while the process is going on. Titus, the (
measuio which 1 have suggested, proposes for •
the period of twelve years, lo he followed up hy
a similar process, as far as a slow und cautious
experience shall prove wo may go, consistently
with the public interest, even lo its entire rover- 1
sal. if experience shall prove wo may go so far, 1
which, however, I must say, I for one, do not art- 1
t.cipaU; but Hie efl'orl, if it should ho honestly
commenced und pursued, would present a case 1
every way parallel lo the instance of Hie litrifl’, to
which I have already,referred. Igo farther, and 1
ask the question can you, consistently with your
obligation to the constitution, refuse lo vote for a
measure, if intended, ill good faith, to effect the i
object already staled. Would not n refusal lo 1
vote for the only means of lefininiiling it, con- t
sistently with justice, aud without involving the
horror of revolution, amount in fact and in all its |
practical consequences io a vote to perpetuate a
slate of things, which all must acknowledge to he i
eminently uncnnslilulionnl and highly dangerous
lo Hie liberty of the country!
But 1 know that it will ho ohjecled, that the
constitution ought to ho amended, ami tho pow- ,
et conluired in expreas terms, I feel the full
force of tho objection. I bold the position to be
sound, Hint when a constitutional question has
been agitated, involving Ihe powers of the go
vernment which experience shall prove cannot la
settled by reason, as is the ease of the hank ques
tion, those who claim the power ought to aban
don it, or obtain an express grunt hy un amend
ment of the constitution; and yet, oven with this
impression, 1 would at tho present time feel much
if not insuperable objection, to vole for an amend
ment, till an effort shall ha fairly made, in order
to ascertain to what extent the power might be
dispensed with, ns 1 have proposed. I hold it a
sound principle, that no mine power should lie
conferred upon the General Government than is
indispensable; and if experience shall prove that
tho power of hanking is indispensable, as I be
lieve it lo be, in (he actual condition of the cur
rency of this country and of tho world generally,
I should even then think that whatever power
ought to be given, should ho given with such re
strictions and limitations as would limit it to the
smallest amount necessary, und guard it with the
utmost care against uhu-o. As it is, without
farther experience, we are at o loss to determine
how litile or how much will he requited to cor
rect a disease which tiittsl, If not corrected, end
in convulsions and revolution. I consider the
whole subject of banking and credit as undergo
ing at this lime, through the civilized wotld.u
progressive change, of which 1 think I perceive
nianv indications. Among the changes in pro
gression, it appears to me liter-.' is a strong ten
dency in the hanking system to resolve itself into
two parts—one becoming a hank of c • illation
and exchange, sot the purpose ol regulating and
equalizing the circulating medium, and the other
assuming more the character of private hanking,
ol which separation there are indications in the
tendency of tho English system, particularly jior
cepliblo in the late n\odilicatiuns of the dinner of
the Bank of England. In the meantime, it
would la- wise in us to avail ourselves of the ex
perience of the next few years, la-fore any change
be made in the constitution, particularly as the
course which, it seems to me. it would bo the
same whether the power be expressly conferred
nr not.
I next address myself lathe menhers of Hie
opposition, who principally represent the com
mercial and manufacturing portions of the coun
try, where the hanking syitem has been farthest
extended, and where a larger portion of Hie pro
perly exists in Hie shape of credit, than in any
other section; and to whom a sound ami stable
cunency.is most necessary, ami the opposite most
dangerous. Vou have no constitutional objec
tion—to yon it is a mete question of ex|a-Jieucv;
viewed in this light can you vole for the pro
posed measure? A measure designed lo arrest
the approach of events which I have demon
strated, must, if not arrested, ctejlo convul
sions and revolutions; and tn correct a dis
ease which must if not corrected, subject Hie
country lo continued agitations and fluctua
tions; and in order to give that permanence, s «-
biltty, and uniformity which is so essential
to vour safety and prosperity. To effect this
may require some tlimuniiioii on the profits of
banking; some temporary sacrifice of interest; but
it such should lie the fact, it will t-e compensated
in more than a hundred fold proportion, by in
creased security and durable prosperity. If the
, system must advaucuiu ihe oresent course with
out a check, and if evploso-i mast follow, re- •
member dial were toll stand will bo lb* rta
ter—should the system quake, under your feet
the chasm will open that will engulf your insti
tutions anu your prosperity.
