Thursday, ,1/ay Ul,—In the Senate, several petitions were presented, reports received from committees-6a petitions referred, and notices given of bills to be introduced. After disposing of some further routine business, the bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy being taken up, was addressed on the subject by Messrs, Hubbard, C|ayton, Lumpkin, Clay, of Kentucky; Welker, Webster, and Talltuadge. ■ The bill was then postponed to tbe next day, and the Senate shortly alter adjourned. . * ■ ' •

'These amendments were received and subsequently ordered, with the bill, to be printed. AltcfjEotnc other business of minor importance, oij motion of Mr. Atherton, thfc House proceeded to llie orders of the day, and resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, air. Ilrigg# in the phair, on the prtvalo bills,- oil tho calendar. I he first thing l«fnrc tlic Committee was an appeal, by-Mr. Pcirikin, against the decision of the chair, that ho was out ot order, in certain remarks which he had made on a motion to strike on it the fcnactiug chtisc of a certain private bill, ami a_ desultory' debate arose thereon, which ended in the'rote being laken—yeas :J4, nays 80 —no quorum, and the bjhair said he was willing to consider fits decision termed; so Mr. Petrikin was in order, and the bill on. which the question had risen wax-laid aside for further action. . Tho .Committee then acted on'several other bills until the hour of recess.* After the recess; (he Committee resumed and considered a number of private bills, which were reported to the House; anti t ben the House, adjourned. . In the Senate 25th, it message was- received from the President of the .United States, transmitting copies of a letter from the Sultan of .Muscat and the reply thereto, whidh was ordered to be printed, i The .debate-on Ilatfkrnpt bill was. renewed, by Mr. IIvcbakp, who opposed at much length and with great ability the hill reported by the majority *of the committee, believing it to be Inexpedient and of doubtful constitutionality. lie expressed hie determination to vote against any bill which authorized compulsory bankruptcy against the agricultural classes—and contended. that nil the objections which were urged against subjecting banks and other incorporations to - the; operations of bankrupt lawy would apply with as much force in the case of .individuals. lie concluded by saving, that if the substitute proposed by Mr. Wall was adopt.cd, with certain modifications, he wouldb probably give his vote for the bill. Ily agreement, the question on the substitute was postponed until to-morrow, •

In (he House of Representatives, the unfinished business of i!ie morning hour was, tho bill from (bo Senate, entitled, an act, supplementary to the act, granting pre-emplttft rights-to setr tiers on the public lands, on which thfeprtrious question had been la ben the day before.- .The Speaker had decided that the previous question would apply to the commitment of the bill and riot to its engrossment', and from this' decision Mr. Casey had appealed; upon which, -Mr. Hopkins had muted to lay the appeal (including llio whole bill,) oq the table, and this was.the question pending. The question being now on that motion, Mr. IV, (J. Johnston moved a call of the House, ’ which being ‘agreed’ to, the call 1 was made and reiterated-till 1G3 members were present, when the further proceedings on the call were suspended. * . • ■ i The motion to lay the whole subject on the table was then put and lost—ayerii3, naya-IW. Tlic question then recurred on the appeal, taken by Mr. Casey, fron) (ho decision ortho* Chair, that the previous question applied to>the commitment of the bill. .The Speaker explained that' he bad, since his discision, found that, in 1SU4, a pre-emption bill wag passed without being sent to the Committee of iheWhole; he would, therefore, . conform to (hat precedent, and withdraw his decision of the previous.day, and decide that tbo;previous question applied tothe question of engrossment. The yeas and nay 9 being called for-on the appeal,'the decision of the Chair waa sustained—yeas, 100, nays,-91'. • 'The question then recurred on seconding the demand for the previous question, but the mbrning: hour having elapsed, the House, on motion of Mr. Briggs, passed to the orders of the day. The Senate bill to extend (he several acts in force for the relief of iri-iolvcui; debtors to the United Stales, having been sent from the Senate with an amendment, it was taken up, and the amendment was concurred .in. , . . On motion of Mr. Atherton,-the''House resolved' itself into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Batiks in the Chair, on the Independent Treasury Bill*; thequestion being, on the motion of Mr. Cusjiiog, to strike out tho enacting clause.

