; Twenty-Seventh Congress.
FIRST SESSION
IN SENATE,
"■ '. ' Thursday, June 24, 1841.
The resolution offered by Mr. Buclmnin,
.callingfor a list of all the, removal s'from of
fice since the 4th of March, was taken up.
1 Mr. Mangum moved to amend by adding
, the words “and also, the ■removals from of
fice between the 4th of March 1829 to the
4th of March 1841.”
. 'Mr. Buchanan'expressed his regret that
his call could not be permitted to go to the
President without.being encumbered by this
amendment. He would vote for that amend
ment as a separate proposition; but if his call
were thus encumbered no reply could be ex
pected during this session, even should it
last till the middle of September. He sta
ted that he called for no reasons, although
it had been so stated in all the papers.. Lit
tle Post Masters had been removed at cor
ners ;of cross roads, and no publication was
made. He said the course of the last Ad
ministration had been bolder. Their remo
vals were announced in the Globe. He un-
derstood that the Postmaster General was
removing at the rate of 150 a week. If
there was, a reason he would like to see or
hear it. Amos Kendall, bad as he was re
presented to be, published a register of re
movals. He also wished to show the con
sistency of- the great Whig party. The late
administration made no pledge not to
officers; but there had been many respecta
ble citizens dhn thought that proscription
had been carried too tar. The Whigs had
made great professions of moderation, and
these professions had been believed.- The
Christian who did not act according to his.
professions would be called a hypocrite. He
would not apply such an epithet to the gen
tlemen on this floor. He referred to the o
pinions of Mr. Clay against removals front
office.
Mr. Clay—My opinions are cqually strong
now, but we must yield to necessity. It is
impossible to keep your men in office.
Mr. Buchanan complained'that the plea of
necessity should be alleged as an excuse for
r g. violation.of principle. 'He' referred to the
the tush of.office hunters. If the-present
---administration had only appointed their
friends; when others went .out' : .uf office aa
' their terms expired, that example -would
- have been, followed by succeeding ad mi nis
trations., 1 ; '
Mr. Mcßoberts also opposed the amend
ment on the ground that it would.prevent
the information fro;n-being .received during
the session. Mr. Roberts continued his re
marks, till arrested by the expiration of the
—mq.cnihg.hDur.. i_.....
BANK OF THE UNITED STATES,
The Senate then proceeded to the consid
eration of the bill tp incorporate the subscri
bers to the Fiscal Bank of the U. States.
Mr. Clay rose~and explained the object
and bearing of the bill—speaking until near
8 o’clock.
I Mr. Calhoun desired that the further con
sideration be postponed until to-morrow.
Mr. Clay could not consent to the post
ponement.
Mr. Buchanan appealed to the Senator to
agree to the postponement.
Mr. Clay. Indeed,' I will not.
Mr. Buchanan said if there was any ob
ject like that of delaying the bill, the Sena
tor from Kentucky would be justified “in
putting the screws,” but there was no such'
object: The fact was, that .the Senator, in
explaining the bill, had discussed some of
the most important principles ever connect
ed with the banking system in the country,
... and he hoped, as the Senator had taken his
stand against the postponement, he would
content himself, with simply voting against
it. He hoped the Senate would grant the
brief delay..
MrfClay. Nousverrons. Mr. President,
I call for the yeas and nays.
The- yeas and nays were ordered, and
stood as' follows:
Yeas—Messrs; Allen, Archer, Barrow,
Bales, Bayard, Benton, Buchanan, Calhoun,
Clay, of Alabama, Clayton, Dixpnj Fulton,
Henderson, Huntington, Kerr, King, Linn,

Nays—Messrs. Berrien, Choate, Clay, of
Kentucky,-Evans, Graham, Mangum, Mil
. ler, Morehead, Rives, Simmons,' Smith, of
Indiana, Southard, Woodbridge—lS.
On motion of Mr. Bayard, the Senate took
. up the bill granting the sum of $25,000 to
the family of the late Gen. Harrison.
Mr. Benton opposed- the.bill, and denied
Its constitutionality as well as its expedi
ency.
