Mn. Bolts SPEECH on THE BANK.

Mr.. Bolts SPEECH on THE BANK.
We recaiyed copy, day or Two ago, OF Nj,
Boris speech on tho Bank Bill, vetoed BY the
President 1t abeunds with cogent and forcibIe
arguments in favor Of National Bank, both as 10
constitutionality, the great stumbling block TO the
haif-spIiliing eeastruc,ionists Of the Constitution
in Congress, and It's expediency, Of which there is
very little doubt al this time. Mr.. BORIS takes
the history Of the couutry, and the recorded opn-
ions of the sagss Of former years for his book
and incontssbly proves that the power to create a
Bank, is function Of Congress, and that this pow
81, however denied by the absrsc,onists md loco To-
paftizans, may be considered settled by the repeat
ed recognilions Of the CO ordinate branches Of the
government, and by the People themselves. This
was the view which Mr.. MAppoS took of the sui
ject, and which induced him to sign the bill Great
ing the last U. s. Bank, after having vetoed pre-
yious one.
The subject Of Bank, either 10 view Gifts eonst-
tutionality, or expectancy, has almost ceased to be
discussed, because 1, is admitted BY ALL that no new
light can be shed upon it, No one doubts, 9. least
none acquainted with the history Of the subject that

lated, on us constitutonality alone, all surmises
and doubts as 10 the power Of Congress to charter
such institution would be set aside, as they have
heretofore been, by the highest authority known
to Us, and that the honest opponents of the mea-
sure would find themselves in very small minor
Ivy upon it. But at the present day, who can hope
for such decision, when it is palpable that so
much Of the opposition to the measure comes from
tho violent partizans of the day, who, for the
last ten years. hase opposed Bank party
grounds, and on those grounds alone.

him off, to head him. by presenting him
the bill reported to the Senate By Mr.. Ew.
+ ing--a bill which had been ten weeks be.
I fore Congress, aud ichich TIE Presideni
had pledged himseT 10 my members Of this
House to sign. We we're then informed
that The President could not sign his own
bill. And why Because he had new
er read it'--np 10 the 18th Of August |
deny il was Dir. Ewlng's plan Of bank.
You cannot lasten il on him MS his. 1t
was the Presidents plan. Why there is
not man or womau--no, not boy Of
any intelligence in the country, who does
nc. know that such bill as that never
was, or could have been drawn, to meet
the views OF the Cabinet. No; il was
drawn TO suit the President, who has
changed as often rs the sun has risen since
the present Congress met. The last Ex-
change Bank Bill was not in the conicm-
piailon OF any man. II was framed for
the "views shadowed forth" in the Veto
Message; with the express hope that il
.mgh, receive bis signature, believing it,
in good faith, to be bank TO which stock
would be subscribed. But this is not the
time 70 90 into that subject. Il was franz
ed with the express intention to obviate
any objection the President had put forth.
Yet, mark me lT WILL NOT RE SIGNED
And when il comes back here shall have
some things to say upon il. As to my
letter. claim the whole responsibility,
and fully exoneraic the Wing party from
any share in il.
The debate was farther continued by
Mr.. Profit, who went at large into an ox-
PLANTATION and defence OF his course.
BY MIR. Dawson, who, after some con-
CALCULATIONS on the freedom Of debate, in
voked the House to return to the conside.
ratlon'of the bill before it.
And by Mr.. Briggs, who strongly urg-
ed the same appeal.
MIR. Payne, OF Alabama, and Mr.. c.
Brown, of Pennsylvania, INDUCED them
selves in abuse Of Mr.. Granger.
Mr.. Gushing took part in the discussion,
and made reply TO the remarks Of Mr..
Arnold and Mr.. Bolts. He referred par.
ticulariy to what had been said by MIR.
Bolts. In respect TO the Interests Of the
great Wing party, ond Of the union Of the
party, and in regard for the People, ho,ook
exception. He took issue upon the charge
that the President had been guilty OF buse
treachery to the Wing party, which be
repealed.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Mar.

political matters, which created great
sensation in the Hall. lie replied to Mr..
Wise, and MIR. Wise replied TO him.

