HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.


Mr.. Campbell, of S. G. and Mr.. Gurev, of
Louisiana, appeared and took their seats yester-
day; and MIR. Stewart. of New York, and MIR.
Sewer, of Arkansas, took their seats TO day
There were forty-four. petitions and memorials
presented and referred this day.
A memorial presented by Mr.. Coulter was on
the subject of SUNDAY Mails-recommendng
that tie mail should b. discontinued on the Sab
BATH On the motion of Mr.. Coulter, to refer it
to the Committee on the Post Office and Post
Roads
Mr.. johnson. of Kentucky, objected TO giving
the petition the direction moved by the gentle
man who presented it. He observed that if the
authors Of the petition had an advocate, or advo-
Gates on this floor, he was perfectly wiling that
the Report formerly made by the Post Office
Committee on the general subject, should at any
time be called up. Let the House hear what
gentlemen mad to say on subject. which he had
always thought. and would now say, ought never
to have been brought into the Hall of Congress
He was deslrOus to hear what could be said IN
favor of Congress interfering with religious con-
sideratuns. The Committee had acted on the
subject, and it would not do so again, unless
compelled to do so by an express order of the
House. He hoped the gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania (Alr. Coulter.) would acquiesce in the mo-
ton which he would now make, that the petition
be laid upon the table; rather that it be referred
to Committee of the Whole on the State OF The
Union; and he made that motion.
MIR. Coulter said that ne felt very Indifferent
what direction should be given to the petition. -
He had always considered it proper. when the
House was addressed in a decOrous manner. on
any subject proper for legislation. to give the pc
triton respectful consideration. In the present
case. as the course Indicated by The Chairman OF
the Post Office Committee was likely to effect the
very obiect.which the petitioners had in view. viz.
to have the subject discussed, and obtain some
action of Congress in relation to it, he was en-
tirely willing it should be adopted. He had
made different motion, only out of the courtesy
which he supposed due to the Post Office Com
mittee, and in compliance with the custom of the
House. He had no doubt that the Hon. Chair
man OF the Post Office Committee was both com
petent and willing TO meet the discussion, which
it was the object Of the prayer of the petitioners
to invite. If they had an advocate in the House,
that advocate would doubtless avail himself of
the privilege of debating the question, without
being specially invited SO to do BY any one. MIR.
G.. said it was not his purpose to avow himself as
their champion. as he did not feel himself pledg-
ed to any particular course in the matterhc should
endeavOr on this, as Oh other occasions, to DO
what he considered his duty to his constituents
demanded If that duty led him to advocate
the cause of these petitioners, he should be rea-
DIV. III so doing. to meet even the gentleman from
Kentucky.

The great wee of this State paper is its prolixi
ity; ana next to that Us controversial character
with much that is useful and valuable. there is
mixed up great deal that is wholly misplaced
in such a dseument, and some things that would
be ont of place any where. Instead of plain
matter of fact statement of the condition of our
foreign and domestic relations. accompanied with
such Information as the Executive may have to
impart. and with such sugsss'ionsa as he may deem
proper the pubic interests: instead, in short,
nf stating results; this message is rather to be
looked upon as an elaborate vindIcation of the
acts and policy of the administration, and rel
trra'ion OF principles already on "A previous coca
siaa prufessed,--to be as heretofore, doubtless.
ssnally departed from in practice.

The vast length of this document precludes
all other matter and any particular commentary.
Il is joint cabinet manifesto or treatise upon the
principal debated public questions. The contro-
versial nature of a considerable part Of its con-
tents, renders its character novel and more re-
markable. Same parts Of IL should be satisfacto
~ TO all American citizens; but the mos, import
AM topics.-the Tariffsystem, Internal Improve
mrnt. the Indian Question, and the Bank Of the
United States.-are treated ina way which must
excite much discussion and discomfort. Specu-
lativelv or doctrin,llv. deep inroads upon the
Tariff and Internal Improvement policy: with
r. ard to the Indians, every thing is conceded to
G-ng which she could desire; and, however en-
pedient or necessary the course which has been
pursued By the General Government, the rheto-
rio Of the paragraphs on this subject is not very
sound. We deem all thar is said in the message
respecting the Bank Of the United States to be
de,nonstrably rruneous-whether theory or as
sertioa. 1t will not bear analysis.

OF the Presidents Message. we have not room
to speak as it deserves. 1t is too long and too
argumentati,e-written in a style too diffuse, but
is. on the whole, highly interesting and will. we
think, give pretty general satisfaction: The
weakest part of it, is that which treats of the In
dians.-The alluslon to Mr.. Clay, and the omis-
sion of Mr.. Adams name in the enumeration of
his predecessors, who have recommended the
Tariff, are gratuitous insults, alike ill-timed and
undigni6ed. -frederick>burg Are.a.

Washington signed the act Incorporating that
bank; and we should think that his opinion upon
constitutional law was worth as much as that of
General Jackson, without intending any disres
pect to the latter.
We are happy to observe. that although the
President is opposed 10 the renewal of the char
ter OF the present Bank, he makes no complaint
against the administration of it We live i'll an
age when it is considered merit not 20 do injus-
tice. We regard the United States Bank as an
important link in the chain of our federal union,
binding together some Of our most valuable ma
tioDai interests. 1t furnishes every part of our
widely extended territory with sound circuiat-
ing medium, equal at all times to gold or silver.
and often preferable TO either. for the convent
enee OF transportation. The benefits which the
bank coniers upon the nation, are said and pfac-
teal The dangers TO be unprecedented are spec
ulatlve and visionary.
The substitute which the President proposes
IN place cfthe present bank, has ao;"uuded ali
rejecting men. All history must he lost upon
US before we can aduit q measure whrc Aonld ia
volve us in the yorteA OF national bankruptcy.

Fon THE WHIe.
w. O. GoopE, Els,


S1R-In the late debate on the subject of the ap
pointment of Committee of Agriculture and Manu-
features your chief objection TO Legislative encourage
ment of manufactures, was, that they would force
capital from agriculture that branch Of industry g.
thus impure the farmer.
Permit me, sir, to inform you that this is most
,rise objection and has been retuted times without
number Po render it all available in the case oil
Virginia, and worthy to be introduced, and to have
,yc ht the Legislature, it would be necessary to
prove
l. That all the capital Invested in agriculture in
Tue State is fully employed
9 That capital so invested, yields reasonable
prof, ON itself and for the time and labor and talents
employed in the cultivation Of the soil.
9. That there was unemployed capital in the
Stnte.
The failure to prove my one of these three posi-
tons is death the whole array of your argument
And have so much reliance on your honor az TO he
Icye that you will unhcs:atingly admit that
of them be proved; and therefore, sir it irresst-
bly, follows that the cement of manufactures
cannot by any possibility iujuEe agriculture. Or
the contrary by converting cuiivators Of the soil
whose time is at present unpro6tably employed. int
customers of the farmers, the transformation would
be highly beneficial to agriculture.
To enforce this doctrine, add the melancholy pic
ture drawn by Mr.. Rives of Campbell, the truth o.
which unfortunately cannot be c0ntroverted
''It would scarcely be sai2 that the capacities o
Virginia for agricultural pursuits were any where sur
passed, aud indeed hardly cquaed yet were her agri
crlturists in depressed aud declining condition.
If any one doubted this melancholy fact let him asl
Information of the grower Of Indian coru--the wea
rrower-tobacco groweT-or the grower Of hemp &
fax. Look at the low price Of land; at the nurnbe
of emigyaus from their native state in MANY instap
ces leaving their lands uDeold for want of buyers
andin some, actually untenanted."
