The Coiiunitiee suggest, for the security

With an extensive loan of money, on easy
Mirm-. and tho Hlste led perfectly secure from

no mean-, so effectual to secure tlm Govern

One million ul dollars w. l yield eonna! y.

winch will leave annually, #WKH) to he ap
propriated to tin) work. Wuli 310.000 "
the U.t named sum, at least sixty aide bodied
claves could maddy bo purchased—which
would leave OIO.tXKI per annum, over and
above tl.e purchase ol slaves, with which
they would be overlooked and prov s oiled.
Thus, m less titan six years, near (our bun.
di«ri negro men. would bo placed up-... the
Rank of tho river. On immense aggregate ol
whose labours, would in a comparatively alien
period of lime, restrain the water* within
their channel, and redeem from inundation, a
’ vast body of lands, surpassed m fertility by
an other on the habitable Globe.
In these calculations, yPur Committee have
endeavored to keep far within the limits o'
probability, and, in all instances, I heir es'i-
Riatua are below, rather than above, the true
ai« year* from the dale of the
loan, near *OO slaves could be pure hoard
and distributed upon the Savannah river
bank, whose labor* would he lolly aullkiont
to effect the desired object. The balance ol
interest, amounting to 350 0(10 per annum,
accruing on the uuoxpued loan for 85 or -10
years then to come, would he readily yielded
up to the Slate of G nirg a by the corporation
«t land-holders; as their only objoct’m apply
ing for tho credit of tho S ale, is to affect
tho salvation of those lands, which, if effect
ed will be not only a p.ivatc, but a grfal and
luting public bom fit. That object accom
plished, tbc projectors desire to turn oicr
the remaining microti of the unexpirod loan
to the S'tie, t' l be applied uniter lo the ebol •
tton ot taxes, to other works ol Internal Im
provement, or to any other object of general
interest ; and they would only nsk permission
tn retain in their hands tho slaves purchas
ed with the exes* of interest, in order to
/opsir such breaches in tbo work aa tnno or
accident might produce-
Your Ceuimittoo beg leave to eay, that
while they ardeu'ly desire to prosecute this
great work to a successful completion, they I
are far Iron* being exclusive, aolfish, or sec- I
tmnal in rtieir views. Tney believe that ll*c |
principle ot aiding works ol improvement
with the credit ol the Slate, should be recogm
a»d in Georgia as a general principle, the
benefits »l which should be accessible lo all
who may desire to partake of them. Hot
while the principle is recogmr-d as general,
your (Joinmiitoc believe that ill? only practi
eable wav of effecting the completion ot aucu
works, is lo kvep every project, plan, or pro
posed work of improvement, separate and
distinct—each proposition resting on its own
merits, as to utili y and practicability.
Your Committee ask leave, resjK-ctfully to
refer to the subjoined Report, adopted by the
Legislature of and also, to the corres
pondence of the Stale Geologist, in exposi

Tbe Special Committee, lo whom were refer
red the resolutions from tbo several Stales ol
j I’enn-ylviiiiia, Ohio, New- Jersey, Vermont, ana
Illinois, beg leave to REPORT, That bey have
bad iho same under consideration, and find, that
Hie S.uie of Pennsylvania, by its resolution, ha*
propo ed an amenibncm to the Constitution in
iho words following to wit: 'That •• Congress
shall make no law pi erect or incorporate any
bank or otb .r monied in.lilulion except within
the district ol Columbia; and every bank
or other monied institution which shall be e.-.-
labli.died by die authority of Congress, shall
tagcllier with us branches and offices of discount
and doposite, be confined io Iho District ot Co
lumbia ;” in which dial Stale requests die con
vuireiirouf her sister Stales; Tnat the Slates ol
Obln and Illinois have concurred wi ll Pennsyl
vania in die proposed amendment; and liar die I
Sates ot New Jersey and VeiuV'iit have disa- .
greo therein, o iut eomniiitce arc unanimous
ly ol opinion, that as Cengre s« l« constitution
ally vetted with the right lo incorporate a bank,
it w ould he unwise and impolitic to restrict is
upcraliurisjwithm such narrow limits as the Dis
trict of Columbia. They apprehend no da ger
from the exciciso of the powers w hich the pen
pie of die United States nave confided in Gon
gross; hut behove that in the e\tr. iso of these
powers, that body will render them subservient to
the great purposes of ounulional compact. Your
Commi'tec therefore ta g leave lo recommend to
this House the following resolutions!
Jtesolvetl, That the Legislature of the Slam of
South Carolina do noi .oneur in the amendment
of the Iniiisiuulioii of the Oni'ed States, propos
ed by Pennsylvania in the following woids:—
“Cnngtess shall make no law lo erect or incorpo
rate any bank or oilier monied institution, except
within the District of Columbia; and evoiy bank
or oilier monied institution which shall be ealab.
• bribed by die authority ot Congress, shall, togelh
. er with its brandies ami offices of discount and
deposits, be confined lo the District nf Columbia.”
Uetolvtd, That the Governor of tins State be
requested io transmit copies of Ihe foregoing re
solution lo’be executives of the several Stales,
with a request that they lay the same before the