Mr. Calhoun made some remarks against
the constitutionality of the bill.
’ Messrs. Bayard, Berrien, and Tallmadge
spoke on .the other shle.
Mr. Benton moved to recommit the bill
with instructions to report the ground on
Which the bill was-reported.
The motion was lost, and the bill ordered
to a third reading. -
The Senate adjourned. .

THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
The true democratic policy is to do right,
come what come may. It is to adhere to
principle at all times, in all cases and un
der all circumstances; not to swerve on any
account, or for any reason whatever, from
the path of right, justice, truth and hones-
ty.' "■*
; A temporising policy is not a democratic
policy, although some who call themselves
democrats may-advocate, or.adopt such a
course.
' The democratic party cannot succeed]
never ought to prevail, unless it be true to
the great principles it professes to hold to,
and to. teach. -I If all who profess, to- be de
mocrats were really 'so in feeling,-' speech
ahdiactibn,'there could be no such thing.as
a defeat of the democratic parly; it would
alwavs-prevail in, any country, where the
people, are as enlightened as in this.
sometimes retarded in its prog
ress, nay£%ften defeated; by the lukewarm
ness of its supporters, tlife unfaithfulness of
its advocates, and the treachery of its false
friends., "But it has triumphed, and can and
will triumph over-all these obstacles, and.
shed light, and .intelligence and liberty,
throughout the world.' ~n; , ;
And thus lias it been with the cause of
Democracy. The.people have 1 again and a
gain, in former ages and various parts of the
world, been betrayed by traitors in disguise,
and yet civilization has advanced, and the
love of liberty still lives in the hearts of
millions, and if will, 'some time, raise\the
down-trodden to their proper elevation.
* All are not of the democratic party who
call themselves democrats; all are not of the
federal party who call themselves “wliigs.”
■ 'There are, no fl doubt; many true democrats
. among the “wliigs;” there are some as real
aristocrats as can be found any where, who
profess to be democrats, and are now acting
with the democratic party.,
The late, defeat of the democratic party
was, in some measure, owing to the' falae
heartedness and treachery of its professed
supporters. These 1 have always been the
advocates of a temporising policy—and this
policy, when adopted, is always sure to
bring defeat.
The democratic-principle, if worth advo
cating at all, should never be compromised,
one jot or tittle of it, but adhered to, to the
letter and spirit. Every man who callshim
self a democrat should go tv/iere democratic
principles lead, and token they disappear he
should halt, and go not an inch farther.
It is not uncommon to hear-persons who
call-themselves democrats, say: “It is not
good policy to say this, or do that.” And
why? Is it not true, and ought it not to be
done? ’ O yes; but the time has not arrived,
the people are not prepared for it. Now we
differ from this, class in toto. The people
mot prepared for Truth—not ready to sanc -
tion a good action I It is a libel upon them.
Declare it; do it. They must hear the Truth
to know it; see the act to approve it, and
the sooner the'one is decided ahd the other
done the better. Some circumstances alter
some cases, but no circumstances or cases
should prevent the performance of a noble
act,'or the declaration of a great Truth.
What, then, in' accordance twith these
principles," is the duly of the democratic
party? What its true policy?
To declare openly and boldly its princi
ples, Without fear or favor; to practice what
it preaches; to be ready at all times to give
ded.' Jtts’ advocates must beilruc io

The Fiscal JMgent-
This- thing which has lately excited so
much curiosity, turns out'to be a Bank,
proposed to be called “ The Fiscal Bank of
the United Slates '
" The features of the plan are as follows,
viz; :, ' x
A Bank wtth a‘capital ofjhirty millions
of dollars loclt’ed'in the District ofColum
bia, with power, to. establish branches within
the States, with the consent of their Legis
latures: ’ . ,•
The United States to take six millions of
'the stock; the States ten millions, and the
remaining fourteen millions to be taken by
private citizens. The U. S. portion of the
stock to be paid in U. S. five per cent bonds,
redeemable after fifteen years, and the
States’ portion to.be paid in similar U. S.
bonds, to the amount of the fourth instal
ment, or in the State bonds, with a pledge
that the profits of the Bank belonging to the
States, shall be applied to paying, the inter
est on their bonds, and that the proceeds of
the public lands shall be set apart to reim
burse the principal:
If none of • the stock be assigned to the
States, it is then recommended that the U
nited States take ten millions:. . -.
