RI-LNACTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT
TREASURY. 3
D) emecrate will rejoice that the mdspvn«knt
troasiury is resiored. The fundamental |]mnr|ple
of this system is. that the public monoy should be
kept strietly for public purposesi that is, instead
ol bring nllawad}w go into banks, one or many,
and there used ar a basis of diseount 1o any por
tion of the community, that it should be retained
by the agenis of the government, and at all tinies
be resay for the wau's of the nation, "This idea
was & faverite one with Jetferson. Aw early as
1702, and in & letier to Mr. Gallatn, while enjoy
ing the w 0 much vaunied benefit of a national
bunk, he asks the secretary of the treasury whether
he could not then “MAKE a BEGINYING TOWARDS
AN INDEPENDENT USE OF OUR own MoNEY."” A
demoeratic eongress, in Mr. Van Buren's admin
istration, established the “independent use of our
own woney ;" but this ill suited the materiel
which made up the whig majority of 1340, and
the law waie repealed. This repeal necessarily
renewed the connection that kad so long existed
between banx and state.
The presen congress have re enacted the con
elitutionn! trewsury. ‘T'here ean be no doubt
amang democrats of the earrectness of the prin
ciple upon which this bill i« founded ; and if there
arc errersan the details of the law, practice will
point them aut, and futnre legislation ean correct
thesn The avils of the old system, of wllowing
the pable w uw'y to be loaned, are many aud
eviient. Inthe future, as ¥ has been, there will
be times when large amountsof the public funds,
for short periods, may be collecied at particolar
points; and if the banks were allowed to use
them, they wou!d wake the most of them, and
thus increase the natural obstructions of trade.
Herelofore this has had a powerful agency in
stimulating enterprise into rashuess, and thus
making our commercial revulsions more severe
than otherwise they would huve been. This has
been frankly admitted by those who favored the
loan system ; but was supposed to be compensa
ted by the fecility with which the public funds
conld be trausferred, throngh the agencies of
banks, from oue point to another. Bat this ar
gument has lost its force. Tt 1s an obsolete iden
that a pational bavk is necessary 1o regulute ex
changes; and dwring the time the independent
treasury was in operation the necessary transfers
wero made wiih perfect safety and convenience.
The independent treasary system is pre-eimi
nently an equal system, for it favors no classes :
itis a just system, for what can be more proper
than lfnt the public funds shoun!d be kept for
puiblic purposes : 1t is a safe eystem,-for however
distastrous cowmereial revulsions in future may
be, howaver wide way be a suspension of specie
paviaents, the government moneys will be free
from them. And it is eminently a consututional
eystem. Inm adopting it, congress have given ef
ject to the, public will, and proved true to the
principles of democracy.— Boston Post,
A serxcivgror wiie ruin.—The Palladium and
Courant have a great dea! to say about the ruin
of our manufacturers, under the new tariff iaw,
The shoemskers, carriage-makers, blucksmiths,
hatters, tiuners, &c., are called upon to prepare
for “ruin,”” sud the workmen For starvation.
The Bridgepcrt Farmer has instituted a compar
-leon of the two tariffs, io such matters as relate
more particularly to our own state, and it may
be seen what a tremendous blow has been given
to the principal branches of waunufucturing indus
try in this quarter :
Articles. Present Tariff. New Tariff.

So much for the “fell blow of locofocoism'’ on
theso articies. which employ a great proporiion
of the manufasturing capital and industry of this
sinie. The figures speak for themselves. The
duty en men’s shues, fur hat bodies, wool hats,
hat badies of wool, and coarse blankets is higher
than under the tariff of '42 ; while on all the other
articies, it is the same, or so slightly reduced as 10

modibications which are henceforth 1o make us

Haven Register.
Mr. Dallas.—~The bitterness which has charae
tenized the Whig press m reference to the vote
of the Vies President upon the Tariff question,
has but served 10 make éven more manifest the
attachwent and confidence of the Democracy ;
and thousands of the real Democracy of Philadel
phia have tendered their services and their de
sires to give to Mr. Dallas an honorary escort
upon b ratarn hither. This, we learn, he pos.
tively deelines, and he has, in onr judgmen,
dons wiseiy. He has had a painful sk allotted
to lum, but has performed it fearlessly and hon
estlv, e an act of duty—of duty merely—one for
which he des res no praises, no congratulations,
nor auy movements calculated to create or in
crease excitament. His office is high and digni
fied, and he rightly views it as incombent on him
by all bis efferts, 0 allay und not to occasion any
feeting that has existed on the subject, whether
real, or the fictitious manufacture of the panic
mongers. These feelings do him honor; and in
declining to receive frow his Democratic lowus
men the proffered compliment, he has shown
himsclf sbove the motives which the Whig edi
tors have se lavishly imputed to him —Pennsyl

