I am sorry, Mr Chairman, that I cannot keep upon the track. As the majority in this House have adopted a resolution a gag rule ihat no member shall speak longer than one hour, I think I should be permitted to speak that hour without interruption. If I cannot, however, I suppose I must submit. , I retura to the report of the Secretary of Treasury. And here I must be permitted to say, that it is one of the foulest documents that ever emanated from that Department. It is filled with r misrepresentations from the first page to the last paragraph. , It is a labor ed effost on the part of the secretary and the present Cabinet, to throw the odium of this extra session of Congress upon the last Ad ministration. Why, sir, they have the reck less impudence to ask for new appropriations, amounting to near three millious of dollars; and then turn right round, in the face of an intelligent people, and call it a debt which they have inherited from that Administration! The truth is, at the end of this year, with pro per economy that economy' which they pro mised, and the country expects there will not be a deficit of one cent. But if they go on as they have been doing, asking for "more money," "more money," there is no telling where the thing may terminate, and the pubiic debt may be fifty millions instead of six! Last session the gentleman' from New York, Mr Bernard, labored to show that there was a public debt hanging over us of forty mil lions! Other gentlemen contended that there were ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five mil lions. They greatly differed among them selves as to the amount. Now the- Secretary. of tho Treasury comes forward, and with all his misstatemenfsj cannot make it out, but a little over three millions, excluding the new appropriations that are asked for! Here Mr Barnard rose, and denied that he ever said the public debt was forty millions. Mr W. proceeded. I read the gentleman's speech carefully, and I cannot be mistaken. He even set down the fourth instalment under the deposite act, as a purt of the public debt. Mr Bernard. I did no such thing, and if the gentleman read my speech, he knows he is misrepresenting me. Mr W. I did read the gentleman's speech, but it was a tough pill; it made the cold sweat pour off of me; and if I can get forgiveness for leading it, I pledge myself never to bother my brain with auy more of the geutlemau's erra tic effusions. ,a Mr Chairman: I regret that I am not per mitted to discuss many matters connected with this administration. I w6uld like o con trast their promises and professions before coming iuto power, with their practices since. But this I am told will not be in order, and therefore I resume my seat. - ; - a l ft h rrmi i lit tiiii n i u to account; s . , . , . s. ...oiva to rivet their chains on the uecfts of ur fellow sufferers.

This defaulter has vontured home, now that there is a whig admiuistratiou, which doubtless, in his opinion and that of others of his class, will aiiord hue times for them. So long as the democrats were in power, he was afraid to venture his person within (he Ulited States. I V,:" He is undergoing an. examination, it ap pears, beforeMhe committee of Poindexter & Co., who are investigating the New York Custom House transactions. They will pro bably take all ho siys i'.r truth, nrlwitbstand ing his rogueries. They contrived to throw upon Mr V.u Buren's admiuitratioii the odium of his misconduct, although they very well knew ih;it he was a conservative, alias Whig ot ihe Tulimadge stamp, and one who had probably devoiod a portion of the pub lic money which "he embezzled, to aid the whig cause. (' : Now we venture fhe prediction that. if Swartwout be prosecuted at all, the whig press will exert its itiflueuce in his favor, to make his cause appear as well as possible, as it has done in relation to almost every public defaul ter, whenever brought toaccountnefbrea court and jury. Extravagant claitmf fbr allowances are always trumped up by these gentry and the whigs generally cry ameuW them. The people at iarge pay taxes,. aucT whoever gets . the public money gets the money of tlie peo ple, which is so much clear gain to those who hold that oho man is born to toil and fo pay, and another to receive the fruits of his indus try aad enjoy them in idleness and luxury. Tho whigSfWfll find no difficulty in facing about andfadvocating Swartwout's cause! They are ised to turning and turning, aud slid going on. They have made him serve one purpose by assailing him ; they will put bim to another by defending him. Pennsyl vanianC - ' ELECTIONS. ..' INDIANA. The Globe has an extract from a htter, dated August 3d, which says: "W. J.Brown, Democrat, beats A. W. Morris, whig, about 300. The whig majority last fall, was SCO." A ouVr letter, from Jefferson County, says that Jess P. Bright, democrat, who was removed from the office of Marshall, has been elected to the State Senate.

