e5- The Hon. John Branch, former Sec
retary OF The Navy, who was discharged by
Jackson, has consented 10 become the De-
mocratic Republican candidate for Govern
or of North Carolina. This is rather singu.
lar for more reasons than one. II would

Thornley,, was recently murdered by
his own slave, boy 10 years of age.

DEFEAT OF THE SUB. TREASURY.

DEFEAT OF THE SUB. TREASURY.
Ii is with no ordinary degree of pleasure, tina,
we are enabled 10 announce to our readers, at
the Sub-Treasury Bill has been defeated by a
decisive majority of ID votes in the House Of
Representatives. On Monday the 25th inst.
while the Bill was under discussion in committee
of the whole House, the motion, which had
been made few days previous, by MIR. Gar
land, TO strike out the enacting clause of the
Bill, was carried by avote of 81 TO Sc. This
was considered by many as evidence Of the fate
that awaited the bill, 1.-The sequel proved that
for once the signs Of the times were correct
Immediately after the motion Of Mr. Garland
bad prevailed, the committee rose and reported
the bill, as it then stood, without an enacting
clause, to the House; whereupon Mr. Sherrod
Williams Immediately moved the previous ques-
tion. Mr.. Wise moved call of the House.
which prevailed, when it was ascertained that
about fifty members were absent. The absen.
tees, with the exception Of one who was away
on leave, and two who were excused, we're
called in, and all the members with the excep-
ton of three, were in attendance. The call for
the previous question was sustained, and the
question was carried. The main question being
on the engrossment of the Bill, and ordering it
to its third reading, was put and decided in the
negative, by vote of III yeas and l25 nays
On the goth ult., Mr.. Foster made motion
that the House reconsider the vote of the 25th
The motion gave rise to some discussion, which
was cut short by the previous question. Short
ly after, the vote was taken upon the motion TO
reconsider, and exhibited 81 ayes and 225 nays.
So ends, in Congress, the darling measure of
the Administration 1t has been defeated, ut
terly and decisively, by body in which the
supporters OF the Administration have large
majority over the Whigs-in word, the mea-
sure has been defeated by the will of the people
alone. That will has had sufficient weight with
enough of the members of the House 10 array
them against a measure which would cen
ire in the hands of the President, the control of
the money of the Government, and enable him
to take care Of HIMSELF without regard TO
the sufierngs and privatons of the people
That he would do so, who can doubt, after his
declarations made in his message 10 the extra
session Of Congress last fall Then, when the
people were suffering and embarrassed by the
elects OF his own runous policy when their
business and prosperity had been stricken down
by his own ill-advised course, he coIdlv pro.
claimed it to be the duty of the people to take
care OF themselves and not TO look 10 the Govern
m tOr III ,t..,.
the people great reason 10 rejoice that they have
bearded the lion in his den, and defeated his
scheme TO do them further mischief.
