TIE suB-TREAsURY BILL.


If, as many deem likely, the Snb-Trea-
sury scheme should be ad ,ptcd by Congress,
nothing more will be wanting to fill up the
measure of subscrviency to the President.
No MIN can doubt the overwhelming. oppo-
sition Of the people to this hated PROJECT;
and lift pass, the sad spectacle will be pre-
scented Of Congress of the United States
degcnerated into tho mere registrars of Pre-
sidcntial eIicts The President declared
IN his message that he would adopt any
measure of relief, save National Bank.
How does this spccions assevera.ion tally
with his and his friends per,inacious adhe-
renee to system undeniably odious to u
majority of those whose will he and they
ought faithfully to obey?
One Of the most important results Of this
bill, will be the prevention Of return to
specie payments. Another is, that there
will be two currencies: one for the Govern
ment, Of gold and silver; and another for
the people, of shin-plasters.
That the first result is inevitable, all
must see who reflect for moment, that the
Treasury and Sub-rreasuries viii be plac-
ed in an attitude hostile to the Banks. II
the immense power Of the Government
welded against the Banks, could produce a
suspension Of specie payments, (as it has
done,) can it not render thai suspension
| eternal? When the Government absorb:
in the payment of dues, all the preciou:
| metals, how can the Banks obtain ii? II
this war, the Banks must remain foreve
crippled, and the party will use their failure
to fsturn 10 specie payments, for its ow'
ubiquitous ends.
As the currency ofgold and silver will b,
hardly sufficient for the wants Of the Gov
ernment, it follows that it cannot be ade
| q,,ate to the necessities of both Government
and people. Certainly then, as the Gov
ornment grasps and holds with firm gripe
all the hard money, the people must be con
tent with shin plas.ers.
| Ofali the ruinous and desperate schemes
this is the worst. Let the bill pass, and IL
operation, rousing the peoples wrath, vii
dispense the Van Bdren party, as chaff be
fore the tempest.

Louisiana Banks-The Legislature of
this state, after wrangling for some weeks
about reformation of the banking system
of Louisiana, finally adjourned without ac-
compishing any thing advantage to
them. In consideration thereof, and the
general embarrassment of the monetary aE-
fairs Of the city of New Orleans, the Presi-
dents of The differen. banks convened on the
18th inst. for the purpose of employing sui
table measures for the relief of the commu-
nlty and the re.establishment Of confidence
in their banking institutions, which we are
pleased 10 learn, resulted in the adoption of
report nnd resolutions, calculated, from
their jndicious and equitable provisions, to
meet the views Of those associated with
these institutions, as well as the commercial
community. 1t is to be hoped, for the pros
perity of the trade and commerce Of the
country, that spirit of accommodation and
mutual forbearance between the people and
the banks, will characterize the actions of
the people and the exaciions of the banks,
in these critical times. This effected. and
things may once more assume their accus-
toned regularity, and be productive of cor
responding facilities to all intercsted.--G

offered the following resolution
Resolred, That the Committee for
Courts Of Justice be instructed to in.
qulre into the expediency OF increasing
the salaries Of the Judges of the Gene.
raj Court Of this Commonwealth.
Mr.. Segar made some remarks, 10
show the inadequacy of the present
compensation of the Judges-a body
OF men who have control over the life,
liberty, property and happiness of the
people. He thought the people could
afford to pay for proper administra-
ton of justice.
Mr.. Fisher moved to include the
Judges of the Court Of Appeals.
Mr.. Segar did not wish to hazard
the success of bis proposition by nclu-
ding the Judges of the Court of APP
peals.
Mr.. Fishers amendment was mega.
tived
Mr.. Smith OF Isle Of Wight, was op.
posed, in the present circumstances Of
the Commonwealth, TO any action up.
on the subject. During the suspension
OF specie payments, no such subject
ought to be agtated. Mr.. S. moved
to lay the resolution on the table.
Mr.. Segar opposed the motion, and
the question being taken, thereupon,
1t was decided in the affirmative, and
the resolution was laid on the table.
On motion of Mr.. Pendeton. the