Time will thow the truth of the asseiljon. - - ' State Temperance Convention-and more besides. We arc very g"Iad to see, by a circular from the "Raleigh Temperance Soeict'," that a re solution has been passed by that Society, mooting the qnrstion of the propriety of calling a SlateTrm- pcrance Convention, to meet in Raleigh, "on pome day that may be designated by the "Board of Man agers." We are of opinion, that if ever a State was in need of soroe measures tending to abate the pro gress of intemperance, that state is North Carolina. Not that our people gonctally are drunkards, but to our certain knowledge, a vast deal of ardent spirits is consumed by them. , A great quantity of spirits is made in the State, and notwithstanding that, we have been informed by some of the merchants, that they sell more whis key than any thing else. We were informed by a merchant that he sold out a barrel of whiskey before breakfast, just to the little carts that come in from the neighboring counties. They bring in their ergs tluir butter their chickens potatoes, and in fact any thing that-tbey can sell, (and many times, we are informed, leave themselves little or nothing at home to live upon,) to market, and probably ex change the belter part of it for whiskey. This is what keeps our farmers poor. Let a man follow what business he may, j$he sePs his labor for whis key, he will d.-iig out a miserable existence. But there is another side to this question, many of our farmers, we are irrrbrmed, are obliged to put their produce in the stiil, because they cannot get it to market.. Here, then, our Legislature is at fault. Is there a man in his senses, that will' not condemn our last Legislature, for giving the credit of the State to two rail-roads, winch are already perishing, instead of applying that 'same credit to the making of turnpikes into our western country, in order to enable our western farmer to bring his produce to market and get money for it? Yes, turnpikes are what we want; not rail-roads. Our population is too sparse for rail -roads. We are not enough of a travelling people to sustain them, and freight alone wi'l never support a rail-road. But it seems that the people of North Carolina are cursed with the fol ly of being blind to theTr own interest. , They send men to their Legislature, who bestow their bounty on corporations; yes, heartless corporations, and neglect the interest of their own constituents. Where were 3rour icestem Whigs, when this rail road business was fixed, last winter? Echo answers where. Yes, where they will ever be, in the ranks of federalism; by the side of' those who would see North Carolina blasted, ere" their corporation schemes should be thwarted. .The wise man will profit by experience, but the fool heedeth not the past. , An Acknowledgment The National Intelligencer of the 3d inst., has the following sentence, which occurs in an article ur ging Congress to pass the Distribution BJl. We would construe it into an acknowledgment, that it is certain that the next Congress will be a Democratic Congress. " "Who will venture to predict what will be the ef fect under the new apportionment, of the influx of members into the next Congress, upon this ques tion? Is any one sanguine enough to believe, if this measure be deferred, upon any plea or argu ment concerning the compromise act," &.c. "that an occasion will offer more favorable to its success, than the present." - ; t What "are we to think of this? , Why that the In telligencer knows that the days of humhuggery arc past; that a reaction, fatal to these federal mea sures, is developing itself ; that a rod is in 'so.ik, whose chastening whiggery dreads. : Swartwout Aboutwhomthe Whigs have abus ed Mr Van Buren riot a little, and who, in the opin ion of whig editors during the Presidential election, was a great scamp, returned to New York by the last steamer. An order for his arrest, was in the hands orthe Marshall of that city; but what do we see? This whig Administration countermands the ordeT. -These very same whigs take him by the hand, and court his favor. " When, months ago, it w as announced by the De mocratie press; that but little would be lost by him, the whig press w-as deaf to the announcement They hoard it not. JVbio they trumpet it forth. Such hvpocrisy is sickening and disgusting. 1 Natural Coriosity. An English paper men tions a youth, 3 1 feet high, whose body is covered with dark horny thorns, like the coat of a hedge hog.

