SSO New York, Thursday, February 23, 1843. ——— — SS Herald Literary Depot, All the new literary publications of the day, issued on the cheap cash system, are for sale at the HERALD LI- TERARY DEPOT of CHEAP LITERATURE, North West corner of Fulton and Nassau streets. Call, see nd buy From Washington, Our private accounty from Washington continue to be very interesting—not so much in reference to the two great parties, as to the movements of Captain Tyler and the guard. Weare positively informed, that in spite of all the rumors of changes, removals, &c., nothing is yet settled in the White] House. It is yet doubtful what ehanges may be made in the cabinet— doubtful if Mr. Webster can be driven out— doubtful if Mr. Cushing can be pegged i One thing is, however, certain. The contest be- tween the Captain’s guards, including the “ consti- tutional part,” and the locofocos, is waxing hotter and hotter every day. The general expectation in the White House is, that the Captain and the guard can capture the “old democracie,” or rend it into a thousand fragments. The mass meeting called by Major Noah, next month, at Military Hall, is to be the first great gun. Tne Somers Case—Srrance Facts coMING ovT —Boys BasGep as Grousr.—A most singular deve- lopment was made in reference to the conduct of Commander McKenzie, before the Recorder, yes- ter, on a writ of habeas corpus. It will be feund in another column. On the home voyage of this celebrated craft, from St. Thomas to New York, it appears in evidence, that Commander McKenzie double-ironed several naval apprentices, and had them tied up, besides, in bags or sacks, asjyou would shot grouse. Is this specimen either of naval discipline, or of the humani- ty of the Commander? The astonishment of the court and audience was unparalleled. No wonder that it was so. We beg, for heaven’s sake, that the Court Martial will hasten to acquit Captain McKen- zie—approve hisconduct—and let him have a chance of safety and peace, before it is too late. More facts of this kind will raise a storm that cannot be allayed by the theory of Professor Espy—and it may perchance hasten the Millennium before the 2ist of March, the day set down by Prophet Miller. ‘Tue Lispenarp Case.—The summing up 1n this great and exciting case, will commence this morn- ing, at 10 o’clock. The speeches will proceed in the following order:—The Hon. Willis Hall will commence on the part of the defence. He will be followed by Mr. Charles O’Connor for the plaintiffs. Then Mr. David B. Ogden on the opposite side ; and the concluding speech by Mr. George Wood for the plaintiffs. These gentlemen are probably not surpassed in le- gal talent and ability by any members of either this or any other bar in the United States; and the im- mense importance of the present case will probably call ferth some of the finest specimens of forensic eloquence that have ever been given in this coun- try. We shall send ourreporters, and give a full and impartial report of the speeches delivered, as also of the Judge’s charge. The interest and excitement of the case are upon the increase, and will continue so until the decision of the jury is known. Governor Acatn.—Captain Tyler intends, it is said, to appoint Noah Governor of Wisconsin. Noah was once Governor of Grand Island, which he managed with great skill, and is therefore well acquainted with the duties of the office. We are infavor of Governor Gil Davis, of Coney Island; but as Noah hashis old robes on hand, covered with second hand lace, we interpose no objections. Tus Prize Ficut Trraus.—There will be no extra session of the Oyer and Terminer in West Chester county,'to try the persons indicted as con- cerned in the Prize Fight at Hastings. The next session will be held at Bedford, on the fourth week in April. The Court is held alternately at White Plains and Bedford . Atthe Special Circuit Court, held this week at White Plains, the fifteen cases against the Corpo- ration of this city, for damages incurred by citizens of West Chester, by the overflow of water on the breaking of the Croton Dam above Sing Sing, were all postponed, owing to the absence, in Europe, of Mr Cartwright, the engineer, who is the principa] witness for plaintiffs. Disconps aT A Concert.—Quite a flare-up took place the other evening at a concert given in Phi- ladelphia, where the Seguins and Shrivall sung. We cannot get exactly at the merits of the case through the newspapers—but it appears that Seguin was cool and careful of his owninterest, [Why not?] and Shrival! quite sentimental, excitable and elo- quent. Shrivall hasseveral amiable eccentricities. Can any humane person give us a correct account of the fracas 7 Honsemansuir.—The riding schools are very fashionably attended this winter. That one conduct- ed in the upper end of the Bowery, by Professor Davis, is giving great satistaction. Mr. Davis isso au fait in his profession, having for many years superintended the best menage in London, that his pupils in horsemanship learn as much in one month asis usually done in two or three. His attention, courtesy, and skill fare rapidly filling up the chool. New Juper or THE Surerion Court.—The Hon. A. Vanderpoel has been nominated Judge of the Superior Court, in place of Daniel B. Tallmadge. He willbe confirmed. Mr. Vanderpoel is a man of talent and integrity—in spite of all the jibes and jeer of Wall street. ‘Tue Hon. Peter A. Jay.—The different Courts adjourned yesterday, out of respect to the memory of this distinguished member of the New York bar. Numerous resolutions were passed appropriate to the solemnities of the occasion, and to the great worth of the deceased Mesmerism in Porrrics.