Can the friends of the administration vote for
tliia measure? If I underitand their views, as
expressad by the Senator from Missouri, behind
me. [Mr Hcnlon,] and the Senator from New
York, [Mr. Wright,] and other distinguished
members of the party and the views of the Presi
dent, as expressed in reported conversations, I
sec not how they can reject the measure. They
profess to lie the advocates of metallic currency. I
propose to restore it by the most effectual measures
that cun lie devised; gradually and slowly, to the
extent that experience may show that it can he
done consistently with a due regard to the pub
lic interest. Farther, no one can desire to go.—
If the means, I propose arc not the best and most
effectual let (letter and more effectual be devi-ed-
If the process which I propose lie 100 slow nr 100
last, let it|lie accelerated or retarded. Permit me to
add In these views, what it appears to me those
whom I ad Iress ought to feel with deep and so
lemn obligation to duly They are the advo
cates and supporters afthc administration. It is
now conceded, almost universally, that a iash
and precipatc act of the Executive, to speak in
the mildest terms, has plunged this country into
deep and almost universal distress. Yon are the
supporters of this rneasuue—you personally incur
the responsibility by that support. How arc the
consequences of this act r to terminate? Do you
see the end! Can things remain as they are
with the currency ami the treasury of the country
under the exclusive control rtf the Executive!—
And hy what scheme, what device do you pur
pose to extricate the country and the constitution
from their present dangers?
1 have now said what 1 intended. I have poin
ted out without reserve Whttt I believe in my con
science to be for public interest. May what I
have said he received os favourably as is the sins
i erily with which it has lieen uttored. In conclu
sion , I have but tn add that if wbat I have said
shall in any degree contribute to thrt adjustment
of the question, which I believe cartnol be left
open without imminent danger. I shall rejoice) but
if lint I shall at lea ;t have the consolation of hav
ing discharged tny duty.

FOR GOVERNOR. ,
»l<:OIS«K ft. ftIB.JIER* I
“V ■= I
The Legislature of Virginia assembled on Mon
day last. The Governor’s Meqssage is short, sen
sible and quite to the point. We give a notice of i
it to-day from the Richmond Whig, winch paper
speaks in high terms of it.
The Baltimore American of Friday morning,
speaking of the recent freshet of Jones I'alls, a ■
creek which runs through tho city says: i
“By far the most extensive and destructive I
calamity with which the city of Baltimore has
ever been visited was experienced on Wcdnesdiy 8
night. 'J’hn heavy showers of rain which dc- c
scended on that night caused a sudden and extra- '
ordinary rise of the waters of Jones’s I alls, tear- ,
ing up the mill dams and wooden bridges which t
cross the upper ports of that stream, and bringing I
them down against the stones bridges within the ‘
city limits. The arches of the latter being thus
obstructed, and rapidly choked up hy the limber, j
plank and other wooden fragments swept away a
prom above, tho waters rose wilh a fearful lapidi
ly about one o'clock in tho morning, spreading
over a large space of the lowef parts of the city lo (
a greater or less height, and doing most extensive |
injury as well to those districts as to the improv- I
cd properly binding on each side of the Falls.” !
The folloivi.ig extracts from the St. Augustine
Herald of June 9th, will be read wilh the deep
interest which tho subject deserves. By this
lime it is highly probable that the Scrtitnoles are
engaged again in the work of death and conflai
grntion. They have completely outwitted and
out gcncialled Jessup, deluding him with false
promises, until the sickly season has set in.—
They have now ascertained his force, his posi
tions, his means of offence and defence, and after
having led for some weeks upon government ra

ijA RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES, us
, rqSince our last, intelligence has been receive?!
tom Tampa, that all tho Indians at the camp
there, had tied to the woods. The circumstances
arc stated lo be, that Gen. Jesup had ordered those
enrolled to prepare for immediate emigration, to
which they seemed averse, and an intimation
reached the commanding General, which induced
him lo send out a detachment lo take them pris
oners; hut when they reached the Indian camp
they found il evacuated. Every Indian inclu
ding the * istages Micanopy Jumper, and others.
