evening Of the third, as described in our paper Of yes

consumed, most of them stores, containing merchandise,
groceries and goods Of the riches, and most valuable
kind. 1t is estimated that one million of dollars would
not cover the losses that have been sustained. AS a

Offices will have 10 meet heavy drafts upon their capital.

F'cHov- Citizens Of the Senate
and House of Delegate

ana House o. DefeSdtes:
The condition of our public affairs
is in some respects less favorable than
could be wished--but the numerous
p~rovidential blessings which we con
tinus to enjoy, demand our grateful
acknowledgements.
The sources Of national greatness
and Of individual wealth, for which
our country has been always remarka.
BILE, are yet fresh and unexhausted I;
the energy and enterprise that have
already accomplished SO mnch, are IN.
sbated, and are still allured 10 exertion
by the certainty Of success, whilst the
jncon M~eniences under which the coun.
try labors, are temporary IN their ma
ture, and re(erable to causes which a
wise forecast, If it cannot altogether
avoid, may hereafter deprive of much
OF their power to DO mischief.
The subject which, unhappily, at
this time, is forced upon our attention
by its derangcd condition, is the cur
rency Of the country.
The advantages on the one hand. oil
an uniform and stable currency, and
the evils on the other, of a currency
deprecated and unstable, cannot be
easily exaggerated. The conviction
of this truth is universal. The People,
and the Government as well as the
People, have an inappreciable stake in
what is permitted TO pass as money
II was, therefore, to be expected that
the first appearance Of arrangement in
our monetary system, would give rise
to earnest inquiries about the causes
which have produced it, and that these
would lead to numerous propositions of
amendment /; and as Banks from a
prominent part Of that system, and ex.
ert a controlling influence over the
currency, 1t is not q matter Of surprise
that the evil by some should be impu.
ted to their agency. Ii is all impor-
tant TO seperate the accidental from
the necessary results Of the banking
policy, that we may not fall into the
error ofabandoning institutions ofgreat
and acknowledged usefulness, under
the mistaken impression that they are
mtrlnsicalIy impolitic.
The opinions which I had the honor
to express, with much dihdonce, in a
late communication TO the General AS.
sembly, have Leen confirmed by sub
sequest reflection. 1t would, I humbly
conceive, be attended by ruirous sac.
rissss, public and individual, to aban.

ment only for tho general purposes

That the States Of this Union, IN all
their reserved rights and powers, are

That any interference by mi or
moro States, or by the people OF one

situations Of any other State OF this
Union, or with any Of its reserved

tons, is a palpable ind dangerous ln-
frasiion Of the spirit ofthe Constitution
Of the United States, tending directly
to disturb the peace and tranquility of
the Union, and TO sever the links which
connect us together as one People:
That the Senate ofthe United States,
composed Of the representatives OF the
States in their sovereign capacities,
and bound TO protect the reserved
rights and powers left to them in the

whatever, to prohibit the domestic
trade between any of the States, or the
citizens Of any of the States, allowed
by them in any kind of property, re-
cognised us such by their laws, as un-
constitutions, in spirit and in letter:
Therefore,
Resolced, That the Senate Of the
United States will neither receive. nor
entertain, any petition, memorial, reso-
luton, or other paper, praying Con.
gross to prohibit any such trade.
Resolved, That, as it would be q

TO abolish slavery in the District of

people Of the District, the Senate will
neither receive, nor entertain, any
petition, memorial, or other paper,
praying for the adoption Of such men-
sures, unless it proceed from the peo-
pie of the District Of Columbia.
The resolutions being read, they
were laid on the table and ordered to
to be printed.

MR.. WHITNEY.

We commend the communication Of Mr..
Whitney, in our paper Of to-day, to the atten-
ton Of all our readers. He has met the unpro-
voked attacks ofthe official editor with becom-
ing dignity and firmness who, we think, he
has placed before the world in not very en-
piaJie light.
The editor has thought proper to make as
sertions in respect to ourselves. His allega-
tons are not only false, but we consider him
guilty Of inpertinence in metdling with our
private affairs at all. Whatever we owe we
can pay hundred cents on the dollar. When
we shall have paid our creditors by compro-
mise ofone cent on the dollar, then we will give
the editor full permission to take our private
affairs into his special keeping. where there
will be found sympathy Of feeling.

THE AssAILANr OF THE NAVY.

The attack upon the Navy by the official
organ Of the Government invokes too many
important considerations to be disposed of un-
til the public shall be fully satisfied and justice
shall be melted out to all the parties concerned.
The public demand to know the author in
consideration Of the semi-c6icial and BY autho-
,1ty character Of the attack. This and this
alone gives it consequence. The same SIAN
derer might have vented his defamation
through any other channel, and it would have
passed UNDECIDED with the foolery and false
hoods of the day.
Who is the author The Globe says Mr..
Kendall is not. Nor is "the person holding
an office in one of the Departments Tho
Albany trgus says the editor Of the Globe is
not; and the Richmond Enquirer says, upon
the authority ola letter which il has seen, that
Nj. Paulding is not The Globe is right in
saying that neither Mr.. Kendall nor the Clerk
is the author and the Argus is right in say
ing that the editor Of the Globe is not but the
Richmond Enquirer think has been deceived
in his proof--grossly deceived Our first inn
preston was, that Mr.. PAULDING, THE
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, WAS
THE AUTHOR, and we still believe it
We are confident that he will not deny it UNI
der his own signature, nor will the Globe! He
knew not how rough his voyage would be
when he provoked the tempest. Instead of
calling upon the rocks and mountains to hide
him, he may invoke the Globe to protect
him by evasion and silence.
But all the evasion and stupid concealmcnt
Of the official, will not rescue the Secretary
and his accessories from the deep infamy that
awaits them. Why skulk if the quo amino
was good and honorable Why seek an in
cognito if the position was defensible and the
charges capable Of proof The concealment

FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
THE NAVY.


Mn. EDIToR In recent attack made upon the
Navy, much has been said that should never have
transpred in this country so long as the nation felt
any interest in that Of its defence. But the
evil is done and there is now no help for it, The
secret has gone abroad to the whole world by au-
the Navy, and that the officers all infamous cha
racters and unworthy of their commissions. OF
course, the vast commerce ofths great continent is
exposed TO the invitation that this declaration holds
out to any pirate that procure the means OF
sailing il.
traordinary movements ever made in this or any
other country. That the members of government
constituted as ours is should undertake to decry or
render valueless one of its most important branches
Of protection is beyond conception but by referring
tothe columns OF the official organ, you have the
proof that such is the fact.
Let us now inquire, for form sake, how or by
whose influence this organ, the Globe newspaper, is
supported, and what will be the ready response
Why, that il Is the voice Of Mr.. Van Buren, echoed
BY the Cabinet that induces the friends Of this asso-
citation of politicians to countenance ii, and that
without their support it would Immediately cease 10
exist Is IT, therefore, to be doubt d that what
in that print is by the authority OF some other
of this administration 7
There are but few men in this country who do
not know that whatever appears in newspaper, in
Europe, holding the relation that the Globe does to
