No prudent or practical Government will
in its measures run counter to, the long set
tled habits and usages of the People. Re
ligion, language, laws, the eatablished cur
rency and business of a whole country, can•
not be easily or suddenly uprooted. After
the denomination of our coin was changed
to dollars and cents, many years elapsed be
fore the old method of keeping accounts, in
pounds, shillings and pence, was abandoned.
And, to this day, there are probably some
men of the last century who adhere to it.—
If a fundamental change becomes necessary,
it should not be sudden, but conducted by
slow and cautious degrees. The people of
the United States have been always a paper
money People. It was paper money that
carried us through the Revolution, establish.
ed our liberties, and made us a free and in
dependent People. And, if the experience'
of the revolutionary war convinced our an
cestors, as we aro convinced, of the evils of
an irredeemable paper medium, it was put
aside only to give plaCe to that convertible
paper which has so powerfully contributed
to our rapid advancement, prosperity, and
greatness.
The proposed substitution of an exclu
eive metallic currency, to the mixed medi
um with which we have been so , long famil
iar, is forbidden by the principles of eternal
justice. Assuming the currency of the
country to consist of two.thirds of paper and
one of specie ; and assuming also that the
money of a country, whatever may be its
component parts, .regulates all values, and
expresses the true amount which the debtor
has to pay to his creditor, the effect of the
change upon that relation, and upon the
property of the country, would he most ruin
ous. All property would be reduced in val
ue to ono third of its present nominal amount;
and every debtor would, in effect, have to
pay three times as much as he had contract
ed for. The pressure of our foreign debt
would be three times as great as it is, whilst
the six hundred million, which is about the
sum now probably due to the banks from
the People, would be multiplied into eigh
teen hundred millions.
But there are some more specific objec
tions to this project of sub. Treasuries, which
deserve go be noticed. The first is its in.
security. The sub. Treasurer and his
bondsmen constitute the only guaranty for
'the safety of the immense sums of public
money which pass through his hands. Is
this to be eompared with that which is pos-
sessed through the agency of banks 1 Tice
collector, who is to be the sub-Treasurer,
pays the money to the bank, and the bank
to the disbursing officer. Here are three
checks; you propose to destroy two of them,
and that most important of all, the bank,
with its machinery of president, directors,
cashier. teller and clerks, all of whom are
so many sentinels. At the very moment
when the Secretary of the Treasury tells us
how well his sub-Treasury system works,
be has communicated to Congress a circu
lar, signed by himself, exhibiting his dist rust
in it; for he directs in that circular that the
public moneys, when they amount to a large
sum, shall be specially deposited with those
very banks which he would repudiate. In
the State of Kentucky, (other gentlemen
can speak of their respective States,) al
though it has. existed but about forty-five
years, three Treasurers, selected by the Le.
gislature for their established characters of
honor and probity, proved faithless. And
the history of the delinquency of one is the
history of all. It commenced in human
weakness, yielding to earnest solications for
temporary loans, with- the most positive as
surances of a punctual return. In no in•
stance was there originally any intention to
defraud the . Public. We should not expose
poor Weak hurnan nature to such tempta
tions. :How easy will it be, whits been
done, ,to 'indemnify the sureties out of the
public money, and squander the residue

9. The fearful increase of Exeeutive.pa
tronage. Hundreds and thousands of new
officers are to be created ; for this bill is a
mere commencement of the system, and - all
are to be placed under the direct control of
the President.
The Senator from South Carolina (Mr.
Calhoun) thinks that the Executive is now
weak, and that no danger is to be appre
hended from its patronage. I wish to God
I could see the sublict in the same light
that he does. I wish that I could feel free
from that alarm at Executive encroach
ments by which he and I were so recently
animated. When and how, let me ask, has
that power, lately so fearful and formidable,
suddenly become slo weak and.harnlioss
1—
Where is that corps of.one hundred thou
sand office-holders and dependents, whose
organized strength, directed , by the will of
a single man, was lately held up in such
vivid colors and powerful language by a re
port made by the Senator himself? When

