MORE PROOFS OF THE FEDERAL
LOCO FOCO IMPOSTURE.

From every quarter Of the Union we receive
intelligence that the mails are encountered with
carloads OF calumnious publications, put forth
oy the Federal Loco Foco party, and paid for
out Of the public Treasury, or from funds
levied on the troops Of mercenary Office -holders.
A great portion Of this libellous mass consists of
the Extra Globes Of Kendall, and copies Of his
Address, his letters, and cireulars-all pRANxrp
by Federal Loco Foco members of Congress.
The address Of this unprincipled demagogue 70

unheard OF abuses, getting subscribers 10 a news

Mr.. Virgil Delphini Paris, and that iUustrious
young man, Mr. John b. Weller, who undertook

BANKRUPT BILL.

We publish to-day all the material sections of
the Bankrupt bill that passed the Senate on
Thursday last This bill has undergone more
discussion and amendment than any other that
has been before that body for many years. Nearly
every Senator participated in the debate, and we
believe i has been made as perfect as the talent
and experience Of that able body can make il.
When all the distinguished men who voted
for and against the bill, are satisfied that the
bill is as perfect as il can be made we are JUS
tilted in saying il cannot be materially improved.
Material amendments were made to meet the
views of some creditor merchants in New York
who sent their memorial here, and appeared by
n committee. The act does not take effect I'M
Ill the fourth Of February next, and the crditors
of every bankrupt must have personal or written
notice of the proceedings in bankruptcy II
is now understood to meet the wishes Of all who
are in favor of any idw, and if any objection
shall hereafter arise, the next Congress will have
il in their power to repeal or modify it before it
takes effect.
We call the attention Of the whole country to
the provisions of this bill, and more particularly
do we wish the members Of the House Of Re-
representatives. to examine it with care This bill
protects with the most severe caution the inte-
rests Of the creditors, and although the expense
and trouble which must be encountered BY an
honest unfortunate man will be very great vet
il will nevertheless be shield and plan of re-
fuge to him, behind which he can retire for pro-
lection when overwhelmed with misfortune and
wearied with persecution.
None but honest men can be relieved by this
act; and all honest men will pay an equitable
claim which by this humane, just and christian
act becomes debt of honor with much more
pleasure when the free ase of his talents, cha
racter, and credit shall enable him to obtain the
means to do so.
In the House of Representatives, yesterday,
Mr. Sergeant moved 10 suspend the rules for the
purpose of ordering the bill to be printed and re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee; but the mo-
ton requiring vote of two-thirds, was lost.
The bill, therefore, retains its place on the ca
lendar among the Senate bills.

LOUISIANA ELECTION.

The election for Congressman and State off
GERS takes place in Louisiana week from next
Monday. Owing to local circumstances our
friends need not expect entire success in this
State We shall carry the State, but possibly
not without some loss in one of the Districts at
least though we rejoice to hear the prospect is
better than il appeared to be few weeks ago.
The Native Americans started an independent
ticket in New Orleans, encouraged by their sue
cess in the election Of Mayor But we are glad
TO perceive that Judge Guion, their nominee.
has declined running as their candidate, and
conJures them to unite upon the regular nomi-
nee, and present worthy incumbent, Mr.. White
The contest will be between Mr.. White, (Opp. J
and Gilbert Leonard, (Adm.) and we think il
will result in favor Of Mr.. White.
In the I'd District the Loco-focos have nomi-
mated very popular man and moderate parti-
Fan, Gen. J. b. Dawson, and until recently we
have had no doubt Of his success against r. Ct.
Morgan, the Opp. candidate Our friends need
not be disappointed if they are beaten in that
District, nor should it be permitted to inspire
any misgivings as to other Southern States
But if we should succeed, SO much the better
cause for rejoicing.
In the Sd District, the contest is between Jno
Moore, Opp, and Richard VIM, Adm

THE sUB-TREASURY BILL.

The debate upon this bill has been distin-
gushed, Of late, by some Of the most interesting
and valuable speeches we have ever listened to
in Congress.
On Thursday, Mr. VIM. Cost Johnson Of
Md, and Mr.. Andrews, Of Kentucky, spoke
against the measure and took occasion to ex-
pose the ruinous character of the Administra-
tons policy in most effective manner.
Yesterday, Mr.. McCarty, Of Va, made an
able speech against the bill He was followed
by Mr.. Biddle, Of Penn, who strikingly pre-
scented the great objections to this measure. He
dwet, with the force and earnestness which so
peculiarly distinguish his eloquence on the mis-
chievous consequences II must bring to the great
mass Of the people.
During the morning. Mr.. Clifford, of Maine,
offered resolution, which was agreed to, or
dering that the bill shall be taken out of Com
mittee Of the Whole on Monday next and, on
the following day, be taken up in the House,
and considered, until finally disposed Of. It is
probable, therefore, that this distinguishing
measure Of the Administration Of Martin Van
Buren,, condemned and rejected as il has been
over and over again by the people, will become
the law of the land on Tuesday OF Wednesday
next.
Let the Destructives go on Their triumph
will be short-lived

he had been particularly the bect OF attack and mis-
representation abroad but that he hoped to have been

his absence, the Senator from Massachusetts Mr..

use Of the phrase engaged in trade instead OF the
phrase engaged in trading which latter phrase Mr.
Wall maintained, was popular, and applicable to all,
while the former was strictly technical and applicable
only TO the mercantile classes.
Mr. WEBSTER, in explanation, remarked thai
the honorable Senator had maintained throughout as

exclusively to traders at least to those who should
be included in the class of traders by an act Of eps

Federal Loco-Foco VIOLENCE.

Of Representatives on Thursday:

Thus they go! The standing rules Of the
House-the established and uniform practice

sions OF the Speaker, accordant with the law,
with usage, with all precedent, are blown away

People, and systematically opposing for their
own selfish advantage, all the great interests of
the country.
