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. From the New York Express A PICTURE OF THE GRAND DRAMA OF THE EXPERIMENT.

IBU7. -i*r,-r.■ - ■ 1 ' ( 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 tions, have finally given him the slip, and taken 1 lo the swamps again. 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.

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. [communicated.] 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.— [ Baltimore American .] From the lliinmotid il Pig. 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.

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.

I< c 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. Jolt n Edgar, Foro'n, H. Ha/ton, John 51.