live authority 1 And. •although hit, not
least, of that expunging power which de
graded the Senate, and placed a at the feet
of the Executive 1
Which of all these enormous powers and
pretensions has the present Chief Magistrate
disavowed ? So far from disclaiming any
one of them, has he not announced his in
tention to follo - w in the very footsteps of his
predecessor? And has he not done it?—
Was it against the person of Andrew Jack
son that the Senator from South Carolina
so ably co-operated with us? No, sir, no,
sir, no. It was against his usurpations, as
we believed them, against his arbitrary ad
ministration, above all, against that tremen•
does and frightful augmentation of the pow
er of the executive branch of the Govern.
meat, that we patriotically but vainly con
tended. Tne person of the Chief Magistrate
is changed, but there stands the Executive
power, perpetuated in all its vast magnitude,
undiminished, re-asserted, and overshadow
ing all the other departments of the Gov
ernment. Every trophy which the late
President won from them now decorates the
Executive mansion. Every power, which
he tore from a bleeding Constitution, is now
in the Executive armory, ready, as time and
occasion may prompt the existing incum
bent, whoever be may be,
to be thundered
against the liberties of the People.
Whatever may have been the motives or
the course of others, I owe it to myself and
to truth to say, that in deprecating the elec.
Lion of Gen. Andrew Jackson to the office
of Chief Magistrate, it was not from any
private considerations, bat becatnie I consid
ered it would bo a great calamity to,my
country; anti that, in whatever opposition I
made to measures of his Administration,
viljch more than realized my very worst
apprehensions, I was guided solely by a
sense of public duty. And Ido now declare
my solemn and unshaken conviction that,
until the Executive power, as enlarged, ex
tended, and consolidated by him, is reduced
within its true constitutional limits, there is
no permanent security for the liberties and
happiness of this People,
4. Lastly, pass this bill, and whatever
divorce its friends may profess to be its aim,
that perilous union of the purse and the
sword, so justly dreaded by our British and
Revolutionary ancestors, becomes absolute
and complete. And who can doubt it who
knows that over the Secretary of the Trea
sury at Washington, and every sub Trea
surer. the President claims the power to ex
ercise uncontrolled sway? To exact im
plicit obedience to his will?
The Message states that, in the 'process
both of collection and disbursement of the
public revenue, the officers who perform it,
act under the Executive command% and it
argues that, therefore,the custody also of the
Treasury might as well be confided to the
Executive care. The possession ofso much
power over the national treasure is just cause
of regret, and furnishes a strong reason for
diminishing it, if possible, but none for its
increase, none fin' giving the whole power
over the purls? to the Chief Magistrate.
Hitherto I have considered this schem e
of Sub-Treasuries as if it was only what its
friends represent it—a system solely for the
purpose of collecting, keeping and disburs
ing the public money, in specie exclusively,
without any bank agency whatever. But
it is manifest that it is destined to become,
if it be not deeigned to be,a vast and ramified
connexion of Government banks, of which
the principal will be at Washington, and
every sub-Treasurer will be a branch. The
Secretary is authorised to draw on the several
sub-Treasurers in payment for all the dis
bursements of Government. No law res
tricts him as to the amount or form of his
drafts or checks. He may throw them into
amounts suited to the purposes ofcirculation
and give them all the appearance and facili
ties of bank notes. Of all the branches of
this system, that at New York will be the
most important, since about one-half of the
duties is collected there. Drafts on New
York are at par, or command a premium
from every point of the Union. It is the
great mousy centre of the country. Issued
in convenient sums, they will circulate
throughout the whole Union as bank notes,
and as long as confidence is reposed in them,
will be preferred to the specie which their
holders have a right to demand. They will
supply a general currency, fill many of the
channels of circulation, be a substitute for
the notes of the Bank of the United States,
and supplant, to a great extent, the - use of
bank.notei. The necessities of the People
will constiain them to use them. In this
way, 1,10 . will remain a long timoin,..uircu
lationf and in a few years we shall see in im
unease portion of the whole specie• of the
country concentrated in the hands of the
branch bank—that is, the Sub-Treasury at
New York, and represented by an equal
amount of Government paper disbursed
throughout the country. The responsibility
of the sub-Treasurer will be consequently
greatly increased, and the Government will
remain bound to guaranty the redemption
of all the drafts, checks, or notes (whatever
may be their denomination) emitted upon
the faith of the money ' in his custody, and
of course, will be subject to the hazard of
the loss of the amount of specie in the hands
of the sub-Treasurer. If, in the commence.
ment of this system, the holders of this go
vernment paper shall be.required to present it for
payment in coin, within a specified time, It will
be found inconvenient or impracticable to enforce
the restrlction,and it will be ultimately abandoned.
Is the Senate prepared to consent to place not
only all the specie that may be collected for the
revenue of the country, at the will of the Presi
dent, or which is the same thing, In the custody
of persona acting in obedience to his will, but to
put him at the head of the most powerful and in.
fluential system of Government banks that ever
existed
It is said, in the Message, that Government Is
not bound to supply the country with the exchan
ges which are necessary to the transaction arts
business. Bat was that the language held during
the progress of the contest with the late Bpik of
the United States ? Was not the expectation hold
out to the People that they would be supplied
with a better currency, and with better regulated
exchanges 1 And did not both the late President
and the Secretary of the Treasury dwelt, with
particular satisfaction, in several messages and
reports, upon the improvement of the currency,
the greater amount it exchange, and the reduc
tion of the rates, under the operation of the State
bank system, than existed - under the 'lank of the
United States ? Instead of fi.l lting the promisee
then head out, the Gworvmlt► now wraps itself

