TIE BANK BILL.-We regret that we have not
space for more full report of the proceedings in
the Legislature on the bank bill. The wings vote
down every proposition with view TO the security
of the People, offered by the democrats. Some
Of the friends Of the bill have had the boldneos
admit that restraints were impracticabc and use
iess-leaving us to draw the common sense infe-
renee that the banks under this bill will obey
no law except such are prompted by their own
selfishness and rapacity. Well-thc moro out
rageous, the worse the bill,-the better. We have
all along prayed that if they were to pass bank
scheme, that it would be one of such hid.ous fca-
lures, that the people would be Immediately
aroused to sense of their danger, and demand
its repeal. Our hopes are realized. The intel
lectual and patriotic spirit of the people will now
be brought to test. IF they are worthy of free
dom, they will choose Legislature next year
which will repeal the iniquitous law If they
are worthy of chains, they will let the law stand.
P. S. The BILL PASSED THE House, on the l1th
inst Now let every freeman array himself under
the banner of "REPEAL." Let the issue be
made now, while the power is yet in the hands of
the People. The Democracy of Putnam arc fully
aroused, as will be seen by the call for a repeal
mesting, published in another column We shall
publish the remainder of the signatures to the
call in our next.

How JUSTICE is MocKED-The Teller of the Com
msrcal Bank of Albany, A. H. LovErr, who re-
Gently plundercd the Bank of 34,445, is now t
large, having been admitted to bail in the sum of
fire thousand dollars! This is the kind of JUSTICE
that is administered in the case of bank thief
A man who had first been reduced to wretch
edness and want by the Bank robbers, and then
driven to the commission of some petty crime
sgainst his opprcssors, might have rotod in pri-
son. Such is JUSTICE under Bank Government.

IMPORTANT FROM BuENos AyREs.-Thc barque
Chancellor, at New York, brings advices from
Buenos Ayres to Odd September. The New York
Herald says:
"The intelligence received by this arrival is i'm
portant not only to those engaged in trade with the
Argentine republic, but to the whole American
people; to all those, more especially, who endorse
the message of Mr.. Polk relative to the balance
of power in America. II is to be perceived that
the English and French have carried their inter.
ference in the affairs this continent to crisis, in
actually blockading Buenos Ayres, and all other
ports belonging to the Argentine confederation.
"On the 2lst Of September, two days before the
Chancellor sailed, the commanding officers of the
English and French squadrons, posted bulletin in
the commercial room, in Buenos Ayres, declaring
that port, and all others belonging to the republic
under blockade after the Oath; that all vessels ar
irving after that date should be ordered off, and all
neutral vessels in port should have fifteen days tc
discharge and load. Should the blockadng squadron
allow no more than fifteen days, it would be i'm
possible for the ships in port-eeven of which were
American-to load; for the decree that Rosas had is
sued fortnight previous compelled all the iDhabt
ants to drill from 10 6, p. m, which lessened the
hours of labor after the custom house closes in the
afternoon.
"Thc measure will be of serious injury to til,
American merchants. There are several vessel,
now on their way from this port to Buenos Ayres
with full cargoes; they, of course, will have Il
change their destination, perhaps at a great loss
Other vessels are their way from other ports IL
this country all these will be ordered off, at losi
to their owners. Will it not be necessary for oul
government to increase naval force in tina
vicinity
ain consequence OF the steps taken by France ant
Eng land, Governor Rosas about the end of August
published decree, prohibiting all communication
with the French and English vessels Of war, unde
penalty Of severe punishment.
A letter written at Buenos Ayres on the 22d o
September, and published in the New York Journa
of Commerce, speaking ofthe bockadng of Bueno
Ayres, says
at is understood here that the Hon. William
Brent, r., United States charge daffaires, will pro
test against this illegal measure, well as an,
European armed Intervention in the affairs Of sis
ter South American republic.
The United States brig cambridge, Com. Pen
nington, arrived here yesterday from Montcvideo
being the first American vessel Of war we have hal
here for two months.

