POLITICAL. Prom; the Newo York Evening Post. Mr. Calhoun was invited by the Demo cratie.Committee:'of Arrangemients lfor the 4th ol July,o deliver an oration in this city. He returted thefollowing answer; FonT HILL, June, 12, Genle'men-I havo been honored by your note of the 20th May, (received the 6th inst. informing me that delegate4 of the Democratic Republican party, from the several wards of your city had selec ted me to deliver the oration at the ap proaching anniversary of Independence. I acknowledge with-gratitude tho honor of being selected by so numerous and res pectable a portion of m)y rellow citizens it u'ditant section of the Union on such an occasion, and am duly sensible of the oh ligationwhich it imposes; but the gre:at distance and my numerous and indispen sable engagements render it utterly impos sible for me to accept. Among other grounds to which you have alluded, you have referred to the part I have recently taken in the Senate as one of the causes of that favorable opin ion towards me. which has led to the ii tended honor that I am reluctantly com pelled to decline. Permit me to say, in taking the position to which you refer, there were difficultiesof the most formida ble character in the way, bst had they been enfold greater, they could not have de terred me frot the course [ took, so impe rious was the sense of duty under whing I acted. The currency was no new ques tion with me. For many years it had been the subject of my reflection, and the source of deep solicitude, and I had mnde up my mind, when the time arrived. that would force it on the attention of the conitry and government, as to the part I would take if then on the stage of action. The derangement to which our countrv is subject is not accidental. It is itherent in the system itself, and, in spite of every ciort to correct it, will grow from bad to vorse, till some great anti radical change is efected. In the meantime, the commu nity is destined to pass through scene-a of difficulty and danger greater than any heretofore experienced, unless the penple should be timely aroused to apply an effi cient temedy to the growing disorders I hold it almost impossible, that there should be any state of things more corrupting to morals, more dangerous to free institutions or more paralysing to industry, than an ttn certaitn, vacillating currency. under the control of private cupidity, such as ours is; and I am amazed,that the wealthy ca pital ists, whose property exists in stocks and securities, are not the irst to see it and take the alarm They ought to see that the gatns from the irregular working of such a system must be but momentary and Cal Jacious, and must be followed by a storm, if permitted to progress. which will seatier such acquisitions as leaves before a torna do. In taking my stand against the sys tem, no partial or local considerations !nv eraed me. I stood up for what'l honestly eno1 sincerly believed to be the morality, thefreedom and prosperity of the country, actdated by eurnit yto no class or section, buttelieving thatI was actina the part of a true-friend to all those who were profit ing by it for the moment, as well a3 of those who for the time were its victims. Whether in this I was mistaken, I am con tent to leave to time and experience to de eide. Thus far I have seen nothing to shake my opinion, but much to coniran it; much to animate ate to perseverance in the course I have taken, till an efrectual reme dy is'appleid to this amtong the most dan gerous evils that can befal the country. F'or the vety kind nmannter in which yon have communicated ithe witshes of thos' you represet you will ptlease accept m, sincere acknowledgements. I cannom but be highly gratifwed to learn, that many 4af my old frietnds in yottr great muetropo(li-t have not forgotten me, and Icdo asure you -that few things would afford me more .pleasure titan wvould an tpportunity to re new my acquaintance with them, as well -es to form it wihm those more recent friends -whose approbation I have been so fort a nale as to gain, in the trying scettes thro' which I have more recently passed. Though circumstances will not permit me to accepighe honor proffered, and to, be present at your celebration, it will ito. I ttust, be considered an intrusion to ol fer the followinar sentiment; uEquality, in its broadest sense, of rights and privileges between citizens and citi zens, ptursuit and pursuit, and one portion of the country and another, the dleep aa.d solid foundation our political falbric; pre