1 t Forth-Eastern Boundarlhe fouV.7 lishcd at Albany, has a very cxtensivo cir inc are the resolution introUu'l n tho cilation at a low price (50 cents a year). Senate on the 4tn insi., uy wr. uwnanuu, . with the report of tho commit tea on foreign relations. They were adopted in the Sen ate as reported nem. con. and on motion 20,000 copies of the report and resolutions were ordered to be printed. Resolved, That after a careful exami. nation and deliberate consideration of the the whole controversy between the United States and Great Britain relative to the North Kastern Boundary of the former, the Senate does not entertain a doubt of the practicability with the stipulations of the de finite treaty of peace of seventeen hundred eicrhtv three ; and entertain a perfect con. viction of the iustice and validity of the title of the United States to tho full extent of all the territory in dispute between the two rowers. Resolved further, That, considering that more than half a century has elapsed since the conclusion of that treaty ; considering the extraordinary delay which has hitherto marked the negotiations and proceedings of the governments of the two countries, in their endeavor amicably to settle the con troversy ; and considering the danger of mutual irritation and collisions upon tho border of kindred and friendly nations from further procrastination, tho Scnato can not forbear to express an earnest desire that the pending negotiation should be brought unto a close, and the final deci sion of tho dispute bo made as early as practtcaoie. Resolved. That, as it would bo inexpedi ent for the United States to proceed, upon their separate authority, to survey and mark out the North Eastern Boundary, until all reasonable means of effecting that object by the content and concurrence of both parties shall have boon exhausted, the "bill to provide for surveying the North Eastern Doundary Line of tho United States, ac cording to the treaty of seventeen hundred and eighty-three," ought not to pais ; tind it is therefore ordered that it be laid on the table. " ' v From the Albany Argus, TAMPERING WITH THE CUttRKN- CY AND EXCHANGES. The irredeemable paper autocrat predic ted that the New York banks would col lapse in thirty days after they had resumed specie payments. Ho has had a desire no doubt to bring about a verification of his prediction. It belongs to the school of the bank te predict distress throughout its pur chased presses and hired attorneys, and then to put all its enginos in motion to pro. duco the results predicted ; and thus build up a financial reputation for the paper au tocrat by distressing the country as por bis predictions : and these distress drafts are as much a part of Mr. Biddle's finan cial system as his penitentiary notes. The principal resources within his reach are fraud and distress. To fulfil the prediction of the irredcem able financier respecting the banks of this state, a demonstration was made a week or two since to put up foreign exchange to 12 per cent. Mr. B. had two objects, how. ever in this ; one was to make money, by getting a higher nrico for hi cotton funds or credits in England, and another to make panic, by inducing a shipment of specie. In Loth objects he has completely failed. Ex. change, instead of going up to 12, has geno down to 8 per cent., being 1 J per cent, below par ; and instead of creating panic and alarm among the banks of New York, the operation has given thorn increas ed confidence in their own strength to stand up against tho devices of tho "great regu. Utor" . Public Expenditures. Wo havo lately seen nothing unfair and partaking less of the nature of mcancss and littleness, and yet nothing moro characteristic of tho whig party, than the manner in which they at. tempt to turn tho expenses of the govern, ment to account against the administration. They foot up the expenses of tho last year, compare them with the expenditures of, government ten years ago, and then cry out "extravagance, unparalleled extrava gance V They know, full well, the causes that have necessarily rendered the public expenditures greater, but they have not the honor or honesty to admit, much less to publish them. They not only suppress tho truth, but give the utmost publiety to falsehood, base uncalled for, and unquali. fled falsehoods. They never mention, or alludo to una. voidable, but extravagant expenditures on Indian removals, and Indian wars. They willfully neglect and refuse to state tho fact that thirty thousand pensioners havo lately been added to the list of thoso supported by tho government, the justico and propriety of which they dare not dispute. . Nor