TWESfTTf-TEIIKD COCJRESS. House of Representatives Zwa. 29, 1834. Mr. Ha wes submitted the following resolutions: Resolved. That the Committee on Military Af

fairs be directed to inquire into the expediency of erecting a public armory on the waters 01 ureen river, in the State of Kentucky. Resolved. That the Committee on Military Af fairs be directed to inquire into the expediency of - abolishing the military institution at est l oini, in the State of New York. The question being taken on their adoption, the numbers voting were ayes 41, noes 54. (No quorum.) . The reading of the resolutions was then called for. They were read accordingly. Mr. Ward called for a division of the questoion. The first resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Brown, of New York, then moved to lay the resolution in relation to the Academy at West Point, on the table. The effect of this motion, on a resolution of inquiry only, may be considered equivalent to a rejection. Mr. Bouldin called for the yeas and nays on that motion, which were ordered, and the question to lay the resolution on the table, was put and negatived. Yeas 85 mays 102 Mr. Hanncgan, of this State, voting in the affirmative, and Messrs. Curr, Kinnard and Lane, in the negative the others absent. The question then recurring on the adoption of the resolution, Mr. J. Q. Adams called for the yeas and nays, which were ordered. Mr. Lytle offered an amendment, but it was not considered in order. Mr. Hubbard proposed to amend the resolution by striking out the words "Committee on Jlilitary Affairs" and insert "a Select Committee to consist of one member from each State." Mr. II. remarked that he had voted against the motion to lay the resolution offered by the gentleman from Kentucky upon the table, and ha had done so, from a settled conviction that the time had arrived when some inquiry into the affairs of this institution ought to be made. It was perfectly manifest, from what had transpired heretofore, and from passing events, that there was an opposition, and an increasing opposition, to the Academy at West i'omt. lhe reasons why he could not distinctly tell, but euch he believed to be the fact; whether it arises from the manner of administering the affairs of the institution, or whether from the creation of the institution itself, he was unable to say. From what had come to his knowledge, he believed that the Legislatures of two at least of the States of this Union, have expressly instructed their respective delegations in Congress to oppose all appropriation and every other measure for the benefit of this Academy; and in other parts of the confederacy there were objections to this institution, lie therefore was of the opinion, that an inquiry had better be made at once into the propriety of continuing the establishment. Such an inquiry will of course include every thing connected with its affairs. And as it was a subject of very general importance, one in which every part of the United States had most certainly a deep interest as no other one subject, in his belief, would be likely to engage the attention of Congress, of more importance, he had been induced to propose the amendment to the resolution, so that the committee charged with the subjects of inquiry, should be composed of one meiuher from each Stale, and he wished it to be understood, in preparing this amendment, he had not done it out of any disrespect to the Committee on Military Affairs, nor had he done it with a view of being placed upon the select committee, as it was his particular wish to be excused from that service. Mr. Speight expressed his regret that the original resolution had been opposed, as, if it was adopted, the committee would have it in their power to investigate whether there were any abuses connected with the institution; however, the select committee proposed by the member from New Hampshire, would no doubt do ample justice to the subject. Mr. Hubbard said, he was induced to offer his amendment in consequence of the various opinions which were held as to the expediency and utility of the Academy. These opinions had been carried so far as to have produced resolutions from some of the State Legislatures; he therefore thought that if the subject was investigated by a select committee, consisting of one person from the several States in the Union, that it was the only way to como to a proper decision, whether it was to be abolished, or have appropriations made for its support. In taking this course, he begged to be understood as declining being on the committee, if his proposition should be adopted. Mr. Brown, of New York, offered another amendment, but it was withdrawn. Mr. Millkr moved to postpone the further consideration of the subject until Tuesday. Mr. Williams called for the yeas and nays on this motion, but subsequently withdrew his call. Mr. Hawes accepted the ampendment offered by Mr. Hubbard, as