Mr. Upshur denies that ho advocated an uncon ditional and immediate dissolution of the Union, but admits that he advocated o dissolution rather tban that tho National Government should not change its policy. Ho at tho same time insinuates that Butts lias nut been in the habit of keeping as good company as himself. Mr, Bolts replies that ho is as good as Mr, Upshur, , and keeps os good society, and pledges himself to prove that Mr. Upshur did advocate, in conversation With him, an immediate and unqualified dissolution. 1 The controversy reals here for the-’present—being a I question of-veracity between Ihe.two Whig bonorablca.

Tne Executive, by the Constitu tion, has no directory power over the public Treasury. The Constitution ha's wisely de posited that witli lite Treasurer, an officer elected by iite joint vote of the Senate and House of Repiesentanves. .Si ill, under (he injunction to see the laws faitlilully'execut ed, I could not be ihditfdrtmt.tnlheiiibjebt, —anil on'more th in one occ.islon, previous to tbe .meeting of the Legislature, i suggest ed to that functionary’ the propriety uf remo-, ving lhe public fnnds from- that instituiiW. The suggestion was made from lorig unlera tained apprehensions ..existing in my mind, that the public moneys were tint safe, and when requited might not he.forthcoming to meet the.exigencies of the Comintmwcallii.' Having ascertained that upwards of half a million-', of-dollars were deposited In that batik- oh:the l.st (if January, appliciVlde'lo tliii payment of the',interest, and that it could I not be applied to any otheJ - otiject, I request-, 'cd that officer about the sth of January, to commence the payment of the interest lhcn> ns by anticipating the lime, the public would b.e practically assured of our entire ability, as well as willingness to pay-our debts, and that Ihe paymeiit in advance would not only have a happy influence in tranquilizing the public mind on that subject.'but avoid the psk of permitting the money to remain long er in the bank. lie did proceed to the city of Philadelphia, in pursuance of the sugges tion, bat returned satisfied, as he believed, from the rcprcsuntatiqns of the ollicers of the bank, that till, was safe, and that the payment at that lime would occasion some inconven ience to the transfer clerk. With an anxious desire for the'hccompliah inent of this object, 1 repaired to Philadel phia on the 26th of January after full consul tation with the State Treasurer, and was there unremittingly engaged in the object of my-mission unlil-the-2d instv,-and,received continued assurances from several of the di rectors up to Friday evening, the 28th, of the bank’s-ability to pay over on the first of February. On Saturday, the 29th, howev er, in consequence of some of the other banks refusing to receive the notes of the Bunk of Pennsylvania, a run Was made on that insti tution which was met until the usual closing hour.of the .day. y But being satisfied that this rqji would be continued' hit’ Monday, and convinced that the funds of the Commonwealth had been paid out to meet other demands upon . die bank, I addressed a letter to the President and directors eaily on the morning of that day,'notifying ifiem that the Attorney Gen eral had been instructed to obtain an injunc tion from the. Supreme Court, under their equity powers, to restrain the bank from pay ing out, transferring, assigning, or otherwise disposing of'the funds and assets to the pre judice ul the Commonwealth, until the final, action of (he court could, be had, or other satisfactory arrangements made. Inconse quence of this notification, the bank was not opened at 9 o’clock, and shortly after 10 o’- clock, the injunction was accordingly obtain ed and served by the Sheriff,‘enjoining - the officers from .disposing of the funds, accord ing to the command of"the writ. , ••Isftc on the evening of the Ist February a successful arrangement. was .made, by ,W iti cb Jf Jia.vpypivsiwy:.V> liiid%s^tb'l^.]j&jfnmK < t (of the interest (Lpe lias.r.ow been" commen ced, and will, as soon aS the jTunils can be arranged for the purpose.— I This arrangement consists in l|i« application of the available funds of the Bank of Pemi- LsyJv;UUfl,,J.o„wit.: - r Foreign bills of exchange of —-thtrTarlutrcif [ Specie, Wills lervivnblf, and soon Available,' 1-50,000 00 mid tile proceed* of a requisition made up on the oilier biinks,.which will be sufficient to pay the balance of the interest due,.the whole of which-will-be assuredly, metm.thc course of a fortnight or three weeks. The Slate Treasurer, by himself and as sistanla, will make die pay men 1 3 of interest at. the bank or at the Treasury. It is well known, from my repented com munications on the subject to the Legisla ture, that I have long entertained the most serious apprehensions of the security of the Mate's investment in the Wank of Pennsyl vania; and to provide against the probabili ty of its delinquency, 1 took the precaution, on the 25th day of November last, under the authority of the resolution authorizing a loan, passed sih May, 1841, to call upon the banks Which, by the terms of their charters, were bound to loan a sum not ex ceeding five per cent, of their capital to the (Joinimmwealth/to hold themselves in rea diness to advance'the balance which might he legally required of them on-the first of Frehi uary instant. • The amount deposited to the credit of the commonwealth in the Bank of Penn sylvania and its branches, was about 8850,- 000. The amount of available funds re ceived from that institution as stated'is 8500,000. The balance is in progress of being secured by the transfer of notes and securities to a considerably larger amount than that sum, falling due at short dales.— They may not all be reduced to cash in less than nine months or a year from this time. Any surplus received from this source will, of I course, he returned to the'Bank. But I have no doubt tbe state is secured from any ultimate loss of her deposit. . lief greatest sulfering/Jbas been from the injury to h'er cicdiriM pnsTponing, even fur a day, the pnyipent of the interest due her credi tors.
