Martin 24. -Mr Gilmer moved that a message be sent to the House of Commons, proposing to vote forthwith for a United State's sena tor, Mr Thomas, of Haywood, moved to amend this motion by striking out " forth with," and inserting on the " 3d day of January next." The senate refused to strike out yeas 22, nays 26. Mr Rogers then ottered the following amendment : And that in said election each member should vote according to the wishes of his constituents, as expressed in his election on the 3d of August last-' Mr Halsey moved to amend this, by striking out the word "his," immediately before the word " election," and inserting the word the," which did not prevail. Pending these various motions, a runn ing debate took place between Messrs. Thomas, of Haywood, Joyner, Gilmer, and Rogers. Mr Gilmer said Mr Rogers could not have calculated the ett'ect of his amend ment, for that if adopted it would bind the senator from Haywood to vote for a whig senator. Mr Thomas replied that he had not the slightest objection to the passage of the amendment, as he had already voted for a whig for senator (Mr Clingman, to Congress. But he would inform the gen tleman that in his District, there was a cer tain party, much larger than either of the others, which he called the country's or people's party ; and that he should always consult them in giving his votes. He thought he had done his duty to his whig constituents, in voting lor Mr Clingman; and in giving that vote he had no doubt carried out their wisbes. He expected to be left to discharge his duties here as he might think proper, according to his own judgment. Mr Joyner expressed his great surprise at the amendment ottered by Mr Rogers. He said it was out of place, improper, and ought not to be considered for one moment by the senate. He said if such a proposi tion had come from one of his best friends, he would have opposed it. There was no precedent for it, and he hoped it would be voted down. Mr Rogers in reply said, that it was very strange that the gentleman from Halifax should object to his amendment, w hen that very senator, but a few day's since, had voted, for one precisely similar in its na ture declaring that members ought to vote for a senator to Congress in accordance with the popular will, as expressed in No vember last. He could not see why any gentleman should object to his amendment. It contained an important principle one dear to him, and which ought to be cherish ed by all the right of the constituents of members to be consulted and to be heard in the votes whicli senator s might give ; and he was anxious to have a direct vote on the amendment. He wanted to see who would stand to up this principle, and w ho would record his vote against it. Pending the question on Mr Roger's amendment, the senate adjourned. HOUSE. OF COMMONS. Mr Brown presented a Memorial from citizens of Sampson in reference to Jus tices of the Peace. Mr Newson, a bill to incorporate Wake county june company. 16. Saturday, Dec SENATE. . After the Journal of yesterday had been read, the speaker announced roe unfinished business, being the consideration of the amendment ottered by Mr Rogers to Mr Gilmer's resolution. Mr Gilmer moved to strike out & amend as follows: That the senator to be voted for shall reflect the political opinions of a majority of the people of the State." Mr Rogers said, whatever his opinions might be as to the merits of the above amendment, he could not vote" for it be cause he regarded it as a mere decoy-duck, thrown out by the senator from Guilford,. General Assembly, according to the free white population of the state, and not in proportion to the public taxes paid into the Treasury of the state. 3rd. So as to provide that after allowing to each county one member in the House ot Commons, that in making the apportion mentof the balance of members, the ratio of representation shall be ascertained by dividing the amount of free white popula ti,a cafp. aftpr deducting: thatcom- I prehended within those counties which do ' , .1 I. n t rttl anil not severally contain me uc twentieth part of the entire free white po- pulation atoresaiu, Dy me . . preventatives less than the members assign ed to said counties. Mr Rayner said that those resolutions seemed to cover the whole ground, embrac ing the whole question of the alteration of the constitution. He hoped it would be altered in some way. Mr Oirlesbv then added the followin: Be it further Resolved, These resolu tions be referred to the committee on the Judiciary, with instructions to report by bill or otherwise. Mr Kelly moved that the resolutions be rejected, upon which motion the yeas and f nays were called, when the Mouse voieu as follows : Yeas Messrs. Allen, Ballard, Biggs, Blow, Brown, Brogden, Canaday, Cherry, Coffield, Dancy, Dickson, Farrow, Ferebee, Foy, Green, Griggs, Havman, Herring. It. Jones, R. H. Jones, Keen, Kelly, Koonce, A.J.