a modification. Mr. Mann, of New York, was about to address! the House, but was prevented by the expiration of the hour allotted to morning business. (So the subject stands over.) IN SENATE. Feb. 4. The followieg message from the President of the United States was received by Mr. Donslsox, his Private Secretary: To the Senate and House of Representatives : 1 deem it my duty to communicate to Congress I lhe recent conduct oi the uanx ol the United States, in refusing to deliver lhe pooks, papers, and funds, in its possession, relating to the execution of the act of Congress of7ih, 1832, entitled, an act supplementary to the "Act fur the relief of certain surviving officers and soldiers of the Revolution." The correspondence reported bv the Secretary of War, and herewith transmitted will show the grounds assumed by the Bank in 'uuCv w m. j.usu.1 lumuhe me iransier airecteu t V tho Wnr Dr partmerjt. It does not profess to claim the privi-! lcge of this agency as a right secured to it by con iiivi , nut - u ui.ii(m Lumtiau uv am viOVCrilment,i)Ut ns a burthen from which it is willing lo be relieved. It places its refusal upon the CXtraor- ! dinary ground that the corporation lias a right to ! sit in judgment upon the legality of the acts of the constituted authorities, in a matter in which the stockholders are admitted to have no interest, and it impedes and defeats, as far as its power will permit, the execution of a measure of the Administration, because the opinion of the corporation, upon . the construction of an act of Congress differs from hJL lhe. officers of the United States. The claim of this corporation thus to usurp the functions of the judicial power and to prescribe to the Exeutive Department the manner in which it hall execute the trust confided to it bv law, is without example in the history of our country. Ii

the acts of the public servants, who are responsible

to the people for the manner in which they execute their duty, may thus be checked and controlled by an irresponsible money corporation, then, indeed, the whole frame of our Government is changed, and we have established a power, in the Bank of the United States, above what we derive irom the people. It will be seen, from the accompanying statement, marked A, that acccrding to the latest ac counts received at the War Department, the Bank of the United States and its Branches have in their possession near half a million of the public money, received by them under the law of 1832, which they have not yet accounted for, and which they refuse to pay over to tho proper agents, for the use of those persons for whose benefit it was with drawn from the Treasury. It is to be regretted that this attempt on tho part of the Bank to guide and direct the Executive upon the construction and execution of an act of Congress, should have been put forward and insisted on in a case where the immediate sufferers from their conduct will be; the surviving veterans of the Itevolulionary war; for this evil falls exclusively upon the gallant defend ers of their country, and delays and embarrasses the payment of the debt which the gratitude of the nation has awarded to them, and which, in many instances, is necessary for their subsistence and comfort in their declining years. The character of the claim set up by the Bank, and the interest of the parties to be immediately affected by it, make it my duty to submit the whole subject to the consideration of Conirrcss: and 1 leave it to their wisdom to adopt such measures as the honor of the Government and the just claims of the individuals injured by tho proceedings, may be deemed to require. Hiving called for the opinion of the Attorney General upon this occasion, with a view to a thorough investigation of the question which has thus been presented for my consideration, I enclose a copy of the report of that officer, and add my entire concurrence in the views he lias taken. ANDREW JACKSON. The message having been read, was, after a short debate, referred to the Committee on the judiciary. In the House cf Representatives the same subject, after considerable debate on referring it to tho commitiec on the judiciary, or the committee of Ways and Means, was sent to the latter committee, by a vote of 107 to 100. Pending the reference, Mr. Lane made the following remarks: Mr. Lane said that, upon examination, ho had found that the question presented by the message was intimately connected with the subjects heretofore referred to the committee of Ways and Means. He understood the T7th rule of the House to devolve this subject expressly upon that committee. By the 57th rule, it was made the duly of the committee of Ways and Means, "to examine particularly into the laws making appropriations of moneys, and to report whether tho moneys have been disbursed conformidably with such laws." If this was a controversy whether one or another should disburse the