Nature has no tongue to tell! Aid they who study the volume of nature to learn the moral attributes and character ef the creator, shall roll over her splen- did leaves in vain. The works of God in the d pensations of His Providence, are equally ol seure tothe eye of man. Many circumstances would lead us tothe conclusion thata Being of infinite mercy is at the helm ; but aga in this aentiment darkens when the severest inflictions fall apo and we see only their effects upon uals or communities. The broad ‘outlines of Providential barely defined; the fill ' tous. From the obscure individual whose span of time is fretted to an inch, and whose existence carcely distinguishable in the scale of bei hty i g the earth alike pervading ii complicated and unseen are the hidings of his power and the achievements of his own right arm, that we know nothing surely till the fate of eitheris decided.

But they are equally inexplica- ble, asall His other works. We see before usa rel mn con! to the very nature of man, op- posed to his prejudice, and guarded by the most sacred canctions that thunder condemnation woe, temporal and eternal against the sinner ; g deeply imprinted upon all its features,a ‘at war with the baser passions of the soul xible, unbending, uncompromising—--just jon would be deemed the last to just flatter the pride of man, yet the world by the sheer ener- and simplicity; ie 1 please the makingitself felt gy and power of its truthfuln a religion that triumphs over every obstacle, and that changes its bitterest foes into its warmest friends—selecting th» basest materials for brightest pillars and most illustrious champions. We see this religion calling auxiliaries from all uarters of the earth and from every point of the leayens, elothing the weakest instraments with omnipotence, iaiby the spirituality of its doctrines subduing the nations to its mild sceptre, and erect- ing its broad standard upon the outer wall of the citadel of the world’s glory. In a word, we see the goings forth of the Eternal Mi 1 randeur with which he invests his purposes and fi w_yson t'e theatre of time, aud there wonder- fai eff-ets upon the destinies of men and nations— but the hand that holds the helm, and directs their complicated movements is invisible. How should all th ad us to humility, and a child-like trust in God, who exalts his merey above all his works—who gives wisdom to 1! imple and open his secrets to those that fear Him ? {II.—His Word. Inthe Pages of inspiratlon we have higher manifestations of the most excellent lary. Asa transcript of the mind and will of God, it transcends rey other medium through which he has condescended te reveal himself to man. Here we sec, in broad and beautifal line, the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person : Here the whole Deity is known, Nor dares a creature guess, Which of the glows brighte: The justice or the grace. His attributes Rea recto ctiens are wonderfully dis- played in His word. They come down to us illu- * minated by the rays of benignity and leve, and we bow down before them overwhelmed with their beauty. ‘The like- g, Dut still it only not the voice shone, amazing grandear.and severe be str -dimly reve: fe which spoke a world from nought, We see but the shadowings forth of that mysterious nature that dwells between jthe cherubim; a fuller and clearer manifestation could not have been made consistent- ly with the desigus of heaven and the plaee man occupies in the scale of being. A brighter and broader revelation we could not bear; our finite mature would sink under it and die with excess of light. But His word is brought down toour naked conception, and softened into the elementary prin- ciples that are to form aud guide us upto alife more suited: to our intelligent nature and noble origin fair Even thus lowcred down, how wondrous are its mighty creations its godlike qialities—its surpassing beauty Hew deep! How fathomless! How high! beyond ail buman thought. it is high as Hoa ven—what can we know? It ix deeper than Hell— what can we do? How difficult to comprehend ! Jesus tells us God so loved the world. He does not tell us the nature and éxtent of that Love! The aitribates of esh could not comprekend the height and depth, the leng h and breadth of that Love which Him inclined ‘To bleed aud die for us. All Holy Scripture was written for our learning ruction in righteousness, yet how often do the inspired writers seem to labor in communica- ting thoughts, which angels cannot comprehend! For they desire to look into these things, and are mot able. And are there not many parts of the revealed world, even the most simple and natural, which are ouly seen through a glass darkly? Human learning fails when applied to the investigation of subjects which i +} anlettered peasant by faith “apprehends and appr tiven the day-spring from 400 high shines in darkness that comprehend- eth it not. The Gospel is bat as darkness to the mere rational beluver. Its quaint phrases, com- licated prophecies, and many mysteries present separable difficulties to the enquiring mind un- humbled by repeatance and prayer. ‘Trinity in anity! Two natures ia one person—a ehild who existed before al! worlds, and that person suffering death who only kath immortality and life! All these are to reason mere riddles—they are the per- lexed oracles of this world, and though uttered f; truth itself, yet sincerely believed by none but the regenerate soul. The question of the Jewish ruler, How can these Usings be? remains unanswered to this day. ‘'o attempt an explanation of these things is not the province of the pulpit nor of the press—words of man’s mention, similitudes drawn from nature, the subtle distinctions of the schools, the powers of rhetoric, when employed in the service of the sanctuary, but seldom profit the - soul. Humility is the better part of reason. Where reason begins religion ends ; and where re- ligios ends reasojing begins. God never reasons. e Bible does not reason. Its language is, Thus saith the Lord. Vr.

