will require the appropriation of upwards
of$200,000 to correct, and which claim
theacimediate attention of Congress.
lirreflecting on the proper means of defending
the country, we cannot shut our
tyfes to the consequences which the introduction
and use of the power of steam
upon the ocean are likely to produce in
wars between maritime States. We can*
not yet see the extent to which this power
may be applied in belligerent operations,
connecting itself as it does with recent
improvements in the science of granery
and projectiles ; but we need have no fear
of being left, in regard to these things,
behind the most active and skilful of other
nations if the genius and enterprise of our
fellow-citizens receive proper encouragement
and direction from Government.
True wisdom would, nevertheless, seem
to dictate the necessity of placing in perfect
condition those fortifications which
are designed for the protection of our
principal cities and roadsteads. For the
defence of our extended maritime coast,
our chief reliance should be placed on
our navy, aided by those inventions which
are destined to recommend themselves to
public adoption. But no time should he
lost in placing our principal cities on the
seaboard and the lakes in a state of entire
security from foreign assault. Separated
as we are from the countries of the Old
World, and in much unaffected by their
policy, we are happily relieved from the
necessity of maintaining large standing
armies in times of peace. The policy
which wasjadopted by Mr. Monroe, shortly
after the conclusion of the late *war
with Great Britain, ofpreserving a regularly
organized staff sufficient for the command
of a large military force, should a
necessity for one arise, is founded as well
in economy a* in true wisdom. Provis.
ion is thus made, upon filling up the rank
^ and file, which can readily be done on
any emergency for the introduction of a
system of discipline both promptly and
efficiently. All that is required in time
of peace is to maintain a sufficient number
of men to guard our fortifications, to
meet any sudden contingency, and to encounter
the first shock of war. Our chief
reliance must be placed on the militia.
They constitute the great body of national
guards, and, inspired by an ardent love
of country, will be found ready at all
times and at all seasons to repair with
alacrity to its defence. It will be regarded
by Congress, I doubt not, at a suitable
tirn??, as one of its highest duties to attend
to their complete organization and discipline.
The state of the navy pension fund requires
the immediate attention of Congress.
By the operation of the act of the
3d of March, 1837, entitled "An act for
a/ln.iniat*n>i/\n nT t hp
iuwic ci^uuauic atiitiiiiiouaiiui' ?navy
pension fund," that fund has been
exhausted. It will be seen from the accompanying
report of the Commissioner
of Pensions^hat there will be required for
the paymment of navy pensioners, on the
first of Iqly next, 884,006 061-8, and on
the first of January, 1842, the sum of
860,000. In addition to these sums, about
86,000 will be required to pay arrears
of pensions which will probably be
allowod between the first of July and the
first of January, 1842, making in the
whole 8150,006 061-8. To meet these
payments there is within the control of
the Departments the sum of 828,040,
laaving a deficit of 812196 001-8. The
public faith requires that immediate provision
should be made for the payment of
these sums.
^ In order to introduce into the Navy a
desirable efficiency, a new system of accountability
may be found to be indispensably
necessary. To mature a plan hav.
in?? for its obiect the accomplishment of
o ^ I
an end so important, and to meet the just
expectations of the country, require more
time than has vet been allowed to the
Secretary at the head of the Department.
The hope is indulged that, by the time
of your next regular session, measures of/
importance, in connexion with this branch
of the public service, may be matured for
your consideration.
Although the laws regulating the Post
Office Department only require from the
officer charged with its direction to report
nt the usual annual Session of Congress,
the Postmaster General has presented to
me some facts connected with the financial
condition of the Department, which
are deemed worthy of the attention of
Congress. Bv the accompanying report
of that officer, it appears that the existing
liabilities of that Department beyond the I
means of payment at its command cannot j
be less than five hundred thausand dollars. I

