It will,,undosbtedly, pass the House to-mor row. This is the bill by which the tax on J;Ugries wa4obe laid, to.sujpply the va ctaum in the Treasury, occasioned by the Distribution Bill.

The equal advaldrem principle on which the Bidie placed is-right enougih-and its al - vcate essed to' keep strictly within tho.Coipromie-Act.

Such a dity cannot be collected; but then they.bad tailed so much about taxes on luauriet, it m~ut be put oi paper aI least. This Bill will share the fate of the WIistributioti Bill in the Senate. If the cadairj standssuch legislation as this. and its other kindred measure, it is ready for a Csar.' WASImoT-oY, July 3L. 16athe Senate this morning the bill to %e the Banss' of thn District of bia was taken up, the question. be in a allswing-them to use the paper of - on specie paying banks, which after a warm debate was carried, every whig pre. -sent voting for it. An amendment was then offered proposing to allow them to is sue one .ad two dollar notes. This was u y'posed by the Democratic Sen atois, whostloded tothe fact that the char terzoW-hb, ulator" gave it the power u-inuingae dlar. notes, which would .bave the effect of driving the gold curren .cy out of the country ; now an attempt is - made ito drive the silver out of circulation; and if the "paper party" remained in poprer, the next effort would be to drive 'copper coin out of circulation by tho sub stitution of "sbmn-plasters." Thle amtend meat was defeated by a majority of one three Whigs voting against it. The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. A bill making appropria tion for the support of the lunatics of the District was then taken up, and after a de termined opposition by four or five of the Democratic Senators, ia was ordered to be engrossed for a third readitig. Trhe lill making an approptiation forn aHomne squad ron was then taken up and after a few words of explanation, was ordered to be engrosed and subsequently ii w as read a third time-and passed, and now wants but the signature of the President to becotme a law. A motion wvas then made to adjourti until Monday next. Mr. Clay of Alabama objected. Mr. King said if the gentlemnan oa the opposite side of thse House would promise not to reproach the lDemocrattc Senators with delaying the public business: and if they thought the business could be delayed without inconvctnience to the suf fering and agonized people, whose crics for "action," "action," we~ had heard so much about, he would iiithtdrawv his oppo sition. This sally excited tmuch tmerri *ment, and the pledge being givett, the tro tion was put and carried amtid roars of laughter from all sides of the chamber. In the House, the Tarihi Bill was taken out of Committee and an almost infinity of amendments were offered to it, which were - generally voted down. Thte bill wns then ordered to be engrossed for a third rea ding-the yeas and nays not being called 'on the question. The Hlouso then ad journed. Wasntto-rox, August 2, lnathe Senate, this morning, Mr. Cal houn presented a copy of the proceedings of a large and repectable mneeting of the Democratic citizens of Cumberland Coun ty, Virginia. expressive of their sentiment, in relation to the important measures now before Congress. T'he Resolutions arc well drawn, aid assert that a National Bank is an institution of deadly hostility, to thi principles of our Governmetnt, nd mischievous to thez interests of our country. That solemnly impressed with the convic tion of the unconstitutionality and injurious tendency of a National Bank, should one be established by the present or any futnrc - Congress, no matter by what name, or where located, they hold it to be the right and bounden duty or any succeeding Con gross, whenever the people shall have giv en it the power, to "elear away the rub bishi~"and to establish in its place a system compatiable with the provisions o'f the Constitution, and with thte spirit of our Republican institutions. Ta a word, they Sdecidedly for the repeal of its charter. deny that in the election of Gen. , the people decided in favor of a NdnlBank, as in Virginia both Harri son anda Tyler were supported on the -r,1hoir hostility to that institation .

