There might have been men wild enough and mad th to do this out of that House, but that ther ‘@ member on that floor that ould be willing to assume the responsibility, through all coming time, of presenting such @ qrecesinn to that House, he had not beli-ved. He had whispers, it was true, that such a petition would be presented, but he had rejected the idea with utter incredulity and scorn. Now it might be said, and perhaps had been said, t! the Congress of the ‘United States ought to thing ever, aud take no notice of it; but tothis he could not give his assent. Holding this Union as he did, to be the only pledge for, and the only means of perpetuatin the liberties of the people—holding the Union, as he did, asthe ouly means under high heaven, by which that State in which he lived, and that people which he re presented, could be preserved in safety and independ- ence; there was, in his judgment, sacrilege in'approach- ing it inthis manner. Coming from any quarter, it was sacrilege—coming from the quarter that it did, it as- sumed & politica! importance that it would not other. wise possess. He by whom the ition was made, to pull down the temple of liberty was once its high priest, and ministered at its altar, It was no obscure hand, an no obscure name thet was connected with this proce- dure. That name had gone abroad, connected with all that was bright and glorious in our country’s history.-— The enemies of freedom, who had so fondly predicted the dismemberment of this confederacy, had now their eyes turned tothe movements of that hall, and to the movements of that gentleman, in relation to @ question which, of all others presented the test danger ta our institutions, and which he would here say, did not in the slightest degree, enter into the paper which he offerred. It was that question, which that gentieman had been fonder of stirring tham any other, that had deen looked at by our enemies abroad as the means by which their desires might be accomplished. It wasa subject, he repeated, that he had never loeked at, and aever would. God forbid that he should draw a line and array the guthern mano. d the northern manon the other; but the proposit ich had been presented by the gentleman from Massachusetts to that Ho the Marthern men were bound by love of country to oppose, the men of the South. Were Northern nder any law or right, peti- tions of this sortfs! id before the Congress of the United States without censure or rebuke; that a member shall be allowed to present a qui here, and start it aga subject of legislative cousider: in that House, which looks to the dissolution of this Union? But he might be told that at the time this proposition was pre- senteu, there was cenuected with it another—that the committee to which it wat proposed to refer it, should report against it; but, in kis humble judgment that did not affect the question. If any thing it made it worse. Af, under some fancied right of petition to which so much importance seemed to be attached in one portion of the Union, the gentleman had bafely presented the petition in fulfilment of what he believed to be a solemn duty, it might alter the case; but it was proposed that it should be the subject of legislative consideration, and that a re- portshould be prepared and presented to the House in ac- cordance with the views ofthe mover. It was to become a precedent as far as it went, amounting to this—that the dissolution of the Union was a fair subject of legislative consideration, and could be brought up in thet House for discussion. It was to be adebatable question: it was to he looked upon by the eye of the legislator as within the scope of legislative functions: and this position he should meet at the threshold with the sternest possible rebuke. ‘Nad such a proposition been made by his own father, and had he, in addition to the ties that bound to him as a son, all theties that bound him to the member from Massa- ehusetts—ifhe knew his own goul—he should have pur- sted the same course that he now did. He knew that the action of this House on this subject would abread to the nations of the world, and he wished it to be shown that whatover of mischief, snd misery, and coafusion might come upen usin after yeats, at this time of the day, tne Congress of the Uni- ted States would not permit one of its members to be- come the vehicle to bring before them a proposition 40 monstrous,that it could not be acted on without honor to themselves, aud ruin to all who might com terthem. This much he had thought p r tosay on presenting this resolution. If there wee wrong in it, letthe responsibility rest where it properly belonged ‘That therecould be mischief, he did not believe. He would not harbor the idea, that the people of the North ‘would countenance @ movement of this kind.

