9 though that hill had been reported, and < was different from this, he would vote for < ?hebill now under consideration* His I reasons for doing so, he would condense J us briefly as possible. . j He believed that Congress had power j to establish a National Bank, or a Fiscal 1 Agent, as you may please to call It. He j considered the power, on the part of Con* I gress, to be a closed question. When he < could believe that the Congress which j first passed a bill?that Washington, who J first signed a bill?that Jefferson, who I signed a bill to establish a branch of the i first bank?that the Congress that passed I the second bank charter*?that Madison, i who signed thecharter?that the Supreme Court, that has decided upon the question, f end the concurrent acquiescence of the < People of the United States for forty vrairfl. were all ignorant of the Constitu* J , ... c tion, and had been willing to violate it? f when he could believe this, he would doubt, ( the power of Congress to establish a Bank, but not till then. t The question of power being settled in j this rapid and summary manner, he had t but a word to say, and time would allow him to say but a word, as to the expedien- t cy of the measure. He thought the measure of establishing a bank necessary. A bank could not make business, currency, b exchanges, and the custody of the public tj money worse than they are now. A i, change will be an improvement, and the J experience of the past and the wisdom of the present point to an institution of this e kind as equally important to the opera- ^ lions of the Government and the business p transactions of the People. Public ne. cessity and public interest all require the passage of some measure of this kind. Had he the power to frame a bill, he * would make it different in many p&rticul- ' ars from the present. He would prefer a Jfe bank with branches of circulation, with s power to deal in exchanges, and believed that such an institution would answer the purposes of the Government, and would 5 give a good circulating medium and equalize exchang s. He had no time to discuss the subject, and could but now say that he would vote for the present bill because it seemed to be one most agreea- tl l?l? tn n mainritv. nnd he Could not llODe to 3 ? *?J J ' f> ' effect his wishes in the details of such a ti measure. Some measure was necessary. The public interest united with the public voire c in loud demind for its passage. He t| would cheerfully ) ield to the requirements of both, and sustain the measure. Having v said this much, he could bur express the n hope that the measure would pass this c House, and finally become the law. He v had now two minutes left of the five, by ^ the Shrewsbury clock, and he would let some one else appropriate them. a The hour of 1*2, having arrived, the h Committee; in pursuance of the order of w the House of Wednesday, last, proceeded, without.further debate, to vote on all amendments " pending or that might be offered."

The third American Temperance Convention I commenced its session, in this town, on Thursday, the 27th instant, and closed its proceedings, on the 30th inst. at six o'clock P. M. This body was composed of 550 delegates from the several States ?Georgia and Alabama were represented among the Southern States, and Louisiana and Tennessee among the Southwestern. All of the Eastern, Nothern and [Middle States sent their representa. tives, with Michigan Iowa, from the Far. west.

The principle measures adopted, were the for. mation of a General American Tempei ranee Union.

In the consideration of this question many anecdotes were related of the facility witli which wines, of all descriptions were imi. tated,and of the mischevious consequence; r which resulted from the use of the siraulated articles. It was stated, that it had been ascertained,, that in order to render the inferior qualities of whiskey more pungent, oil of vitriol had been introduced as an ingredient; a sure precursor of a short life to the drinkers. It was also related that an extensive vender of wines had acknowledged, that he had purchased a barrel ofwhiskey froma merchant in one of the large cities, at 31 cents, and, in 24 hours afterwards, converted the same whisky into manufactured wine, and sold the new article for pure foreign wine, at $2 per gallon, to the identical merchant from whom, when whisky, it had been purchased. It was truly appalling to hear of the detections which had been made of the mixture of the most deletarious drugs in wines and liquors, considered peculiarly choice.

