which State binds itself to pay money at
future day, for services actually reeetred, or
for money borrowed for present uses nor
are instruments executed for such purposes,
denominated bills Of credit"
Here, then, is the distinction States may
not loan their credit as an individual would
endorse note, or loan his credit. But the
Constitution cannot intend that the States
shall be debarred from granting a written
acknowledgment of debt already existing
and Judge Marshall goes farther, and says,
"nor for money borrowed for present uses.
Sir the argument against this bill ia gen.
eral, and may defeat the Banking law, or
prevent the issue Of State bonds. but
admits in its most stringent construction
the passage Of this act.
We propose nothing more than We now
do in the conduct of the government; all dis
bursemcnts shall still be appropriated by
bill ; drafts upon the Treasury shall still be
drawn accounts shall be audited as hereto
fore but we do propose that in place of
one draH being drawn for a debt due by
the State this one draft shall be broken up
into such different amounts as may be- de
manded by, and will best suit the conven,
fence Of the creditor. If they pass as cur
rency, it will only be in the courtesy and
faith of the public.
Now then, there is no legislation attempted
to force these drafts into the channel of trade;
no provision by which they shall be legal
tender for any debts, eren due by me State,
and in the present crisis, the expedency Of
the measure must be apparent to every Sen
atOr.
In the conflicting views regarding the
bills now pending, to authorize State loan,
the interest to be established amount to be
borrowed, as also in the kindred subject OF
the establishment of banking system, we
need to be relieved from the pressure of ne
cessty, and therefore advocate the passage
Of the bill now under consideration by the
Senate.
Pending the further consideration of the
above bill, the Senate adjourned.

"The True ISSUE,
The Washington Union SAYS:

Ihe NasnlnSton Chton says:
''The true issue, not only in Illinois, but
in overy State in the Union, is the Admin
istrdtioa of Mr. Buchanan, as tie rspreien-
tative IF the Democratic party, against all
opposition, whether as open enemies or false
friends"
Elsewhere the same paper also remarks !:
"a question of incalculable magnitude,
and especially Nth Southern men, arises as
t. the effect upon the Democratic party Of
the overthrow Of Mr.. BUchdnan's 1dnainis.
trdtion 1t may be effected in some meas
urc by cutting down its friends in the North
ern States. There is not an 1nG- Lecomp-
ton Democrat from The North w6d ioas in
The last Congress that has any sympathy
With the present administration. In some
localities they are openly opposing tho reg
ular nominee of the Democratic party; in
oihors they arc iusiduously attempting to
stab tho organization by claiming the yes.
turo Of the peoples candidate; and in others
they are trying to throw upon them tho re,
sponsibility of clecting Black Republicans
instead Of those who claim to be Democrats,
but who are moro than acceptable to the
New York Tribune, ct id omne genus"
Ths fact that the Administration men
are boiling tho nomination of Col. Manypcn-
ny in the Muskingum District, is thus fully
accounted for. OF course anti-Lecompton
Democrats, whether in or out Of "the last
Congress" (the Union refers to tho last
session OF the present Congress, we pre-
sumo arc placed on the same footing as
destitute of "any sympathy with the present
Administration" and will be treated accord

During the present month, elections nro

Vermont the election took place on the 9TH
inst, in the other two, next Monday, the
18th. In Maine a Governor, Legislature
and members Of Congress are 10 be chosen

GLOOMY PRosPECTs-A Democratic pa
per in Michigan discoursos in tho following
lugubrious strain about the canvass in iii.
nois:
The campaign news from Illinois is
rathor unsatisfactory. The ghosts of for.
mer political movements roturn to haunt
Mr.. Douglas in his hour Of need, and what
friends can explain and understand, be-
comes in tho hand Of an unscrupnlous enc
my weapon of destruction. We hope
for his triumph, but wo must say, with less
confidence than at the opening Of the cam.
paign.
The Administration continues its charge
upon the Douglas ranks. The friends of
the Little Giant, who arc so unfortunate as
to hold Office under the government, arc ono
by one losing their heads, and their bodies
nre passing into the silent grave, which con-
tains the remains Of hordos Of politicians.
Gov. Denver has refused TO call special
session of the Kansas Legislature, and has
decided that an election must be held un-
der the provisions of the act of ] S57, or not
at all.
A DEMocRAT's OPINION or OLD Bucks
BLUNDERs,-The Hooking Sentinel demo-
cratic organ says:
"Ths blunder of the President can result
to to tho injury Of no one; his own name
is blackened with infamy, he may Gil even
dishonored grave"
The Postmaster at Topeka, Kansas had
tho presumption TO vote against Lecompton
on the I'd ult, and, as consequence, he
has been promptly removed. Great is
popular sovereignty"
Senator Douglas would seem TO bo pcr-
spring ms freely as one Gen. Ford proposed
10 do, in the campaign of Sc. A cores
pOducuL vi tUo DhlIlIHOre sun WrlteS tnat
the Judge snakes two or three speeches
day, and by reason of the heat is obliged
to change his clothes threO times day at
least."
The Chicago Democrat mentions that
since the beginning of the present campaign
in Illinois, about five weeks, seventeen ma
iional Democratic papers have been estab-
lished, and nino Douglas organs have given
up the ghost
The same paper states tina! Col. Diversy,
late Douglas leading man among the Ger
mans, has protested that he will not follow
Douglas cratic steps any further out of
tho Democratic party.
And again ;sincc Douglas speech nj Free
port, his friends in this city are dcscrting
him in squads. They now see the hand
writing on the wall in unmistakabic char
characters. They feel that to 90 with him,
would be TO cut themselves adrift from tho
Democratic party forever.