Russell, Scott, Sheek, Shuford, Skeene, Stanlv, Trull, Walser, I. White Wilkins, J. Williams, C.. Williams 4S. So the resolutions were laid on the table. Mr Rayner then moved to take up from the table Mr Sheek's bill providing for an alteration in the constitution. Mr R. stated that his object in calling it up was to otter a bill of his own as a substi lute, and to have it printed alonj with the other bill. , So the bill was taken up, and Mr Rayner offered his substitute, ' which was read for information. This bill provides for calling a conven tion to alter the constitution, it being first submitted to the people of the ftate wheth er they will order a convention to be held or not. Mr Courts stated the difference between the two bills to be, that one effected the alteration by the method provided in our present Constitution, while the other was to effect the same alteration by means of a convention. Mr Rayner said his bill had been offered in good earnest, and he should do his ut most to carry it through, in place of. the other that had been offered. Mr Stanly was in favor of the first way proposed. It was a straight forward way provided by the constitution itself. That bill would settle the matter and stop the agitation of the question. Mr Courts thought the gentleman from Hertford, (Mr Rayner,) rather late in his zeal for equal suffrage. Some of his poli tical associates, if not the gentleman him self, had attacked equal suffrage with a great deal of acrimony during the last summer. He, (Mr Courts. was in favor of it then, when the party to which that gentleman belonged was opposed to it ; and he would find when it came to voting that he was quite as much in earnest as the gentleman from Hertford could be. Mr Rayner said the idea to carry out the change proposed, by the Legislature was preposterous. He wanted it done at once. The other method would take a long time. He desired to prevent its be ing mixed up with party politics. Mr Sheek. said he had introduced his bill in earnest, too, and should endeavor to secure its passage. Mr Rayner's substitute was then ordered to be printed, and the whole bill laid on the table. The House then voted for Comptroller as follows: Collins 60, Clarke 57. Mr Keene, from the committee to su perintend the election of Comptroller, re ported that Mr Collins had 'received 85 votes and Mr Clarke 82 ; the former was declared duly elected The House then proceeded to vote for councillors of state. Mr J. M. Leach put the following gentlemen in nomination : Lewis Bond of Bertie, Joshua Tayloe of tfeautort, IN. 1. Ureene ot Warren, C. L. Payne of Davidson, John Winslow of Cum berland, T. A. Allison of Iredell, and A. L. Erwin of McDowell. And Mr Courts the following gentlemen: J. R. Siler of Macon, Wm. Norfleet of Edgecombe, Josiah O. Watson of Wake, Oliver D. Fitts of Warren, Thomas N. Cameron of Cumberland, George William son of Caswell, and Wm. F- Martin ef Pas quotank. Mr Satterthwaite called up for further consideration the bill amending the laws in reference to fishing in Tar and Pamlico rivers, which elicited some discussion when the bill passed its second reading without amendment. The House then adjourned. to avoid a direct vote on his proposition. He wanted to see senators vote on his amendment directly,' and. to see who was lisposed to disregard the . will of his con stituents, as expressed in August last. Mr Gilmer replied at some length the burden of his remarks appearing to be, to show that a number of the democratic members of the two Houses were here from whig counties and whig districts, and were therefore bound to vote for a whig senator. He took the vote for Taylor as the main test, and argued that senators ought to vote for senator in accordance with the popular will, as announced in November last. Mr Shepard said he did not'rise to min gle in this debate, still less with a view (to use a fashionable phraseology to explain his position. It had been his practice, during a not very short public life, never to defend himself before a tribunal that had no right whatever to arraign him. His sole object was to protest against these resolu tions, as not only mischievous but as high ly derogatory to the character of the sen ate. Who and what are we, sir? are we not a body of men chosen by our fellow citizens, on account of our intelligence and integrity, to transact their public busi ness for them? Is it not then fair to take it foreranted, that every gentleman here, not only knows his duties, but is prepared to perform them? And sir, if he does not perform them properly, to whom is he res ponsible? Not to his fellow Senators, but to his constituents. Why then this fever ish anxiety to dictate to members how they ornrht to vote upon the election of United States' Senator? For himself, he would vote according to the dictates of his own understanding, and he had no doubt he would be sustained by his own district which was one of the most decided Whig communities in North Carolina. There is, Mr Speaker, entirely too much pressure both in and out of the" Legislature on the Senatorial election ; there is not the sligh test doubt that a Whg will be elected, who will express the sentiments of the majority of the people of the North, and in my opin ion it could be satisfactorily done in twen four hours, if there was a little more liber ty of choice extended to us in our Legisla tive capacity. For his part, he deprecat ed all insinuations, either by such resolu tions as those on the table, or through the press, against the course which senators mat think proper to pursue. He would exercise his privilege in this and all other matters, of voting according to his own understanding. The debate was further continued, and in the course of it Mr Rogers said, that as the senator from Guilford had alluded to instructions from the people of Northamp ton, he would take occasion to inform that senator that he was instructed, but not to vote for a Whig senator. During his cam paign he had announced on all occasions lhat he would not vote for Mr Badger, and he had beensenthere with a full knowledge Walser, I. White Wilkins, Nicholson W.