serve that, and all is safe--destroy it, and the wvhole .wvould rush headlong to the dust." ToRichard J. Smiith, Steven Rt. Hurris, and C. H. Dougherty, Esqrs. Froms the N. York Evening Post. The following is an extract o( a letter from James Buchanan, United States Senator from Pennsylvania addressed to a committee. of the democratic membetrs of the legislature of that State in. reply to an invitation to a public dinner to- he given in testimony of their high sense of htis services in the cause of liberal .prin ciples: "When Mr. Van-Buren first recommen ded to Congress the adoption of the In dependent.Treasury, as the leading finan cial measure of his administration, I took my stand in its favor, from the firmest gonviction that it was a-just andI necessary measure. Its true character was, at the first, mistuderstood by many of the best and wisest democrats of the country, ad it was misrepre-setnted in such a maner * by the satellites of the banking power as to cover. it with a cloud of prejudice. * This cloud has already been dissipated by public opinion, the sovereign arbiter of all politIcal measures'under our form of gov crnment; mand viewed in the light of rrrtth it now stands as a mottument of the wis dom, tirmness, and patriotism of its distin Antished author. 's final success, and that at no distant day, sems inevitable. Another hank of the United States is repudiated, at least for the preset,~ by thte leadittg members of that p arty who were formerly its devot ed friends. What then are the alternatives for the safe keeping of the public money! - Aes any wan now serionsly believe that e... ts .....e .the pe..le ,,.;l ain ,.. storo the league of affiliated state baunks, and pour the publie treasure into their vaults; and thus again convert it into an engine of ruinous expunsions and con traction of the currency, and of new po litical panics and pressures? Shall we place our money tinder the custody of corporations which in the day of trial, when we shall most require its use to sus taiu the honor and interest of the country, may again convert it into irredeemable bank paper?. "Above all, shall we, who profess to he the friends of State rights and the liberties of the people. bind together by t he hionds of mutual interests, the eight hundred banks ol ith country and the chief excen tive magistrate; and thus place under hiscontrol,instrunenls (i corr'uptitg infli ence throughout every State of tlie Union. of more extensive power than was ever wielded by the ha .k of the United States. If the democracy of the country he not willing thus t1 put themnselves in subjec tion tothe banks, the only remaining al ternative is the Independent Treasury. this measure is so simple it itself and so conformable to the letter and spirit of the constitution, that it could not fail. when freed from the merits of prejudice to com mand the approbation of the people. By its adoption we merely propose the prac lice which prevailed for sone titme ailer the origin of the federal , vernmenti, and entrust the safekeeping of the pullic tmo ney to agents respotnsible to the govern ment of the people, instead of banking corporations, responsible officers ; why. then, betwpen the tine of its collection and disbursement should it he confided to irre.sponsihle banks? This is the sole ques tion. By depriving the banks of the etsto y of ite public money. vot will not i.jure any one of difem whitch is conducted otn sound and safe principles. It is true that the establishmtent of the independent Treasury, besides diminishing their profits in a small degree by taking from them the use of the people's ittoney to which they have no just claim, tmny require t hem to keep in their vautits a somewhat ireer atnount of g.hd and silver than heretofore; but ihis will be one of the largest ineiren tal advautages of the system. This re gutired increase of the preciotts metals will however, I fear, prove wholly inadequaie to restrict the banks within ihose saft lint its which will secure to the puolie a paper circulation at all times corvertible into gold and silver. I merely throw out these hasty hints on the great subject to wi'ct you have thotighti proper to advert, and whieh is making such rapid advances in the public favor." From the Ozark (AT Standard.

SPRINGFIELD, June 1. 1839 Congress can save the Government by establishing the Independent Treasury System. This latter measure is now a permatent object of the administration, and is called for by the strongest reasons of policy anti necessity.

