.After the bill for the establishmcnt ofthe cld
Itank of thc United Slates had passed both
Houscs of Congress, in 1791, and had been laid
before President Washington, for his sisnaturc,
it becamc a matter of astonishment lo tbo cc
rntary ofthe Treasury, (Gen. Ilamilton,) that
thc President should havo held the bill in sus

duty, the lattxr put, into the "hands of Gen.
Ilamilton the Opinions of Mr. Jeffcrson and

Gen. Uamilton took tho papers read them, ro

STATE ANTI-SLAVERY CONVEN
TION. We havo returned from tha State Anti
Slavcry Convention at Waterbury, only in time
to cive a bffef notice of tho proccedings before
our paper goes !o press. Aboiit 200 tleleuates
were in altendance.from thc countics of Rut
land, Windsor, Addison, Chittenden, Orange,
Wnshington, Franklin nnd Lamoille. The
body was organizcd on Thursdny at tcn o'
clock, and adjourned on Friday nftemoon.
Hon. Orson Skinner of Waitsfield presided.
Matthew D. Gordoii of Sliddlcbury was Sec
rctnry. Messrs. Wright or Philadclphia, Tra.
cyof'N. Hampsliirc. and Dennison of New..
York, were in oltendance from abroad. A
large number of resoluttons were b'ought for
ward and discussed with great freedom, upon
a varicty of tnjics btiaring upon our cause.
The whole subject ofpolitical nction was ic
ferred to a special committee of sixtecn mem
bers. viz. Messrs Wells or Waterbury, Bcech
crof Hinesbu'gh.Dean ol Burlington, Sted
man of Chester, Nutt or Montpelier, Grant or
Charlotte, Smilh or Vershire, Skinner orCorn

Joslyn or Pittsfield. James Green of Waterbu
ry, French of Williston and Cushman of War
ren. This committee was occupieJ several
hcurs in dicussing various pmpositions, aml
finally smbmitted n rcporl, (a minority aissent
ing.) recommending icdenendent polhical ac
tion at the coming fctate ekciion, and the ruim
ination of a state ticket accordingly. This
proposition wns negalived by the convention,
afier a full debatc, and the following resolulion
was adopted by a large majority:
"Whercas, we as abolitionists catinot sup
port nll lhe individual noniinees of either of
the prcseut political parties, Therefore,
Resolved that we will exert our influence for
the decti.n of CH'S K. WILLIAMS for
govcrnor of this State, at the ensuing clec
tion." No further action was takcn upon lhe que.
tion ofpolitical action, save the adoplion of a
resolution afF.rmini; tho duty of nbstiner.re from
pro slavery voting. It is proper to state that a
large piop'ortion of the'Convention if not a ma
jorily. were unprepared to lake the ground of a
party organization, at the present time, but the
feeling was almost unanimous, that since the
two great political parties had failed to present
n gubernatorial candidate who could be consis
tently sustained at the ballot box by nbolil;on
ists to say nothing of other objections it was
the privilego of tbo convention to indicato,
plninly and unequivocally their prcference.

that the Waterbury Convention wns not a mee

This intcrcsting and linportant mccting wiil

:he promptnt'ss and eneruy of individual socie

particularly sulicitous that one or more dele
ates come from every State Society, as it will
bo desirable to know what the condition of rach
State Society is, and how far each one is de
termined to revivc, press forward in this field
oflahor. and pnrify it own borders. ll is ex
pected that the Convention will bo opened with

As nll the great principles of temper

which has tarnishcd past conventions; and
that it will be rnther a Jubilce of thanksgiving

