Monday, April 25. In the Senate, nothing of importance transpired. There was a debate on the bill concerning claims under the Dancing Rab t.it creek treaty, which was recommitted. ' "Tlie bill" to extend further remedial jus- j lice in the Courts of the U. S. was read, a first time. In the House, Mr. Stanly presented a bill which, he desired to have passed, restricting foreign vessels from the transportation of letters and passeneers coastwise. On motion of Mr. Morgan, the Commit tee of the Whole was discharged from the further consideration of this bill; and up on the question of its third reading, a brief debate sprang. Up, in which Messrs. Proffit, Rhclt, Cooper, and Gordon, ofN. York, opposed, and Messrs. Fillmore and Cush ion ably sustained, the principles of ihe. bill, which however, was postponed for final ac tion until.Friday next. The Apportionment Bill was discussed in Committee 'till the adjournment. Tuttday, April 26. I. v the Senate, after some lime spent in receiving reports, the bill for extending the remedi.it justice in the Courts of the U. S. was taken up. Some amendmen Is were a dopted, when it was posponed till Friday. In the House, the Apportionment bill was the main topic under consideration. Two motions were pending-y-one submit ted Mr. Atherton of New Hampshire, to reduce the ratio from the 60,500 before a greed nporvin Committee, to 53,070. Mr. Briggs moved an amendment to the motion of Mr. Aiherton, the effect of which was to reduce the ratio from 53,670 to 50, 179. The amendment of Mr. Briggs was carried by the strong vote of 08 to 59 83 mcmbeis, however, being absent. The New York and Pennsylvania delegations being divided, the motion prevailed with little dif ficulty. The whole number of representa tives under this ration will be 305. Mr. Halstcad moved an mendment that the Slate Legislatures should be required to District the States and in no case to elect representatives by general ticket. This is a proposition of great interest and aome nov elty, as proposing a principle which has nev er before been acted upon by Congress. It is desirable, certainly, that the mode of e leetien should be unitnform in all the Stales. Whether Congress has the right to prescribe that mode (unless in cage of Suites refusing to piovide any mode of election) is a ques tion -mooted in the debate. Pending this motion the House, adjour ned. Wednesday, April VI. In the Senate, the Appropriation Bill was reported from the Committco with some a inendments. Mr. AiLn moved to take up hia resolution lelative to the Rhode Island controversy negatived, 18 to 20. The remainder of the dav was spent on private bills. Intho House, the Apportionment Bill was debated no vote being had upon iu Thurtday, April 28. The Senate was nearly the whole day engaged in the consideration of the amend- the Appropriation b were adopted, " bribe -House,- Mr. Stinly, -from the Committee on Public Expendi ures, asked leave at this lime to make a report No objection being made Mr. Stanly, from the said committee, sub mitted the.loilowing report: The Commutes oti Public Expenditures respectfully submit to the House a re port mado by the Hon. George Poindexter lo the Secretary of ihe Treasury. Mr. Poin dexter was one of the commissioners ap pointed by the Piesident on the lOth ot Slay, 1841, to examine into the affairs of the Custom-house iu the city of New York. The committee being apprized that the expenditures at the custom-house, in the city of New York, had increased very greatly for several years past, felt bonnoTo become acquainted with the nature and character of these expenditures, that the guilty might be exposed and punished, and like abuses cor reeled for the future. As, however, the time allowed to the committee for such an ... . - . :-" n:..:. u investigation was not sufficient to enable them to attempt the investigation wilh any probability or success, unless tney naa aoan dorttd the sit lings of the House, and as they had been infoimed of l!e nature of the du ties d die commissioners, they. concluded it would be mote satisfactory to the House to wail the teport of the commissioners. On the 9th day of Febuary last the House of Representatives adopted . a resolution re ported from the Committee on Public Ex penditure, requesting the Secretary of the Tieasury to send copy of the report of the commissioners. No answer to thai resolu- lion has yet beeen received. Some days since the committee called on the Secretary of ihe Treasury to know when they would receive.an answer to the resolution referred , , - . . , . . date of that resolution would be sent. Some days elapsed and no answer came. Another letter was addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, and to th:s, after waiting another day, the committee received no answer. The committee knoiring the general desire to be made acquainted with the proceedings of the commissioners, and believing that it was due not only to the House of Representa tives hut to the American People that abuse should lie exposed, and feeling anxious that , measures might be taken during the present session to prevent the recurrence of the de grading enormities practised at the custom house, determined to call on Mr. Poindextcr, one of the commissioners, and to submit the result or his labors to the consideration of the House. This report is herewith submitted. The committee earnestly and respectfully invite the attention of the House to its details. 1t is believed tbat thewrckedwe 'f-pWie officers here exposed is unparalled in the history of any civilized Government; ami public interest the interest of the injured and unjustly oppressed citizens and above nil, public honor, imperiously demand a remedy at tho hands of the Representatives of the People. The report was laid on the tabic and or- dcied to be printed. Mr. Stanly said he intended to move the printing of the same number of extra copies as had been printed of the Swart wont report five thousand with the accompanying doc uments, he believed, and twenty thousand without. Mr.- Weller objected. The Speaker said the motion would be entered on the Jotfrnal. Mr. Stanly said that was all he desired at this time Th" motion was entered accordingly. The House then took up, in committee of the whole, the amendment to the apportion ment bill, submitted by Mr. Hals ted from the Committee on Elections, requiring each Stale, by its Legislature, to be laid off into as many district! as she is entitled to repre sentatives, and that each district shall elect its own representative. A long debate en sued, ami finally the committee rose without ariving at any decision. THE ST A It. Libtrtus el natale tolum. RALEIGH, MAY 4, 1842. J-'oi Governor of A'orth Carolina, JOHN M.

