TWENTY.EIGHTH CONGRESS-,
FIRST SESSION. ffu3
MONDAY, JANUARY 80, 1874.
SENATE.

Tt OENAlE. Dt lo
Mr. SIMMONS, Of r. l., appeared in his seat
to-day.
The following petitions were presented:
MIR. POSTER, the memorial of the Legisa-
tnre of Tennessee, asking the establishment OF a
Naval Depot on the Western waters.
Mr. MERRICK, the petition Of J. II. Penning-
ton, praying an appropriation to. test his flying
machines. Also, from citizens OF Fairfax CO.,
Virgins, praying for the re-charter of the Far
mers aud Mechanics Bank of Georgetown.
Mr. WRIGHT, from citizens of Albion, N. Y,
for the reduction u postage. 't
Mr. KING, from sundry citizens of Alexan-
dra, stating that under the charter to the coun-
Gil Of that city, they have incurred debt Of half
million; that last year they issued 100000,
and gave it to the Canal Company, when the
whole stock Of this company was not worth
$4,000. They further say that the system Of
taxation is such as to protect capitalists, while
it is bur.hensome to the industrial classes.
REPORTS.
Mr.. JARNAGIN, from the Committee on
Military Affairs, made several adverse reports.
Mr.. WRIGHT, from the same committee,
made favorable report in the case Of Daniel
Skinner; also in the cases of Clinch Mcintosh
ct al, claiming indemnity for losses Of property
during the Florida war.
Mr.. PEARCE, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, reported bill for the relief OF James
Mcintosh.
FOX AND WISCONSIN RIVERS.
Senate bill, (No. 33) concerning the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers, was taken up. A motion to
reconsider the amendment already passed upon,
prevailed.
Mr.. WOODBRIDGE complained, not for him
self, that his remarks about the Typographical
. Corps had been misrepresented he had not said
they We're regardless of expense in their opera
,ions, but that they did their work well, rather
than cheap, and were unsurpassed for ability.
MIR. HAYWO GOD contended that the proposed
grant was IN fact an outright donation of from
four to six hundred thousand acres of land, and
this, for the benefit Of land spectators.
The bill, after some remarks by Mr.. KING,
was postponed until tomorrow, in order to get
some information from the Land Office.
A message in writing was read from the Pres
sident.
Il The Senate then passed to the special order
of the day, and Mr.. McDUFFIE made an ex-
tended, argumentatiye reply to the speech OF
Mr. EVANS, on his Tariff bill. +s
The Senate then went into Executive session,
referred some Executive communications, and

tercourse could be carried on without the hazard of fiuctuation, or Arrangement of ex- change. It went into operation with this advantage too, that those who were opposed to 1t on principle, as well as its advocates. were disposed to sustain it, inasmuch as it was now chartered by the Government But, with all the aids thus drawn to its support, what was the result' why with the aid ofthe government funds, the peoples money and general confidence to bolster it up, in the course ot four or five years after 1t went into operation, there was general depreciation of the paper of the whole catalogue of banks Tn the United States, which ranged generally from twenty to fifty per cent under par. And Tn addition to these facts 1t Is a matter of record which cannot be successfully con- tradicted, that the principal bank at Philadel- phia, shaved the notes of its own branches at discount of fue per cent. If this system of financiering constitutes what the D Doctorcallsa a sound circulating medium from one end of this widely extended country to the other, 1t seems to me, and think 1t will to every body else, that d sound circulating medium'' IS not the thing the Doctor has cracked 1t up to be. Late experience has shown, that ex- change can and will regulate itself upon a much surer basis, without the aid of the great regulator, than with its contaminating influence. The Doctor however has invoked his beloved brethern of the convention to trust, and stick to Mir. Clay, as the only hope, and certain means, if elected, of creating another United States Bank And these invoca- tons are made too, in the face of the astoun- ding frauds and startling corruptions which have been developed in the winding up of the late one. Can it be possible that ma jority of the American people, will ever again consent to place their money, and their liberty, under the control of an institution so irresponsible in character, so reckless in prac- tice, so overspreadng in its power, and so corrupting in its influence? No they cannot, they will not. Reason experience and common sense forbids the idea
 At more convenient season, I perhaps may take passing notice of Col. Fowler's, address to the convention.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATS CoNvENTIC

