the people have it in their power to main
tain It. Without paper currency of our
own, the farmer and the mechanic can
refuse any money for their produce and
their labor, but the most approved bank
notes or specie. With such currency,
the specie is locked up in vaults of the
bank, and shadows only are in the hands
OF the people.
There are other facts disclosed by the
examination, TO which the committee would
have called the attention Of the legislature:
but having already extended the report to
greater lengths than was intended, they
submit them without comment.
From careful consideration Of the
whole subject, your committee feel con-
strained to recommend a repeal of this
charter, or such a modification of it as

such busine operations as were originally

This number of the paper concludes the
first six months of the 4th volume. Subscri-
bers will notice our terms. We would say
though, inasmuch as the travelling has been
exceedingly bad for some time, that all sub
scriptions paid before the publication of the
30th number, will be received at So so. At
ter that time, all subscriptions which have
overrup six months, will be charged $500;
and we trust none will think hard of us, for
generally speaking, it actually makes TO us
in rcceiv ing subscriptions so late, all the
difference we charge

CONGRESSIONAL.

We have received, as yet but little of i'm
portance from Washington. Tile roll was
called by the Clerk Of the last session: when
the New Hampshire delegation were called
Mr.. Campbell, of South Carolina, attempted
to raise question as to the right of the
members to seat, in consequence of non
compliance on the part of that State with
the District law of the last Congress. The
House refused to listen to objections at that
time. The roll was then called and quo
rum of members found present. The House
then proceeded to vote rira rocc, for Spea-
ker. On the first ballot, JOIN w. JONES,
of Virginia, had 1913 votes, JOHN WHITE,
of Kentucky, SO votes,-JouN w. JoNEs
was elected. On the question of adopting
the rules Of last session, a motion was made
by Mr.. Adams, that the 2lst Rule which
rejects abolition petitions, be rescinded. AT
ter some debate the House refused by a
vote of 95 to OIL to rcscind. The one hour
rule was rejected by vote of 96 TO %.
1t is to be regretted that the 2lst rule was
not rejected. We arc at loss to understand
how the representatives of a free people
could ever adopt such rule, and also why
free people do not thunder in the ears OF
their representatives in tones not to be mis-
understood, that the right of petition on any
subject shall not be denied. The oppo-
nents of abolition should themselves procure
lis repeal, for all experience is worth nothing
if such oppression does not strengthen the
cause which they combat---a cause, which IN
our opinion, if left to its natural course, would
die of itself. We are pleased that the one
hour rule has been suspended. Mr.. Bar.
nard, of New York, presented protest
against the admission to seats of the repre-.
sentatives elected by general ticket, and re.
questcd that it be spread on the Journal
The question of spreading it on the journal
was under discussion. In the House or
Wednesday, Caleb McNulty, of Ohio, wa:
elected Clerk. Blair & Rives will be sup
ported by the democratic members for prin
tiers TO the House. J. E. Dove, of Wash

is in admirable order His house is plain
