This county is iloa ed on the Ohio liver above the falls, is a county of the spcond class in ie and population, but in the pe iref d indus try, the vijpie and intelligence n popul ilion it is inferior to none; and, in these ie?peot-. would not lose by comparison, with any IVople who have preferred their petitions here. It i a mixed population, grouped together from every quarter of the Union, aud from almost every qoarthr of the world, rhietly, hewever. from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York and

New England. And it aUo contains the Swissettlement, from which it takes its name. Thi People emigrated from the Cantons of Switzerland dnring the troubles of the Ftench Revolution, and subsequent to that period, and ultimately settled on the Ohio river, where they hare succesfnl!y introduced the culture of the

vine. They obtained a grant of land, of which I took occasion to speak the other day, when the Polish land bill was hefoie iIlc Senafe, on which they first settled, by special act of Con gress, by which an extended redit was given them, at the minimum price, then tw dollars per acre. They called their tonn Vevay, and their county Switzeiland, names of their own selection, from their own country in F.urepe. They are peaceful, industrious, intelligent and patriotic warmly attached to their adopted country, ag they are to that of their nativity. This county, sir, ocenpies a .ag reach on the Ohio river; and its agticoltural productions are wheat, corn and hay, as well as almost every other article of demacl at tLe New Orleans market, to which there is a heavy export trade carried every year. Nw Oilean is the great

market, and almost (he only mat ket. of the People of that Statt, and they ate instantly and deeply alYccted by its condition. It is true that before long a great division of their export trade must tako place by the Wabash and Erie canal and the navigation of the Lakes; but at present the Mississippi trade, and the market at New Orleans are the only hopes of the growers and exporters of produce. The people of Switrer-

land county have as little direct interest in the Bank of the United States as almost any people

ot the Lnion. They seek not accommodations

in this or any other bank. Thev are the ex

porters as well as the growers of their produce,

and the whole concern is very much the pro

ceeds of their own industry. But in the pros

perity ot the Bank of the United Slates they have a deep interest for, having no State Banks as yet in operation, the paper of the

Bank of the United States has largely shared in

the circulating medium of almost the whole State, and especially was it so on the Ohio river. The present state ef things has withdrawn rapidly the paper of that Bank, and its place is but partially supplied with the paper ol ether banks, chiefly those of Cincinnati and Louisiille banks of recent origin, and in which the people have not the same confidence that they have in the Bank of the United States. The diminution of currency, the distrust of that in existence, the general want of confidence, and the instability of the whole matter, has, as they say, and as other source of information assure me, produced deep and almost universal pecuniary embarrassment In the country. They tell you that the ptst experience has fully demonstrated the convenience and ncces sity of a circulating medium, composed of Bank - notes, redeemable in specie, to supply the want of a snrTkient metallic currency. They do not believe that a sufficient quantity of gold and silver exi-ts to form a circulating medium; and shey believe that a sudden change, or attempt at change, from a paper Fys'.em to a metallic currency, would prostrate not only commerce, but agncultuie; prostrate the value of all pro perty, produce entire derangement ef our af lans, and bring wide spread ruin upon the conn try. They tell you tl,at, after full experiment it clearly appears that local bank ing in-titulion? have not beer, able to furnish a National Cur rency, m any way adeqpate to the wants of the comm-mity; and that a National Bank, with branche in the different States, is alone corn peteni to the task of regulating and pioducut snrh currency; of keeping it ln a otllli aB, healthy condition; and of realizing the rx change between dilTerent and ditanl paits o! the Union. The conrenience arid ne. eity ol a piper circulating medium, but few will d,ny i is convenient on account of tran-poitatmn ;Uin exchange; and it is nere-ary, because the pie nous meials are not lo be found. ll.twi v i urn- h we iriiiy wi; the on litjot of the country u be other than v. ha it i, wc

country . The people of S- i'z rh.nd are of opinion, that a National Uitik i; indispensable to the prospcrii) of the coirini'iuity. Iu this opinion I fully concur ; I believe that a National Hank,

or a N itiotial currency, of tome kind, is indispensable, and thl all oar experience tests this position. This, as a currency regulator, in mv opinion, we mus,t have. The Stale bai.ks are yvho'.ly insulli' ienl for that pur

pose I am no advocate for the present Bank,

nd think it has no paramount claim upon the

(io erumciit for a icchar'.er. Hut I am pre pared lo vole for a Hank charter, with pro

per modifications. My reason for this course

15 well expressed by the petitioners; that it

is indispensable lo the protperity of the com

inanity. And, sir, not having heretofore minted in the five months1 debate on this sub

ject, I will take this occasion to stale briefly

the kind of Hank which I would prefer. I w ould prefer an United States Hank, located

in the District of Columbia, in the city of

Washington. This would do away all con stilutional difficulties; for all admit the pow

er of Congress lo charter such institution

here. Objections to this place for the loca

lion, I do not think insurmountable. Settling

the constitutional question is a desideratum

so great, that it w ill overbalance all objec

lions.