The stockholders tg appoint live Direc
tors, and the President of the United States
;wo; the Directory to choose the President
and officers'of the Bank, and three or five
Directors of each Branch; two to be appoint
ed by the Legislatures of the stockholding
states in which they may be located:
• The public moneys to be kept in the Bank,
and its notes receivable foyall public dues
—to receive and transmit all. public mon
eys, and to do the duties of pension agent
without compensation: . *
Dividends limited to 6 per cent—all sur
plus over two'millions to be paid into the.
treasury-^—shall not owe more than 20 mil
lions over ila depoaites— i shal! hot have due
tojt.more than the aniouht of its capital,
withTs per cent added—shall make no new
loan when its nolea in circulation are more
lhan three times thie aihount-of. its specie on
hand—shall deal only in coin, bullion, pro
missory notes and inland bills of
shall.takc but 6 per cent' on loans— shall
discount no.notc,'nor buy any: bill having
over 180 days to run—shall renew/ no’debt
—shall not lend the U. States more than
three millions’, or any State-over 9100,000,
unless-authorized by law—shall contract no
.debt for a longer term than one year—shall
issue no notes less than ten
make no loan to any officer of the Hank, or
upon his security, except Directors of Bran
ches, thatallits books be open to the in
spection of the Secretary of the Treasury,
to a committee of Congress, to each Direc
tor, and to a committee of the Stockhold
ers. ...
The branches not to issue notes for cir
culation, but may sell drafts not ■ less than
950.
The Bank not to suspend specie payments,
to pay but nothing but coin, bullion, or its
own notes,.to exist for. 30 years, :no other
Bank to be established by Congress; Con
gress may order tlie establishment of offices
of discount and depasite wherever the safne
may be necessary for public purposes.
These are the features of the CALIBAN
which is-to be christened- 'The Fiscal Bank
of the United States!”
There is one feature among them which
makes it infinitely worse than either of the
former Banks of the United States. Ham
ilton’s Bank was an association of private
stockholders merely. Not having power or
influence enough to perpetuate this breach
on the Constitution against the Democracy,
the second Bank took the General Govern
ment into partnership. Even, this expedi
ent did not succeed in sustaining the second
usurpation. The third proje.ct proposes to
embrace all the Stale Governments in- the
corrupt partnership, in the' apparent hope
that a plan is finally devised by which this
breach on our Constitution may be made
permanent. And to BUY* the assent of the
Stales to this monstrous scheme, it is pro
posed to furnish them with the means to,
pay for their slock! ■ .
What vail be the immediate result if-this
“Fiscal Bank” shall be established and ac
quire the confidence of capitalists? Most
of the fourteen millions of private stock
would be immediately transferred to the
London Bankers. It will become a part
nership between the Barings, <fc., the U
niled States, and the several States but as
WMM
currency and i
trade' foreign and domestic, the'controllers ,
of our industry, the 'keepers of bur public
money, and the masters of our government!
Not havingfoom now to dissect this scheme
at length.-we content- ourself- with adding,
that it cannot constitutional
scruples "honestly entertained, being buf-'n
bungling.attempt to evade the constitution.
Who' is fool enough to 'believe (hat thirty
millions'pf'banking capital is necessary for
the-business ofthis ten miles-square?-What'
honest Inan canthink that a measure in it
self unconstitutional, can be made constitu
tional by the mere assent of Congress and a
State Legislature?
If this project Have the assent of the Pre
sident. we give him up: he sinks into the
mere instrument of the SENATORIAL
DICTATOR. If it have not his assent,
then his Secretary of the Treasury is enga
ged in a conspiracy against him!