Gen. Toylor and the Presidency.—A correspon
dent amoug the volunteere, writes as follows to
the Mobile Herald: I was somewhat curious
to know what effect the sudden popularity of
Gen. Taylor would have upon him. When the
old soldier beard of his nomination to the Presi
dency by various meetings in the Union, he
showed se much surprise asany'of us. He went
farther, aud »xpressed a decided opinion against
the election to that office of military chieftaine—
mwaking an exception, however, or excuse, in fa
vor of Gaen. Jackson, whoee intimate friend he
was, and for whom he had the strongest attach
ment. His worde, as fiven to me, ran sowe
what in this shape: ‘I have been always oppos
ed to the eleciion of mere soldiers to the Freni
dency. They have no business in a civil office
of wo greal responsibility. and they are usuall
unfitted by educa.ion and experience for it. {!

don’t wonder at it. "_uch things ought to be re

Panic Making.—A correspondent of the New

THE CLOSE OF THE 29TH CONGRESS
Under our Congressional head we have given
#i abstraet of the last day’s proceedings in both
[louses of Congress. It was a busy scene, that
lust day, awd there was considerable hurried leg
islation ; some things were done hastily, und oth
er things were owmitted, which ought to have
been done ; for ulithough it was a session of un
usual, and wo believe, unparalleled length, yet
it+ conelucion took the legislutors by surprise, be
fore the maturity of all their intended measures.
The Washington correspondent, Civis, of the
New York Evening Post, gives an intereating
skeich @f the last day's proceedings, and from his
lettor uear ita close we sclect the following para
graphs:
“Having thus announced the great fact of the
termination of the first session of the twenty
uwinth Congress, it will be proper 1o state what
was doue on the lost day, and then briefly allude
to what was accomplished. In the first place,
then, the $2,000,000 appropriation to be employ
od for unspeciied purposes in negotiation with
Mexice, fuiled. It had passed the House, coup
led with an unsavory proviso, but was not taken
up iu the Senate at ull. T'o be candid, lam very
giad that the whole proposition was defeated.
T'he mitnation and fate ol'thu Oregon bill was the
snme ; it had passed the House,and was patient
ly awaiting the pleasure of the Senate, on the ta
bla of ite Sccretary. I was not even looked at,
In faet, they *‘breathod not its name.” This was
too bad, for Judge Donglass had drawn the bill
with great care, and it was a very good bill as it
paesed the Houso, [am alraid there was a lit
tn—=the least taste in life—of fifty-four forty ma-.
luvolence in this! But let it pass, although the
bill did not puss. lam chiefly concerned about
s untoward failure because of the previeus dis
appointment it has brought to a small crowd of
demoerats [rom the west, who were willing and
anle 1o mane excellent governors, secretarie+, or
ndgee, or ludian agents.
~ 'il'heve was another important measure which
chvi.e 10 au untimely end, and this was the post |
office bill avout franking, and postinasters’ com
missions, and single and double letters, that was
passed by the Senate after the defeat in the Honse
of the kindred bill, which [ described soine days
ago, This bill did not, like the others, como to
its death in the Senate chamber, but died of a col
lapse in the rotunda. The French spoliaton bill
was the vietim of the veto, It came to its end
through no fault of its own, but by the visitation
of the Executive. And the veto itself came very
near buing victimized by a two thirds vote.
In the House the bill for the sale of the copper
lande was u failure. It had passed the Senate,
but the infant was overlain by ite too anxious pa
rents, and smothered. 1 have iny doubts in re
gurd te that bill. It may be very well in its way,
but the probability is that the government had
better keep those lands, and make all they can
out of tham. With this passing glance at the
day's work, | close for tonight.”
The Jeurnal of Commerce has the following
remarks on the adjournment of Congress :
‘T'he firet session of the 20th Congress has ter
minated, after a continuance of wore than sight
months. It has been a most important session,
