But this motion was not agreed to, yeas 39, nays 49. A motion was made to concur in the amendments made by the Senate, to which Mr. Butler moved an amendment,fixing the first of May for the payment of all obliga tion, except deposites made since October last, and they to be paid in September next. At the suggestion of Mr. Hopkins, he mod. ified it to have the payment of notes imme diately. Mr. Snowden opposed the amend ment. Ile said the Senate bill was satis• factory. Mr. Lee was of opinion that the passage of this bill would produce universal distress. He would sustain the views of the Govern or. By indulging the banks, the people were indulged.. The thousands of petitions for indulgence, were mostly from his own party. Mr. Burden was opposed to the amend ment as a halt way measure. It gave a few days indulgence, when it should be for a year, and when the Legislature would be in session. Mr. B. continued at considera ble length in a speech of consummate abil ity and force. Ho went into a history of corporations in the U• States—the turnpike end navigation companies—all democratic measures. Ho referred to the condition of the treasury, and asked members whether their .constituents would be satisfied if they destroyed the banks and left nothing in the Treasury. This bill would reduce the val. ue of every thing, and stop all improve ments, and reduce the wages of labor. But I cannot even give 'a sketch. The debate was continued by Messrs. Hopkins and Butler, when n motion was again made to postpone until Thursday.— This was lost, yeas 42, nays 46. Mr. Chandler again moved to postpone fnr the present, which was lost, yeas 44, nays 44.

LONDON SUNDAY NEwsrArEns.—The newsmen of London, to the number of one hundred and fifty-four,have addressed a me morial to the proprietors of the Sunday pa pers, requesting them to change their day of publication to Saturday. They state that the experiment has been made by the proprietors of Bell's Weekly Messenger, the proprietors of which have abandoned their Sunday edition, and the result has been an increased sale. The newsmen pray earnestly that the example mg}, be followed, that they and their servants may be allowed, like other people, one day of rest. The prayer certainly ought to be granted, for there can be no greater nui• Bence, fraught, moreover, with great moral evil, than the crying of papers on Sunday through the streets. The Sabbath is great ly desecrated by this increasing practice, in New York ; and the evil is increasing under the laxity of public morals, and the inefficiency, or neglect of duty of the police. W e believe no other city in the Union is disgraced by Sunday newspapers. or infest• ed by Sunday newsmen.—/V. Y. Corn. Adv. A PROPOSITION FOR CoNCLIIDING THE FLORIDA WAR.—OOI.

Morris, Esq., has been sentenced tube hung,lor the crime of setting fire to a dwelling house. Laborer. Yes. Senator. Well it is for the benefit of the party and therefore it is your benefit. Laborer. This is not quite clear to me, and 1 am not sartin that it is quite right. But, since you have been to Boston to lee. for I suppose it must bo true. Senntor• I don't see, nisself exactly . how its goon to work, but I have great coat: dunce in Buchanan and Walker ; they say it is all right—and it's now become a party measure, and therefore it must be for the good of the People. Laborer. Will the pay of the members of Congress be diminished? If you are Made Governor next spring, will you get less wages than Governor Ellsworth gets? Will the wages of the Postmaster be redu ced ? Senator. The officers will all get as much as they do now, which may be worth a tri fle more if every thing else is reduced one half. This is an incidental benefit, and could'nt well be otherwiie. Laborer. Then the office-holders will all be benefited by the sub Treasury bill, will they sir? Senator. Yes—a kind of incidental bene fit, which we do not see well how to avoid. Laborer. And the laborers, Mr. Sena tor --- Senator. Yes, the laborers will get a kind of general benefit, which is not very easy to explain—but still, they will know it when it c oozes. Laborer. You don't suppose, Mr. Sena• tor, that the benefit which the officers are to receive from the sub• Treasury bill is any reason why they are all in its favor, do you? Senator. Oh, no I by no means. They are in its favor, because it is for the good of the party. They don't want any thing from it for themselves. Laborer. I wish I could be a little more saran about this reducing the price or la bor being such a good thing. Senator. You must rely a little on your party—they will do every thing right. Laborer. Yes I know that ; but now, in our town, neighbor Leavenworth's factory is sloped, and all his hands are discharged. I usrd to get good wages and money was plenty ; but now labor is down nobody has any employment, and I cannot get a six. pence. Senator. I tell you. neighbor, you must have confidence. It is a good thing to have labor down. I can now hire a man to work in my garden next summer for eight dollars a month, instead of sixteen, by which I shall make a clean saving of fifty dollars. Laborer. But will that be a benefit to the laboring man or to you? Senator. It will be a kind of incidental bcnitt to me, and a kind of natural conse quence to him. - Laborer. 1 cannot exactly see ; Mr. Sen. ator, how labor is having wages reduced to one-half. Some a our neighbors have a notion that the office-holders arc in favor of it because their salaries will be worth more than they are now. Setiator.

