FROM MICHIGAN

II S SENATOR After delay Of two weeks, we
have tho unfegned pleasure Of announcing to our rca-
ders that AUGUSTUS S PORTER. Esq, was yestcr-
day elected BY the two Houses in JOINT convention,
Senator to the u S Senate from this State, for SIX
years from the 4th of March last,
This selection win be cordially responded 70 by the
Wings Of Michigan for although Messrs. Blddle,
Chapman Howard Van Fossen, Noble and others, had
warm friends among the members OF the Legislature
and the People, and although either OF the gentlemen
would have honored the station had they been chosen
to il, STILL than Augustus y Porter, no man had rem
dered more efficient service in the struggle for correct
principles and no man is deserving OF the honor
which the Legislature has fit TO confer upon him.
The Madisonian., 1840-01-30
We conclude 70 .day tho Interesting docu.


We conclude day the interesting docu-
ment we commenced in our last number
We desire to call especial attention 10 the
plain and lucid exposiiions Of the learned
writer. In our opinion, he sets the whole
question OF Subireasury, banking operations,
trade, &c, as they have been affected by the
measures Of Government, and as they ope-
rate BY themselves, in clearer point Of view
than any in which we have yet seen them
placed.
His concluding remarks are impressive.
They strongly appeal 10 the patriotism, intelli-
gence and virtue Of the American People.
This letter, in our judgment. deserves an
extensive circulation. We consider It's argu-
men, of such conclusive character, as is
calculated 10 overthrow whatever the sophis-
try OF Loco-fo -focoism may have erected in any
candid mind

MIR. cALHoUN's PROSPECTS.

Referring 10 the coalition, the burying OF ha'chets
and smoking OF caumels, between Messrs. Van Bu-
ren and Calhoun, correspondent OF the 81. Louis
Gazette, writing from Washington, says;
"People talk about It's effects upon the prospects Of
Mr.. Benton. Mr.. Bentons friends give themselves
no uneasiness. II The Van Buren party shah be
triumphant in lS44 and Mr.. Benton be then living
in sound health Of mind and body, lie VIII be the
President Of The United States. ! say this mol as a
parlizan for see enough OF all The great men here
TO repe me from every Thing like hearty attach
ment for any of them. But Calhoun has destroyed
himself in popular estimation; no coalition and no
court intrigue, can possibly lift him to the height
which his ambition cove,s He may write " lcha-
bod" on his banner, and ejeculale-' The glory has
departed" And this he may do as well in 1910 as
in 1874"

"pRAYERs in THE CONVENTION,


Some Quaker gentleman has addressed
letter to the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, Of Geo,
in commendation Of his speech against the
appointment Of Chaplain to Congress, which
that gentleman has communicated to the
Globe. Ii contains the following paragraph,
which, with all possible Difference to those
concerned in its publication, we consider a
libel upon American history, and an outrage
upon the fair fame Of the fathers and preserv-
ers Of the Republic.
This nation has long been slumbsring over this
INVASION OF THEIR LIBERTIEs, and II Is feared are
not readily TO be aroused 10 proper sense OF the
danger"
What danger! The danger Of having
prayers to Almighty God in the Hall of the
House of Representatives
1t is denounced as taring The people TO sup
port reigion
All these ad coptandum dennnciations Of
things really good, are founded upon con
tempt Of the people. Their authors seem to
think that "the people are to be caught by the
ears, as one catches pot by the handle"

NOBLE SENTIMENT.

How mnch more admirable and magnani-
nous is the following sentiment of General
Harrison than the narrow, jealous and petty
sectional feelings and prejudices which cha
rae,erize the speeches of Van Buren, men in
Congress!
In his speech in $780, General Harrison
said
~ believe that the continuance OF the Tariff is
essential 10 the prosperity Of the Western States;
But should be among The FIRST 10 propose lis modi-
6caiion or repeal, il il is found 10 produce 10 the
Southern States the ruinous consequences they pre-
dict No honest man can enjoy apro>perity fonnd

THE SMUGGLER IN THE CABINET.

If the administration not lost 10 all sense OF de-
cency the attempt Of the P1smaster General 10 Snug
pe the mail Of The United States from Phlade pha to
Baltimore would have been followed by his instant re-
moral from office Had he sent avowed agent OF the
Department with the mail in pornaneau, admitted,
hy the use Of il, TO be the convenient mode OF
sending it, and openly demanded that his agent should
90 like any other passenger with The mall while It did
not exceed a CERTAIN weight, whatever question there
might have been Of his right there would have been an
uprehtness and honesty III the transaction which would
have commanded respect Bat for high officer Of the
Governments member Of The cshinet-a daily associate
in council cheek by jowl with Forsyth and Ponset'-o

through in long low, black turnk with fresh label
Of the name Of an individual purposcly TO elude snspi
cion is deep disgrace to the government, which could
only have been perperaied in time Of wide spread
and invetera,e corruption.
Qui fact per aha-facit per sc, is maxim Of law
and the question may arise should this urre at,emp,
TO smuope the mail be made question Of law whether.
if the President justified it. he did not make it his own
set! The question is did he justify the substitution
and secret use of the long, low, black trunk, With the
private label for the regular and weliknown mode OF
conveyance of the mail ! A peep at the Postmaster

CONGRESS.