Correspondence Of the Union,l

"BuLNos AYREs, Sept. 90, 1845.
Yesterday the representatives ofthc English and
French governments gave notice to the foreign con-
suls that this port and the whole coast of the re-
public, would be placed under blockade at the expi-
ration of forty-eght hours from the date of their
notifications and they only allow fifteen days for ves-
sells to depart. This short time for vessels to close
their business will prove ruinous to most; and the
usual notice is sixty or ninety days. The U. s..
consul acknowledged the receipt of their notification,
but reserved to citizens Of the United States all their
legal rights, under the laws Of nations, to make
clamation for any damage they might sustain from
such blockade if it shall be judged Illegal either for
the in which it is established, or from their
attempting to blockade SO large extent of coast
with the small forces they have in the La Plata,
from any other cause. The Chancellor will take
very important dispatches for our government from
the charge d'affaires, Mr.. Brent The U. 8. brig
Bainbridse, Lieut.. Commanding Pennington, is
here; all WE'LL"
Yours, &C."

From the New orlean. Tropic. !

From the New Orleans Tropic, Nov. ~
From TExAs.--The steamship New York, Phil
lips, arrived last evening from Galveston, which
place she left on the Gath. We are indebted to
Capt. p for Galveston papers of that date. Several
additional vessels from Bremen, with emigrants,
had arrived. The barque Mary Walker has been
lost upon Arkansas bar. Munitions of war from
Aransas had reached Galveston. Hon. James B..
Miller, of Fort Bend, has been nominated by the
citizens of Washington county for governor; and
Hon. N. H. Darnell, of San Augustine, for leuten-
ant governor, Col. s. M. Williams has been nomi-
mated in the Civilian for Congress. That paper
speculatcs on Gen. Houston's prospects for the u.
S. Senate and thinks he would get at least SO votes
in the first legislature, leaving 16 against him, and
90 doubtful; for which he would stand an even
chance. The arrivals at Galveston have exceeded
those Of any previous season. The news from
western Texas is extremely favorable to its pros
perity. The crops have yielded abundantly, and the
planters have found the U. s. army a ready market
for all their surplus produce, stock, &c. The In
dams, however, continued to annoy the settlers.
The Galveston Daily Globe complains that our
army gives very little protection to any other por
ton Of Texas than Corpus Christi. Several fami-
lies, this account, have been deferred from re-
settling San Patricio. Two Cumanches, found by
Col. Hays in the Lipan camp, with American
horses in their possession, were executed in pres
ence of the whole tribe. Messrs. Clark and New
ton, the latter an old Texan, have reopened their
theatre at Galveston.

