payment, if he receive the paper or, make use of it,
even though he never subseiibed for it. His duty in
such case is not to tuke the paper from the office or
place where it is left, but to notify the publisher that
be does not wish it. If papers are sent to a post of
fice, store, tavern, or other place, and are not taken
by the person to whom they aro sent, the postmaster,

.4:O•We give below the concluding portion of
the able and patriotic letter of Mr. Boars, a mom
her of Congress from the Richmond district, \'ir•
ginia, addressed to the public, in relation to the
Veto on the first Bank Bill by President Tyler.
When I came to Washington, at the
commencement of the present session, I
was the warm, intimate, personal and polit•
ical friend of Mr. Tyler; those will testify
to my friendship who are familiar with my
course in the Virginia Legislature, when
ho needed service, in the contest in which
he was then engaged with his present con
fidential organ in the 'Senate, whom he
then thought humiliated beyond recovery,
by the performance of an act, that he re
signed his seat in Vie Senate rather than
perform himself; and those who have heard
me speak of the President, up to the mo
ment that his final action on the Bank bill
rivetted the conviction an my mind that all
I bad seen and heard bad more meaning in
it than I had been disposed to ascribe to it,
will sustain the declaration of the sincerity
of my attachment to him, and the public
prints,-it \ scanned, would prove my disposi
tion to . ..iiiipport him. The separation was
u.painful tine to Me, but when all doubt was
removed from my mind, when the veil was
fairlydrawri aside, I indulged the expres
sten of indignation I felt, in conversation'as
well as in my letters; and if all the letters
written at that time and since, by our polit
ical friends, were copied and sent to the
President or his printer, he would probably
find that this indignation had not been con
fined to me.
In all that I have said in the letter pub
lished this morning; and in all that I say
I►ere, I desire it to be distinctly understood
that 1 spoke then, as I speak now, for my
jell, and myself alone. .1 an: not only will
ing, but 1 feel able to bear the whole re
sponsibility on my own shoulders; and I
say. emphatically, that the bank bill refer.
red to In the postscript of my letter, which
I thought would pass, and to-which no stock
would be subscribed, "but would serve to
fasten. him," was not the bill now before
the House; it was no other than the 1)1111
sent to Congress by the Secretary of the I
Treasury, and which was understood, if not
known, to be n Cabinet measure,• ono+ . to
which we had reason to believe he stood
deeply committed to every member of' his
Cabinet; one to which we •hail reason to
. /ettote be stood deeply committed to Congress
;tad the country.
In proof or this on the same evening that
Ike letter use written, at a meeting of the
Whigs, I submitted a proposition that the
Executive plan. a* submitted by Alf. Est , .
in, should be taken up acid idopteo pre-
'r.b.ompson.
dimly as it came to us, so that no pretext
should be ofrered for a veto, regarding it as
a matter of importance to obtain his signa
ture to a bill incorporating a bank; and if
the stock was not taken, as t believe it
would not be, that having him "headed" by
a signature w his own bill, we could after
wards build up such a bank on its founda
tion us would answer the purpose of the
nation.. Rut so far from this proposition
emanating from Mr. CLAY, as has been
charged, that gentleman was, as far as I
know. any thing of his opinions, opposed
to any farther efforts at conciliation; and
has since declared ill the Senate that it
could not meet his sanction; but he would
throw no obstacle in the way if his friends
'
desired it.
This was tho"heartlesslegislativefrayd"
that was proposed to be practised on the
President, to give him a chance to sign his
own "ricketty NIP' that would have thrown
him as much out of favor with the opposi
' tion, as his veto has thrown him in. A
wonderful mare's nest, truly. that they have
divcovered—But what a condition are we
in! What confidence is manifested in our
President when the hopes of one party, and
he apprehensions of the other, are that he
a to be swerved trout his duty to the nation
by the publication of private letters, pre
dicting that he was to 'be headed yet?'
This proposition was favorably received,
and would probably have been adopted as
he best thing left us but tur a communica•
ton subsequently made from several quav
ers, which created as much surprise with
us, as it will no doubt with the country.—'-
Mr. Ewing's bill had not only come to us
as a Cabinet measure, and understood to be
a surrender of much, from his distinguished
friends in the Cabinet, to conciliate the
President, but he bad in his conversation
with many members of Congress, endeav
ored to previiil on them to vote for the bill;
and on the preceding Fiiday (Aug. 13th)
when the Whig delegation from Ohio,
waited on the President, to inform him of
the wishes of their constituents, and of the
state of the public mind in Ohio, he stated to
them sincerely that he would have signed
Mr. Ewing's hill without the least difficulty.
What then may be imagined was our
surprise to learn from different sources that
Mr. Tyler had afterwards said, he would
not sign Mr. Ewing's bill if it did pass, as
at the time he said he would, he had never
read this bill; is it not to be wondered at,
that 'this annunciation created something
more than surprise with us; this I thought
rather exceeded Mr. Van Buren and Mr:
Poinsett's army bill, which the President
recommended in December,and never saw
until April following, for the army bill was
never a subject of discussion before Con
gress, much less for ten weeks, as the
bank bill had been. But we were inform
ed that he had read the secretary's bill and
found that it contained some provision
about discounting, against which he had
committed himself in his veto message, and
therefore he could not sign that.
This was a new, if not a gave, consti
Miami' objection raised by The President
on that discounting power, to the action of
Congress, after saying m his message of
June last:
"To you then, who have come more d
rectly from the body of our common con
stituents. I submit the entire question,"
(as to the State Banks, the Sub-Treasury,
and the United States Bank,)"as best
qualified to give a full exposition of their
wishes and opinions. I shall be ready to
concur with you in the adoption- of such
system us you may propose, reserving to
myselfthe ultimate power of rejecting any
measure which may in any manner conflict
with the constitution or otherwise jeopard
the.prosperity of the country; a power
which I could not part with if I would, but
which I will not believe any act of yours
will call into requisition."
It is the discounting power then, that is
to form either a constitutional objection, or
is to jeopard the prosperity of the country,
although the country itself demands it.
This communication gave a new direc
lion to our views, and the object has been
to perfect a bill exactly in accordance with
the views of the President, freed from all
the obk•ctious that- -he has made, either
constitutional or otherwise, as far as they
could be understood; such a bill has been
framed, and is now before the house; one
far from being perfect in itself perhaps, but
yet one that will' answer many good pur
poses, and one which, upon every principle
vet advanced by him, he is bound to sign.
But mark my prediction: he will not sign it,
but will take great pleasure, I have no
doubt, in lashing us across the face again,
with what has been framed to suit his pe •
culler views. "captain Tyler" don't mean
to give up the power that the union of the
sword and the purse will furnish him with,
until he has secured his ultimate object.—
Captain Tyler will take great pride in
showing that he is not "to be headed" even
by signing his own bill, if it is to lose him
the favors of the Icco feces.
What is the present condition of things
which hai contributed to the forfeiture of
my-confidence in bite as a whim President?
One-of the great distinctive features that
divided us from our political opponents in
the late contest was the necessity of sepa
rating the purse from the hand that wields
the sword. This was our strong objection,
and argument against the odious Sub-
Treasury; and yet within the first four
months after this whig President assumes
the robe of office, he by his own act, while
the•bank bill is still before him, by his sig
nature, repeals the Sub•Treasuzy bill; re
peals the state bank system, signs a bill
authorizing a loan of twelve millions of
dollars, by willed the treasury is to be filled,
is ready to sign the revenue bill, which
raises- nutlione micro and rejects the bill
providing for the safe keeping and disburse
ment of the public revenue—which is de•
stranded by a majority of the ICepiesenta•
tives of the people exceeding the entire
vote of Virginia.and South Carolina united,
the two States from which the principle
opposition conies. '
By. thiq course he revives the act of
1789. which passed in the infanc y of our
country, and has been inoperative (*torn
1791 to the present period, and was at . all
times wholly inefficient and impracticable
for the present condition or the country;
and which if practicable, still subjects the
public money to the discretion and control
of tho Executive department of the Govern-
tnent, by which all the professions of the
party on thi4 subject have lien condemned,
and the principles for which they contend,
and upon which they came into power, and
more particularly so, when the President
himself, under these circumstances, refuses
or fails to recommend any plan for the
custody of the public money, rind his con
fidential friend and organ in the senate
earnestly entreats Congress to adjourn with
out an effort to pass any other law on the
subject, because the dog days are about
to begin- I believe the dog days are at
hand; but perhaps that might not make it
the less incumbent on Congress to take
care of the public money—surely madness
and not reason reigns.
These are the circumstances under
which it is expected 1 am to hold my peace;
for fear of displeasing his Majesty; and 1
am to be rated for imprudence and indis
cretion, in writing • to. my own friends and
constituents about the posture of . public

