SIiCONL) SKSSION.
Feb. U. 1842.
In.thc Senate this morning, a memorial
was presented, praying that the pay ol mem
bers ot Congress may be reducer! to live dol
■Jars perylay, iheir mileage (o ten dollars for
every hundred.miles, aiid that the"long ses
sion should be closed by the first of May.
,M. Clay introduced the'following resolu
tiops, which he said had been the subject ol
consults lion with some of his friciuls, and
some of them -had oiet with their general
concurrence, which he hoped would be yet
extended to all. Tins resolutions were then
read'as follows: ,
1. Resolved, That it is the duty of the
General Government, in' conducting its ad
ministration, to provide for an adequate re
venue within the year to meet the current
expenses qf the that any expedient
either by. loan or by Treasury notes, to sup
ply,' in time of. peace, a deficiency of reve
nue, especially..'.during successive years, is
unwise, and must lead to pernicious conse
q.uences. ,
2. Resolved, That such an adequate rev
enue cannot be obtained by duties on foreign
imports, without adopting a higher rate, than
twenty per cent, as provided Tut in the Com
promise Act, Which at the time of its pas
sage, was supposed and assumed as a rate
that would supply a sufficient revenue fur an
economical administration of the-Govern
ment- ’ - ’ ' ’
3. Resolved, therefore. That the rate ol
duties on foreign importer ought to be aug
mented beyond'tlio rate of.twenty per cent,
so as to produce a nett revenue of twenty
six millions of dollars—twenty-two for the
ordinary, expenses of Government, two for
this payyient of the existing debt, and twlT
luiHiona.as.a rtserved fund for contjflgwK
tiios. - '
4. Resolved,'. That in the adjustment of a
tariff to raise an amount of twenty-six-mil
lions of revenue, the principles of the .Com
promise Act generally shuuld-be adhered to;
and that, especially, a maximum rate of ad
valorem duties should' be established, from
which there.ought to be as little' departure
v as possible, ’ v -• , • J
. • 5. Resolved, That ilie prjovisUvn,VAfs,v«--ati;
* of.-4he extra',session, fim the distribution jif
v, 4 he; pfSc%e«U' >
■ the operation.of that'acfto be suspended, in
the cohtiugencyof a higher rate of duty than
20 per c.ent. ought to be repealed.
6. Resolved - , That it is the duty of the
Guvernmcnt at all times, but more especial
ly in a.season such as now exists of general
_em.bautassment-and-pccuniar-y-distreS&,-to-a~
bolish. all useless instilull'ins and offices, to
curtij,il.,,all„ I ppiieccssary,, expenses,' and to
practice rigid economy.
7. Resolved, That the contingent expend
- ses of the two Houses of Congress ought to
be greatly-reducedpand themiieifgcofmem
—bers of Congress ought to ba regulated and
more clearly definid.
8. Resolved, That the expanses of the
judicial department of Government have, of
late years, been greatly increased, and ought
to be diminished. ' '
9. Resolved, That'the diplomatic relations
of the United States with foreign powers have
been unnecessarily extended during the last
. twelve years, and ought to be reduced.
10. Resolved, That the franking privilege
ought to be further restricted, the abusive
uses of it restrained and punished, the post
age on letters reduced, the mode'of estimat-'
ing distances more clearly defined and pre
scribe I, and a small addition to postage made
on books, pamphlets, and packag s, Iran's
■ milted by the mail, to be graduated and in
creased according to their respective weights.
' 11. Resolved, That, the Secretaries of
Stale, of the Treasury, of the War, and of
the Navy Departments, and the Postmaster
General, he severally diretted as soon as
practicable, toVeport what offices can be a
, bolisbed, and what retrenchment of public
expenditure can be made without public de
triment in the respective branches of the
. public service under their charge.
Mr. Clay wished a day might be assigned
fur the consideration of thehesulutiuns, and
suggested this day week.