Mr. lienderson denied that this procee ding.hid referrence to a National Bank. I Mr. Calhoun said,-it whs. sutlicient for him and those ^who thought with him, that the Convention had refused, and that more than once, to confer on Congress the power to incorporate, a. it fully justified theassertion that the bill which was recent-. l f4)re them, was an usurpaioanof pow er uot granted by the Constitution. Mr. Archer said, as neither himself nor his colleague had been selected as the or gans on that floor of the meeting. he regar ded it as presumptive evidence that it did not represent the -popular' feiling of the State. He said the doctrine of repeal was but another forin of Ntllificntion, and that Virginia repudiated alike Nullification and Abolition. Mr. Calhoun said, if repeal was to be consilered Nullification, the Senator would fatid many- Nullifiers awupd hin. Inde pendeut of the unconstitutionality of the Blank, ho asked. how was it passed through that body? It was well known that a ma jority of the Senate were opposed to the compromise. or whatevir it itght be cal led, of the Senator from Keniucky; and when that wvas uanauged by two Senators purposely absening themselves, ho41w was it passed. repeated Mr. C , glancing. at Mr. Prestos! Under such circumstances he considered the attempt to bind this c-oun try in the shacklea of a Bank for twenty years. as a gross usurpation,-and he never in his it'o performed an act with more plea surA thanbe would vote fot the repeal of thstiill.whenever the Democracy had the powei of repealing it. Mr.Bonton said this subject had attrac edsomeattestion this mor ing, and he gave gentlemen notice that ie had the proceed ings of a neeting in Fauquier county, Vir ginia, which .asserted precisely 'the sane doctrines as te one just presented. lie would -reserve this-uutil to-nurrow. so that gentlemen might be prepared with their vouchers for the constitutionality of a Na tional Bank. Mr. Lino offered the following resolution, which lays over until to-morrow. Resolved. That the President of the United States be requested to give the notice to the Bntish Government wilch the convention of 1827 between the Governments requipes. in or der to put an endte t6hs -eaty for.heJoint oc eupation of the territory of Oregon west or thle Rocky Mountains, and which territory is now possessed and uased by the HndAon ay 'omn p any, to the ruin of the American Indan and Fur trade in that quarter. and coullictinag- with our insand commerce with the inaternal proie ces of Mexico. The Senate then took u p she Fortifica tin bill, and the residue of the day wats spest in debtating various amendmsetnts wvhich were proposed to it, atnd withtout taking~ a decisive vote ste Senssate adljousrned.

Mr. Alletn argued for nsear ly an hour ins favor of its adoption, attd gave cogent and conclusive reasns why thse pre let rule shoul-l not be atlteared. Thge im-I portnce of a Presidenstial conttest arose ut so mucht from the part that the inadi vidual chsosetn plays in the transatcton of~ the affairs of the Governmenst, as itn the sc lectineof Agents fur Executive trusts thtro' ut the country. It is those ohfsces that bring the Government hsome to every itizet, and as they are filed, worilsily or unvorthily, does the Government findt fa vor or disfavor in his sight. If im~properj men were recommended for these ulfscesj the public had a right to know it, that it they were confirmed from mere p)arty' pre ileetions they miglst be on their guard againstthem. H~e supposed a case of a foreign natiotn itn whichs a party htad been formed whose avowed olbject was to sttmu late revolt atnd itisurrections in thtis country, by whicht the fuirest portion of it would ho made desolate and its inshabitants msassa cred. If a person was nominated to the Senate as thte Representative of this coon try to that Government, whsose opinions mad principles were congenial with those if the party who were actuated by the ne farious designs, should not the country, and particularly that'part of it miore immediate l itnterested, have prompt insfurmnation of Ilse fact? He considered secresy as an at ribute of despotism,. atnd out of place in a republican form of Governmnent, whose vt cal principal is responsibility. .The aliu sion of Mr. A. to Everett's nomination evi eaatoemta s ore subject.

Mr. Pickenssaid this wasa newquestion. lie had nout thought of it'before the report was presented-this mornin. Ifit were in tended to-procure information, by this com mittee, as to such details ap would enalc this House to revise the whole system of tariff duties for protection,then such a com mittee might lie necemsary to furnish (acts. But lie thoughat the spirit and meaning of tihe act cotainntmly called the "compro mise nct" were plain and simple. Anl if it were intended that the system should be readjisted according t6 theipirit imd mean ing of that act, in good faith, then he ap prehentded there would' be no very great difficulty in the matter, as to main point$ The reiernctce made to the practice of the British Parliament, as to .raising commit tees, had no analogy to our condition. Their system of taxes was exceedingly complicated. They had excises, direct taxes, and specific duties; and they raised as much or more from domestic taxes a they tin from-iumposts. The consequenct was, that it,was complicated anti required a thorouga -investigation,' as to facts amid dietails, before they could:act wisely. on it. But if we iende to confne ourselves to the spirit or mhe compromise. paticularly that part which declared that, after 1842, the duties shunld be reduced to the econ onical wants of the (Orvernment-tljat they shiuld lie for reveotin reality-then there would be nagreatdifficulty. Ours would then be merely a low rateof imposts upon importations. Wetwould have no excise duties, no direct taxes;- and out Treasury reports upon expprts and imports, and the items, together with'the countries from whence they came, and tihe amount, would give is all the infaomation necessa ry for taxes laid strictly 0 revenue alone. liut if we-were to revive dIll that system of 18241, 1828, & 183, coMplicaed as it was, & intended to protect she yarious manufac tures, exclusively, of -the untry, then the movement in advance , a conmittce night' be avery neces k step towards that system. Now, as t .t compromise act, he ilhought sometb . --M La quired by Congress.

