[VIIUK OUll CORBKSroKDLNT.] WASHINGTON, DEC. sth, 1837. The proceedings of yesterday were unimpor poilant, and altogether of a formal character, The Chairmen of tho Committees appointed to inform the President of the organization of Con gress, repotted to their respective Houses, tho President’s intention to communicate a message at 12 o’clock ; anil soon afterwards Mr. Abraham Van Buren, the President’s second aon, and Pri. vate Secretary appeared at the bars of the Senate and 'he House, successively, add after being in troduced, in due form, werti through the business of presenting the message ili'd a formidable pile of accompanying documents, with hia character istic grace and ease. Major Van Buren certain ly discharges his duties more agreeably than did his predecessor Andrew Jackson, junr. No remarks were made on the Message. The usual number of copies were ordered to be printed, and the House adjourned. But there was a duty of a solemn nature to be performed in the Senate, that of announcing the death of the late excellent Senator Kent. In the absence of the surviving Senator from Maryland, the melancholy task de volved on Henry Clay : and never was tho do* parture of a good and useful man from this earth ly scene noticed in more appropriate, or more el ecting terms—never were the encomiums of friendship more worthily bestowed—never did the I voice of eulogy fall upon the ears of a more at 'tailrive and sympathising auditory. The tribute ipaid hy the distinguished Kentucky Senator to llis'tlsptulcd friend, was worthy of the strong af fection and respect which knit them together for mote than twenty-five years, and of the simple and natural eloquence for which Mr. Clay is re markable above ail men I ever know. He un locked in tho bosoms Os all, a source of painful regret, and of deep and durable emotions. To-day, the Annual Reports from tho Heads of the Executive Departments, the Treasurer of the United Slates, the Comptroller of the Treas ury &c. &c. were laid 'before the. two houses by their respective presiding officers, and the usual number of copies ordered to bo printed in the House; a resolution was offered by Mr. Johnson of Md. calling on tho President of the United Slates to communicate to the Hou e the causes of the delay in the sailing of the vessels design : for the Exploring Expedition; and all correspon dence calculated to explain those causes. This will come up for decision to-morrow. The resolution offered by Mr. Underwood of Ky. on Monday, directing the Clerk to cause a compilation of the lists of Ayes and Noes, on cv ery question decided to be made and published at the end of every session, for distribution among the people, was taken up, aud after a brief des cussion, laid on tho table. The following resolution offered by Mr. Un derwood was unanimously adopted: dissolved. That the Secretary of War bo di rected to lay befoie Congres, copies of all orders and instructions to the Commandcr-in-Chief of alt forces in Florida, authorizing him to raise troops, or call into service any portion of the militia, or to accept’lhe services of Volunteers for the purpose of suppressing Indian hostilities; & that the Secretary also report what measures have been adopted to enlist or procure the services o* other Indian warriors to light against the Semi* noles —the numbei of ludians'so enlisted,or taken* into the service of the United States, their tribes, the length ol time for which they are engaged and the amount ot pay promised ; and that tho Secretary also report the number of troops of all classes engaged, and called into service for the purpose of preventing tho war in Florida, at tho present time. Tho motion for the appointment of the Stand ing Comm: llees of the House was postponed till to morrow. Adjourned. In the Senate, Mr. Grundy of Tcnn. introdu ced a bill to provide for the greater security of passengers and others conveyed in vessels pro. pellcd in whole or in part hy steam ; which was toad twice and referred to a select committee Mr. Walker of Miss, gave notice of his inten tion to introduce a Bill for granting pre-emptions, and graduating the price of the public lands. f This you perceive, the bid for popularity in the new slates, made by the Executive, is already urged by his partisans. The true Representa tives of the old states will consider how far the recommendations of the President would be bene ficial to the country at largo, and consistent with the light of their constituents. I regard Mr. Walkers’ Bill as equally pernicious to the Western People, (in an enlarged view of their interests) and as a violent invasion of the rights of the old States After soma conversation it was agreed to, that the Vice President should appoint the Standing Committee. They will be announced to-morrow. The Senate then adjourned. Mi From tin: Baltimore Chronicle. Projbgt for a Unitem States Bank. Mr. Editor —l am not