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
 It is perhaps proper and prudent that we should no longer remain silent upon a sub iect that interests the democractic party of our state, but that we should speak out and define our position and views in relation to the proposed call for new democratic con- vention, tosnominate candidate for the of flee of Governor and member to Congress. This we can do in very few words. We were appointed one of the delegates to attend the late Convention that assembled at Little Rock on the first Monday of December last, but owing to the inclemency of the season, we did not reach Little Rock until the day upon which the convention adjourned, and not until after 1t had ajourned.-When we learnd how few counties had been represen- ed, and the small number of delegates that had attended, we feared that the nominations might not give the general satisfaction to the party, as would ensure perfect harmony and Wity of support. Since our return from Lit tie Rock, we have learned both from letters and from verbal communications with differ ent persons from different parts of the state. that there is desire for new convention not that the people are so much disappont- ed or dissatisfied with the present nominees, bur from" # rfesrrc -tteeoaell.ate and heal all dissentions ill the party, and to remove the objections urged against the convention, that it did not sufficiently, from the paucity of its numbers, reflect the will of the party. We, therefore, are in favor of holding new con- venton, if the majority of our party desire it.
 and we hope that every county in the state will speak out upon this subject, and say
 without delay, whether they are for new convention or not and whether they are IT favor of the present nominees, and if not who they are in favor of. Indeed we think that new convention would be desirable provided the whole state would be represen
 ed, or the greater part of it, as it would tent to produce union and harmony, and acauies
 cence, on the part of those who are now dis
 satisfied with the nominees, and who prete
 other persons.
 A new convention, if it can be convened in which large majority of the counties vii be represented, cannot be productive ot any injury to the democratic party; for If tn
 present nominees be the choice of the people they will most assuredly be nominated, and they are not, others will be selected who are
 and the nominees ought not to wish to fore | themselves upon us, contrary to the express

BEATTIE's PRAIRIE. January 3I. JS1A

fRaIR1E, Jdnudfy 0i, IS44.
 DR. BoRLAND Sir: have just been ia vored with an opportunity of the perusal of the s'Arkansas Gazette," in which I find a partial statement of the proceedings of great whig meeting, held in Benton county. 1 must confess Sir, that was somewhat aston- ished, when discovered that they had back ed out from publishing what they adopted on that occasion. In former communica- ton to the Banner, stated fully the proceed ings of the meeting. Why is it that they have withheld from the public eye, all that they did before the people of Benton county 3- That part of the preamble and resolutions in which they declared that the Democratic party were composed of the fragments of ev- cry party that had ever existed in the United States, has been suppressed. The resolution in which they declared their political princi- pies has also been withheld, together with the declaration, that the Democracy had devised the plan by which the Real Estate Bank was brought into existence. We are only left to infer that their brother whigs would not concur with them in their po- litical creed, or that they were ashamed of what they had done, and after the meeting
 
 GUS and concluded that 1t was perhaps better to strike out portion of their proceedings.
 Will any of the performers of the farce, tell us why the proceedings of the whig meeting, in Benton county. have been thus suppressed, or will any of them undertake to say, that the entire report of the committee appointed to draft a preamble and resolutions, expressive of the sense of the meeting has been published according to the public re- solve of the meeting2 If they do, challenge the actors, or any of the officers of the meet ing to produce the original manuscript and repor; of the committee, before alluded to, which, when produced, will determine the issue, provided one should be tendered. In conclusion, must confess, that 1t was good policy in those wire workers to withhold from the public eye, the entire proceedings. for fear they might incur the displeasure oI some of their leading tariff candidates for of flee. Yours. truly,