Thus have they temporized and used every de
ception and subterfuge 'o pass off'time untd the
sickly season had coimijc.nced. It is said that
Micanopy, in order lo deceive and induce a be
lief in his sincerity, deposited in the hands of a
sutler at Tampa, a few days previous lo his llight
, a considerable sum of money said to ho a’'out
1000 dollars; Abram, the negro chief anil into, ■
preter, also deposited a considerable sum. Verily.
"Micanopy isnottho fat old foul we have thought
him.”
By the arrival of the steam boat Bssayons at
Bicolata yesterday from Fort Mellen wo learn
that a number oflndians had made their ap
pearance at that post, and it is said Philip and
Miconopy, are among them; they assign as a rea
son for leaving Tampa, that sickness prevailed
among the soldiers there, and they fled from con
tagion, and also they wanted to hold a talk with
the officers al Fort Mellon.
An express rider Irom Miconopy at Black
Creek rcpoils that several men had been murder
ed near the Bi; Spring on tho Oeklawahaj about
2 J miles from Fori King and it is leured that
this report is too true.
An officer of the Army at Tampa in writing to
Ids friends at Black Creek, commences thus “As
hostilities arc again about lo commence,” &c.
Letters it is said have been written by Gen.
Jesup, to the commanders of posts ordering them
to be on the alert and recommending them te
advise the inhabitants to abandon their crops and
retire upon the posts.
! Our cunning cnciny’hasjagain filled us and has
shown himself os successful in the cabinet as the
field. During their protracted negotiation, they
| were dial led to supply themselves with provis
ions, clothing and ammunition; they brought in
largo droves of cattle, the captured properly of
our citizens which they sold to the government
and teccived certificates therefore at a certain
valuation; these were taken by (radars as so
much money, and were thus enabled to purchase
supplies. They obtained ammunition from the
Creek Volunteers who received it from the ord£ ,
nance officers for the purposes of hunting. ,
U Nearly two out of Bowel’s threa eiied 'fnV
' years in which he would light the whites, have
elapsed, and judging from the progress made on
our part towards conquering him it seems likely
that he will be enabled to hold out the remainder
of the lime. But the distress, anxiety, and hard
ships to bn endured by our inhabitants arc easier
lelt than described. The troops aie to retire to
summer quarters and nothing will be done till
fall, beyond protecting the frontiers. The last
lour months have been wasted in negotiation and
the Indians have become recruited from the fa
tigues of the past campaign#. The people have
become tired and their patience is w ell nigh ex
hausted, with heart sickening deferred holies. It
is not our habit to complain. Complaints avail
hut little. If the blood of our murdered fellow
citizens, which calls aloud for vengeance-, the
ashes of our consumed dwellings ; anil the sight
of oar ravaged plantations, will not awaken the
energies of those charged with the termination
of this horrid warfare —what will ?
It is rumored that Fort Armstrong had been
attacked and that the light continued ;wo hours.
Gen. Jesup is said to be at Port King. 1
We give the shove a# reports merely; the ave
nues of correct information seem lo be closed lo
u. and we can give but the reports of the day
Wc have lieen informed from a high source, that
very strict orders had lieen sent to Gen. Jesup I
from Washington, not to allow any thing to a p- t
pear in the public pai>ors in relation to our In- 1
dim affairs in Florida, which would have the ten
drum to excite alarm and apprehension in the ,
J minds of the inhabitants. Buch a course has
been prescribed for those who have the charge of 1 i
protecting and defending our inhabitant* and ter-i
inmalirtg the honi.l warfare which has desolated
uur territory, and they cannot pursue any other.
