of Congress, two of said director to be elected at

i'lmi of a Fiscal Itanlc wfthe I'nltsd fttate.
Tho Chair then submitted the following codiiiiun
rtication from Ihe Secretary of the Treasury :
TltEASPRT DuriRTMKST, f
June 13, 1841. 5
To t'.io President of Ihe Senate of the United
States:
Sir In obedience to the directions of the Senate,
contained in their resolution of the tth inst. the
f-Vcn tary of ihe Treasury has prepared, and here
with submits, a plan of Bank and Fiscal A ger.t.
In the general plan and frame of said institution,
bo has endeavored to free it from the constitutional
"'jcctiima 'which have been urged against those
Vfictoforc created by Congress, and as far as prac
(ieuble, without impairing its usefulness to guard it
in its details against the abuses to which such iusii
t ition.st are liable. And he respectfully submits it
tullio Senate, wi:h the hopo that, in the prices or
consideration and enactment, it may become, what
lie did not presume to promise, but which he earnest
ly desire to see in the possession of the nation, a
It. ink and Fiscal Agent, free from constitutional
il jccli.ns, and adapted to the wants of the coun
try, and convenience of the Government.
It is proposed to incorporate a Dank in the Dis
' ricl of Columbia, by Iho name of the Fiscal Hank
i'f the United States, having a capital of thirty mil
lion dollars, with power to establish branches of
nlliccs of discount and deposile in the several State,
with the assent of the States; that the Government
subscribe one fifth part of the capital ; and on the
supposition that it is the purpose of Congress
licreufuT to direct that the fourth instalment, appro
priated by the elcpobtlc act of June 23, 183G, shall be
paiJ into ihe several treasuries of the several States,
it is also proposed that a subticription to that a
mount bo made in the name of the United States,
lor the use of tho States respectively ; the slock lo
be assigned to, and become the properly of, such
Slates as shull accept the same, in the manner and
in the proportions, and subject to all the conditions
provided and imposed by that act.
And for the amount of the six millions to be
ubscriUcd by tho United States on their own ac
count, end also for the amount to be sulicriled for
the use of the several States, it is proposed that a
stock be created, bearing an interest of five per cent,
per annum, redeemable at tho pleasure of the Gov
ernment at any lime after fifteen years.
In case Congress should not see fit to muke
-'uch a provision as is proposed for paying to the
Slate ihe fourth instalment under the deposite act,
it may be well worth while to consider whether the
States might not lie permitted to take the stock of
ihe Dank according to their respective afnount of
population, to tho extent of ten millions in all, is
suing therefore stock of their own, bearing such
interest, and reimbursable at tech periods might
be prescribed ; the dividends on the share thus
held by the Stubs, respectively, to be applied, iu
i'..e first place, in the payment of ihe interest on
it. i ir stocks; with a further provision, if thought
i ece-wary, that, in case the proceeds of ihe public
) iids should be assigned to tho States, those pio
i i i ils should be applied la tho reimbursement of
i!y rincipul of their debts, or stocks, created oi is-1-n
J for the purpose aforesaid.
in ihe opinion of the Secretary, it is desirable
that the State should be permitted to tuke an in
H i"t in one of the foregoing modes, or some other
in. .id, in the licw institution; but, if Congress
!...;.;d think otherwise, then it is recommended
the Government of the United Stales sub-ci-nt
ts for the ten million of stuck, leaving twen
ty ti be subscribed by individuals.
U is proposed that the affairs of the Dank bo
jii.iimgt-d by seven directors, two of them to be sp
I oiiilid by the J'rtsident, by arid with Ihe advice
J consent of the Senate, and live lo be elided by
rl.i stockholder,), at their annual meeting. A Prc
ie lit to be chosen by the directors out of their own
Ks!y.
That the brand. es lie managed l y not more ih-m
-'-ten, nor less jlian five directors, two of ihi in in lee
" pointed by Ihe SiaWs in which the brsnches may
i uated, if kueh State be a stockeolJir, and ihe
rtt to be appointed by the director of ihe JJsnk.
It is proposed that Ihe Dank be the Oeel agent
'f ihe Government. That the public moneys be
deposited in it; und when there, that they may be
deemed and taken to I in Ihe Treasury of ihe
United Slam, and tUt & Je-posite be not removed