—Daniel Webster, with his hands over Captain Tyler's head, so that the lat- tercan’t give the “ old democracie” all the spoils they want. James's New Nover.—Of all our popular novelists, James, if not the most brilliant, is decidedly the most agreeable. No one leads us with such win- ning and attractive manner to the olden days of chivalry and romance, and we nev r weary of him asa guide. His last novel, ‘ Forest Days,” is devo- ted to the recital of the exploits of the bold yeoman, Robin Hood—the hero of a hundred ballads, and legendary tales. It is one of the best things James has yet written. The Harpers and Mr. Winchester bave both issued it, and the quarto edition of the latter,and the octavo of the former, are both forsale at one shilling, at the Herald Literary Depot. Winchester has also issued the second parts of “« Martin Chuzzlewit,” “* Tom Burke,” “ L. 8. D.,” “ Windsor Castle,” and “‘ The Loiterings of Arthur O’Leary”—all in one extra New World, for twelve and ahalfcents! For sale at this office. Panx Crmous—Gossin’s Benerit.—To-night being set apart for the benefit of John Gossin, the inimi- table and laughter provoking Clown of this estab- lishment, we advise all those who wish comforta- ble seats, to secure them during the day, asa tre- mendous rush may be antictpated in the evening.— Mr. Gossin is well and favorably known in his pro- fession,wnd has had no small share in the mirth which has nightly pervaded the Olympie, and to- night he is to ask for his reward. ‘The box book will be open during the dey (p> We again acknowledge our ol) Walions te Pomeroy & Co. for Albany papers}in advance of the and to Adams & Co. for Boston payers Tue Ceteration Yesrerpay.—The anniversary of the birth-day of the “Father of his Country,” was celebrated yesterday in this city, with the usual enthusiasm and patrioue feeling. There was the customary display of flags at every corner, and from the mastheads of the ships in our harber. The in- clemency of the weather somewhat eclipsed the splendor of the out-door military displays ; but am- ple amends were made at the ball-rooms and public assemblages, in the evening. The exercises at the Tabernacle were the most varied and the most interesting, on many accounts. There was an extraordinary commingling of milita- ry splendor, music, eloquence, bright eyes, tempe- rance and poetry, forming altogether such a feteas only such a city as New York could manufacture. Long before the hour of commencing the exercises, (7 o'clock P. M.,) the Tabernacle was thronged, from the platform to the ceiling, by a dense mass of all ages, and in which the ladies were particularly conspicuous, in numbers, beauty, and elegance of dress. The whole tout ensemble was indeed striking in the extreme. The gay trappings of the military —the splendid flag—‘air and lovely members of the Young Ladies’ Hope Society—the platform, crowd- ed by the clergy, lawyers, doctors, and many of our most respectable citizens—the equally diversified appearance of the vast assembly in the body of the house and the galleries—all made up a picture of surpassing brilliancy. After some pieces of music had been executed in the first style, by the band from Governor’s Island, and the entry of the Washington Temperance Guards, the company of National Cadets, and Ist Compa- ny of Nassau Guards of Brooklyn City, the Rev. Dr. Pisg, delivered his oration. The subject was one already pretty tolerably worn to tatters—‘ The character ot the Immortal Washington,” but his re- verence dressed it up with a wonderful profusion of elegant garments, woven in the looms of fancy and imagination. These holydays orations, however, and more’s the pity ! don’t look very well on paper, and so we must mercifully refrain frem attempting to transfer the Doctor’s florid imagery and flowing thetoric to our columns. Then came some pretty music, after which James R. Wurrina, Esq. presented, with a number of ex- ceedingly appropriate remarks, a splerdid flag, bear- ing a copy of Sully’s celebrated painting of ‘‘ Wash- ington Crossing the Delaware,” previous to the bat- tle of Trenton, painted by A. D. Browere, of Brook- lyn. This flag is really a splendid affair. Then came more music from the band, and the “Star Spangled Banner” was sung by the Ladies of the “* Young Ladies’ Hope Society,” with great sweetness and effect. Then the sentry at the flag was relieved, and more music burst from the band. The Hon. T. Fretincuuysen then delivered his address on the “ Effect of Temperance on the Mil- itary Character of a Nation,” but it was somewhat prosy, though very unexceptionable in language and sentiment. More music followed, and then came the presentation to the Ist Company of Washington Temperance Guards, of an original letter and a splendid engraving, with the autograph of Father Mathew, the apostle of temperance in Ireland, of a Chapel built at his individual expense, in an elegant frame, by the Rt. Rev. Dr. John Power. Thanks were returned on the part of the Guards by the “Ken- tucky Poet,” Wm. Wattace, Esq. More music and singing followed ; and then the immense assembly dispersea. A great number of balls were given in various parts of the city, Amongst them that at the Tivoli Saloon was the most magnificent. It was, indeed, a superb affair. It was strictly a naval and military ball, and seldom have so many of our most distin- guished naval and military gentlemen met ina ball room in this city. Never was any festive scene graced by a more brilliant array of “gallant men and bonnie lasses.” The decorations of the splen- did saloon—the lights—the supper—the entire ar- rangements, redounded in the highest degree to the credit of Mr. Denman and the managers. Dancing was kept up till an early hour this morning, and the gay scene will long live in the recollections of those who were fortunate enough to be present. City Intelligence. Tz Somers Boys.