Erchequer.-We have not had time to say much
about the Exchequer Bill, reported by the House,

lie. We believe they have both given much satsfac
ton to all except the minority member, Mr. Davis,
Of KY, who made his counter report We are
glad to this-for on this subject both sides and
all sides ought to be exhibited. We suppose Mr..
Gushing will be allowed the honor of making his own
Report though the honor, very unjusty, believe,
was denied to Mr.. Forward. As to the Bill, there
was much, Of conrse, that was taken from Mr. For
wards Bill, and much Of this, Mr. F. took from
body else The cnmmunity have made from time to
time general contribution of their schemes on cur
rency, and the Secretary had right to disclose of
them as he thought best; but the Finanse Committee
have rejected goodly portion of what he bestowed
on Congress, and which called forth so many gall and
worm-wood speeches.. This bill comes in a
happy time, when all the bile of Congress has been
bestowed upon its predecessor. We shall shortly see
how the Bankites and the lshmaeltes regard Mr..
Cushing's Bill. They will doubtless show fight, and
Shandle their bows like crow-keeper;" but they
will find in Gushing Camanchan that will meet them
any ground and return their at every onset.
And he will be backed by able allies. Mr.. Roose-
welt and others of the committee fully understand the
subject and will be able to MAINTAIN the result of their
labor and beliberaton. There some provisions
in the Bill that will probably undergo amendments
and it is not unlikely provision two may eb added
but in the main, think it will find support in both
houses, if there be not too much jealousy and envy
on the subject. These ancient and immortal allies,
who always leagued in warfare against all reforms

call of the House, while this subject is the taps

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,


SIR In answer to your letter relating to sup
posed connection between you and the notification
movement in South Carolina, must say that was
not of any having existed, of any cores
pondence or interchange of opinion having transpned
between you and the members of the party to which
had the honor of belonging. Had heard that you
entertained the sentiments which have lately been
cribed to you should have remembered themes
pecially they entirely dissonant with those
avowed and cherished by the leading men of South
Carolina At that period, looked upon you as one
of many distinguished friends without the limits
of the State, who boldly undertook, under the most
dscouragng circumstances, to declare doctrines
and to vndicate them from the aspersons and wiful
misrepresentation of our opponents. In your able
efforts to sustain us-and for which | shall ever be
grateful-you maintained what conceived to be
the true principles Of the Constitution and, far from
being directed to dissolution of the Union, re-
garded them tending essentially to its preserva-
ton.
In my opinion, Mr. Johnston is not justified in say
ing that he was the confidential organ of party
Very few of us knew any thing more of him than
connected in some way with press in Columbia
one Gas belonging to the party) looked to
him for the tone of their sentiments the direction
of their movements. The Columbia papers, at that
time, under the control and supervision of seve-
raj gentlemen in Columbia, from whom alone Mr.
Johnston could have obtained the information rela-
tive to your views, if they had at all been commune
Gated to the party.
Deeming it unnecessary to assure you that have
never for moment questioned your ardent and de-
voted attachment to the Union under the Constitu-
ton, and that look upon all charges of the
turc against the nullhers as emanating from the mis-
representations with which the newspapers of that
day TENED
have the honor to be yours, respectfully,
