here suitable payments upon tliem do not provide fumls to kep up an active and healthy circulation of the paper. Much of the busi less of the banks is necessarily of a. character which the directors will neither have leisure nor disposition to explain to every curious enquirer. It is not in their power to accom

modate many, who come with fair claims and pood security, and they arc often beset by others who are clamorous just in proportion to their want of merit. That mm" fVould be dissatisfied with their decisions, and having only partial views of their motives, should mistake them, is perhaps unavoidable. For the allowances usually made for the infirmities of their rature, those who manage banks may lay claim. Hut they neither asK nor expect any thin": further. They constitute a portion of a community regulated by public opinion, and to thai they will submit without a murmur. The semi-annual examination of the branches, required by the charter, have been regularly made. ' Where ever improper proceedings had occurreJ, they have been disapproved by tho parent board, but in general much has been fou:id to approve and litths lo condemn. The bank as yet has commenced but few suits, and it is understood that no sales on execution have ever been made on its account. 0 For months past, there have been louj complaints of pressure, scarcity of money, and the difficulties of the limes. Many of the products of the country have fallen considerably in value, while tbe prices of some articles are still high in propoition to others. !Sut these matters soon regulate themselves, though when a change is una voidable, if it be made early ami amicably, there need be no interruption in the progress of business, especially in a country like this. Those who accommodate themselves to the times, w ill not find them so bad, that they cannot make good out of them. The labor and rents of a country thould be paid according to the prices of its produce. If the former be too high, employment cannot be furnished, if tio low, labor will not be supplied. When these bear a du-3 proportion to each other, the fanner and manufacturer are encouraged to cntcrprize, and tha laborer stimulated to exertion. There would then appear to be no cause for serious alarm in the present state of things. Every prudent man has foreseen its approach, and while the future was uncertain, his fears may have predominated, lint now the worst is known, and there is no cause for despair, unless rashness and folly create new and unnecessary difiiculties. The progress of the state in wealth and improve ment, neea not oe long retarded. 1 hose now in the lead, if they pans.-j may faulter, but others will take their place. No failures of consequence, have occurred among the business men of the State. The suits for debt in the Courts are not more numerous than usual. Sheriff's sales seldom occur. All the produce of the country is demanded for consumption. Visionary schemes are understood and duly appreciated. Emigration to the state is increasing, canals and rail roads will soon be completed, confidence will be restored, and exchanges be again at fair rates, and if produce do net command high prices, its cost of transportation will be less, and the wants of the citizens will be supplied from abroad at reduced rates. Accompanying are tables showing the condition of the State Hank and branches, and the names aud compensation of the officers. Respectfully submitted, on behalf of the board, S. MERRILL, President. LEC'ISLATIVIS. Senate, December 13. On Wednesday, in the Senate, Mr. Dunning, from the select committee to w hich it had been referred, reported back without amendment the bill for the division of the 7th and the formation of the 10lh Judicial circuit. which was laid on the table. A resolution was adopted, on motion of Mr. Smith, directing the committee on canals and internal improvements lo inquire what means shall be employed lor the improvement of the Michigan Iload, so as to secure its usefulness to the public. A resolution was also ndop'cd, on motion of ar urn ...... ' .uivcr, uirecung the same committee to inquire into the expediency of aiding, in some way, the Indianapolis and LawrencevOurgh Kail Koad Company. Several resolutions were adopted in rela fion to working public roi.ds and holding su pervisors io a laiuuul discharge of their duty. A bill was reported by Mr. Ewing, which was three times read and passed, legalizing the acts of Anthony F. Smith, assessor of the county of Fulton. Several bills in relation to roads and other local matters were reported to the Senate. Mr. Morgan of R. introduced a joint resolution of the General Assembly of the Indiana to Congress, in favor of making the paper of specie paying banks receivable for rii MirI . ....:. I. i . mum v. as, rcau, ami on motion to dis pense with the rule and read it a second time ueauuor ueoate ensued, in which the object of the joint resolution was simnortnd K. Messrs.