Mr Alb n's resolution tolu.ld Executive Sessions, (whero treaties were not under consideration,) with open doors, was then taken up, and supported by Mr Allen. Mr Clay then knocked it on the head by having it laid on tho table. The Bill for fortifications and for suppressing In-1 dian hostilities was then taken up, and many amend ments offered. The Senate adjourned without any final action. Wednesday, Aug. 4, 18 11. The Fortification Bill was tlie principal topic of T (Aiscuseien to-day. Mr Preston spoke at consider Hibhvlincth, in favor of the amendment establishing an artncryiitr West. After much debate, and many unsuccessfulltempts to amend, the biil was engrossed for a third 2jnff.'. ' rf, ....... .X... A n n ICO j. it c ivo lli i ,r i i Much warm and useless debate took resolution of Mr Benton's, to print a memor meeting of the citiz' ns of Fauquier county, Virgin ia. Mr Clay became exceedingly wrathy. In a fit of passion, he insisted that Air. Calhoun was out of order, end culled- on the Chair to call him to order. The Cliair decid. d he was in order. Mr Clay must have felt right bad after thai. The 13 i 1 1 to continue in force tho Charters cf the District Banks "Was ifin taken up, and passed; a'so the fori ification Bill; alter which-the Pension Bili was taken, up, and debated I ill adj juniment. FltlDAY, Allg. (), 1S41. The consideration of the Navy Pension B. 11 was resinned to-day. Mr Williams moved to reptal tLc Act of 1337. Mr Mangum opposed jt. Mr Cal houn warmly siifipoitdd it. It w;:s lust by one rote, antl we will say that was Mangirn's. The B:!I was then ordered to a third reading. The Distribution Bi!l was taken up, a short time b; fore adjournment, and Mr Smith, of Indiana, gave the views of the Committee, on the Bill. Monday, Aug. 9, 1811. Considerable debate ensued on a resolution of Mr Clay, of Ala., asking if more clerks bad not been apointed in the land c.flice. Mr B. nton pep pt red the wh-gs pretty hotly for creating another grc it expense lo the government by calling home the gic.tt r portion of the dif loniatie Corps, in or der to put whigs in the ir-p'aees. Every minister called home creates an expanse of SD,0t 0 for outfit, &c, and in some places uli- re only Chargr-s have been sent, Air Webster is so'ng fo send a full min ister. The subject was laid' upon the table. The Land Bill was th n taken up and occupied the rest of tho day. - .t Tuesday, Aug. 10, 1S41. Tho LaniS dftribution Bill was resumed to-day. It was proposed by Ms Clay of Ala. that the bill should not go into operation until the new S'12,000, OQOd.bt sh uld be paid. To this MrClay o Ky. ob jected." lie said that when the compromise act was adjusted, it was with an understanding th it the lands should not be looked lo as a revenue. Messrs Calhoun, Wright, King, Rives, and CIay of Ala. denied that any such understanding existed, and entire'y refuted Mr Clay's argument. HOUSE OF representatives; ' Wednesday, Aug. 4, 1S41. A communication from the French Minister, to th Sec retary of tho Treasury, was laid b. fore Con gress, in relation to the eoiimn ice between the Gov ernments. TheTluuse was informed by the President, that the Statue of Washington, had arrived in Washing ton, and asking an appropriation to deli.- y expenses of freight, &c. The Bank Biil was then taken up, and discussed by Messrs Brown, Botts, Profllt, Gamble, &c. Thursday, Aug. 5,- 1S41. Mr Adams wished to know why the French Min ister, had addressed the Secretary of the Treasury on the suLjett of the Tariff Bill, before the House, and also what right he had to interfere at all in the matter; but after some satisfactory explanations froinlr Fillmore, the sul jeet was laid on the table. TheFisc.il Bank Bi!l was then taken up. Mr Bidlatk said, in relation to the decision cf the Su preme Court, that the Bank was constitutional, as follows:- "The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Botts) contends that ueither Congress nor the Presi dent -has the right to consider this question, inasmuch a? the Supreme Court have decided it. The decision was merely that the then existing Bank was 5 constitutional, upon the ground that it was necessary for the time being. This, then, refers the questiou of the necessity expressly to the consideration of Congress, and oCthe President likewise, as a co-ordiuate branch of the Government." In relation to the subject of repealing the charter of the Bank, he said: "..; "Mr.. B. next