Extra Settion. Petitions are getting up in different parts of this State, asking an extra cession of the Legislature, to recontider the proposition to establish a Bank. It appears to us, that if a Dill be passed on
the terms proposed, it would like the Indian's gun cot t more than it would amount to! We would like to ice a State Bank and Branches established we are lensible that the interest of the State demands the measure but that it is of such immediate importance as to require a called session of the legislature, we do not believe. The object of such an institution being mainly to supply the vacuum that a withdrawal of the paper of the Bank of the United States will create, the interest of the community cannot suffer very materially antecedent to the ensuing session of the Legis-
lature in course, u is merenre nopea tnai eacn individual will duly consider the consequences of such a petition before he loans it the sanction of his name. We have published a list of the Acts and Resolutions passed at the late session of Congress, in to-day's paper. The news under our foreign head is full of interest; read for yourself. Land Bill.' As yet we have not been able, from any thing thit has reached us from Washington City,
to form an opinion respecting the retention of this Bill by the President, except what we find in the Circular of Hon. Jobit Tipton, which is inserted in the Inqui
rer. From it, we discover that the bill passed on Fri day night, and Congress adjourned on Saturday morning, leaving no tune for action by the President.
No important news has reached us from the South:, since the publication of our last. The malcontents ap
pear to be more quiet of late. It is said however, the late Tariff Bill is quite unsatisfactory. Perhaps there
are but few grumblers time will prove.
The Message of the President of the United States of America, to Congress, is a document which will be
read by the friends of freedom, with more interest and satisfaction than were derived by honest minds from
all the "Royal" speeches upon record. The ardent
friends ol monarchy prophecy a rupture betwixt the
northern ana southern states. e do not apprehend any such event unless General Jackson should be superseded in his office, before he can modify or abolish
the Tariff, to which he was never friendly, and of
wmca b is now aeanuy urea. London Courier.
Washington Citv, March 2, 1S33. Sin:
The present Session of Congress closes this
aay, ana aitnougn out lew ol the subjects introduced have been finally acted upon, I flatter myself that much good has been done for the country. Before the meeting of Congress, that extraordinary excitement in South Carolina, called Nul-
lunauvii, imu rpiett v 10 an aiarming extent, pervading all classes, arraying brother against bro
ther, and threatening to visit that State with civil war, between the contending parties. The Nullifiers and Union men, nearly equal in numbers, and not very unequal in talent and respectability, each pressing their principles with zeal and rancor; the former having a majority in the Legislature, were enabled to pass laws to prevent the collection of the Revenue, in South Carolina, and were threatening to obstruct or nullify the laws of the United States. Thus, by an Ordinance and the legislation of a bare majority of a single State, have these infatuated people disturbed the public peace and destroyed the confidence of a portion of the people of South Carolina, in the Government of the United
States, which protects their lives, their liberties,
ana tneir property. The South Carolina question was brought before Congress by an Executive Message,in January, and a bill was reported by the Judiciary Committee which elicited able debates on both sides of the question, and finally became a law empowering the President to enforce the collection of the Revenue. The debates on this question have been published; they should, as I have no doubt they will, be read with much interest, and will fully explain this controversy. The above law was deemed necessary, owing to the offensive attitude assumed by a majority of the State of South Carolina; and it is believed that, admonished by the prompt action of Congress, the firm course pursued by the President, and the conciliatory temper of his Message, at the
opening of the Session, and his Proclamation of
we IUth of December last, the State of South Carolina will return to her duty, and yield obedience to the laws of the Union. The measures of the administration, in relation to the disturbance in the South have met almost universal approbation, (except in the districts already excited beyond what is generally known or believed in the West,) and have had the most salutary effect in uniting men of all parties under the banner of the Union and the Constitution; and it is no small gratification to the fnends of the President, to find that patriots and statesmen of all political parties unite in sustainng them. I have no doubt but that this dangerous excitement, will pass into oblivion with-
Being the cause of shedding one drop of
American blood. An act has also been passed to reduce and jnodify the Tariff. This measure was supported g men of all parties with a hope of quieting the juthern Nullifies. In agreeing to it, the worth and West yielded much for peace, and Jj permanency of our free institutions, and it Jul be frratiying to every patriot if the expectation of its friends shall be realized.

It was not known here until about the close of

Our able negotiators abroad have obtained full indemnity for spoliations committed on the property of our citizens for many years gone by. Our commerce covers every sea, protected from piracy by our tars, and we have peace with all the world. Your obedient servant, JOHN TIPTON.

era during the last season, and the consequent
derangement and diminution of business of the Canals, the tolls on the Erie Canal are only less by $6,101 93 than they were the preceding
year: and on the Champlain Canal there is an increase of $7,205 72: so that thore is an increase over the year 1831, of $1,193 74. There is an increase on the Oswego Canal of 3,515

Eastern Lav:. There is a law in Vermont, by which a miller is subjected to a penalty for refusing to grind when called upon so to do. II. J. Robinson having come to the conclusion that he could not conscientiously, grind grain for the purpose of distillation, refused to doit, was prosecuted and fined. He applied to the Legislature for relief, and that body, at their last session, fassed a law for his relief, and gave to all milers the right of refusing to grind grain to be used in the manufacture of distilled spirits.

than the introduction of fine blooded horses into our
country. As the procuring of these Horses from a distance, has been accompanied with some risk and expense, it is confidently expected that the good judgment and liberality of those who wish to rear saleable and valuable stock, will prompt them to award a suffi
cient remuneration for their introduction.