Now- as tom the effect that this commit tee, propos~ed to be raised. wtould have op ont the present hilt reported by tihe Cotm mittee oif Ways anmd Mleans, tie ditfered in his views f.-,mtm, helhairmnan and fromm the genitletmanm fruom Matssachusettq, (3r. \Vinm throp.) lie considered it important int hais betaring~ tpon that hill. True it was a hill! with a very modest title; it was called at bill in '-relations to dtlmies atmd tdrawbmack;" bumt in reailimy it relatetd to a total revisioni of ourt taril. It proposed to raise every mt~im p to 21) per cent. except soime few article:s. \Vhuat was theo effe.ct! Omi coamrse woullenm blankets, at ~5 cents, and ttnder that price which tnowv come inm at 5 per ct, thmis hill prtmopoes to raise thi at duty up, at tine dlath, to 20 pert cent, mat~king anm iicre~ise of 15 per cent. Now, althouugh the,. impoiirtations under that head were ntu nw greamt itn valoue, y et the efTect womuhtl be to en~ale the hito producer tom se'l tif cunr-e thec samea article 15 per cent, hiigh er, withomiut danger frorm thme Iureignm artic; antd it was noa mucht a bounty mo tham effect, withotut yieldlini a cenmt of revenuet..

It wasn a mout er too in which the graiZiers of Virginia and the interior West were itnterested; for a tax tnon raw htides would omake, to that extent. their cattle miore valuable. Th'is item tif impo~irtationts wvas large, upwards uf ,R00,O00 amnmully. But if it were in lended to arrange your duties,so as to pro ect manufactures, and throw taxation up Ln oilher brnmanchmes of intduutry as tmu-:hi as posiblte, then such articles mghit be duty ree. Anmd you could have a very clie ive tariff fort protection, and yet limit it to 20 ert cent; provided you made suchm dis r-iminaions as wouldl throw all time bur dens for reventue (as you would call it) uponm certaini great productions furnished at tome, whlile you wvould admit a large list uty-free for the consutmption sund benefit af the samno great interests. Anid thtus the iceidetal protection would be great and grossly unjust.

Fads Respecting the Prospects of Hunt burg.-The suljoined extracts will tiot be out of place whep we examine into tho cause relative to the prosperity of lai burg. The first is part of the Act to es tablish aid incorporate a Bank it the Town of Hfamburg, passed in Dec. 1l35, viz: ' --That in order to establish a Bank in the Town of Hamburg, the following persons be and are hereby appoitnted Commissiont ers to receive subscriptions at the several places hereafter mentioned. At llambusrrg. Henry Shultz, W. W. Starke. and Oliver Simpson." "Trhat the capital stock of said Bank shall be divided ito sis thousand shares of fifty dollarseach shtre. that twelve dollars and fifty cents in specie shall be paid ott each share at the time of snbscribing. ald1 that twelve dollais and fifty cents also in specie, being the isecond instalment, lie paid on the first Alonday in March next, and that t-velve dollars and fifty cetts also in specie, beitig the third instal'neut, be paid otn tle first londay in Nuvetiber next, and that twelve dollars and fity cents also in specie, being the fourth and last inistal ument, be paid otn the first Monday in De cember next, and all shares on which the payment due shall not be punctually made on 'the days above mentioued, shall be fir feited with whatever monies may have been paid thereon." "And the said corporation are hereby authorized to increase theireanpital ton sttm not exceeding five hundrcd thousaud dol lars." The following remarks are taken front the lEdgefieldAdveotiscr, underdate of I Ith April, 1839; showing the progress of the Conmiissioners: I -Bank ofambur~g S. C.-The Books of Subscription for Stock in this Bank, were re-opened at lainmburg on MotInday the I Ith inst.. conformabily to the notice of tie Commissioners. We were present on the occasion, and can hear testimttony to the perfect fidelity with which thieCoumnnissim ers discharged the important trust onfided to them. We know must of the men who have taken stock iu this institutinn. They are gentlemen of wealth. and of the high est standing in tle community. They have taken it under theirspecial guardian ship, and we know that it must command the most perfect public confiIuce. We do not intend a boast, for the Bank does I not need it; but as an earnest of its future success, and-as a proof that it was indeed a money transaction, we will mention, that after the Books closed, we saw three dray loads of specie sent over the river by the Commissioners, to be deposited fur safe keeping, in one of the Augusta Banks. Wo congratulate not only the citizens of Hamburg, but the whole up-country upon its success thus far. Ahle Officers anti ai able Direction canl le procured without difficulty. We have no doubt, that it will have great influence upon the destiny of Hamburg. No part of the State enjoys iu a higher degree the advatitages of location, and we believe, that it wanted notbing but Banking facilities to give it the importance. which it so rcbly merited. Now, it will meeive a new impetus.- We trust, that in a little whilr, site may be a rival of her beautiful sister on the other side of the wa ter. Heaven forbid. that we should in dulge otne uittister thought; we hope for an hotorahle, generous, virtuous rivairy. We have but to say itn coniclusion, that we sina cerely wish Hamburg ttay grow and inny prosper-may continue to grow and prus per, to gladden the hearts anol to fil. thze pockets of her most perseverinug Founder, antd enlterptrisintg ltthabitanats."' WVhat a foresighted prediictiont was this, and how fully it has beent verified anad re alized int all its paris.