do they refer to tho increased duties imposed upon the Patent Oflico, by Congress. They do not state cither, that all those appropriations are voted for by their own party, and thosands of others, suggested and pressed upon Congress, and defeated by tho democratic members. It is a notorious fact that the whig members of Congress hate voted for the most extravagant ex. penditurcs, and havo been checked by the republican party. Yet they have the cf I'rontry to chargo their own faults upon tho ndminstration. Cleve. Adv. Erom the Mohawk Courier WHAT ARRTHE FEDERALISTS DOINO. Wo believo that Republicans generally do not estimate properly the efforts that nro every where making by their opponents are preparatory to the autum elections. Tho following facts should bo constantly borno in mind : 1. The federal Executive Committee at "Washington consisting of S, C. Philips, W. J. Graves, (the murderer of Cillcy) and Edward Curtis, last fall made a-rcousition of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOL LARS, and probably more than that sum was raised, as one item in the bill of am. munition for tho campaign. 2. The Jeflereonian newspaper, pub-1 mis papwr uuuciaicmu part by the voluntary contributions of the Federal leaders and men ot weaitn. 3 Tho Albany Journal advertises one 1IUNDKED THOUSAND COPIES of tllO speech of Mr. Bond Biddle's Bank Attoncry in Ohio. This is no inconsiderable item. 4. Innumerable speeches of Webster, Clay, Lcgaro and others, franked to every part of the Union to tho cost of tho People for wrappers, of thousands of dollars. 5. Profuse outlays of money, in various counties in this state, to carry on tho war. In this county in particular, ainplo means, havo been advanced to establish ono of the largest country papers in the state, and evory cilort made . to extend us circuia tion. Thus we havo a glimpse of a part of tho formidable preparations of tho enemies of the KepuDiicati ascendancy, ana u is worse than folly to disguise the tact, that it these preparations are not promptly and energct. ically counteracted by the democracy through indefatigable exertions, they will at least deservo defeat. I hero is not an individual in tho democratic ranks we care not how poor, or humble, or inconsid. erablo ho may deem himself to be but can at the present crisis, render himself, essential service to his country. Let eve ry republican ask himself What can I do to prosper the cause of Equal Government?' ill cviu tvr hint. Hccrti correct political news himself, lend his newspaper to a neighbor who does not take a paper. Read Col. Benton s speech and Mr. Mann's speech and then hand them to his neighbor. Impress upon tho mind of Democratic doctors tho fact that the Aristocratic and monyed Power aro making frightful progress against the liberties of tho land, and that unless they do their duty at the ballot boxes at the next great trial and come to tho rescue, ALL MAY BE LOST.

If he is willing to resume and not able what aro his merits 7 The following from tho Harrisburgl Reporter may throw some light on the sub ject: The tenth section of the law chartering the Bank of the United States enacts that "the said Bank shall make, to the Auditor General, monthly returns of its condition showing the details of its operations, &c It is well known that during tho last yea tho bank, in violation of this solemn provi sion of the law, failed, for several months to make any returns. Tho bank is paying the same game at this time. Wo applied at the office of the Auditor General yestcr day for certified copies of tho statements of tho Bank, for the months of April and May and were informed that they had not leen received. Tho reason is obvious. Tho IImIt a ttw IJoUajI SteiA, ditioa, is determined to keep olf a resump tion of specie payments to the last possible moment, and, notwithstanding its boasted accumulation of 6pecio, it shuns an inves ligation of its affairs. North Carolina Standard. THE TABLES TURNED. Mr. Biddlo once had tho grace to speak of tho men in power as "fugitives from the penitentiary," and of the people who placed them there, as a "rubble rout, destined to be "scourged back to their dens," in 1i own good time. The same Mr. Biddlo i now classed, not among tho fugitives from but the inmates of the penitentiary, and by the recorded voto of a decisive majority in both branches of the National legislature The II. of R. on Saturday, among other things, passed Mr. Grundy's bill making it felony, punishable by fine and imprisonment tore-issue the redeemed notes of tho defunct U. S. Bank a practico which Mr. Biddl has continued for months and manths to fursue in utter disregard