pension fund, it belonged, by the very letter of tiie rule, to tiie Committee of Ways and Means. The 63d rule assigns duties to the Committee on the Judiciary touching all judicial proceedings. Would any one say that this was a judicial question whether money was disbursed by A or B. It was said that the President had sent the pnpers here, without motive. Ho was very happy to hear it acknowledged, for once, that the President had sent documents without any unj worthy motives. The gentleman from Pennsvlvadentof the Bank is full, clear, and candid. Yes, sir, all that comes from the Bank is puro and unsullied as snow. In Seriate Feb. G. On motion of Mr. Tipton, Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of a law authorizing an issue of scrip to Newton Hays, of New York, the legal holder of two certificates for land purchased at Yincennes, in the State of Indiana. On motion of the same gentleman, Resolved, That the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads be instructed to inquire into the expediency of establishing tho following Post routes: 1st. A post route from Marion via Huntington, to Turkey Creek Prairie. 2d. A post route from Southbend to Michigan City, on Lake Michigan. 3d. A post route from Tabor's, on the Michigan road, to Laport Court-house. 4th. A post route from Logansport, via Turkey Creek Prairie and Goshen, to While Pigeon, in Michigan Torritory. 5th. A post route from Andersontown, via Stcphensburg, Strantown, Kirk's Cross Roads, Frankfort, and Dayton to Lafayette. Mr. Kaxe, on leave given introduced a bill for the establishment of the Territory of Wisconsin; which was read, and referred to the select Committee on the Territories of Michigan and Arkansas. House of Representatives. Feb. G. Mr. Boon reported a bill to remove the Unilcd States Land Office from Clinton to Jackson, Ind. Feb. 8. Mr. Ewing, of Indiana, submitted the following: Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs in considering the resolutions already referred upon the subject of a national armory on lhe western waters bo instructed to embrace the Wabash and White rivers, in the Stale of Indiana. Mr. Sevier moved, as an amendment, to append the words, "and the waters of the Arkansas river, in the Territory of Arkansas." To this Mr, Ewing objected, as he did not perceive the necessity so urgent of extending the benefils contemplated to the Territory of Arkansas, as there existed to extend them to the waters on the nnrthwMtrrn Amnios in Indiana. Mr. Smrn hrir (v snnnmlrd tho rlrims nf iho territory which he had the honor to represent, to be included in the benefits to be derived from the adoption of the resolution. The gentleman from Indiana talked of cornstalk-militia; but he believed if they were to be found at all, they would be rather found in his own Slate. Arkansas was entitled to some attention from the House, for whilst other States got several hundred thousand acres of land to enable them to make roads and canals, this Territory got nothing but that which she procured for herself. Mr. Ashly wished to submit an amendment to the amendment. Mr. Speight rose, not to prolong the discussion,

but to apprise the House, that this matter va3 already before the committee for consideration, and that it was unnecessary for further resolutions, to be offered, as before the committee would come to any conclusion, they would necessarily take this subject into their consideration. Mr. Mason remarked that after what had been stated by the preceding member, he Would to save the lime of the House move to lay the resolution on the table ; which motion prevailed. From the Pennsyhanian. MR. RUSH'S LETTER. Sydenham, Philadelphia County, January 29, 1831. "Wednesday Morning. Gentlemen: I have just now received your letter of this date, written on behalf of a numbur of the citizens in the third Congressional District, expressing their wish that I would give my attendance at the meeting to be held this evening at the Commissioners' Hall, N. L., and express my views in relation to tho U. S. Bank, the removal of lhe public deposites, and the constitutional power of the President in tho matter, and have to regret my inabililj, through other engagements, to be present. Rut I am flattered at lhe expression of such a wish on the part of this portion of my fellow citizens, about to assemble in public meeting in a district, of which lam myself a resident and voter; and, unimportant as I should otherwise have supposed my views to be, I will, with your permission, take the liberty of stating them in this form, though 1 can only do so briefly. On a call from some of my fellow-cilizens last autumn, I expressed my opinions on this same subject, under the several aspects which your letter presents, and nothing has occurred to change it. On the contrary, further and careful examination have strcngthed me in all its grounds. 