SALEM RESPONDING.

A letter from Salem informs us, that the
glorious news from Rhode Island has elcctri-
fed our Wing friends in that city. 1t adds:
"rhe defeat Of the demagogue, hypocrite and
traitor TO the interests of his own State, Dutee
J. Pearce, is alone worth as much as the
gaining of whole state. A salute of a hun
dred guns would be small token Of rejoicing
for this single event. We shall in Salem, as

In the Senate, on Monday, on motion of Mr..

and to report such bills as they may deem neces-
sary to improve the condition thereof, in said

declaring dividend to the stockholders of any bank
in the District Of Columbia, at any lime when the specie
payments of such bank shall be suspended.
Mr. ADAMS said that he did not know that
there was any necessity for discussion on this
He offered it thus early, because
the committees were just appointed and the time
for making dividends is near. His opinion was,
that whatever other indulgences were proper to
be granted to the banks, they should not be al
lowed to make dividends while suspending specie
payments.
Mr.. PATTON, of Virginia, thought this too
much matter Of importance to hasten through
without the usual inquiry. He moved to strike
out the words "reporta bill, and insert enquire
into the expediency Of reporting BILL
Mr.. ADAMS accepted the modification, and the
resolution was adopted.