of all moral, if not egal obligations. The bill, having beforo passed tho senato has now become a law and that too, witn the assent, tacit or o pen, of somo of his scrupulous abettors Such was tho general f cprobation of Mr Biddlo's course in this matter, that of all his retainers and satellites on tho floor of congress, none save sueh men as tho brag gart Wise, S. S. Prentiss, (tho now momber from Mississippi,) and Jemfor, had tho cf. frontery to attempt a justification; On the contrary, tho Washington correspondent of tho New York Journal of Commerce states that "many whigs did not think it expedient to oppose tho bill." Indeed almost tho en tiro burthen of defending Mr. Biddlo and his "resurrection notes," fell upon Wise who is reported to havo threatened speak ing through tho whole of tho remnant of the session, at the hazard of defeating all tho bills behind, unless this verdict against swinuiing ana imposition snouia be suspend ed or laid aside 1 And in this spirit he re sisted tho bill to tho cud voting in the nf. firmativo on its final passage, for tho pur poso of moving a re-consideration ; which he did but without success being voted down in all stages of the bill, after having been repeatedly choked off, by tho liberal use of tho previous quostion. So Mr. Biddlo stands recorded on the journals of the national legislature, and by tno coniession oi some oi nis own partizanj as gu:lty cf acts deserving the penitentiary in the ro-issuo of his "resurrection notes.

' For tho following wo have the narno of citizen universally respected ; a name which wo aro authorised to give when cal led upon. In ordinary cases wo should not present such matters to tho public eye. but tho necessity of the case demands it. I ho time has come when villians must bo forced by cxposuro, either to reform, and become honest men, or throw oil tho gos samer garb of pretended virtue, and 6how themselves open faced viluans. We deem lU here, our bounden duty to tho innocent to stato most explicitly that Mrs. Stevens is of ono of tho most res- pe:table families of New England. With somo of her relations we aro acquainted, and are proud to number them among our friends, and it is, therefore, with tho deep est regret that our duty to tho public com pels us to make this painful exposure. Vet. Tost. For the Detroit Meriting Post. WM. S. STEVENS ! ! ! Mr. Editor :- In your truly valuable pa per of yesterday -valuable forks indepen dence in showing up tho rascality of the man whose name heads this communica tion I perceivo you call for facts. I lmncino vou will have many to record ero vou are done with that notoiious fellow, that will cause certain high and distinguish ed bank whig gentlemen who have been ve- ry intimate with him, of late, to blush with bhamo, if they havn lft in them.-- ir n a man is Known by tho company he keeps," I do not envy them tho credit of their association, and tho objects they had in view by tho alliance. Enough on that head, and 1 proceed to tho facts in point, in regard to which 1 will merely say, that should my statements bo questioned in the least particular, I can call to my support somo of our most prominent and rcspecta bio citizens. On the 2d of July, 1837, the steamboat Governor Marcy being on her regular trip to Saginaw, several persons of this city took passage, partly on business and partly on a pleasure excursion to spend tho 4th of July. In company with this fellow, Stevens, was found a young wo man, whom the passengers generally sup posed to bo his wife, but who, it seems, was afterwards ascertained to be his wife s sis ter. His tntercourso with tho sister was of a suspicious character so much so, as to excite the attention of all on board, and especially of tho married ladies, whocvin ccd their feelings toward tho sister, in par ticular, in a manner highly crcditablo to their good sense of decency and propriety, But tho feelings of indignation felt by all tho passengers towards Stevens nnd the sister, can be hotter conceived than des cribed, when it was known that Mrs. Ste vens and daughter six or seven years old were also on board. It is, perhaps, need less to say, tho sympathies of the passcn gers were thoroughly excited from tho treat ment shown Mrs. S. and child by her brute ot a husband. Ho scarcely showed hi wifo the civility of waiting upon her to, and after she was seated at tho table, and in other respects, and at other times, treated her in a very disrcspoctful manner, while his conduct toward tho sister was, during tho whole trip up and down from Saginaw, mm pi mm mlym- 41m. 4 mm I y The littlo daughter, too, in its innocent playful moments, when it approached