The Sreaxen said the member from Massachusetts would now be in order to address the House in his own defence,for to move a postponement of the consideratien of the subject. Mr. Apams had very little to say now on this subject. The member from Kentucky (Mr. Marshall) after agreat variety of argument to prove that he had no personal enmity towards him. and that,on the contrary, the mo- tion now made by him, arises from the profoundest triotiam, and thet, in using all the language which the fancy of a man of ingenuity eould inventyto represent his conduct in the most odious light, he was governed ‘no other feeling than that of love for the Union.. gentleman, he supposed, thought he was makin srt dea} of political capital by his present movement ed to wait until he saw whether that House would adopt a resolntion of the kind before he called on it to allew him the privilege of defending himself. If the mtleman from Kentucky had been surprised, as he af- Fiotod to be, at his having’ brought forward that propoti. tion, he was not less surprised at the lang! he had e charge he had brougnt ogainst him, of high’ treason. Whut was high treason? The constitug +tien of the United States defined what high treason was, and it was not for that geutleman, or his puny mind,t> pr another definition of it.

He would look into the controversy between Virginia and New York, and between Georgia and Maine, in order to prove that there is a settled system and purpose to de- stroy all the prtaciples of civil liberty im the free States, not for the purpose of preserving their institutions with in their own limits, but to force their detested principles of slavery into all the free States, He would show it by documents, and show it by arguments, sothet every man in that House and in the country should be convinced of it. He would show that measures were systema- tically pursued or projected to force this country into a war with England, or the purpose of protecting the African slave trade. One of kis purposes was to show to the people that it wes time for them to take alarm, or they would be smuggled intoa war. For that purpose, the most false principles have been advaebed as the law of nations, by our Minister in England (Mr. Stevenson.) under the pretext of resisting the right of search, whic! have never been admitted into the law of na it was a matter, to be sure, of some importan what the decision of the House might but inflnitely more impertance to the section of country from whence he came—to the freemen of the Union, to force the spirit of slavery upon them.

The; would seethat there were other measures to be paride and first of all wasto restore the right of petition, for which they had been struggling for years—that same principle which the gentleman makes high treason, and the violation of which first began when petitions were excluded ‘ praying forthe abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, which Congress hed the undoubted rightto do, as wellas the suppression of the iufamous slave trade, for the protection of which they were to go to war. with England. He said) that they hada right to petition for a dissolution of the Union, and that House, had no power to suppress the right. lighe doc- trine of the gentleman from Kentucky ctioned, they would next have a declaration, that it was bigh treason to ask for the prohibition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia ; that it was high treason to ask for the prohibition of the infamous slave trade; and if a repeal of the paakrupt law hurried through without the ordinary forms of legislation was objected to, why itwasonly necessary to make it high treason. If the gentleman daclared all these to be high treason, he would not do worse than he has done. When he had re- ceived this potitien, he procured his colleague, (Mr. Saltonstall) frem whose district it came, to write home ind ascertain whether it was a genuine petition, coming < from people of respectability, and the answer having isfied him that it was, he felt it to be his duty to pro- sent ittothe House. The petitioners were of a most re spectable class in society, not perhaps of that pure arts- tocratic blood of which the gentleman from Kentucky once boasted that he came from, but good, honest, re- spectable citizen: hose opinions were entitledto a respectfulconsideration. He should ask for the printing of the resolutions, and tobe heard in his defence when thor should come up for consideration. ir. Evenxtz said that the resolutions presented by the gentleman from Kentucky, involved ene of the most mporta: t questions on principle; and in ‘heir eff-ctsthe most important consequences ever submilted to the deci- sion of that House; because ifthey arecarried, a dissolu- tion ofthe Union will be inevitably the result ‘peaceeb'y if we can, forcibly if we must.” And this not because there existed inthe Eastern States any settled intention to dissolve the Union, but that when grievances became too grievous to be borne, a remedy will be sought for and applied. Did the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Marshall) intend to say that there was no peaceable mode of dissolving the Union, if it should be deemed burdensome rnd oppressive, but that a resort to forcible means must be necessary, which might result in blood ! The Constitution prevides, when the evils of Govern- ment become past bearing, a peaceable remedy, and it was perfectly competent for the jleto take measures toeffect.an amendment. He looked upon the resolutions submitted by the gentleman from Kentucky with alarm and dread, as being the initiatory step, the consequences of which could neither be foreseen or imagined, but which were pregnant with danger to the existing insti- tutions ofthe country. He had not risen; however,to de- bate the resolutions, but to move that the further consi- deration of the subject be postponed until Tuesday next, ‘and that the resolutions may be laid upon the table and printed. It was a question which demanded the gravest deliberation that could be bestowed upon it, and it be- came them to look well to consequences before they proceeded in it. [During the delivery of these speeches, the House pre- sented an appearance of great solemnity. The ear of every member was open, and all appeared impressed with the deep importance of the preceedings. The gal- leries were oppressively crowded in every part.] Mr. Wise rose and entreated the House to hear a voice from the tomb. He prayed that the farewell ad- dress of the Father ofhis conntry might be read. ‘The House assented in solemn silence. The Crerx accordingly r the Farewell Address of ington, and at Mr, Wise’s solicitation the following passage was oga'n read :— * The unity af Governnent, which constitutes yeu one peo- ple, 1s also now deur to i u.