There are but few who can aporovo of this sup-
pressinn of information, so important to us. It*
creates distrust and want of confidence, and pro
duces the effect which it is wished to avoid. Iho
people wish to know the facts and they ought lo
lie made acquainted with them.
Gen. Jesup's [dan now is, it is staled, lo em
ploy a number of Choctaws. The Creeks have
lu-en found lo he inefficient. They arc connected
wilh the Scminolcs by the ties of consanguinity,
and speak the same language; they have found
friends and relations among them and it is not tn
be expected that they will be as efficient as was at
first anticipated.
The Choctaws make il their boast (hat they
have never yet shed blood of a while maq, ami
they are represented as being a warlike tribe. It
is saiil aof jealously exists among them that the
Creeks were employed in preference. I hey
speak a different language and are in no way con
nected with the Seminoles.

Mr. Editor, Sir—lt was wilh pleasure we saw
announced the names of the individuals com
posing the Board of Health, in the city papers.
From the known character of those gentlemen
we have reason to hope their vigilance and atten
tion lo the duties of their appointment may tend
to secure the blessings of Health which wo have
so eminently enjoyed heretofore. The season is
at hand when an immediate action on these du
ties would appear highly desirable and beneficial.
Very many if not all of our ‘Cellais’ with some
of tho hack Lots, want attention. Wc believe
the Council as well as the citizens will most hear
tily aid them in the discharge of their duties. Du
ties which will give all satisfaction to know they
have been performed in time should disease visit
us, ami duties which we are all equally interes
ted in having performed.
MANY CITIZENS.
We have been favored with the following curi
ous extract by a gentleman, who has perused the
Wandering Piper’s hooks of receipts, disburse
ments, &c. since ho commenced his lour in tho
United States and British America. Ho has
travelled 9250 miles hy water, 4015 miles by
stages, 758 bv rail-roads, 8759 miles hy a horse
and carriage, making in all 23,798 miles, besides
crossing the Atlantic and short drives of pleasure
which must amount to a very consiilciablc dis
tance during a period ol nearly four yChrs.
Wherever the Piper performed he always employ
ed an inhabitant of the place as door keeper, who
in all cases certified lo the sums received by the
Piper in a hook kept for the pm pose.—His hotel
and all oilier hills of expenditures have been writ
ten by the landlord and the. different tradesmen
in another book, Which certainly forms a uiosll
amusing record of learning and ignorance.
The books containing receipts (or money given
to charitable institutions.have been written and
signed by many of the first ladies and gentle, en
m America, and the numerous complimentary
letters sent to him by members of Congress and
tbe several State Legislatures, and also the ma
gistrates ami clergy residing in the cities and
towns through which ho passed, show that the
most unprecedented kindness basin allcasosbeen
center red no him—His receipts and disburse
ments up to tho present date s'and thus;—
Money received at performances, - $27,000
Given lo charitable institutions in tho
United States and British provinces 12,000
T.avelling expenses, printing, atten
dance, &c. 15,600
Making in all $27,600', leaving the Piper a
loser of S6OO from his own private funds.
The English and Scotch have long been famed
for performing extraordinary feats in walking,
wrestling and other athletic sports, and many ol
their first noblemen have begged, snug ballads,
and sold pies for wagers, but the Piper it seems
bound himself to perform a task which should
f stand unrivalled in the annals of sporting, and il
s would appear that he is pretty confident of suc
cess, as ho now publicly offeis ten lliousam:
guinas lo any gentleman possessed of a similai
sum who will pcrfoim tbe feat over again, lit
has been requested lo visit Cape May, altei
which he will perform a few evenings in New
York, and then take his departure lor Europe.—

THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
Whatever wc in our hearts approve, emanate
whence it may, wo will not hesitate publicly to
commend. It is a principle of action by which
wc always have sought, and will always seek to
square our conduct.