aware that the project herein suggested, for a Bank, Iras ever boeti presented to the public. But as it appears to me to possess features that ought to be highly acceptable to the whole of our community who are ‘opposed to a Bank on the terms, I herewith give it briefly. The capital to be subscribed by three parties —the Government, —the States, —and the People. Each to be represented at the Board of Directors. No Branch to be located in any State that may define to be a share holder, unless by con sent. An Institution upon such a basis would meet not only the approbation of all parties concerned, but form a link that would estab lish a currency as acceptable to the commu nity, as it would bid defiance to Government assaults or Party or Bank Intrigue. From the Baltimore Chronicle. THE BANK CONVENTION ADJOURNED The Conventions adjourned on Saturday, to meet again m the City of New York, on the so- j cond Wednesday in April. We learn from the Philadslplm U. S. Gazette, that there was an at. tempt to fix upon the first dav of March, 1838, to resume specie payments. Only three Stales voted for that day, New York, Ohio and North Carolina ; but it was doubled even whether the desire of those Stales was exactly represented by lire votes given. Tito Resolution to adjourn to tho second Wednesday in .dpril, and then to assemble and consult upon a proper time to resume specie payments, was unanimously curried. W* subjoin a copy of lire resolutions adapted by the Convention. Resolved, That tho Convention ante ruins a jeep anxiety and a firm determination to accom plish the te.umpncn of specie payments at the earliest period when it Clay he permanently prac ticable. llesolved, That in the opinion of the Conven tion, the present circumstances of the country are not such as to make it expedient or prudent now to fix a day for the resumption of specie pay ments ; and that when the Convention termi nated its present session, it shall be adjourned to meet in lire City ofNew York on the SECOND WEDNESDAY IN APRIL NEXT, for their considering and practicably determm.ng the day for resuming specie payments. llesolved, That tills Convention strongly rc. commend to all the Banks in the United Stales, to continue by piopcr means to prepare them selves for a return to specie payments within the shortest practicable period after tho meeting oi the next Convention. Resolved, That tho Banks in those State, which arc not now represented, be earnestly re quested to send delegates to the adjourned meet ing of the Convention, and that the several dele gates from all tho states be desired to procure all such information in regard to the condition of the banks of their respective Stales, as may be attaina ble. The unanimous decision ol the Bank Con vention that it is inexpedient, at this time, to fix a day for tlie resumption of specie payments will be learned with great satisfac tion by our readers. It was at first fear'ed, that the majority in the Convention, actuated by a laudable but improvident spirit, might determine to designate on early day for the resumption—a circumstance which could not fail to bring a vast amount ot inconvenience and even of suffering upon the commercial world. It is possible that, during the ses. sion of Congress, something may he done that will facilitate the resumplio i of specie payments, oven at an earlier dale than that which was first proposed by llie comm,Bee of the convention. But as nil this was uncer tain, and it was impossible that the cunven lion could foresee the course of things, the course they have taken was obviously the w.- scst. Tc have designated a day, and, when it come round, lo have been obliged to name a more distant day, would have led to a ca tastrophe ten times more serious than the ori ginal act ofjsuspension. Still greater would he ihe calamity if alter resuming specie pay ments, in tho face of a high rate of exchange and other adverse circumstances, the Banks should be jjcompelled, a second lime, lo close their vaults to save themselves from absolute ruin. Such a result as this would tumble not only the whole banking fabric, so lo speak, in ruins, but would carry desolation and distress into every department of business throughout the country. We repeat, therefore, that the postponement of a final decision,by the con ■ vention was wise and judicious, and, we are sure, will bo justified by all reflecting persons, : However faction may attempt to pervert it, or party clamour to denounce those who had the firmness to resolve upon it, wo do not doubt in the least, thatlfie necessity of,such, a deierminalion will be acquiesced in by considerate men as all parties. — Ball. Chron. From Waldie’s Library. THE PITCHER PLANT. The plant which most attracted our atten tion at the last exhibition of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was the Nepenthes dis lillatoriu, or Pitcher plant, raised from I lie