The judgments ofthe Lord are wonderful. They are the fiery preachers called up from the vasty deep or from the lofty dome of the illimitable sky —they wield the two edged sword of Divine wrath, that sweeps like a comet over the round earth. How feariul! How unsearchable! The earth has sinned.

God will not be account- ableto men, but worketh allthings according to tee council of bis own will. If w for the when the bolt of the judgment shall fall—the times and the seasons belongto him The Holy One of Israel may not be limitted. His work goes on even when we think it stands still, and advances when to our senses it seemsto retrogade. Though it tarry, it will surely come. God will sus- tain his government, and though, for purpo- ses unknown to us, he may seem to i hand, and he regardless of the doings of season, he will most assuredly rt his rights, when, how, and where seemeth unto him best. His judgments are ever abroad on the earth, working the willof heaven upon man and doing the Al- mighty’s bidding in ways as countless as the motes that swim in the golden sunbeam: ‘The adaptation of the judgments of Ged are (o every son and daughter of our race upon whom rests the pressure of accountability. If upon one man the smiles ef worldly prosperity descend, and his treasure houses overflow with golden abun- dance, it is not certain that; every wind of hea- ven which wafts him wealth from thej differ- ent climestof earth, may notbea blast of winged judgment. The riches in which he glories are ruin- ing his soul, and after a few fleeting days the beggar of eternity will look back upon the moments of his earthly prosperity, as the most dreadful era of his judgment blighted life. Riches and honors, no doubt come oftener the retributive rds of long-slighted means and days of grace,t! the seals of heavenly approbation. Oh! shocking fate. To bave death end the fortune of this world, and that which is to come! One blow wrecks the pam- pered mariner, whose ship well stored with earthl: good, carries no gospel ballast to steady the frail bark over the seas, which heave and rear between this and the better land. God wiil use what instraments he pleases to effect the purposes of judgment. The death of a friend is the judgment which wrecks one forever for two worlds; the birth of an infant seals ano- ther sinner over to the world of woe. Love takes possession of one, and drives him into the idolatry and crime of passion—hatred fills another mind with deadly poison, that, like molten lead, gnaws its way into the quiek of the soul; terror, and fear, and doubt, drive another to desperation, and he leaps, a startled, frighted ma- niac, into the realms where hope never comes; pleasureand noisy mirth are the tremendous judg- ments that roll in crackling emptiness over others —they laugh and Jaugh—but oh! there is an awful sound that mingles with the shout, more sorrowful than the groan of him who mourns the loss of a bosem companion. The laughter of fools is bat the crackling of the thorns in the fires of judgment. But ob! what strange being is that I see stagger- ing under a tenfold weight ot judgment! hat has he dove that he rolls uuder such an apace | e load, that the very be: pactes—and the good ange hide their faces from hi; What has he done, that every silver star, looking sweetly and kindly from the blue depths of ether, reproach him!