In the Senate, yesterday, the bill to esta-
blisb Board Of Commissioners to examine
and report upon claims agains, the Govern
mcnl. was passed, together with several bills
of a private nature. Mr.. Webster offered
proposition to inquire into the burning of the
Lexington, &c.
In the House, Mr.. Graves, Of KY, having
the floor, addressed the House with much
energy and effect upon the proposition SUBJ
mitted by him on Tuesday, in relation to the
public printing.
The loco iocos, il will be observed, on
Tuesday, after drilling and caucusing the night
previous, reoonsidered by majority of three
the vote which the House had given on Mon
day. in majority Of 20, providing for the
execution Of the printing with the least ex-
pense to the Government. 1t was found,
doubtless, that the VAMPIRE Globe could not
be efficiently sustained without all the profits
to be derived from the printing Of both Houses
Of Congress, and the Executive Departments.
The order TO reconsider was therefore issued.
IleTeiil ~ Iiusudttu mat gFtut ucSHc W eto-
nomize, upon which the President SO fondly
expatiated in his message.
After Mr.. Graves had concluded his re-
marks, Mr.. Rice Garland offered an amend
mend, proposing to divorce the printing from
the public press, against which the loco focos
raised point Of order, which consumed the
rest of the day.

or 90 600 900 to pay interest on foreign deb Is
capable Of producing much distress, must he not
perceive the irretrevable disaster which his Sub
treasury must produce, creating an additional de-
nand for some 20 or $4,000 900 In speciel Can we
expect the banks stand under such circumstancesi
No. sir; the day that our Subareasury goes into
operation will send forth the death-warrant against
the great majority of those institutions When we
remember the peculiarles Of our cotton trade the
fact that England Is our great-ou' regulating mar
ke and that she Is liable to fevulsons from the ope
ralions Of her ordinary corn law sysiem when we
farther remember the influence Of our foreign debt
we are forced 10 acknowledge, that, under The most
favorable circumstances, are more liable to dis
tressing commercial revnlsions than most nations,
and consequently, our banking system will OCCASION
ally be subjected TO greater sraining than that OF
other countries.
When, then, you add to all these, the overpower-
ing influence Of the Sub.treasury, with an OCCASION
al surplus revenue, 1t seems almost impossible 10 de-
ny that 10 every revulsion of trade there must be
bank suspension. What, then, mus, become Of the
banksl Either the stockholders will find them un-
profitable and surrender their charters, the peo
pie will become exasperaled and demand their over
ihrow-or, If peruitted TO drag out their miserable
existence they will fall into Of abect depend
| ancc on the Executive. In the mean time, can any
one seriously expect the Sub-reasury, under all
these revusions, TO maintain, unchanged, its origi-
nal characierl No. sir. l hope | have shown
elsewhere that, the people themselves would invest
It with banking privileges. The history OF the
world has shown that any scheme, no matter how
dangerous TO liberty, will eagerly be grasped by man.
to save him from present pecuniary embarrassment.
! But, even If the people should moi demand this
change, can we suppose that The Executive OF this
nation will always sit calmly by this mighty engine
OF power and suffer its faculties 10 sleep undevelop
ed No; sooner or later, at propilious season
| when the banks are prosraed-the currency derang-
ed, and credit desiroyed-when The laborer is out Of
employment and the widow and the orphan have
| LOST their all-he will confer most gracious boon
upon the country, by making his Subtreasury the
great instrument Of relief And remember, too, that
| on such occasions having the specie, which is the
vital principle OF all banking, The Sub,reasury can
easily be converted into great Government Bank; /;
and when this alliance shall be completed, we may
bid adeu to our liberties.
The future historians may then record that, as
| our AngoSaxon ancestors their liberties by
noby refusing TO surrender the purse to the king,
SO we had lost them BY gnobly yielding il to our
President. But, sir will not longer engross your
time by any remarks on the Sub-treasufy. 1t has
been too much discussed to need further elucidaon

GLOBE FALSEHOOD.
The following falsehood appeared in the
Globe Of Monday evening:
!" HARRlsoN AN ABoLIrIoNIsT. !"

Gl0Oe OI NoHudy evening
"H,RRisoN AN ABoLIrIoNIsr."
The Cincinnati Advertiser states that Gen.
Harrison is a member Of an Abolltonist So
ciety, and says the fact can be proven, if any
of the Wing presses meet the charge with an
explicit denial"
The heading Of this paragraph, which
falsely announces Harrison an abolllionist,' =
is the Globes. There is scarcely an intelll-
gent man in the nation who does not know
the charge to be basely false.
The charge Of the Cincinnati paper has
been denied again and again, and where is the
proof of its truth We state again upon the
authority of the Ohio Confederate, paper
friendly to this administration, that the charge
of the Cincinnati Advertiser is not only false,
bu, has not the shadow Of foundation.