seed hy Mr. Bnist, and the only one, wo be lieve, ever exhibited in America. Tho plant was then young, and the pitchers small, but they continue lo grow, and are now it fourth as large as a tumbler; they will probably con tinue to increase until each would Contain a pint of water; the eye is much pleased by the novelty of seeing such a contrivance suspen ded at the end of each leaf; we can liken it to nothing so well us to our grandfathers’ sil ver tankards with their massy lids. The following popular account will interest those who have paid any attention to plants:— The Nepenthes dislillatoria, or Pitcher plant, abounds in those stony and arid pans of Java, from which small birds and quadru peds must migrate in search ot water, were it not for this vegetable production. The tra veller who passes through those sultry regions is frequently attracted by its singular appear ance, and by the number ol birds that fly in and olit among the branches. On drawing near, he observes a small bag, shaped like a pitcher, at the foot stalk ot each leaf, furnish ed with a neatly fitted fid, and having a kind ofhinoe that passes over the handle of the pitcher, aud connects it with the leaf. This hinge is a strong fibre, which contracts in skdwery weather, aud when the dew fa Is. Numerous little goblets, filled with sweet fresh water, are thus held forth, and att’onl a delightful draught lo such email animals as climb the branches, and to a variety ol winged creatures. They hear the pattering of tire heavy rains drops on the dry leaves, while sheltered in their hiding-places; and when the rain is sufficiently abated, forth they come, and refresh themselves in every open cup. It is delightful to see them thus employed, and the pitcher plant is sometimes almost covered with these thirsty creatures ; some drinking eagerly, others lilting up their little hills between each sp, as if grateful for the refreshing draught. But no sooner lias the cloud passed by, and the warm suit shown forth, than the healed fibre begins to expant], and closes the goblet so firmly, as even to prevent evaporation. This is a bean tiful and prospective contrivance. The quadruped, bird, or insect, has had sufficient time lo quench its thirst, for the heavens do not immediately become clear; and when the goblet is filled with dew, some lime must necessarily elapse before the warmth of the sun is felt. .But the plant also requires re freshmeut; rain.drops soon trickle from the •rid place in which it grows, and the nightly dews are insufficient to refresh the sloping side of its assigned locality. The pitchers, therefore, are essential to its preservation, and a sufficient quantity of fluid is preserved by the gradual contraction ot the lid. As long, too, as the lid stands open, the slender bill, the proboscis, or the tongue, can be readily thrust in, but as it gradually com tracts, this is of course precluded ; out then lest any poor thirsty creature should arrive* late, or remain unsatisfied in tiie crowd such pitchers ns are covered with leaves re main much longer open, and it is probable that some never close at ail. We also re mark, that neither one, not two, nor even ten large pitchers are assigned to each plant but "that every leaf-stalk has its own* Hence every leaf receives a necessary sup. ply of moisture through lubes that corftmu nicaie like syphons, with its absorbing ves sels. I scarcely know a single instance In which a wonderful adaptation ot oiw part to another, of one vegetable lo tiro animals that surround it, is more clearly evinced than m this unassuming plant. ■ Now, if the leaves were broad like those of the common chestnut, or tho coltsfoot, neither rain nor dew could reach tho pitch ers: but instead of this, they slope upwards; therefore, when the lid is open, the pitcher soon fills, and lo its brimming goblet innu merable winged creatures eagerly resort. The insect hnsu long proboscis, with which to sip up the moisture; tho bird introduces Hs nar row bill; but if the insect or bird had instead as these, mouths constructed liko a fish, and those peculiar longues which distinguish aquatic riaiorufl, considerable difficulty would artNe,and the pitcher bn often broken in the i endeavor to procure s sip* Wo may also fairly assume that the little quadruped* which resort thither arc fdrnishcd long and slender member, which permits -tbem to lap* the water, through comparativejy a narrow aperture. «« the clawWtThrds enable litem tu retain a firm hold oiibr,niches, when eveu rudely shaken by the wind, attd the feet of insects are so formed as to grasp the smoothest stems, many little animals have hkewise feet well adadpted lor climbing. The field mouse, for instance, which can runup a slack of corn, and all swift moving quadru peds, are thus constructed. Tho digging foot which is assigned to the mole, or one resem bling a horse’s hoof, would bo useless in ascen