NATIONAL BANK.
fhe house resumed the consideration of the till
from the Senate u to incorporate the Subscribers to
the Bank of the United States of Amenca.
Mr. Forsyth moved to refer the bill to a select
committee.
Mr. Lowndes superseded this motion by a mo
tion to postpone the bill indefinitely. He made
U is motion, not from any hostility to a National
Bank, wishing as the gentleman did, that a Nation
al Bank, should be established; but because he
wished it to be done at a time and under circum-
stanceswhich would give the house ability to de
ride correctly on the subject. He believed, be
said, and tie was not alone in that opinion, that the
present moment was most unfavorable one for
the establishmentof a Bank. It must be kndwn
that, long as the subject of a bank had been agitat
ed, there hatl been important differences of aenti-
.a i a t
ment as to tne principles 01 sucn an institution,
which had been suppressed because of the pressure
of the times. Among other objections to acting on
this subject at present, ho said, it was no trilling
one that tne suspension 01 specie payments py me
State Banks, which every one considered an evil,
svould unquestionably be prolonged by It. , In the
frapment ot the session which now remains,' there
would not be time to enter into a consideration of
these points ; and, if there were full lime tne mere
circumstance of the new and almost insuperable dif
ficulties arisiag from a new state of things which
now present themselves, ought to suggest a reason
for postponement. Congrcsa could not now estab
lish a bank hull so eligmle, or halt so durable)
as they could at a future session.
Mr. Gaston conceived tliere would be less diffi
culty io acting on this subject at the present ses
sion, than was anticipated by the gentleman from
Smith Carolina. The subject l.as been so repeat
edly discussed, that he tr.oui.t it could be acted on
more advantageously in the small remnant of the
present session, than in the first session of a new
Confess, bringing together individuals not ac
quainted with each other's views, avA not having
th advAntfTf nf l.er.riiirr the suhtet r fienuentlv c!is-
" 0 '
cussed. Having always been tnendly to such an
institution, and believing it as imports::, in pc.te ts
in war, he hoped .in experiment would be' made, by
lefcrring tlus subject to a committee, which, whe
ther successful or not, would not .consume much
time of the House.

I he amendmeots were agreed to.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill
araetidatory to the direct tax and furniture tax
bHwere before the house, and partly agreed
and partly disagreed to Among the amend
meots, vras one repealing the section allowing
annual assumption by the states of their re
spective quotas of the direct tax, and allowing
a deduction of 15 per cent, on the amount so
assumed. The committee of ways & means
recommended a disagreement to this amend
ment.
This recommendation was supported by
Messrs. Eppes, Lowndes, Fisk of Vt. Bar
bour, Jackson of Va. Farrow, Macon and
Taylor, and opposed by Messrs. Pitkin and
Sheffey.
This amendment of the Senate was eventu
ally disagreed to.

" That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to

Mr. Lattnnore, from the select committee on the

ri.ory, praying admission into the Union, made a re
port favorable thereto, accompanied by a bill author
izing the people of the territory ol Mississippi to

To the Senate and UousejoJ liefirettciuaUvea oj the
,' Unit td Slant.
. I lay before Congfess copies of two ratified ties
tiea which were emerged into on the part of the U.
States, one on the 22d day bf July. lv8 14, with the
several .Tribes of todiatig" called the Wyandotjts,
Uelawares, Shaw anoes, oenakas and Miamies ; tbe
icisl tive counsels, of the patriotism of facpsoj. lo,of
the public spirit of tue tniliUH,anui. f the valor utun
military and naval f.rcs of the. ccui.try. Peace, hi
all uincsablessii?,is rx-cuiiaily welcome, therefore
at a period when the causes for iht war have ceased
to operate ; when the government has demonstrated
tne elhciency ol its power of defence : aid when
the nation can review its conduct without regreat,
and witliout reproach.
I recommend to your care and bei ifircnce, the
gallant men wi.ose achievements, in every di pert
inent of military sirvie, ontr.c lnd and on tfe
water, have m ;ssntLlly conuibuted to the honor
of the American name, ;d to tbe restoration oC
p-ace. l i e feu'ings of conscious patriotism and
worth will animiU such men, under every change
of f-''.u :u ..nd puuit ; but their country performs
a duty ;o us-..f, whe-i it b sfws those testimonials
of . ppiib tion and ppl .ur, which aic, at once,
tne reward and t-e itn.er.t:',c, to trrcat actions.
The reduction oi' tr.e pu ihr. expe i..itui cs to the
demands of a peace esi-'Ui-si. merit w ill, doubtless,
engage the .irr.m.;oi ..it ttte -ti';r of Congress.
There are, however, ,iiv,i..it..iit cot.siderations .
wiiich fovbid a sudden and g -rsial revocation of the
measure toat have been proofed by the war
Experience has taught us, tJiat ntitiicr the pacific
dispositions ot the American people, nor the pacific
character of their political instituil ms, oan alto-
gether exempt tuem from that strife which appears
beyond the ordinary lot of nations, to be incident to
the actual period of the world -r and the same faith
ful monitor demonstrates thai a certain degree of
preparation for war, is not only Indispensable to a
vert disaster in .the onset, but-ffuras also the best
security for the continuance of peace. The wis
dom of Congress wtt, therefore',' lam cot.bVert,
provide ior tue maintenance ot an di quite regular,,
force ; for the gradual advance of the naval est,
blishmcnt ; for improving all the means of harbor
defence ; for adding discipline to the distinguished
bravery of the militia, and for cultivating the mili
tary art, in its essential branches, under the liberal
patronage ol government. ' ,
The resources'of our coantry were at all times,
competent to the attainment of every national ob
ject ; bui they will now be enriched ano invigora
ted by the activity which peace Will introduce into
all tiie scenes of domestic enterprise and labour.
The provision that has been made for the pubiic
creditors, during the present session of congress,
must have a decisive -effect in the establishmentof
th? public credit, both at home and abroad. The
reviving interests of commerce will claim the le- .
gislative attention at the earliest opportunity ; and
such regulations will, I trust be seasonably devised
U3 shall secure to the U, States their just proportion -of
the navigation of the world. The most liberal
policy towards other nations, if met by correspon- .
ding depositions, will, in this respect, be found t' e
most beneficial policy towards ourselves. But
there is no subject that can enter with greater force
and merit into the deliberation of congress, than
consideration of the means to preserve and promote.
the manutacturcs which have spring into existence
and attained an unpat ailed mulurity throughout the
u. States during the period of the Eurpeai wars.
This source of national independence and wealth,!
anxiously recommend to the prompt and constant
guardianship ol Congress.
i he termination ot the legislative session will
soon separate you fellow-citizens, from each otreiy
and restore you to your constituents! I pray you
to bear with you the expressions of my most san
guine nope, that the peace which has been just de
clared w.ll not only be the foundation of the most
friendly intercourse between thc United Stf.tes and
Great Britain, but that it will also be productive 01
happiness and harmony in every section of our be ,
ioved country. The ir.fiuencc of your precepts
and example must be every "where powerful; and
while we accord in grateful acknowledgements for
the protection which Providence has bestowed up
ou us, let us never cease to inculcate obedience to
the laws, and fidelity to the union, as consututiug
the palladium of the national independence and
pToTperiiy". JAMES-MADISON. -