—The examination under the writ of habeas corpus, before Recorder Tallmadge, was resumed yeaterday morning in the Court room of the General Sessions. He stated that he had de- cided to discharge McKinley,{on the grounds previ- ously alleged by his counsel,and published on Tues- day morning in the Herald. The Acting U. S. Dis- trict Attorney offered to prove the recognition ef several of the prisoners whose names are registered onthe rolls. The counsel for prisoners contended that they were entitled to their discharge under the law that regulates master and apprentice,and then of- fered testimony to show the cruel treatment they had received from Com’r McKenzie, while on board the Somers as prisoners. That they were double iron- ed, and then placed in bags, the tops of which were kept closed until the prisoners complained of suffo- cation, when they were partially opened. That this treatment continued until within two days sail of this port, and was of such a harsh and tyrannical character, thatas apprentices, they were justly enti- tled to their discharge. . The recital of brutaltt as- tonished all present, and the Recorder signified his intention to give an opinion this morning. Tuomas Parks, well known asa thief and burg- lar, who escaped last week while in transitu from the Police office to the lock-up prison attached to the Watch house, was re-arrested yesterday mor- ning on “ The Points,” by watchman Pullis, who deserves the thanks of the community forhis energy 1m securing this rogue for that justice that he de- serves at the hands of the law. Nisto’s Concerts a La Musarpv.—The first of these concerts went off brilliantly on Tuesday even- ing. Mrs. Sutton was in finer voice than we ever heard her. The cavatinas were splendidly exe- cuted, and loudly encored. There is a purity and richness in her tones,and a masterly execution in her singing that carries her far above all others. Signor De Begnis was more than usually effective in his songs, and was wellreceived. The duets between Mrs. Sutton and the Signor were eminently success- ful ; and the duet, ‘‘ When a little Farm we keep,” was repeated with the greatest applause. Signor Martini made a successful debut—his voice isa rich baritone; and in his duet with Mrs. Sutton, he ap- peared to great advantage, and as well as in his aria, received deserved applause. The orchestra was excellent, and their beautiful execution of the last new waltzes, both in the concert room and promenade saloon, delighted everyone. The next concert! will take place on Friday, (to-morrow) and from the great pleasure manifested by all on Tues- day, there will be a crowded auditory. Apropos— we should like to hear De Begnis and Martini in a duet. Mr. Eprror— Ihave been fined $3 by the Corporation Attorney, forcasting coal ashes upon the pavement in the first ward, in order to prevent persons slipping down. My informer is Mr. Baylis, the inspector of this ward. Please be so kind as to inform me through ‘our columns if this worthy street inspector gets one alf for informing, and his regular salary in addi- tion—for, if 80, I think in these dull times the mer- chants should rise en masse, and petition for redress. A Surrersr. Tue Weatner is a mixture of every thing disa- Breeable. Now that Espy, the “Storm King,” re- Ceives a salary trom Government of $2000a year, we hope he will lose no time in bringing about an improvement in our climate. We certainly should have more seasonable weath- er now that we have a paid Government regulator. From Fioripa.—We learn that the post at Palat- kawas to be broken up, and also all the posts in East Florida, and the troops are to be removed to Tampa Bay to await further orders. Cuatuam Tueatre.—The name of Mr. Mossop appears on the Chatham bill for a benefit to-night.— The bare announcement of this talented gentleman we should think sufficient to fill every seat in the house. Mr. J, Wallack, with a host of other talent, has volunteered to assist the beneficiary, and the bull, with the east of characters, inay be considered one of the beat of the reason Superior}Court.

On examination, we find this morning that there have thus far been examined ninety-five witnesses. ‘This is the ninth musing to witness the flutter, and of “ Heralds” this morning in the court room, as the Judge, jury, counsel, witnesses, peeple, and all, were reading overthe report and account of yester- ‘passage d’armes.” EVIDENCE FOR PLAINTIFFS RESUMED. Dr. Vatentixe Morr sworn and examined. Mr. O'Coxnon.— What is your profession, Dr. Mott? Dr. Morr.—I have been a surgeon for nearly forty years, m one of the Medical Faculty of the Univer- sity, I have frequently seen, and known, and read ol cases of idiocy. Mr. O’Connon.—Dr. Mott, have you ever known an; cases of congenital weakness, or imbecility of mind,to be fol- lowed by a developement of the intellectual faculties after a lapse of ferty years? Dr. Mort.—No, sir, | never have. ‘Those persons stated to be idiots are bern such, they never afterwards be. come intelligent. There some remarkable cases of congenital imbecility in Switzerland. Mr. O’Connon.