was sincere in what I said, and I should
subject myself to the charge of insincerity,
deception and falsehood, if I were to sustain
Mr- Tyler in a similar effort. Did no
official organ of the President then join the
in denunciation of the principle, or did he
complain us ho now does
The official speaks of the gratitude I
ought to feel for the influence of Mr. Tyler
who contributed to give toe the seat I now
occupy in Congress. If that WERE TRUE,
let me toll the conductor of that paper, that
gratitude for smiles and favors from the
President could never drive me from my
principles or my duty. And if he would
study lessons of gratitude, he would pro
badly learn from what source he derived '
his press and types, that he now turns upon
those who redeemed them from mortgage
and sacrifice. He might learn what was
due to gratitude, when he looked to the
source of his present profits as a' Printer to
the Senate, elected by a Whig Senate un•
der the supposition that he was a supporter
of Whig principles.
I have heard of this influence before, as
coming from Mr. Tyler hitnsefl; and it
rumor tells the truth, he has spokemquite
as harshly of me, as I have of him; arid I
have had my attention called to a letter in
the New York Herald that has been bark-
ing at me for some weeks past, written by
the correspondent of Mr. James Gordon
Bennet's paper, who appears to be an inti
mate and confidential friend of the Presi
dent, spending a great poition of his time
at the palace, and predicting in advance,
all that is to come to pass, even to the
hour when the veto is to be sent in, whilst
his constitutional advisers, are ignorant of
his purpose, and his political friends left to
grope their way in the dark, without oven
an admonition to those who sacrifice them
selves for his benefit. In that letter lam
threatened with the vengeance of Mr. 'Ty
ler's friends, who are to correct "my vaga
ries!"
What influence Mr. Tyler exercised in
my election lamat a loss to knew, as I
never heard of his being in that district
from the time 1 became a candidate up to
the time of the election, except while he
_was discharging nis duty us a member of
the Legislature of Virginia, in Richmond,
when I had no need of his influence, and
where he had none to exercise if I had
needed it; on the contrary, he was glad to
have the benefit of what little I could bring
to his aid. I surely was got indebted to
him for his own vote, thuugh he has been
for mine more than once• Upon that
score I cannot agree to break even with the
gentleman; fur I think all the obligations
are on his side; if any exist.
Mr. Tyler has most worthy and respect.
able connections add friends in a portion of
the district I represent, whose confidence
and good will I highly esteem and value,
and should regret to lose; and if a seat in
Congress, or high official station, had been
uppermost la thy mind, I in;ght have be
trayed my party and my friends, and given
in my 'adhesion to Mr. Tyler's re-election,

