This is unquestionably the most valuable,

Report.
Right at last. The SheritFs of the Or
ange Congressional district in Virginia
have had a second meeting, and after an
examination of the law and all the circum
stances attending the election in Green
county, came to the conclusion that, how
ever informally the Polls may have been
held, there was no sufficient ground to with
hold the return from Col. Banks, the Re
pufwic3n candidate, w hom they have decla
red duly elected, by a majority of 13 votes;
and consequently, he has taken his seat in
Congress.
jOur Washington correspondent gives
a vivid description of the reckless course
of the Opposition in Congress, on the pass
age of the Treasury Note bill. That the
Federal Whigs should strain every nerve
to embarrass or overthrow the Democra
tic administrators of the government is not
surprising; it is their vocation, and has
been since the days of the cider Adams
but we hoped and looked for better things
from those Whigs who still claim the name
of Republican. Happily for the country,
the day is at hand when masks will be rent!
off. Emboldened by the recent successes
of the Whigs, Mr. Clay has unhesitatingly
unfurled the Federal Whig banner and sta
ked his political fortunes on the re-establish
ment of a National Bank. Be it so:
the Democracy will rally round the Inde
pendent Treasury standard, with no fears
as to the result; they must and will be a
gain victorious.
Extract of a Letter to the Editor, dated
Washington, 20th May, 1S3S.
My dear Sir: We have had rather close
voting upon the Treasury Note bill. These
modern Whigs, "most of them manufactu
red out of old Federal blue-light material,"
with the Nick Biddle British Bank men,
and what small scattering of Abolitionists
we have, 'all of whom now work nlori
ously in the harness, together," combined
to stop the wheels of government, by re
fusing to vote for the Treasury Note bill,
under the pretence that they preferred a
loan. They were willing to borrow mo
ney, create a National Debt, saddle and fix
that upon the nation, when we had mil
lions of money due us to pay rathcr (jian
issue Treasury notes. They supposed a
loan would do to scare the people with,
and that they could skulk out of the re
sponsibility. But vvc beat them by a few
votes, and beat them on a motion to re
consider, next day by the casting vote of
the Speaker; one of the Whigs from your
State (Mr. Deberry) could not swallow the
dose towards the last, and remained silent;
he seems to be well disposed, although
generally a good Whig.
The New Yorkers have resumed and
swear thai they will not work in Old Nick's
harness anv longer, that he whips and,
" . . - i. i
spurs too hard. Alter mo icw iuiu
Hmfc h.nl olf red a loan of specie to ena-
-! blc Nick to resume; he slill refused, say
I ing the Government tntist and should sur
J) renter, and strike their colois or he carry
destruction of all kinds throughout the
j0. t1;ll js 10 jsal)c u S;1ys to
. noo)0 ,,in- t,crc js somc
truth in that saying. lint he a party
Regulator of the currency, not able to
pay in legal money to the amount of one
dollar in each transaction he has. Every
dog has his day, Biddle anil his British
Bank have had theirs, "and like Lucifer of
old, fell," and never to rise again. They
have now got the harness on Old Nick, and
the New Yorkers are drivers themselves;
Nick drove them over some rough road
and hard shaves, now they arc driving
him over real corduroy turnpike, and the
lawyers, clerks, sheriffs, &c. are shaving
him to a tunc of high cost, daily on large
sums SlOO,000 at a time and often repeat
ed. So often, that it is said his broad
cloth gets threadbare right on the shoulder
first.
New York is as busy as a bee hive, and
all the cash flowing there millions weekly
and often daily, and prosperity has again
returned, by the same power that checked,
checked il, the Banks; all combined to
force the Congress to take bank paper not
good, they have failed to drive the coun
try, and now after having burnt their own
fingers badly, they arc compelled to go a
hcad again on their own hook. New York
has been the first to strike to the force of
public opinion, and Old Nick and Phila
delphia banks will be the next that w ill be
compelled to strike and do justice under
the force of public opinion, and all our
banks will soon do so or die. The people
win not allow the Banks to collect nil the
specie in the country, and speculate upon
it, and refuse to pay their honest debts,
with it and compel the people to pay them,
at the same time all they owe them; this is
an outrage and cannot long be practised a
monga free and intelligent people.
What has become of the million and a
half sent North Carolina by the Govern
ment, in 1S37, in specie or its equivalent?
Not one dollar of it has circulated among
the people. Demand of the members of
the last Assembly what they done with it,
and demand of the candidates this year to
gather it up, and divide it among the coun
ties for the people, as has been done in
most of the States. Somebody has specu
lated on the people's hard money long
enough, while the people's property has
been and is bound as security for it. Did
our last Assembly take good personal se
curity for it, the Acts say they did not.
Our Governor loaned the 3d instalment,
and has been often called on, to know what
sort of security he took for the money and,
he is as dumb about it as a man that can
not or will not speak. Wc must know a
few things in due time before the election
in August, or some folks will be sadly dis
appointed. There is yet sufficient time for
these matters to be settled. Yours, truly.
CONGRESS.
In the Senate, on the 21st inst. Mr
Clay presented his projet for a National
Bank, which (the Globe states) was met in
limine by Mr. Buchanan, who promptly
exposed the fallacy of the views set forth
in the proposition.
The House of Representatives, on the
lGth inst. passed the bill authorizing the
issue often millions dollars in Treasury
Notes, by a vote of 106 to 99. A motion
was made the next day to reconsider,
