Indians credit and subsequently receive their pay
in the course of their traffic in the Indian country
With view to carry into execution the full spirit
and object of the law, and to prevent, far may
be within the power of this Department, the intro
duction into their country and the by the Indians

From the .4merican Sentinel.

Intelligence of the approval of the Resumption act
by Governor Porter received in this city Sun
day. 1t is intended to go into operation at once.
We understand that the demand for specie yesterday
was quite moderate but that little or none was paid
out the directors of the Banks not having official in
formation of the passage of the BILL and perhaps not
having decided their course in relation to it. 1t is
by some, that the accepting banks will resist
the act as unconstitutional, until judicial decision
is had upon it ; and that the non-accepting banks,
having but little paper of their own in circulation
will their oars, until the question shall be set

MEASURES OF THE ADMINISTRATION

In taking review of some of the measures
OF the Administration few days since, we
took occasion to notice, in passing, the effect
that they would necessarily have in encourag-
ing the industry Of the country. To the en-
couragement thus afforded, no valid objection
can be raised by the most fastdous advocate Of
State rights, or of the protective system. The
distribution Of the funds derived from the Peo-
pie, in the form of taxes, among the different
descriptions of the producing classes, thus
in effect, making the Government the medium
of restoring to the taxpayers the money they
have contributed, in return for their labor and
ingenuity, has always been regarded as the
true secret of successful finance. TO furnish
an illustration OF the effects to be derived from
such process as the one we have mentioned,
we will suppose case which, unfortunately,
has not existed as it should have done. Let us
imagine that the views presented by Heads of
Departments, had engaged, as they should have
done, the immediate attention of Congress,
and that supplies had been granted, in confolmi-
ty with the acquisitions made, at an early pc
Rod of the session. SO soon as the means
were placed at their disposal, the Secretaries Of
War and the Navy would have commenced OPP
era.ons, by putting under contract the works in
contemplation. Where Notifications were to
be constructed, or repaired the Department of
War would have furnished employment to the
stone mason, the carpenter, the blacksmith, the
day laborer, &c, where ships were TO be
built; the Department Of the Navy would
have furnished occupation TO the vender
of ship timber. the ship builder, the engine
maker, the iron founder, and, in word, to ar
tisans connected with almost every branch OF
practical mechanics The first consequence Of
such train Of operations would have been to
identify the interests of all the parties employed
with the prosperity of the Government and of
the country, and to iniuse feeling of conf
dence and hope, where distrust and dread Of the
future had previously existed. Nor is this all.
Not only would the spirits of the working
classes have been revived, but more solid bene-
fits would have been secured in their behalf
The fruits of employment are wages, which,
being regularly paid in cash or Government
securities, would have afforded the means OF
cancellinc individual Indebtedness at a season,
and during time Of pressure, VIII private
funds were permitted to lie idle, or, if used,
were doed out with the timidity and caution
which uncertainty of profitable investment
never fails to engender.
We may here notice, as collateral to our sub
lect, an effect which would have been pro-

In the House of Representatives, Mr.. Halsted

The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1842-03-17


Mr. Thompson, OF Mississippi, asked the con
sent Of the House to take up the resolution sub
mitted hy him some days since, requiring the
Secretary of the Treasury to report to the House
the amount of fees and official emoluments re-
ceved by the marshals, clerks, and district at
torneys for the district of Mississippi, &c. Mr..
Roosevelt suggested, as modification, to add
the fees, &c. Of similar officers in the Southern
district of New York Mr.. Hopkins hoped the
inquiry would be made general. Mr.. Fillmore
objected, and the resolution was not taken up
Mr. Fillmore then moved that the House re-
solve itself into Committee Of the Whole,
which being agreed to, he moved that the APP
preparation bill be laid aside for the purpose Of
taking upon the Loan bill. The Chair decided
the motion to be out Of order. From this deci-
sion an appeal was taken, and it was reversed
by the House by a vote of 81 TO rs. The Loan
bill was then taken up, and the amendments
proposed by the Committee of Ways and
Means were read. The question coming up,
on the first amendment to extend the period for
Mr.. Wise moved to amend it by substituting
fifteen" for stwelve.' This motion was de-
bated at considerable length by Messrs Wise,
Gordon, Caruthers, Roosevelt, Fillmore, Under
wood, McKeon, Pendleton, Everett, Smith of
Virginia, Adams, and Cooper Of Georgia, and
was then negatived.
MIR. Smith, of Virginia. after some remarks
as to the advantage of loan for short term of
years, at high rate of interest over one for
long term at moderate interest, moved to
amend by increasing the interest to eight per
cent, stating that if the motion was carried he
would move to reduce the period for the reim-
bursement of the loan to three years. The mo-
ton was negatved.
Mr.. Cooper, of Ga, then moved to amend by
making the loan reimbursable in three years,
which was also negatived. Mr. Randall moved
to strike out of the same section the words g Ell
Their at the will of the Secretary. or" contending
that if they were retained, the loan would be for
an indefinite period. The motion was mega
lived.
The provision authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury TO sell the stock below par, should
it not be disposed of before certain period,
was warmly opposed by Messrs. Underwood
and Wise. Mr.. Fillmore obtained the floor to
reply, but yielded it to Mr.. Stanly, who moved
that The Committee rise, which was carried
Mr.. Mckay then submitted resolution, call
ing on the Secretary of the Treasury to inform
the House, whether any propositions have been
made to take the balance of the twelve million
loan, and upon what terms. The resolution was
agreed to, and the House adjourned.
Mr.. Calhoun addressed the Senate Yesterday
in opposition to Mr. Clay proposing
an augmentation of The tariff.