The public mind has authoritatively acitlcd'ihe qoeationi ’that there should be a total and unqualified divorce of the Government from .all Banks, State or National. The elections of *33 and ’SO left the President in a;, triumphant; majority upon .the subject of the currency. Yet, strange to ; say, he is now in danger of his election, by the results of the Uarriaburgh Convention, and the combination of alarming elements by which Gen. Harrison was put in nomination. ‘ There is something in this past my philoiophy.' I have thought well of Gea.'Harrison. I gavet to him an ardent and animated support in 1836/ I am not now unfriendly to him—yet,T confess that Licit a deep degree of ha mil It lion, when, it appeared, that he had suffered three, man. in Cincinnati, to put forth that' most dishonorable letter to the Oswego Association* The refusal of the Harrisburgh Convention to publish to the world the principles by which the‘\Vhigs are known and characterised as a parly, deeply impaired my faith'in their political integrity.' /The assumption of control over Geo. Harrison, by an arrogant committee, and hit acquiescence therein, sadly admonish ns that he is unfit to be the‘depository of this hig]\ trust. This, however, is merely personal, and goes to the personal qualifications of General Harrison for the Presidency. • ‘ No man should be placed in tne Presidency, save it be as the representative of sumo principles. To bestow the office as' the reward of cither civil qr military services, without regard to the political principles maintained by the candidate, is at war with the genius of this government. -

Dear Sin—Your favor of the 30th ult camo duly to hand. To give an opinion in a cause of 10. much importance os that which has warmly agitated the two branches of your legislature, and which, from the appeal that' is made, is likely to create great and perhaps dangerous divisions, is rather a delicate in alter: but, as this diversity of opinion is on a subject, which has, 1 believe, occupied the minds of most men and as my sentiments thereon have been fully and decidedly expressed. long before the Assembly either in Marylander this .State was convened, 1 do not scruple todeclare, that if I.had a voice.in your Legislature, it would have been given decidedly against a paper emission upon the general principles ofits utility as .a representative, amf the necessity of it as a medium. • To assign reasons fur this opinion would be as unnecessary as tedious. The ground hag been so often trod, that a place hardly remains untouched.* In a word, the necessity prising from s want op specie is represented as greater than it really is. I contend that it is by tlje substance’, not with the'shadow of a thing, we are to be benefited. The wisdom of man, in my humbleopinton, cannot at this time devise & plan by which the creditor paper money would he long supported; consequently» depreciation keeps- pace with the quantity of tho omission, and articles for which it is exchanged rise in a greater ratio than the sinking valne’bf the money; Wherein,'then, is the PARMER; the PLANTER, the ARP19AN, benefited! The debtor may be," because! as I have observed, he gives the shadow.in lieu of the substance, and in proportion! to his gain, iho creditoror. the'bbdy politic suffers;Whether U be a legal tender ornbt;it will, as has been. observed very trul/, leave no alternative. ? It must be that or nothing,An evil equally, great isj- the door it immediately opens for SPECULATION, by which*(he least designing, and*perhaps most VALUABLE PARTORTHE COMMUNITY, are preyed upon by the mote knowing and crafty speculators. Vf*;.;. • ■T3ut contrary to my intention and■ declaration, I am offering reasons in Support of-my opinion; reasons looj which ef all others are least pleasing to the advocate for paper money; 5>itahall therefore only observe generally; that so many people have Buffered by former EMISSIONS, THAT, LIKtl A BURNT CHILD ' WHO. DREADS THE TIRE, no person will touch it who can possibly avoid‘it. The natural'consequence of which will be, that lbs specie,.winch remains nnexported, will. be instantly looked up—With great esteem and regard,'l am, dear Sir, &c. * / GEORGE WASHINGTON.