—that the beauteous flowers of sprin, vontradict him!—and the voice of every bird o| spring tells a different story from this? Ishe not one whom the great and wild sea wars madman of the universe? What hi What is his name? He has long led every gracious motion of the blessed spirit within him, which gently whispered him to come to Jesus ; he has added insult to insult to the Divinity above, and given the reins to the appetites of his nature, until the heaviest judgments are ready to break upon his soul—they follow him like ashadow. 11 name is Infidel. see him the astonishment and wonder of every intelligence that has power toloek upon the heart of man. He is so infatuated, that while his poor soul staggers under the fierce and withering sirroceo ‘of that spirit which riots in his bosom, he fondly dreams that he is free—that he has breken away from the slavish fetters of education, and dashed from him the bi- gotry of olden times. Poor solitary being! The religion you despised so long, for which sin you are doomed to wallow in unbelief till the pen: fires flish through your unsheltered seul—the religion you despised so long may have been the soft arm of Almighty love beneath the frame of your dying mother—it may have been the angel-wafted pillow on which your father rested his head when his throbbing temples beat their last, and then were for ever still. It may have been the chariot fof Israel, and the horsemen thereof that carried your ‘sweet children, and millions of happy saints to realms of inerested tliss. But 1 bave no quarrelwith you as you run your short course of unbelief. That unbelief is the beginning of of your everlasting pnuishment.

He also presented a memorial from the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Phi- ladelphia, asking Congress to make an Cpe for the purchase of the Bank of the United States to be used asa Custom House, stating that it can be purchased a1 a low price. If it could be made suitable he (Mr Buchanan) should be glad to see that magnificent paling purchased for the purpose designated. and believed it could be purchased for one-third the sum expended on the Custom House at New York.

House of Representatives, Moxpay, Jan. 10. Treasury Note Bit. “0 Mr. Fi.tmon® said that, under the present embarrass. edcondition of the Treasury, he felt it to be his duty to ask the unanimous consent of the House to postpone the further execution of the order for the presentation of pe- titions, in order that the Treasury Note Bill might be taken up for consieration. He had been informed by tl jecretary of the Treasury that the power heretofore exercised of issuing Treasury Notes is now exhausted, and unless other meaus are supplied, from this time forth warrants must cease to issue, They had therefore come to a point where the national honor was involved, and he hoped there would be no objection to hie motion. Mr. Aritenton inquired if the motion of the gentleman from New York was su sful, would it make the Trea- sury Note Bill the order of the day until disposed of, and so interfere with and prevent the Committee of the Judi- ciary from reporting to-morrow the bill to repeal the Bankyupt Law ? ‘The Sreaxen said it weuld be optional with the House to morrow whether to go into Committee of the Whole, ornot.