NATIONAL FINANcEs--TnE LEGS.
LATURE.-The whole subject of the
National Finances and the currency
was yesterday laid open in our Legisla.
ture, by the following resolutions pro-
posed by Mr.. Servant of Elizabeth
City. A desultory and poinlless de.
bate occurred upon motion to print
them in which order was frequently
violated, and the Speaker somewhat
lenient in the outset, was forced TO be
rigorous. We suppose that these re-
solutions are bat the signal for a score
Of substitutes Of all manner of princi-
pies and castles from the milk and
water tweedledum and tweedledee, to
the ultra, "whole figure" stamp! The
Legislature, we fear, is fairly at Sea-
and debate, debate, debate, debate, -
to wind up wiih-perhaps mooaSiine,-
may be expected:
l. Resoiped, As the opinion Of this
General Assembly, that a National
Bank is unconstitutional, inexpedient,
and dangerous.
2. Reso1eed, AS the opinion Of this
General Assembly, that Treasury or
Government Bank is equally nexpedi.
ent and far more dangerous than a Ma.
tonal Bank.
3. Resolred, AS the opinion Of this
General Assembly, that both in the col.
lection and disbursement of the public
revenue the Federal Government ought
so TO conduct its operations as to dis.
pense with ali agency, and immediate.
| ly, whatsoever, of Banks, Nationa lei
| State.
4. RESOLVED, AS the opinion OF this
General Assembly, that the use by
the Banks ofthe revenues of the FEEDER.
al Government, as means of discount
is detrimental to the industry Of the
country, unequal in its operations and
ought 10 be discontinued.
5. ReSolred, AS the opinion of this
General Assembly, that the fiscal ac.
ton Of the Federal Government ought
to be so modified as to provide for the
gradual receipts of the legal currency
of the United States in payment oil
public dues.

IMPORTANT DECISION UPON NEGRO
SUFFRAGE.-We copy the following
from the Doylestown paper, and are
glad that the question OF negro suffrage
is likely to be settled by the only tri.
bunal that can put the subjecl in rest.
We understand the question was argu-
ed at the supreme court at Sunbury,
and will probably be decided at the
next term. We have very little doubt
but that this decision of Judge Fox
will be sustained, and the principle
settled that so far as government is
concerned, this is a nation Of aohite
men,
The cases of the contested election
Of Abraham Fretz, Commissioner and
Richard Moore, Auditor, was argued
on Thursday last, in the court OF
Quarter Session, on the part of the
complainants only, by II. Chapman,
Esq, neither Fritz nor Moore appea-
red, either by themselves or counsel,
Judge Fox delivered the opinion of the
court, at considerable length, upon the
question urged, which was, whether a
negro in Pennsylvania has the right to
vote. The court decided that negro
had no right to vote-that he was not
a citizen within the meaning ofthe con-
stitution-and that the right Of suffrage
is restricted by that instrument TO citi.
zens,
We hope TO be able in our next pa
per, to give the opinion Of the court at
large upon this important subject, as
Judge Fox stated it to be his intention
to reduce it TO writing, and file 1t on
record in the court. We will only
say at present, that so far as we could
perceive, the reasons for excluding the
negro from suffrage, appeared to be
conclusive, even to MANY whose i'm
pressions had previously been differ.

From the National In,elligcncer of Jan. II.

In the Senate, yesterday, bill was
reported by the Committee on Finance
embracing the projet ofthe Administra.
ton, varying considerably from the
sub. Treasury scheme of the late extra
session, and by so much the more ex.
ceptionable as it varies from that
scheme. The bill is of great length,
and we have no means of obtaining a
copy oft. The following is, however,
summary of its principal provisions !:
First. Certain rooms in the Treas
ury Building, with safes and vaults,
are 10 constitute the Treasury of the
United States.
Second. The Mint and the Branch
MINIS are also to be public repositories
of the public moneys.
Third. Certain special repositories,
are to be created, viz. In Charleston,
New York, and Boston, and officers TO
be appointed therefor, to be called Re.
ceivers General, with salaries, &c.
Fourth. In certain cases, collectors
of public moneys may make special
deposites in banks the key upon such
repositories to be retained by the de-
posting officer.
FVh. Many provisions are propo-
sed, by bond and otherwise, for the Sc.
curity of money in the hands of those
officers.
Sirth. Exclusive specie payments,
for all dues and debts to Government,
to be required after certain time
say, for four or SIX years hence.
Another feature, If we understand
Alright, annuls the requisition of specie
payments at the land offices, permitting
the alternative Of paying the money
into the Treasury at Washington, Ger.
tIiicates of such payment to be recei.
we'd as cash at the land offices.