and it will long be remembered either for good
or evil, by this and other lands. It has escaped
a great war, and encountered alittle one. It hus
settled the Oregon question in an honorable and
sutiafuetory wanner,—~which aulone is an achieve
ment of no ordinary magnitude.
In ite roevenue measures, it has regarded the
agricultuval and commercial interests, as well as |
the wmanufacturing. The new Revenue Law |
knocks off the shackles which former Congresses |
had placed upon commerce,and bids her go free l
Besider some minor enactments of a beneficial |
tendency, this Congress has passed three laws of |
great value to the cowmercial community, viz:
1. A Taritf which esseutially reduces the dulieu,
on the waterials entering into the coustruction of |
ships, and also upon the goods transported in
them. 2. A Warehousing 811, which enables
themn to pay duties as they want the goods ; and |
whieh will attraet the commerce of other nations |
to our ports, and espacially to this port, s a con- |
venivnt ledgement for merchandize uuntil the fit
time shall arrive for conveying it to somo other |
country with perbaps an additional assoriment |
made up from the products of ovr own industry. |
Much of this carrying will be dove in American |
vessels. 3. A Canada T'ransit Law for exports, |
which will give our neighbors of the Nurth the |
free use of our canuls nnd water-craft, by paying
freight and tolls,~and the free use of our harber |
and ships, by payingcosts, charges, commiesions, |
&e. "lPhio new conrse of trade will benefit Can
ade even more than ourselves. I
Mapy other laws of an important character
have been enacted during the session.
From the Wushington Union of Monday,
CONGRESS ADJOURNED.
Beth Houses of Congress udjourned this day,
in conformity with their joint resolution, at 12
o'elock T'he hour was considered as perempto
tily binding on the speakers, but we trast it is the
“very last time that the resolution for adjournment
is to be fixed at a particular hour—for, what is
the ¢ffect to-day? T'wo or three of the most im
portant bills ol the last daya of the session were
cut off by the knees. The navy pension bill is
thrown overboard, to the great detriment of many
a poor widow The post office route bill, em
biracing. among other important features, the pro
vision reviving the privilege of franking in favor
of all those post oflices the salary of which does
net amount to $lOO, was overlaid. The bill
confirming the Cherokee treaty, which had been
twiae rejected in the Senate- on Saturday, and
then passed by a majority of one, was lost for want
of time to act finally upon it.
The important bill which authorizes the Pres.
ident to employ $2,000,000 in facilitating the set.
Uament of peace with Mexico, was actually lost
by M. Senator Davis, of Massachusetts, speak
ing againet time, whilst voices from the chamber
were heard remonstrating against him for his de
terinined attempt 1o prevent the introduction of &
resolution prolonging the session for a few hours.
This measure, which is deemed most important
for negotialing a peance between the two coun
trieé, and the fundamental rrincirlo of which
was recognised bg tho vote of the House of Rep
rosentatives on the passage of the bill, and by a
decided vote of the Senate on their own resolu
tions, has been sacrificed by a senator's wasting
the time of the Senate until the mowmont of ad
journment had arrived.
~ Whatever mischial may arise from the loss of
this bill, may be fairly attributed to the ‘* honora
ble'' senator from Muassachusetts.
It ie unfortunate that these measures should
have failed doring the last hours of the session ;
but however much we may regret the loss of
them. we cannot hesitate to pronounce, that this
liay been one of the most remarkable and brilliant
sessions which has ever been held withing the
walla of the Capitol. Its importance has com
penesated for its duration. Long and arduous
and animated as it has been, we rejoice that it
hine been continued until all the great measures
of referm which the President recommended in
his message, and the interests of the country de.
manded, have been carried through, except the
gradustien of the public lands. But this trephy
remsine for the next session 10 weave noun«riu