public service confine the expenditure to
its own revenues, deficiencies therein
cannot be presented under the usual estimates,
for the expenses of Government.
Jt must therefore be left to Congress to
determine whether the moneys now due
to contractors shall be paid from the pub.
tic Treasury, or whether that Department
tihall continue under its present embarrassments.
It will be seen by the report
of the Postmaster General that the recent
lettirvgs of contracts in several of the
States have been made at such reduced
rates of compensation as to encourage
the belief that if the Department was relieved
frr?m evistinrr diffirnltips. its fntnrp
HV"VM ?.w? ? ^ * ~ ,
operations might be conducted without
any further call upon the general Treasury
. .
The power of appointing to office is
one of a character the most delicate and
responsible. The appointing power is
evermore exposed to be led into error.
Witli anxious solicitude to select the
most trustworthy for official station, I
cannot be supposed to possess a personal
knowledge of the qualifications of every
applicant. I deem it, therefore, proper,
in this most public manner, to invite, on
the part of the Senate, a just scrutiny
into the character and pretensions of
every person whom I may bring to their
(
I ibh m m i ? ? ?? ttiu?u
notice in the regular form of a nomination
for office. Unless persons every way
trustworthy are employed in the public
service, corruption and irregularity will
inevitably follow. I shall, with the greatest
cheerfulness, acquiesce in the decision
of that body, aid, regarding it as wisely
constituted to aid the Executive Department
in the performance of this delicate
duty, I shall look to its "consent and advice"
as given only in furtherance of the
best interests of the country. I shall also,
at the earliest proper occasion, invite
the attention of Congress to such measures
as in mv judgment will be best calculated
to regulate and control the Executive
power in reference to this vitally
important subject.
I shall also, at the proper season, invite
your attention to the statutory enactments
for the suppression of the slave
trade, which may require to be rendered
more efficient in their provisions. There
is reason to believe that the traffic is on
the increase. Whether such increase is
to be ascribed to the abolition of slave labor
in the British possessions in our vicinity,
and an attendant diminution in the
supply of those articles which enter into
the general consumption of the world,
thereby augmenting the demand from other
quarters, and thus calling for addition
al labor, it were needless to inquire. The
highest considerations of public honor, |
as well as the strongest promptings of hu- j
manity, require a resort to the most vigorous
efforts to suppress the trade.
In conclusion beg to invite your particular
attention to the interests of this
/district. Nor do I doubt that, in a liberal
spirit of legislation, you will seek to
advance its commercial as well as its local
interests. Should Congress deem it to be
its dutyjto repeal the existing Sub-Treasury
law, the necessity of providing a suitable
place of dcposite for the public moneys
which may be required within the District,
must be apparent to all.
I have feft it to be due to the country
to present the foregoing topics to your
consideration and reflection. Others,
with which it might not seem proper to
trouble you at, an extraordinary 6fcssion,
will be laid before you at a future day.
I am happy in committing the important
affairs of the ,country into your hands.
The tendency of public sentiment, I am
pleased to believe, is towards the adoption,
in a spirit of union and harmony, of such
measures as will fortify the public interests.
To cherish such a tendency of
public opinion is the task of an elevated
patriotism. That difference of opinion as
to the means of accomplishing these desirable
objects should exist, is reasonably
to be expected. Nor can all be' made
satisfied with any system of measures.
But 1 flatter myself with the hope that the
great body of the People will readily un- ,
ite in support of those whose efforts spring
from a disinterested desire -to promote
their happiness; to preserve the Federal
and State Governments within their respective
orbits ; to cultivate peaie with all 1
the nations of the earth, on just and hon
orable grounds; to exact obedience to the
laws ; to entrench linertv and property in <
full security; and, consulting the most i
rigid economy, to abolish all useless expenses.