furnish dathangew and that they may look to Eu
reps for the meaner in which, through the agen
cy of private bankers, the 'commerce and busi
ness of its countries are supplied with exchange.
We are advised to give up our American mode of
transacting business, through the instrumentality
of banking corporation., an which the interests of
the rich and the poor are happily blended, and to
establish bankers similar lc; the Hopes, the Ba.
rings, Our Hothechilds, the Hotinguers of Europe;

termine the fate of empires.
Havlag,l think,Mr. Preside u t,shown that the pro
ice of the Administration is neither desirable nor
practicable,nor within the constitutional power of the
General Government,nor just; sad that it is contrary
to the habits of the people of the United States, and
it is dangerous to their liberties ' I might here close
my remarks; NS I conceive it to be the duty of ovary
patriotic opposition not to confine itself merely to ur
ging objections against measures to promote the gen
oral prosperity. brought forward by those in power.
It has further and higher duties to perform. There
may be circumstances in which the Opposition is
hound formally to present such measures as, in its
budgment,are demanded by the exigency of the times;
ut if it has just reason to believe that they would be
unacceptable to those who ALONE can adopt them.
and give them effect, the Opposition will discharge
its duty by suggesting what it believes ought to be
done for the public good.
I know.sir,that I have friends whose partiality has
induced them to hope that I would be able to bring
forward some healing measure for the disorders which
unhappily prevail, that might prove acceptable. I
wish to God that I could realize this hope; but I can
not. The disease is of such an alarmingcharaetcr as
to require more skill than I possess; and I regret to
be compelled to fear that there is no effectual remedy
but that which is in the bands of the suffering patient
himself.
Still, under a deep acme of the obligation to which
I have referred, I declare that, after the.most delibe
rate and anxious consideration of which I am capable,
I can conceive of nu adequate remedy which does not
comprehend a National Bank uan essential part. It
appears to we that a National Bank with such modi
fications u experience has pointed out,and particular
ly such as would limit its profits, exclude foreign in
fluence in the government of it, and give publicity to
its transactions, is the only safe and certain remedy
that can be adopted. The great want of the country
is a optics/lA. and waireata currency, and a poirit of
onion, a sentinel, a regulator of the issues of the local
banks; and that would be supplied by such an lusti

