AT a meeting of the Republican Democracy, held

r. Heacock was called 10 the chair and ~ w

MIR. John Bates, Jr., from a committee of FIVE, re-
ported the following resolutions for the adoption OF
the meeting
Resolved, That we highly approve of the course OF
our present Chief Magistrate, John Tyler; and re.
oce that country has at last found an Executive
who, unrammelled by the spirit Of party will so act
as to ensure the greatest good TO the greatest num-
Der.
Resolred, That the time is approaching when the
vena attacks of bought presses will be sisnay re-
buked by this people, and truth and Justice be sus-
tanned at any and every sacrifice.
Resoired, That the steady, jealous and ardent
course of opposition towards National Bank as
manifested by our present Chief Magistrate in his
Senatorial, Executive and private capacity, entities
him TO the support Of all who opposed the ag-
grandsemcnt of the few at the expense Of the many
and will endear him TO the Republican Democracy
OF the country and TO the honest and consistent of
parties.
Resolved, That in the Exchequer scheme the Peo-
pie have at last, like the dove Of Old found rest
ing place from the storm which long has darken-
ed the financial horizon Of our beloved and injured
country, and that In proportion love the land
OF our birth or adoption, will rejoice at the pros
pect of speedy, e6ectus and permanent basis of
commercial and national wealth. prosperity and hap
piness as shadows forth in the present Exchequer
scheme.
Resoired, That the self-styled Wing party in Con-
gress, by the violent, wanon, uniustifabe and I'M
provoked attack on our present Chief Magistrate
have retarded the wheels of Government and squan
dered the resources Of the People, rendered them
selves odous, as fahess to their country, and trail
tors to their trust and must stand respon be TO the
country for the small amount Of business of impor
lance transacted by the present Congress.

1 ist Because the authority TO coin money be.
ins an attribute Of sovereignty, which can ne.
yer be safely delegated; the authority TO supply
a substitute for coin cannot be delegated with
any greater safety.
I'd. Because, if there is any prof, in furnish
ing the subs t,ute, il should accrue TO the whole
People.
Sd Because if the Government does not use
it's own credit in this form, il must often be sub
jeeted 10 the necessity of borrowing the credit
of individuals or incorporated bodies, and there
by often subjected to losses without any com
pensating advantage.
ath Because the Government bills of credit
thus thrown into circulation will not only sub
serve its own advantage and convenience in
saving large sums which must otherwise
be expended in the transportation Of spe-
Gle, but in their general round of circulation
do the same service for the citizen.
9Th. Because the Government bills will serve all
the legitimate purposes Of paper currency, and
on account of their higher degree of credit,
will be preferred before any other, and will
thereby drive all others out of circulation.
9th. Because the Government can thus sub
serve its own interests and convenience, and
the interests and convenience of the citizens in
neral, without detriment to the interests or
Liberties of any of its citizens.
7th. Because the authority to carry out this
measure, although not without liability to abuse,
is not more so than other more vital powers,
confided by the Constitution, which we look
upon as secured from abuse by the direct &C.
countabili'y Of the agents TO whom it IS con-
fded.
9Th. Because although, by reference TO his
tory, we find instances where governments have
issued their bills of credit to an extravagant ex-
cess beyond their means of redemption, yet we
find this has b en done under the most pressing
necessity-such as, 10 other times, led to a de-
basement of the coin-and done, too, where lit
tie accountability existed for the exercise of
power and then the unftequency of the occur
renee compared with instances of the arbitrary
abuse of other powers OF Government, would
seem to furnish guarantee against its repeti..
lion under circumstances of less temptation and
more direct accountability.

give a Concert this evening.
Madame de Goni has probably no superior upon

before the public with welearned reputation in
their delightful art, and cannot fail we hope 10 Sc

THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

THE NATIONAL 1NTELLIGENCER
We find the following item in yesterday IS
Intelligencer:
nesdsy:
:" The lntelligencer is complimenting Mr.. Conrad.
Week before last that paper asserted that he possess
ed neither intelligence nor candor.'"
No regular reader Of this paper could possibly
be deceived by misrepresentation so wanton and
gratuitous this. But attention has been d-
rected TO II by friend who thinks the assertion worth
contradiction, state that the sIntellgencer'
never, at any time, uttered word derogatory to the
character OF MIR Conrad as a sound statesman and
accomplished gentleman, mentioned his
name otherwise than wi h the respect due to it."
Now, if the regular reader Of the Intei-
gencer will refer TO that paper dated 26th Janua-
ry last Qess than month ago. he will find the
following passage in the leading editorial:
Men Of eundor and nieHg ence Of both countries see
IN the Treaty nothing but honorable and just settle
meni n long pending difficulties"
Wewere glad los the Intelligencer even seem
ing to make an efort-though at the eleventh
hour, and after the danger was over-to defend
the Treaty, and so expressed ourselves; but mas
much as Mr.. Conrad had just published his
speech denouncing the Treaty, we took il for
granted that the bolt was aimed specially at
him. 1t undoubtedly placed him in the same
category with the rest of III factous opponents
of the Treaty, from which there is no escape,
unless the Integencer refracts the assertion.
But the Intelligencer says it did no, mention his

taken. That for all the ordinary purposes of
commerce 1t is sufficient That for these
purposes, the introduction of paper substitute
has proved mischevous in all, and more than
all the ways they have pointed out That il
was wrong in the Government to countenance
the use of paper for such purposes, because with
out the countenance of the Government the use
never could have prevailed to any great extcut.
But for the extraordinary purposes Of com

A CLERICo-PoLITICo CURIOSITY

The Jonesboro' (Tenn.) Wing, with Mr..
Clay's name, in tremendous letters, al its mast,
is edited by a Methodist preacher. The follow
ing is the leading editorial in the last number
received at this office:
A SIX BARREL PISTOL.
The lying editor of the Sentinel has now repeated
between fifty and one hundred times, in five weeks
that we own and carry pistol having sir bayrels.-
What will the public think, when solemnly de.
clare that we such pistol nor have we during
the past tino years. We own but two in the world
| each Of which has baTei-one we carry, and the
other we loaned to Mr. Jones, the day after the Sc.
cond fight with Crouch. One of these pistols we
bought in the spring of $780, and have owned ever
since. The one we keep constantly about US, cos
| thirty-fve dollars; the one lei Mr.. Jones have
cost ten dollars Neither has nor ever had more
than one barrel.
We have had, during the last three years, some
three different pistols sent TO care by friends il
adjoining counties-one TO be handed to a certain
gentleman and the other two to be repaired al
| which was attended to, and, SO far know, are
now IN the possession of their proper owners. The
pistol with which Jones shot Crouch was not ours

before instead of aer the fight he should have had
it. And if we had been at home instead of eight
miles from town. we were the probability is he
would have had our fine pistol, in which event Mr.
Crouchs skull would not have turned out buiieprooJ
as it did
We have now given a true detail Of the character,
cost and origin of arms and of the facts relating
to Jones' pistol For the want of this information
Haynes has lied frequently and egregiousy He
can make any use of this knowledge he may choose.
Meanwhile, if it will cause him to tell the truth here

PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS.

Mr. PlCKENS wished TO make an appeal to The
House, before the question was taken to permit a
personal explanation TO be made, in which several
gentlemen were interested. IL would not occupy
i've minutes; and this courtesy had usually been
extended, he could not think that IL would be denied
on the present occasion.
Mr.. THOMPSON, Of Mississippi, said he would
only take a minute On the day before YESTERDAY
while proceeding with his remarks, he was inter.
rupted by the gentleman from North Carolina I'M
Rsyner) He heard the observations Of the gentle
man imperfectly, but he had since been informed h.
they reflected injuriously the State Of Mississippi
and himself These observations were not reported
IN the papers and, as the gentleman was not in his
seat yesterday, he took this occasion to ask him what
was the intention Of his remarks.
Mr.. RAYNER said he did not know 90 what OBJ
serYations the gentleman alluded. As he lNr

that he received his information from some mischief
making person. In what he did say however, he
meant nothing offensive to the State Of Mississippi,
or to the gentleman personally; aud he owed It TO
HIMSELF to remark that he would not travel out Of his
way for such purpose.