CONGRESSIONAL.
By a refprcnccto lhe procccdings this wcck
our readers will pcrceive that the Bank in the
scnate,and lhe distribulion bill in thc house are
the all-absorbing subjccts under considcration.
Both northcrn and southcrn whigs are uni
ted upon the establishmcnt of a national bank.
Mr. Clay is sircnuous in favor of a bank wilh
the power of cstablishing branches, as indis
pcnsible to its pcrformancc of the dutics of a
fiscal agcnt, and thc regulator of exchangcs
throughout thc Union. Hc is right. But Mr.
Rives has introduccd an amcndment, inaking
thc establishment of branches dcpcndcit upoa
state legislation, thus cripling the salutary op-
crations of an mstitution in the pcrformancc
of scrviccs, having an incalculable influence
upon thc business aflairs of thc countiy, and
cstablishing a prcccdcnt which may bo hcrcaf
tcr falal and dcadly. But under thc imprcs
sion that Mr. Clay's original plan cannot be
carricd through congress, and influcnced by
doubts of its rccciving the final signaturc of
the President, who is known to have constitu
tional scruples to the bill in this shape, several
whig scnators who would otherwise sustain
Mr. Clay, have takcn ground with .Mr.. Rivcs,
A mong othcrs, Messrs. Choatc, Balcs and
Phclps. Othcrs are expecfed to do the sanie.
Should Mr. Clay and his fricnds inflexiblv ad-
here, thc dangcr of creating any bank, it is
thought, would be immincnt. All whigs in
Congress agrcc that some bank should be car
ried. So say thc people. They say, let us
have a moiety if we cannot have a wholcloaf;
any thing but the present fatal dcrangemen ts
which blast every interest of the country. Any
qualification which will not unrcasonably wea
kcn thc utility of the bank, will be preferable
to the condemned sub-trcasury. Thc proba
bility ia that the obvious bcncfits would ensure
thc admission of a branch wherever the coun
trj' required it.
The locos,as might bc expcctcd are in ccs
lacics at the disagrecmcnt of the whigs upon
this iraportant mcasure. To men who have
been drilled to follow thc biddincs of filclead-
crs, to carry out thc interests ofthe party wlth-
oui regard to the interest of the country, thc
open and honcst cxpression of difTerent opin
ions upon mcasurcs vital to the coramon wel
fare, looI likecxplosion, and utter annihila
tion. In their very honest imaginations tho
whig party is " knocked in the head", "dispos
ed of forever," aa would have been the fate of
those whose only bond of union was preserva
tion of the party, and participation in the'
spoils. But their secret chucklinss. and their
yellsof Iriumphwill be short. The differen-
ces of opinion between thc northcrn and south.
ern wings ofthe whig party, are scctional, but
not perscmaJ, and.will eventually bo reoonrilflfl
br-Bmtoal citocejKion, .aadvthe adoplioii.cf &
plan satisfastory to both. Thc whig party is
comDosed of men too honcst to sacrifice the
4
interests of their country, and toosagacious to
bc baffled by Benton, Wright and Calhoun.
They must see that union alone can ensure
thc safety of themsclves and the country a
gainst thc dcsign3 of a rcckless party, who
fan every spark of dissention only to involve
all in one coramon conflagration. We doubt
not that the Iabyrinths in which they are in
volved will soon be unravelled. Those who
have done most to producc schism are as anx
ious as any to smooth the way to rcconcilia
tion. Evcn if hc would, it sccms to us there
is not a whig in Congress, who dnre come homc
from the cxtra session, and tcil his constitu
cnts that no bank had bccn cstablished, and no
distribulion of thc avails of the puhlic lands
had bccn made, unlcss hc can most unequivo
cally clear his own skirts from thc stains ofthe
sacrifice, which he has made, of a country that
is now blccding a every pore. The whigs
have a clear majority in both houses of Con
gress, and it will bc no cxcuse for mernbers,
that they have been baffled by the dextcrity of
their opponents, or that they have bored'us
with glowing speechcs at thc public cxpcnse.
The counlry will not long'er tolerate theshamc
ful waste of time without action, which for a
fcw years past has charactcrized their pro
cccdings. Ficry orators and lazy floor mern
bers must bc succccded by sound, practical,
working statcsinen such as Washington. Jef
fcrson, Franklin, Madison and Munroe, who,
in thc bcttcr days of the rcpublic, were scldom
known to occupy ovcr half an hour in delivcr
ing a spccch upon thc most important subject.
After pcnning this article, it was truly rc
frcshing to pcruse the latest intelligcnce
from the Albany Daily in anothcr column.
It affords flatteringevidence ofthe correctness
of our prophcsy,that the whig party inCongrcss
would finally qucnch intcrnal disscntion,and
arise and build up the walle ofthe political zi
on which the savago irrnjitions of tho cxperi
mcntcrs have prostratcd. Thanks bc to Ilcn
ry Clay, whose eloqucnce and irrcsistablc cn
ergy, cnablcs him to brave every tcmporary
prejudice, and fcarlcssly appcal to the undcr
standings of his cnlightencd countrymen, to
sanction the whole brcadth of his patriotic dc-
signs for the scttlcment of the great qucstion of
thc currency. It rcmains to bc scen whethcr
thc wisdom and patriotism of thc whig scnatc,
vicwing tho defca of the bill in its present
shape as prognant with dcslruction to the
country, and ovcrthrow to thc party, will en
sure its succcss.