tho guilty pair, (Stevens and sister,) in their secret communings together, (and they had many) was repulsed and driven from them in a manner truly calculated to cxcito tho contempt of any person who had spark of good feeling. Suffice it to say, the passengers gener ally made up their minds, and mutually ex pressed them too, beforo their return to Detroit, that tho conduct of Stovens and sister was of a character that denoted in timacy as unlawful as it was unnatural. Whether that intimacy has continued let those who best know, speak out, if the u dare. Ono word more, and I nni done for tho present. I must do justico to tho wifo by saying, she is an amiable woman, and upon the occasion I alludo to, drew largely upon the kind fee! iocs of the nassoncers on account of her husband's base conduct towards her. There wcro many littlo ex prcssions of tho wifo that would have con vinced any person that 44 all was not right." 1 leave a virtuous people to draw thei own conclusions from subsequent devclope ments, which rumort 1 am told, doos not be lie ; but the facts, I trust thoso who have tho knowledge of thorn, will communicate so that the character of this fello.v may ap pear in its true light. Ho has been endu red long enough. Justice. "Movements, doings, and so on." Tho Philadelphia morning lino yesterday brought on between six and seven hundred full passengers, and a good many "in tho steer age." All tho worlJ is agog, making 'movements, doings, and so on. It is well that even numbers movo in opposite directions, else ono end of tho wo.Id would chanco to be overloaded. But as it is, tho South is all for Saratoga, and tho East for White bulphur; and this presorves tho balance of tho Union. N. Y. Jour. Com Mr. Bond. The Hamilton (Ohio) Tel cgrapn says ; "no oargaineu, sow, ana uc livcrcd his conscience somo years ago to tho United btatos Bank, and lias never since been able to rniso funds sufficient to pur chase it back." Our friend of tho Journal ought to havo known that such a vile thin, has no ccnscience. The statement of the Louisville Journal as to the action of tho New Orleans bank has arouped a spirit of resistance which cannot bo allayed. It told tho plain truth that tho hanks of New Orleans, looking up to Mr. Biddlc, and corresponding with him, " unanimously decided not to resume until there is a National Bank, or tho fate of it is known." This is plain enough. The anti-resumption banks declare they will never pay their honest debt? unless tho Go vernment be placed under their control. What say ye, fellow-citizcns, to this ?

Wo would suggest that tho whole business of tho convention bo submittod to tho Albany delega tion, and allow them to hold their convention in Albany; for, most certainly, one hundred an eighty mon is just as good as a thousand. Wo suggest this as it will bo a very groat saving of cxpoiiBo, if carried into effect. D" Wins Consistency. As usual, wo boo moro or loss of whig consistency in every move mont of lato by that party. They aro now de. crying tho doniocratic party for squandering tho poople's money for extravagant appropriation, and for using money without a duo regard to economy. And tho way tho opposition seek to mako out and sustain tho chargo is easy to them : but it decs not stand tho test when tho light of truth shines upon it. With their char acturiaLia fairness, they sum uu tho ordinary and extraordinary cxponscs of tho government for the last thrco years, and thon compare tho result obtained with tho expenditures, for tho samo period, undor the administration of Mr Adams ; thinking, perhaps, that they may there. by bo ablo to doccivo the peoplo ; but wo can assuro theso worthy calculators that the peoplo whom they duspiso, oro not to be kept in igno ranee of this manoeuvre of this doviso to im poso upon their understanding. Far bo it from us to so much uuderrato tho intelligence of tho peoplo as to bclicvo, for a moment, that they can bo deceived by this hugh and cry of tho opposi. tion, about wasting of money. We givo tho following tabic, which is taken from an editorial of tho Monroo Times, to show how fifty.nino millions of dollars of the publio money have been used during tho last thrco years: Thrco instalments on the whig de posit act, - 31,000,000 Florida war, which according to fed. oral statements, has cost $0,000,. 000 : (but on lueh authority, wo always allow half for dodging,) 10,000,000 H)maining in deposit banks, and on ' renewed duty bonds, about 10,000,000 Increased pensions, 2,000,000 do Indian annuities, about 3,000,000 Total extraordinary expenditures, $50,000,000 So much for tho candor and consistency, of tho opposition.