payrnsnta madn by the Treasurer of tho United
Sldie may Tie by cheeks on a ii I Dank.
That thessid Dank receive tho funds of the Uni
ted S'ates; that it transmit them from on pirt of
the Union to another, and distribute them for the
payment of public .creditors, and -perform the duty
of pension ageni fieo of charge
The ordinary power and privilege of banking
institutions being conferred upon It, and the ordina
ry liabilities and duties imposed in order to prevent
over-hanking, excessive issues, fluctuation in the
price of stocks, and consequent speculations iher.'
in, and to secure the bill holder and other creditors
of the Dank from d inger of loss, it is proposed
To limit the dividend to six per cent, per anum,
but if they fall short in any year, the deficiency,
with interest iheron, to be aftrrwards made good
and when a surplus accumulates exceeding two
million's the excess lo be pissed lo ihe credit of
iho Treasurer nf ihe United Siioy.
That amount of debts which it rmy nt any
lime owe, shall not exceed twenty millions over and
above its depositee That the debts at any lime
due to the bank shall not exceed Ihe amount of its
capital and seventy-five per cent thereon, Bad the.l
when the amount of its bills in circulation shsll ex
ceed three times tho amount ol specie in its vaults,
no new loans shall be made.
That it shall nut deal in any thing except coin,
bullion, promissory notes and inland bills of ex

bill of which such officer, as maker, drawer, endor
ser, or acceptor, is forbidden to be discounted. The
directors of the branches not lo be considered offii ers
within the meaning of this provision.
To prevent or expose any fraud or indirection
in the minagement of iho institution; to prevent,
also, large nnd improper loans to individuals, lo
the injury of the stockholders and the public, and
to prcverl, liken ise, false imputations when such
irregularities c'o not exist, it U proposed that the
books of the institution, including Ihe accounts of
all individuals therein, be at all limes open lo tho
inspection of tho Secretary of the United Slates;
tj a committee of either liouso of Congress; to
each of the directors of the Dank, and lo a commit
tee of the t-tockholdcrs, with power to make public
whatsoever they think fit.
It is proposed to provi le that the branches shall
not issue notes or bills adapted to, and intended for,
circulation ; but may s II drafia, not less in amount
i tun fifty dollars, for Ihe purpose of transmission
and exchango
That the Dank shall not suspend specie-payment
that it shall not pay out any thing but coin ol bul
lion or its own notes. That its existence as a cor
poration continue for twenty years but that it be
allowed lo use its corporate name for two years
longer in settling up its a flairs.
That no other bank le established by Congress
during the existence of the churter.
And providing that it shall not be deemed an in
fringement of the priviUpss granted by the chatter,

Gen. Souther land, who figured in Ihe lale Cana

Droughain, in behalf of the 100 or more American
citizens who were transported lo Van Tiemsn's
Land two or three years since, for having been con
cerned in evolutionary attempts against the Gov
ernment of Canada. He states that (hey arc tre.it
od hs common felons, and that several of the origi
nal number havo died from the severity of the treat
ment they endured. Against this treatment, he
respectfully temotistrates, nnd assures his lordship
tint while they are loaded with chains ami incarce
rated in dungeons, Ihry will esteem themselves mar

further disturbance's in Canada is nt on end, he ap
peals to his lordship whether il can le for the honor,
or iu any manner accrue lo the benefit nf ihe Dri

Pa. It supports David R. Porter and the measures
of the democratic party.
dj" The plan of a National Dank, as reported by
Mr. Ewing, the Secretary of the Treasury, will be
found in another column. Whether Congress will
pass this, or a similar bill at the present session, is,
we think, doubtful. There seems, however, to be
a disposition to create a It'egultitor of some kind.
Mr. Walker, one nf the democratic Senators, is in
favor of such an institution though somewhat differ

resolutions offered by him.

MACHINE POETRY,
From onr own Mill.
On the fith day of June,
Mr. Wise,
Dless his eyes,
Went up in his Dallonn,
From ihe town of Danville,
W heie they always j Ian well
Any thing,
Thai may bring
Folks together.
In hot weather,
To encourage trade.
And drink lemonade.
Well, he starts ngain on Iho UMhof June,
To pay another visit to ihe moon,
Or to the sun,
For it's all one
Which, as she's a full sister,
And therefore he visits her.
Well, won't folks gaze and stare,
To sec him in the air,
Without a leg to stand on,
A rul not peg to hang 'in.
No great wonder
That folks are getting Wise,
When he rides aver thunder,
And makes it knock under.
While pa-sing through the skies.
Suppose be asks ihe moon
To grant us a small boon,
And tell us why
She's la-en so shy,
As now and then lo turn her bark,
And make our nights so dark and black ;
At the same time, inquire)
Also, whether,
In hot weather,
She does not perspire.
A I d if so, to say,
Whether all rain
And showers,
That wets Ihe graiii
And flowers,
Comes not in this way,
And inform us if she please,
Whether she's made,
As some havo said,
Of white, blue, or green cheese ;
And ask her who
The man in tho moo-
N really is,
And if he is her bus
Dam), or it only was
A kind of quiz
If politicians are
Quite as honest there,
A they aie here ;
And when for their country's gitod
They labor, its understood
They nre sincere.
The author of the follow ing lines rc.-prclfully re-
i quests us lo publish them, which we do solely on
account nf the ladies, who will surely appreciate
them, although wo were strongly inclined to throw
them in the hopper of our mill and grin J Ihem over.