adverted to the question that had been raised of repeal, lie took the ground that the right of repeal was undoubted, aud that the exercise of the right was a duly, be cause if the people submit to infractions of their rights under the plea of vested rights, they are no longer free. It was ' right that they should take the alarm at the attempt to revive a corrupt and exploded system, which there was cverr where reason to believe would terminate as 'the last had."' - ""; -Ti cert a: al!etiii but then sh wa 3AkA . , tH.a . ntt. i pr. ana .yamupi ic vmui. w...r. will i not venture ty "-in. It is a pity Mtsjrs Marshall and Wise then spoke against a iii sec section of the bill, and said ihey must vote against Ihe whole W1L Mr -Wise, denied that the Presidential election decided any ining in lavor oi a Bank. Mr; Wise referred to the article iri the Na tional Intelligencer, which we have noticed yi an othex i column, and said: v ",T-i" C(IIe repudiated the dcJctrine which he saw laid down, in an article that, appeared in the oflicial organ of the majority of that House, on the subject of the passage of the distribu tion bill. , Here Mr. VI. lead the article from the National Intelligencer. What, said Mr. W. is the doctrfne there laid down? Is it that you must make hay while the sun shines? No, that is the doctrine of the wise man; but it is the doctrine of acertaiu class of politicians that you may snatch power from tbe people whenever you have the opportunity. Popular confidence, said Mr. VV. was ah essejitial element in an institution like the one about to be established. JHe confessed that if the Bank of the United States, such as he desired to see established, was to go through such scenes, encounter the same dif ficulties, and wage the same warfaie, as the last institution had, that he should regard it more as a curse than as a blessing. Let it not be forced into existence. Let the power not be snatched from the people by a doubt ful majority in doubtful time. It must be created by the sovereign power of the people, and not by mere parties. It was not strictly in order to lefer to what passes in the other branch of the National .-Legislature, yet he might bo permitted to say, that if the bill passed now, it would be a minority measure. Aud how? Tho sixteenth section was incorpora ted in it because it was known that without it, it could not pass. By what vote was it passed? By a vote of 25 to 24, and though the question was not snatched, yet it was dodged, for two members opposed to it, ab sented themselves when th vote was taken. Further, said Mr. -W.; on this floor, two of the sovereign States are unrepresented. Gen tlemen need not tell me that there are votes enough to cany the bill without them; for with the evidence before me, 1 cannot tell but the presence of-the votes would after the result. Gentlemen saw a stern aud.determined oppo sition on thaLJf" several portions w the terrible p. - i ..ii cry ot repeal was nearu. lie cvrvj not tell how that cry ftf repeal was to term could not foresee the issue of such a stru but he would say to gentlemen, that the d trme of vested rights did not apply in this case. But there was another mode of de ciding this question, besides repeal, r.nd that was before the Supreme Court. God forbid that he should say any thing disparagingly of that sacred tribunal; but he would a.sk, if the distinguished ' gentleman, who removed the public depositcs from the Bank of the United Stales was not at the head of. it, aud if a ma jority of its members, was not of that school of politicians, who believed a Bank of the United States to be unconstitutional? Suppose this question goes' before the Su preme Court, and they tnke it up as.au origi nal question, what will be the result? I say then to you wait there is a liou in your path. It is time that you have the power to remove that lion by increasing the circuits, and ap pointing new judges enough to have a ma jority of them' in favor of a Bank; but will you incur so fearful a responsibility will you agitate the country for such a purpose? The discussion was continued till 10 o'clock, P.M. Friday, Aug. 6, 1S41. The consideration- of the Bat. k Bid was resumed to-day, and continued until 12 o'clock, when accor ding to previous resolution it was taken out of Comm ttec of the Wiiohyanl altr the proposal of inmy amendments, most of which were njected, the Biil was passed, in the form sent from the Se iate, as follows: YEAS.