It Mr. Tyler's friends choose to aban

ciples upon which they contributed to elect
me, it will be my misfortune, but it will
not be toy fault.
A word as to the mode by which my
letter has reached the public eye through
the official organ. As 1 have before said,
it was manifestly not intended for the press;
it may, in the hurry of the moment, have
been inaccurately directed, but it was di•
rected to a reading-room strictly, and' not
to a printing office, and if it had been de
signed for publication. the ‘Vhigyiffice was
quite as convenient us the reading•room.—

taining not one ball that I thought and felt,
and still think and feel as to the course that
our Whig President has thought proper to

Who copied my letter and ient it here,'
or authorized or directed its publication, I
do not know. kt present, it rester upon
the conductor of the Madisonian. But
received a letter from Riclimond two days
ago informing me that a copy had been
taken and was no doubt sent to the Presi
dent himself. This may he the impression
in Richmond, but it gives me pleasure,
while I denounce him as a politician and
public agent, to acquit him of the chargo or

whatever opinion I may entertain of his

and bewildered mind, operated upon by the
Workings of mad ambition.

AUGUST 22.
P. S. After writing the foregoing. of the
suggestion of some friends, 1 addressed the
following communication to the President,
which was this morning returned without
reply.
AuGusT 21, 1841, 3 o'clock, P. M.
"Sir:—By a communication received
from a friend in Richmond two days since,
1 was informed that a copy of the letter
published in the Madisonian of this morn
ing, to which my utima is attached, had
been made out and was to be sent to you.
'1 desire to learn, and, respectfully aek,
whether a copy of such letter was forward•
ed to you, and whether its publication was
by your authority, or with your knowledge?
"Allow me to express the hope that your
Convenience will permit you to give me an
answer in the course of the evening.
"Very respectfully,
"JOHN M. BOTTS.
ero the PRESIDENT of the United pates."
I havo no comment to make, but leave
each one to draw his own inference. lam
sorry ho could not disclaim it; if I was not
entitled to a respectful answer, his own
character required a disclaimer, if ho had
no connection with it.
II our friends inquire whether we are to
submit patiently to this state of things, pro•
vided.they should be as bad as I apprehend
ed, I answer for myself, nol There is one
probable remedy, and one only, left us: let
the people take into consideration for the
action of Congress next winter; we have a
majority in . both houses of Congress, and
will have a larger one in the Senate next
winter, and can carry any measure we do•
termine on.
This question is presented to us, shall
we sacrifice the party, consisting of nine
teen States out of twenty-six? shall we sa
crifice the interests of the country for the
next four years? or shall we sacrifice one
man, who has been fustened as a mill stone
upon the nation by an accident? I say,
sacrifice the man to the country; and the
mode is simple.
Let Congress, setting forth the causes in
a brief preamble, adopt resolutions to the
following t•tl'ect.
The first declaring their want of confi
dence in Mr. Tyler's ability to conduct
the government satisfactorily or sufeiy to
the country.
The second, declaring it as the opinion
of Congress, that under the peculiar cir
cumstances in which he was placed in pow
er, the path of duty lay plain before him,
either to sanction the great measures of
relief that the country culled for, and to
adhere in good faith to the principles upon ,
which he was elected, or resign the high
trusts that devolved upon him, that they
`might be tiansferred to those whose con
stitutional and conscientious scruples would
present no impediment or barrier to a na
tion's happiness and a nation's weal.
And if that don't answer, then resolve
that in consideration of the sacrifices of
power, comfort, convenience, nd hopes he
is expected to make, that the BUM 0f52.5,-
000 per annum should be op ropriated to
him for the next four years, •ommencing
from the 4th of April last. knd if he
cheeses to stay where ho is, after that,
then God help us, for• we coul not help
ourselves.
• But this is the course I am repared to
pursue, and upon deliberation, too; it may
do good—it can do no harm, if we are be
trayed. This may appear a harsh remedy,
but desperate cases require desperate rem
edies; and this case is a singular one, coin
ing into power by accident, and not by the
voice of the people as their President,
though we cannot , make him retire, yet we
may invite him to it. lam willing to go
in now, and trust to my betrayed constitu
ents to sustain me.