Such institution here need not have any

greater connexion with the Government than

if located in Philadelphia ; and locale it where

you may, it ought to have very little connex

ion with the Government. This place, it may

be said, is not sufhcieiillv commercial lo jus

tify the location of so much capital here. Hut

this place may become, and will become,

place of much commercial importance as soon as the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal or

the IJaltimore and Ohio Railroad shall be

completed. Nor need it be considered ab

soluiely necessary, that the location of such

Bank be 111 the largest commercial city.

would not charter so large a capital as 35, 000,000. Half that sum, aided bv the de

posites of the public money, and by the con trol which the disbursement of the public ex

penditure would give such institution, would

enable it to regulate the currency of the

country, and its exchanges, and check txces sive issues of local banks. I would not ex ceed 20 millions in the capital. The bonus

which all agree might be much larger than

that ol the present bank. I wodid distribute

among the States in some fair proportion.

would permit such bank to locate branche

in the Slates, only by permission of the Legis

iaturcs of the btates, and would, on account of the distribution of the bonus, prohibit the Stales from taxation; nor would I deprive

Congress ef the poyver ol amending Ihe char

ter ef such Hank, or of chaitering another Hank, should the public interest so require. So. b Rank, nlthsugh it could not go into operation till the expiration of the present Hank charter, would give prospective stability to the currency. It would at once inspire confidence, and that is all thai is wanling. Whatever may have produced the pecuniary embarrassment of the country, so strongly represented by the memorialists, I cannot (said Mr. II.) for one moment doubt that such embarrassment exists. My letters, from almost every portion of the State, assure me of that fact, and 1 very much fear that this distress is not at its height in the country west of the mountains. AVe are in the hands of the New Orleans market, as the clay is in the hands of the potter. Accounts from that quarter are discouraging at present, and bode w orse for the future. Bankruptcies unparalK iled in number and extent, arc spoken of in Ncyv Oilcans, and the means of receiving and pay ing for our produce is believed not to be in existence there. The distress of that portion of the country, and of the whole country, I fully believe; and stand ready to co-operate in any measure which atlbrds prospects of relief. I know it has been said thai the distress complained ol is occasioned more by e xcitements, w hich the removal of the deposites has been seiz"d upon to produce, than by the removal itself. To some extent, I admil this lo be true. For instance, if this long ?lssion of Congress had not taken place immediately after the removal, it is probable that neithe r the e xt iletnent nor tin: pies-tire would have been so fjrral; but it cannot be denied that the measure of removal was the oiiuinaj caue, without w hit h (he excitement n. d distress which pervades the cumin would not have oci tured. No one. sir, more dee ply regrets lh m my-1 yAl the runcval of the depo5itcs. It yvas a

to be lamented; but, like all others which

to pass away, without serious injury lo our

institutions. lhc elements of lie publican

Our Government is the offspring of, and de-

only on a few fundamental principles; such

as personal and political liberty, and national

independence. On minor subjects our opinions are various and discordant.

We have wisely chosen this form of Gov-

henceforth, nothing more would be heard than the faint and lingering acccnti of a dying out and exanimate alarm.

Mr. HENDRICKS repelled the idea, that

the memorial which he had just presented to the Senate, had been produce d in any

degree by the panic which pervades the country, or that it had been gotten up for political effect. The people of Switzerland county were not panic-makers, nor were they more

liable to alarm Irom danger at a distance than

'Ve lake from Sylvester's Rerc-rte-,

Mr. BENTON would add his testimony

if necessary, to that of the Senator from In

diana, (Mr. IIenthucks,) in favor ot the re speclahility of the population which furnish

ed the subscribers lo the memorials just pre

sentcd. He knew their industry, enterprise

and sincere devotion to their country, and had

no doubt but that they fully believeel in al

the distresses which they mentioned; but

their petitions only recited what had been

alleged on this floor for the last four or five

months; and the reason "tvtvy petitions were

so late in coming from that distance, must be

because the petitioners were so far off from

the source of alarm so far offfrom this cham

ber, where the cry of distress was first raised

four or five months ago. The petitioners

speak of the scarcity of money in consequence

ol the disappearance of the united State

Bank notes. Now, said Mr. B. the petition

ers doubtless thought there had been a great

jI if t

uiminunon 01 mis Kind 01 currency, because

tliey heard it proclaimed from all quarters

but he, Mr. JJ., would ask the Senator from

Indiana himself, (Mr. Hendricks,) what was the real amount of these notes withdrawn

from circulation?