which was negatived by the casting vote
of the Speaker; there being 1 10 to 109, he
voting in the negative, the question was
lost. The delegation from this State vo
ted on its passage as follows: Yeas, Messrs.
Bynum, Connor, Hawkins, McKay, Mont
gomery. Nays, Messrs. Deberry, Gra
ham, Rencher, Chas. Shepard, Stanly,
Williams. On the motion to reconsider,
the vote was nearly the same Mr. Deber
ry being absent, and Mr. A. H. Sheppcrd
voting in the negative. The bill passed
the Senate on the ISth, by a vote of 27 to 13.
Report on Mr. Clay's proposition for
a paper currency. Mr. Wright, chair
man of the committee on finance, reported
on Mr. Clay's resolution referred to that
committee. Some debate occurred on the
motion to print, which elicited remarks on
the character of the paper. It was admit
ted on all hands to be distinguished by
great ability. The Opposition considered
t ingenious; the friends of the Adminis
tration, perfectly fair in its statements, and
conclusive in its arguments.
This well considered and powerful pa
per makes up the issue between the parties
in this country. Mr. Clay, in tl c true
spirit of the oligarchy of another country
the Tories of England would build up
the power of his party on privilege and on
corporation monopoly. He has, there
fore, boldly hazarded the proposition to
substitute bank currency for the currency
of the Constitution in all the uses of the
Government. His resolution makes it
compulsory on the Treasury to receive and
pay out the paper ot the banks. It is to
he constrained to receive it in all pay
ments, and compelled to tender it in all
disbursement?. It is pretended, however,
that the Government creditors are to have
an option whether they will receive it or
not; but how can they have an option,
when the Government is to have nothing
else to offer!
Mr. Clay's scheme i.s to make bank is
sues the sinews of Government. He
walks in the footsteps of Hamilton, and
would give the political sovereignty to the
tundmg money-dealing class, and with
draw it from the mass of the people made
up of farmers, mechanics, and other labor
ing classes, whose industry the aristocracy
would appropriate, as in England.
Globe, 161 h inst.
Enormous abuse in Banking. The
public papers in the South and Southwest
arc occupied in detecting and exposing a
new abuse in banking, which no one could
have believed possible before it was prov
ed. It is this: Instead of keeping their
effective funds in their own vaults to re
deem their notes as presented, in some
thing available to the holder, these effec
tive funds are placed in Philadelnhh nr
New York banks, and then the holder of
their notes will be paid in a check upon
these funds at a premium to the bank, va
rying from 10 to 30 percent, in different
States! Thus, instead of bringing home
the proceeds of their Cotton, and instead
of bringing home the loans in specie which
they make, the proceeds of this cotton
and of these loans are all placed in Atlan
tic cities, and checked upon to the tune of
ten, twentv. and even thirtv nor rnnt
ved out of the hands of the possessors of
their own notes. 1 lie bank, by this means,
becomes a Broker and Shaver in its own
notes, and in the notes of other suspended
banks, and gains profit precisely in propor
tion to the degree of depreciation to which
it is able to sink its own notes, and that of
other banks in whose paper it deals. This
is an enormous abuse. It is more: it is an
offence against morality, and may be an
offence at law. The Southern papers cha
racterize it as "swindling," and as "rob
bing;" and certainly the laws of the coun
try, as well us public opinion, ought to be
brought to bear on such conduct. ib.
7'imes in Mississippi. The Globe
contains the following extract of a letter
from Mississippi, to a member of Con
gress: 4The limes are truly alarming here.
Many plantations are entirely stripped of
negroes and horses by the marshal or she
riff; and to add to our other difficulties, our
bank paper is getting worse every day.
Wc cannot get plantation supplies for less
than double New Orleans prices, with our
money. Suits arc multiplying two thou
sand five hundred in the United States
Circuit Court, and three thousand eight
hundred in Hinds County Court. Silver
is demanded, and our citizens threaten vio
lence and bloodshed. We are in a bad
situation. The Union Bank is just goin
into operation, and much is expected from
it in paying off our foreign debt. Whe
ther it can answer public expectation, time
alone can prove; but I fear it cannot. The
Board are prudent and will not endanger
the credit of the State."
Coin, Mines N. Carolina. We saw
yesterday, for the first time, the gold coin
issued by the Branch Mint at Charlotte in
this State. It is a very fine specimen, and
in all respects similar to the coin issued
irom the mint at Philadelphia, with the
exception of a small letter c, under the
head of liberty, which designates the is
sues of this branch from cither the New
Orleans or Georgia Branches..
Wc had the pleasure of seeing a speci

Ruthcrfordton, May 12 Two of the
volunteer companies of infantry, which
were raised from the three ragiments of
this county, left here on Wednesday last

Abolition Riot. The Abolitionists, in
attempting to hold a meeting in Philadel
phia, on the 17th inst. in Pennsylvania
Hall, a large building recently erected for
their use, at an expense of $50,000, exci
ted the pupular indignation, and a large
mob was raised, the houe was attacked,
set fire to, and reduced to ashes. No oth
er buildings were injured, nor no persons
maltreated. There had been addresses
delivered by the incendiary Garrison,
Mrs. Grimke Weld, Miss Mott, &c. The
meeting was promiscuously composed of
about 3000 white and black people. The
immediate cause of this popular out-break
is said to have been the ridiculous and os
tentatious amalgamation of colors in Ches
nut street, during hours of fashionable pro
menading. Whites and blacks, arm in arm,
were thronging the streets by scores,
whereat the populace became greatly ex
