The Treasurer reported that he had not the B nids, and therefore could not give the names. The Resolution was then re-cori-sidered and laid on the table. The whigs" had, during the el-ct oneering canvass published the fct where if was known that Democrats had borrowed ol this fund, and greatly exagg rated the cae; but when they had the power to mete out even handed justice, they faltered, because justice would not suit their purpo ses of deception and humbug.

U.I" iL 1 I IV-1 I UUIl i iixuuivviMip falsehoods by their o.vn Legislative acts. Hat. Standard. Thomas Lir'nr. Esa.. Editor of th Vtnn'liird Wc call uoon vou. at the re nitofmauv subscriber, to publish ihe ict pvssc 1 by the late Whig Legislature, which empowers the Governor to appoint an a sent to collect the Cherokee Bonds We h .i n the Bonds amount to 5300,000; h'tthe act allows the agent a commission uf 3 per cen', which would give a salary of 39.000! ! If this be tru ?, it out- Herod's Herod!!! It would bo the largest salary in il. e U.iitel S ales, save the President's, that we can e dl to mind. It increases the p 'tro-Kue an I p over of the executive, by establishing a Sub Treasury Department of 'heSt-tegov rnni' ti', and conferring ti c po.ver o aho Governor, of appointing the sd)Tiea-uiM and repots a dangerous discretion in the officer, for purposes, no doubt nfclcrioncf ring and corruption. The Treasurer an I Literary Board have heretofore, and can always manage such a fund, an l thus we would sve this enor mous sal ')', and prevent a d ingerous in novation upon our old republican u?ag:s. What isthcie. to lo in il. bui either to re ceivethe money ioto ihe Treasury, or sue the debtors in WaUe Superior Court, un der ihe very nose of the Treasur. r? We want also to knovv why the names of the debtors to the Boards o: Internal Improvement, and Literary Fund, were not published. .We want to see f'te ac tion of the Legislature and its progress on this subject. You touched upon it in your last paper; can you not probe it to the bottom? Depend upon it there is some thing at the bottom which our federal ft iends are afraid to let sec the light. AIo whether the Legislature through their committee, made an actual, personal examination into the condition of our Banks. We know the committee pro pounded cettain questions on paper to them, and their Presidents answeied in the sat e way, biit that is not the thing. Paper statements will not do; they can make every thing look vtry fair on paper; ve want a bona fide exam inai ion of their books by a committee. This is the very fault of the Bank of the United Staters: Congress appointed a committee to exam ine into their afTuts, and they did examine in part, but w hen they came to certain books, the Bank refused, and said they had no right In pry into private a'airs We would like to know, too, whether our Legislature took any action on the sub ject of abolition, to which it was invited by the government of Virginia; especially the controversy between that Stale and New York. In fine, many of our democratic friends ate looking up to you, because of your su perior opportunities in Raleigh, to expose to drag to light, the wholesale and shameful extravagance of the last Whig Legislature its proscription, and corrupt abuse of the spoils of office its omission ol duty its ignorance and blunders, and the bold usurpations of the late Whig govern or.

In out Congressional proceedings of last week, we reported Dr. Duncan, as having called Mr. Johnson, "abase liar, a contemptible puppy, a scoundrel, and an infamous cow ard," in consequence of Mr. Johnson's having been reported in the Intelligencer, inquiring of the chair, while Dr. Duncm was speaking on a former occasion, wheth er 'itwas in order for an individual to charge Gen. Harrison with cowardice, who had himself been branded as a coward on this floor?" Dr. Duncan asserted that no such language had been used by Mr. Johnson, and the chairman, and a gentle man who sat near Mr. Johnson, said the same. Mr. Johnson affirmed lha; be did use the language as reported in tSic I utei 1 i gencer. Dr. Duncan in the course of his remarks applied the above epithets to Mr. Johnson, as reported in the Globe. Next morning Mr. Johnson denies tint Dr. Dun can used any such language as was reported in the Globe, and produced a letter from the Reporter, spying that Dr. Duncan re vised his remarks, before they went to press; but this letter was from the repor ter, in justice to himself. Dr. Duncan sud he did use the language reported in the Globp, and supported his assertion by se- veral witnesses, and he then reiterated, it ! to tne gentleman s iace. lie icpeaieu iuai housed every word of the language, and that he would publish it and put his name to it.