The President laid before the Senate several reports, among which was a report from the Fund Commissioners, and reports from the Auditor of Public Accounts and Tro isurr f ptate, in answer to a resolution of the Senate in relation to tiieir salaries and perquisite. A resolution was adopted, on motion of Mr, Clark, directing an inquiry into the expedi encv oi disqualifying stockholders of Insurance companies or Savings Institutions, from hold ing me omce ot Director on the part of the uirtie uanK oi inuiana. A ... . -f communication was received from the Judges ot the Supreme Court, in answer to a resolution ot the Senate, giving the inform tion that, on account of the protracted sick ness and death of one of the Judges, and the consequent increase of the amount of duties required of the other two, they had not been able Incomplete the revision, nor would they be able to complete it in a Imnncr whjch would do justice eithei to the public or themselves, in time to report it to the present General Assembly, but would be ready to report a complete revision to the succeeding Leeuslature. December 14. from the Judiciary Mr. Thompson of F.

Mr. Dunning moved to re-commit the Dill to a Select Committee with instructions to strike out Vigo and insert some county adjacent lo Monroe, on the ground that there were a great number of witnesses, some of them old and feeble, who could not attend a Court so remote as Terre Haute. The change of venue was advocated with earnestness by Messrs. Dunning, Thompson of L., Finch, Donson, and Kennedy, who preferred Vigo county, because the prisoner petitioned in favor of that county, and because it was alleged that the prejudice against the prisoner extended to the neighboring counties; and also, by Messrs. Colerick, Clark, Thompson of P. and others, who favored the re-commitment so as lo change the venue to some county contiguous to Monroe, so as to enable the witnesses lo attend. Mr. Mitchell opposed the change altogether, and expressed his Icars that a change, especially to so remote a county as Vigo, would amount to a defeat of the ends oi justice, lie comenuca that there were! enough of disinterested men in Monroe counlo men who would not be influenced by flying reports to do justice to the accused.--Mr. Baird cf St. Joseph, concurred generally in the remarks of Mr. Mitchell, and" opposed the change to Vigo, but was willing to rant a change to an adjacent county. Mr. Hrady moved to amend the instructions to the Select Committee, so as to fix upon Putnam county, which w as agreed to, and the bill was re-committed. In the House of Representatives, many re solutions nave Deen introduced, directing in quiries, by the Judiciary Committee, into the propriety of making some changes in the present laws. Most of these, however, are on subjects ol minor importance. On Wodnps day, the House resolved itself into Committee ot the Y hole on the Governor's Message .Mr. trumc in the Chair. The different sub jecls recommended by His Excellency to the consideration of the Legislature were referred to their appropriate Committees, without discussionexcept that part as to whether the lianlc has torleited its Chai tcr. On a reohi tion on that subject, offered by Mr. Bryce, referring the matter to the Committee on the Judiciary, some debate took place in regard to the Committee to which it should be referred. Mr. Wines of V. moved to change the reference to the Committee on the State ISank. Messrs. Judah and Bryce supported uie iint proposed reterence Messrs. Dowlmgand Jones the latter. The resolution was so modified by the mover so as to refer the mere legal question of forfeiture or not and referred by consent to the former Committee tne remainder of the Message on that sub ject, was referred to the Committee on the Slate lii-nk. 9? T"eda a resolution was introduced by Mr. Williams of Wayne, proposing to di rect '-the Board of Internal Improvement to make the greatest expedition for the next two years on those works that, in the opinion of x,u...u, u, proouce me earliest and best return to the State on the investment.

