HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

MONDAY, FED. 70, 1855.
DEATH OF THE HON. JONATHAN CILLEY
As soon as the journal of the proceedings of Satur
day was read
Mr.. FAIRFIELD, of Maine, rose and addressed
the House as follows;
Mr.. SPEAKER An event has occurred since our
last adjournment which has spread a deep gloom
over this community, and deprived this body of one
Of its most valuable members. ! aude, sir, TO the
death ofmy late colleague, the Hon. JONATHAN CHI
LEY, which, it is my painful duty announce, took
place on Saturday last near this city. One hour we
saw him in full life standing in the midst of in all
the pride and vigor Of manhood; the next helpless,
nanimate corpse II is case, sir, most melancholy
and hcaTrending in all Its circumstances, (of which,
however, this is not the occasion TO speak) and
brings home TO our minds, with peculiar emphasis,
the trite but solemn truth that in the midst of life
we are in DEATH"
My deceased colleague was man Of uncommon
talents. His mind was strong vigorous welstored
and well disciplined. He had moreover, that indo-
mitabe spirit of perseverance in all the pursuits of
an elevated and honorable ambition, which would
not rest satisfied with low attainmens. He partook
largely too of that fearless patriotism of his ances-
tors, which made them "pour out their blood like
water in the war of the Revolution and which also
displayed itself in the brave and chiyalrous conduct
Of an only brother during the late war
His fellow-citizens had often elected him 10 places
OF honor and trust in the State of his adoption and
had now given him a scat among the Representa-
lives OF the nation-among US, who are now spared
to deplore his abrupt aud tragical removal. Thonsh
he had not long been member of this body, nc had
established an envable and an enduring reputation.
His ready powers of debate, his warm ana iei'iu
eloquence, his manly bearing toward opponents, ana
courteous demeanor 10 all, win be readily acknow-
lodged, and long remembered, BY the members Of
this House,
That his sudden and melancholy death will pro-
duce deep sensation in Maine, and indeed through
out the whole country one can doub. but the an
nuncaion of the dreadful fact TO the partner of his
bosom, sitting in the midst Of the young pledges Of
their mutual affection, little dreaming Of the blow
that awaits her, il is shocking 10 contemplate. No
one can think Of it but with feelings Of the most
poignant and heartfelt grief May He who tenn
pers the wind to the shorn lamb and who twill not
break the bruised reed" give her that consolation
and support which she needs, and which no earthly
power can give

III We fear that those who give tone to the policy
and measures of The administration at Washington,
and those who, among the people, are employed in
giving the force OF popularity to that policy and those
measures do not sufficiently reflect upon the severe
taxation 10 which they subjecting the interests
and popularity Of the people.
II Is not from the ighest offices Of government no
than from The most lofty heights of the terres
trial world, that the visions of men become more
ncuo and ar-reaching. The reverse is oitener true
in each case Or, as another of ancient days is said
to have expressed himself, though pebian at the
time, 10 one high in ofice'it is the misfortune Of
your rank never TO know the people, the accurate
signs of their time As those who pass over the
heights Of mountains see the clouds sweep below,
yelling the plains and valleys from their gaze while
they, only little above the level survey the move
mcnts and the homes of men even 50 from your
lofty emnence We behold but the indistinct and sui
len vapors-whie from my humble station, see the
preparations Of the shepherds TO shelter themselves
and herds from the storm which those clouds be
token"
We mix among the people. We are in the midst
Of the multitude We are Of their number. We
have sympaheS in common with them. We feel
the paralysis Of diSordered broken, disturbed, dis
credited currency. We do not charge the past or
The present administration as responsible forhs state
OF things. But we do sincerely admonish the admit
nis.raion, that the people will hold them response
BILE for its long continuance II is not enough for the
government TO devise measures 10 relieve itself and
its officers from the evils of bad contracted
rency. Its measures must extend furtber-must be
more general and have regard 10 the convenience,
security and relief of the people generally II this
be not done the endurance of the people will be
stretched 10 that point where Il will burst into exc
crarions against their assumed benefactors. History
teaches us the qualities of human nature when acted
upon by unmered oppression When the Island
OF Andres was besieged by Themistocles, to exact
a fine in remuneration of expenses incurred by
Athens and allies in defending their common coun-

Resored, That the public interest requires that each

per cent on the amount Of its capital
ReS0ircd, That the effect OF such increase would be
case and comfort in the money market: general con-
fdence general good feelings towards each other and
towards the banks,
Resoped, That it is impossible for the banks 10 re-
sumo specie payments by curtaiment because curtal
mcnt legets panic, and destroys confidence ard be-
general and generous confidence is indispensable
| TO precede, TO accompany and to follow the resump-
ton.
Resoircd, That the practice OF the banks, Of pur-
chasing specie at premium tho worst possible way
to convince the Of the community that bank bills
better than specie; which conviction is indispcnsa-
BILE in resuming specie payments
Rcsntrcd That the increase Of circulation attendant
upon the increase of loan recommended would in no
way rctard eopardse the resumption of specie pay
ments, the part Of the banks Of this city whenever

bic and universal suspension Of specie payments but

fully neglect this duty, while other banks conform to il
Therefore,
Resoired, That, should any individual protest the
bills Of the banks, with view Of obtaining the twenty
four per cent interest," such individual will he regarded
by this meeting, as adopting course highly injurious
10 the public welfare,
Rcsoired, That we will endeavor in conversation
with all those meet, to ncucae these sentiments
