wiser Of Graves; he fixed the points ofquarref;
laid the grounds of the challenge, and drew the

From the Union Demrcral
GOING AHEAD.

Particular attention is invoked TO the action
of the Wing Senate upon the Treasury Note
Bill. The reason gwen for a resort TO TTea-
sury Notes Is that about Sc 500, 600 Of the
twelve million loan authorized al the extra ses>
sion, cannot be negotiated. ON motion Of
Mr.. Glmer, 10 The House of Representatives,
the bill authorizing The issue of $5 000, 600 10
Treasury NnOtes' was put into such form as
to make these Notes, as far as Issued; sub
sGtute for so much of lbe loan, stil confining
the admins ration in its power to borrow mo-
my to the amount Of $l2 600, 600 already al.
thorizsp.
This does not suit orthodox Whigism which
not only seeks 10 enlarge the Public ExPendI~
tures, but 10 save the land money for distrL-
bu, on among the States even if The GovOvO-
ment have 10 borrow in consequence! Rally
ing its forces in The Senate, il has thor efore
struck out Mr.. Gilmer's provlso, so that the
bill now authorizes the issue Of $5 ,0CI0, 900 in
Treasury Notes, IN ADDITION TO. the $l2,
600 900 loan! Ii the House coucu,., we shall
see Wing Congress- not yet a ye ar in exist

disordery-that Mr. Wise poured his hottest
shot for nearly three hours, into this public

it will terminate, perhaps, in MIR. Adams

DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION.

The petition presented by Mr., Adams for
the peaceaAbls dissolution Of ,he Union, was
from Haverhi, in this State. The reasons set
forth are Bait, RepuPs
'FIrsi; because no Union can be agreeable
or permanent which does not present prospects
Of reciprocal benefit: Second, because a vast
proportion of the rovenne Of one section Of
the Union 10 annually drained to sustain the
views and course of another section, with
out any adequate return: Third, because,
jugng from the history Of past nations, that
Union if persisted in the present slate Of
things, will certainly overwhelm the whole
nation in destruction.'
We consider this movement disgrscefnI 10
the town from which II emanated, and deep
stain upon our Commonwealth. We hope that
every name to the petition will be published
that the whole nation may know The recreants
We are surprised that any man should con-
sent to offer such paper for the consideration
Of the National Legislature, and believe no
one would except he wond become embitter-
ed by disappointed ambition that his hairous
revenge would find pleasure in destroying a
nation too discerning aud patriotic 10 confide
government to his reckless .control.-BOston
