POSTSCRIPT.
From the National Intelligence, of Tuesday.


The BANK THE UNITED STATES has thrown IL
self upon the country. A Memorial of the Prcs-
dent and Directors, for renewal of its charter,
was yesterday presented in each House of Con-
gross. In the Senate, it referred to a very
able Select Committee and in the House of Re-
representatives. to the Committee of Ways and
Means.
In the latter case, an interesting Debate took
place, the spirit of which, tho small portion for
which we have been able TO find room to-day w ill
give the reader a tolerable general idea. The go
vernment of the Bank has made an unexpected
move; and, Notwithstanding the repeated referen-
to the subject by the Executive for three years
past, the Memorial now presented seems to have
taken the adversaries of the Bank unplea sanity by
surprize. There was some plain speaking on the
subject both sides yesterday, and those who
felt least interested in the contest the subject
between the different parties in the House. appeared
TO he the most amused by it.
The vote for reference, it passed, proves no.
thing dcclsvcly except that there is doubtless 4
majority disposed to entertain, at this session. the
question Of renewing the charter of tho Bank
We know, and feel authorized to state that some
Members voted against the reference of the me-
moral to the Committee of Ways and Means,
who friendly to the renewal of the charter of
the Bank. They went upon tho ground that,
heretofore, the subject, whenever brought before
the House for its action upon it, has been in the
charge of Select Committee, and that the same
course has in this been pursued in the Sc
nate. On the other hand, the subject has alrea-
ny, ny q VOle OF the House OF representatives,
at this session, been referred in the dissection of
the Presidents Message, to the Committee of
Ways and Mea s. and the majority of the House,
on the vote of Yesterday, appear to have been of
opinion, that in the hands of that committee it has
been wisely and safely lodged. BY their vote,
they had sad only, that they would not, by giving
the memorial TO select committee, take the sub
ject out of the hands of the standing committee,
to which by the rules confided all matters re-
lating to the finances, of which the Bank of the
United States, according to all experience, and to
the declarations of the Administration ITSELF is SO
important an aid.
In the Senate, also, Mr.. Clay submitted reso-
luton declaring chat the existing duties upon
ticies imported from foreign countries, and not
coming into competition with similar articles, made
or produced within the United States, ought forth
with to be abolished except the duties upon wines
and silks, and that they ought to be reduced
Mr. G. gave notice that he should call mp the re-
solution to-day, but understand there is proba-
bty that, at the request of member particularly
charged with the subject of the revenue, its con.
sideration may be deferred for short time. When
ever 1t comes up, it must, almost necessarily give
rise to wide and interesting debate.

COLONIZATION socIErY.

Ono of the signs of the times, the overflow
Ing numbers which attended the annual meeting
OF the Colonization Society of Virginia, last
ing, in tho Capitol. The society heretofore has
met with the most active and decided enmity from
many who have recently grounded their arms, and
IN future, converted enemies will be among its
most efficient advocates. Circumstances have at
chieved for it, what reason and argument in Va; in
labored to effect We at its last Evenings
Session, numbers who dare say found them
selves countcnancing its proceedings and contTibu-
ting to its success with sort of surprizc.
Tho meeting favored with n glowing
speech from Mr.. Maxwell of Norfolk Borough,
who described the prosperity of the Colony, depict
ed the advantages of the Country, and defended
tho design Of the Society from its enemies in u
vein of happy elocution. The proceedings of the
evening will be published, and we need not state
them here. The numbers in attendance were sup
posed to exceed the combined numbers at all pre-
coding meetings of the Society. 1t may be affirm
cd with confidence, that the scheme of African
COLONIZATION has succeeded. 1t has now received
! an impulse which cannot fail to carry it on TO
triumph. 1t is thus that truth and over
como prejudice. and although oppressed by difficult
tics at first, when aided by perseverance, and dill
CONGO, fail no. to succeed at last.