Mr. Fittmone then moved that the order of the day be postponed. The Sreaxen decided that a majority could not post- pone the execution ofan order voted by two-thirds. It would rquire a like vote to postpone. Mr. Boro asked that the vote might by taken by tellers. . Curtrenven demanded the yeas end na: which were ordered. Mr. Meniwernensaid he did not wish to throw him- in the way of the an no other member objec rable member from New Yor withdraw his objection. Mr. Gornan—I object. ‘The Sreaxen said there were various other gentle- voted. ‘The yeas and nays, on suspending the rules,were then taken, and were yeas 145, nays 44—so the rules were suspended Mr. Frutmone then moved that the Honse go intocom he whole on the Treasury Note Bill; which nd Me | Horxixs was call the chair. id, when the House were last in committee the p ideration, was an ainendment, providing for the application of the pro- ceeds of the public lands to the extinguishment of the ublic debt. When he had submitted this amendment, ¢ considered itto be in order ; but upon reflection, he had arrived at a different conclusion. But were it in order, he had satisfied himself that to press it now would only tend to weaken both the bill andthe amendment, as he knew several gentlemen who weuld vote for a re- peal of the Distribution Bill, if offered as an amendment to some other preposition, who were not willing to post- pone or endanger the passage of the Treasury Note Bill, by affixing it to that bill as an amendment. “He would, therefore, withdraw the amendmeut, and let some other gentlemen take the responsibility ; and a heavy reapon- sibility it was of withholding supplies from the Govern: ment in the present pressing exigencies of the Treasury. Mr. Fiumone then offered an amendment to the hilt, to strike out the words “ in liew of those heretofore or herea‘ter adoptet ;” which was agreed to. Mr. Wetten said, notwithstanding what had been re- morked by the geatlemen from Virginia (Mr. Wise) he felt it his’ duty to submit an amendment to the bill, em- bracing a pertion of the amendment just withdrawn.— He had not voted heretofore for Treasury votes, whea they were asked for, to anticipate the revenue, as a tem porary pieasure, but he wes opposed to authorising them without making some provision for their redemption, — yu erefore offered an amendment as an additional sec- tion providing for arepeal of the bill fer the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands among the States, and to appropriate the amount derived from said s tothe redemption of the ontstending Treasury es, as well as those authorised by this act. Mr. Fiutstore objected to the amendment as out ofor- similar amendment had been proposed at the ex- tra ion, and roled to be out of order. Mr. Prorrrr said he would have been glad ifthe gen- tI-man from Ohio (Mr, Weller) had followed the exam- ple of the gentlemas from Virginia (Mr. Wise) and with. held higemendment, bet he could not imagine how it was outoferder. The Government called on them for fande, and they said you have al realy funds. which ought to be applied to the discharge of your liabilities, Was notthis in order? Suppose he applied to s friend fora loap of one hund:ed dollars, and he asked him ifhe hadnofands, He would say 7% he had five hendred Collars, which his la ty had made him promise shouid be invested for his children. His friend would say, m llow, take yourown money, and use it, before you ask tohelp you. Hv thought the amendment to be per ty in order, though he should vote againet it on0 , (Mr. Fillmore) he would Wimone suggested that the 0th role— eto a point oforder. The Chair had on the point of order raised, and until aid he wished only to sug id that suggestions were the best of ar- 4 ‘ain considered the point of order involved, precisely similar to that raised on the amendment ofthe gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wi While he had no doubt of the power of the house to set set apart a fand for the redemption of these treasury notes, w they ecame due; yet totake the fund contempleted im this ment, it would be necessary to repeal an oxisting a ad the amendment was therefore out of order. Mr. Currroap said he thought decision of the Chair wus im aceordence with the wishes of the majo- rity, and would therefore be sustained by the committee, but he desired to say a word in defencé of the vote be would give opainat ‘thatdecision. What was the object of the bill? It was to provide money for the exigencies of the government. hat was the object ofthe amend- meat? Itwas to provide means todischarge the liabili- ties incurred when these notes felldue. He referred to the act ef 1790, making provision for the public debts of the Union, the 20th section of which provided that the proceeds of the sales of the public lands should be ap- propriated for that purpose. This was ‘isely the object of the present amendment, the only difference being that it was necessary to repeal an existing law. Mr. Ti.tincuasr said the act of 1798 was te mako a general provision for the