isfaction, and it being a litle previous to the din
ner hour, our eyes and our noses were saluted
with the [at things of the land. which were then
being prepared for the table, in great variety and
profusion,
e BITTES
A littla past one, dinner was anuonuced, and
the long table under the shade of the tall trecs
was supplied with baked clams, fish chowder, va
rious kinds of fish variously cooked. green corn
fresh picked, clams with butter, fresh vegetables,
new butter and other “condiments’ and *little
epicures’’, with tea and coffee. I'he fare was
good, and our eppetite for it had been created,
by n walk on the shore, amongst the sea weed,
and through the shadowas of tho grove. J
Wa observed two donkics wandering about the
premises us though they were at home, neither
seeking nor avoiding the attention of visitors. ]
Wheu the company had retired from the table, ‘
one of those long eared creatures leisurely walk
ed up to examine the provisions of the board, ‘
and we were not a little surprised to see him put
his nose into a large platter filled with baked .
clamne warm from the oven. Our fellow traveller
remarked that Dr. Frauklin made a mistake when
he ordered a peck of oysters to be set for his °
horse to eat, for it wae evident your korse is no
adwirer of shell fish, but here was proof positive 1
that they were good asinine food. DBut long ecars
was driven away from the table by one of the ser
vants before he could test the qnality of the clame. l
Warm though the weather was, the nine-pin
allies were occupied by parties through the day,
but through the day there was a fine invigorating
breeze borne from the soft bosom of the Narra
gansett river and bay, that differed greatly from J
the close, heated and dry atmosphere which we |
found in the city on onr return.
There was much compuny present, and yet
perfect order and sobriety prevailed, and difTer
ent parties of ladies aud gentlemen amused them
selves without interfering with each other. The
proprietor has printed rules for the preservation
of good order, stuck up in various parts of the
grove, and they appear to be cheerfully complied
with by visitors without the necessity of coercion 1
or remonstrauce ou the part of the landlord, and |
amongst the best of these rules is the pronibition |
of gambling.
We eould say much more in praise of this cool, '
rural retreat, but we will cut short, and conclude
by advising every city reader, who is the head of
a fuwily, to charter a sail boat or carryall, the first
sultry day, end transport himeelf, wife and little
omes, to Swith's Palace, for one day’s recreation
beneath its verdant shades. i
Livery SrtasLes —Among other matters and
things in which we thini our city is equal to
her neighbors, are the excellent livery stables,
aird among these we know of none better than
that of Messrs O. H. Kelton & Co., Market
Square. lelton baslately procured several new,
beautiful, and convenient carriages, of different
descriptions, sowe of them superior to any we
hhve ever before seen—theso together with swift
horses and careful drivers, renders this establish
went one of the most desirable for a first rate *‘fit
out'’ for a long or a short journey, or a mere trip
to the steamboat or cars.
DAt or Bissor Fenwick.—The Boston pa
pers record the death of that eminent and learned
prelate, the Right Reverend Benedict J. Fen
wick, Roman Catholic Bishop of that city, which
melancholy event took place at his residence
there last Tuesday, in the Gsth year of his age
and the 21st of his episcopacy. His disease was
dropsy. IHe wans a native of Maryland, for many
yenrs was President of the Georgetown College,
and belonged to the order of the Jesuite. He
was & mau of exemplary piety, and esteemed
where he was known for his christian and sociak
character.
{3 A military company called the Continen
tnllers, paraded at New York on Tuesday, dres
sed iv the uniform of the heroes of '76, namely,
cocked hats, blue coats with bull facings to the
skirts, buff small clothes, white cravats, and high~
legged cPose seiting boots with tops turned down.
This corps resembled a band of patriots of revolu
tiomary times, and also some independent com
panie® which we recollect to have seen and been
often delighted with in our early days, which ma=
ny years after the close of the revolutionary war
used to “‘astonish the natives” of the asylum of
Roger Williams with their military evolutions
and exercises. We recur to those days, and
those military movements, with great pleasure,
and retain a feeling of veneration for the eocked
nat and buff dress worn by Washington and his
cempatriots, when
“'The rebel vales and rebel dales
With rebel echoes sounded.”
“The Daily Gozette at Northampton has been
discontinued—the publisher preferring 10 con
tinue on the old, less laborious, and more profit
able way 10 him, of getting out a weekly sheet.”
What a fool the editor of the Northampton pa
per must be to priot a paper only once a week,
which affords him a comfortable living, when he
might print a paper daily, with a vast deal of la
bor and harrassing care, snd get nothing for it
but the fault-indinge of his non-!nyi" patrons.

