SA ITJRDAY, JULY 7, 1833. (QThe communication under the edito rial head in cur last paper was intended "for the Tarboro' Press," instead of the Primitive Baptist, as erroneously printed. Extract of a Letter to the Editor, dated Washington. June 25th. 1838. Sir: The struggle is over. We had a vote on the Sub-Treasury this evening, and it stood 125 against it, 111 for it. So the Whigs have the majority, by the addition of the little squad of Conservatives about 10 or 12, who are a sort of half way pur gatory'' men, that will neither go with the Democrats nor the Whigs; they will neither serve God nor mammon. They have the power all in their own hands, and they swear they will not go the Sub-Treasury plan to secure the Government good money to pay the people for their labor with, and also solemnly declare they will not vole for a National Hank; so the Democrats or Republicans cannot carry their measure without them, and the Federalists cannot carry their plan of a Middle British Bank. This is the condition in which Congress is at this time placed, the Republicans trying to do some good for the people, the Con servatives preventing them; the Whigs not willing to do any thing, offering no plans of relief, they seem to glory in the distress es of the people, and fay they the people have not suffered enough yet,. that they must suffer three years longer, and then they will be ready to bow to the Dictator King Biddle and his British Bink, and put themselves under themoncved influence of a few capitalists, to be ruled with an iron rod, and driven into measures like sheep to the slaughter house. Take out of Con gress every man that is a bank president, director, stockholder, or debtor, and we can pass the Independent Treasury bill by 25 or 30 votes. I should have said bank attorneys also, for we have a number of them here, voting for banks, who put in their hands thousands yearly. The banks suppose they have gotten the people under their iron grasp, they have combined to break down this Administration, but they will fail, I hope. We will rise on the 9th July, after having done much and left much yet undone. The Army bill, the Harbor bill, the Graduation bill, and a Post Route bill, and many others arc still expected to be acted on, and perhaps some Whig measure of relief. Yours, truly. Mr. Legnrc rose, and said lie felt com-' pelled to call the gentleman from Massa chusetts to order; and ci ies of order were heard in various parts of the House. Mr. Adams called upon the Speaker to reduce the disorderly words to writing, and annealed from the decision of the Chair. TheSpraker said the Chair could not be called upon to reduce remarks out of order to writing. It had never been known, either by any rule, or by parliamentary usage; and if such a course could be sustain ed, it would continually bring the Chaii into conflict with members, and would render it impossible for the House to pro ceed with its business. Several members referred to the twenty third rule of the House, which requires that disorderly words shall be reduced to writing. The Speaker said he was perfectly aware of that rule, and it applied to cages' where one member called another to order for disorderly or personal remarks, and not to the Speaker, when he called a member to order for irrelevant remarks, for the rule says the Speaker shall call members to or der, and makes it imperatively his duty. Mr. Adams called for the reading of the rule by which the Spt aker called him to order, and refused to reduce the objection able remarks to writing. The Speaker reid the rule requiring thai a member "shall confine himself to the question under debate,' and said he had called the gentlem.in from Massachusetts to order for irrelevancy in debate. As he was about to put the question on the ap peal from the decision of the Chair, Mr. Adams again insisted upon having the words reduced to writing. Cries of "order!" "order!" The Speaker directed Mr. Adams to take his seat. Mr. Adams continued to hold the floor. and persisted in demanding that the words snouiu be reduced to writing, and said he would then appeal, but he would not ap peal from the decision in the form in which the Speaker had put it. The Speaker then put the question upon the appeal; and the, decision of the Chair was sustained yeas 115, nays 36 asfol lows : NAYS. Messrs. Adam, Borden, Briggs, William B. Calhoun, Carter, Cor win, Cranston, Cushing, Darlington, Da vies, Evans, Everett. Ewing, . Fletcher. Fillmore, Goode, Grennell, Ilalsted, Hast ings, Henry, Lincoln, Samson Mason.

So the decision of the Chair was sustain ed by thr House, and Mr. Adams thus de clared to be out of order. racy. That the Federalists should act thus is not matter of surprise; but that so many proff sscd Republicans should be thus be guiled, under the specious name of Whigs, to aid and assist them, is indeed matter of special wonder and deep regret. State Nominations, Of the state no initiations for the Presidency, Pennsylva nia, Ohio, Indiana, and Vermont, with 67 electoral votes, have nominated Gen. Har. .1 ivi: ...ill. ci nson; luassacnuseus auu muiuu, wuu t votes, nominated Webster; and Kentucky, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Louisiana, with 33 votes, nominated lur. Clay. CONGRESS.- The Senate on the 2Gth concurred, with out a division, in the Resolution of the House, fixing on Monday the 9th of July, for the adjournment of Congress. On the 30th ult. Mr. Wright, from the Committee on Finance, offered a proposi tion relieving the banks from the disabili ties incurred by issuing, notes of lower de nominations than five dollars, repealing sundry sections of the deposite law of 1S36, and placing the Treasury upon the basis of the law of 17S9, and making its connec tion with the banks depend upon Mr. Web ster's resolution of ISIS. It passed to a third reading by a majority of five. In the House, the otc by States on the rejection of the Sub-Treasury bill was as follows ; Against the Bill. Maine 3 New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut Vermont Mew York Mew Jersey Pennsylvania Delaware Maryland Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Kentucky Tennessee Ohio Louisiana Indiana Mississippi Illinois Alaba ma Missouri Hon. Edw. Stanly. We have not par ticularly registered the votes of the Repre sentative in Congress from this uNtrict, du ring the present session of Congress, be cause we conceived it to be unnecessary he was elected to oppose the measures of the Democratic party, and we believe on every question involving principle, he has been invariably true to his vocation. But we took the liberty to express our dissent from his views on the Duelling question, and we now reluctantly feel compelled to notice another vote, hich we believe even the Whigs in the district will scarcely ven ture to approve. It seems that Mr. Stan ly, in his profound admiration of the "vast acquirements and boundless information" of Mr. J. Q. Adams, has been so far for getful of the imminent danger that threat ens the "peculiar institutions" of the South, as to countenance him in his fanati cal Abolition attempts to overturn those institutions. On this question, happily for the South, Mr. Stanly enjoys the unenvia ble distinction of separating not only from the Whig members from this State, but from the entire Southern delegation. WTe copy from the Globe the following statement of this extraordinary proceedure, which took place on the 23d ult. omitting the yeas: Mr. Adams proceeded in his remarks on a -reprt of lhe Committee on Foreign Affairs, in relation to the annexation of Texas; and was referring to the right of s aves to petition, and the proceedings in the House last Congress upon his tendering a petition of that character, stating that he should have no hesitation in presenting a petition from a slave, if his m!.moria, was properly couched, and on a proper subject .or something to this effect. Mr a as proceeding in this line of remark, when The Speaker called him to order sav ingthat the remarks were irrelevant to the subject under consideration. Mr. Adams said he was putting an ex trcmecase, by way of illustration, which was m order. tPl? SPeaker -aSin reminded Mr. A that he was out of order. Fourth of July. The occasional roar of cannon was the only circumstance that occurred in this place, to note the arrival and departure cf this auspicious day. Crops. The farmers in this vicinity arc harvesting their wheat, and we regret to say that it generally falls far short of their expectations. The corn and cotton, how ever, are last recovering from their promising condition.