Mr. Mr. Brady moved to re commit the bill with instructions to remodel the Circuits and confine the number to ten. After considerable debate in which several gentlemen participated, in relation to the difficulties at tending the sdminisita'inn ofiu-t'wo nrmrd J ing to the present organization of the Circuits, and as to the number lo which the committee (should he restricted, the bill was re-committed to a select committee of one from parh Cir cuit, with insfcfetic-ns to equalize the Circuits as nearly as possible, and form such addition- ! al Circuits as the public interests may require ! In the House the bill introduced by Mr by Crume some days since, proposing to repeal the act w.ucli passed in 1S3J, making it a penal otionce to circulate bank notes of a less dcncniinalicn than $3, under a motion to inuciiniif iy posipone, produced considerable discussion. The principal ground of argument for repealing the act was that the act is not effective that it remained a dead letter on our statute booK and that th scarcity of specie makes it necessary for the circulation of smaM notes. The ground assumed by the other side was that a repeal of the act would flood our state with small notes, disphce the same amount of specie, and subject the people to the imposition of irresponsible banks. We shall give a short sketch of the debate. This is the only question since our last paper that has elicited much discussion. The bill was indefinitely postponed by a large majority Many hills are on their second reading a few, principally of a local character, have passed the House. Ind. Jour. Supreme Judges -The nominations of Isaac Llackford, Charles Dewey, and Jeremiah Sullivan, as Supreme Judges, made to the Senate on Monday last, were confirmed by that body on Tuesday. F, om the Baltimore Commercial Transcript. Washington, Dec. 14, 1837. It is curious lo observe the sudden changes in the political atmosphere of the Capitol yesterday, for instance, the temperature of the House was at boning point; while to day, its thermometer stood at the very zero of dulness and inanimation. And yet the business of the day in this branch of Congress was precisely the same as that which caused so much commotion yesterday it was the presentation of petitions. Mr. Adams' budget and invectives having rendered it impossible to receive them from all the states on one day. Surely it would satisfy the vanity of a less conceited person than that individual, to be the cause of such tedious business, giving birth to such pregnant feeling as was exhibited yesterday. There was then nothing of interest regarding any of the petitions presented to-dav. Most of the sitting was in this way consumed, nnd nothing else was done excepting the presentation of several reports from different committees. There was an enormous mass of bills reported from that on Claims, the titles of all of which the Clerk had to read over, until one was tired out with hearing the eternal title of t;a bill for the relief of . These being read a second time, the House shortly after, for the relief cf all present, adjourned. In the Senate something interesting in the way of a plesant dialogue, occurred between Senators Buchanan and Bayard,of Delaware, on the subject of a certain Preamble and Resolutions laid on the table by the latter, which are similar in their purport to those presented last session by the same gentleman, and the object of which is nothing less than to rescind the well known Expungitirr Resolution! Mr. Bayard made a few remarks upon the papers he oflered, saying that the wishes of his constituents as expressed by certain resolutions on .his subject passed by the Legislature nf il!a j slate, were entirely his own; that for the similar preamble and resolutions presented by him before, he had never asked consideration, simply because it would havebn f use, that he did not present those now before u.e senate, nut lor the sole purpose of cant!,,,,. mi: tne claim. - " He thought 'light was breaking nn thn country," and better times annmnrl?; a therefore there was a prospect of an attempt to eilect the obiectof the nreambln rJ S , . . . 1 iiiiu I l.!UUnions, being successful. Mr. Buchanan in ,is usua gooj naturcd inner, said he certainly hrmd !,., i,; j irom ueiaware might live a ihn,.c, ut bethought lheiewasannnprlnr. Bayard seeing the day w hen the Expunging resolution should be rescinded-a prophecy w h,ch Mr. Bayard received by calmly expressing his belief that it would not be a very W lime ere that event should rnm in ht?

Washington, Dec. 19. IN SENATE. Mor Aholiition movements in the Senate, More petitions more discussion more ex citement. Another firebrand was thrown in to the Senate Chamber this morning, in the form of a series of resolutions from the Legislature of Vermont. Mr. Swift, one of the ermont Senators, was the bearer of the des patches. At his request, the resolutions were read by the Secretary of the Senate, and the excitement occasioned by the reading was much more general and extensive than that created by the discussion of yr sterday. The resolutions made severe strictures upon Slavery and the Slave Trade, with some harsh allusions lo the slave-holding Stales. The reading over, two or three Senators sprang to the floor. The eye of the Vice President first fell upon Mr. King of Alabama, who said that the resolutions were infamous, come from what source