On the postponement jf the pay- meut f) 'JJondt fir Dtiliet. The first suggestions which will be "pslattonar appear proper IH "conse quence of the recent embarrassments of the country, relate to the poslpone- neot-of. the paymcatJ)Lbo0d3,.foc.duJ es. Early in May last, the collection of the revenue from customsbecame much , obstructed through the severe pecuni ardifficuhiea oOhe:tnercaiitile:inter -est." The Treasury Department felt an anxietr-net only, to take steps 'which might increase the security of -'. the Government for eventual payment, 1 but, in an emergency so great, and to . many to unexpected, to furnish all the relief from sacrifices which could judi ciously be extended under: its limited powers, and in anticipation of what .would probably be its straitened con dition in a few months. A postponement of the payment of the bonds falling due was, therefore, and in accordance with the views of 1 the Executive, authorized for periods of from thirty to uinety days, on inter 'est and additional security, and in a manner more liber! than usual, by - permitting it before as well as after uit, in alt cases of embarrassment, ' great hardship, or insolvency. The particular terms, and the rea sons for such postponement, are more fully set forth in the documents annex , d. :' ..: ; a When the diflicslties in discharging bonds in a legal currency became in creased by the suspension of specie - payments in some of the principal ci ties, and the President decided to call " a special session of Congress, the post ' ponemeot was allowed to be extended till after, the commencement of the session, in order that an opportunity . , might be afforded to obtain further re fief by new legislation. Urgent re quests were made for an indiscrimi nate delay of payment on all bonds to ' the fat of January next, and- lor toe "receipt, in discharge of them, cf notes issued by banks not paying specie. It was not deettted proper to comply with these lequests. . But. as long a 'delay awr fiscal situttion justified, and ererr relief as to tire currency which seemed legaf, by the receipt-of debenture certificates and Treasury Jraftsrfor"dtie,:.wi'e-permUted:io. mitigation f the existing embarrass ments. ..----' Having, in this, done allthatasound and liberal exercise of the discretion of he department appeared1 eithier to jus tify or require, no intention exists, uor would it be proper in the present state f . a 1 I aL.i u il n rencies bevond those1 alreadv authori zed, without the express direction of Congress. , Sutne further, fact s ..which. maybe useful to aid its members in cominz to a cor ect conclusion on this subject are, that the amount of bonds which have alreadr been postponed to the 1st of Octobers about 3,500.000 of dol lars, and bv that date will, it is pre sumed, be increased to 4,000,000 of dollars. If Congress permit no longer post ponement, the receipts for the year will probably be increased by the in-du!g--ncies already granted, as they have been allowed, generally, on addi tional security, and always on interest. But as suits and delays in collec tion will ! occur, though to a less extent than in the first stages of the pressure, it is expected that not over two-thirds of the amount postponed before the close of this month can be collected during the current year. The bonds already put. in suit since the midd le of Maya moo nttonearly fll.OOO.OOO. : -But if Congress extend was originally requested by some ol the parties, or'for one year, as recent ly requested by Hie Chamber of Com merce of New York, the receipts for the present year will probably be there- br lessened from four to five millions. intermediate course, as an act not of mere benevoleuce, but of additional relief, which appears reasonable, un der the extraordinary mercantile dis tresses of the tunes, and more safe to the Government, in respect to eventu al collections, it might sanction a de lay not to exceed, altogether, six months beyond the oiig'nal period of payment, in any particular case. It is computed that this would diminish the receipts, during the present year, a bout two and a half millions of dol lars; but if granted on the usual terms, would increase the receipts, nextyear, in a greater proportion, by the interest accruing, as well by the fuller collec tions which would probably be made in a greater number of cases. Ihe opinion ot tne department on these various propositions is, that, con sidering merely our present financial necessities, no further postponement can be regarded as expedient, though in some other respects, as fully detail ed in the recent letter from the Cham ber of Commerce, the last delay men tioned might be found justifiable, and more beneficial. But if a law be pass ed extending credit on the bonds, it is supposed, that, in any correct view of the subject, its provisions need not be continued in force beyond the period when the worst effects of the pressure will be likely to have ceased, and when all imports could, by a further exten TiliiiacuuBij mane: laj autv in laaiie at the time the goods are wanted for im mediate consumption. The extension of that system, is, therefore, respectfully recommended to the consideration of Congress, in connection with the presrnt subject as it might intitidut'a''M'reatran''Tm-' provement in the collection of imposts, as the substitution of cash for credit did in the coljec tion of reyenue jrom, the sales of public lands. It would certainly increase the security, ease, and promptitude of thn operation; would dispense entirely with the trou ble and mfc in the payment jf .debea-; lures: work favorably, to ihe manufac turing interestsi and at the same time, facilitate our trade in foreign articles, as well as exonerate the merchant from many embarrassments in regard to sureties