ding slippery places. The pitcher .. t each leaf has also a twofold purpose; it refreshes the parent plant, and holds forth an open goblet to many thirdly, waylaring creature. A few would not suffice either to the plant or its visiters, na 1 before observed, and there fo.e, every leaf is similarly provided; nor is it less worthy of remark, that if the fibrous, hinge contracted on'y in heavy rain, such birds, end quadruptds, and insects, as fly or walk by night, would not be able lo quench their thirst;:but dew equally affects it,therefore it is for them Mso that ihe|nighilyigublel|isthus bountifully replenished. Mid how mulf'ar.ous are its uses, whether filled by rain or dews! Without the moisture jvlnch 'it thus retain the bealiful green colour that adorfis Ifie plant Would tade, the flower could not open, the seeds cottld not riped; such creatures as sub gist ontlfe sWeet nectariuus jusices of its open flowers would lose their rlally banquet, and quadrupeds must drag on a miserable exis tence, if, indeed, they conl.l exisl lit all. Con. Itidea. It wi 1 be i eon, by rcfmr.ng to the report of the Uonnnis loner of Indian AlFurs, that tho most sanguine expectations of the friends and promoters of this system have been realized. Thu Choctaws, Ch’erokeas, uml other tribes that fi st emigrated beyond the Mississippi have, for the most part, abandoned the hun ter state, and become cultivators of the soil. Tho improvement in their condition has been ra pid, ami it is believed that they arcuow fitted to enjoy the advantages of a simple form of govern* ment. which has been submitted to thorn and re ceived their sanction; and I cannot too strongly urge this subject upon the attention of Congress. Stipulations have been made widt all the Indian tribes to remove them beyond the Mi-sissippi, ex cept with tho band oflbu Wy.tnd ills, tho Six Nations in New York, tho Mcnumonees, Man*- duns ami StockbriJges i t Wisconsin, and Mia* mies in Indiana. With all but the Menornonees, it is expecleJ that arrangements for their emigra tion Will’be completed the present year. The re sistance which has been opposed to their removal by some of tho tribes, even after treaties bad been made with them to that effect, has .-arisen from various causes, operating differently’"oh each of them. In most iustancos tftey have been instiga ted to resistance by persons to whom tho trade with them and the acquisition of their annuities 1 were important; tnd m some hy tho personal in fluence of interested Chiefs. These obstacles must bo overcome; for tbo Government cat not relinquish the execution of this policy without sa crificing important interests, and abandoning tbo tribes remaining cast of the Mississippi to certain destruction. The decrease in numbers of tho tribes with in the limits of the Stales ami Territories has been most rapid. If they be removed, they can bo protected from those associations aud evil practices which exert so pcruicous slid destructive an influence over their destinies.. They can he induced to,labor, and to acquire property; and its inquisition will inspire them with a feeling of independence. Tltvir minds can bo cultivated, ami they can bs taught the value of salutary and uniform laws, uml be made sensible ut the blessings of free govern ment, and capable of enjoying its advantages, In the possession of property, knowledge, ' and a good Government, free to give what direction they please lo their labor, and sharers in tho legislation by which their per sons ohd lire profi’s of their industry arc lo he protected ami secured, they will have an ever present conviction of the importance of union & peace among themselves, and of the pres ervation ofaimcnbla relations with us. The interest* oftho United States would also bo greatly promoted by freeing the relations be tween the General and State Governments from what lias proved a most embarrassing incilmbrancc, by m satisfactory adjustment of conflicting titles to lauds, caused by tire occu pation of tiie| Indians, and by causing tke resources of the whole count.y to be develop ed hy the power of the Stale and General Governments,and improved by tho enterprise of a White popu at on intimately connected with tbi- subject is tbo ob ligation of lire Government lo fulfil its treaty stipu lations, and lo protect tho Indians thus assembled “at their now residences from all interruptions and disturbances from any other tribes or nations of In dians, or from any other person or persons whatso ever," imil tho equally solemn obligation .o guard from Indian hostility its own bottler settlements, stretching along a line of more than one thousand miles. To enable the oGvcrnment lo redeem this pledge to tho Indians, and lo alluril adequate pro tection to its own citizens, will require tho continu al presence of n considerable regular force on the frontiers, and the establishment ol a chain of perma nent puda.

