[Krotnour Evening Edition of yesterday]
[From our correspondent RothtckM?No. XXX.]
Washington* Oct. "J, 1^37.
I hold it next t. impossible to this country ever to
to displace an administration d?at will throw itsell for
support upon the great body lhe democracy, with the
avowed intent of protecting the people from the aggres
sions of the rich. General Jackson caine into office ut?
der this ..lea? his **'??* was regulated by this
doctrine. Mr. Vu Hwren succeeded in virtue ol being
its strenuous advocate, and his rule is to be signalised by
devotion to the same principle. Recollect? this prinei
t?le is to ..rot#*'' l^e Poor 'rorn the encroachments ot the
rich Therefore I look upon the establishment of the
sub-treasury sy8tetu as certain, and the proscription of
bank bills 39 equally so. Talk as the opposition in and
out of Congress inav, Mr. Van Buren will be sustained
}ie will carry his measures. The greater the ruin to
the rich and the property holder, the greater the merit,
for lie w*ll tell the people that this is a sacrifice for their
good. Do you mean to say. then, that there will be no
end of this arraigning the poor against the rich? Yes.
I believe there will be no end of it. The many will
come to Mr. Van Buran's aid, and the louder the cry ot
distress, the louder will be the. shout ot liosannas to the
ruling powers. To hoodwink the agricultural and labor
ing interests is his policy, by getting up a hue and cry
3ainst the banking system. And when this scheme
all have runout, some other prejudice will be appeal,
ed to, and so on to the end ol the chapter. Abolition
will come iu as a valuable aid at the proper time.
With such a prospect before \it, all we have to do is
to examine the schemes of the party, and see how they
will work. To counteract the designs of so flagitious a
faction as the one now in power, is a Herculean task. So
far as L am able, I will exert every means. As the
country is doomed to their cursed rule, 110 pains should
be spared to expose the tendencies of their measures. I
take it, then, for granted, that the sub-treasury scheirie
?will be set in operation, and that Mr. Calhoun's anti
bank proposition will become a law. Should they un
expectedly fail, it will be time enough to talk ot other
measures.
Take the 1st of January, 1838, as the day on which
the sub-treasuries will be i'or the first time in lull blast.
Consider the Treasury wholly unembarrassed, and with
five millions of specie in its vaults on that day. I throw
aside the balance due from the deposite banks, the unex
pended appropriations, the Treasury notes, Jcc. This is
to get a starting point under the newsystem. Two-iilths
of all the customs of the country are collected in New
York. Put down the customs tor 1?3H ai 1"? millions,
and the sales ol public lands at 7 millions. Here we shall
. have a revenue, for the next year, of 27 millions, inclu
ding ths amount in the Treasury. Let us suppose that
the expenditures of all sorts will not exceed 82 millions.
At New York six millions of dollars will be collected.
In this city, then, will be the largest sub-treasury. For
the sake of simplification, I willcall it the mother trea
sury.
To pay the debts of the Government, the Secretary,
who is the cashier of the Treasury, will issue dralts
payable at sight upon such points where there may be
the requisite amount of specie. These drafts or orders
being based upon coin, will be better than coin, and will
command a premium. Instead, therefore, of going to
the sub-treasury on which it is drawn for the specie, the
holder can convert it into cut rent money at almost any
?pot he may please, but on belter terms in New York
than elsewhere, because that city is the great depot of
coin, and the demand for these drafts ihere will be in
cessant. While they command an agio, they will be
used for hills of exchange, and never return to the
strong boxes of the Treasury. After a sufficient number
of them shall be issued, they will be used to buy up coin
for payment of custoMis/lan^s, &c.
To supply 8P'"f'ie. however, required for the 22
revenue in the State banks, should any
of then, resume, will be looked to. So that, whether they
resume or not, they will be prostrated. By not resuming,
their paper will continue to fall till it will not be taken.
By resuming, if their circulation exceed their specie,
their coin will be extracted either by individuals or the
sub-treasuries. Let us suppose, now, dial the drafts on
the sub-treasuries will average a premium over coin
equal to the expense of transporting specie froin New
York to Now Orleans. No matter what quantity of them
may be out, the demand will not be limited to the ab
sorbing power of the revenue, for they will constitute a
most valuable species of exchange, foreign and domes
tic. Place this agio atfourper cent for the sake of ex
ample, and diis will not be far from the truth. It is evi
dent that while these drafts bear a premium, they will
nevej be presented for redemption. Specie is wanted
to pay the public dues. The broker discount* the trea
sury draft at say 1 percent. This rate will rise as spe
cie gets scarcer, till the draft and specie shall be equal.