AWFUL RlOT!—Several Lines Lose!!—
Our city was thrown into great excitement '
last night. It originated from a quarrel
that took place on Thursday night, on
Columbia street between a few negroes and
whites, in which one of the latter was
stabbed and cut awfully ,so that it is thought
he cannot live. In consequece of this two
or three thousand persons collected around
the houses of the negroes on Sixth, East of
Broadway. The negroes apprehensive of
an affray, had armed themselves with ,mus
kets, and fired upon the crowd. The
mayor informs ho thinks two whites and
two negroes aro killed, and about 15.t0
20 wounded, tnostly whites.
During the affray, a cannon was brought
up loaded with slugs, and fired down Sixth
street two or three times, raking the
streets, but with what effect is not yet
known. The Mayor. who was on the
ground all night, called out two military
companions, the GRAYS and GUARDS, and
both squares from Fifth to Seventh, are
guarded by, and under control of the mill•
tary and a large body °farmed volunteers,
the negroes being all confined to their
houses.
No destruction of property of consequence
had taken place.
The city is still in great excitement; and
a special meeting of the Council is to bo
held at It) o'clock this morning, when
strong measures will
,undoubtly be taken to
preserve the peace of the city.
A Town M eeting of the citizens general
ly. is to be immediately held for lie same
purpose.,

PAINFUL SUICIDE AND SUDDEN DEATLI.
—The Village Record states "the wife of
John Suffer, in West Nantmeal township,
was found suspended by the neck in on ad.
joining cornfield, on Sunday last. She was
quite dead, and her knees nearly rested
upon the ground. The loop was made of a
skein of thread, and fastened to the limb of
a small walnut tree. She was missing
from Saturday morning, and although dili
gent search was made, could not be dis.
covered until Sunday. She had been par.
tially deranged for some time. On the
news of this fatal act reaching the aged
mother of the deceased, she fell and expi-
red! On Saturday, in the same township,
another female, the wife of Joseph Neely,
committed suicide by cutting her throat
from ear to ear with a razor. She was in
her own house, surrounded by her children,
and no doubt this maloncholly act was the
effect of temporary insanity."
MODITES INDICTED.--.-OUIr readers will
recollect an account we gave several
weeks ago, of the breaking open of the jail
in one of the comities in Kentucky, by a
mob, who took therefrom two prisoners of
the name of Mayth and Couch,and execu
ted them by hanging them to the boughs of
a tree. The offence which the prisoners
had committed was that of maiming and
brutally beating an individual, a resident of
a neighboring county. We are highly
gretihed to perceive that the'grand jujy in
the county where the outrage was commit.
ted by the mob, have found nine bills of in
dictment for murder in the first degree,
agitinst the individuals concerned in it.—
Thu judge under whose direction this pro•
ceeding is had, deserves great commends•
lion for his conduct, which will have the
effect of avenging this outrageous violation
of the law, and setting an example that will
be attended with salutary effects.— Pat.