Their beauty with Sunbury girls to compare.
The Daltimorc girls they louk very fair,

Dut remove fir away the powder and curls,
And they aie by far the worst looking giils.
O the darling sweet girls of this nice little place,

; And their beautiful eye and their voices sweet lone,
Are enough for lo charm ihe heart of a stone.

THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
The resolution of Mr. CLAY for limiting and de
signating the business of the session come upf
which Mr. DENTON opposed an attempt to
dictate to the Senate.
Mr. CLAY act forth hi right to offer what reso
lution he pleased. The general wish being to get
through this Extra Session, and to make il as short
as possible, the struggle of men of opposite opinion
should be limited, he thought, to the struggle of
mind with mind, and not to that power of endurance
or brute force, which pe nt itself in starving each
other out. When in the minority, ho declared he
had always objected to this kind of opposition, and
now tli it hi position had changed, it certainly had
no charm for him. A Dank Dill, he said, would be
brought forward next week, to which he thought
especial attention should be directed.
Mr. YOUNG of 111. having suggested that the
Senate was, and always would be in advance of the
House, Mr. CLAY replied that the Senate should
do it duty without 'eferenee to the House.
Mr. DENTON c mplained that the President
had sent in nane of Ihe Executive nominations,
which, by iho way, he had invited tho Senate to
seru'iiiize. Now he wanted time for that scrutiny,
such as he could not have if Mr. Clay's resolutions
passed.
Mr. Dl'CHANAN did not feel any necessity for
clruiRincr tho rules. He was glad to hear, though,
that Ibe Dank Dill was to be brought forwaid next
week, which be deemed the great business of the
session ; and, when it was brought forward, the
Senator from Kentucky would find him as ready as
any body to act upon it speedily.
Mr. CALHOUN thought Ihe resolution infringed
the rights of the minority. The Senate he conten
ded, should alwaya he far in advanco of Ihe other
House, and this attempt to cut short the expression
of opinion in the Semite, was neither right nor pro
per. He hoped Mr. Clay would withdraw the reso
! In'ions.
Mr. CLAY raid he needed no better evidence of
adesiie, or a ili-position lo protract the session, than
this debate on so plain a proposition. The coun
try, he repeated, called for, and submitted to an
extra session of Conuress, not to hear what mem
bers of Congress had to sav, but to have them
act and carry out their will, without was irtg time
too, and as quickly as possible.
Mr. CALHOUN said Ihe people would not
thank us for action, if we did not act wisely. He
would rather remain there a year than not to be
able to let ull have an expression of their opinion
upon the great measures on which it was proposed
lo act, Mr, Calhoun moe-ed lo lay the resolutior
upon the table, but upon the auggesliun of Mr. Al
leu, withdrew the motion.
Mr. ALLEN then spoke at considerable length
Tho democratic party, he said, was not responsi
blefor this Extra Session, but now that their Rep
rrsentativi-s were there, they could not be gagged
As.to a Dank, he did not believe that the peopl
called for one, and the President himself had admit
led indeed, that ihe people had decided against otic
Mr. Cly' resolutions he pronounced to be urbilrc
ry and tyrannical, and then he went en to speak c
the purposes of the Fei'eral party at leugh.
Mr. DEN TON called for the yeas and my.
Mr. CALHOUN moved to lay tho resolution n
Ihe table, ond a'-ked for the ayes and nays, when th
question being taken, it was decided in the ncga
live ayes 19, nays 27.
After some further convrr-ation, the resdutio
was so modified as to agree to take up Ihe uiifinish
ed business after the morning hour, when the Res.
lutious agreed to.
The rdi'or of the Reading Democratic Press
vow as his first choice for the Pre-idency. Thoim
H. licit on, second choice, Col. Richard M. Joh
on. He is favorable also, he says, to the nomiu
lion of a Pennsylvania candidate for the Vice Pi
sidenry.
We say let that man be Hon. IV. F. Packer,

town. Either of whom would do honor lo the st