Every bankrupt, surrendering nll his property and rights of property for the ben , efit of his creditors, and conforming to all lother requisitions of the act, shall be enti• tied to a full discharge from all his debts, and shall receive a certificate of discharge from the proper tribunal.

Riven, of Virginia, has publish ed in the %ladisonian a tong and able letter upon the lending political tapirs ol the day, hnviag specially in view the exhibition ol Mr. Van Buren's unworthiness for the first executive office in the natthn, and the pro priety of sustaining Gen. Harrison in oppo sition to him at the next election. The writer enters into a full exposition of the principles mid course a the administra• tion an the one hand. and on the other cites passages from ,the numerous writings of Harrison, and makes reference to his pub tic acts. In conclusion, he thus sums up his reasons for supporting the latter. Nat. Gazette. "Regarding General Harrison, for rea sons 1 have mentioned, as the true Repub lican candidate for the Presidency of the two now presented to the choice of the country, 1 shall unhesitatingly give him my support. 1 shall do so with the more cheer fulness because while hest consulting there• It will be remarked that the Senate was a Whig body in 1835, but had become bitter ly Van Buren in 1839. To "Officers of the Senate," 812,452 were paid in 1835, and so up to $18,753 in 1838. The "Contingent Expenses of the Sen ate" were 585,550 in 1835, and had Swelle.d to $127,823 in 1838. The expenditures of the 1 - louse have been Increased in nearly equal proportion—its "Contingent Expenses" for instance from $199,950 in 18:15 to 8373,969 in 1898. Ir► the 'l'rensury department. the salaries have increased from $246,201 to $:i37,013, and the "Contingent Expenses" in proper Lion. In the War Department, the salaries have increased from $84,328 to $122,111. In the General Post Office, under the management of that eternal babbler of ecore oiny, fidelity and efficiency, Amos Kendall, the salaries have increased in three years from $91,288 to $136,996; and the "Con angent Expenses" from $9,140 to $23,656. The Territories are found very conveni ent for pensioning off and shall•feeding dam aged politicians,who cannot be provided for or will not be endured where they are bet ter known. For the Government of lowa Territory alone, the United States paid in 1838 the enormous sum of 878,976: which is more than the entire annual disburse ments of either of the Whtg Governments of Connecticut or Vermont. The expenses of the Judiciary of the U. States have not increased. They were 8405,069 in 1885; $352,433 in '36; $309,- 708 in '37; and $378,873 in 1839. On "Public Grounds." there were ex pended $4,100 in 1835; 844,500 in '3O; $47 564 in 'B7; and $85,490 in 1838.-- Three fourth of this is thrown away, and the remainder not needed. For "Building Custom Houses," there was expended the sum of 8363,6:39 in '35 $376,959 in 'B6, 8174,600 in '37, and 8264,2:25 in 1838. A good portion of this is shamefully misapplied and wasted--being peel to partizan Inspectors, end other mere lookers-on, who receive large salaries and earn them in electioneering for Van Buren. Under the head of ' Additional Compri. station to Collectors, Naval Officers, Sur veyors, and others.',' their was paid 840 200 in 1835 and 8190,354 in 1838. As these gentlemen are ail paid very good salaries by law, we 'believe these "Additional" thousands below , r . in the same list with Mr. Barry's " Extra Allowances" to Mail Con tractors fur valuable political services. Under the head of "Smithson Lrgacy," it appears that that interesting and stern smiled Patriot, Mr. Richard Rush, was paid 815,000 in . 1 839 and '7 for going to England and getting the money bequeathed in trust to the U• States by Mr. Smithson. The duty might well end properly hnvn been performed by our Minister or Consul at London without an expense of fifty dollars! This measure, too, is proposed and sup ported by those who profess a great nfF•c tion for the "dear people," and especially for the poor. Yes, such an efrection as the hawk bears to the chicken, or the wt If to the lamb! I am not surprised that great capitalists, and those who haYe money on interest,well secured, should be in favor of this measure, fur the value of every dollar of their money will be doubled or four-folded; that is, one dollar will purchase as much of any kind of property as four did before. But that they should be able to make the poor man, or the man in middling cir cumstances (but who owes money) believo that it is for his interest to support such a measure, I confe•s 1 am surprised. Let us look at the condition of that man, who has bought a term worth two thousand dollars, and by dint of hard labor and econ omy has succeeded in paying all but five hunched. The Sub-Treasury goes into. operation; Banks and the credit system are annihilated; one dollar in specie is worth, as much as four in bills, his property dim;n ishescihree-fourtl s in value, mid he finds ho can hardly pay the interest on his money. At length his creditor demands his money, —he is obliged to sell his farm for what it will fetch—and if he succeeds in selling it at u fair pi ice ho may be able to raise his 500 dollars•—tho 1500 which he has already paid by "toiling early and late and eating the bread of carefulness" is all lust—and the man is left a beggar —n victim of that sys tem, which, perhaps, he once ardently sup ported. There is also another class of men who will be benefited by the adoption of tho specie systcm. I menu the (Iffice holders and salary men. Think • you that Martin Vivo Buren and his bust of satellites, who aro so mnch in favor of a specie currency, will consent to have their salaries reduced in proportion to the value of other property and manual labor? And yet is it not rea sonable and right that they Should? But no, they will claim their full salaries, and that ton in specie—while the poor man con tributes from his scanty wages, to support their pride and extravaganc e ?. sup ,, pose will he called bonefitting'tho poor!"