This arguos well for us. So long as tho return of that day cheers and 'animates tho patriot, tho philanthropist and scholar, so long America may be said to enjoy tho blossingi of iolf-govcrnmcnt. STTho banks of Philadelphia have had meeting and resolved to resume specie pnymonts on the first day of August next, with tho exeep tion of Diddlo's bank and three others.

A Turtlo weighing six hundred pounds would be a whap. per, inaeou.. SjT A bill has finally passed both branchos of our National Legislature, which substantially docs away with the Deposit Law of 183G.

Ho wish' ed ma oiler rccorumg mo morigago, io ceruiy that tho title was in them, and that there was no incumbrance on iho property. I o this I romon. strated, exhibited tho record of a mortgago from tho Piursons to J.

Mr. D. informed mo that payments had been made, that there was but about $500 back, that $250 would bo paid that day by way of land, and that Mr. 1 lerson would pay the remaining Qiau as soon as ho could get a bank check discounted which ho thon had. Ho statod that ho must havo tho certi. ficate, that ho would not go without it for fifty . dollars, thon plodged his word as a gentleman, his sacrsd honor, and his salvation, that things were as he said, that he would not deceivo ma for his ricfht hand, and that atoll events, if I would venture to givo him tho certificate, that the in. uumbranco should bo removed and released to my satisfaction beforo he would prosont said mortgage and my certificate to the bank commis. sioner.

CofTinberry, Esq., Register of Deeds, will show to tho publio how Jonathan Drown obtained a certificate from him on tho back of a mortgago oxecutod by the Drowns to tho Auditor General, as socurity for the Dcrricn County Dank, datod 28th January, 1638, stating that said mortgaged premises wcro freo from all incumbrance, when at tho same timo thcro wss a balance of a mortgage on said pro. pniy of COn, with iutciiTt and costs ; on which mortgago 172 acres of tho land described in Drown's mortgago to tho Auditor General, has sinco boon sold. And tho following fact will show how much rclianco ought to bo placed on statements mado by Jonathan Drown, who, with the assistance of Edward Piorson, has conjured up two columns in tho Wluto Pigeon Gazette. In Pierson's letter to Drown, and Drown's com. ments thorcon, recently published in tho White Tigeon Gazette, they unhesitatingly state sever, al times that Coffinbcrry said ho was deceived by tho falso statements of Duck and Sherman, and twico they state, C. said ho bclievod Drown's in. tcntions wero honest when ho obtained said cer tificate. Now this is tho first timo that lever hoard that any person had accused me of ma. king false statements, or Jonathan Drown of ma. king any . pretensions to honesty. The Dank Commissioner, aftor discovering Drown's anxie. ty to becomo a banker, refused to receive his mortgage to tho Auditor General, as Dank sccu. rity, unless ho would mako oath that CoiTinbcr. ry's certificate on tho back of that instrument was truo and correct. This samo Jonathan Drown did make oath on tho 12th af My, 1833, before Justice Hunter, that said certificate was correct, notwithstanding tho samo lien of $500, with interest and costs, remained against tho property and still remains unpaid. If any per. son should wish any further knowlcdgo of Drown's character for moral honesty, or truth and veracity, they can see Edward Pierson's let. tor to mo dated at Detroit in May 1837.