But, as to this modern cry of repeal, ho could. not permit an impression ' to e made that it could find toleration in h; district, even with the great body of the De- ' i mocratie party ; but for this he was riot au thorized to speak. Certain he was that in the district at large, of which Fauquier con stituted a part, a doctrine so disorganizing v ' would firrd littleTavor a doctrine goin.r to the violation of public faith, and all the prin. ciples upon which property rests its' security, and up rooting the fundamental principles of society. Mr P. therefore, in the uatne of the Commonwealth xof Virginia at large, and of his own district in particular, repudiated such doctrines. However they might flourish else where, he was well assured that in the ancient Commonwealth' of Virginia, the land of steady principles, they would take no root, aud find no favor. ' - The Bill to repeal tho Sub Treasury, hang the unfinished business, was taken up. Mr. Pickens opposed the measure. He was in favor ef the Su!-.-Treasury, b cause it separated the credit cl i! c county f.oin t':e business of the country. The Bill, after two or three hours debute, was PASSED; Ay. s, 134; Noes, 87.

Did he not declare in a speech to a poition of his fellow-citizens .of Georgia, in 1832, that hi: views with regard to the constitution ality of such an institution had undergone a change? Such is our impression. Will some of our'Gcorgia exchange papers inform us whether we are correct?" tVe copy tlie above from the Lynchburg Republican. We can positively ailirm th.:t 3Ir. Crawford, in 182 9, did retract the opin ion h3 entertained, previously to that tune, of the constitutionality and expediency of a na tional bank. The writer of this pningraph heard Mr Crawford express himself to that ef fect, then, and shortly before his death. Ii this opinion of that distinguished gentleman could be denied, we could find in our files, aud in letters from him in our possession, tho declaration of the opinion in question under his own hand ; but hundreds of the citizens of Georgia can testify to what we asset t. Mr Crawford never concealed, or disguised his principles and opinions : he always was fear less in the expression of them. Cojislilutiun-alist. lZT" The P nnsylvanian thinks thut the i !( a that the present session of Congress will bo a failure, is a mistake; that three things have been ucceni plislicd: "1st. Tiiat the people aie to be run in debt. 2d. They are to be more 'heavily taxed. 3d. m The expenses of the Government are to be enormous." I?o net be deceived. Wo find in the Globe a Mutation of an attempt to at tach the- odium of the Tea, Ccjinc, and Salt t;is, to the Democratic p;irty. Now s.ny attempt of this sort, discovers a m anm-ss- a cowardice, and a d; -sire to fchufil'ioiit ! responsibility, which is d rai! in to any party. We have never ct met, in pii- fvatc life, one whi who was so base; yet weste their leaders,' and their journals trying to deceive the people. We wish every body to n a-1 the following article, from the Globe; and we do say, that men who wou'd be guilty of such tricks, would n-j't hesi tate Ut rob a church. Tea and CoIt e Tax. Some tricky Federal partisan, who want.-? lo excuse his party, and possibly himself, from the odium of imposing a tax on tea and cof fee, sends the Richmond Whig the follow ing account of the matter: , " There was'oue feature in which the bill was particularly objectionable to most of the Whigs, viz: the tax on tea and coffee. Tho Whig members held a caucus on, this subject, at which a large majority determined that tea and coffee -should be exempt from taxation. Accordingly, when the bill was under con sideration in the Committee of the Whole, Mr Lawrence of Pennsylvania, a prominent Whig member, moved to amend the bill by adding tea and coffee to the listbf free arti cles. Before the question could be taken on this proposition, Mr Clifford of Maine, a lead ing Loco Foco, and a ready parliamentary tactician, (having been Speaker of one branch of the Legislature-of Maine,) immediately moved to amend the amendment of Mr Law rence, by adding to tea and coffee 4 sugar, molasses, and salt.'. . Te whole Loco Foco party then united with Mr C: in voting for the amendment to the amendment, and, in conjunction with such of the ultra anti-tariff Whigs as wished tea and coffee to be taxed, carried the amendment. The Whigs were thus placed in a very awkward predicament, from which they, in vain, attempted to extri cate themselves. WTinthrop of Boston 'called &r a division of the -question on the amend ment as amended, so as-to present the ques tion separately, but the Chair very 'promptly decided that the vote of the committee having joined them together, the Chair could not put thcra asunder. The Whig party wee thus sin 'Hiiis he can think of, at present.