REGULATING EXCHANGES;—The
Boston D. Advertiser, a lending federal pa
per in that city, repudiates the idea, so very
generally entertained by the friends of a
National Bank, of its having, the power to
"regulate exchanges.’?. We are pleased to
see the light breaking in upon ’.this quarter
where there are so many ardent supporters
of a National Bank;—it is a strong evidence
that reflection and experience arc doing their
work.— Ball. Repub.
"One great faliac'y of the late United
States Bank, was the idea of regulating the
Exchanges. It will nut bear a moment’s
examination. Exchanges arc regulated by
the course of trade—and there is not and
cannot be in the nature of things arty other
regulator. All other interference deranges
them. It is like interfering with the order
of nature and of the seasons. Xfcan do no
thing but mischief. ' Who has not seen, that
has looked at the course of the late Bank of
the United States, great mischief under the
pretence of regulation. And what can be
more certain and inevitable than that a great
and powerful institution can, create tempo
rary derangement and rise and fall fur its
own- purposes; : This, however, could be
endured if the only loss to the community
were gain to (he bank. But the difficulty
is, that it disturbs the natural course of
trade, and baffles all calculation: it is like
the vice of over legislation, constantly and
inevitably mischievous and baneful. No
body can doubt this. There is no regulat
ing exchangesin Europe, and the problem
in England is, how to place the bank of
England so that the exchanges may regulate
themselves. Who does not see that the
Bank of England is-constantly making mis
takes and creahng difficulty, and in the na
ture of things it cannot be otherwise.”
THEIR MOUTHS SHUT THEIR
GUNS SPIKED.—Never was there shown
to the world so complete an exposure of
humbuggery as has been exhibited.to the Ar,
merican people by the Whig party since its
accession to power. Having stolen into the
high places of trust by every
species of humbuggery antT'delusion, they
now stand before the world in all their na
ked deformity,—the masks' having been,
torn off,—they noiv exhibit, in the place of
patriots and statesmen, anxious to promote,
the real interests of the community at large,
a heterogeneous jumble of selfish politicians,
haying but one single object in view—the
power and patronage of the Government.—
So completely are they exposed, they have
no other resort than "to attempt the same
game now that they did during the late cam
paign, viz: keep their mouths shut upon all
questions of importance—prevent discus
sion, and . drive, straight forward oyer the.
Constitution and Vmhes of the people, to
the goal of their single desires—the flesh
pots and the fishes. In the House and .out
of . guns'are' spiked; ,their presses,
with blit Tew exceptions, are: muzzled; and
they dare not meet their opponents in inanly
arguments anddiacussion-f-because theyfcol
tlleir weakness ahd utter inability to sustain
before the, public their, untenable position.

they have started the cry of “action! action!
and not words!” , . • ’ , ■
They know full well that the cry of econ
omy, and-the urgent necessity of , the pas-,
sage of their different schemes, to cheat-and
defraud the people, are based upon"no olhef
motives, than (hat of a fearful anxiety for
the fate of these measures;—fearful lest the
voice of, the people, already heard in the
distance,in their primary assemblagcs.should
reach the Senate 'and. the House in such
tones, as would not fail to paralyze the up
lifted arm that is about to strike a desperate'
and fatal blow, at the Constitution of the
countf-y! and the liberties- of the people.—
They wish to force their monster'through,
before the people have rallied against it; —
and hence their, indecent haste; —their gags,
and their silence. We warn them now, that
all their haste will avail them nothing in the
end—that the great mass of this powerful
Republic will not permit the Constitution
of their choice to be violated by the creation
of a Bank, which-they have emphatically
condemned. We tell them thus early, that
the Democratic, party have declared “un
compromising hostility to a United'State?
Bank,” —and that if such an institution is
furced-upon them, they will not rest satisfi
ed until its charter has been repealed. We
have got the right and the- might; and will
exercise both to the fullest extent, when the
proper time arrives. As to Mr. Clay’s talk
about civil waf, it will be found to be on a
par with his predictions of “war, pestilence,
and famine.^ — Balt. Republican.
A CONTRAST.—A correspondent has
called our attention Jo the remarkable dif
ference between two establishments, situa
ted on opposite sides of the same street, in
(his city.