—I said“ forty years ;” but Alice Lispe- nard was forty eight years of age when she went to Mr. (ig fifty-five when she died. That is all, Dr. lott. Gen. Saxronn did not cross examine. Mr. O’Conson here offered in evidence several deeds,&c. He then called Dr. James McDowatp.—I was for many y of the Bloomingdale Insane Hospital, and ha ‘under ution of the kind. ve seen Persons, both in this country in charge mi and also in foreign count Mr. O’Connon.—Have you ever known any cases of con- genital weakness, or im! alter the age of puberty, by any particular developement or improvement of the mental powers? Dr. McDowacp.—I never have. Such a fact would be altogether an anomaly. 1 believe it was _ Mr. O’Connon—From birth to puberty are they some- times capable of being taught many small matters? icDonaup.—Most idiots are capable of being taught to acertain degree—in such matters as are in a manner mechanical, and do not involve the exercise of the higher faculties of the mind. They havea degree of memory ; can betaught to do many trifling duties, to run of errands, &c. Mr. O’Connon.—Have they the faculty of reflecting ? Dr. McDoxatp —They have net; they are unable to reflect. Being further questioned by Mr. O’Connor, the witness proved the very high reputation of a work by ie oe Seed of Edinburgh, relative to this general subject. Rosrat Manning, Esg.—lam a lawyer ; | know Robert Stewart. Mr. O’Connor.—Have you ever heard Mr. Robert Stew- art say any thing relative to the value of the estate left by Mr. Anthony Lispenard ? Mr. Mansinc —I have heard Mr. Robert Stewart, on one occasion, say that the estate of old Mr. a nard might be said to amount to about $600,000. This was said more than twenty years ago. Dr. Granam.—In answer tolquestions by Mr. O'Connor, Dr. G. stated, [ have had much knowledge of the value of real estate in this city. In 1906, I believe that the Lispe- nard property was worth $10,000,000. The estate con- tained sixty or eighty acres. There was some laughter here ; as Mr. O’Connor insisted that Dr. Graham, whois quite aged, meant not $10,000,000, but $1,000,000. ‘Dr. G., however, persisted in his statement. Mr. O’Connon here nestep. i Derence Resumen. Mr. Jonatuan Hatrieip, (aged.)—I reside at 111 Charlton street. Theold estate of Mr. Anthony Lis nard waschiefly in astate of meadow. The principal im- provements on this estate were made by Mr. A. L. Stew- art, after old Antheny’s death, and were begun before the last British war. The witness here went on, sometimes in a very humorous manner, to give a sort of historical account of the state and condition of the Lispenard part of the city in ancient times. Ezexie, Yeom: I have for thirty years or more known the Lispenard meadows. This witness testified to the desolate and unimproved condition of the ancient Lis- penard estate, and to the extensive improvements made uponit by Mr. A. L. Stewart. Mrs. Sanan Ann Stewant recalled.—Being questioned by Gen. Sanford, Mrs Stewart steted that previous tothe former examination, she did make certain papers or me- moranda respecting the evidence of witnesses. This was necessary, for the reason that I was the only member of the family who could attend to the case when it was be- fore the Surrogate—one member of the family being ab- sent in onecountry, another in another, and as to Col. Webb, he had sufficient to do to attend to his paper and politics. I wasthe deputy lawyer inthe case, if you will ‘allow me so to express it. These memorenda contain nothing but what the witnesses themselves stated. Cross-examined by Mr. O’Connon—What was the date of your father’s death? Mrs. Srewart—The date of my father’s death was 29th March, 1838. In relation tothe papers spoken of, some of these witnesses declined receiv! ii them; nevertheless | did leave the papers with such witnesses, in order to re- fresh their memories as to dates. Judge Oaxiry—Gentlemen, do we understand that the case is here closed on both sides? * Counsex on both sides—It is. The Court here adjourned, to nity to pre; merrow ( ive counsel an opportu- their speeches, which will commence to- jursday.) Literary Notices, Tue Artisr—A monthly Lady’s,Book. The num- ber for March is just issusd, and commences the se- cond volume ef this popular periodical. The ‘“ Ar- tist’* was the first to introduce into this country, and to spread before the public,those most beautiful em- bellishments called ‘“‘Engravings in color.” They have been universally admired by the public, and their merits fully appreciated. In this present num- ber the wreath encircling the address is one of ex- quisite delicacy and neatness; the colonng is beau- tiful. The plate of the lutest Paris fashions is aleo one of equal neatnessand good taste. The plate of colored flowers is most admirable, as also another colored plate, “the Countess Hortensia.” As to the literary contents, they fully sustain the high re- putation which the Artist has justly acquired. This periodical has become one of great popularity with the ladies, who are best qualified to admire and ap- preciate the superior delicacy and beauty of the embelishments. Published by F. Quarre, 64 Reade street—$3 per annum. Granam’s Macazint.—The March number of this standard work has just come to hand. The plates, as usual, are of great beauty.

Gopey’s Lapy’s Boox, for March.—Both this and ¢he last magazine, by Israel Post, Bowery.— This number is one of unusual excellence, both as to the beauty of its embellishments and the literary character of its articles.