WASHINGTON, October 21.
Sttn-TneAseny BILL.—The artful man
ner in which the defeat of the Administra
tion on the Sub-Treasury bill was announced
in the official paper, has led some of our co
temporaries, not well versed in the rules of
proceeding in Congress, into a misconcep
tion of the nature of the vote by which the
House of Representatives gave its quietus
to the Treasury scheme. • The Globe states
that the bill was "laid on the table until the
next session," and adds that "the postponing
proposition was carried by 120 to 107 ; "
but the Globe well knew that the motion
was not to lay the bill on the table "until
the next session," and that no such motion
would have been admissible, under the rules.
The motion was simply to lay the bill on
the table, which was equivalent to a rejec
tion—inasmuch as the bill died with the
'session, and cannot be resumed at the next,
except by being originated de novo.
0 Nor is the talk about "postponing" less
hive;dec because, had that been the me
lion, it would have been equally decisive and
fatal to the bill,"as every measure not origi
nating in the House, and postponed beyond
the sessiori, expires with the session.
The Globe will not pretend that it will be
competent for the House to take up the bill
at the next session, at the point at which
the late session left it, and resume its consid
eration as though it had been simply post
period or. deferred. It is a mistake, there
fore, for any one to infer, from the language
of the Globe, that the decision of the House
of Representatives was any thing more or
less than a rejection of the bill; and the de
cision would have been the same, and its
fate the same, had the question been put in
any other form, although the votes might
have somewhat varied in their relative num
bers.—Nat. int.
From the New York Express.
The Era of Humbug.
Col. Stone* Paxnphjet an dinicrud Xagnetienu
It does really seem, to us, that there is
not a free country upon the face of the earth
so epidemically subject to humbugs and
humbuggers as these United States—and
what is remarkable here of us is, that while
in other countries artful
.men, and men of
brains and learning, humbug, here intellect
and education are all that will consent, to be
humbugged, by a prophet to day, a Matthi•
as say, or a Mormon to-morrow, or by a
child, or an adroit young girl, a Miss Brack
et for example, or a Maria Monk, the day
after. The great government of this great
country having been humbugging the peo
ple most successfully for seven or eight
years, the fanaticism for humbug seems-tir
have infected the• multitude like a contagion,
—and society is rapidly dividing itself into
two great classess, the humbuggers and the
humbugged.
The most remarkable case of humbug
that has attracted our attention for a long
while (always excepting that of Benton, the
&Aar of thia - modern' - tofiilllitott) is that of
a Miss Brackett, of Previdence, whose
clairroopanee, animal magnetism and the
like, seem to have taken almost complete
possession of the otherwise very sensible
head of the Editor of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, who with the greatest
sang froid in the world, sits down and writes
a good sized pamphlet, describing an mrial
voyage, that he, and the aforesaid Miss
Brackett, when under the influence of ani
mal magnetism made in imagination from
ProvidencdPß. 1., to this city; when under
the influence of animal magnetism, the a
foresaid Miss Brackett went with Col. Stone
to his new house,the Park,the Astor House,
&c.,describing what she saw of the pictures
in frames and things in drawers, &c., with
many other droll antics which we never on
earth should have had the patience to read,
hut that all was written by a brother editor,
who, in other things, Is to all, intents and
purposes perfectly sane!
The sum of his particular story, which is
to herald the way flora recital of this explod.
ed science of animal magnetism,is that Miss
Brackett was animal magetered by Dr. Ca
pron,when,says Cul. Stone, "leading her to
a seat, 1 eat down by her side,and the Doc•
for transposed her hand into mine,and cloth
ed me with the power of enjoying her ex•
elusive company." Now if the Colonel had
been an unmarried man, or a young back°.
lor of 24; and had sat down by the aide of a
very pretty young girl, with his hand in
hers, clothed with the power of enjoying
her exclusive company, we could have un
derstood the romance that has bewitched
him, for we believe that this kind of (mimel
magnetism always produces a very singular
effect on men—but that a very respectable,
and rather over middle aged gentleman
could have been magnetized off two hundred
miles, in this way, is a little more than we
can understand by what we know of this
philosophy. After thus sitting down by
Miss Brackett's side, and a little palaver
about visiting New Ye& in a balloon, and
a conclusion to . go through the air, "She,
(Miss B.) says the Colonel, grasped my
right hand more firmly, took my lef4and,
and pressed upon both tremulously as if
buoying herself up. f raised my hands
some ten or twelve inches, very slowly, fa
voring the idea that she wee ascending far
off, off—then they went iikitnagination over
Bristol, and over the sea to the Battery in
New York, then into Castle Garden, then
by the Bowling Green, meeting crowds of
people in Broadway, (very remarkable lI)
then by the Astor House, then into the
middle of the Para,—then to the College
Green—then to Cob Stone's house,
Miss Bracket alt the time answering quite
satisfactorily all the leading questions, and
keeping silent about things which it was
very difficult even for a shrewd yankee girl
to guess at.
This process of humbugging goes on a
very long time,when Dr. Capron takes Miss
Brackett away from Cob Stone, and the
magnetism then being over, Miss Brackett
begins to tell Dr. Capron, in New York,
what she had seen in New York asleep.—
Loraine, fur that is the christiaa name of
that damsel, then really- tells very many re
markable things, which it would have been
quite impossible for her to know, if in all
probability, Col. Stone and Dr. Capron had
not talked then) all over, when Loraina was
asleep is animal magnetism, and, therefore
could not hear! After this Dr. Capron