On the north.side of Library street,between
Fourth and Fifth, is a splendid marble buil-.
ding, in which bank notes are fabricated.'—
On the south side ami directly opposite is a
plain workshop ip. which printing presses
arc made.

sfands and wields his hammer; in the other,
men in silk sit, and wield their pens fur (he

.The legislature occupies itself, day after,
dayand week after'week, in devising means
for-the cspeciaUfavoring of- the- tenants of
the marble palace, and to secure tlffim a
gajnst being.obliged, to perform their con
tracts according -to the., manner originally
provided, and to relieve them from the pen
alty attached by law to non-performance;
ButTnot one single-member of the legisla
ture ever rises to. propose that the tenant
of the workshop shall be excused from the
payment of his debts, or that the law oblig
ing hin> to pay shall he rendered less effec
tual, or that if he fails to do his work ac
cording -to contract, he shall be relieved
from the payment of damages to the' party
injured.
Why should there be distinction? Why
should the man who makes useful instru
ments be less cared fur than those who make
paper promises? Why should the owners
or occupants of the palace be mure favored
than the owner or occupant of (he work
shop? Is it that the kind of industry carri
ed oh in (he former, is more meritorious
than that in the latter? Or is it that the
business of the former will be sufficiently
attended to without special legislative favor,
while men cannot be found Willing to fol
low the business of making and loaning pro
mises, without special and extraordinary en
couragement is extended to them?—Penn

THE PRESIDENT AND MR. CLAY.
On the 19th ulf. the House organized, dr
at least agreed'to do so by a vote of 119
ayes .103 nocs. During the discussion con
sequent upon' the question, this brush be
tween Mr. Wise, who speaks for (he Presi
dent, and Mr. Marshall, of Ky., who speaks
fur Mr. Clay, attracted attention, as exhib
iting the jealousies and embittered state of
feeling which is known to prevail between
the two markeif divisions of the “whig”
party. The Globe has this-sketch of the
affair:— ' -
“Mr. Wise now-obtained the floor. He
should go agiinst the previous question, to
settle the question now; ,He said a speech
of Rufus King, on this floor had caused an
insurrection in Charleston, South Carolina.
He believed delay in settling the question
would cause alarming effects. He said the
new census would reduce the South' to. a
still smaller portion of Congress, and that if
it was now. delayed, the Southern represen
tatives would be overwhelmed by the new'
quota froth the free states.. He considered
the debate upon this question as a debate
upon a- subject of vast importance to the
South. He considered public time as valu
able at one time as at another, as valuable
at the regular as at the extra session. He
was for settling it now, so that the house
could proceed to business. He charged the
delay in the organization of the House to
the Northern wliig members,'who,. by their
vote,s, had said that .this'house should not
be organized until the 21st rule was rescin
ded. 0.,
“Mr. Marshall of Kentucky sprang to
his feet' with Mr. Fillmore of. New York.—
Mr. Marshall was recognized by the Speak
er;’[but, out of courtesy, permitted Mr.
Fillmore to ask a question; | lie said that
Mr. Adams and Mr. Wise were both against
the resolution, and yet they opposed each
other.' _He' thought- that Mr. Adams and
Mr. Wise could agree upon no. one thing
but to oppose each other with all tfieir might.
He considered that by laying; all petitions
uponthe table; excepting those in -favor of
& general bankrupt'law, the house had deni:
ed the right of petition to every body else.
He complimented' Messrs; Wise and Ad
ams. aha said that if they had been left out
of the House he had rib doubt but that the
House would-have organized long ago. _ He
said Mr. Tyler never was- made President
by his yote hr the votes of his people. They,
yoted for Tip but cared hot for Ty. He
was made President by an’actof God;' - He
hinted- that Mr. Tyler’s friends on-the-floor
had interfered to prevent ah organization of
the house so as ter make the extra session hr
dious to the people;-afid-thas’earryhutthe
prophecy of Mr; 'Wise; that it wpuld ehd in
disgrace. He said he would forgive Mr.
