9 though that bill had been reported, and < was different from this, he would vote for t 0hehill now under consideration* His 1 reasons for doing so, he would condense J ns briefly as possible. 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 poirer, on the part of Con. ! gress, to be a closed question. When he < could believe that the Congress which 1 first passed a bill?that Washington, who ] first signed a bill?that Jefferson, who i mltwnaA ft hill to establish a branch of the i ?6" first bank?that the Congress that passed I the second bank charter*~?that Madison, 1 who signed thecharter?that the Supreme Court, that has decided upon the question, | tend the concurrent acquiescence of the < People of the United States for forty Vears, were nil ignorant of the Constitu. tiom and had been willing to violate it? | when he could believe this, he would doubt, , the power of Congress to establish a Bank, but not till then. I The question of power being settled in j this rapid and summary manner, he had j t but a word to say, and time would allow him to say but a word, as to the expedien- ( cy of the measure. He thought the measure of establishing a bank necessary. A bank could not make business, currency, t exchanges, and the custody of the public t money worse than they are now. A j change will be an improvement, and the ] experience of the past and the wisdom of - - * | (lie present point 10 an inmuuuuu u? t kind as equally important to the opera- ^ tions of the Government and the business ^ transactions of the People. Public necessity 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 particulars from the present. He would prefer a 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 ! give a good circulating medium and equahze 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- f ble to a majority, and he could not hope to ? effect his wishes in the details of such a t measure. Some measure was necessary. The public interest united with the public voice ( in loud demand for its passage. He ( would cheerfully y ield to the requirements of both, and sustain the measure. Having y said this much, he could buf express the ' hope that the measure would pass this ( House, and finally become the law. He , had now two minutes left of the 6ve, by . the Shrewsbury clock, and he would let some one else appropriate them. 1 The hour of 12, having arrived, the I Committee; in pursuance of the order of 8 the House of Wednesday, last, proceeded, withoutTurther debate, to vote on all a mendments " pending or that might be offered." The first question was on the motion of Mr. Dean to strike out the enacting clause ' of the bill. * Tellers'wore appointed, (Messrs. Arnold ( and Artherton acting in that capacity ;) 1 and the question, by yeas 87, noes 13G, I was decided in the negative.

( And the question being on ordering the , ^ bill to a third reading? Mr. Arnold (doing, he said, what he never had done before in his life?moved j the previous question. And there was a second.

Should he veto the bill on the ground only of objections which can be removed, a new bill will probably be introduced into the Senate conforming to his views.

It was stated, that it had at een ascertained,, that in order to render tie inferior qualities of whiskey more pun- qi ent, oil of vitriol had been introduced as di n ingredient; a sure precursor of a short hi fe to the drinkers. It was also related lat an extensive vender of wines had ac- f< nowledged, that he had purchased a bar- 1; ;1 ofwhiskey froraa merchant in one of the ti irge cities, at 31 cents, and, in 24 hours h fterwards. converted the same whisky in- r< ;> manufactured wine, and sold the new s< rticle for pure foreign wine, at $2 per allon, to the identical merchant from tl rhom, when whisky, it had been purcha- b ed.

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 this pecies of nullification would be more repudiated in Virginia, than any that bad preceded its promulgation. We made the same assertion to 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 A - ?

"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.

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 use only moderate exercise, and are so often cut off in the prime of life, and brought to a premature grave? after much discussion, a thorough investigation, and very minute observation of the subject, unanimously arrived at one conclusion, and that is this, viz: feebleness and inability to use violent exercise, and palefacedness, arises from the deleterious use of stays, which they lace around theirI bodies enormously tight, almost to suffocation. As far 88 we ar* able to ascer-! tain (they say in their report) it is done j to improve their forms, hut in our opinion it very jnufch deforms them; and while they try to make their waists as small as 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 follow, ing resolutions, viz: Resolvedt That we will not have anything to dp with any young ladv whom '?. i - * _ Ji / m tfl ' j i e know to be in the habit of wearing *yaResolved, That upon becoming acjointed with a lady it shall be oar first uty to inform ourselves if she is in the shit of wearing those "woman killers.,f Resolved, That if we should be so an* irtunate as to be smitten with a young idy whom we know to use those said ar. cles, it shall be our first duty to request er to dispense with them, and if she efuse, it shall be our duty to avoid her ociety.* Resolved. That a knowledge of the fact, lat the lady does not wear stays, shall . e a prerequisite to an engagement. Resolved, That in our humble opinion, 'e consider this one of the most purely , enevolent, and philanthropic measures ver set on foot by man. Resolved, That every member of this ociety shall oonsider it his imperative uty to use every laudable effort to add aily to its numbers. Resolved, That this society shall b? ulled the Boston Young Men's Anti-Stay* racing Society. HDHimMBMHHIi DIED. At the residence of her father near Soiety Hill, S.
