Surely the Taxpayers in South Carolina will not agree to ;hw? * Beside if those great difficulties do really exist, it is a proof at once of bad management. There need be none of Ui?>m. Hiere is a great deal more need of " extreme cnution" in granting credit to individuals in liny Commercial concern, than in Winding it up, it ip for the want of this that there is any difficulty at all. True, ftnnks as frell as merchants or others who ? ?**' -*???? I The advocates of the United States Bank applied four years in advance for a recharter and threatened every day to murder, (and did actually attempt it) General Jackson for vetoing the Act of Congress granting a re-charter. It is presumed that every full grown mmi in this country knows something of the History of this Hank. Ffrom the very favorable reports given from time to time, the stock ranged from twenty to thirty per cent above par value. And with a capital of thirty-five million together with the revenues of the government amounting to between twenty and thirty millions paid into it annually, it went on swiminjjly for many years. And so pleased were the directors with the management of its officers that they presented N. Diddle, the Pres., with a set of silver plate which cost twenty thousand dollars. No trifling gift truly. Well when this Bank that had been such a great blessing to the United States nnd the friends of which made out that we could not do without it came to Ih; wound up, what was the result ? Perfectly insolvent. So there is no telling what a Bank, a firm of Merchants, or any othar concern has made until all the bad debts are deducted and all expenses incurred. This Bunk belongs to the people of the State and every tax-payer is a stock holder, and has a perfect right to know and it is his busiiie.sH to know, how it is conducted. There need be 110 fonr entertained of electing Hank men in Abbeville, tliat question is settled here, but in other Districts the Bankists are-making considerable exertions. A Tax payer. A Call.

These gentlemen are our present representatives, and so far as we have ascertained, have never giveu a vote, that has not met with the heart}' approval of their fellow citizens, notwithstanding they had the audacity and cool effrontery to vote against Elmore's Dank, heretofore known by the Act of 1812, as the Bank of the State of South Carolina ^notwithstanding, too, that this audacious Vote, was given in the teeth of a communication signed " Many Citizens,'' who claims, in the District of Abbeville, a large majority fur the Bank.

There was a caucus of Southern Senators | at the capitol last night, 011 the compromise bill, and the two amendments offered by Mr. Tcttersou Davis and Mr. Clcmeris to-day, were the result, of their deliberations. The amendment of Mr. Davis provides, that, although the territorial authorities are prohibited from passing any act in relation to African slUvery, they shall not be prevented from protecting the rights of slave property in the territory?that is, if a slaveholder goes into the territory \Vith his slaves, it shall be the duty of the local authorities to liiiti !i> tl"? ..r . 1 ^ ...... ... *??v vtf uriiiiiij/ vi auni ajavv.'>. That's a pretty brond amendment. The second amendment, or that moved by Mr. Clemens, provides that the line of the Rio Grande, all the way up to its source, including Santa Fe and four-fifths of the ancient New Mexico, shall be the boundary of Texas; and that all that pnrt. of the State lying North of 34 N. L; shall he an Indian territory, into which all the Indians infesting the State of Texas shall be moved, at the Government expense. This is also a pretty broad ameudmc-nt, and, like the first, makes an awful hole in the bill. Mr. Footo, to-day, finished his defence of] me bill, without the amend incut of Mr. Davis, the great object being to prove this course consistent with himself ;u> a Southern man. Mr. Clemens took him in charge, aiul instituted a rigid cross-examination of the consistency of the General, and, however the General may have suffered, the Senate were exceedingly amused, frequently breaking out into explosions of laughter, lien ton joining heartily in, and the galleries as heartily cooperating in the merriment. Mr. Jefferson Davis was brought into the controversy, and from some remark of his, relating to a recent letter, signed by General Foote, it was evident the question was tending to a personal issue, when Mr. Butler wisely interposed, and on his motion, the ? ? " " 1 . . ???.-> j<unipom;u nil aionuay, JUKI tile i Semite went into executive session. We take it that these two amendments j put a bad face on the compromise?that I they cannot paw, and that without them, ! some ten or twelve Southern Senators will oppose the bill. The North, therefore, must conic to the support of Mr. Clay, or his chances are bad. The prospect of the compromise is gloomy enough. Fred Dour/lass Thrashed.?Tlic New York Globe, under the head of ".unblushing impude nce and merited minishmr?nt " ?riv.?? . # ? -- i the following account of what happened on Friday last, in Broadway : " Fred. Douglass, the impudent ncarro who has of late taken upon himself the privilege of abusing our country, its patriots and Constitution, withont having that chastisement which he so richly merited at the hands of our republicans, who would coudc>eend to notice his blasphemy and negroisms, had the audacity yestt-.rday to walk down Broadwav, the principal promenade in our whole iil>, with two white females resting on his arms. Several citizens, who h:ul iir?t.?u>n<l t!ii? disgraceful scene, followed the impudent scamp to the battery. On observing that he was watched,the negro commenced laughing and sneering at the gentlemen, who were behind him. One of them could not withstand the provoked and justifiable temptation to award to the negro that punishment which his daring rascality had subjected him to. The gentleman stepped up to him and politely requested the females to leave their ebony companion and place themselves under the protection of a gentleman who was standing near by. The wonlen very quietly did as they were desired to do, and then the indignant and insulted gentleman administered to the back of the negro a " dressing" that he will have occasion to remember some| time hence. Maddened justice forgets ihe dictates of law in a case of this kind; and personally, we can see no reason why it should not."