■ MivCalluiuncuusidered the resolutions of
the very greatest importance; calling for the
fullest examination, and the'most deliberate
action;.aml to afford Senators the opportu
nity fur a full discussion, he would when
.they were taken up, move .that'..the. Senate
-resulve-itselfunto a'.cummittec of the whole
•in the State of the Union. The resolutions,
■ be believed, iVent fur an entire change of
law, involved ajyiulatipn of the compromise
act, and an increase of the burdens of the
jieople. • '
Mr. Clay was not opposed to. a thorough
jexa mi nation anddiscu ssion pf t hcraiml u tip. n s,
and thought he would be able to show that
they involved no violation of the compromise
act.„ Hemuved that the resolutions be made
the order of the day for 'l‘hursday:week;;
" which was agreed to.
The resblution of My. King to adjourn

SPIVCJAE MESSAGE.
Ta the Senate anil Housed of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
- Gentlemen stated 'tu you i n'lny mea
sage of the fifth 'inst., that I had taken the
precaution, oh tlie '2slh day of, November
last, underMlie authority of the resolution
authorizing a loan passed the sth May 1841,
to call upon the banks,-which by the terras
of their charters were bound to loan a sum
not exceeding five per.oent..of their capital
tadhe "Commonwealth; to,hold themselves'
in readiness -to.advance the balance which
might he legally required ut them on the Ist
of February instant—a copy of which is
herewith transmitted. This notice was sent
to alt the banks in the State, which were
bound to loan to the State in pursuance of
said law. On the Ist instant, finding that
,”m all probability the bank of Pennsylvania
would be unable'to meet the payment of the
interest due at this period,’! made acqui
sition upon a number of banks in. the city
and county of Philadelphia,’in pursuance of
said previous notice; and subsequently after
my return to ibis place, on the 4th day of
February instant, on all the other banks in
the Stale that were required by law to make
said loan,-'copies of which requisitibns are
herewith-transmitted to-you.
. Among the.banks upon which this requi-
-jtion was made,-was the bank of Chambers
-burg. Tliis bunk has refused to loan the.
State the sum required by the terms and
of its charter. A copy of the
letter of the President of the bank contain-
ing the refusal is also herewith transmitted
to you.
One of the grounds upon whicli the
js predicated, as appears by the, letter is*,
that the bank has loaned the* State money to
the amount, of five per cent, other capital,
V wh,ftlvlgsjs^
siii r afc that any; such loan Was.
everala<le,Anyureuaae'eo< ;^t(\e‘6th■Sectioo,
of the act of the 35th" March, 1824, entitled
“An act to re-charter curtain banks.” One
of the provisjons of that section is, that
“whenever the legislature of the State may
require it, each bank-hereby chartered, shall
loan to the Commonwealth any sum not cx
ceeding five per ceht._oii,.its_capital-~stoek
actually paid in,”. &c. "(This'bank was in
cluded in said.act.) Nor am I aware, that
the legislature .authorized'd loan to be thus'
taken, yrlnch has been enforced against said
bank. . ■
Another position assumed:by the bank, is;
that under.the. resolution.of .the, 3d .April,
1840, it took twenty-four thousand dollars
of State stock, and under the law of the 4ih-
May last, issued sixty-six thousand dollars
of small notes.
It is probably sufficient to remark, that
the stuck tiken under the resolution of the
Sd April,lB4o, was,the voluntary actof the
bank. It was a loan made to the State upon
an offer, or proposition, presented by an act
of the legislature, which that institution was
at liberty tp accept or refuse, as, iq her o
pinion, would beat subserve her interests.
That loan was taken with a full knowledge
of the law, and conscious that by the very
terms under which every act was dune the
legislature had the power of compelling the
.loan now demanded, on any occasion when
it might deem expedient to assert the claim.
One of the conditions of the charter—a part
of the contract made with the. Common
wealth—and fully assented to by the bank,
was, that this loan should be made to the
State whenever the legislature should re
quire it.