Stringer, 155 troadway ‘Washington. pocnanneeeame eeawntt) ne Wasuincron, Tuesday night, Feb. 21, 1818. y General Jackson’s Fine—Bankrupt Repeal Bill—Repudiation and Assumption—— Minister to China, The subject of the assumption of State debts and repudiation, is evidently becoming more and more asubject of immense interest, as you stated in a leading article the other day, which article has been the subject of much talk among the members of both Houses. To-day, in the House, the very first business that came up was this very question. Oa the old motion to print 10,000 copies of Mr. Inger- soll’s report, adverse to the $200,000,000 State Stock project, Mr. Tuomrson, of Miss, made a flaming speech. And ashe isthe exponent of the views of all the south western States, I send you his speech very full. Mr. Tompson said—Mr. Sreaxen—In the course ofthe debate upon this subject, adisclaimer has been made by gentlemen on the other side that nothing personel was meant towards the representatives ot Mississippi on this floor. Therefore, Sir,these remar ks must have been made purely as an attack upon the State which I have the honor to represent, and it is in that view that I desire now to an- swerthem. In my reply, I shall confine my remarks en- tirely tothe defensive, and will not be betrayed into an attack on one of the other 26 States. It is enough for me thata State has acted—that she in her sovereign ca- pacity has willed athing pertaining tw her internal police, and! feel bound to admit that she cannot do a dishonora- ble act. In the Supreme Court of the United States, the justices regard the decisions made by the highest judicial tribunals of the municipal regulations of the State as binding on them. ‘The policy she may adopt may be destructive of her beat interests, but not dishonest or dis- honorable. These twenty-six States, I trust, will stand by and sustain each other; and shouldan effort be made to fix opprobrium upon any one, the others will rally round and sustain the suspected party. Instead of that, have we not seen an anxiety in some of the States, and even on this floor, to fix a stain on Mississippi, instead of hearing her defence with patience and kindness, like sisters gan grene with jealousy at her former unrivalled broepee are swift in the expression of their opinions of her fall, and evince an anxiety that all the world should unhesita- tingly and uncharitably condemn her. Some of the ‘States who annually rob her by virtue of your plundering protective policy of more than sufficient to poy every dollar of interest which may be annually due on allof her public debts, seem delighted to publish te the world her imputed dis: honor. ‘Treated in this way, for all such expressions of opinion and attempts at chastisement, she entertains the most sovereizn and ineffable contempt. The gcntleman from N. York assumed first that the Legislature and the Governor represented the State. In the second place,that the Legislature had passed a law authorising the subscrip tion of $5,000,000 of stock in the Union Bank, and to pay for that stock had authorised the issue ot $5,000,000 of bonds, pledging the State for their payment. In the third place that theGovernor did issue $5,000,600 of bonds for the State of Mississippi; 4th,that the Bank received them as the agent of the State, disposed of them at par, and now that the money was squandered, it was the duty of the State, in good faith, to acknowledge and pay them. | hope I state the gentleman's argument with fullness and all fairness. (Granger nodded.) In the first place, I d that the ley ture and Governor represent the Stat anunqualitiedsense. We have a Constitution! and that is the paramount law. Itfixeslimits to the action of the Legislature, and when it goes beyond those limits, its acts void. Every friend of Constitutional Go- vernment will yield this positioa. With the most liberal construction of State Constitutions, thea, I the proposition thus, thatthe Legislatture and Governor re resent the State in all actsexcept such as are expressly lenied to them, and all the world is bound to know what powers are denied to them. In the next place I deny that the State ever passed a law authorizing a subscrip: tion of $5,000,000 ot stock for the paymeatof which the State authorized the issue of $5,000,000 of bonds, pledging its faith fortheir redemption. It is true a dill of that cha- racter was read three times in the Legislature of 1839. But before a bill pledging the faith of the State for a loan for payment of a debt can become a law,and receive the sanc- tion and effect of law, our constitution requires now, and required then, that the bill shall be read three times by two distinct consecutive Legislatures, and in the mean time, to be published in three newspapers in the State. When the Legislature of 1838 adjourned, this bill had been read three tsmes, and was inthe way of becoming alaw. But it was no more a law than the bill on your table creating an Exchequer is a law, having been read twice, when the Constitution requires it to be read three times. The Constitution required this bill, pledging the faith of the States, to be read six times; and to call it a law when ithas only been read three times and that in onc legislature, is an outrageous fraudjin legislation. Next, 1 deny that the Governor signed the Bonds of the State when he signed the Union Bank Bonds, and affixed the sealof the Statetherete. What he did was without au- thority, it wasa fraud onthe people, a violation of their constitutional rights, andtherefore nulland void Next I deny that the Bank was the agent of the State when she received these Bonds, and disposed of them in the market; because the Governor had executed them withou. au- thority, he disposed of them by delivery to the Bank without authority; the Bank received and sold them to Mr. Biddle’ without any authority from the people of Mississippi. The whole case then is this. There are $5,000,000 of honds now standing out, igned by Gov. M’Nutt, with the great seal of the State fixed thereto. When these are presented, we admit that i ‘a case is made out against us. To this we t factum. We say that these are not our act upon this issue we stand before the world. The burden of proof is upon us. We show our Constitu. tion is the supreme law of the State. To pledge the faith of the State for the payment ot jebt, this constitu- tion requires that the bill be read six times by two leg latures ; the bill in pursuance of which these were sued, was read but three times by one legislature, and was therefore no law. We look into the contract, and we see that the parc! r not only had constructive, but act- ual notice of the provisions ef the Constitution.and the in: insufficiency of the law; because these facts are em- bodied in the contract ot sale. We therefore say ou dealt with and trusted the Bank—not the State— 'e say, you must look to the Bank for payment,and not to the State. And we will give you every facility in the col- lection of your money. But to admit them as the obliga- tions of the State, would be doing violence to our funda- mental law, as well as acknowledging an untruth. This is the position taken by the Legislature in regard to the bonds, with which I most heartily concur. Now with re- gard to Gover..or McNutt’s position in this matter, whose course has been animadverted upon with so much severi- 8: The gentleman from New York must recollect that vernor McNutt is not the State of Mississippi, and the Legislature did not adopt his reasening, in resisting the ac- knowledgment of the bonds. 