debt of the Union, and to io Out the various sources from whence means might be drawn, In this case it was contended that it was a mere application of means in the Treasury, but he could not acquiesce in the assertion that the proceeds of the public lands was a fund of the United States, but only as a trnstee fund. Mr. Maxwect gave notice that if the decision of the Chair was overruled, he should offer a further amend- ment, to suspend so much of the compromise act as re- lates to areduction of duties. If the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio (ir. Weller) wasin order, that Certainly would be. Mr. Wise said if the Chair had decided against his amendment, he would have acquiesced, and he thought that of the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Weller,) precise- ly similar in effect. Mr. Hou: said if the decision uf the Chair was over- ruled, he should vote against the amendment. For. though bh jered it strictly in order, yet he deemed the necessities of the country so pressing” the disgrac: ful position in which she had been placed by the extra- session—as to demand ef them immediateaction. Mr. Go atend«d there could be no incongruity, the billy was; for the purpose of contracting a debt, and the amendment to provide means for Mr. Cuances Brown enquired if it w when a bill forthe issue of treasury notes was under consideration, to efferan amendment which would lessen their amount. He trusted that the geatleman from New Jersey would also bring in his amendment te stop the Progressive reduction of duties under the compromise act. That, and the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, with tl besa Lt which was so loudly promised, would do away with the necessity of treasury notes. Mr. W. C. Jonnsow said he would sustain the decision of the Chair. As to the reference of the gentleman from Maine, (Mr. Clifford) to the act of 1790, the proceeds of the public lands were at that time brought into the sink- ing fund. because the Gen’ ral Government had assumed the debts of the States. Ifthe committee decided against the Chair, he should feel it his duty to move an amend- ment enjoining it upon this government to assume the debts of the States, at least to the amount of revenue de- rived from the sales of the public lands. Mr. Wittiams, of North Carolina, said if the amend- ery law en the statute book might be re; same way. The army might be disbanded, and the nav Rarsanticas on the plea of ap propriating the money required for their support to the redemption of treasury notes. Mr. Wier said, that while he concurred with his friend from Maryland, (Mr. Johnson,) as to the irrelevancy of the amendment, he could not acquiesce in that portion ofit reletive to the assumptien of State debts. If he could show him that the State debts of the present day— that of Pennsylvania for instance, of thirty millio making a canal within her own borders—were simil those assumed in 1790, which were contracted for national purposes, he would go for assumptio: Mr. Sairu, of Vire ia, held the amendment to be per- fectly in erder. The bill proposed to raise means forthe support of the government, and the amendment contem- ted the appropriation of the proceeds of the landsto purpose. This money was now in the Treasury, but under a former law could not be touched; yet were that law repealed, it could be used more promptly than even Treasury notes Mr. Pexpieton thought gentlemen were in error as to any money arising from the sales of the public lands be- ing inthe Treasury, as the Distribution Law did not go into effect until the Ist ofthe present month. Mr. A. V. Brown briefly addressed the Committee in opposition to the decision of the Chair. he question was then taken, end the decision of the Chair was sustained—ayes 92, noes 78. Mr. Coorrr then obtained the floor, and said he merely intended briefly to state the reasons which should govern his vote in opposition to a bill to authorise the issue of ‘Treasury notes. He had heretofore opposed bills fora similar purpose, because he considered it an insidious means of supply, and calculated to encourage extrava- ance in’ the public expenditures. If the issuance of reasury notes would not relieve the country as gene- rally as aloan,then the passage of the bill was not ad- visable; and he held that Treasury notes could effect no relief but a relict to the office holders, Ifa loan was au- thorized, and particularly if it was taken up in a foreign country, the proceeds would go into the circulation of the country, and produce generalrelief. The distresses ofthe conntry go beyond the e holders, and the peo- ple at large are entitled to relies. The Van Buren party, which, though they had repeatedly denied it, he con: tended, were the paper money party. The Srraxer called the gentleman to order, on the ground of irrelevancy, and declared that the responsi bility of permitting such a course of debate, must rest with a majority ef the House, and not the Chair. Mr. Cooren said he would not have occupied halfthe time in getting through that