detract from the merits of others, and not intending
to become the culogst pulcr of any man. permit me
to say to the farmers and planters Of the District that it
IS tune for them to rid themselves of the demagogues
which have too long deceived them, and select some
man to represent their princ pies and interests in the
Senate-one who possesses identity of interest with
them, and who possesses firnness of purpose, and
sound practical sense. Such man you will find in
Thomas Davis, Esq, of the county Of Greene. Capt.
Davis has served several years in the House Of Dele
gates and always found faithful and true TO the in.
tercss of the people His name is presented without
consulting him. or knowing his feelings wishes on
the subject. lie will be voted for caucus rnurus.

WasnSGTos, July 2.-The two Houses of Congress
in the mds, Of grave debate on two great ques
lions Of the present Extra Session; in the House
the Bank question: in the other, the Land question, en-
gazing all their attention.
The only doubt which now hangs over the passage
at this session, of bill for establishing Bsnk, or
Fiscal Agent, results from the difference in opinion
between the friends Of the measure concerning the
branch feature of it. If that difference were recon
ciled so as 10 secure the nearly unanimous assent of
those who believe in the necessity Of the measure the
Bank nigh, be considered made so far as the law can
mike it.
In the Senate yesterday, the question between the
branch feature of Mr. Ewing sprojcct and that OF Mr.
Clays bill was fairly put in issue by motion of Mr.
Rves to substitute the former for the latter, and very
animated debate npon it The debate did not end
yesterday but will be continued 10 day
In the House of Representatives the debate on the
Land Bill is going on, and viii probably continue at
least the whole Of to-day and tomorrow.
