merits of the Distribution policy beng largely
discussed, which was presented in somewhat
new aspect by the admission of iIr. Clay, that 1t
was question of direct or indirect taxation to
the extent of the dstributive share of each State
thus acknowledging to the full what has been
charged by the opponents of the measure, that
its effect would be tonake the Federal Govern
ment the tax gatherer of the States for State
purposes. Before the question was taken the
Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The consideration of the resolutions of Gen.
sure on Mr.. Adams was resumed, and he having
expressed Willingness to yield the floor if any
gentleman wished to make motion to lay the
subject on the table, Mr.. Bolts rose and made a
motion to lay the whole subject on the table,
which was agreed to. ayes 106, noes 90. The
question was then taken OH the motion of Mr.
Turney, to reconsider the vote by which the
motion to receive the Dissolution petition was
laid on the table, and twas carried-ayes. IA
noes So. The question was then taken direct
ly on receiving the petition, and it was decided
in the negative-ayes forty nays one hundred ana
Sirty sic. So much for tie sacred right of petit
ton: when brought to the test. Many of the
Wings desired to be excused fromvoting but the
House refused, and they were compelled to face
the vote. This question having been disposed
of, Mr.. Adams said he had two other petitions
for the same object, which he would reserve for
another occasion. He then proceeded to pre-
sent agreat variety of Abolition petitions, which
were either disposed of under the 2Ist rule, or
by laying the motion to receive ON the table,
Petitions were also presented from New Hamp-
shire and Maine, and then the House adjourned.

AMERICAN PRISONERS IN MEXICO

AMERICAN PRISONERsl lin MEAlCo'
Great excitement exists in New Orleans in rc!a-
ton to the capture and treatment OF the Ameri-
can citizens, connected as guests with the Santa
Fe expedition. The lower House oi the Legis-
lature had unanimously passed spirited resolu-
tions on the subject; end public meeting of citi-
xens was called for the 5lh instant, to take into
consideration the proper means to be pursued, to
libcrate our felow-ctizens now IN CHAINS IN the
city of Mexico and to assist those citizens OF
Texas who have been taken prisoners through
duplicity official treachcry, and treated with q
rigor and cruelty without parallel in the annals
ofcivilized nations"

COMPANY MUsTERs-FTNEs.

For the benefit Of those interested, we COPY
the l2lst section of the Military Act, as ratified
by the Legislature at its last session, by which
it will be seen that the fine for the non-attend-
ancc at company musters, OF nome commissioned
officer, musician or private, is Ten Dollars, and
fifty per cent. on the amount of the last general
tax This is clearly a mistake, and is thus ex-
planned by the Editor of the South Carolinian:--
"In the original bill, asst passed both Houses,
and was placed in the hands Of the Committee
on Engrossed Acts, the fine is plainly 'two dol
lars and fifty per cent. on the last general
ETC." Inthc copy taken under the control Of the
Committee, it is with equal p!ainness, stem dol
lars-by mistake, of course; but the error was of
course overlooked, in comparing the copy with
the original, and that copy (the Engrossed Act,1
was SO ratified, in due form, and is now the only
law and authority"
The Carolinian further remarks, that aas.the
Legislature doubtless intended to make the fine
"two dollars" etc. there can be no doubt that it
will make it SO, at the next session, by an act to
that effect But till then, "rEN dollars, and fifty
per cent upon the last general tax, is clearly the
legal fine; and, lest any one should. still doubt,
we may remark, that such is the opinion of one
of the most eminent lawyers Of this town whom
we have consulted"
The following is the section ofthe Actalluded
to- -..., -a-' ss..4ss.-5 q =
CXXI. For non-attendance at accompany mus
ter, the following fines shall be imposed to-wit:
On captain, fifteen dollars; on a Lieutenant or
ensign, ten dollars; and on a nome mmissioned
officer, musician or private, ten dollars and fifty
per cent on the amount of the last general tax of
such delinquent officer, non-commissioned Of
fcer, musician or private:" - +

THE LOAN.