(Bv REquEST.) From the Grcencille Mountaineer. "THE PRESIDENCY OF THE. BAN OF THE STATE." This important and highly responsible offiee. vacated by the death of the la neted Judge Colcock, is to lie filled at the next sesion of the Legislature. Al ready it has exeited some interest in South Carolina, anid seve.-al gentlemen, high in the conidence. of the State, have been brought forward as candidates. The oh ject or this article, without the slighter-t disparagement of Colonel Elmore, and Messrs. Furman and R ose. is to present the elaims of Col. Arthur P. Hayne. If arduous and gallant services in ihe defence of his country, in some of her hot test battles and proudist victories, he any claim to merit, or the gratitude of his fel low citizens, Col. Havne is not to he pnst poned to any one who is likely to aspire to the office. Immediately after the at tack onu the Chesapeake, lie entered the Army with all those feelings of indigna tione% which then glowed in the bosom of eery \reerican, at the outrage offered to the flag and honor of his country. lie continued to serve through the whole of "the last War," and did not lay down his sword until the violated rights of his coutn try had been nobly revenged. For his, "distinguishel and gallhnt conduct" in the victory of Sackett's Ilarbor.-a victory in which General Brown said "he hail never seen in the whole-course of his ser vice, a nobler display of determined valor' --he was prontoted ti the command of a sqinadrotn ut' Cavalry with the rank of Major., At the storming of Pensacoia, 'ihe was one of thefirst who seized pos session (if the etinemy's battery, amidst a destructive fire from the houses on b.,th idecs, and the Spanish battery directly iin fr nt." The battle field, on which was so gloriously achieved the memnorable vic. tory of "the eighth of January'! at New (.ricans, was si lected by Col. Bayne. I n this hiattle. as well as that ot tie twenty third of Decenher, General Jackson says that "Col Hfayne weas every where that duty or danger calltd." At the coiclusion of the war with England, he returned his military commis-,ion to the Government; hut coairary to his wishes, lee was retain ed in the army as Adjutant General to the norther.: division. And in the second F-'lorida campain, in 1818, lie was placed at the head tot ile Tennessee Volunteers, and in orginzing a Brigatde staff and mov ing to the scene of action, Mr. Calhoun, then Secresary of War, said he "had handsomely surmounted every obsacli by superior intelligence, aided ly patriot ism and the pride and spirit of veterans." Col. Ilayne is a man of business atnd system, and has had very considerable commercial and financial erperience. He was brotght up a merchant-for many years served as a Director of the,.Bank of the stale, and had the disbursment of very lrge sutms of money during the war. In 1830 he was sent abroad by General Jack .;on; and as agent of Naval Affairs to oir Ships of War in Europe, he wasdaily and coustatly in the habit of corresponding with the House of Messrs. Baring, Bro thers & Co., and other large bankers. He continuerd in this highly responsible station for five years, and during this time ie dis bursed ttore than a million ofdollars. On his return home. his acconnys were all promptly settled, and the mission to Belgi utm tendered him by the President, which he declined. In privaete life, Col, Hayno's character is pure and spotless.-<distinsuishedl alike fotr his kited anzd amniabcle mnanner, and for his high atnd putnctilious setnse of honor, stern mttegrity and uuflinching firmn-ss in the discharge of every duty and rela tiotn of life. He is a native of this State. resides in Charleston, and is well ac quaineted with thte business. and business men of the City,-which is no smeall re comttmendation for an officer who is to pre side over a Bank, doing all of its business in Charleston. It w ill be thus seen that Col. Hlayne is euinitently qualified by edlucationt, system atic amet industuious habuits. moral firmness, kinde maunners, stern integrity, great polit i cal experience in fineance, high talents, and an etelightened and exten~ded view of cotnmerce, to preside over one of the most impotfant institutions of the State. His claimes as a gallant and distinguished tcticer in the last war with Entgland, are oif no ocrdinary character.