and guarantees. . Obstacle in Ihe way of transfrr- tinx the last instalment of depositee to the Sia:es. Early legislation has likewise be come necessary, either to withhold or postpone, for a reasonable period, the fourth instalment of deposites with the States; or to furnish such aid as may be necessary to complete them in a satisfactory manner. " By the. general suspension of specie payments, and the consequent necessi ty, under the deposite act, to discon tinue most of tho public depositories, the transfers from the banks in the west and south-west to the seaboard, which were accessary to place much of the money in a position te be con veniently lodged with-the-Statesn October, have, in several instances, been defeated. .They had, as in cyje of the former instalments, been order ed seasonably, though, as a general rule, only where rendered proper, in consequence of great accumulation of public funds in an unfavorable situa tion, on account of the course of trade and exchanges, to be paid directly to the respective States. ' But, in the troubled condition of the money mar ket, they had not been injuriously has tened as to the time of payment, and, consequently, falling due in the coarse of the summer and early in autumn, near two-thirds of the whole amount of these funds still on hand have been detained in the west and southwest, where they had so unusually segment- ed from the large sa'es of public lands. Hence, if the last deposite with the States was, in this position of the mo ney, to be attempted, the orders di recting it mast, in manyaies&e made on places remote, and very in convenient to some of the receiving States, on account of the unfavorable balance of trade, or the rates of ex change; and must be met, if at all, in avcurrencr. unacceptable and greatly deprr ciatedJl'ra o sfer. ofportion s of the. July instalment could not, iro the same cause, be effected in the pre cise mode intended, nor from tne banks mast desiraWe. th?"?'' macot it had reached .the appropriate points, to render the operation eay, before the suspension of specie payment. In all cases in which they were not offered to be paid in a currency satis factory to the States, their agents were requested to return the orders of trans fer till Congress could make new and suitaWe provisions on the subject But this request has not always been complied with. About 81,165.575 f that instalment has not yet been re ceipted for by the States to the Trea sury, nor the orders returned. On the contrary, the United States Bank chartered by the State of Pennsylva nia has lately become the purchaser of several of these orders, though not given for any debt, but merely direct ing a transfer from one public deposi tory to another. This institution has leiiianded of the banks on which they are drawn' that payment should be made to her in specier and, on their be protested. Under these circuni stances, and, as the deposites with the States were to be made of what was in the Treasury, and consequently in the banks, on the 1st of January last, it is for Congress to decide whether oweverradontTinl'ayntenl shatHwr made of any of those. orders in a mode and currency differ ent from the rest ot the third instal ment of deposites with the States. Another reason for wilhholding or postponing the October deposites, or for some legal provision to aid in com pleting them, is, that a sum equal to the revenue probably accruing, and a large portion of these deposites, had, before- they - were payable, been ex pressly appropriated by Congress to other objects. When looking to the ra pid decrease in our receipts, to the ex pected deficiency in the course of the year & the great amount of outstanding appropriations which, .at the close of it, will be lelt unpaid, much ot that whole instalment seems likely to be needed at an early day. By either of the first two measures, the money could, according to its original desti nation, be applied to the necessary wants of the General Government, as soon as it can be drawn from the banks in legal funds: In that way, so desi rable ait object would also be accom plished, without the expense and delay of the money being first paid over to the States, and then subjected to an early recall. On the other hand, sev eral of the states might, in the present posture of ihe'ir affairs, experience con- s'ulerable incoavinien.ee. either by. not receiving it, or by soon refunding a L large portion of its amount; and many or the banks which hold it might be a ble more satisfactorily to pay it to the States than to the Treasury. But, though the supject is one of much del icacy and dilliculty, and peculiarly proper for the final action of Congress, it may be expected that this Depart ment should, express some opinion as to which course appears most eligible in the present condition of the finan- ces. It is, therefore, witn deterrence sugsested, that when regarding their condition and the importance of meet ing with efficiency and good faith all theTibligations ol the Government to the public creditors, it would be most judicious to apply the whole instal ment, ?s.fa3t as it, is. wanted and can be. collected to the - prompt discharge of -these obUgaiuuisf-anilUixL the- last deposite with the States, not being.a debt, but a mere temporary disposal of a surplus, should be postponed un til Congress, in some different 6tate of the finances, when such an available surplus may exist, shall see a manifest pmpriety and ability in completing the deposite, and shall give directions to that eJTeet. Consequently no fur ther steps will be taken as to the de posit of any part of that instalment till Congress has had an opportunity to act upon the subject in such man ner ast in the present posture of affairs, its superior wisdom may consider pre ferable.