DISPUTED TERRITORY. — •The Bangor

and Fish River, in the disputed Territory,
started from Militia' on Tuesday last.—
The first detachment started with a heavy
team or oxen and all the necessary imple

good military road, supported at the ex
pense of the General Government, from
Houlton to Fish River, may soon be expect •
ed and a regular mail route with a post
office at Fish river and the Aroostook will
be established immediately. The General
Government is now fairly upon the territo

final settlement of the question, which un
der the present efficient administration,
cannot be long delayed."

main objection to that bill was based upon
the highest moral and religious obligations
orconseienee and the Constitution.
1 readily admit that whilst the qualified
veto with which the Chief Magistrate is
invested, should be regarded, and was in
tended by the wise men who made it a part
of the Constitution, as a great conservative
principle of our system, without the excr-
ciso of which on important occasions, a
mere representative majority might urge
the Government in its legislation beyond
the limits fixed by its framers, or might
exert its just powers too hastily or oppres
sively; yet, it is a power which ought to be
most cautiously exerted, and perhaps never,
except in a case imminently involving the
public interest, or one in which the oath of
the President, acting under his convictions,
both mental and moral, imperiously requires
its exercise. In such a case he has no al
ternative.
He must either exert the negative power
intrusted to him by the Constitution chiefly
for its preservation, and defence, or commit
an act of gross moral turpitude. Mere re
gard to the will of a majority must not, in
an constitutional republic like ours, control
this sacred end solemn duty of a sworn offi
cer. The Constitution itself, I regard and
cherish, us the embodied and written will of
the whole People of the United States. It
is their fixed and fundamental law; which
they unanimously prescribe to the public
functionaries—their mere trustees and ser
vants. This, their will, and the law which
they have given us as the rule of our action,
has no guard, no guarantee of preservation,
protection, and defence, but the oaths which
it prescribes to the public officers, the sanc
tity with which they shall religious!) ob
sill-ye the oaths, and the patriotism with
which the people shall shield it by their
own sovereign will, which has made the
Constitution supreme.
It must be exerted against the will of a
mere representative majority, or not at all.
It is alone in pursuance of that will that any
measure can aver reach the President; and
to say that because a majority in Congress
have passed a bill, the President should
therefore sanction it, is to abrogate the pow
er altogether, and -to render its insertion in
the Constitution a work of absolute surperee
rogation. The duty is to guard the funda
mental will of the people themselves from
(in this case I admit unintentional) change
Or infraction by a majority in Congress.—
And in that light alone, do I regard the
constitutional duty which I now most re
luctantly discharge.
Is this bill, now-presented for my appro
val or disapproval, such a bill as I havo
already declared could not receive my sanc
tion? Is it such a bill as calls for the exercise
of the negative power under the Constitu
floe? Does it violate the Constitution, by
creating a national bunk, to operate per se
over the Union? Its title,in the first place,
describes its general character. It is "An
act to provide for the better collection, safe
keeping and disbursement of the public re
venue. by ineani of a corporation, to he
styled the Fiscal Corporation of the United
States. In style, then, it is plainly wowe
din its character. Its powers, functions,
and duties, are those which pertain to the
collecting, keeping, and disbursing tho
public revenue. The means by which
these are to be exerted is a corporation, to
be styled the F iscal Corporation of the
United States. It is a corporation cleated
by the Congress of the United States, in the
character of a National Legisloture fur the
whole Union,to perform thefisea/ purposes,
meet the fiscal wants and exigencies, sup
ply the fiscal uses, and exert the fiscal
agencies of the Treasury of the United
States. Such is its own description of it
self. Do its provisions contradict its title?
They do not. It is true, that by the first
section, it provides that it shall be estab
lished in the District of Columbia, but the
amount of its capital—the manlier in which
its stock is to be subscribed for and held—
the persons, bodies, corporate and politic,
by whom its stock may bo held— the ap
pointment of its directors, and their powers
and duties—its fundamental articles, espe
cially to establish agencies in any part of
the union the corporate powers and busi ,
ness of such agencies—the prohibition .01
congress to establish any other corporation
with similar po - wers for twenty years, with
express reservation in the same clause, to
modify or create any bank for the district
of Columbia, so that the aggregate capital
shall not exceed five millions, without cow!
'nitrating other features which are equally
distiqctive spd characteristic, clearly
show that frlannot be regarded as other
than a Bank of the United States, with pow,
era seemingly more limited than have here
tofore been granted to such an institution.—
It operntes per se over the Union, by virtue
of the unaided, and, m my view, assumed
authority of Congress us a National Logi* ,
latoreos cristinguisbahle - from a bank croft:
tcd fly courfess fur the District of Coluna
.
lea. as the local Legislature of tbeDistrict
Every United State* Biel(
,heretofore
c reated has ha i pnwei to oval in bills of
exchange, as wall as in Iscal Siseieuits.-s
-13oth were trading privileges coef"erredsind
bee, exerci-ed, by virtue Of the aforesaid
power of Ciingress, e'er the whole Union.
Toe (pssion of power remains unchanged,
without reference to the extent of privilege
granted. If this proposed Corporation is
to ba regarded us a local bunk of the Dis
trict of Columbia. invested by Congress
with general powers to operate over the
Union, it is obnoxious to still stronger oh
jections It assumes that Congress may
auvest a local institution with general, or
national powers.
With the same propriety that it may do
this in regard to a bank of the District of
Columbia, it may as to a• State bank, Yet
who .can indulge the idea that this Govern
ment can rightfully, by making a State