When the Clerk had read addross read because \d here present, would spirit of prophecy. hor told them to frown down the first dawn of ‘nion, and he pointed to » which was the most fruitful cause from which to apprehend @ dissolution of the Union—anu dat cause living have been deemed to have spoken in Thea a was foreign influence. That influeec+ «as at work on this very question in this nation att: + ond there were some that were moving on this su-j +: irom reli gious fanaticism, unconscious perhaps of the tendency oftheir own course. Mr. Eveaetr rose to a question of order. He asked whether it was in order to go into a gencral debate on the question of postponement. Mr. Wise begged the gentleman to recollect that there was also a motion to print, and he would not consent to print on this subject, and for the reasons which he would assigu. He then repeated that there were per sons operated upon in this country at this time, by vari- dissolution of the Union. Seme he be- lieved were honest, and even rel:gious—fanatically reli- gious ond sincere in their course. For those he enter- tained nothing but pity. But he believed there were po- litical parti: , who took root at the commencement of the history of thie goverument, and who have existed since that tame to this, who deliberately design to return tothe course which was parsued at the foundation of t egovernment, when there wasan English party andj a French party—a jscobin and a tory party—in this gu vernment. And it was because there was a hereditary hatred, that some men took sides with one foreign influ- ence, not only against another foreign influence, but against their own government, to its destruction.

Wise said he had not mentioned a name, but if the cap fitted ony body, let them wear it. The Sreaxan said he had followed the gentleman from Virginia very closely, and he did not see that he alluded to any membeg on that feor, to apy his remarks to any member. Mr. Evener? asked if the remarks were relevant. Mr. Anxoco hopedthe gentleman from would not interruyt he geatleman from Vii he hoped the frien’ of the gentleman from V; would not move th. previous question when he had done.

It apaper published at Boston, with the motto “Li- the rights of all—Law—its defence”—Andy it contained a letter signed “Joseph Sturge,” an emissary direct from England. The honorable gentleman then read aletter from Joseph Sturge, the English Quaker Abolitionst“Tothe Abolitioniats of the United States,” in which he avowed that he was commissioned to come to America by the committee of the British and !Fo- reign Anti-Slavery Society. Amongst other things to present fa memorial signed by Thomas Clark- son, on behalf of that committee, to the President of the United States, on the subject of slavery and the slavetrade. The letter concluded with an appeal on the exercise of the elective franchise, and with expressing the “ hope that on all future occasions, you will take care to Jn the election of none as your representa- tives who willnot practically act upon the principle that in every clime and of every color ‘all men are equal.’” Here then was a direct attempt from abroad to inter- fere with elections. And there was more in this than might at first appear; and if God spared his life he expected to see within ten years a black skin elected trom some quarter to make a test on that floor ; that was its recommendation—to elect a “nigger” to the House of Representatives, and to claim for him a right to sit there! That was terpretation of it, and this was the tendency of this English infla ence.