The Secretary Of the Treasury has advertls-
ed, as our readers have seen, for three and a
half millions Of the loan lately authorized by
Congress Accounts from New York, received
Yesterday, are favorable 10 the prospect OF
this portion of the loan being subscribed for at
reasonable rates. We cannot but hope that the
condition of things has reached its lowest point,
and that Congress will now follow up the Loan
Bill with such other efficient measures as shall
Immediately bring the credit of the Government
TO its usual high state. To this end nothing
can be wanting but suitable provision for reve-
nue.. How eminent will be the service, and
how envable the fortune of that man, or those
men, who, by spirited and cordial efforts, shall
redeem the consequences Of past delay, and give
10 the country, before June expires, not only
substantial and ample revenue, but well con-
sidered plan of finance and currency! All this
service is practicable; all this distinction easily

DAGUERRE's MAGICAL PICTURES

No exhibition has ever been more justly appreciated
and universally admired. There has been added a
new Picture representing the highly trimmed Coffin
Of Napoleon in the Church Des hralides at Paris,
also from the pencil Of Mons. Dagueire, and which
has equal claims to regard with those before noticed
The magic effects of these Pictures cannot be wit
messed without creating asonshment and delight, and
no one who has seen them but must concede that they
form the greatest curiosity of art ever shown to the
American public. We would recommend every con-
nosseur of the fine arts to visit these Pictures without
delay as the proprietors M. M Marley & Lonati will
shortly close their interesting exhibition.

should the present mad policy be persisted in.
the gentlemen who are so devoted to Bank
will be permitted to retire to the shades Of pri-
vate life, there TO contemplate. at their leisure
the surprising loneliness Of their idol. They
may hope to effect their object before they re-
tire, but in this they will be disappointed, as
their terms of service will have expired with the
next session, and then farewell a long fare
well to all their greatness. In the meanwhile,
what is to become of the country2 Why, it
must continue to suffer, unless the energies Of
the People can enable them to rise superior to
their wrongs, under the guidance Of prudence,
frugality, and perseverance.

regoing public that this establishment reopens THIS

returned from New Orleans, will appear, and per-

A NATIONAL BANK.

The Globe seems to fear that the present Ad-
ministration will recommend an "old fashioned"
National Bank yet. We thought that the most
ultra 'hard' men had better opinion OF the
President and the Cabinet, after the scenes they
have just passed through-scenes endured, be-
cause of their opposition TO such an institution
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-04-21

For oursef we can say that the whole income OF
the President would not make Us agree with the Ma
disonan.-U. S. Gazette.
That will never be tested. You might as
well say, 81 would net do it TO save your life"
We won't put it in jeopardy TO try the expert
ment. But wherein does the Gazette differ with
US? 1t, too, was in favor of Mr.. Ewing's Bill.