J he uank ol the Mate ol iMortn uaroiina and the Bank of Cape Fear resumed specie payments on Monday last; and we hope they will never suspend again. Here Is an ex ample for the Banks of Virginia. Let them "do likewise." Their notes have long been, in value, below those of our Banks; and now they will sink much lower: and not only the institutions from whence they were issued. but the Commonwealth itself, will be more and more degraded and dishonored. THE RHODE ISLAND EXCITEMENT In Rhode Island the cloud becomes more and more lowering. At ibe latest dates, the free suffrage paity were marching their armed forces about the city of Providence, distnbaung arms, and making ready to "let slip the dogs of war." A call had been made for a meeting at Tamma ny Hall, New York, for the purpose of aiding then in eatablinhing their constitution, in con sequence of which the Governor of Rhode Island met on rne ihb'ulHmriP" -"fswsv Hia message to that body, liich was referred to a cornmrtiee or two frond each tountyrsug-" gests the propriety of making a requisition upon the President or the U.

The next day the committee reported a aeriea of resolutions authoriaing the. Governor Jto take enh steps as he might deem expedient in order lo protert or remove the property of the State, and also to employ and pay volunteer compa nies of troops. Also, that a Board of Counsel lors fur Ibe Governor be appointed; which they thought waa all that waa then necessary, as the Legislature wmitd meef in regular eeesiop the next week. The resolutions, (called "standing army reeolutions" by the Chronicle) were laid on the table until Wednesday, the 87tb ! , , , -u- A bill was introduced lor holding another Convention, extending materially the right of aaffrage, wbich jae sifieerely trnat, may lead to as amicable sdj'ustment of the difficulty.