Wc therefore do not scruple to express our do
cided approval of the communication yesterday
transmitted by the new Governor lo the General
Assembly. It is a calm, temperate,judicious and
weii considered document—such a one as wt
should iid -’e anticipated from a sensible, patriotic
& independent Governor, who had tlicpveal of the
Commonwealth at heart,and who was unwarped
by party prejudice, and untrammelled by an un
principled cabal.
The Governor, with frankness and hones
ly, without inquiring into the causes, confesses
the magnitude of the calamity, which has btd’affen
the country; and like a wise man, and very unlike
our federal rulers, is wholly averse to any ruinous
innovations or to any further “experiments” upon
our institutions. lie sees our wretched and un
done condition—he sees there is no balm to heal
the wounds already inflicted, and he is disposed to
preserve what is left us, and by a judicious bus
bandry of our resources, by energy, industry and
economy to lepuir as far ;is possible llic ravages
ot past misrule. Ho accoidingly recommends to
the Legislature to sustain the Banks and enable
them to relieve the people, and lo forbear exact
ting the penalties incuirod by the suspension of
specie payments. Any (dither legislation, he
thinks, should be deferred until tho regular meet
ing of the Legislature.
His general views appeared to us, from a hasty
perusal, liberal, judicious and enlightened. That
such is the tact is a just cause lor joy and gratu
lation lo the whole Commonwealth. It will calm
the public mind and relieve the people of all ap
prehensions ol the ruthless innovators. For his
views, ne venture to assort, will be triumphant
ly susta tied by the Legislature despite tbeseur
tillous columns of the Enquirer, and the rabid,
demoniac spirits in the House.
It will bo seen that he puts the extinguisher
'Tupon the Bentonians, with very little mercy.—
‘There uresome be says, with much emphasis,
who arc opposed to all Banks and he gives those
to understand, in very intelligahle terms that they
will derive no countenance or support from him.
W e thought, when this and some other passa
ges were read wo saw the visagft of the Bentoni
ans gradually lengthen, as the conviction was
forced upon them that their hopes were"blighted
for ever. We suppose, however, they will en
deavor to muster a little coutage, and not surren
der without a blow or two. They would make
a struggle, if for no other cause, to produce con
fusion and agitation in tho public mind, which
are the elements ol their prosperity. But they
may do their worst now—we can safely and se
curely defy them. The old Commonwealth can
not be wrecked this time.

\wKUL FLOOD—LOSS OF LIVES
IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PRO- j
PERTV. . «
The city of Baltimore wav visited about one ,
o’clock this morning, with the most destructive
calamity that has ever befallen it. During the >
greater part of yesterday, there fwas a considers- /
able full of rain, which increased after night fall j
and about 13 o’clock tell in torrents. About j
half after 12 the water of Jones Falls had risen i
to an alarming height, and not long after, one df i
the wooden bridges over the tails at Bath street
was carried* away and passing down the stream |
lodged against the stone bridge at Oay street.
This of course, soon occasioned an inunda
tion and all the. kwer parts of tho neighborhood
wo c speedily ovetflown. The rain continued
to fall with unexampled violence for severtil
hours, increasing the volume of water to such a
degree as to sweep away the Bazaar Bridge near
Baltimore street, the Fool Bridge leading from
the Fish Market, and the Draw Bridge at the Ci y
Block. The Stone bridges at Gay street, Balfl
tnore street, Water street and Pnilt streets were
not carried away, but were greatly injured parts
of the arches being carried oil’. It is impossible
to estimate accurately the loss of property occa
sioned by Ibis calamity. It cannot, wo should
suppose possibly be less thin a million of dollats.
Independently of the loss to the destruction of the
Centre Fountain and the injury to the Centre
Market house, the street pavements, &c. cannot
be repaired, except by a very heavy expenditure.
But the most disticssing part of the narrative
yet lemains In bo told. Not less than FOUR
TEEN PERSONS certainly, and, it is feared
many more; were suddenly and most awfully
hurried into eternity by the sudden “rising of the
waters.’’ So sudden and overwhelming was the
rush of the inundation that the unfortunate per
sons had not lime to escape from their dwellings,
and were found dead either in their beds, or evi
denlly in the act of a vain endeavor to escape.