when Loraine tells in Providence, what she
has seen in New York. The reader must
not forget all the while that Col. Stone says
the girl is blind, but we are informed by
those who have seen her, that she can'see
very well, though it is clear her eyesight
has been injured. She is a very clever yen

Now we have seen even in our Ebert life,
very many things more remarkable than all
this. We have seen a conjurer smash all to
pieces half a dozen bottles by firing shot at
them through a pistol, and then smash them
all together again by firing through the same
pistol, to our eve, all well and fairly done !
We have seen men swallow swords, make
cards dance in the air and by presto process
take any ,thing .am i presto it any where,
where any body fleased,and where any body
could find it, if 14 body would search We
have seen the Catholic Priest, in Italy, work
all sorts of miracles, now with a piece of our
Savior's cross, now with a nail in it, now
with a tooth or toe-nail of some saint, and
now with some of our Savior's blood; and
every one who hoe read his Bible, has read
the story of the Egyptian conjurors, whose
rods were turned into serpents that Aaron's

ROBBERY.—The dwelling of Mr. &must.
ZACIREIAS, of Dauphin county, (PO was
entered during his absence, at an early hour
on the morning of the 17th inst. for the pur
pose of attending the Harrisburg marker,
and robbed of about SOO dollars in cash. It
is stated in the Harrisburg Telegraph that
most or the money thus lost, had been some
time since taken out of the Harrisburg Bank,
where it had been deposited, Mr. Zacharias
having been alarmed for its safety by "the
cry against the banks." The result is not
without its moral, It is not those who have
any thing to keepOfely, or to loose, that are
likely to derive advantage from the cry of
"down with the banks." But there certainly
is one description of persons who might make
profit out of the system by which every man
should become his own banker. Let this
plan be universally adopted, and many other
strong boxes will be opened without other
authority than the strong arm, as well as
that of honest Mr. Zachariaspen. Pat.

HAGERSTOWN, October 19.
SUOCKING llituurizu.—On Friday last
Mr. JAMES Norr,a respectable farmer, who
resided within about two miles of Boonsboro'
in this county,was murdered by a man nam
ed William Souders. The facts of the cave,
as we have heard them detailed, are nearly
these: On the day on which the murder was
committed Souders was passing a field in
which Nott and his brother•in•law, Ford,
were at work. Nntt called to Souders and
requested him to stop as he wished to make
some explanation' in relation to a small ac
count that was standing between - them—he
accordingly went over the fence to Souders,
and Ford went on with his work for a few
moments, when, looking around, he observ
ed Souders and Nott engaged as if in angry
conflict: and on approaching them seen Sou
ders strike Nott several blows in the back,
as he supposed with his fist, but as he after
wards discovered,with a knife. - On the near
approach of Ford, Souders commenced run
ning and Ford pursued, but was unable to
overtake him. He then returned to Nott,
whom he found dead, having received thir
teen wounds with a dirk knife, five or six of
which were in the back, several about the
head. and face, and one which was supposed
to be the fatal wound, entered the side of the
neck near the coil ar bone,cutting the carofid
artery and penetrating the lungs. Nott has
left a wife and four children to deplore his
loss. •
Souders was taken on Sunday morning
...
last ) near Indian Spring, in the upper part
of this county, by Mr. HENRY FAEANER,to
whom much praise icdue for hikexertions .--,
and activity in the arrest. Souders is now
in the jail of Washington county, and will,
probably, be tried at,the November term of
our Court.—Torch Liski. , ;;,' .