Parapet rata, Jan. 26, 1842—P. M. Great E.rcitement— Girard Bank Broke—Other Banks in Danger of a Run—Probable Discharge of Ex- Cashier Jaudon on Habeas Corpus—The Police. As every body had reason to expect, and as you and I have time and again predicted, the Girard Bank made a final burstup. The notes were first refused by the Bank of Northern Liberties, and shortly after by every bank in the city. The news rapidly spread, and as it spread the crowd and panic in and about the Girard Bank increased. From eleven to three o’clock the crowd atthe counter was so dense that it was with difficulty approached. The fives were exchanged for other paper, but all its bills above that denomination were refused, en the ground, as alleged by the teller, that the Bank had not the means of redeeming them. The crowd in the banking room, on the steps of the Bank, and in the street, amounted to several hundreds! The most of the circulation appeared by the offering to be above fives, consequently the loss will be heavy on the community, as it is but fair to suppose the banks took care of themselves by pretty effectually clearing themselves of it. The brokers, it is thought, were not so successful, as the news of the stoppage created such a panic among them at the Board, that it almost immediately adjourned. Somefew shares of Girard sold at $5; State fives sold at $56, an ad- vanee of one on yesterday’s sales. The holders of Girard notes were all quiet. I believe that no hostile demoustrations were made against any of the other Banks, though the Bank of Pennsyivania, I frequently heard connected with a fate like this of the Girard. The stock of the Pennsylvania is about 75 per cent. below, par, and as itisthought by some that the payment of the State interest on the Ist of February, will briag with it some trouble to it, there is a feverishness in the publie mind that would not surprise me to see break out in a fae and a rum upon it. You know as well as 1 can tell you, that no one of cur Banks can stand a run. One or two of our other Banks, whose Stocks are most depressed, were also doubtingly spoken of.

Messrs. lorrons,—Most melancholy intelligence has’ just been received by the Osage Indians, who have recently returned from the Buflalo country. They state that about the last of October, they met a very large company of Cumanchee Indians, near the Salt Plains, having in their possession the young women and children of three hundred white fami- lies, citizens of Texas, which they had taken pri- soners, having put to death the men and old roe ae It is said they treat their prisoners most inhu- manly. They offered to gell them to the Osages for a blanket for each. The principal chief of the Osages (White Hair) has now in his possession a jittle white girl, about eight years of age, which he purchased of the Cu- manchees. Yours, &c. S G. Parrerson. A News Carrier tx Trovste.—A young man named I'rancis Conselyea, feeling a desire to engage in the laudable pursuit of delivering the news of the day to the public, bargained with one of the carriers of the Express, named J. W. Barnum, for his route in the 7th Ward, and paid hiin $35 for his right, title and interest. Upon appearing to take posses- sion, he was informed that Mr. Barnum had uo right or authority to dispose of said route without the consent of the proprietors, and he therefore wended his way to the Police Office and entered a complaiat against Barnum for fraud. The matter has not keen finally settled. It will serve, however, as a caution to persons not to purchase routes of newspapers without the approbation of owners.

The younger remained behind, in order to take up the luggage to town, where he was to meet his brother, and they were to make rapid pre- parations for, and settling in, Germany. Their plans were, however, frustrated. Maurice Pitcher, upon calling at Messrs Bult’s to get the bill accepted, found himselt most awkwardly situated, a police officer named Forrester having made preparations for hisreception. Forrester subsequenly apprehend- ed Geerge Augustus Pitcher in bed, wite a bandage round hie waist, containing American bank notes to the amount of $6800, and some peienes les.

In the leading political journals of Ioudon the Measage of the President is sneered at aa “the conciliatory talk” of the “Peace-loving President,” and hope indulged that the Americans will not beso unreasonable as to resist the ‘supervision of England as the Marine police of the world.” From the present state of affairs, the shade which the political relations between the two countries throw over the @nancial world seems to have deepened, and the market was heavy to-day.
