- - ,. r should
be promptly and indignantly resisted.
They must not be made the tools of party,
or the victims of demagogues ; and hence,
I would have their intercourse with the goverument
sfrictiy regulated by statute.
I have limited the capitals of these banks
at not less than two, nor more ten millions
of dollars. No State or Territory will re.
quire less tlran the minimum, and few
should exceed the maximum amount. Tito
one is large enough to ensure respectability
and usefulness ; other could not exert
such power by contraction or expansion of
its discounts as seriously to a fleet the business
of the country, or the value of property ;
and, guarded and restricted, as 1 have proposed,
there could be no danger to liberty
or the Union.
The responsibility of the Mates is proposed,
in order to afford the most unquestioned
security to the depositors and no'e
holders, and to remove ail distrust from the
general government, that it may embrace
the proposi ion at once, and set this distrading
question forever at rest. The
Stated would incur no buzzard in their
guaranties, as no bunk of respectable size
has ever failed to pay deposits and issues,
however their stockholders may have fire i.
But the State is to retain the supervising
power, and may so control it as to make
her security as perfect as she desires.
In cases of emergency, we have seen
several of the states promptly coming forward
(as they should do when any important
interest is involved) to the iHiei of
their banks, by the loan of their credit an !
funds. Prevention, however, is baler than
cure ; and the plan proposed will, I think,
obviate ths catastrophe.
? ? ? ... ?iw>
The guaranty having oecu given, uiu issuing
oftho stock merely points out tiie
mode of settlement, in case of failure ; and,
after all, it is l>ut a financial arrangement,
giving time to the banks to wind up their
affairs, if necessary, and protecting the people
from a rapid and ruinous pressure in the
collections of their debts.
The large size of those Institutions, and
the enhanced value of their issues, would
soon drive out ol circulation the notes of the
lesser banks and compel liiem to wind up
by limiting their circulation and returning
it on them for specie. So that, in the end,
the great evil of numberless small banks,
with insufficient capitals, would be reined,
ied, and the whole number of banking ins itutions
in the country would rot exceed
that of the United States Hank and its
branches,
The use of similar kind of notes, and die
issuing them only from the principal banks,
would impress Uicm upou mo memory?
render the signatures ami general character
of the bills as well known as these of the
late United Slates Bank, and thus facilitate
their circulation and diminish the chances of
forgeries.
The r? cievabiiity of these noYs, in a'i
the dues of the (ienrrai (Jovenmwnt
throughout tlie Union, would rend' r it the
interest of the banks to keep exchanges at
fair rates, to prevent the collection and ac?
cumuluth n of their notes in large masses at
points where trade has a tendency to con.,
cemratc ; and the states may interpose statutes
[in the stead of competition] io guard
against over issues. Indeed the sphere of
o i
competition, if thorn le good in i, will
only be enlarged, instead of the several
banks of the same state, vicing with and
harrassing each other, the rivalry will be be? -?

A serious objection urged; gains' the late
Bank of the United Stales was, the large a.
mount of money wielded by one set of
men, enabling them to contract or expand
the currency, and thus to operate upon the
business and politicks of the country. This
objection, in my es imution, liolJs much
more strongly against the mammoth Insti.
tut ions now becoming common at the
north, and freo of the r straint 1 have proposed.
"
The Bank of the United States was re.
sponsible to, and controlled by, Congress
lor her acts in all the states. But these Institutions,
holding charters from the states,
can only be controlled by the power from
which the/ derive their being; and this
power will never be exerted except lor acts
injurious to their own ciii/.ensand improper
within their own limits. Beyond their limits?in
other states they are almost irresponsible,
and their conduct will be marked
by the wanton abuses ofthc most unrestrained
depotism. Ifyou require illustration,
turn to the Pennsylvania Bank of the United
States, dealing in cotton and local bank
stock?appropriating almost exclusively the
trade of the staple of ffic country. Pennsylvania
either could not, or would not
control her ; and without some further restraint
than that of the States, we will
again see the legitimate business of our
merchants wrested from them, and the
country driven to deal i:i a depreciated
currency, and the occupation of the merchants
superseded by the agents of the
bank.

