THE COMPROMISE.

After six weeks wrangling and caucus.
ing among the whig members of Con-
gress, Mr.. Clay has succeeded in riding his
"poney," as he calls the bank bill, through
the Senate. The bill as introduced, pro
vided that branches should be establish
ed in any part Of the Union, without the
assent of the States. Mr.. Clay, having
learned that this was too open an attack
upon State sovereignty to meet with the
appreciation Of all the whig Senators, pro
posed the following "compromise, )" which
barely passed by majority of one, the
vote on the amendment being 25 yeas to
"a nays.
"And the said directors may also estab.
lIsh one or more competent Offices Of
discount and deposit in any territory or
district of the United States, and in any
State, NTH the assent Of such State, and,
when established, the said office or offices
shall not be removed or Withdrawn by
the said directors prior to the expiration
of the charter, without the previous as
sent Of Congress: Provided, in respect
TO any State, which shall not, at the first
session Of the Legislature thereof held
after the passage of this act, by resolu-
tiOn or other usual legislative proceeding,
uncOndlionally assent or dissent TO the
establishment of such Office or Offices
within it, and the assent of the said State
shall thereafter be presumed; and provi-
ded, nevertheless, that when it shall be-
come necessary and proper for carrying
hho execution any of the powers granted
in the Constitution, 10 establish an Office
or offices in any Of the States whatever,
and the establishment whereof shall be
directed by law, it shall bo the duty of
the said directors to establish an office or
offices accordingly"
1t is strange that any man possessing
talent sufficient TO elevate him 10 the
United States Senate should have been
duped to support the bill by this amend.

one of the States is true enough to itself
to deny this power and pass law pro.

Congress may, in violation OF such State

PASSAGE OF THE BANK CHAR
TER IN THE SENATE.

The circumstances under which the
Bank Charter passed, deserve a commen'
tary, which we have not time to make
this evening. There are few facts ia
which we will call attention, TO mark the
character ofthe tranSactien.
First: The charter ful this new govern.
ment of the country, passed tho Senate
without obtaining the vote Of the majori,
Is Of the members ef that body. There
are kily-two membsrs-Tennessee is on.
" half represented in the body. IF her
full representation had voted as the frac.
ton oft voted on the question, aud the
other dissenting member from the bill
(Mr. Clayton) had been compelled to do
his duty, and vote according TO his own
sense Of his oath, the charter would have
fallen in the Senate.
Next: II Mr. Henderson had done his
duty yesterday, attended as hewas bound
10 do, and voted, as he says be would
have voted, according to the dictates Of
his conscience, the compromise, the a.
mendmeni, would have been rejected, and
then Messrs. Merrick ana others, who
.slood pledged to vote against the bill
without The amendment, would have de.
feated the measure. The Bank charter.
instead Of being passed by the extra Con.
gFess convened for The purpose, was thus
10 fact PasSed by hs abSence of Mr. Hen.
deFsOn. Il ought, therefore, to read, "be
Il enacted by the absence Of Mr. IIender.
seon,,' instead Of "be il enacted by the
Senate and House Of Representatives in
Congress assembled"

1sciual to fx upon the present genera.

CRors AROUND HARRISBURG. The Re-
porter of Friday, the 23d inst says: The
harvest is nearly all gathered in the val
ley around US, Immediately about the
town the crops of wheat aud rye have
been very light.-in some instances scarce,
lip half crop. In this end Of Cumber-
land county the same lightness Of crop
exists. In the upper end ofthis county,
tho grain has yielded about an average
quantity. The oat crop promises hea-
Wy return, and if a few showers should
fall upon the parched hills and meadows
of our neighborhood, it would take stall
corn" to beat the gathering our farmers
would carry TO their cribs.

Coz. BRENT AND Mn. CLAY-Col. w.
L. BRENT, Of Washington, a lawyer rcon-
siderable distinction, and formerly mem
Der of Congress from Louisiana, publish
es correspondence between himself and
Henry Clay, which shows up the would
be President in very unenviable light.
The correspondence grew out Of a scram-
BILE for the office Of District Attorney for
the District Of Columbia. Mr.. Brent was
one of the many whig applicants for the
Office, and had requested Mr.. Clay's IN
ffuenCe in his behalf. Mr. Clay said that
if Gen. Jones would not accept the Office,
he desired not TO interfere in the mat
ter, as the other candidates were equally
his friend; and he promised not to inter
fere between Mr.. Fendall and Mr.. Brent.
Mr.. Fendall succeeded in getting the ap.
poinlment: and Mr.. Brent, upon being
informed that Mr.. Clay had, in violation
Of his promise, interfered, wrote TO MIR.
Clay inquriDg if the information was cor.
rect. To this inquiry Mr.. Clay returned
a very short and insulting answer, evil
IDENTITY designed to frOwn MIR. Bren! 10 ST.
ience, stating that he had strongly recon-
mended The appointment Of Mr.. FendalE.
Mr.. Brent, neither fearing the opposition,
nor longer desiring the friendship of
man who had proved himself so utterly
destitute of honor, wrote another letter
accusing him of perfdy, and saying, 81
can no longer stand or feel towards you
as personal friend; and | conceive it
right 10 say so TO you, because view
your conduct as inSincerG, inconsistent
Nth the high estimate / haze heretofore
placed upon your character, and such as
no honorable man oughtto hare pursued"
Then comes another letter from the
scheming politician, Clay. He would
now fain cenciIiate the man whom ho
vainly attempted to frown TO silence
He returns Mr.. Brent's last letter, saying
that il should not be allowed to break of
their friendship, and that {" ! [Clay,] think
can make such explanations in regard
to my agency in the appointment Of Mr..
Ferdall, as ought TO satisfy you" Mr..
Brent answers thus" Under axisting
circumstances, cannot consent TO with
draw the enclosed letter; therefore re.
turn it to you, for fear my retaining it
might be construed into such Withdraw
al" Mr.. Clay doubtless desired that
the castgation should end here; and he
rested as well as he might with the letter
in his pocket, for about four weeks, when
Mr.. Brent again applied the lash by max.
ing public the correspondence, and expos.
ing Mr.. Clay's intrigues in such true
light as cannot fail to render him OdiOuS
to many of his former whig friends.

CoNGREss.-Clay's bank bill has at
length passed the Senate by majority
of three votes, and il will doubtless pass
the House in quick step. Then will
come the trial of Mr. Tyler's "Jeffersoni-
an" and States rights principles. The
two Virginia Senators voted against the
bill, and if Mr.. Tyler regards the voice Of
his own Stale, the sold Dominion" may
yet preserve the Constitution. The bill
will probably be laid before the Pres ident
for his signature or his veto in few
days.
The Senate has also passed a general
bankrupt bill, and there is probability
of its becoming law.

THE WHEAT CRoP IN Michigan
The Detroit Advertiser gives most en-
couraging account of the wheat crop
The simple fact that the crop looks poor
ly in two or three counties in New York
will not materially effect the supply
The increase of the product since last
year, in the counties within thirty miles of
Detroit, is greater, we are sure, than will
be the deficiency in New.York. And in
the State of Michigan there will be an
increase, over last years product, of
more than the entire product Of the
great Genessee Valley, for the crops in
Michigan seldom looked better. Although
there has not been great deal Of rain,
there has been enough to give sufficient
vigor to our great staple. lf there has
been deficiency elsewhere, the world
need not be alarmed. 1t can fall back
upon the prolific peninsula, which (the
Advertiser says) can furnish worse cur
rency and better wheat than any other
State in the Union.