1 3:1•The Compiler pretty broadly insinuates,
that the Judges and Inspectors in certain districts
of this county, at the late election, acted improper
ly, and suffered persons to vote without examining
•them in ttio usual way." Al home, such char
ges are treated with the contempt they deserve.—
To satisfy the public abroad, we state that the
charges are BASE AND FALSE—and that the
author is a MALIGNANT LIBELLER. The
Officers injured are as honest and upright men as
cau be found in any County or State in the Union.
The late Election.
a .. Our readers will perceive that the late elec
tion has resulted far more favorably to the cause
of Equal Rights than the most sanguine anticipa
ted before the contest commenced. Last year, we
had but#2B members in the House of Represents,
tiveS—this year we have FORTY-FOUR! Out
of nine Senators elected this year, we have carried
SEVEN ! Last year, the majority on joint ballot
against us was 43—this year it will be but SEV
EN ! ! Truly this is a great change ! Had there
been a little more activity 'among our friends in
other counties, we should have elected a majority
to the House of Representatives.
However, we aro perfectly satisfied at the result
as it is. It is an omen of the COMPLETE
OVERTHROW OF THE MASONIC SHIN

Brown, of the county of Philadelphia, to strike
from the end of the section the words eThose who
• conscientiously scruple ti bear arms, shall not be
compelled to de so, but 49111 pay an equivalent for
personal service." ' `,. .
The amendment was ag reed to—Yeas 79, Nays
J 2; Messrs. Mcßuimai and Stimaire voting in
the affirmative. .
An amendment Awes then offered by Mr. Read,
to strike out all from the section as reported by
the Committeeciriter the word iithe" in the first
• line, and insert in . lien thereof as followis—viz i
uCitirotia of this Commonwealth shall be enrolled,