pertion of his remarks, if he lad not heen interrupted by the Chaii The Cuatn said it would take twice the time for some gentleman on the opposite side to answer them. Mr. Cooren said, if it took four times, he would be in order, He was going onto show that the Van Buren party, by their multiplication of State Banks. ‘The Crain again called the gentleman to order, on the ground ofirrelevoncy. Mr. Cooren appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Sraxzey hoped the gentleman from Pennsylvania would be permitted to proceed, as he considered him strictly in order. Mr. ‘Cost Jonysox moved thatthe gentleman have leave to proceed in order, which was agreed to. Mr. Coores said he was going to show that the Van Buren party had, by their incorporation of a swarm of State Banks, produced that flow it of the rot- tenness of which the present 4s and bank- ruptey were produced, as monsters from the slime of the Nile.” He was going to show that one party might sup port a continvation of the paper money polic but thar another party, who have heretofore pertinaciously op- posed thase Treasury 8, and if wrong, factiousl, opposed them could not consistently vote for the bill now before the committee. He was surprised to find that sing them, were new their aivo cates, and especially the honorable Chairman of the Comm f Weysand Means. Ona former occasion , the then Chairman of the Ways and Means came into the House every moraing with as piteousa tale as was heard the other day from the present honorable Chair- man, and yet the} whigs opposed the treasury Note Bill, and only fiveout of one hundred and ten, whigs voted for it, He was, therefore, not only surprised, but con- fsunded at the course of inany of those now in favor of this measure. It was sail that a loan could not be re- alized in time for the wants of the Treasury. He was not sure but a little adversity would teach the Adminis- tration what the overwhelming reverses of the whig party last fall seems to have failed of teaching them— the propriety and necessity of returning to those princi- ples which brought them into Bote ylf the measures which passed the two Houses of Congress at the last ses sion had bee ) carried into cffect,there would have been no necessity for a loan,orthe present bill. But he was afraidthe Administration had gone too far to retrace its steps. 1 had Stept in so far that should it wade no more Returning would be as tedious as go o'er. He tknew? that he who, by a,melancholy and most disas- trous Providence was placed at the hea of the Adminie. trationjhad been wooing the damsel locofecoism with all the blandishments which a Virginia gentleman of the old school knows so well how to se, but he thought it was a hopeless casv,as he thoughtthe party would prefer his friend from Pennsylvania (Mr. Buchenan) in the other end of the Capital, Old Baliion, Rejected himself. Mr. Wise wished to ask the gentleman from Penneyl- vania one single question, He says he knows that the I venthe Great President has oven wooing the Gameel locefocoism. He (Mr. Wise) challenged the proof. Mr. Cooren.—By his acts let him be judged. Who are his counsellors ; are they whigs ? Mr. Wiss.—Yrs, the whole cabinet; better whigs than you. Mr. Cooren Faid he would not endorse them as whigs, nor would eclaratien of the gentleman from Virgi, pia satisfy himthat they were whiga not the offi- cial orgam of the President, again and again said he was no whig, and if he was not, would he select whig coun- sellors? Mr. Wis shed to ask the geutleman from Peansyl- vania a question . Cooren sail he would answer it with pleasure, Traxiey objected to this mode of inturrupting gen- Mr. tleme: Mr. Wr aid he asked the gentleman from Pennsyl- vania to yield the floor, and he would not ask the gentle- man from North Carolina to do ao, Mr. Staxiey said he knew ho would not ask him, and if hedid he would geta refusal. The Cuare said it was perfectly in order for a gentle. man to yield the Ador for the purposes of explanation. Mr. Were saidthe gentleman from Pennsylvania had courteously yielded the floor, and be would not abnse the privilege. He called on the gentleman for his proof ii ertion that the President had becn making over. locofoce party, and he did not wish mere rpar oe. ‘he Sigevand had asserted it neeearape to be a fact of his own knowledge, and he wished for the authority on which he based ssertion. He (Mr. Wise) cared not who asserted it, he contradicted it, and he challenged the proof. Mr. Cooren said these little love passages take place in secret, and the billet doux are not permitted to meet the public eye; but sometimes ods and winks tell the state of the affections ax effeetually as if signed by John Doe and Miss Amy Roe, (Great laughter.) Look at the appointments made by the administration. Mr. Paorrir hoped that it was understood that th wonld be an opportunity given to answer the remarks the gentleman from Pennsylvania. tainly. certainly. that of the whole diplomatic corps eon appointed but one of the friends abroad, there hed of the President.