We learn from an advertisement in
the Fayetteville Observer, that a Seminary
for young Ladies was incorporated by
an Act of the General Assembly of North
Carolina at its last session, under the
name of "Floral College." It is located
in Robeson county, near the western
border, and will be opened on next Monday
under the superintendence of the
Rev-John R. Mcintosh and Miss Caroline
M. Jewett. The plan of this Institution
embraces a complete course of
liberal education extending throughout a
period of four years, and closing with a
Diplomti and a Degree. The arrangements
me, in all tcspects, those usual
in Colleges. The location is represented
as healthy and the expense very small, as
may be learned from the advertisement.
We have the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with Mr. Mclnlosh and
consider his connection with the College
as a recommendation. Indeed we regard
with sincere satisfaction the establish
ment of such an Institution so near to
us. , .
North Carolina is not very boastful,
but we rather think, that the practical
utility of her legislation for a. few years
past, in reclaiming her waste lands, in
facilitatingcommunication between different
parts of the State, and in providing
the means of education for her citizens, I
might put to the blush some of her bragging
neighbors uh) are in the habit of
affecting a contempt for her, and a large
part of whose legislation consi.Mts in the
establishment or overthrow of political
dogmas.
We have not seen any political newspaper
(except the "Intelligencer" of Washington)
with which we are so well sat.
isfied as we are with the "American
Sentinel" of Philadelphia. It is a
temperate and dignified supporter of the
Party called Democratic in the nomenrda
In re which now obtains. There is a
Lone of good sense, true wisdom and elevated
morality pervading the Editorial
' .? t . i _ i_ _ |
D-partment ana tne selections, wnicn is
refreshingto the sp'.rits depressed by the
multiplied evidences, every where furnished,
of a fearful obliquity in the moral
sense of the American people. If more
of the leading secular papers throughout
tlie country had been like the Intelligencer
and the Sentinel, their seasoning
would perhaps have prevented, in some
measure the putrefying process which
seems now to be going on in society.
Although these remarks were not induced
solely by the subjoined article tiken from
the Sentinel, they were commenced with
the design of introducing it. We like
it because it sheW6, that the specious but (
mischeivous dogmas of modern reform i
called the glorv, but in many respects, i
the shame and blight of the age, have
not taken captive all minds. Doubtless ,
important progress has been mace in (
natural and perhaps in political science,
but from the theological, moral, and much 1
:>f the social reform so called we most '
devoutly pray "Good Lord, deliver us."
But to our extract;
There is genuine and sensible philosophy
n this observation of Sir Walter IScctt: 1 ra
Liter suspect, says he " that children derive
impulses of a powerful and important kind, in
bearing things that they cannot comprehend; i
and therefore that to write dotcn to children's
understanding is a mistake; set them on the <
scent, and let thorn puzzle it out." <
One of the most fatal mistakes in modern i
education has been this, writing down, and i
talking and teaching down to the comprehen- i
?ion of children The favorite theory of late
vears has been, that children must be reason- j
ed with, convinced, persuaded, made to un- 1
derstand the reason of every thing dec.? '
Whereas the great aim should be to discipline i
Lhem in habits of submission and obedience. I
They should be taught to do thus, because 1
sominatided by paper authority, and to believe ]
thus and thus, because the superior understanding
of the teacher or parent affirms it. i

The meeting of the Democratic Party

resolution is of so extraordinary a character,
that we give it entire.
Resolved, Thai Congress having no
authority under the Constitution to incorporate
a National Bank, if such, an lnstitution
he incorporated, tee hold that the
Charter may at any time he repealed and \
the Bank abolished.
The argument in the case of Scire

Monday the 31st ult., Judge Butler will
take time to decide the question which
the case presents for his arbitrament.?
Whatever his decision may be, the case
will go to the Law Court of appeals, or
if, as we suppose, it involves the Constitutionality
of the late act under which the
proceedings are had, it must come for final
adjudication before the High Court
of Errors. The argument of the Hon. H.

to have been ? one of the most brilliant

the disastrous intelligence, of which the following
is an accurate summary.
The Minstrel left Limerick, Ireland, on the
21st of April last, for Quebec, with one hun.
[Jred and forty-one passengers emigrants, in.
tending to settle in Canada. The vessel had ;
a tolerable passage up to Tuesday last, at four j
o'clock in the morning, when she struck on
Red Island Reefl There was a heavy sea
running at the time, but the boats wero
launched and made fast to the fore chains.
Upwards of one hundred passengers embarked
in the boats, but their doom was
quickly sealed; the vessel heeled off" into
deep water and went down stern foremost, so
suddenly that the "painters" of the boats
could not be cast off, and the people who had
embarked in the boats perished, with their
equally unfortunate companions on board the
ship, except four passengers, who alone of
upwards of 150 souls, remained to tell the sad
tale.
These eight persons had embarked in the
jig, which was towing astern, and fortunately