1 stood at that lime, chiefly upon the evidence brought to light by the President, of the Bank having employed and paid the press large sums to woik out its own ends, lhe money being in part taken from the public colfers; an abuse that I hold to have been the most unwarrantable in its way, of any ever before known to our annals. What have we from the corporation since? Truly its own confession oi the act, and that it glories in it! The President's constitutional veto it likens, in effect, loan attack upon its character resembling that which counterfeiter's make upon ils notes, and claims to strike hack with a weapon bought up with lhe public money, in tho one case, as it would frame indictments and carry on the prosecution in tho other! Gentlemen, there is an enormity in tho whole courso of tho Bank on this single point, apart from all others, upon which lam not now disposed to ex

patiate, though it is alive with the thoughts that are of deep public concern. There are, I know, orators &.stitcsmen among us high aud famous men; who turn from it in real or assumed disdain, as something too small for notice; but to my mind it is big with principles and results transcending in immediate and permanent importance the currency question, or any other to which the removal of tho dcpositcs,or non-renewal of the charter, has given rise. I must ask your excuse fur the allusion, my principles requiring it; but if, notwithstanding the many pure and honorable high minded masons that there are in lhe world, I sincerely believe the masonic institution to be productive of public mischief, and in nothing more than its power over the press what am I to think of a monied corporation, wielding funds larger than the revenues of this nation, that tells the nation to its face that it will spend as much as it pleases on tho press, and deal with Presidents as it would deal with felons? I have barely time lo say, go on in your patriotic work of extirpating such a corporation. Show it no quarter that honorable hostility does not demand. In such a warfare with it, I am with your heart and hand. The greater its operation upon the interests of the community, tho greater the necessity, under the proved abuses of its power, for its overthrow. Should it get the upper hand now, it will become a perpetual adjunct to the nation, ready to renew its worst usurpations. No matter what the present evils of its downfall, endure, court them all, before coming under such a master. Copy the sixth resolution of lhe public spirited citizens of Southwark, adopted in public meeting last week; it is in the true tone ; treasury notes continental money any thing rather than let the Bank get its foot upon your neck in this conflict. That the President has the full constitutional power to act as he has done in removing tho deposites, I have never had the slightest doubt; but breathe out your exhortations to the House of Representatives. Your great hope at this moment lies in firmness there. From the Senate, you have nothing to hope. And what was there to hope from the same body in the memoriahle seasons of President Madison's administration? Nothing. The war itself, even for so terrible an outrage as impressment, wouldjiot have been waged, or its glories secured, but for the popular impulse that encouraged and sustained him, against tho open opposition or secret embarrassments which that branch of Congress was disposed to throw in his way. The people, the House of Representatives, and tho President, triumphed then , as I trust they will now. "Madison's War," that kicked tear,'' was more fiercely assailed at that day, than the removal of the deposites at this; some of his opponents were for sending him to Elba lo share Bonaparte's prison others would have brought him lo the block; all raised the cry ofinjury to the country, in frightful amount and in every way public and individual distress ruin desolation. Such were the unceasing and confident predictions. Those who survived the passionate exaggerations of the one epoch, may hope to do so of the oilier; even to reap a harvest not less abundant in ultimate advantage. This, gentlemen, I am sure, must be your hope, as it is mineand, as far as I can see into the future, it is a hope resting upon rational and solid foundations. There is in our history, now and then, a close analogy to the history of the late Reform question in England when the people, the House of Commons, and the King,were on opposite sides to the House of Peers and the general movement in both cases bein against that branch of the legislature remote from popular responsibility, in the one hereditary tenure in lhe other by tenure for six years. Reciprocating the assurances of friendly respect which your kind communication to me breathes I remain your fellow citizen, RICHARD RUSH. The Westminster (Md.) "Carroltonian" states, that a shock of an Earthquake was felt in that place on Wednesday night last, about 10 o'clock.