All who are conversant with French

Of style which marked the announcements
in The Mon,ieur, (ihe official Joufnal) of
Napoleon's progress 10 Paris, after his
escape from Elba. When he first touch
cd the French shores. the "Corsican ii.
ger" had broken loose--when he arrived
in the Capital, "the Emperor bad return
ed to the arms Of his beloved country"
Something of this" may be seen in tho
style adopted by the present particular
friends Of the President. About two
months ago, the most that could be drawn
from them, was John Tyler, acting Pre-

VIRGINIA IuPRACTIcABLEs.

That portion of the Virginia Wing delegation
in Congress at least those elected as Whgs,
who voted against the Bank Bill, have been taken
Ia hand By their constituents, and handled in a RAJ
ther severe manner. A short time since the CON
s,ituents of Dr. MALLORY, in tire Norfolk District,
held meeting, and very plainly told their repre-
sentative that he was most grossly miSrepresenting
them in hi, denuuciati of certain Of the leading
measures Of the Wings, during the present session
Of Congress. And in the Charlottesville Districf,
represented by ex. Governor GILMER, the Wings
have held meeting, and from the substance of the
resolutions they have adopted, it may be inferred
that the services of Gov. Glmer are not likely to be
ngain called in reqaisi,ion, nasmuch as they have
requested another gentleman, "a good man and
true" to Lecoms candidate--and he has accept
ed the nomination.
The following are some Of the resolutions passed
at the meeting, in MIR. Glmers district:
|. Reso'rei, That Congress hath the power ia
incorporate a National Bank, and that it is expe-
dent and proper at this time exercise that pow
er.
,. Resoloed That Congress hath the right to
distribute the proceeds Of the public lands cedod
by the States, and that such distribution is both
polite and just, and that the same right extends
To the proceeds Of the lands purchased by the Unit
ed States, and that the should be distributed
In like manner, and that such proceeds should mol
be considered part Of the revenue Of the United
States. but trust fund for the benefit of all
the States.
g. Resoived That this meeting highly approve
the measures passed by the present Congress, as
eminently conducive 10 the welfare and prosperity
Of the country.
d. Resolved, That we cherish an undated at
sachment to the great principles of reform that
brought the wing party into power. aud that we
will not tolerate any deviation from, or abandon
ment Of tEem.

THE CASE OF MARY c. RoGERs.-Va
rious conflicting and contradictory state
Il, snts and reports in relation to THIS un.
fortunate girl have appeared in the city
prints for the last few days, some OF them
endeavorng to convey the belief that the
body found at Hoboken was not that OF
Mary, but that she had eloped and absent,
ed herself from her mothers roof TO avoid
union with one disagrecabe to her, but
whom her mother insisted upon her mar
rying. We have been silent on the sub.
iect for the last few days, in the hope that
some certain information NIGH, be receiv.
ed on the subject, bat from all we can as
certain, and from the opinion Of the ma
gistrates, the friends of tho missing girl,
and careful investigation of all the pub
ished statements and facts that have come
to light, i, is our decided opinion that the
body found a, Hoboken ras that Of Mary
c. Rogers. and that she now quietly re.
poses in the grave in that long and deep
sleep from which there is no awakening
till tho resurrection trump shall sound. -
We still think it the duty ofthe Governor
and the Mayor TO offer rewards for the
detection OF her murderers. ~ Y. Star.

of any duty being hereafter imposed upon

rate Of twenty per cent. I'D valorem on

Habees Corpus, issued out Of the Supreme
Judicial Court Of Boston, was lately served
upon Mrs. Mary B. Taylor, at the house
OF Laban Morse, in Athol, where she was
visiting with her family, ordering her to
produce the body of colored boy, An.
son or Anderson, about ten years Of age,
whom, it was alleged, she claimed to hold
as a slave of her husband, James Taylor,
of Columbia, Arkansas, and intended to
carry back to Arkansas. there TO. keep
HIM as a slave.
The matter was heard before Chief JUS
tice Shaw and Judge White.
The answer put in for Mrs. Taylor,
was that she was the wife Of James Tay.
IoI, of Arkansas that the boy Anderson
was born and reared as slave, on her
husbands plantation, where he had pa
rents, and brothers and sisters; that he
came to this State with her in her family /;
that he remained with her from attach
ment and choice that no restraint was
put upon him or claimed over him, except
what the laws Of Massachusetts author
lied in similar cases towards other chill
dren; that she intended 10 return to Ar.
kansas, but dsclaimed all intention Of car.
rying the boy, or forcing him to go, ex-
cept with his his own consent and choice,
or IN accordance with the laws as to mi.
nors in Ike cases.