From the Charleston Mlercury,.lu@g 15. Yesterday morning, a linile after 4o'clock the alarm of fire was soun-led by our citi zens, and-when discovered, it was found to proceed from the lower part of a t wo and half story frame building, No. 60 King st., the upper story of which was ne .cupied by a family, and thie shope by a Mr. Hleineman, (who did not lodge there) as a Dry Goods and Fancy Stocre. .When the front door w as broken in, the interior of the building was filled with smoke, the fiattes instantly bursting out t hrough :he doors and Windlow's. The fir'e was'however soon got under, after having destroyed the.treater part of the shop) goods. A few minuteslater. and there would na denht,.have been au~extent sive conflagratiow, as the premises aire sit uated in the midst of old' wooden buildings, t he street very narrow, and the wind at thte titme hlowing fresh. Strong euspicions are eteriained that it was the act of an in cendi ary. We learn that the stock on hand was insutred for abour 84,000, which is co siered more thtan outiicient to cover the loss. As the matter will undergo a rigid in vestigation bcy the police, we~furbear to say more on the sthict . From the (narleston Mercury. The Joirnals of our State Legislature (as examined in the office or the Clerk of the Hoose of Representatives) begin 20th Sept. 1692, and end Dec. ,838;and they are comiplete for these 146 years, except for the following years, viz; 1721-'22. 1731, -1728-'29-'30-'31.--'32, 1777-'78 .79-'80-'81, in all 12years,during which noentry of Legislative Proceedings (in the House of Representatives) can he found. In 1721-'22. 1731-132, 1777 '78-'79-'80, Laws were ordered and therefore the Legislature did meet. In 1728-'29-'30 no Laws can be found, yet on the 10th Jan. 1729. (as appears from an imperfect Document,) there was a dis pute-between the Governor and the Pro vincial Assembly as to the right ofelecting a Clerk of the ilouse. In 1781 no Le gislature met, as is probable from the fact that no Laws of that year can he found, nt1d as is certain from a reference in the Journal of 1782 to an Ordinane propo-ied "by the late General Assembly in Feb. 1780." The chasm most regretted is that between 20th Oct. 1776 (when the Legislature ad journed to meet "at 6 o'clock on Sunday Evening,") and the8th Jan. 1782 when the Jacksonborough Assembly convened. An etfort ought to he made to recover the lost Journals, and any information on the subject (through the CharlestonNews papers,) will oblige and gratify. "JONAThIAN OLD BUCK.". From the Savannah Georg inn. LATE FROM FLORIDA. Extract of a letter received by a gentle man of this city, on Saturday, CAMe NEAR FoRT LAUDERDA LE, E. F. June '42d. 1839. "Since the promulantion of the treaty, our camp has been visited every day by large parties of indians. On the 16th. Ap-pi-ac-ka, or Sam Jones, mnale his appearance, attended hv 15 or 20 warriors and-a negro. lie desired a recapitttlation of the terms of tite treaty, and professed himself pleased. He laid down the law to the Indians and ordered them to under stand and to obey it. The high opinion waertainled of the ifluence of this Chief I'filly warranted, by the deference paid M bv hi. peotle. and evena by Chitto Tustinugeee who was present. Sam Jones sent to inform me, yesterday that he had sent to the Big Cypress Swamp for Co-ocooebe, and thouiht he would bring him to terms. It may be important to inform you that by the com iitation of Sam Jones. there are 261 Mic asuky Warriors now in Florida, and that they and the Seminoles. are scattered in diierent directions, and that the main camp, lies at the 4iead of this river, (New) w% hich Sam Jones informed me could at any mnoment turn out 30 warriors, an as sertion warranted by the number we hve already seen and 'heard of. He said moreover, that the treaty had met with some opposition. and it would be some time before the Indians who inhabited the swamp could bear of it. *Chitro. Tustinugee, is the Chief whom Sam Jones sent to treat with Gen. Macomb. TALLAHASSEE, July 11. The Indians.-We learn upon good atn thority, that an Indian negro had been cap tured, and bronght into Fort Andrews, whose disclosures with regard to the Indi ans are any thing but favorable towards their abiding the recent truce. This nearo states, that he has tately been with three dlifferent parties of Indiana, consisting it number of from 50 to 200, and that they are all husily engaged in enhtivating large crops of corn; and he has beard te say distintctly, that they would not make peace with the white people, but as soon as they had gathered thm crops, intended to con tiinue ho.tihmties more fiercely than ever. Of this we can entertlfin ntot the shadow of a doubt. Some of the Indians in East Florida may abide the true; hut that the main body 'of them will,- we have never believed, and especially that portion west of the Suwannee, ilostilities from at large portion of the Indians may be looked for every day; and eparations for defenn-, should he made accordingly. Let not our friends in the counftry, put confidence in Indiant hostilities having ceased.