Adams for his attack upon the institutions
of the South, if he would only come along
with.him,.now, and vote to organise the
house. lie said that Harrison was elected
as an anti-Abolitionist. ‘ He had denied be
ing an abolitionist under his ownhand, and
had.said that the discussion of the subject
among the pedplewas unconstitutional.
“Mr. Wise now replied to Mr. Marshall,
and thanked, him for an inkling of the- pro
posed c&urse to be pursued by the whig par
ty. He said that some of his friends voted
for Tip who would no£ have voted for him,
had it not been fur his' being found on the
ticket with Ty. He said that if Kentucky
and New England wished to unite as, they
had done once* before, he for one was ready
to fall' back upon his first principles.
“Mr. Kennedy of Indiana said that his
parly did not prevent the organization of
the house. He said the whig party caused
the disorder, and that if. fifty of the wings
-would-retire : from-the hall, he would pledge
himself to have the house organized in half
a day by the democratic party. .
“Mr? CnsiiiNtKpf Mass., asknowledgcd
the fact that the whigs caused the disorgan
ization of the house. He recognized no ad
ministration party on this floor but the par
ty “of John Tyler. He thought the house
should organize and cease this eternal war
of ?words, words, words!—or the people
would send another Cromwell todrivifihem
out, &c.” -
THE REMOVAL OF GEN. HARRI
SON’S REMAINS.—This ceremony took
place at Washington; on Saturday, both
Houses of Congress being adjourned for the
purpose. Each House appointed a commit
tee of the m'embers, consisting of live Sena
tors and twenty-six Representatives, to join
the Cincinnati committee, and to accompa
ny the body, in its removal, as far as' the
boundary line of the district. t
A slip from the office of the Baltimore A
merican states that the body of President
Harrison reached (hat city, at three o’clock
on Saturday aftornoon. _ It was accompan
ied by his son, John Scott Harrison,and by
the committee of (he citizens of Cincinnati.
ington acted as an escort, and will proceed,
rfith thc body to its . final'
North Rend.. -'EU'e
the fibify and ihose/who accompanied it, was
without any previous' notice, and but com
paratively few of the citizens witnessed its
passage from-the Railroad Dep'of to the Ci
ty Hotel. The remains were .borne along
in silende that was in striking contrast with
the crotvds, the shouts, and the*joyoiis de
monstration which marked his approach to
the self same-sp.pt a few months before.. A
■military guard was . detached from, .one of
the volunteer companies of Baltimore to be'
present while the body remained-in Balti
more. A special train has been tendered
by the officers of the Baltimore and Susque
hanna Railroad Company to convey the re
mains to Columbia.r-Acdg-er.
Rebellion in Arkansas. —The following
information we get from the New York Sun
of Saturday. “One of the grossest and most
atrocious violations of.the law, and defiance
to the constituted authorities that we have
ever heard of, recently occurred in Philips
county, Ark. The regular May term of the
circuit court being about to be held in that
county, much property being advertised to
fie sold, and executions to be 1 levied, a peti
tion signed by two hundred names was ad
dressed to Judge Baker, praying him not to
hold the court. That functionary,' in the
honorable discharge of his duty, proceeded
to Helena, and was on his way to the court,
when the Hall of Justice was forcibly taken
possession of by twenty armed men, who
barricaded the door, refused .admission to
any person, and threatened the sheriff with
death, in case he attempted resistance. The
sheriff- made a requisition upon the Colonel
of the county for fifty-men to enable him to
suppress the rebellion. After this he resign
ed, and the Coroner followed his example,
so that there being no officer to enforce the
laws, and the power to appoint a sheriffpro
tem. devolving on one who himself was a
mong the insurgents, the holding of the
court was wholly prevented, and Judge Ba
ker returned to Columbia.
Important from Peru. —We learn by a
private lette'r.-says the Pennsylvania Inquir
er, received from Lima, that about the first
of April, an important battle was'fought be
tween the Guvei nment forces and the Revo
lutionary party. The action took place near
Arcquippa, and at first the latter party, un
der the. supreme command of Vivanco, was