We have thus presented soine of the main facts, which have supported Hamburg in ier onward cour se to distinetion-thecause and effect, which together with our natural advanlages, must be a surety. that Ham hltrg is destined, at no distant day, to rivil Others, which have long existed before she was known.

St. Louis -'ra ot'the 21st inst. that a lette.r was received at St, Louis from Jack ..aanvul, Jualy 20, in whichl it is stated that the comm~inuity was, at the moment of i ritinag, ina the greatest excitement, in cn sequeance of ahe developments of the pre viaaii- nightc and a pu'Alic mieeting was thea becing hiebe.. Coli. .ilaahaer, who had been in Jackson ville a day or meti, received on Monday evening tal anonymous 21 letter, informing iia where thae 'money was concealed. ile kept this informnationu an entire secret unitil tight ;andl late at night he came in to town with all the nies and gol, but met the silver, lie then told the P'resident of the Bank and' aaothecr gentlean, and eo joined thiem to keep athe matter a secret un til timec was allowed him lo get to Spring ficld. A t bireakfast tioae the disclosure was made, andi a meeting of the people called. ir is added :-"A bout fifty men immedi ately pursued Col. Marher, determined to bring himt back at all hazards. They left under whaip arid spur, thinin to overtake him before lie reaclhrd Springfield. Mather left at 4 o'clock in the morning." Thec letter statesthiat [H. D. Town, the teller, land just bee'n arcested on an. allda vit made by Mr. Slacy, and was on. Is way to the magistrate's office, followed, by a crowd who talked of lynchinag,&c. The writer exprersses rhe opinion that nothing will be found against him, although public opinion was the other way. Naw On:taL rs, July 31. We have no new feature to remark in the geaueral aspect ofhiiniess, every thing still een asanates bnagaid in thae ertreme. The weather during the la.'t moanth haasbhee nest favorablis for the Cotton Crop, and in tilower sections of Louisiana nany Planters have already coms mnenced picking. A proof'of the forward state of the plant is, that two bales of the New Crap, were received here yesterday, per "Norma," a fortni-hit earlier than hast seuana. The an pIes aIow thiem to be loug staple, elesn, and qif ..ood color. without irimediaje revenue. Let as raise -equally.and gradually proper- revenue du ties; 20 cent. in dighteen months, upon your imports, would le more than wo wanted; it would give $6,0%,000 at least in the course of two years or less ; twelve and a half per cent. would be ample fr all just purposes. This, with the land revenue, would give certainly $21,000, 000. What more do we want in pence? It is more by three millions than what is proper. unless we have war measures, then it ii not enongh. It is to be hoped that next session we will come to a fair and candid investigation of this whole matter; at present. the Gov erument has suflicient for all purposes un til next year. But Mr. P. said that the firat five years of a--tion fronm the compromise act was for the benefit of the manufacturing interests -intended for their hcefit. But noy, when we are about to get the betefit fron the free-trade provisions nnd operations of this act, you propose to cut us off from it. Let us have our benefits, and then, when the act is abonut to expire, except so far as its futurospirit and meaning nre to be pre set ved an] carried out by legislation, let Us adjust it with a wise regard to all inter ests. Mr. P. saidl he had no objections to a re-adjustment, if we had time at preseni. provided it were made prospective in its operation, and were intended to be a final and entire settlement; but the present mea sures are only intended to be temporary. and they arc unnecessary and impolitic at present. 