Throe months of the session occupied in passing three bills! Only think of it.

The exterminating war against the Baas was instituted at the bidding of the President—it is opposed by the Governor of the commonwealth— it is pressed by daily communications from Wash ington, and the ultra anti-Bank party are now rabid with the disease, determined upon securing their prey, let the State be •' a scene of ruin and dieastcr from the centre to the circumference" or not. This mad policy has opened the eyes of some to see the true aims of the Van Buren par ty ; and when the infamous scheme, whose true character has but now been openly and exulting ly avowed upon the floor of the Senate of the U nited States, shall have begun to operate upon the people as it may shortly do—when the whole people shall have experienced a double stagnation of trade, by the hard operation of the Sub-Trea sury against the poorer classes—the honest yeo manry of the country will rise and strike for re dress ; remove the corrupt dictation ; and record upon the roll of infamy, the names of those who have advocated these schemes, which would crush the nation, and open a way for such men to spec ulate upon the wreck of the credit system.

The meeting was organized by calling SAMUEL wiTHERow, Sen. to the Chair, and appointing Messrs. J. HECK and S. B. MEAD, Vice Presidents, and Messrs. J. Welsh and D. Trimmer, Sec retaries.

F..sl'Conaughy, Esq. and James Piercy. The committee having retired, JAMES DOBBIN, Esq. was called on to address the meeting, which call was responded to, by very appropriate remarks, from that gen tleman. Mr. M ' CONAVOKY, from the committee to report resolutions, presented the follow ing, which were . unanimously adopted, and addressed the meeting at same length. %V la:netts, the Administration of the General Government has adopted measures of public policy, which have operated to re• duce the prices of the agricultural products of our farmers, the wages of the laborer, and at the same time to paralyze the com mercial prosperity of the country, and de range the currency; and whereas this state of things, indicates the necessity of a change of our rulers, the peaceful and constitutional mode of redressing grievances end restoring pro-pt•rity to the country; therefore Resolved, That we are opposed to those measures of the general Government,which haw. tended to reduce the value of the pro• ducts of our farmers, and bring down the wages of the laboring man, to an equality Rewlned, That a sommittee of five be appointed to frame a constitution for the Bove "mold of said Club.

Resolved, Punt in these times of general distress and threatened rein, it is the duty of those who hold correct doctrines to vete for no man, fur any office, however small, who advocates the destructive principles, which have brought the country to its pres ent deplorable condition. Resolved, As the deliberate opinion of this meeting, that any friend of Harrison who at the ensuing election votes for a Van Buren man, for any ofTic..., is recreant to his party, a traitor to his principles, and de serves to be treated, in all things, as one of the enemy; in this struggle, ho who is not wholly for us, is against us. Hon. JAMES COOPER being present was enthusiastically called on to address the meeting, which he did in his ustrd happy style, amidst bursts of applawe from the audience Resolved, That this meeting adjourn to meet on the evening of the 11th inst., at the American Hotel, and that the commit tee appointed to frame a constitution be re• quested to report the same, for considera tion to said meeting.