Mtadny, September IX. 1837, , Tlw Vic President having announc ed it as the order of the day to proceed to the election of a Secretary, the Sen ate proceeded to ballot, when 40 votes were given, of which S9 were in Qvor of Mr. Dickens, and one was a blank. Mr. Dickens was therefore eleeted and sworn in as Secretary. On motion of Mr. GRUNDY, the Senate proceeded to the election of a Chaplain, when, after three ballotings, the Rev. Mr. Slicer received 23 out of 44 votes, and was elected. ' Mr. WRIGHT, from the committee on finance, reported in part, and in favor of a bill to postpone the transfer of the fourth instalment ot the surplus revenue due to the States.

Mr. WEBSTER hoped that what- CTercourseof measore tho friend-of J the administration thought best to a- dopt, it would be adopted with as lit tle delay as possible. The situation of this country wag such as to demand early action. He regretted " that he- could not tiring himself to support this bill, which proposed a remedy alto gether inadequate xo the evil. ' He, however, could do nothing to obstruct ts progress; and he hoped the friends of the administration would be permit ted to carry ouUheir views. He would merely ask lor an opportunity to de liver his sentiments, and would then be willing to leave the whole in the hands of those who possessed the ma jorities in both Houses. Ihe bill was then read and ordered to a second reeding. Several amendments were presented on the subject of the condition of the country, and referred. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House took up for considera tion the following resolution offered on Monday by -Mr.- Biddle of "Penn." - Heiolved, That the Secretary of the Trc rtrry report to this House, "whether ' tetter purportinfr to be addressed by him to the Cterk of the House, oflTerinfr payment in spe cie to Members of Congress, is authentic: if so, to what other claimants on the Treasury, a similar offer hai been made, and what prin ciple of discrimination, if any, has been a dopted in the medium of payment to the public creditors. Mr. Uiddle said when he first saw the let ter of the Secretary in the newspapers, he considered the measure as improper, and, on further reflection, he was convinced that his impression was correct.- If the order Was in tended at a jrnrtuity, it would be Withheld, and withheld from the whole or from a part of the House. It would be granted to some and withheld only from those who were ob noxioU3.it. woaliialio.bo-4franted, to, oc with held from, the Courts of the U. S. It would lure been offered during the pending of the Mandamus case. We would witness the spectacle of a fluctuating compensation of the members, of Congress, and of all other goeMnent.-o fficcri, jiml fluctuating, at the . mler of the Treasury HepartmenC The tf frct of the order would be to enable every member to pay his weekly expences out of the premium which lie received from the brokers in exchange for his gold; and to put by, a a c ear gain, the whole amount of his pay, in riotea of Philadelphia, New Yofk, Boston, or New Orleans. This was a state of things which served at an inducement to member of Congress to avail themselves of every pretext for jlefeatjng the resumption of specie payments. The premium of specie would increase, to the advantage of members of Congress, and the great oppression of the people. The flat a, on (he other hand, had been Compelled to receive their money from the government in paper 12 per cent, below par In such ' a currency too, we paid the hard working laborers on the publie roads, and the widow and orphans on the pension roll. He wished to know the principle on which this offer was made by the Secretary of the Treasury, if it was a matter of grace, he, for one would not accept it. He would not go home to his hard-working and oppressed constituent, and te'l them that we could de. vine nothing for their relief, but, that we had through the complaisance of a high officer of the government, provided well for ourselves, and should soon go back to reap another gol den harvest. Oh no principle of honor, or equity, could such a distinction be made, at any time, in favor of the officers of the gov ernment and the members of Congress. This, indeed, was making an exclusive cur rency. ; ' . . . v Mr. Hamer of Ohio, bad no objection, he said, to the resolution) but he did not eon ider the order of the Secretary of the Trea sury a offering a bribe or a im to Congress, nor did he believe that the Secretary fiered it on that ground. - Mr. McKay would not oppose the resolu tion, but be expressed bis surprise that the gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Biddle.) should have intimated that the mode adopted for paying the member, wat a boon to Con grewc for there was an express law requiring that nothing should be tendered in payment oi public oues, out gotti anci silver, or its e quivalent.