' The d-t-ail? rt" th ? tra?re??; are annaling A
thousand regulars assembled at Prescot on
the 16th. and commenced a regular firing on
the. windmill, where the Patriots had secreted
themselves. The batteries were placed but )
150 to 000 yards from the mill, and the consequence
was that the balls passed en'irely
through the stone building. Besides the regulars
there were a thousand of the militia in the
service of the Government. The Patriots
were surrounded by land and water?four
steamers being upon the water, and two thousand
troops completely hemming them in on i
the land. Letters from Ogdensburg say that
the^Patriots fought like devils uutil near sunset,
when they came out with a flag of truce,
which for a time was not regarded, the Loyalists,

Five hundred, it is supposed, are killed. Bill

RY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
A PROCLAMATION.
W11l'axe as, there is too much reason to
believe that the citizens of the United States
in disregard of the solem n warning heretofore
given to them by the General Government,
and by some of "the Governors of the States,
have combined to disturb the peace of the dominions
of a neighboring and friendly nation:
And whereas, information has been derived
from official and other somces. that many
citizens in different parts of the United States
are associated or assoc.a'ing, for the same
purpose: And whereas, disturbances have
actually broken out anew in different parts of
the two Canadas : And whereas a hostile
invasion lias been made by citizens of the
United S ates, in conjunction with Canadians
and others, who, after forcibly seizing upon
the property of their peaceful neighbor lor the
purpose of effecting their unlawful designs, are
now in arms against the authorities of Canada,
in perfect disregard of their owu obligations
as American citizens, and of the obligations
of the Government of their country to
foreign nations:
Now, therefore, I have thought it necessary
and proper to issue this proclamation, calling
upon every citizen of the United States
neither to give countenance nor encouragement
of any kind to those who have thus forfeited
their claim to the protection of their
couutry , upon these misguided or deluded persons
who are engaged in them, to abandon
projects dangerous to their own country fatal
o those whom they profess a desire to relieve,
impracticable of execution without foreign
aid, which they cannot rationally expect to obtain,
and giving rise to amputations (however
unfounded) upon the honor and good faith of
tioirnun Government: UDon overv officer.
civil and military, and every citizen?by the
veneration due by all freemen to the laws
which they have assisted to enact for their
I own government?by his regard for the honor
! and reputation of his country,?by his love of
order and respect for that sacred code of laws
by which national intercourse is regulated?to
use every effort in his power to arrest for trial
i and punishment every offender against the
: laws providing for the performance of our obligations
to the other Powers of the world.?
And I hereby warn all those who have engaged
in these criminal enterprises, if persisted
in, that, whatever may L?c the condition to
which they may be reduced, they must not expect
the interference o* this Government, in
any form, on their behalf; but will be left, reproached
by every virtuous fellow-citizen, to
I be dealt with according to the policy and jusj
tice of that Government whose dominions they
1 ' " / -? i ?.i ?<
| have, in aenance or me Known wiancs <tuu c-i1
forts of their own Government, and'without
I the shadow of justification or excuse, nefari!
ously invaded.
Given under my hand, at the city of Washington,
21st day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hund-ed
and thirty eight, and the sixty-third of the

; Supposed Murder.?On the 13th iust. the
I body of a man was d.scovered in a hollow
log,"near Johnson's Mills, in Jones county;
apparently having been in that situation eight
or ten days. On the body were sixteen or
; seventeen cuts and stabs; showing conclu.
sively that he must have conic to his death
by foul means. Some papers were found on
on him. by which it appeared that his name
was Elias M. Isaacs, some of them were bills
I for tlie purchase ot Jewelry in Albany, uuca
I and Syracuse, N. Y. A note was found, ad;
dressed lo him by a Mr. Whitney of New
j York, who who appeared to have been hie
; counsel in 60ine difficulty lie had been involved
! in respecting the purchase, or possession; o
! Jewelry.
The only light that has been elicited respoc.
; ing him, is that a person who was supposed t<
! be a French Jew, answering to his name ant
\ description, was in this city, a few days, ant
' left here on the 5thinst. in a Jersey wagon
I j with a man by the name of Williams, a Ven
i j triloquist, and slight of hand performer; an
! another individual, who appeared to be an I
Italian. Whilst here the murdered man wa
engaged in peddling Jewelry, and claimed to
have the value of three to four thousand dol
lars in Watches, Jewelry and money ; which
probably was the immediate cause of his murder.
.STo money or jewelry was found with him,
except a ring, which he wore which has been
recognized as belonging to him, by persons who
had noticed it. A wagon, and individuals answering
the description of those who left here
with him. were seen at the place where the
body was found, the morning after they left
here.
Of course strong suspicions are fixed on the
persons who accompanied the murdered man
from this place, and the public would do well
to be on the look out for the perpetrators of such
a foul?(J/aco?i {Gen ) Messenger.
Horrid Murder.?77ie Bulletin of Granada,
Mississippi, dated the 8th inst., narrates the
particulars of a bloody tragedy rec< ntly acted
in our sister Stale. The circumstances were
as follows: A planter of Warren county,
i Mr. Gideon Giboson, sold some time since "a
; tract of land on Yazoo, together with some
fifty negroes on a long credit, to Wilson and
i Simpson, with an arrangement on the part of
Wilison and Simpson, to give Gibson the proceeds
of their crops annually, in liquidation of
the debt, and alien on the whole property as
as security-?and Gibson agreeing to furnish
them with open land to cultivate for a few
years, until they could by degroesget a plantation
open on their own land.
For this purpose Gibson rented the j lantal
tion olthe Hon. Franklin ii.Plummer. finally,
1 some misunderstanding arose between the
! parties, Gibson demanded to have the contract
i rescinded. To this Simpson agreed, but Wilson
refused to give up the property. On Friday,
the 2d instant, Gibson, Simpson, Clarke,
.Morrison and Boyd, went on to the premises
| and took off the negroes by force. Wilson was
j in his own house armed" with a rifle and
double barrelled gun. As they passed the
i nouee, he fired upon them killed Morrison
' dead and severely wounding Boyd ; the company
rode off with the negroes, leaving Morrison's
body on the ground. Wilson re-lotded,
j rut thro' the field, got ahead of them and fired
i again, killed Clark aud probab y Gibson. Simpson
and Boyd and three negroes got off and
arrived at Dr. Fisher's neighboring plantation.
The other negroes took to the woods. Gib!
son's horse arrived at Dr. Fisher's. It was
believed Gibson was killed. The sheriff and
: his possee were 60on out in pursuit of Wilson.