The amendment of course exempts aliens and
coloured persona, provided this Convention de
prive them of the privileges of citizenship.
An amendment was then offered by Mr. Mere
dith, to add to the end of the• amendment of Mr.
Read, the words as follows--viz: "The militia
officers shall be appointed in such manger and. for
such time as shall be directed by Few."
On motion of Mr. Meredith, the Committee then
rose, and will sit again on Monday next, when the
subject under consideration will bo the amendment
of Mr. Meredith.
The topic is an exciting one, and has already
occupied considerable time ; and present appear
ances would indicate, that it will occupy the at
tention of the Committee some days more. It is
not probable that the Constitution will be amend•
ed in this respect.'
There were some fine speeches delivered on the
subject. Mr. Meredith, as ho always is, was very
eloquent, in a speech of about half en hour in
length. He is opposed to any material change.
It is impossible to predict with any certainty,
when the labors of the Convention will terminate;
some of the knowing ones seem to think it will
not adjourn before the middle of January; present
appearances would seem to indicate, that it would
be almost impossible that a final adjournment can
take place before then, as many of the most impor
tont subjects have not yet been acted upon in Com
mittee of tho Whole.
HARRISBURG, October 23, 1837.
The debate on the 14th section of the report of
the Committee on the sixth article of the Consti
tution, still continues. Mr. Meredith this morn
ing withdrew his amendment to the amendment of
Mr. Read, when Mr. Fuller offered as a substitute
to Mr. Read's amendment, the following, viz :
"Freemen of this Commonwealth shall bo en
rolled and organized, to bo armed and disciplined
for its defence, as may be directed by law." This
gave rise to a very spirited debate, which only ter
minated by the rising of the committee, without
the question being taken. The members who oc
cupied the attention of the Committee, wore
Messrs. Chauncey, Scott, Meredith and Biddle. of
the city; Forward, of Pittsburg; Porter, of North
ampton; Fuller, of Fayette; Martin and M'Cahen,
of the county of Philadelphia; Merrill, of Union;
Smith, of Centre ; and Farrell, of Crawford. It is
probable that Mr. Ingersoll will give his views on
the question now pending, as it was upon his mo
tion that the Committee rose.
Agreeably to a resolution adopted on the 19th
Instant, the Convention will, after to.day, meet at
nine o'clock, A. M., and continue in session until ,
one, then take a recess until three o'clock, and hold
an afternoon session. Whether this will expedite
business or not is a question about which there is
a diversity of opinion. Some of the old 'and ex
perienced members of the Legislature, who are
members of the Convention, are of the opinion
that afternoon &salons have a tendency to protract
rather than expedite the progress of business.—
There are however two things certain, that it
gives members who are fond of speaking more
time for speech-making, and inflicts a greater pun
ishment upon those who are compelled to listen
to them.
HARRISBURG, October 24, 1837
The debate_ upon Mr. Fuller's amendment to
the amendment of Mr. Read to section fourteenth
of the report of the Committee on the sixth arti
cle of the Constitution, was continued through the
whole of the forenoon session. The principal
speakers were Messrs. Ingersoll, Stevens, Sergeant,
Dunlap, Chandler, of Philadelphia, Merrill and
Brown, of Philadelphia. In the afternoon, the
question was taken on the amendment of Mr.
Fuller, Yeas 19, Nays 99. The amendment of
Mr. Read was likewise lost, Yeas 23, Nays 99.--
An amendment was then oflbred by Mr. Porter, of
Northampton, striking front the section as report
ed by the Committee, the words, "the Legislature
may hereafter by law direct," and inserting in lieu
thereof, the words "may be directed by law"—
which was agreed to. An amendment was then
offered by Mr. Bell to add to the end of the sec
tion as amended, the following, viz :—"Those who
conscientiously scruple to bear arms, shall not be,
compelled to do so, nor shall they be compelled to
pay an equivalent therefor, except in times of ex
igency Ilk war." Mr. Bell addressed the commit
tee at considerable length in favor of his amend
ment, and Mr. Woodward in opposition to it.—
Mr. Darlington then expressed his desire to give
his views on the subject, and on his motion the
Committee then rose. Mr. Darlington is of count,
entitled to , the floor. to-morrow. •

The Packet Ship Susquehanna,
From Philadelphia for I4verpool,captured
by Pirates, of the Capes of the Delaware!
An express arnved in Philadelphia, on Monday
afternoon, at 1 o'clock, from Henry. F. Rodney, at
Lewis on the Delaware, bringing the astounding
intelligence, that the packet ship Susquehanna,
which left Philadelphia on Friday last, and went
to sea at 2 O'clock on Saturday, was captured by
a piratical schooner, off Five Fathoms Rink. The
news was brought from the Capes, by James M.
West and Edward Maul, pilots, who, it appears,
were within sight of the vessel when she fell into
the hands of the pirates. Mr. Rodney forwarded
the intelligence to Norfolk, so as to enable an arm
ed vessel to cut of the pirate and her prize. There
is not, it is believed, a Revenue Cutter on the sta
tion, the Gallatin, Capt. Gold, has been laying at
Wilmington, fur several weeks, undergoing re
pairs.
This is one of the most audacious acts of piracy
ever perpetrated; and there is no doubt but that
every exertion will bo made to insure her capture.
What has been done with the vessel, crew, and
passengers, among the latter was a number of
highly respectable gentlemen of Philadelphia, was
not known. The circumstance has created the
greatest excitenultn.
al•The above we copy from the Glermantovrn
Telegraph of Tuesday. From the Philadelphia
Inquitei of Wednesday, we learn, that the excite
ment continued throughout the day previous, and
that various contradictory reports were in circula
tion. The Inquirer concludes, however, that it is
highly probable that a ship has been captured, and
that ship the Susquehanna; and that four armed
vessels were doubtless then in pursuit of the buc
caneer—making it scarcely possible for the villains
to escape.
