CONGRESS-.
BANK OF THE UNIFIED STATES

~
In the Senate, Monday, Mr.. DALLAS pre-
scented the petition Of the President and Directors
of the Bank of the United States, praying for IA re.
newal of their charter.
With unhesitating frankness, Mr. DALLAS said
he wished it to be understood by the Senate, by
the good comm onweaIth which it was his duty as
we'll as his pride to represent, and by the people
generally, that this application, at this time, had'
been discourage by him. Aciuatcd by sincere
wish TO preserve the benefits of the institution to
The community, the expcdency of bringing for
ward their claim at this early period of the popular
representation, which must be succeeded by two
other elections before the expiration of the present
charter OF the bank, and when great political
movement about to take place. 1t struck him
to be somewhat dangerous. He also apprehen-
sivc lest the bank might be drawn into real or i'm
aginary conflict subject of high Importance,
more immediately interesting to the Anne rican peo-
pie. Under these circumstances, it was his wish,
in with that of every friend OF the institu
ton, to it from the difficulties nc had apprc-
hondcd, by temporary delay. Nevertheless, as he
distrusted his n Judgment and is it was the de-
termination Of those in power in the institution
TO bring the subject forward at the present session.
he should not hesitate to do so; and no could not
but reflect that the Legislature OF Pennsylvania
had recently recommended a renewal of the char
ter of the bank, by which he considered himself vr.
tually instructed. Whatever danger, however, there
might be in presenting the memorial at the present
tme he thought it entitled to respectful considera
ton, and he should, after it was read, move to
commit it to select COMMITTEES, with power to send
for persons and papers.
The memorial having been read, ard the quos.
ton of reference TO select committee of five deci.
dcd on,
The Senate then ballottcd for a committee, and
Messrs. Dallas Webster Ewing, Hayno AMI John
ston were appointed.

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE

On Saturday, after disposng of few local bills,
the House resumed the consideration of Goodies
Resolution, and Randolph's Substitute thereto
Inc Debate was continued with much animation
and ability by Messrs. Powell ofSpcttsylvania Dan
ie of Campbell, Faulkner of Rerkley, and Marshall
OF Fauquier-Messrs. Powell and Marshall. occu
plying midway ground, concurring on the cnor.
nous evil of slavery, and the propricty and neces
sity of acting, but not at THO me-Mr Daniel
opposing any step whatever-and Mr.. Faux
ner in a speech which attracted great admiration,
advocating the necessity of acting promptly and
efficiently, indicating the postnati principle,
and urging the deep and equal interest which
Western Virginia had in tho question, as cut
Oft from the Southern markets, and confined to
Virginia. slavery like water, would seek it's level,
and difiusc itself those portions of the State
now happily almost exempt.
After some explanation from Mr. Bryce, the
House adjourned, motion Of Mr.. Roane.

u To-day, the Select Committee on Slaves,
&c. reported that il nexpedent at this time,
to legslate on the question of abolition. The read.
or will bear in mind that the great Debate in
which the House of Delegates is engaged came
on under tho resolution of Mr.. Good0 to discharge
the Select Committee from the farther considera
ton of the question of abolition, and further that
it was nexpedent to legisuto at all upon tho sub
Jcct of abolition. The Report of tho Committee
placed the House therefore in a novel attitude
The resolution which opened the discussions was to
discharge the Committee: in the midst of tho De-
bate, the Committee discharge themselves, by ma.
king Report; yet it felt on all sides of the
House to be indispensable, that tho Debate should
proceed that the grand subject shoNld not be left
half discussed, that gentlemen should have tho
privilege of reply. The embarrassment thus oc
casloned, gave rise to protracted discussions and
was finally surmounted (as the Debate will show,)
by considering the Report of the Committee IN
connection with motion of Mr.. Preston to amend
by reversing it.
The Debate then proceeded as if it had not
been interrupted, and ably continued by
Messrs Roane, Wood of Albemarle and Preston
1t is impossible to give the distant reader lust
conception of the profound excitement which pre-
walls, or of the universal consciousness of the in
ca!culable magnitude and weight of the crisis
We trust in Heaven, that the country will keep
coo-and that the People of Virginia will display
that solidlty of character, that alteration and
patriotism, for which they renowned. The
emergency demands all her calmness and rehec-
ton.