It will be seen by a reference to the proceed ings r f the House of Representative of the 29th, that the report of the Commissioners appointed to investigate the concern of the New York Custom House, which report waa drawn up by Mr. Potntdexter, has finally been brought out to public view. The people are indebted for thia to thu. lynx-eyed vigilance and untiring perse verance of the fearless and patriotic representa tive of the Washington District, Mr. Stanlt. The National Intvlligencer eay,."we have bad no opportunity to examine its contents, but those who hvejiad time to do so, pronounce it to be a startling development of abuses, whit h bare grown up (and soma of which have grown old) with the Custom House Establishment. Mr. Stanly remaiks, with regard tort, -hit believed that ihe wicked uess of. public, officeri .h,?re fx pntd is unparalleled in the history of any civ ilized Government; und public interest Ihe in terest of the injured aud unjustly oppressed cit izensand above all, public honor, imperiously demand a re-nedy at Ihe bauds of the Represen tatives of the people." It i proper to state that the Marfioonian re ceived since the above was in type, says that the report of the other two commissioner, Messrs. Stewart and Kelly, has been in the hands of the Posident four months,. and that be has held it waiting for that of Mr. Poindexter; that both might be submitted to Congress at once, ill now intimated that "nir. I'oindexier a report presents a prejudiced and ex parte view of many circumstances," which is corrected by the report of the other commissioners. DISTRICT SYSTEM. The . proposition now before the House of Representatives, to require the States to be laid off into districts, by their respective Legisla tures, and the people in each district to vote for but one Representative (or Congress, is undergo ing an animated debate in that House, and ex citing much interest at Washington. The advocates of the measure contend that Congress has the power under the clause of tho Constitution, Whieh declares that "the times, places, and manner oT holding elections for Sen ators and Representatives shall be pscscribed in each Slate by the Legislature thereof; hut the Congress may at any time by law make or al ter such regulations, except aa to the placea of choosing Senators;" and to make the mode of conducting elections in the different Stsles equal and uniform, which is not now the case, they further contend that the time has arrived when it is proper for Congress to exercise this pow er. The opposcrs of the proposition contend thai it would be an infringement upan the righta of the States, and that they would not now, after having been ao long suffered to regulate the mat ter themselves, submit to it. " Some of them, however, admit that aa an extreme right, -Congress possesses the power to district all the Slates. We are in favor of the ditlriet system, as the only just and proper method' by which the in terests and opiniona of the people can he fully and fairly represented; and we also think it clear that the Constitution grants to Congress the whole power over the subject. But we are not prepared to say they should now exer cise thi power proposed, though there are aome cogent reasons given in its favor. " LACONIC.

WE HOLD THE LOCOS KESPONSIULE For the disordered slate of the currency, and the ruin and distress consequent thereon w hich overspreadihe land. ' This is shown by the fol lowing UNDENIABLE FACTS: In 1830 there were in the U. Slates 330 baoks, with an aggregate capital of $145,000,000, (in round numbers.) In 1832, the Uank bill was ve toed, and in 1833, the deposites were removed. In 1835, the number of banks had inert aet to 558, with an aggregate capital of $.131,000,000; and in December, 1637, they had still farther augmented to 709 in number, with an aggregate capital of $ 140,000,000. Now, who did it The Whigs are called the Bank party the paper money party. And yet it turns out that five States, which were then under Loco Focn con trol, to wit, Miine, Pennsylvania, Alabama. Mississippi and Missouii, during the period of seven years, increased their number of Banks iVnm .ifi m i Q9 nA ihoir ,,..,. i f,nm i !84 millions to 134 J millions of dollars, being 1 an addition of apward. of $105,000,000 to the I ,. . , ,, , , ,,' Banking capital of the countrr-nearlyone-half of the whole increase of banking capital in the i union during that period: wny, rrttie other States had imitated these Loen Foeo .Inti Bank folkt, the inercated banking capital would not have been less, in that period, than five hundred millions of dollars!! Let not the Loco focos, then, have the impu dence to attribute lo whig paternity, their mis eiably corrupt, sickly and dying offspring! The whigs are in favor of a moderate and well regulated banking system; not of a system of flooding the country with irredeemable bank rags. NEGOTIATION WITH THE ENGLISH MINISTER. The Madisonian says: We know nothing of the progress of the ne gotiation between the Secretary of Slate and Lord Ashbuiton, but from the uncommonly fre- 3uent meetings of the Cabinet, of late, and the aily conversations which we udersland to take place between the negotiators, we presume the psrtiesare not idle. In the mean time, we see, with great pleasure the manifestation of a dis position in the Senate lo adopt a measure, alrea dy recommended to Congress by the President, which ahall make suitable Constitutional pro visions for such cases aa that of McLeod. If we are to have war upon the probability of which we express no opinion, and bave no means ef forming one let us have it on some matter of real national interest. Lot not the McLeod s, and the Hogans, and the Thellers, have power to set the two leading Governments in the world, at loggerheads. On this point, we agree with Mr. Adams. If we have war, let it be on aome question of clear right, on our aide, and then let us fight it out. Was Stcambrs.

We have received several numbers of a very neat and spirited daily newspaper, bearing the above title, published iu the City of Boston by an association of practical printers, at t3 per annum.

Whig contradict the statement, made some days-since, on author. ity or the Monongalia Republican, that the deputy sheriffs of Harrison had : resigned their offices, and that the people in one sec tion of, that county hsd determined in public meeting to resist, by force of arms, the legal collection of debt. The Whig says The people of Harrison county fcre as able and willing as any people in the State to pay their debts. No meeting at the kind was ever held in the county the laws are regu larly executed and although the people aie smarting under tie mal-almiriistration of the Loco Focos, they aubniil patiently, iu ihe hope of better times."