By the report of tho ‘Secretary of the Navy, here with communicated, it appears that uoremitted exer tions have been made ut the different navy yards to carry into effect all authorized measures for the extension and employment ot our naval force. The launching and preparation of the ship of the lino f’ennsylvaiiiu, and the complete repairs oftho ships of the line Übfe-, Dataware, and bulumbus, may he noticed, ns forming a respectable addition toj this important arm of our nalimal defence. Our com merce and navigation have received increased aid and protection during the present year Our squad rons in the i'aeilic and on tho Brazilian station have been much increased, and that in the Meddler ranean, although small, is adequate to the present wants of our commerce in that sea. Additions have been made to our squadron on the West India station, where the large force under '/oniinodore Dallas ha- been most actively and efficiently em ployed in protecting our commerce, in preventing the importation of staves, and in eo-o,.crating whh officers oftho Army in carrying on the war in Flo tilla. „ , The satisfactory condition of our naval force abroad, leaves at our disposal tho means of conven iently providing tor a borne squadron, lor the pro tection of commerce upon our extensive coast. Tito amount of appropriations required fur such a squad ron will be touricl in the general estimates for the naval service lor tho year IB3S. The naval officers engaged upon our coast sur vey have rendered important service to our naviga tion. The discovery of a new channel into the harbor ol A’ew York, through which our largest ships may pass without danger, must afford impor tant commercial advantage* lo that harbor, and raid greatly lo its value as a naval stuiert The aeoit rute survey of George’s shoals oil the coast of Mas sachusetts, lately completed, will rentier compara tively suie a navigation hitherto considered danger ous.

It is needless to dilate o.i the importance of providing such new safeguards ns are within the power of legislation to promote these ends; and I have (little tu ut d to the re; tiinfoendaliuns submitted in the i.ccunipanying papers. By law the term of service of our mn»t impor tant collecting and disbursing officers in tho civil dopartaionls are limited lo lour years, and when reappointed, I heir bunds arercqoiroit lo ho renew ed. The solely of the public is much increased hy this feature of the law, nnd there can bo no doubt that its application lo nil officers entrusted with the collection of disbursement of tho public money, vvliatovoi nuy bo the tenure of their 011 l ics, would bu equally beneficial. 1 therefore recommend, in addition lo such of the suggestions presented by the bends of Depot trncnls ns yen may think useful, a general provision, that all officers of tho Army or Navy,or in the Civil Department, entrusted with llic re eipt or payment of public money, and whose torn! of service is either unlimited or lirr a longer time than four years, bo required to give bonds, with good and sufficient securities, at tl.e expiration of every such period. A change in the period n( terminating the fiscal year,from tho first of October to the first of April, has boon frequently recommended, and appears to be desirable.

At the tin* tU<> difficulties (alluded to in his address) occu ed *i Ihe line, I was indebted id Simeon R.

If h* had demands against the, why did he not appeal to lire laws of the count* y which have doubtlessly lolly provided for such ea. c.* !