", have seen with much regret the resolutions
! !, we're passed at a meeting in Savannah, on the
! instant, censuring the Postmatcr General about
4, mail between Charleston and Savannah. We
!, received them this evening, but have had no
I \. to investigate the merits Of the case.
But one thing we can undertake to say-that Mr..
osuson's conduct, in this one case, must have
srd from his whole official course, if it can, in
NV degree have justified this proceeding. A more
latent oaicer-one of more sterling qualifications
h the Office he holds-of greater devotion to the
[objc servce-of more impartial spirit, and moro
integrity, we do not honestly believe
attached to the administration. His admirable
mort which we published in our last paper, is the
Is, evidence of his frmness and fitness for the pub
lie service.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate the proceedings, to-day, did not pos
cess any special interest, aside from the presentation
\ a yery important memorial from the provisional
government, recently organized in the Oregon terri
py. We give, in our report, copy Of this singu-
hdv interesting document. It will be read with in
tense satisfaction by all the friends of human prog
rss and free American institutions. Calm and dig
nfsd in its tone--presenting clear and ineligible
view Of the present condition and prospects of our
tIow.citizens in that distant region Of the mighty
west-it cannot fail to excite in high degree tho
sympathy and regard ofall true men throughout the
republic. With these pioneers of freedom on
he shores of the Pacific from whom this mes
nge Of fraternal affection has como, we need not
fear for the future growth Of that spirit Of liberty
which already begins to produce such fruits.
The election of committees and officers Of the
Senate was postponed till tomorrow.
The Hon. Messrs. Dickinson, Berrien, Barrow,
and Pennybacker, appeared in their seats to-day.
In the House there was an animated debate on the
reference Of memorial presented by MIR. Broken
bongh protesting against the return and election OF
MI. OdOett, hB representative IIOIu riOTlud Mc68rS
Hunter, G. Daqis, J. R. Ingersoll, g. s. Houston,
yy, and Others took part in this debate the turning
poin. Of which was the propriety of referring the
memorial to the committee, with instructions to re-
port in the first instance on the legality of the cleo
ton return, and then to proceed to an examination
Of the vote. The resolution, which was offered by
Mr. Hunter, was very ably sustained by Mr. T.
H Bayly; who showed, in conclusive manner,
by statement Of the facts, that Mr.. Broken
brough had received the majority fvo.es, and that
the certificate ofthe returning officer was invalid,
nasmuch as he had disregarded the law in refusing
oaccount for votes returned for the memoriais, on
the alleged ground that they were excluded by the
law limiting the period of returns to thirty days
We give, however, very copious report of the de-
bate, and to it we refer our readers.
The debate continued till near the hour of ad-
jounmen and on the motion to refer with instruc-
tons being put, it was lost-eighty-fve voting in
the affirmative, and one hundred and one in the neg
alive.

TO THE EDIroRs:
| WAsHNsror, December 5. Is45
GrsrLrnfs Mr. Thomas II. Bsyly having directly char.
Bed one OF US and indirectly all Of us with having testified
oath that the prices Of the public printing twenty
cent reduction icieni now distinctly svet
tee Ia regard to printing and that neither Of Us has
made oath in relation to the prices Of the public printing
be hoped therefore. that Mr. Bayly. sense of hon.
or virgin.n will induce him to give up the
| has by letter requested him To do.
JAMES N DAVIS;
| JOHN w ROBINSON.
| The material fact, the only one OF real conse-
quence, which Gen. Bayly meant to assert was, that
all, or at least one Of the company" expressed a
conviction, that without the compensation solicited
for Gales q Seaton, these gentlemen would sustain
heavy loss. With respect to the circumstance, that
the testimony upon that point was accompanied
with the Formally of an oath, it was inference Of
his own, naturally enough suggested by the import
ance Of the transaction; indeed the word 'testiy"
except in its most technical sense, will not allow the
limitation which it seems SO important in the view
Of the subscribers to the above card to assign to it.
Whatever either of the persons concerned would have
affirmed, it is but generous to believe they would have
sworn to- In regard to the particular tribunal before
which the testimony appeared were that too serious
to be matter Of consequence, we propose to quote
from the journal itself:
That says: "Mr. Rayner presented memorial
of the practical printers employed on the public
printing Of government, praying additional compen-
sation; which memorial was referred to the COM
MITTEE on Public Expenditures"
II will be SEEM therefore, from this extract from
the journal, that the ground Of complaint, on the
part Of r. Jefferson, james N.Davis, and John w.
Robinson, esqs, is narrowed down to the fact, that
neither of them soors to the truth of what it be-
believed each had asserted
We should mention in this connexion, that COM
munication prepared by the subscribers to the above
card had been presented to the editor Of the Union
for publication. In that communication 1t was as
serted that Mr.. Jefferson had refused to sign the
petition that Mr. Davis knew nothing Of it, until
recently; and the admission was distinctly made by
Mr.. Robinson, that, without knowing much Of the
matters of which he was certifying, he did sign it.
Upon our appendng to the communication men,
toned the statement we have given above, the pa
per referred to, was taken from the Office.
