RErEAL.-The Bill, to repeal the Bankrupt
law which on the 18th as appears in our con-
gressional sketch was forced upon the House
of Representatives by the insanes, on Monday,
the 18th, was passed by large majority, l26
yeas "a nays, of course by larger majority
than appeared for the introduction of the bill.
The scene in the house upon the final passage
was marked with raising points of order, ap-
peals from the decisions Of the chair &c. But
the desperate repealers forced it along breaking
down in their course all rules of deliberate pro-
ceedings even upon ordinary enactments, gag
ging discussion by the previous question,united,
& at length a law whose adoption was discus
sed for weeks, was repealed at single sitting.
In the course of this despicable procedure
several gentlemen rose with petitions against
the repeal, who contended that the voice Of the
people should be heard, but in vain. The title
Of the Bill having been read Mr.. Arnold very
appropriately moved to amend it by adding
"It being the first important act of public ma
ton which has ever passed without debate.

ApPoRT1oNNENT. The committee Of ths
House to whom the appointment of members
of congress has been referred, has reported SO
Thousand as the representative member, Civ.
ing Vermont 4.---number of members 224.
The Treasury note bill, has passed, portion
of both parties voting for it. 1t was indispen-
sible to keep the government alive. The
treasury was absolutely empty. Why. The
Loan authorised by the last congress could not
but In part be obtained. Our own monied men
and institutions have become bankrupt, and
European capitalists will never lend money
while powerful party are crying out repu-
diation and repeal. Our state stocks are re.
turning in immense quantities from Europe,
and begging for purchasers at 20 cent on the
dollar.
NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY. During the extra
session the wings made appropriations of mil
lions. The country is confessedly in debt IL
millions; and yet the wings are charged with
the national Bankruptcy by the distructives in
congress. When Van Buren, came into pow
er there was surplus of "a millions which he
spent, together with the whole yearly income
OF the government and left the country in debt
II millions, which made the loan necessary.
Henry Clay, always great, noble and patri-
otto, on presenting petitions in favor of the
Bankrupt bill, denied IN the senate that he was
the author of the movement in the house a.
gainst it, or that he in any way influenced the
members from Kentucky, in their action upon
the repeal law. He declared the charge ex-
ecrable and false.

Houston, President of Texas:
PROCLAMATION TO THE CITIZENS OF TEXAS.
Ny Countrymen- Rumors have been brought
from the southwestern frontier of invasion.
Particulars have not been furnished to the
Executive. The facts are sufficient to JUS
tify immediate preparation for defensive war.
ALI who are subject to military duty are COM
handed TO be in readiness to repair equipped
TO the scene Of action, at the call Of the au-
thonties of the country. It is ordered that
the Colonel Of each county, for the present,
lay off the county. into Company Beats, and
direct the election of Captains and Subal-
terms, and arrange the members Of each COM
pany in three classes, agTeeably TO the class
in which they draw. When drafts may take
place, the Colonies of the different counties
shall have authority and power to accept
efficient substitutes into service.
Each man will be required, in the event OF
call by the President, to report himself fur
nished with good arms, eight days provi-
sion, and one hundred rounds of ammuni-
ton, and prepared for three months service
from the time when they may report at the
Head Quarters of the army.
In the event of formidable invasion, it i.
needless to appeal to the patriotism and valol
of the Texans. They have won Liberty and
Independence by their undaunted heroism-
they have enjoyed the blessings of freedom
and they are proud Of their national charac.
ter!
IF invasion should press upon us. we are
required by every sacred obligation to family,
friends and country, TO repel our invaders
with discontinue and dismay. IfWar should
come upon US we will make If orr business
We will be authorized to meet and pursue
our enemies with vengeance. They have
forgotten the generosity with which they
were treated when they were placed at the
footstoCl of Texan mercy! They were saved
when even humanity would have justified
retributive vengeance! Should Mexico a.
gain disregard the exalted principles of civ
iized and honorable warfare, they shall feel
that avenging arm that shall take of them full
recompense for oppression and cruelty!-
Texans can and will be free!-they would
prefer death to degradation, or the loss of
their independence.