Mr Walser from the committee to super intend the election of United State Sena tor, reported that no one had received a majority of ail the votes, and there was therefore no election. The hour of 1 o'clock having arrived, the House proceeded-to vote for a Judge of the Superior Court. Mr Newsom from the committee appoint ed to superintend the election of Superior Court Judge, reported the loint vote of the two Houses as follows: John W. Ellis 85, Wm. H. Battle 82.

EXCHANGES. Banks ought never to be permitted to deal in exchange ; for they are under a constant temptation to deal unfairly. It is no part of their business : exchanges be long to the merchant. The bank should only discount paper, running to maturity at the place where it is located ; it should act as a deposit bank, and discount only local paper. It has no right to send its funds abroad, and would find no profit in it, if the banks did not first derange the exchanges, and then profit by them. The Bank of England only discounts paper ma turing in London. Merchants buy, and sell exchange j and banks unsurp their pro vince, and drive them from the business. If a merchant, in Charleston, owes money to one in New York, for dry goods imported, and another has a claim on a merchant in New York, for cotton export ed, the debtor merchant here pays his debt to the creditor merchant here, and takes a bill of exchange upon the debtor merchant in New York, which he transmits to his New York creditor, who collects the bill, and tljus both parties are settled with. This is exchange. . The interposition of banks only converts them into brokers, with large capitals, who, in time, monopo lise the whole business, and then demand their own prices They are tempted to create artificial differences in exchange ; and in fact, to make money, they must first cause all the fluctuations, which their com mand ot the exchanges will enable them to effect. Individual merchants have neither means, nor motives, for operations of that sort It was the suspension of specie payments that turned the business of Danks into that channel ; and now they find it too tempting to abandon it. An usurious discount, under the form of an exchange, operation, is submitted to; and an exorbitant interest is often paid under the specious term of exchange." It was this irregularity that choked the exchanges. As long as no man draws a bill, but one who has actual funds abroad, the exchanges will not be clogged ; and any other drafts are altogether unwarrantable! Those who were loudest in their clamors abuut the ex changes, and wanted a Bank of the United States to facilitate them, were those who drew bills, without funds to thaw upon, and paid them by re-drawing so that two men, each without funds, bv drawing on one another, could get possession of mon ey, and keep it, as long as they could find facilities that is the word in a Bank of the United States. Yet evervnne nf tli drafts amounted to a false nrctenrp .- ami this abuse of exchanges, and the desire to perpetuate it, lies at the bottom f all tl, clamor about a Bank of the Unitl where a discount ran h h.i.i endorser, by calling it a bill of exchange. lhe greater canit.il of hanL them the power of mnnnivtliu ness they undertake, and it i th ofeverv rnononolv to m-.U i j ... v. nn. cicaicsi possible profits : hence the well known fact, that men can often sell a bill ofexchan. to whom a discount .... "vv.il wo iciuseu, which is proof, that a bank- mak orwi takes, ajarger profit on exchange than on a Dona nue discount. But if a suspended bank buys exchange and pays in its own PaPerJ !f rece,ves besides the exchange, the difference between specie funds andTts own depreciated. A suspended bank in Charleston, with its notes five per cent below par, discounts a bill for one thousand dollars on New York, where real money is paid ; and the result is, that the mer chant gives specie in New York for depre ciated paper in Charleston, whilst the bank either orders the specie home for sale, or sells it in New York.