Mr. An.her wa9 right in taking issue with Mt. Calhoun as to the sentiment of Virginia respecting the disorganizing doctrine of repeal. The doctrine will be repudiated by a very large, and the most respectable portion of the Van Buren party. The people of Virginia, in the mass, are a moral law-loving people. They con sider the maintenance of the public and the scantity of private property essential to the preservation of the Republic.? They believe, too, in the sovereignty ol the people, and their capacity for selfgovernment?both of which this new and. monstrous doctrine substantially denies These new light politicians will And they have made one very great mistake in re* sortingthis desperate expedient to sustain themsehe^.?Rithnoid WAg. i. 3ives us pleasure to state that all our anticipations of the unpopularity of the odious and agrarian doctrine of "Repeal," as proposed to be applied to a Bank Charter, ifone should be granted by Congress and become a law, are already more than realized; and, what is more gratifying still that so far from its being made a party question, the leaders will have the greatest difficulty in preventing an immediate and indignant outbraek in the rank and file, in opposition to their prepoeterious idea, and their more wicked agitation.? A specimen of this we have lately had in a neighboring country, where the trammels of party allegiance we are at once snapped when such a doctrine was made the test of orthodoxy. Mr. Archer said right, the Other day, when he affirmed that tkis pecies of nullification would be more repudiated in Virginia, than any that had preceded its promulgation. We made the same assertion in the beginning when this cry of Repeal was first raised by the underlings; and our confidence in its rejection has not lessened now that the potent voice of Mr. Calhoun has been raised in favor?a voice, we lament to say, heard so often on so many sides of so many questions, that it has ceased to carry any longer with it, its wonton authority. Asa party weapon, we would desire nothing better to wield against the agitfttors, than this same Repeal. It would be a mace in the hands of the Republican champions with which to beat down their adversaries past the power of raising. The people of this country area law loving, and law abiding people.

Hope Ac Co., of Amsterdam, notice that "this state never will pay the five millions of dollars, issued in June, 1638, or any portion of the interest due, or to become due thereon. "The money" he says "paid for those bonds did not come into the state Treasury. The officers of the Government had no control over its disbursement. The bonds were disposed of in 1838, by collision and fraud, in voilation of the Consti* tution and laws of the State. The Jl/ississippi Union Bank, and the Bank of the United States, were parties to this uulawful transaction.

It is stated in the Boston Post that a meeting of young men in that city, called to take into consideration the reason why so many of their fair young fellow citizens are afflicted with such feeble health, are unable to uso only moderate exercise, i - n i _iP ! ^ xl ! i ana are so onen cui on in me prime 01 life, and brought to a premature grave? after much discussion, a thorough investigation, and very minute observation of the i subject, unanimously arrived at one conelusion, and that is this, viz: feebleness and inability to use violent exercise, and palefacedness, arises from the deleterious i use of stays, which they lace around their i bodies enormously tight, almost to sufFo- 1 . cation. As far as we are able to ascer. . tain (they say in their report) it is done to improve Ibeir forms, hut in our opinion it very mufch deforms them ; and while i they try to make their waists as small as i possible, they are using the best possible method to waste their comfort, happiness, ! and even life itself. After a serious consideration of these astounding facts, the > meeting unanimously adopted the followi iDg resolutions, viz; Resolved* That we will not have anyi thing to (fa with any young ladv whom _ ? _ - A I ire know to be in the habit of wearing stays. Resolved, That upon becoming no quainted with a lady it shall be our first duty to inform ourselves if sbd is in the babit of wearing those " woman killers." Resolved, That if we should be so unfortunate as to be smitten with a young lady whom we know to use thuse said articles, it shall be our first duty to request her to dispense with them, and if she refuse, it shall be our duty to avoid hef iocieiy. Resolved. That a knowledge of the fact, that the lady does not wear stays* shall . t>e a prerequisite to an engagement. . Resolved, That in our humble opinion, we consider this one of the most purely , benevolent, and philanthropic measures ever set on foot by man. Resolved, That every member of thi* society shall oonsider it his imperative duty to use every laudable effort to add daily to its numbers. Resolved, That this society shall be called the Boston Toung Men's Anti-Stay* Lacing Society. DIED. At the residence of her father near Society Hill, S.
