EXTRACT FROM MR.. GoRpoN,s SIP T

He might as well dispose of the gentleman from
North Carolina (Mr Stanly) whilst he had him in
hand And he (Mr. G had now something of a
grosser nature to refer o-he would not say of per-
sona character, for that would be out of order The
gentleman had yesterday said that he Mr.. @ spoke
so seldom that he had great mind then to take his
seat in order 10 give him (Mr. g. an opportunity to
speak. The reporter of the lnteligenaer" had
fallen into the of supposng that the allusion
made was to the gentleman from Virginia Mr.. Wse)
instead of to him Mr.. Gordon.) Now he would
ask, who was it in this House that always took care
of every body's business but bis own--who, except
the gentleman from North Carolina Who was it
that all occasions rising up and calling gentle
men to order =? Who it on this floor that was
constantly calling the previous question but the gen
teman from North Carolina? Who it that
always caechsng every member both friend and foe,
but the gentleman from North Carolina? Who was
it that all occasions spoke in the plural number
we"-who was it but the gentleman from North
Carolna2 Had the gentleman ever read Burns p
Did he remember the lines
Would some kind power the giftie gle us,
To see ourselves others US;
1t would from many blunder free u.s.
And foolish notion"

A voice. That's most opposite quotation
| Mr. Gordon proceeded. He had now done with
the gentleman from North Carolina by saying that

constituents and to them only. And he hoped the
gentleman and himself would become better acquant-
/ ed hereafter.

THE CREOLE CASE.

In matter which is likely TO call up much feeling
and on which prejudice is apt to msead the judg
ment, is very essential that we should keep in view
distinct knowledge of the facts Much that has
already been written the Creole CASE seems to have
arisen from misrepresentation of the claim put forth
by the American Government. Some ingenious,
though declamatory articles have appeared in jour
nal known to have been devotedly friendly to Mr.
Webster, which have since been presented to the at
tention of the public in pamphlet FORM After read
ing them carefully, it is well to turn again to the de-
spatch upon which they comment, when it cannot
fail to strike the attention that they most eloquent
in denouncng that which is not set fort in the
text. They Defend with much zeal, the proprety of
refusal the part of Great Britain to surrender the
persons who committed the alleged crimes; but it does
not appear, by Mr.. Websters despatch, that he de-
manded them.
We are friends admirers of the Secretary, but
are very willing to let the devil have his due" The
Secretary contents himself With narratng the facts
with allusOn to what the comfy of nations seemed
TO require; and decaIa alton that the Government
thinks it clear case for naturalization. He cites
the admission made by Lord PalmerstOn; contends
that the character Of the crew Of the Creole had not
been changed by the involuntary arrival of the
sci foreign port, and the interference of the local
authorities, but admits, it is not expected that the
persons in controversy to be sent TO the United
States.
The suppositious cases by which the argument is
maintained, cannot be objected to. The opium case
is very much to the point On the question of slavery
in the abstract, England is very fond of citing those
principles of right and wrong, which, in her own po
Icy, she has always trampled upon, and which, in all
cases of commercial reciprocity, she pronounces vi
sionay and Utopian for she has her own peculiar in
s,uons as well as her neghbors.
1t strikes us, therefore, that the claim made by the
American Government is, after ALL one of very nu-
meIous class; made by ono government and resisted
by another sometimes granted and sometimes denied.
Had not then BETTER let the English statesmen de-
fcnd their side in the controversy, without vo-
lunteering to them any aid Of our own2 Why it
should be called question of peace war, is diff
cult to understand. The Archives ofaI legations show
daily examples of demands and denals similar in their
general character, to the in point They the
results of hasty unskilful diplomacy, and do not
within the rule of "asking nothing that is not
clearly right submitting TO nothing that is clearly
wrong" This case, like many that have preceded it,
will in all probability, produce its ebulition, simmer,
and then subside into the great of events to be
forgotten.

The following paragraph from the Appalachicola

The following paragraph from the AppaIachicola
Journal deserves attention:
Insurrection in Santa Ddrtha-The following
particulars in connection with the outbreak, we derive
from Capt. ]. ID. Williamson, late commander of the
steamer Union, passenger by the British brig Eliza
beth, Price, from Santa Martha Captain William
son, who came down the river Magdalena, was taken
prisoner by the revolutionsts confined seven months
and pundered of property to the amount of $1,000.
The American Consul who certainly cannot be an
American, pcremptory refused his assistance or pro-
lection. Captain w and other Americans readily,
however obtained protection from the British minister
and was last indebted for his escape to Capt Price,
of the Elizabeth. Four or five Americans were still
in the province without projections and having also
been plundered, are without means. The u. 5. brig
of war Dolphin left Santa Martha for the United
States, probably msled by the false information
of the American Consul without affoTding them any
assistance.

TWO MORE BANKS GONE.

The process is nearly, if not quite completed, of
wiping off the insolvent banks which have always
stood in the way of the sound Ones and prevented
sumption. The run which was commenced upon the
Penn Township, one of the Relief banks, continued
one day, when the institution closed its doors and
officially announced that they would not be opened
again. The run yesterday morning then trans
ferred to the Mechanics Bank in Third street. above
Chestnut and after standing it about three hours, it
followed the example of the Penn Township and
shut up ALSO There was also brisk run upon the
Manufacturers and Mechanics Bank, corner of Third
and Vine street. which stood the test and continued
paying until the usual hour of closing the bank The
Moyamensng also in for share of the distrust,
and run was made upon it, but it net all the de-
mands against it. Three of these banks are those
which accepted of the Relief law passed last
sion, and put forth the bills called the Relief" is
sues. 1t was generally expected those that have
failed would go the moment they were held to any
accountability, and it is generally believed TO be all
the better that they out of the way Of the Others
though much individual loss is experienced in
quence of their failure.
OF the other banks, at least it is confidently
stated, willnow commence doing business on specie
basis. The sound banks have prepared for an mme-
date resumption; several of them yesterday paid
specie and issued their own notes.