4s he signed the bonds, of course he can’t deny his authority, which the people do. His position is this—he asserts that he delivered these bonds to the Banks as escroits, to be valid against the State upon the performance of certain conditions recedent. One was that the Bonds should not be sold yw par. He asserts, and with truth, that they were sold below par, inasmuch as they were sold on credit, while the bonds bore interest, by which the Sta largely defrauded. He asserts that by the endorsem: the bank, the bonds were changed into sterling bonds, in violation of the law oftheir creaton. He asserts that there and collusion in ttre sale of the bonds. And lon, pprised the holders that he would resist their payment on these grounds. Years have elapsed since that declaration, and the holders of those bonds hav no effort to disprove the all The Constit the State has this provision : “The Legislature shall di- rect by law in what manner and|what courts suits <4 be brought against the State.” In pureuance of which the ‘islature passed a law giving jurisdiction to the high Court ef Chancery of all claims 7 it ; and secures an appeal to papas to the igh Court of errors and Appeals. So far as I am inform- ed, the judges of both these courts are favorably disposed toward the payment of these bonds by the State. Why have not the holders of those condemned bonds come for- ward and vindicated their rightful possession of them, in a legitimate way? Sir, they prefer to get the gentleman from New York to pour forth invective on Gov. M’Nutt, and slander Mississi Gaanorr—( of these bonds. Tuomrson.—From this circumstance, the presumption is strong, if the conelusion is not inevitable, that they dared not come to the issue. But why all this attack on Gov. M’Nutt, who is now a private citizen 7 Our present Chief Magistrate was in the Senate atthe memorable era of 1938. He resisted with his vigorous in- tellect the yes and distressed feeling which con- trolled that Legislature. He entered his solemn pro- test on the Journal of the Senate, when they re. fused to submit this billto the people in pursuance of the Constitution, against its taking effect as a law, on the- ground of its unéenstitutionality. And three years after- wards tho people of that State called him from private life, against hie interest, his wishes, and his earnest pro- testations to the contrary, into the office of chief magi- strate, as therepresentative and embodiment of the feel- ings and sentiments of the people, particularly on this sub- ject. The ground he took in 1838, the people endorsed in 1841. His protest was published in the papers of the State, and must have been known to the purchasers of the bonds, We think we owe it to the cause of constitutional liberty ippi g warmly)—Sir,] do not know aholier to take the course we have pursued. It has cost us no little effort to mamtain the int ot our institations. We have had obstinate prejudices to encounter, the frowns and denunciations of the interested to resist, and the averted looks of some of our best friends. Yet her courage has never failed—her step has not falter ed; slandered and denounced, we have but stood the firmer in ‘our purpose, waiting for ow and ample justiee. We have alone we will go. We have the mens conscia recti,and we will abide our time. Now, suppose we are wrong ; we have at least been manly, fearless and above disguise. If we are sinners, which | emphatically deny, we are bold sinners. Our courage must command your respect though our course may not meet your approbation. What we romise we expect to pay. We will not sneak out of our jiabilities ; nor preach homilies upon the sanctity of con tracts,and keep noneofour own. There are ten States of this Union now under protest, and one territory.

T! (leman from Maryland says that the question i or Repudiation But 1 say that you assume the debts of the State, to the amount of $200,000,000, then the question will be repudiation. And in ad- vance here in my place, 1 avow the sentiment, in that event [ am for’ an open, immediate an: unqualified repwdiation of the whole mass. Should this vast Trojan horse (Cost Johnson’s plan) with the en- es of destruction concealed in its cavity, be introduced 'o this hallthrough a breach in the Constitution, the id walls which fortify our liberty, the only remedy is repudiation. Aud if this remedy be not adopted, this hap- py and ne Union will soon be for ever severed in cw ‘he people of this country never willsubmit that the just should suffer forthe unjust, the wise for the un- wise, the prudent forthe imprudent. North Carolina ne- ver willsubmit to atax to pay for the debt of Indiana.— New Jersey never will pay the debts of Pennsylvania.— At the same time, sir, no man either in this House or out of it, feels more keenly for the position of the indebted States than I do; no man more willing to aid them by all Constitutional means; and may my heart cease to beat before ever I rise in my seat to h them in their difficulties. The entire jebtedness of all the States, cities, and the general go- vernment, is nearly $290,000 000; most of which is due abroad. The annual interest is near $15,000,000. The exports of domestic produce in 1841, were $106,000,000. ‘The interest to be paid, therefore, is about 14 per cent; which is greater than the profits upon the exports. It amounts to 85 cents upon every barrel of flonr, and $4.25 upon every bag of cotton. It is evident, then, thet the interest will be so much subtracted from the active cir- culation of the courtry. The effort then to meet this interest, will involve the country still deeper in distress and bankruptcy; and at last, I fear we will give ap the idea of payment as a hopeless undertaking. No govern- ment on earth, except this young giant, ever paida foreign debt of any considerable amount, and I believe never will. The Bank circulation of England is £20,000 000; her an- nual tax is £30,000,000; the annual interest upon the pub- lic debt is £30,000,000. Suppose that interest was to be paid abroad, to France or this country,’ to the Ist of Jan. 18447 It would drain England ofevery dollar of bullion in the country; and on that day her whole paper system would be involvedin hopeless rum. The purchase of a little foreign coin, a few years since, shook the bank of England to its very centre. ‘The debt of France is near pian Shea and it is well knewn that her income is in- adequate to meet the demands uponthe Treasury. The debt of Austria is $400,000,000; Russia, $250,000,000; Hol- land, $500,000,000. Spain has an acknowledged debt of $400,000,000, and unacknowledged debt ofnearly $1,000,- 000,000; and Portugal $100,000,00, But these two last Governments are already hopelessly bankrupt. Prussia has $150,000,000. And if weturn to the 8. American Republics, they have all suspended, with the exception of the Brazils, which is enjoying all the advantages of an expanded Bank circulation, which must soon explode, and leave that country in irredeemable RAPLYenCy. Now, then, sup- pose the debts of these States should not be paid. Shall we