bank its fiscal agent, invest it with the ab
solute and unqualified powers conferred by
this bill? . ‘V hen I como to look at the do
tails of the bill', they do not recommend it
strongly to my adoption. A brief notice
of some of its provisions will suffice.
First. It may justify substantially u
, system of discounts of the most objectiona
ble character. It is to deal in bills of ex
change drawn in one State and payable in •
another, without any restraint: Tho bill
of exchange may have an unlimited time
to run, and its renewability is no where
xuarded against. It may, in fact, assume ' I
the most objectionable form of acommoda•
lion paper. It is not required .to rest on
any actual, real, or substantial - exchange
basis; a drawer in ono place becomes the
acceptor in another, and an on in turn the
acceptor may become the drawer, upon a
mutual understanding. It mayiat the same
time, indulge in mere local discount under
the name of bills of exchange. A bill
drawn at Philadelphia on Camden, New
Jersey; at Now York on a border town in
New Jersey; at Cincinnati on Newport,
Kentucky, not to multiply other examples,
might, for any thing in this bill to restrain
jt, become a mere matter of local accommo
dation. Cities thus relatively_ situated
would possess advantages over cities other
wise situated, of so decided a character as
most justly to excite dissatisfaction.
2d. 'nine is no limit prescribed to the
premiunri, in the purchase of bills of ex
change; thereby correcting none of the evils
under which the community now labors,
and operating most injuriously upon the
agricultural States, in which the inequality
of the rates of exchange are most severely
felt. Nor are these the only consequences.
A resumption of specie payments by the
banks of these States, would be liable to
indefinite postponement; for as the opera.
tion of the agencies of the interior would
chiefly consist in selling trills of exchange,
and the purchases could only be made in
specie, or the notes of banks paying specie.
the State banks would either have to con
tinue with their doors closed, or exist at
the mercy of this national monopoly of
brokerage. Nor can it be passed over
without remark, that while the District of,
Columbia is made the seat of the principal
bank, its citizen* are excluded from all
participation in any benefit it might afford,
by a positive prohibition of the bank from
all discounting within the District.
These are some of the objections which
prominently exist against details of the bill;
others might be urged of much force but it
would be unprofitable to dwell upon them:
suffice it to add, that this charter is de
signed to continue for twenty years, with
out a competitor; that the defects to which
1 have alludeil being founded in the funda
mental law of the Corporation, are irrevo
cable; and that if the objections be well
founded, it would be over hazardous to pass
the bill into a luw..
In conclusion, I take leave most respect
•fully to say, that I- have felt the most
anxious solicitude to meet the wishes of
Congress in the adoption of a Fiscal Agent,
which avoiding all constitutional objections
should harmonize conflicting opinions--
Actuated by this feeling, I have been ready
to yield much, in a spirit of conciliation,
to the opinions of ethers; and it is with
great pain that 1 now feel compelled to
differ from Congress a second time in the
same session. At • the commencement of
this session, inclined from choice to defer
to the legislative will, I submitted to Con
gress the propriety of adopting a Fiscal
Agent which, without violating the Consti
tution, would separate the public moneys
from the Executive control, perform the
operations.of the Treasury, without being
burdensome to the people, or inconvenient,
or expensive. to the Government. it is
deeply to be regretted that this Department
of the Government cannot, upon constitu-
Ilonal and other .grounds, concur with the
Legislative Department in this last measure
proposed to attain these desirable objects.
Owingsto the brief space petween the peel
od of the death of my lamented predeces
sor, and my own installation into office, I
was in fact, not left time to prepare and
submit a definite recommendation of my
-own regular message; and piece, my mind
has been must w holly occupied in u must
anxious attempt to conform my action to
the Legislative will. In this communica
tion,l am confined by the Constitution to my
objedions, simply to this bill, but the period
of the regular Session will soon arrive,
when it will be my duty under another
clause of the Constitution "to give to Con
:
gress information of the State of the Union,
.and recommend to their consideration such
measures us shall judge necessary and
• Expedient.' " And I most respect fully
submit in a spirit of harmony, whether the
• prese.tt difFerences of opinion should be
pressed further at this - time, and whether
the peculiarity of my situation dues net
es tate i r i e to a postponement of this subject
to a more aespiciiies period for deliberation.
The two Douses of Congress helve due
tinguished themselves at this extraordinary
session, by the pe-rformance ofan immense
mess of labor ut a season very u l e a s s i s si e
iset, to lieu'.', and action, send have parsed
i s se:„ l o ss, whiel, trust will provishighiy
beneficial to the interests of the country,
and fully answer its just expectations. It
has been my good fortune and pleasure to
concur with them in all measures, except
this, and why should our difference on this
alone bo pushed to extremes? It id my
anxious desire that they should not be. I,
t oa v have been burdened with ext raordinary
labors of late, and sincerely desire time for
deep and deliberate reflection on this; the
gamiest difficulty of my administration.—
May we nut now pause, until a more fe
vorable time, when, with the most anxious
hope that the Executive and Congress may
cordially untie, some measure of finance
may be deliberately adopted, promotive of
the good of our common country.
I will take this occasion to declare, that
the conclusions to which I have brought
myself are those of a settled conviction,
founded on my opinion, on a just view of
the Constitution, that, in arriving at it, I
have been actuated by no other motive or
desire than to uphold the institutions of the
country as they have come down to us
from the hands of our godlike ancestors;
andl shall esteem my efforts to sustain
them, even though I perish, more honora
ble than to win the applause of men, by a
sacrifice of my duty and conscience+.