Un Mon day evening, the Kxerciscs opened with public declamations by Speakers selected from the Freshman class. On Tuesday evening, there were declamations from the Sophomore Class. Un Wednesday, an Address was delivered before the Literary Societies by Hon. William B. Shep3rd, of Elizabeth City. The subject of the Ad dress was the importance of the Dead Lan guages as a branch of liberal Education, and it is but just to remark, that the. subject was ably discussed. The style of the Ad dress was elegant, the expressions forcible, and it was evident that the writer was fa miliar with the authors which he recom mended, and had drunk abundantly at the fountains of Arclhusa. On Wednesday evening, an Address was delivered before the Alumni of the Institution, by Charles Manly, Esq. This Address, beside con taining an allusion to historical acts in rela tion to the Institution and the two Socie ties, was replete with good sentiments, connected with some of the peculiar pre vailing traits of . our country, and with ex cellent advice to the members, and to those who were about to leave the Seminary. On Wednesday evening, at candle lighting, declamations were heard from the Repre sentatives of the two Literary Societies. In these were evinced talents for speaking and writing, honorable to the Societies and their Representatives. O.i TnursJay, the appropriate Exercises of Commencement Day were attended. At the close of the Speaking, the Report of the Faculty was read, which exhibited an uncommonly prosperous state of the In stitution. The follovvingyoung gentlemen were then admitted to the degree of A. B. viz: Hasell W. Burgwyn, Charles J. F. Craddoc, Green M. Culhbert, George R. Davis, Joseph W. Evans, Needham W. I Icriing, Bcnj.

The was such as to do un- Biennial Sessions.VuhMc attention has been directed by several of the news papers to the biennial sessions of the Lpgis lature of this Slate, and opinions solicited in regard to a change again to annual ses sions. We are of opinion, that bienni al sessions are all-sufficient for everv ben eficial purpose; and so far as we can learn, that is the prevailing opinion in this sec lion. However, this matter can be easily and satisfactorily tested let the voters at the ensuing election endorse on their tick ets "annual," or "biennial," and then the Legislature can act understanding on the subject. It is a question of some moment, and in the present deranged state of our finances should be maturely considered. CJWe learn from the Raleigh Stand ard, that a Democratic Republican meeting was held at the house of Mr. John McCul lers, in Wake county, on the 30th ult. at which the Hon. John Branch, was nomi nated as a candidate for Governor, and a committee appointed to correspond with him, and ask his assent to run at the ap. proaching election. The Sub-Treasury bill.We invite at tention to the remarks of Mr. Cambreleng on the Independent Treasury bill, which? a.cueu in our last, was rejected in the House of Representatives by a vote of 125 to 111 the delegation from this State vo ting as follows: Yeas Messrs. Bynum, Connor, Hawkins, McKay, Montgomery, and Sawyer; Nays Messrs. Deberry, Graham, Rencher, A. H. Shepherd, C. Shepard, STANLY and Williams. As was the case when the Specie Circular was repealed, the Opposition arc still dissatis fied, and doubtless will continue so until another National Bank is established, and the funds and credit of the Government placed at the disposal of the Bank Aristoc- ol -aves 21, nays 205. Messrs. Hawkins and Montgomery were the only members from this Slate, that voted fur "the reconsideration. stitution. lucre was a manliness of thought, and a propriety of diction in the composition indicating much strength of mind and high intellectual culture. The state of lhe University was perhaps Washington Monument. By a,. menl rendered to the U. S. Senate bvtip Board of Managers of the Wr.sl.ing'ton tional Monument Society, it appears thj the collections made by the agenlsof Society amount only to the pitiful su:n of 523,576 S7 cents; of which amount, Vir! giuia has contributed only 51,500. ' Banks Speculating in Produce.- late London papers express great astonish, ment that the "United States BankofP.in. sylvania" should have departed from t legitimate sphere ot Banking, and becoass a spjculitor in Cotton. It aUo aomi that the Bank of England decidedly ces-, sures the transaction to such a degree, b dced,Q3to decline opening an account w& Mr. Biddle's agent in London.