biro Veen hitherto glorious to the cause of -Ur liberty. To be assured that my conduct, when subjected to this exalted test, can bear the favorable judgment expressed by tho Legislature - of your State, is therefore an honor of the high ■ eat kind, and one to which I fed that I am' indebted more to their kindness and liberality than yny merit of my own, savc-that of an honest intention in all my public acts to pursue fearlessly what I thought would jonduce to the interest of wr country, it is particularly gratifying tp me, gentlemen, - to be assured by your Legislature thattho grounds on which Irested my opposition to-the en- - xroVchments of the money power aro regarded . with faror by the people of Uhto., The dangers of that power, now more evident because they r, aro brought closer to tho observation atid .business concerns of all classes of our citizens, form, in ray judgment, the only cloud in our political horizon. In all other aspect*, the influences adverse, to: the genius of our institutions seem to have yielded to the demands of the people, and c tuph, 1 doubt not, will be the case with those ■ wielded by the dtoney power as soon as tho pub- -. llc.voiceihas another opportunity of actifig upon them. . All that we have to do on this subject, - tsoto persevere a little longer, maintaining the doctrines,-of tho Constitution and the sugges- . lions of common sense. We know that our ' fathers who framed the'Conslttution gave to Congiets no power to charter a* Hank, and wc can-, not.err* therefore, in saying that if our Government hid never departed from their example, wc would- have had none of the cviU whicli now afflict us. in consequence of banl? suspensions, and an irredeemable paper currency. We know that if.the Government deposited none of the money of tho people with banks, these institutions would have no power to endanger the safety of the public treasure, or to influence, improperly, questions of public policy. Wo know that banks, do not make money, but only circulate ■ their paper emissions, which must be good dr - bad according to their capacity to redeem them with specie, and hence that there can bs.no confidence in them-'os long as they maintain the Tight to suspend specie payments at pleasure, •From such truths, it appears to me to bo selfevident, that there is now no relief for the peoplehut in ihe adoption of the Independent Trea*0*7 recommended by the present Adminstratj® 11 ®f the General Government. Bymia plait, the financial operations of the Treasury will be simplified, and the people will have the stronglit guarantee that tho money wliich.is. raised from them by taxation will be applied according to lb# requiroaenia of the Constitution, if. in addition to*this reform in our financial system, Congress would, at the aame time, pass a general bankrupt law, by which the banks which are now in'existence, op may be hereafter chancred by tbd States, would ho bound to make an equitable distribution of their eflebis to their creditors whan they refuse to redeem their notes ith . specie, it cannot be doubted that (here would be >tt sad to the evils of a depreciated paper' cur-

‘ «Pnt (hat and that Together.” Wm.H. Harrison has resided much in Cincinnati, has held office there,, and is better known there than in . any other place; and Cincinnati gives a majority of nearly seventeen hundred in IMS FAVOR. . ..

Now, sir, 1 am wholly unable to satisfy tnyself with regard to Gen, Harrison’s views touching a|l the great questions now at issue bdfore the-American people. Mr. Hives, hi bis late letter to the people of Virginia, took the ground, and reasoned with considerable plausibility, that General Harrison is opposed to a National Bank. —Such, surely, is not his political attitude before ijte people of Kentucky, Upon a question of such vital interest—the question of the curwhich has so deeply agitated this nation, it is lamentable to think,that a candidate for the Presidency, should keep hit opinions so shrouded in mystery, that in one section of the Union, he may be quoted on one side, and the reverse in another. Yet, oandor .compels the admission,, that not only upon this, but upon nearly every subject that enters into the contest, is there a like degree of reserve exhibited. 1 wilt not charge Gen. Harrison With being tinctured with tlmvpoliica! malady, which, if it ever takes firm bold upon our system, dissolves this Union, a4 surely as that there now exists a slave population,—I wilt not impute to him this monstrous sin, for Which, if be be guilty, no atonement can be bod in the splendor of his.miliwry deeds, or in the purity of his past life,.But if.his friends, with his consent, deem it right to “mate no farther declaration of Au principlet for the public eye,” then is he morally responsible for giving countenance tp ‘this - fanatical sect. His conduct does most painfully contrast 4 with the magnanimous position of his . opponent—the' President of ( lhe United States—who has alienated many of'his Northern friends, by his stern fidelity to the South and West, upon this momentous question. I speak to facts.which the country knows. Party feeling and inexcusable ignorance may deny lo him this honorable meed of praise, but thjs day is not distant, when the judgment of tbip nation will.be awarded, unbiased by the transitory influences of an excited political struggle. Upon a- subject of ibis character, involving so much offeeling, and pregnanjKwilh so much of calamity and woe, I choose my station on Air side, who offers himself, an impassable bSrrior to these mad fanatics, rather than on Air side, whose position is at least equivocal, and in regard to which he maintains a mysterious silence. . 5 With my limited powers of observation, 1 can see no triumph lo bo achieved by-ths election' of Oen, Harrison, bm iha si triple substitution of one set of officers for another. This might'be desirable, did it involve nothing more. But tho
