ana wee President from uevovinS In any event OH
The House of Representatives nf the United States
The resolutions OF Georgia. transmitted to the House
were referred to "a committee of three, comprising
two Jackson and one Adams gentlemen. The com
mittee as was to be expected, reported at length in
favor of such an alteration of the Constitution as
would prevent the election, in any event, devov-
ing on Congress. The report, which was certany y
an able one, was in the morning laid on the table,
and taken up in the afternoon for decision, when af
ter some discussion, the question taken on its
adoption, there were thirteen in favor of the report
and t'oenty sir Tor two to one) against. Resou
tons non-concurring with those of Georgia, were
introduced, and adopted. 90 to IA, and subsequent
ly passed Council with but three dissenting votes
Thus was a plan, designed to chain New Jersey tc
the car of a southern policy, which had been wei
concerted. overturned by the unanimty and firm
ness of the friends of the Administration in the LIE
|gislature.
Having attentivey read and re-read the cores
pondence and the proceedings of the court martial
we have no hesitation to avow our decided conviction
that there existed no authority for retaining the mil
tia in question in service longer than three months
and that consequently the men who were shot, un
der the sentence of the court martial and by orde
of Gen. Jackson, were put to death without warrant
of law. Such is the truth--let jealous partizan
distort or disguise it as they may, such neverthe
less, is the truth--as shall hereafter fully
show No common sense construction of language
and law will warrant such nferences and conclusion
as the military committee. have made. We woult
heretofore hardly have believed that the veries
pettfogging attorney of an inferior county court cou
have summoned up impudence enough to sustain hin
in the attempt to palm on the public such palpab
sophistry. tHenceforth we will allow greater scop
to our credulity York Recorder.
| MONEY MARKET.--T Philadelphia Gazett
of Monday says: "There is at present deman'
for money which has MOI often been equalled in Phil
ladelpha, and which has come upon as a thief i
might season. We do not believe that the time 70
the general explosion, is yet come but such crisi
as this demands great energy and decision. TIL
banks must support the merchants, to the utmos
extent of their ability. In this way, our CONNER
cia community may be brought through their peril
in safety.
| SPECIE.-We stated a few days since that tw
hundred thousand dollars in specie had been receiv
Jed here from Philadelphia. We now learn fror
the Boston Daily Advertiser, that about the sam
amount was drawn from the banks in that city, 0
Thursday last, for New York account. The spe

Isteam boat Fulton, from Proyidence.-Ne0v For
Gazette.
The present demand for specie, is one among tn
thousand other reasons, which might be adduced
1 favor Of protecting home industry. The prese
4 rates eof exchange between this country and En-
land, being much in favour of the latter, that OF
merchants find ii to their advantage to make the
Remittance in specie. While this state of thin.
shall continue, we must expect to see the vaults
our of our banking institutions drained, to pa
debts contracted in Great Britain, for articles
which, with liberal encouragement by governmen
could be Just as well manufactured in our own couI
try. As it is the duty of the head of a family
take care of his own household, so, we contend,
lis the duty of government, to nurture and protet
its own citizens. How much better it would be fo
the great body OF our people, if, instead Of th
precous metals being sent out of the country to pa
for the productions of foreign countries, they wer
divided amongst our own industrious mechanics an
artizans for goods fabricated here. If the preseI
ldranof our specie should continue, the distress
will bring upon our Atlantic cities, is beyond cac,
lation-there is no telling who may not be RUNE
by its deleterious effects.-Marylander