i those who have least incurred its enmity.
! It has been the fate of a distinguished ci:ij
zen in the eastern part of your State, and ol
I Mr. Bell, to be the latest objects selected for
| the vengeance of that spi?it, and hence nil
j the vials of wrath are poured out on their
1 heads. I have been comparatively spared
;nnd forgotten. No State in the Union has
1 exhibited a nobler independence than Ten*
I (lessee; and the people of it, in resolving to
, sustain those two citizens against unmerited
! attacks, linvo shown their sensibility to
i faithful and eminent services and a just ab;
horrcncc to gross injustice. I would gladly
j unite with the Whigs of flenry, in the in.
I tended respect to Mr. Bell, but duties and
' engagements at borne compel me reluctantly
1 to decline the acceptance ofyour invitation,
i Among other strange and dangerous
| principles of Government which have been
! introduced within the last few years, n<ne
1 is more remarkable than ilie system of
! rewards and punishments, which has been
! acted upon. Devotiou to power is the
| highest and often the only recommendation
' to Executive patronage, whilst to question the
i - ...a _r_ ciinnnrfnr^il A rlmiiiK.
! talliuuity ui -a icaumg uu|/|.wi
i tration, is regarded as the greatest criine
{ which a citizen can comrrt.t. Rejection by the
; people of a partizan of the Executive, who is
a candidate for office, is a sure pasport to its
favor. So that the most certain way to get
an office is to loose one. Numerous examples
might be given of this practice, but
1 will mention only two. A candidate for
the Governor of Pennsylvania, on the side
of the administration, being rejected by t ie
people, was soon after rewarded by u high
Executive office at Washingon. And
when he pouted and threatened in conse.
quence of another njected candidate for
the same office, of less zealous faith, being
appointed to a Foreign Mission, lie was
quieted by being transferred to a lucrative
office in Pniladelphia. The other instance
is in yOur own State. A Senator who haJ
lost confidence of Tennessee, has been re.
ceuily compensated by a scat in the Cabi.
net.
Thus, gentlemen, you sec with what con.
! tempi power treats the people. It has di
i vorced itse lf from them. And it is in the
i j same spirit that, by means of the SuNTrea.
I ?... c..Cfc?,.Uvj fci establish fur itsel
surv
' (,ne currency, leaving the people in the pos
j session of another, and us it alleges, an in
f ferior currency.
You will recollect that Mr. Adams' ad
. ministration was bitterly denounced, be
) cause in a single instance, it made an ap
J pointment of a I'ost Master at Nashville
* contrary to the recommendation of a majo
rily of the Tennessee delegation. Th
j gentleman appointed was of uudoubte
character, warmly recommended and era
6' nen'ly qual'ficJ for the office.?He ws?s a
terwards, if I mistake not, chosen by the
people Mayor of that city. Bat there was
one qualification for the office of Post Master
of Nashville, which he wanted?he was
not in favor of the late election of the late
President of the United States!
Judging from the events of the last year,
ano'herand better destiny awaiis our Union
than that to which our rulers have been
hurrying it. I congratulate you on the
auspicious prospect before us. When our
deliverance is consummated, no state can
look upon its accomplishment with prouder
satisfaction than Tennessee. I am with