-Star. From the St. Louis Bulletit. MASTrIDON HONES. The following comunication from the proprietor of the St Louis Museum, rela ive~ to t he honen whiecb he recently exhtum ed, will be read with deep interest by ev erv votary of science. When we beheld fo'r the first time, the more than mammoth relics of this once giant of t -e forest, we were~ lost in awe and wonder. WVhen int agination recurs to trie period when this mighty animat~l moved on, the supreme andit uncointrolled monnarch of tbe wild and the forest, fancy itself is lost in cotttempla tion; and wve can scarcely believe that a monster, so vast and enormous in all its proportiotns, as these- relics indicate. ever could or did exist. Century on century, and cyele nin cicle, have run their allotted time ; generation after generation have sunk into the tomb;i empires have arisen flourished and fallen into oblivion; the Cmesars and Caliphs have thundered rorth their edicts and all have passed away ; but here, during thi whole lapse of years and centuries, these bones have laid undis turbed in their beds of rock, and many of thetn can he seen as sound anid perfect as they were thousand of yearei ago, From the Commercial Btdletin. In various parts of this vast continent, remaints of the Mastodon have been occa sionally disinterred ;hut so far, no com plete skeleton as yet has been found; the tpper part of the head, all above the lev el of the zygeomaitic process being decay eI: and it has been given up by every sci entific mant, that any part of the summit of the head cottld he foutnd. One of the most intelligent writers on this subject ex presses himself as f lion s: "There are several cirentmstances~ lead ig Lus almost to despair of ever procurng, he-upper part of the skull, which, on ac counut or' uts comparartve thitnness and weakness, tas .w II as of the fact of its being always foiud much nearer the sur face, most he among the first parts to de: cay, and he irrecoverah!y lost.. No spe eimen has yet been obtained more perfect than the one in the Philadelphia Museumn, n,dtis; has no nnet u.f the skull above the zygomatic arches; in this, as in all the n dividuals discovere,', the top of the head was so far d- cayed and destroyed as to prevent the least idea heing formed as to its figure or elevation." An entire head never having as yet been fonad, I think the scientific world will hail the stannountcement with pleasure when I inform them that I have recent ly otiained a . uncommonly Irve. entirn head of the Mastodon, together with a great mnany houes. The eircunstance4 attending the discovery are these A few weeks since receiving informa tion fromt a friend that many large hones were found on the property of Captain Palmer & Co, ab.mt 22 miles from St. Louis, I immediately proceeded to the spot and through the politeness and cheer ig encouragements of Captain Palmer, conmtenced operations which proved more bttce' ul 1 y most sanguine antici. cipations. As I intend, at some future period to give a minute discription of it, I shall at present merely notice those parts which are most interesting to the scientiie. The outside formation and the peculiar constru tion of the upper part of the head is different from any quadruped in Natural History that I am acquainted with. It is composed of small cells about three quaters of an inch square and about three inches deep, cov ered by a thin crunium: attached to the upper jaw is a snout which projects about eighteen inches over the lower jaw and which has never been described before. The positiot of the tusks in the head, has been a subject of discussion amongst Naturalists, and they have been placed in the same manner as those 6f the Elephant. It gives me pleasure tostate, that lcan now settle this question-for in the head, I have discovered I have found a tusk firtn !y implanted ,n the socket, and had it con veyed with great care to my Museum, but owing to the ignorance and carlessness of a laborer in carryitg it up stairs.it was bro ken off, but its position can he proved by a numbier of' gentlemen of the highest re spe tability. The tusks are not situated in the same position as those of the E'le phant, or yet the Morse, as was supposed !y some. They diverge outwards front the head with the convexitv forward, and the point running backwards in the same plane with the head; the tusk futnd in the head, measures ten feet one inch, from the base to the tip, fallowing the otside of the curvature, and two feet in circumference near the socket. The other tusk meas ures only 9 feet-part of the root is want ing. When placed in the head in their original position, the distance froim tip to tip, measures 16 feet, I may add, that it required two stout men to carry the lar gest, tusk. and two yoke of oxen to carry the head and tusks, from the place of dis interment to the Museum. Besides the Mastodon head, T hdve, found near the same place, several highly interesting remains of antedeluvian. It is the head of a nondescript animal, which appears to have been superior in size to the largest elephant, and which resembles somewhat the Mastodon in the hind part of the head, hut the'front part is entirely different; ani until it is recognized or proved to have been previously discov. ered, I shall name it Koch's Missourian, in honor of the it was State discovered in,& inteftd in a very short time, to give a tmi nute discription of it, as well as a great many relics not mentioned; the situation in which they are found, and I shall give my views as to their probable cause of destruction.