In a house situated in the rear of the German
Lutheran Church, at the cottier of Holliday and
Saratoga streets, were found the drowned bodies
of Chuistopiieh Wut st, the Sexton of that
church, his wife and three children. One of
the children, an inlant, was in its cradle! The
rest had started, affrighted,from their beds, only to
feel the utter impossibility ol escape, from tho tor
rent which surged anil roared around them, filling
their apartment from floor to ceiling.
In a shantee opposite to White’s distillery
were found the bodies of—Donnelly and his wife.
At the corner ot Concord and Water streets,
Dougherty, an Irishman; on the Long Dock, the
dead body of James Doyle, an Irishman.
A shantee, on the Fall’s Turnpike, out of the
city was suddenly lifted up by the current and
swept away. Pirn persons who occupied it
were drowned; tho body of ono of them, a girl,
lias been found. The corpses of the others arc,
no doubt, co'vrcd beneath the lubbish, which
the workmen arc now engaged in removing from .
VhT various bridges over the Falls. J?

PRESEN'I’.MENT^ 551^555 *
Os the Ghanii Jmit of Richmond Culntt
for the second week of the June Term
> 1837. ‘ ’
We, the Grand Jury, swum for the County 0 f
Richmond, lor the second week, beg leave to j, ro .
scut the following matters in the discharge clour
duties;
Wc have examined Ihe books ol the County Trea.
surer, up to the first of January last, and find
entry supported by proper vouchers.
We cordially agree with our predecessors ot this
term, in the necessity of urging on our Senator* and
Representatives in uur next Legislature, to have
such a law passed as to put a stop to tho inlnnioiu
and degrading practice of w hile persons living i
adultery with negroes.
W e arc ot the opinion that it is almost urincccssa
ry for us to notice the subject further, respecting
the immoral practice of gambling, so often has a
beer brought hclorc the community by f urmi , r
Grand Jurats, and the evil still continuing in |'„j|
force and vigor. Wc b, luve the laws in loree arc
sufficient to suppress it, if the officers of justice sup
ported by the community, would rigidly elder™
them.
Wo present as a grievance, colored persons living
apart from their owners, or tram under the control of
white persons; also their driving about on the Salt
bath, particularly lor their own pleasure, in barouch
es, cai riages, Arc. 'These subjects have also been
repeatedly noticed by former Grand Juries, and still
remain umeformod. We believe the injury Inflict-'
edonthe community by the allowance of these
practices on the pan ofcolored persons, me of great
er magnitude th in what is generally supposed?
Wo present, as a grievance, the practice of per
sons selling spirituous liquors w ithout licence, and
t t uning wit it negroes; believing that many are now
pursuing Mils practice in anu around uur city, m ;
violation of the law
We pres .it the bad condition of the public road
of this county generally, and would recommend t„ •
Inferior Court to adopt a different mode of workii:"
on the same. We believe that tho plan of lotting
out the improvement of the public roads by con
tracts, in sections, lor a term of years, to responsi
ble persons, will ensure us good roads, without
materially increasing the expense.
We notice with pleasure the charge of his Honor
Judge Schly, and return him,, with the Attn ruby
General, our thanks tor the courtesies receiv'od from
them.

Norfolk, Jane 29, 1835.
In the early part ofthisyear I was attacked with
a most violent cholera morbus perhaps a man ever
had, and its effects lasted so long as to procfuco a
most distressing diarrhoea, attended w tlh great pmA
in the abdomen, and continual vomiting. All tli»
ordinary remedies were administered but with little
or no effect. I then procured a bonleofyour reme
dy for cholera, and &c., and used it according to tho
directions—ln four hours from the time of taking
the second dose, I found great relief—the pains soon
left me, and my bowels became as regular as lor
morly 1 have every confidence in tho efficacy ol this
medicine, and most cherfully do I give this certifi
cate.