MULBERRY AND SUGAR BEEr.
Mr. Randolph, from the Committee on Agrl-;
culture, submitted the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Agriculture, who were
'strutted to inquire whether, any, and, if any,
what Encouragement may be given to promote
the culture of the mulberry and the
sugar beet, report . ^
That in order to obtain satisfactory informa-;
tion of the present state and condition, as well
as of the importance, of the culture of the
mulberry and sugar beet, they issacd a eirciii
lar on the subject, shortly after it was commit*
! ted to them, to which they have received nui
nterous answers, giving much interesting and

tant of which the committee append ttf this'
report. The first question tfhicb Aaturaliy
suggests itself is, whether the subject matter
is'of such national importance as to merit the
serious attention of Congress ; and in order to
, satisfy themselves on this noint, the committee
i ascertained from the public documents tire
i amount of silk and sugar imported into th8
I United States, as follows, viz:
! SILK ftJOAK. ;
i 183G 25,033,200 12514#!
; This statement at once shows tire immense

| this country, to fotergn countries, for those
' two articles only; and also, the very great fott
' portance of encouraging their culture amongst
* ? ? *
, It would introduce to the firmer new and
valuable, and as your committee believe, profit*
> able productions; wnich in rotatioft) with
> other crops, would have a doubly beneficial
\ effect on our agricultural interests. It would.
? improve our lands, increase the amount of jiroe
> ductive industry, and condense, improve atkfc
1 enrich our population. It would be adding
other branches to the home, the fireside busi-.
i iiess of every family, and thus increase the
] pleasnre as well as the prosperity of. the do*
. : mesne circle. 1 ourcomnuttee cannot tortear
* i to notice with approbation, on this occasion,
j the fact (hat Mr. Lindsay, of Washington city
2 has frequently conferred with them en this
j subject, imparting his valuable information! en;
forced by the practical argument of his wear*
) i in ga complete suit of silk, cultivated and man-'
i! ufacturrd on his own premises. There it in'
i I this, as in every country, a large class of indi!
vidua!s who, so far from adding any thing to
j the industry and wealth of the nation, are unable
to support themselves, for want of suitable
?j employment, such as indigent females and
childien ; the aged and infifai, to. whom may
j i be added the long list of paupers in our poor|
houses and asylums, and of prisoners m our
," workhouses and State penitentiaries* Tb
* tins clas?t the cultivation of silk presents.a
t j most suitable and advahtageuos employment.
Within the last year the cultivation ofibt
. mulberry has been much more extended tbaif
in several preceding years, and the people and
the Legislatures of several of the Stales have'
taken up the subject witb increased spirit and
vigor.
From all the information which the committee
have been able to obtain, thev are induced
} I to believe that no country in the worJd ij better.
| adapted to the production of silk, or the sugar.
; i beet than most parts of the Unite# Stated ?
! whether we consider the soil the clitnate, or
j the habits of the people. The tntilbertf wij
I grow on high, stony, sandy, and comparative!
I barren land ; although the poverty of the toil
| may decrease the quantity of foilage, it will.
I improve the quality, and add fineness and.
' j beauty to the silk; whilst the climate is So
> | varied, that no part is too far north to destroy
I the mulberry or prevent the production of a
j single crop of silk worms in a season, yet, h
j the southern part of tke Union, hrcm eight to
I ten crops may be raited.
' I The Moras Muhicaulis has. for some years,*
I been considered the most valuable variety of
j mulberry: though the Brussa, recently introduced
into this country from Turkey, abighlyspoken
of as of a superior qaality. The
large white six week worm seems to be geocT- ...
aily admitted to be preferable for the predoc*
tion of silk.
i' if, then, there are so many inducements f<ir,
ilie introduction of these two important articles
if the market is large and yearly increasing,
our 601I and climete adapted to the culture,
; and the prospect of pubile good and ..private
gain be good; why, it will asked, may we not
beeome a great silk growing and sugar-mak*
ing people ? We can, and thecomnjittee be1
lieve in do distant time will so become. Itonly
' requires thjt public attention should be called
and kept to tbe subject; Uat out- agricultur>
ist8 be satisfied of a fair prospect ofsuccese;
5 and that the Government should lend its aid
1 to ensure 1 he speedy and permanent success*
t of the measure.
1 THE PROFITS.
> From four hundred to que thousand per
? cent is now realized on the motivation and
* sate of trees. So enormous a pfofit 19 not or
r course expected to be realised for mif length
of time* but will decline as the trees become
more abundant, and the country is stocked
\ with silk plantatatkms. But the producing or
raw silk from those trees must Lecome a permanent
business, from which the farmer will
be able to realize from three to five hundred
dollars from each acre of mulberry (sees. The
i- whole bueincss is as simple as that ot raising
com or potatoes, a::d more 'certain than an
g crop that can be put inte the ground, while it
y furnishes a light, easy and profitable employiy
ment to children, to the aged and infirm, and
ie otherdependent portions of the household, with
i- which erery family is more or less burtbened.
ill I n every way, the silk culture is a matter of
in great individual and national importance, for* ii
nishing a certain, safe, and, it may be added# . - >