succeeded in pulling to White Island, where
they remained till the following day, when

constitutionality of a National Bank,
should be considered, we (hink, as one already
placed beyond controversy. Touching
the expediency of such an institution ;
little need be said. If the present condi- j
tion of the currency does not furnish evi-!
dence enough of the evil which thecoun-1
try must suffer without it, there is noth- j
ing of efficacy that could be argued to
make the case plainer.
The Nationallritelligencer, a few days
since-republished a letter from Mr. Monroe,
on this subject, written some ten
years ago, in which his opinion in favor
of the constitutionality of a bank, as a fiscal
agent of the government, is explicitly
declared. The following letter from Mr.
Crawford, in reply to one addressed to
,-Jnm by Mr. Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania, is
equally to the point. It may be remarked,
that Mr. Crawford, besides the hijih
claims which his . character and genius
possess upon the public regard, was able
to speak on this question with all the light
of eight year^ experience in the Treasury
Department. His views, therefore, arc
those of a practical man, as well as of asagacieus
statesman.?Char. Cour.
Woodlawn, Dec. 1831.
Dear Sir?Your friendly letter, on the
subject of the United States Bank, has
been received bv due course of mail,
j The opinion, which I formed of the Bank
I of the United States, when I was a mem
j ber of the Senate, was the, result of a
j careful examination"of the Constitution of
the United States, made without any pre- 1
conceived opinions. That ia recorded
in two speeches which I made in the
Senate, in the year 1811. Sinpe that
time, I hare had no occasion of reviewing
i this question. My opinion rexain un1
altered.
. I was Secretary of the Treasury more
than eight years, and during that 1 had
ample evidence of the great ability of the
Bank of the United States, in managing
the fiscal concerns of the Union. I am
persuaded that qo man, whatever his preconceived
opinion may be, can preside
over the Treasury a year, without being
deeply impressed with the expediency of
the United States Bank in conducting
the finances of the Union.
The provision in the Constitution,'
which gives Congress the power to pass
all laws which may be necessary and
proper to carry mto effect the enumerated
powers, gives Congress the right to
pass the Bank Bill, unless a law most
proper to carry into effect the power to
collect and distribute the revenue should
he excluded by that provision.
The oppohents of the constitutionality
of the Bank place'great stress upon the
word " necessary*" contained in the
grant of power, and insist that no law can
be necessary but such, that without which
the power could not be carried into effect.
Now this construction appears to me to
be indefensible." It does seem to me,
that the words 44 Necessary and proper,"'
cannot exclude a law that is most proper
to carry the power into effect. Yet the
unconstitutionality of the Bank can be
pronounced only upon that construction..
It does appear to me that the framers of
the Constitution never could have inten.
ded to exclude the passage of a law most
proper to carry a power into effect because
it might be carried imperfectly into effect
by another law. My construction of the
grant of power to pass all laws which may ,
be necessary to carry the enumerated
powers into effect include the power to
pass all which are necessary and power to
carry the enumerated powers into effect
in the most perfect and complete manner, *
and not in an incomplete aud imperfect
manner.
I have seen a complete development of !
the President's plrfn of a Bank. It is pos- |
sible that by his plan, the transmission of i
the revenue may be effected, but the safe- 1
ty of the public depositee cannot be effec- J
ted by the President's plan. The advan- J
tagesof this security to the public incaU |
eulable. It ought not to he relinquished, t
unless it can he substantially proved that 1
the Bank of the United Slutes is uncon
stjtutional.
This, I think, cannot be satisfactorily
shown.. My speeches are recorded, and
can be republished if necessary. They I
contain the result of the best investigation
I was able to give to the subject. I 1
am persuaded 1 could not improve upon a
it, now, if I had the means of investiga- c
ting the subject, which I have not.
I am, Sir, your friend, &c. 13