they might. They contained a gross libel upon the South, and deserved, and he hoped would receive no respect and no consideration at the hands of the Senate. Mr. Swift replied that no threats would teter him from doing his duty to his State, and defending the Legislature of Vermont. Mr. Calhoun followed, with some severe slrictures upon the resolutions presented by Mr. Sn iff. They were, he said, a heavy blow upon the Confederacy a deeper wound than had before been inflicted by any Senator, or by any State. A debate, long and protracted, was threated. Some were for hurrying it on for bringing the w hole, subject before the Senate, and others for postponing it fora week. and others indefinitely. At the request of Mr. Clay. who foresaw that a storm was gathering, and that an angry debate 'would bo the consc quence, Mr. swilt withdrew the resolutions for the purpose of presenting them on Tues day next. 1 llC resolutions : wrr Willwlr.nn n mwl Ihn Pandora's box was closed for to-day, and pro"""J "i lucsaay next. the explosion will then be tremendous, for Mr. Callionn, iur. rreston, t.lay of Alabama, and a host of others, are ready and eager for discussion The resolul ions fromlV ermont will prove the greatest fire brand that has beer, thrown into Congress since the beginning of tiie Abolition fever. The end! What will it be? Where will it be? The resolutions beii.g withdrawn. the remainder of the day was passed in the consideration of petitions nnd reports from standing committees. The session ended with closed dorrs, and an executive session. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Speaker announced, at ti e opening of the House, that he appointed Mr. Everett of ermont, to nil the vacancy in the committee of Ways and Means, occasioned by the signation of Mr. Briggs. Mr. li xm, rcher, was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation cf Mr. Fletcher of Massachusetts. Mr. B. declined, and the House authorised the appointmentof a remem Mr. Everett was selected to fill (he second va cancy. As soon as lhe journal was read il.u ,r, ing, Mr. Everett declined the appointment of w I'it. ms reasons were, that he had too much respect, and too much friendship for Mr. l letchcr to allow him i fill . . mennaa occn ottered to him under the peculiar circumstances of the cae.

Unfinished Business was (hen made thp ders of the day in the House, and the unfmUl,. ed luisiness was w ell named ihc further considcralion of the Petitions pycyinc 'for the Mn. lilion cfSlnirry in the Dhlrict of Columbia. The mcrils of the whole Slave question were involved in the discussion, nnd the day lms been in the House one of unusual extiic. ment. Mr. Sladc has had the floor the most of the day, and coming from Vermont, where Abolition grows up spontaneously with cliil. dren to manhood, you can imagine the character of l is Petitions and his speech. To speak of it in a few w ords, it is the i rv essence of all that Thompson, Garrison, May & Co have written and spoken on the excit'nc topic of Slavery. In the very outset of his remarks he was iiuerrupiod i.y Mr. U lse oi Virginia, fop inlimating that the motion to lay Abolition memorials upon the fable was the result of combination r.,011 the part of Southern members. Mr. Dawson, of Georgia, also called him lo order for the same reference, and Mr Slade satisfied them by disclaiming all person' al feeling and all personal reference in r,gard to the ( barge. lwr. siade con inm( u mm.,..i... i .i Sladc Southern members became more and more excited. The Speaker at length called him to order for wandering from his subject. Mr. Legare of South Carolina, got the lW and asked permission to say a few word -Ac was under the influence of great feeir and excitement, and begged the member from ermont not to r recced. Mr. L. as one of the most eloquent men in the Hoiiv-c was (co much excited at the present moment to sneak with any degree of coolness. With "reat nrdor and justice he vindicated the South from the attack made by Mr. Slade and said tint the homes and fire-sides of the Soulh-her dearest interests and her peace her domestic happiness all (hat she had and was wa, identified with this question; nnd he therefore begged that the member from Vermont W OU1U CCSlSl. Mr. Slade refused again and again !o i, M the floor, ex ept when called (o order by ih members of the House. Mr. Dawson, ol Georgia, twice asked permission to reply 0 some severe remarks made by Mr. S.. but MrS. refused to yield the floor. Here Mr I cgare, much excited, moved an adjournment although it was not then one o'clock. Mr Lcgare's motion was not in order, of coimc was not put by the Speaker. Mr. Dawson, of Georgia, called for the orders of the dav the further consideration of (he President Message; the motion was not in order, and ..ii. oiaui; ..as again suncrcil to proceed. For a half hour Mr. Slade went on ni illiout interruption, animadvertiiu' in frnr gunge not merely upon Slavery in the Diiirt of Columbia, but in all lhe States. Mr. Dawson, Mr. Wise, and" Mr. Pl.clt called him lo order. But from the nature of 11 e subject, which 1 will explain by and l,v, Mr. Made was not out of order,and was awn sufTered to proceed. The House at len-lli became (oo hot Mr. S.'ade's remarks (co personal and the Southern mctnfccrs too much excited to hear more. Mr. Illicit and Mr. Wise at (he same moment both called him to order.