dosert our country as aband of thieves and robbers. Witnered be the heart that would conceive such a thought, and blistered be the tongue that would utter such asentiment. These States aggregated and separate- ly form my country. And the language of my heart is, “May that country be always right!” But right or wrong, I will always stand by my country. In that event, however, what would become of the gentleman from New York? Wouidhe ‘go to Texas? She has twice re- dudiated. To Mexico? She is bankrupt, and has at- tempted to repudiate her debts. Would he go to Ei land, the arrogant tone of whose citizens he h tempted to reflect upon this ftoor? to England, the reat highway robber of the world! To Eng- fand, where he would find friendly, hypocritical abolitionist, to aggrieve and oppress outraged Ireland ! to England, where 26,000,000 of pretended freemen are labor- ing and toiling by day, and shivering with cold and hun- ger by night, to pay the 289,751 Lords and proprietors of the country the interest upon her debt—a debt contract- ed_in fraud and perpetuated in the blood of her people adebt which is grinding the face of the vast millions till patience ceasestobea virtue! Englandisthe very mother of repu: ion. Thereare more stains on her history than upon that of any other nation on the face of the earth_— Ipass by her frequent depreciation of the current coin by which she defrauded her public creditors. The robbery ofthe funds in the Exchequer in the 2d Charles’s reign. The cancellation of $17,000,000 at 8 per cent, by $3,000, at 3 per cent, the foundation of her present debt. The ap- propriations by the long Parliament of the Church lands, and the restoration of those lands,twhile they retained the money for which they were sold. In 1797, she fore the Bank to suspend; then declared that the depreciated paper of that bank was equivalent to specie. Under heavy penalties, she forced her creditors to receive that pape as equivalent to specie, although it had depreciated 10, 20,30 and as low as 41 per cent below par. And by this financial operation she saved, and the creditors lost upon the debt contracted previous to 1800, over $137,000,000. Surely this is not the nation to preach good faith and punctuality in payment to other govern- ments, Willhe gotoFrance? It was here that the de- preciated assignats were raised to par by guillotining those who refused to receive them assuch. In 1797, to carry forward the campaign Cee Genoa and Italy, it wos ne. cessary to raise $56,000,000. The French 2ebt was then $966,000,000. And to raise the money, this expedient was fallen upon, without notice to the fandholders, or excuse, savethe wantsofthe army. Two-thirds of the debt was struck off, amounting to $644,000,000, etka | the public debt at $322,000,000. Here was an acknowledged repu- diation of vast amount. Spain, Austria, Holland and allthe South American republics have repudiated. Where then will the gentleman go, unless it be'te the Ottoman Porte? (A Vorce—"That’s a hard money country, Granger won* go there.”) It is true he would there meet with bright eyes and rosy cheeks in abut ce, (laughter,) and in the opinion of my friend from Illinois, the geatleman’s tastes run quite as strongly in thet direction as they do in any other. (Roars of laughter a cry of “Granger would look well in the Grand Turk’s harem.” Mr. Tomson here referred to the debt incurred by us inthe Revolutionary War, and read from the Memoirs of Jefferson, explaining and justifying the failure to provide for the payment of a large proportion of that debt ulso referred to the bills of credit issued by the se States at that period, amounting to $200,000,000, and er redeemed, and asked who in those days hai hood to censure either the General Government or ticular States for such failure. He concluded thus :— “Zhe gentleman from Massachusetts has struck the wrong key in supposing that we can be bullied into the assumption of these debts. This is not the lesson which we learned from his father ; who, as a patriot, taught us to doour duty to our country, and leave consequences to take care of themselves. His language is ours: sink or awim, live or die, survive or perish, we will stand by our judgments,and never coxnsel with our fear, And if G.Bri- tain means to be the Great Hizh Sheriff of the world, and goes upon the Quixotic ex) their debts, she will soon ition of making nations pay made willing to write upon the executions, “ Satis in full” (Roars of —) Agreat party cry in this country haa been “ confidence, confidence; we must restore confidence.” It was the ‘reat cateh word in the contests of 1840 ; and that, too, by the very party who sustained the banks in their open an! acknowledged repudiation of their debts ; this led to ade- struction of all confidence in the banks. This was followed by the failure of individuals to meet their obligations. And they claimed the same right as the banks to have their suspensions legalized. This was granted by the passage of stop laws and stay la’ in the Stat ii the shape of the Bankrupt Law, passed here by the same fell party, and which enabled individuals to’ repudiate their contracts. This destroyed all confidence between individuals. The tax payer next grew restive under his burthen, and he could not see how banks and individuals could be relieved from their debts by legislative inter ference, while the States were required te,pay the utter- most farthing upon their imprudent obligati de- fection of the tax payer impaired confidence in State cre- dit. To relieve the States this sameparty then laid unho- ly hands upon the land e, and distributed it among them. The effect of this was not to restore confidence in State credit. It disturbed confidence in this government at home and destroyed it abroad. And now comes the last scene in this drama; the issuing of $200,000,000 of the steck of the United States, when we are unable to command the meansto meet our ordinary expendi- tures ; the effect of this will be to destroy all confidence in the government itself, and a fatal stab will be given to constitu al liberty. The gentleman from Maryland asks what then shall be done. 1 say, economise your ex- penses and husband your resources—borrow no money — contract no debts—take off the prohibitory duties and the shackles to your commerce ; say to the States in a decided that we cannot take your debts on our shoulders, and worse than vain to harbor s y tothem, take your own burd eet your difficulties like men—whatever can be done, do it boldly and fearlessly. Let us a adopt for this general govern ment a permanent fina ystem, and let all depend up- on the profits of a regular industry, and in this plain way, my word for it, the country will soon be prosperous and happy.” After he had concluded, the House went into Committee of the Whole, and took up the subject to appropriate $70,000 for establishing a system of electro magnetic telebraphs in this «ountry. This was finally carried in Committee. Mr. Cave Jouyson moved that half that sum, or $15,000, be devoted to a series of mesmeric experi- ments, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury. (Roars of laughter. A Memper—Let us also inc! jude Millerism in the ap} jation. (Increased Laughter.) ANLEY.—U'll vote for it if the gentleman from Tennessee will become the subject of Mesmerism.