In my opinion, there is no injustice in
this requisition thus sanctioned byjaw, and
being one of the terms on which this corpo
ration received and continues to exercise its
chartered rights. The important question
submitted for your consideration is, whether,
the law shall be enforced. -
In order■to-prese'nt the-subject in a clear
light before you, the State Treasurer, on the
9lh instant, drew his draft upon the,bank
for thirteen two hundred dollars,
which was presented at thc'counter of the
bank during business hours,/.payment of
which was refused by its officers, and the
same was regularly protested. Copies of
the draft and protest are annexed..
Under these circumstances, to resort to
legal proceedings in a court of justice'the
Commonwealth is met by-.the great delay
incident to judicial.investigations, which is'
.probably the implied legal"course of.: pro
ceeding contemplated by the act of 1824.
" ’But when we reflect' upon the- flagrant
outrage committed bv this bank—-when we
see it .violating the faith pledged to the; state
on-obtaining its chaffer—disregarding the
p.roinise made at the time to. aid the Com-;
monwealth' in the hour of necessity, it ap
pears. to.nie-worthy... the.grave_consideration_
of the legislature, whether, under the facts
now you will not declare the
charter of this bank-forfeited, and devise the
proper means for liquidsting.its affairs. It
was under, the act of 1824, above referred
.tpj.Jhat the charter jvks. granted. By the
■9th section of the act it is provided, ‘‘lf it
shall appear that the charters and privileges ,
by ; this act,granted to any of; the. banks
herein .mentioned aire injurious to the .citi
zens of this Commonwealth, the legislature,
reserve full power to alter, revoke, and. an
nul them, of any of them, at any ..time they
may think proper,” It is for, yon to deter
mine whether,this,is not the proper time.—
If a bank is unwilling to aid the* Common
wealth in the hour of difliculty. pr asaist in
sustaining the. credit .and honor of ithe State
—rjf »he refuses to comply with'the con
ditions of-her charterand bqfdlyiyiqlate^the
law.isnotsuchaninstitution'finjuriousto
•the citizens of IW Commonwealth?^
;■ 1 would therefore recommend, that an act
bapaßsedUeclaringthechafteroflhetJham
, bersbufg bank to.be forfeited—.for, when an
institution, has wilfully’ violated'the law—■
utterly disfegarded'the ,conditions oh which
the chartered privileges hoW asserted were
■enjoy ment of these, great: benefits, is gone. ’
v It would- undoubtedly furnish 4 salutary
example to all other• batiks-who might be
;»iwjflrjy iwHned;tif;violate |hf solemn nb-
I libation they-are under-lo the ,public* •• f
think the legislature owe it to tlipir own dig

j Every attempt.thus to trifle with the majesty
of the law should be met at the threshold

floods, along tire vatlies of the Susquehanna,

THE FRESHET.
The water in the North Branch, during
the recent freshet, is'said to have been high
cr than it has been since 1805. Below we
give extracts showing the extent of the de
structions occasioned-by it:
The Bloom Democrat states that a'stable,
a Blacksmith shop and several hogs, were
seen- passing, down the river, Fishing
creek Aqueduct will undoubtedly have to
be rebuilt, in consequence of the damage
it lias sustained.
The Danville Democrat says: The North
Branch Canal has suffered much, (he waters
rushed over the towing path with ■ great
vehemence on several places,, causing two
small breaches a short distance above towtf.
A large Break occurred in the towing
path near Catawissa. J ,
Down the river, the canal is said to-have
been, inj.u'red very much, which is so much
the more to be deplored as the state finan
ces are in a sad condition for expending
much;_mOney in having the necessary re
pairs madeforthwith.
A large portion of the town of, Sunbury
was completely' inundated, the water rush
ing into the windows of a number ,of
houses along Water Street. Several fami
lies were compelled' to leave tlieir dwell r
ings and take refuge.in a- church. The
turnpike bridge hear that place was swept
away, and another small bridge greatly
injured;’.-