Meetings, it will bo soon have been called, as
was desired by the County Convention, for sev

" . ..et our friends hold themselves In readiness to
attend. They have been •published thus early,
that all might make it convenient to attend.
• The proceedings of the Conferees as pqblished
to-day, show that our worthy follow•citizen Col.
M. C. CLAnusoN, with Taos. G. M'CoLzon,
Esq. of Franklin, have been unanimously nomi•
noted to the people of this district as candidates
for the Senate. Our Ticket is now complete, and
we repeat our belief, that a Ticket composed of
firmer, stronger, and latter men could nut be se
lected. Cul. Clarkson needs no recommendation.
His long residence in our midst is the best intro

With such a candidate, firmly devoted to the in

the Porter Administration, Adams County will
nut fail to yield him that hearty support which will
sconce hint a triumphant election to the Senate of

Lady's Book.
We have received the September number of the
Lady's Book. This number is "got up" in mag
nificent style, and at immense expense. The em.
belliehrnenta of which alone cost the 'publisher
over $l6OO, and consist of s beautiful engraving
of "Shakespear before Sir Thomas Lucy. fur Kill

Work and embossed Roses, surrounding Moss

of Music.
Another Veto.
On Thursday.last, President Tyler sent in to
Congress his second Veto Message in relation to
a National Bank. This Message is somewhat
more conciliatory in tone than his.first ono. We
give it to our readers and leave tliem to pass their
own judgment upon it.
.redling Governor.
Governor Porter has been pilling himself a
bout from town to hamlet, as General David ft.
-Porter, attending encampment's. York and Berks
Counties have already been the theatres of exhi
bition—at ono of which, says a Lucofoco corres
pondent by his press,—"the courage and brave
conduct of Gov. Porter won the Aomxnerios
of all." Good! for these peaceable times. Cum
berland is to -give another encampment for his
benefit. Well, we have no objection to a State
trip being taken. Ho was soon satisfied at York
—ten dollars a bead was too much for voters at
Berks—and in.Cumburland, if his organ there be
correct, according to their own showing all the
true soldiers are for JOUR BAIMS and a new
Governor—our Adams County Colonel at their
head. So we go.
1:13T hare a change!" comes to us- from
every quarter. Aye! it is all that can raise the
credit of the State. Another term for Porter, and
in all time to come, it. will hardly be possible to
be rid of the mammoth debt--now FORTY
TWO MILLIONS of dollars. Another teice fur
Porter and the State will be compelled to have
the benefit of the General Bankrupt Law extended
to her.—to deliier over her property—and come
out to start anew with experience to teach to se•
lect honest, economical, capable men to guide
her affairs. We will have a change of Rulers.

General. ft wail also said confidently that Mr.
BELL and Mr. BADGEII would rvsign to-day,' but
nothing was said of Mr. WensTra and Mr.