WASHINGTON. D;c. 9di,1837.
B i tli houses of Congress took a recess from
Thursday lo Monday. This short interval was
necessary in order lo give Iho members leisure
lo look about thorn, establish themselves in their
winter .quarters, put their books, papers, Ac. in
proper order, and pay the usual visits of courtesy
and friendship.
Ir; Washington, Friday ami Saturday arc the
great visidng days especially during the fir-t
week ol tbe session. A stranger cannot fail to
bo struck with the far greater number of carriage s
hacks, buggies, and vehicles of all sorts that rum- '
Ido along Pennsylvania, and scud across the va
cant lota ol iho “city of Distances ’ on those davg,
than on any others of the seven. The members
of Congress frequent accompanied hy some of
their CMistiluenla who happen lo be in town, and
wish lo see all “the Linns” the fashionable visit
ors from various quarters who arc attracted hither
by the gayetics of the season—the cilixcns of the
District who are intent on making a display—
were yesterday all hurrying lo the House* of the
officers of Government, the; Foreign Ministers,
and oilier pany-givmg people lo leave their cards.
President Van Uuren bad a sort of levee from
one o’clock to four—so numinous Were bis visit
ora. 'The President lookr pale and thinner than
when I «aw him last but bo was, as usual anima
ted and cheerful in Ins manners, and received his
visitors of all parties widi his usual cordiality.
Many of the rooms of "the Palace ” h«v o been
re-furnished with appropriate richness and elc-
I gancc—there is nothing, however, extravagant
jin style or finishing of the furniture er apart-
I menu—though they are certainly magnificent in
I comparison of tbe plainness and simplicity which
I marked every thing about the house in the days
of all General Jackson’s predecessors—and esuc
-1 dally si the period when the base Expu„g,. r
| wrote his East Room letter to the Richmond L
quirt r.
Mr. Pontois, the new Minister from France, a
gentleman distinguished for talents and accom
plishment*, and piofuso hospitality, almost vied
with iho Chief Magistrate in the number of his
visitors. His splendid patties will make him a
favorite with the ladies; and, as he has brought
with him one of the beat cooks in all Fran e
there is no question limt ho will become not less
popular among their husbands, father*, and bro
liters.
A homage of a higher kind than was paid ei.
(her to Mr. Van Uuren or the representative of
Louis Phdlippe, a homage of the heart, was of.
feired by those who ihronged.ihe drawing rooms
of Mrs. Madison. This distinguished lady is now
in a gr-en old age. and yet retains all of the dig
nity amt the ata ml tact, and much ol the liveli
ness lor which the was so remarkable, w |,en her
illustrious husband filled Ilia first office u s il,«
pun. It i* truly delightful in hear from this sen
eraud prison, Who OuV he regarded U • hsmf • ‘
connecting link betllcan the ls»t generation and ,
tin | re ml—anecdotes, illo«>rative of the inci-1
den's of by-g.>ne days, and personal akeloai-s ol t
the acl'Ts in dillcnoil inomorublu aceues. Long
may she live, lo enjoy the honor and affectionate ,
respect with which she is universally regarded. j
Tur. Vick Phssidk.vt !—I must nolforget ,
him. He excites lililo or no attention. ' cry j ll
few take the trouble to assure him that they ar> '
dfcareof bis existence by visits in person. Most
I send their cards at an hour, which il i* known,
lie is at the Senate. The truth is, the parly be
gin to find Col. Johnson is worse than a bore (
he is a Hninix ; and of very heavy weight. II j
tbe Van Buren Senators have any sense of dig
nity, or any perception of the ridiculous and con-
lemplible, they must be daily punished for their
subserviency to Rucker dictation, by the daily ; |
exhibitions their presiding officer makes. Not I
only is he utterly incompetent lo decide any
question of order, but he is absolutely bewildered z
when obliged by bis position to go through the I
most ordinary routine of business. He does not j
know even the names of the States to which the
j different Senators belong. On Tnursday, Mr.
Prentiss of Vermont, rose lo make a motion —
Col. Johnson announced him as “ the Senator 1
from Maryland I” The same grutleman shortly
afterwards offered a petition, and the Colonel (
having percei'eJ, from the hardly suppressor '
smiles of those present, that he had committed a
blunder, improved u"on il by announcing liim>
lids lime, as “ tbo Senator from Massachusetts!” ,
He has no knowledge at all of wbat bills, reso
lutiuns, Executive messages, or other matters |
arc on bis table ; and, on Thursday, different
Senators had lo remind him several times of *
wha he ought lo do. It is too bad. He ought s
i to vacate a post for the most unimportant du
ties of which, ho is entirely unfitted. It gives i
mo no pleasure lo notice these things; on the
contrary, I never visit the Senate Chamber, with- ■
out being failed an.l mortified ot tbe discredit
which has been thrown upon ibis body, and lo r
some extent, on the country, by the success ot *
caucus dictation, in placing a man without any i
| ideas —a man of vulgar la-les and bald's, anil en- J
tirely deficient In personal dignity, in the second I
olfice of tbe nation.
Colonel Johnson had his bust taken recently,
while in New York. There is a good story about
it. Mr. Francis Granger called upon him—the ,
I Colonel complained of pain in bis eyes ; he said i
•‘the wretch played tbo devil with my eyes j [
when he took Ibu cast, I opened them too soon.”
“ Well Colonel,” replied Granger, “you atecet
i tainly the first man of your party that has opened
hit eyes too soon !" M.