Mr. HENDRICKS said, that he had not before him any statistical tables, showintr him

the condition of the Bank of the United States,

neither montlily reports, nor those of any other period, and his recollection did not furnish him with an answer to the question propoun ded. He presumed the Senator from Missouri was much more familiar with that sub

ject than himself. Nor did it go lo the point

in question, whatever the tacts might be. lie presented the memorial of a portion of his constituents, men of intelligence, who well understood the fact which they staled lo the

Senate. What was that fact? The want of

an adequate circulating medium, the rapid disappearing of United States Hank paper in that section of the country. This is a fact intimately connected with their business a fact which they see and feel. They make no statement of this kind for another portion of the country, but undertake lo represent the condition of their own. Now, to them it makes little difference how much or how little may he the amount of notes withdrawn from circulation by the Bank of the United Slates. It is the effect of the existing derangement of the currency upon themselves, of w hich they complain. Mr. BENTON resumed. It was right to he a little statistical in this case. The statistics would show, that in point of fact, there yvas very little diminution of the circulation of United States Bank notes. There was about sixteen or seventeen millions of those

notes not out, and that lacked but little of

the quantity out hist year, before the deposifes were removed, ami which was usually about seventeen or eighteen millions.' Still (he petitioners were no doubt right in the fact that these notes yverc scarce iu the part of the; country in which they lived; for the layv of Hank circulation, which he (Mr. B.) explained em another occasion, carried them off to the not (beast. Mr. B. spoke of (he prices of produce iu New Orleans, and quoted from Betijam tin Levy's Flic: Current, of the most recent date. I'k -:i this, it appeared that western prodtu1! bore a good price, cotton higher than it was al this time lat year; pork, beef, bacon, (lour, rorn, c. about as high as usual, and in good demand, lie also lead a letter tiom Cincinnati, showing that steam bout hii-s-im both freight and passage, was better than it had been for three years past; that

ic people of other portions of the Union.

n this instance, he believed thev were much

ess liable to alarm than any others. They

slated facts connected with their own busi-

pes?.

The produce business, in which many of

them are engaged, is deeply allcctcd by the

distracted and depressed condition of the cur

rency, lhcy see, and they feel, and they cannot he mistaken in the facts thev state.

Ie had referred, w hen up before, to the con

dition of the New Orleans market; lo the fact

that bankruptcies, unparalleled in number

ind extent, had taken place in that commer

cial city; and that it was believed the means of receiving and paying for the produce of the

upper country was not to be found there. In

that reference, he had allusion, among other

things, to a letter which he had seen in the

lands of a Senator on the floor, and such in

formation was generally more to be relied on

than the prices current. 1 hat letter did spe

of unparalleled failures in that city, and that

information accorded well with the experi

ence of many who had recently been enga

ged in the produce business on the Ohio and

Mississippi rivers.

.....

Mr. 11. repealed that this memorial nan

not been gotten up for political effect. He reminded the Senate of a remark he had made

when first up, that the memorial was signed

indiscriminately by men of all parties, lie

would venture, the assertion, that mere were many names on that paper of persons as warmly devoted to the present Chief Magistrate and his Administration, as any individual within the sound of his voice: men who, although they disapprove of the removal of the deposites, and of the measures which have produced the present state of thing5, yet they have undiminished confidence in the purity and integrity of the motives which induced the measure men who indulge in no denunciations, who believe the President of the U. States to be an honest man, an ardent patriot, and one who yvould make, for the perpe

tuity of our free institution?, as great sacrifi

ces as any other. It is not for political effect

that such men make such statements as are contained in the memorial iust presented.

All their political feelings are on the other

side ol the question. The motion of Mr. IT. to refer and print

the memorial, was agreed to.

From the intense coldness of the atmosphere all the insects were frozen, so that nearly all

kinds of small birds that subsist on such fare,

were perished with hunger and cold. We have

been informed that sacks might have been (ill ed with red ard brown birds from the banks o

our waters in a short time. Many flying into

houses, or perching themselves along side of

From the present np pearance of thing, we apprehend a great scarcity of provisions the ensuing year, which we believe yvould be worse than the want of a full pocket.