SANTA FE EXPEDITION.
| Pawsex Forx, July 16, 1846,
~ Qur banalion of light iufantr‘y lelt the fort on
the 30th ult., Col. Kearney, with staff and escort,
joining ne. We overtook Capt. Hudson’s com
ano at Creck No. 110; Capt. Murphy's and
t‘npt. Anglin’s foot companies, (the first from
Weston, the latter from Cole county.) at Coun
cil Grove. Yesterday we came up with the main
body of Col. Doniphan's regiorent at this place,
aud the forces now assembled here amount to
nearly 1500 men.
At the first start, and especially from the fort to
Kansas River, our marches were slow aud irreg
ular. After the fourth day, however, the cond.-
tion of things began to change for the better;
oeur wmen got somewhat accustomed to their du
ties, and our marches procceded with greater
re{ulurily.
t would seem that our commander-in.chief is
determined to make a remarkable short trip of
it; so much so, that he bas increased our snily
wmarches from an average of eighteen miles per
day, as they were in the commencement, to
twenty five miles; and yesterday he kept up on
huree from sunrise to near sunset, making thirty
four miles in one day.
It need not be added that these forced marches,
making our srtillery * flying artillery” in good
earnest. have a ruinous tendency on our horses,
although it must be confessed they hold out ex
ceedingly well; but it seems that Col. Kearney
promises himsell’ such advantages from a speedy
arrival at Santa Fé that all minor considerations
appear to be merged in that one great end, and
heartily do all the men co-operate with him to car
ry out his design, gladly following wherever he
leads them.
$113,305 25
In general, we all enjoy the best health, and I
do not believe that there are more than three of
our battalion on the sick list, and they by no
means dangerously ill,
It is now reduced to a certainty that we shall
o by Beut's Fort, and thence by Tuos 1o Santa
t‘o. All hopes are now relinquished of Capt,
Moore's having overtaken the &exiqm caravan.
We shall hear from him again, at Kans<as Ford.,
the day after to morrow. Itis known for nearly
certain, that upon arriving at Santa Fe, a large
detachment of troops will be sent to the Pacific,
though of the intention of Gen. Kearvey, very
little if any thing is positively known, farther than
Gen. K. will take possession of New Mexico as a
part of Texas, and will act as the intermediate
Governor of that provinee.
There is nothing definitely knownto any body,
although Gen. Kearpey himse!l thinks that we
shall meet with little or no resistance at SBanta Fe,
rovided we reach it in time. Gen. Armijo is
Known to favor our claims, and uniess he be
forced, at an early time, by the Central Govern
ment, 1o resist, will, in any case, make only the
mere show of opposition against onr claims to
the whole of the country East of the Rio Grande
del Norte.
Santa Fe.~The St. Louis Reveille of the Bth
contains a letter from Fort William, on the Ar
kansas River, under date of the sth July, which
says that several Americans had arrived from
Taos and Srnta Fe—the news of the declaration
of War had created considerable excitement at
Sante Fe, and it required some stratagem to get
away from the place. Anmij'o the Governor,
was much frightened, but had given orders to
have everything in redivess to give the troops a
warlike reception. It is, however, believed that
the country to the Rio del Norte will be given
up without a struggle. The sudden departure
oFtho Awericans alier the news of the declaration
was not glening to the Mexicans, and they were
talking about troops to bring them back. No ef
fort was however made to effect that object.
Naval.—Commodore Shubrick’s broad pen
nant was hoisted on board the Independence yes
terday, at noon, and a salute was Ercd from the
Navy Yard. Sheis now in the stream off Long
wharf, and will sail in a few days for the Pucil

or other organ, primary or subsidiary ; if the element of dis
onso, sickness must be the conscquence, and until the couses
of disease existing in the blood are eradicated, no permanent
relief can be expected. It is here that the powerful health
restoring properties of Sands’ Sarswparilla are manifosted 3