| commerce and commercial marine. Upon IN.
yestigation, however, we find that Of the capital
and labor employed in producing piece of sa,
tnet and negro cloth. only portion has been
seen in the factory village. The entire fleece
of several Of the large Aocks of Saxony sheep
selected with great care, and now whitening the
hills Of Vermont, of New York, or Pennsylva-
MIA, is destined for the satinet factory of Massa-
chusetts; and the cotton is being picked and
glnned in Alabama, for the warp Of the future
satlnets and negro cloths, TO be Ie-shipped in
Boston or New York, combined with the wool
of the North, TO clothe the planters and laborers
who produced it, Two ships from Smyrna and
South America are loaded chiefly with course
wool for this satinet factory, and but for the de-
mand created by il and similar establishments
for this article, these ships and numerous others
engaged in the same trade could not find en-
ployment.
We might easily trace through numerous I'M
seen avenues that vital connection existing be-
| tween the three great branches of national in
dustry, agriculture, commerce and manufac-
lures but it would seem only necessary that a
reasonable man should direct his attention to
the subject to become satisfied that no perma-
nent advantage can be enjoyed by one of them
without participation by the others and in con-
siderng single case like the one we have sup
posed, others will be suggested to his mind in
which this reciprocating connection is still more
apparent
Whenever the Tariff question has been made a
subject Of discussion, hitherto ithas been claimed
by the jealous champions offee trade, that's scale
of duties which should, in its operation, serve to
protect in any degree the manufactures of the
country, must, to the same extent, depress the
agricultural and commercial interests--as if
these great interests were, in the nature of
things, antagonist to each other. The falacy Of
these opinions is proved as well by reference to
the past, as by every days observation; and we
are happy to know, that many who have been
utterly impracticable on this subject are now
ready in considering it to be guided by the sure
lights Of experience. and to discard any theory
however cherished--which is opposed by facts.
Even in regard to important principles of gov
eminent, honest men are often mistaken and
there is perhaps no better evidence of true great
ness than readiness to change even these,
when the judgment becomes perfectly satisfied
that false ones have long been valued as true
Opinions-they still take wider range
Find, if you can, in what you cannot change.

CONGRESS-.

In the House Of Representatives, yesterday
Mr.. Dean, from the Committee on the Terrific
res, reported bill for the relief of the inhabi-
tants of West Florida, which was read twice
and referred to the Committee of the Whole on
the state of the Union
The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill
was then taken up, when the amendments adopt
ed in Committee of the Whole were concurred
in by the House, and the bill was engrossed for
third reading.
Mr.. j. r. Ingersoll, from the Committee Of
Ways and Means, reported bill to fix and pro-
vide for certain incidental expenses of the Go
vernment, and for the compensation of officers
connected herewith.
The bill providing that one term Of the Cir
cult Court Of the United States shall be held at
Columbus, and the other at Cincinnati, Ohio,
instead Of both terms being held annually at the
first named city, as heretofore, was read third
time and passed-yeas 100, nays AZ.
On the motion of Mr.. Fillmore, the House re-
solved itself into a Committee Of the Whole on
the state of the Union, (Mr. Allen, of Maine, IN
the Chair.)
MI llltnOTe urged tue necessity Tor taxing
up the bill making appropriations for the support
OF the army and the military academy at West
Point for the year 1912; and made motion to
this effect but it did not prevail-ayes 70, nays
78.
Mr.. Gushing moved to proceed to the cons-
deraton of the bill to establish a Board Of the
Exchequer; but the effort was Intellectual and
The House then took up the Apporlonment
bill.
Mr.. Stuart, OF Illinois, moved to strike out
$4,000, which was proposed as the representa-
tive ratio. The motion was agreed to, and
$4,000 was inserted in lieu thereof Should this
bill become law, as thus amended, the
number of Representatives, we believe, will
be two hundred and sixty-one.
The Committee rose, and the Speaker, hav-
ing resumed the Chair, laid before the House a
communication from the Secretary of the Ma
Wy, inviting the members to visit the steam
ships Mississippi and Missouri.
On the motion of Mr.. Wise, it was ordered
that the House will adjourn at twelve o'clock
on Saturday for that purpose.
The House then adjourned.

THE GLOBE, COMMERCIAL, AND US.

The Globe attributes some articles recently
published in the New York Commercial Adver-
vertiser, TO the same pen that produces articles
on the same subject Currency for the Madiso-
Man, and both to Mr. Webster. 1t makes a
column and a half OF the material. Now it is a
pity to dash its curiously wrought fabric down.
But really our contemporary is wide of the mark
this time. We must solemnly insist upon 1t
that the article copied from this paper, was writ
ten by the editor, whose name is on the title
page, and the others-in the Commercial
were written by concerted Loco Foco! The
gentleman is here to answer for himself. Will
the Globe call for his name