He would not nave wished him to keep it secret, and to apprise (i of-it only through it execution. He said it would be a poor answer to.the de - mahds 6Tftie"State, and of tlie poor laborer and pensioners, to say that the law authorized them to refuse any thing' but pecie. No specie was oiFered to them, and they Were compelled to lake- the depreciated paper or nothing;... Could the pensioners consent to wait and starve, while they demanded specie, which the government would not give them. The reso'ution was then agreed to. The President's message was taken up in Committee of the whole, and its various topics referred to appropriate committees. Mr. Bell oflVrcd the following reso lution, which (the rule being suspend ed foe the purpose) was agreed to. Itetohted That the Secretary i f the Trea irybe directed, with as little delavas possi ble, to communicate to this House the amount of the appropriation of the past and present year, remaining unexpended; the amount re quired to fulfil all existing engagements con tracted prior to the tst day of June last, and all existing engagements contracted since that time; also the amount of moneys drawn from the Treasury and placed in the hands of disbursing officers or agents on the fir&t day of Miy last, and at the present time; and that he also re'p'ort what objects of public ex penditure can, with the -leant injury" to the public service, be whiT!y""di"penst'd with during the present year, or bear any material -revlrietio-- - Mr. Smith of Maine,'said, he wish ed to offer a resolution, with a view to ascertain the sense of the Hnuse in re gard to the continuance of the session and the subjects which should come before Congressc The. President, he 'said, luofTTot recoTffmTiFd''nliarTfiyI subjects should be attended to other than those prescribed in his message. He offered the following resolution: lletolved. That the action of the several landing committees ot this House on all mat ters not embraced by the Message of the President of the United States, to the two Houses of Congress, communicated on the second day of the current session, be sus- I pended until Ihe. commencement ..of-thi- nual session of Congre in December nest, ni.il that the consideration of all petitions mi such. suspended matters be also postponed to the period above specified. Mr. E. Whittlesey contended that it was the duty of Congress, if they sat but six weeks, 10 take tip the general business of the sessioti. : r ' Mr. Lewi Williams moved to postpone the subject till Wednesday, as the House was not. he said, now prepared to act upon it. Mr. Bell was opposed to the postponement, but he felt tome difficulty, as to his opinion on the gentleman's proposition. No oir would doubt that the sulij. cts presented in the message were of sufficient magnitude to engross the whole attention of .Congrrssi ji nd he was anxious to know what would be the course of the administration and its proper organ here what they intended to bring forward. If those gentlemen w wild tell us what course of action they intended to pro pose, he would with less difficulty, deci le upon the resolution, fie .called upon ti e chairman of Ways and M'ans to inform the "ll""" Lwa, w""111 00 "e course propeweu by thai comrhitur"" 'At wiitier to ' It o " a i l a i.L.t . whether they intended to confine themselves to the minor topics of the messag-, or whe ther they would also bring before the House the Sub treasury project. If-tluit ulisort! ! impracticable prnjret, as he deemed it. for the regulation of the revenue, wa the only one to be presented to us, we need not sit here long, hefore we dispose of it. It wou'd not take a long time to act upon that. He would even venture to say that the friemliiof the adminisliatioit wonlti-not dare to urge the adoption of that scheme upon the country. At the same time, he believed it to he in the power of the friends of the administration here to bring forward a modified proposition which would command the serious and f.ivo -able consideration of this Honsev- If it w intended to present any modified project for the relief and the arrest of existing evils, he 1muM th of)fKejwy ;ljirJUt'Ut, iiutil.it, had been duly and attentively considered. He wnuld feel happy if the gentleman from New York (Mr. Cambreleng) would enligh' en us on this subject. In the lormer ca e which he had pot, the session need not con Uiwe .inanyjtecltsi ln-.thejaUejj)LOt'jr.hJ. be. necessary to prolong it. Mr.-Cambreleng said -tile gentlerrrtir rrrrst be perfectly 'Sensible that, in the present sit uation of the committee of waysand means it having been just appointed he could an swer only for himself. . In hi own opinion, they would first report' upon the mi or l pics, in distinct bills; and, when they come to the great question of the mode of k-e.ing the revenue, the House would determine wheth -r to postpone its consideration till the first Monday of December, or to go on with it. In regard to that question, he won'd not now express ah opinion, as it would be pre mature to engage in a debate upon it. Since the proposition to which the gentleman had referred had been presented, he hoped that gentlemen in the opposition would he as bo'A and a frank a -the President of tlie United State had been- The glove had been thrown down to them. Let those who ta'k so much of non-committalism, now tell us what tlrcir plan is; and whether we are not to have the question of the Bank of the United State That question, ir. may be postponed till af ter the Fall election, but to that complexion will they come it last. He hoped tho major ity of the committee of way and mean would unite with him in reporting a bill dis connecting the government from all hank. ; Mr, Bell said, if there wa no disposition on the pail of those who controlled the ac tion of Ihe House, to urge any plan of sub stantial relief, Ihe session need not bo pro ' longed. . Aftrr what had fallen from the Hon. Chairman of Way and Means, he felt it pro per for him to state, that he came here with no favorite project of his own, -for the relief of the country, but to co-operate in any' prac tical plan that might be presented by thoe in power. He had repeatedly atated to h: own constituent, before he left home, that, in his opinion, a Bank of the United States, even if chartered immediately, would not af ford rein f to the country, for one or two year. He had held out no uch delusive prospect. Mr. W"e aaid if the gentleman from New York had really any confidence In his propo sition for the relief of the country! be would hare addressed the. opposition in a different tone, inasmuch as the friend of the Admini- t ration possessed the power to adopt ay measure they pleas d.