Be it enacted, &c. That the sum of forty thousand dol- lars, be, and the same is hereby appropriated, and placed at the diepowsl of the President of the United Stat toen able bim to ctablith the fature commercial relations be the tween the United States and the Chinese Empire on terms Sh tor Se hcaual reciprocity 3 agen paige betes ed for by the under the restrictions and in the wa parting ins metan intrest Unt ted anc forcignnations, ee ‘The restriction was stricken out. Mr, J. C. Can delivered a violent tirade against the Government and the Locofoco party, in bad jaste. Mr. Gorpon replied to him. Mr. Bronson moved to make $10,000. Lost Mr. Meniwernen moved to make it $6,000. it the appropriation Mr. Finiwore said, that they had five appropria- tion bills to act upon, which were indispentably ne. cessary forthe support of the Government. They were for the payment of navy pensions, making ap- propriations for Indian treaties, for fortifications, and harbors and rivers: and in addition to these, the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill. Nine days only of the session remained ; and, under these cir- crpasansce, he felt bound to press business upon the ‘ouse. Mr. Everert, of Vermont, doubted ey the expediency of this mission, and the mode restricted appro) 5 Mr. Apawms said he hoped the bill would be passed —he had originally reported the bill restricting the expenditure of the $40,000 according to the provi- sions of a statute regulating our diplomatic inter- ceurse, but on consultation with the Secretary of State, he had offered the propesition to strike out the restriction. He was of opinion that the sum might prove inadequate, but he had no doubt that both Hou:es of the next Congress would make vu any deficiency. He was perhaps as much dispose as any gentleman who had addressed the House to a want of confidence in the present administration, but he could not refuse this appropriation on such ground. Both the speeches of the gen- tlemen from New York, (Messrs. Clark and Gordon) had the same cast—it was deep, very deep at the bottom of their remarks, but still it was the same sort, the same objection as to want of cun- fidence. He had no time to answer all their argu- ments. He hoped the bill would be passed. Mr. Howmes, of South Carolina, insisted that the commercial interests of the nation required the pas- gage of this measure. He should not hesitate about trusting the Executive. All the speeches we had to-day, were intended to effect the spring elections, and nothingelse. _ jie Mr. McKeon admitted he would be willing to vote for a proper appropriation foran agent to go out to China, and look after our commercial inte- rests. Butas the present bill was intended to be framed, he could not support it. It was pr to strike out by the gentleman from Massachusetts, to leave the whole amount at the discretion of the Executive. He, (Mr. M’K.,) would prefer to let the restriction stand, and then, under the law, the minister’s salary would be $9,000, and his outfit $9,000. The State Depart- ment had, he believed, something like = 000 for contingencies for foreign missions, enpuaiy appropriated. Part of that sum might be. applied. But if the restriction was struck out, the discretion of the Department covered the expenditure of the contingencies and this additional appropriation al- so. The President might give the whole to the Minister. He was disposed to be liberal inthe mat- ter, but he was apprehensive we were making too much noise about this Chinese mission. It should be treated as a_matter of. business, as he had rea- son to believe European governments were acting without bustle. If, in addition to these appropri: ations, we should send out the Pennsylvania and some smaller vessels, as he had heard suggested, we should certainly have a splendid and an expensive embassy. We could accomplish our purposes of trade, he thought, by less ostenta- tious efforts. much of un- Our small fleet now in the Chinese seas, had already) gtven eome evidence of our means as a nation. ‘e would gain nothing by an extra- vagant display with that shrewd people. He did not object to the restriction in the bill becauso of the money being expended by the present Execu- tive. He thought it proper that it should be restric- ted, no matter who was the Executive. Tre vote was taken on striking out the restriction and carried. . Mr. Bronson, of Maine, moved, as a substitute for the a, faa for an agent to goto China, examine and report to this government. His mo- tion was rejected. f The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House. A 4 On the Speaker taking the Chair, Mr. Apams mo- ved the previous question on the bill, and it was sustained. _ This excited a great deal of laughter, as Mr. Apams always opposes the previous question, and never votes for it. ‘ . How ever, the question prevailed, and the bill was reada third time and passed—ayes, 96 ; noes, 59. So there isa chance for a lot of hungry office seekers to try to goto China. However, it is de- cided ; anerthern man, not from Massachusetts, is to haveit. Sixships of war are to go there.