The personal rencontres in Oe House on Fri
day between Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Botts, and on
Thursday between Mr. Stanly and Mr. Wise,
have been amicably settled, and the facts have
been so reported to the House of Representatives.
Between Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Botts it was only a
quarrel of words. Albof the Bills before Congress
--the Revenue Bill and all—are ,how passed..
Wm. M. Porter has been appointed Poat
Master at. Carlisle, Pa.
A FisticuiFin the House!
A disgraceful scene occurred in the Houser-of
Representatives on Thursday last, between. Mr:
\Visa of Virginia, and Mr. ST.LXLI of N. Gerali
ne. The following account of the ..rencontro" is
given by the correspondent of the Patriot:
"Mr. Wise and Mr. Stanly had butt;
been engaged in the discussion of the diplo.
matic Bill, and the pending amenanient
which was to to strike out the appropria•
tion for a Charge to Naples, or otherwise
to concur with the Senate in the motiva
to strike out. Mr. Stanly had refered to
the Veto—to the come of Mr. Wise—to
the Charge at Naples being Mr. Throop of
New York—to the knowledge Mr. Wise
had of this. Charge from information he
obtained as one of the investigating corn..
milieu iu New York two or three years
since. These references, Mr. Wise spoke
of in bad temper, as havirig a little maleYo
lence, putting on sneering and insulting
emphasis on the word little. Mr. Stanly,
quick as a flash, retorted, And hurled back
the Words little malevolence by upplying,
thorn to Mr. Wise for having made the
remark. Both members sat down—Mr.
-Wise to bad temper, Mr. Stanly having
none, or displaying none. In a moment or•
two the member from Virginia crossed
over to the member from North Carolina,
and commenced a conversation not very
friendly in its design, and ending in hard
words and not harmless blows. For sonic
epithet or other used by Mr. Wise, Mr.
Stanly gave him the lie. An attempted
blow from Mr. Wise followed, which was
either warded off by Mr. Stah4,or he
missed his aim. lf a blow, us Mr. Wise
says it was, it was blow for blow—and Mr.
1 Wise was struck three times, and bad his
face scratched in the renc entre.
A brief apology to the House followed
from Mr. IVise, and an explanation from
Mr. &only.
Mr. Wise said ho was very cool, and
humbly asked the pardon of the House for
having offended against its rules. He had
heard language under which ho could not
remain silent, and becoming excited after
warning and remonstrating, he had struck
thegentlemarkfrom North Carolina. .
Mr. Stanly then gave his ve rsion of the
story which was, as Mr. Wise had stated,
that the gentleman from Virginia, had left
his seat and come to him, remonstrating
with him, and warning him in threatening
language, and even inviting birn to leave
the Hall and go into the lobby. Ile had
said to him, "go your own way." and retur.
Ding to him after leaving him, he had used
language, for the utterance of which he had
given him the lie. "He then trie , ,O, to strike
me," said Mr. Manly, "but, L warded off
his blow and if the-House had not interfer
ed, I would have given him as good a whip
ping as a man ever had." To the House,
Mr. Sturdy had no apology to offer."

limiting the eligibility oldie Executive to
a single term, and. as the subject is to be
brought before the people at the coming
election, we invoke for it the same support
and recognition which they gave it at the
ever memorable election oflB4o, when the
lamented Harrison was the embodiment of
this salutary and popular principle.
Resolved, That we approve of the Bill
passed by the last Legislaturo, providing
for the election of the Caual Commission

by the present Executive, after vetoing a
previous Bill expressly upon the ground
that it did not provide tor such election.

ONE MlN.—The Norristown Free
Press says,—"Are the, people aware that
an amendment to the Constitution of the
State is to be voted upon by them at the
coming election! The question is whether
the office of Governer shall be limited to a
single term of three years. It is an impor
tant amendment, and will do more to pro-
Mote the welfare of the State, and insure
the proper management of its affairs, than
any other measure which could be devised."

Pittsburg Morning Chronicle states that
the United States deputy marshal! has ar

WORTH TIOCINO.—At a time when so
great a destruction of life and property by
lightning is almost daily being recorded,
the following simple receipt is presented as
a sure preventative. "Always carry a re
ceipt for your paper, ONE YEAR IN
ADVANCE, in your breeches pocket."
This has never been known to fail, and
it is believed, there is not a single case un
record in which a person was ever struck
who adhered to this simple rule. it's
worth trying, aoy how! Old Guard.

THE PRESENT SEASON.It should be
remembered at this season of the vent,
that our bodies are more liable to become
diseased than at any other period; because
the sudden changes of the weather, by
acting as they do on the Constitution
and quality ofthe Blood, produce a foul
state of Blood, and other fluids which gene
rate corruption, and not 'infrequently death.
It is an established truth, that no pain or
sickness can be experienced except from
the preseuco of depraved humors, which,
if not posititively corrupt, soon becorns so
if not speedily removed from the body.
On the first feeling of pain or wealruess,
the body must have a vegetable cleansing
in order to prevent fittal results taking
place. For it is at all times easier to pre.
vent that to cure disease; because by taking
a preventive course we do not debilitate
the natural functions of the body, strength.