Now he (Mr. Protfit) knew the Pr dent, and he knew that he would leave any ship of any party, no matter how gallant her array, ond trust him- selito'a plank on the great ecean of popular sentiment. He denied thatthe President had ever diretly or indi reotly made any overture, either directly or indirectly, to amy party or facti Mr. Cooren—He did not pop the question. Mr. Prorrit—If he had a question to pop, he would pep itanls popped the veto. There was no sneaking out ef back windows, (laughter) or letting the ten days pass ‘over, buta plain, open and manly meeting of every re- sponsibility. He thought the proper course of debating this question, would be to ascertain whether che means ‘were wanted for the treasury, and then whether the could conscientiously vote them in the form presented; and net to be intertwiving great national questions with Hie party politios of theday. . r. T. F. MaxsHaxt said he had a great aversion to be eresged into this treasury note policy, and he had risen to ask the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, whether he had re knowledge ef his own, in- cpenen of the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, which induced him to believe that the loan authorized at the last session was not negotiable in the domestic market. He had not risen to provoke the wrath of the Exeentive, or any of his organs on that floor, or to pre- voke the President to pop against that House, but if he wished te make a pop, he had a pop-gun ready. (Ro: of la ghter.] le did not recognize, think President was willing to —— onthat floor, who were the keepers of his and ex 0 his Cabinet counciller This had been re- toi of thunder, which Y y vet ceased their reverberations. He had risen to ask the Chairman of the Ways and Means, to state ifhe had any information of his own, independent of the letter of the Secretary, which led him to believe that there was no practicability of negotiating the re- mainder of the loan in the domestic market. m1 Mr. Fittatoae said that, in addition to the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, he had been permitted to ex- amine the original correspondence on which it was d, and he was convinced that there was no reasona- ble probability, if even there was a possibility of obtain ing money on tha it were extended for twelve y foreign market. additio n the commit- on this point, peculiar friends conscience, colleag more skeptical than he wi a letter to one of the principal houses in and he would send the answer to that letter to the Chair to be read for the information of the com- mitee. A letter from Messrs. Prime, Ward and King was read, stating that a government loan could not be negotiated at less than 7 per cent interest, and that $10,000 of the 6 per cent loan had been sold on the date of the letler at 95 cents en the dollar. Mr. Fitumore said the representative from the city of Boston had received a letter from the Hon. Abbott Law- rence, with a substantially similar statement. Mr. Mansact. said, then they were informed by Prime, Ward and King that a loan could not be negotiated at less than 7 per cent, and it can be had for that, and on this state of facts they were asked to issue Treasury notes, and did any one suppose that they would circulate ata less interest. No one supposed that T'reasury notes could be cireulated by a forcible process, and shave the public creditors ofone percent. This might be a very neat financial operation, but it involved more thana questien of policy—it involved the national honor. For one he would sooner resort to direct taxation than toa system so detestable. Nothing would inflict so deadly a blow at the credit of the nation, and he thought there might as well be a clause introduced into the bankrupt law, to include the general government within its pro- It resulted, then, that nothing could be saved ing treasury notes, except we intended to blic creditor out of the difference, and for himself he preferred that the government shou!d raise the means it wanted ona loan, ven theugh it should cost seven percent.

These officers, by means of a “stool-pigeon,” in their keeping for the detection of rogues, received information that a suspicious trunk had been placed on beard the schooner Mary Bright, commanded by Captain Bright, now lying at the head of Smith’s lock, bound for Richmond, Va. A State’s warrant was immediately issued by Justice Snyder, who with the above named officers, upped to the ves sel and found the articles, neatly done up in straw matting and placed in a large leather trank. This trunk, it seems, had been, early in the morning, put. on the schooner, during the captain’s temporary ab- sence, by a young man who gave it in charge of a colored seaman.