31r. Nisbet said it was a matter of cnri osity, to say the least of it, that the gentile man from Virginia, (31r. Wise,) and the gentleman from South Carolinn, (Mr. Pick. ens,) should be opposed to inquires, the object of which was to obtain light and in formation on a subject which was so deep lv interesting to them and their constitu ents. If this was a proposition looking to a tariff for protection, he was with those gentlCmcn. But if;he object was, as he supposed, to obtain light and inteiligence, he was opposed to the views of those two gentlenten, and as an anti-tariff man be was in favor of these inquiries. Mr. N. contended that the course pur sued by the British Parliament was a fair illustration on this subject. The report of the committee there. he said, had done as nch towards estahishing the doctrine of free trade as any thing that had occurred in recent timer; or at all evets, he trdatcd it would have that effect. What was the object of this resolution ? Was it a tarif for piotection ? As he un dertood it, it was for information. Gen tlemen said it was with a view to protec. tion. Did the inquiry necessarily tend to that ! Not so. But being, as he was, an anti-tariff man, opposed to a tariff for pro teetion, he wanted this light. He did not profess to be, like the gentleman from South Carolina,, (Mr. Pickens,) so well informed as to render further information unnecessary. As a practical man, be re peated, he desired light. He believed that the South had been rather deceived and micled than enlightened by the reports mad by distinguished men in the absence of practical information. He, therefore, wibe pructical men to speak. Mr. Pickens explained. He had, he said, distinctly taken the ground that- if it was the object of the committee to obtain information with a view to revise our ta riil'systetn on the original basis and without referetnce to the great princeiples ofthe com protnise act, it might be a matter of vast itmportance to obtain all the information within our reach. Mr. Ni~het proceeded to say that if we were to tteet the question of a tartff for protection. it wotuld 1)e better to secure all the light we could. Theli gentlcman from Virginia (Mr. WVise) thought that neo shtouldl have. to meel this quecstin ; atnd he (Mr. N.) thought thtat we shouldl be com-. pelled to do so. F'or this reason, hec desi red that the resolution should hje adoptedt. Thme daty o.f theory-the (lay of gullibility on thi5 suibject had beent passedl. Th~e Southt, it was true, had always utnderstood hecr rights ini relation to it, but ho was not so sure thatt she had always piursued themt otn the proper plani. So far as hisi constitu. ets w ere concrned, they desired to stand on rte basis of the contpromise act. I f that was to lie so, they were contegt. But if gentlemen itntendedl to revise the etire sys tett, he for one would opose it to the ex tent of his htiutble ability. But if the shad ows of thec times which cast their glocom before them were to lie relied ott, we were to moeet these quest ions, andl the hest plan would be to be prepared for themx. lie desired, howcver, that they should not lie lcd away by false theories. The Soutth would have to give tip sonme of the views it had heretofore entertaitned, and might probabily thave to conicede the 20) per cetnt. adt ralforem duty uunder the comproutise act. lIeI was prepared to take uip that act andu revise the duties undecr it with a view to ain e-quivalenat revetnue and nothingt else ; atnd if2t per centt. were required, if it were n.:!cessary to tneet the wants and to sustain thme htonor of the conuntry and its fidelity to its engggemnts, he was willing to march up to that point, lint he was not willitg to go further. And he would say that he thaughat it was time that they shoutld be ac to this subject, lie thought that it should have gone in advance of the land and tbc loan bills. Mr. Pickens wvas understood to inquire of the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Nis'octt) whecther twelve-and-a-half per cent. du ties and duties under that sum would not be etnough to meet the purpose indicated by hi j Mr. Nisbet said he was not prepared to answer that question. If twelve-and-a half per cent, would be enough," he would go for that antount; if twenty per cent. would be required, he would go for that. But it was for the very purpose of adjus ting the rates that it was iudispensabhe that the facts should be ascertaitned. And this furnished incomiestablo evidence of the nte cessity of the adoption of such a resolution. The New York Sun proposes that the host of the -'agonized" who have in vain sought thme "relief" of oilicial appointment at WVashingron should accept places as rea pers of t he heavy harvest sshich is no w ripe ready for gathering ini the Northern and Middle States. It is a good suggestion, but as some of the more ardent of the cid eritasirnnts to serve the public, may oh