It is rumored with confidence, says the rhila'lelphin Ledger, that the iiitlicitltics betwetn litis country and England will be arranged and finally settled amicably.

I he special mes-1 sengers anived in the steamer, were i harced it is staled, wilh the outlines of the nego tiation for confirmation by this government. The results arrived at by Lord Aberdeen :wd Mr. Everett .were hastened by a cunctir rence of events. The state of iil'.iirs in the East rendered it imperative upon the Eng lish Government to remote, without delay, all cause of disquiet in this country, and the mission of Lord Aahburton naturally prompt ed Mr. Everett to be active, in orler not to have the business taken out of his hands. Lrd Ashburton's visit, it is said, was nev er meant to result in any practical pettlc ment. These reports, if ture, are of the highest importance to ihe tountiy. To them is ascribed the recent advance in stocks and other pi ices. RII0DE1SLANIJ.

We learn from the Courier and Enquirer that Gen.

It is added that in a very few days there will be mounted at the Narrows, and on Governor's and Ellis' Islands, upwards of four huudreil pieces of heavy Ordnance, consisting of 24's, 32's and 42's. The works on Uedlow's Island (Fort Wood) are undergoing a thorough repair. It is noted by the Pennsvlvanian that the mortality among thc members of the Penn sylvania delegation in Congress, has been unusually great within a year or two past.

Editor: Permit me, Ibrongh your columns, lo ad dress mvself to the Whigs of North Carolina, and to urge upon then the necessity of vigilance and untiring devotion to the cause of truth and libertv. In everv creat enterprise, whether moral or political, concerted action is absolutely necessary to insure success. Our numbers may be treat, but if thev are not properly trained and marshalled for the conflict, discomfiture and de feat must inevitably follow. The presence of an experienced General may inspire ua with new Courage, but cannot supply the want of toil and skill which a previous training alone can give. Every one, however circumscribed his sphere of action, is responsible in proportion lo me in flue nee he wields. Let no one underrate his in fluence, bat with a patriotic devotion So the cood of hia country contribute hia mite to ad vance its interest and prosperity. No one is so humble but he has an influence with some con fiding friend who is sltached lo the opposite par ty, or ia wavering in his devotion to the Whig cause. .

If by culpable negligence we permit the principles of the Whig parly to be defeated, corruption will resume its away, ano the bright hopes which the people bad formed from the elevation of General Harrison p the Presidancv will be blasted forever. The treachery of a single man, aided by a few two inch" politicians, 4hould not throw a shadow of gloom over our path. Their little minds, goaded yisappoinUnewV-fortonately for the coontrr, can mature no dangerous plans Iheir oigmv arma cannot feller the gisnl freedom. This diaappoinmenl should rather simulate as to renewed exertion, that we may redeem Ihe pledges of reform and relief made to the people. The Wh'g members of Congress have manifest ed the greatest anxiety to relieve the distresses of the country to carry out the measures lo which they pledged themselves doting the Pre sidential eanvass, bat they nave oeen cnecxto bv the exercise of the Veto a power or dan gerous tendency which most of the President have used with the utmost caution. Mr. Tyler, however, wielda It as if it were the least appen dage to hia office. The W higs then are not responsible to the eountry for Ihe mismanage ment and misrule of the present Administration, eseept ao far as they' had an agency in elevating bimlothe Presidnney; a sin which they con fess, sod for which they feel the most heartfelt re pea lance. We disavow all further political con aecUoti with him and bis "Corporal's Guard, who wilh vanity and presumption, only equalled bv that of Charles the tenth, think that with a do ten followers tbsy eanstorsa the country, and lead the people captive at will.

To remedy ihse evils, should be our constant aiml and to effect this desirahle end, we mutt nol fold our arms and vainly call upon Hercules to aa- I ait us; but must put our shoulders to the wheel and puah bravely iorwanl. A urn this general gloom, however, there is a ray of, hope lo chet r na onwaid. There is a master spirit among us whose patriotic mird soars far above ihe petty political strife of the day whore every wish is his country's good. The eyes of the country are turned towards liim.