When will this happen T
The public receipts for 1838, I have placed at 22 mil
lions. There are said to be 80 millions of specie inthe
country. No drafts will be returned to the treasury till
40 millions of coin shall have been collected and paid
into the strong boxes of the United States. Here, then,
we have 40 millions of paper money, representing abso
lute coin, and 40 millions of specie for the current trans
actions of life. All thiscan be done in two years, at the
moderate computation of revenue above made for cus
torus and lands, and limiting the expensesof the govern
ment to the recepts. I have not estimated the 5 millions
found in the treasury at the commencement of the next
year. Leaving out of consideration the (Kilitical power
derivable from the possession of 40 millions of specie,
we shall have arrived at a curious crisis in two years
whence. Every State hank will be crushed, ami values
be reduced G? nor cent. New York will be the s|>ecie
centre of th? Union. It being die best market for coin,
the import trade will increase, and betaken almost en- |
tirely from rthcr porta of entry. But what will take j
place so soon as specie and Treasury drafts are equal ?
The latter will be paid into the Treaaury for dues, and ;
the cashier will issu* new drafts to fhe public > red i tor. 1
The value of specie and drafts will, under such circtim- I
stance*, onlv vary according to the demand upon them
for public clues. Under this system private credit can
not exist to a great degree, while mercantile credit will j
be limited to about 30 millions. 1 have admitted, for the ;
sake of the argument, that the receipt* of customs will 1
be 1ft millions per annum. The probability to, however,
tuat they wil' not exceed 10 millions under Mr. Cal
houn's new policy; Coinmetce cannot fiourish undei it.
If persisted in, what I ha-'O described as the etfert of
two years' trial will re?|uire, perhaps, Ave or six years
to bring almut. Do not Mr Calhonn and Mr. Van Bu
ren see that tli?-ir policy is to bepgar the country and to
concentrate slip tfit.ee! power in their han la ?
In this estimate of the operation of Mr. ( ulhoun's pro*
Kition, 1 have paid no attention to the am<>>mtcf bank
s now in circulation as money. They must I* re
turned for the specie, and the excesa will l?v a ?l*ad loss
to the country. Hence 80 millions of coin arethemdy
basis upon which Mr. Calhoun builds his now edifice
An increase of the precious metals, however improua- 1
file, will tend to sirgravate the operation of the scheme.
These wise heads will see, ere long, die fatal tendency
of their projerta. I accuse them not of ignorance. They
know well fiow they will ojieraie. Look in pat all sides
of 'he subject, I have coine to the conclusion that they
are guilty of an absolute conspiracy against the pr ?s
perity and liberty of the country. This is strong lan
guage. Its trutn will soon be verified. Credit, as a
means of increasing the money of a nation, has been ex
?rted with the happiest influence for the last *00 years.
And yet our rulers would destroy it, and bring us back
to the condition of the Mexican, the Spaniard or the
Kusse. What is this but a vile conspiracy, artfully ad
dressed to the passions and prejudices of thi people, to
be snstained by them against themselves under the im
pression that they are fostering equal rights.
WA?HI*OTni?, < let. 2, 1*37, 7 P. M.
The 1?th day of October, wan fixed thia eviming by
both houan a* th* time of adjournment. Some curioiii
development* ? t?nc out of the debate incident on ihi*
?jneation Mr Perkins. the only aoutli?*rn man that i
Mr. Calhoun carried with him, proposed the amendment
under the pl*a of g sling time to aceide i?l!e new jh,.
licy. He thouqUt it wm alt important that the ?ub trea
ry bill should pais this se??ion. in order to prevent Lank
influence from entering the held.
Mr. Wine a?kedCambreleng if he intended to bring
np the note treanry bill the present ?e*aion. Mr. C.
Mated that an soon aa tlie other bill* had been acted on,
he ahould call it up, and iheo he would see mho would
be willing 10 to* tk t mark. The Virginitn thereupon
dared him to brine it up. He very briefly unravelled
the policy of the admimatration. You bring in, ?aid lie I
to the chairman of the Committee of way* and mean*,
several billa, all armtnjr the exective with the power to
rarry the aub tieaaury policy into effect, neltnt rolent,
you get them passed, you fix a day for adjournment,
ami leave the separatiou or divorce measures to moul
der ia the dust on the speaker's table. No air, said Mr.
Wiae, it is tuore than you dare, to bring up that odious
measure this session. You will do as you did with the
state bank system ? let two years elupse to deceive the
l?e<>ple. Then you will pass it.
Mr. Sergeant grated his hour this morning on the
subject of a National Bank. How sill,) some men are !
When will the system of speaking to their constituents
on the floor of Congress be relinquished by members'?
Serjeant may spout till doomsday, and his arguments
will not be listened to. The National Bank question
has become fully as odious as the old sedition ami alien
law measure. It won't bear thinking of, as Jemmy
Twitcher sava.
Ever since 4 o'clock the Miwuiippi election hns been
before1 tl r-- House. The question will be taken tonight.
Mason, of Ohio, is at this moment entertaining the House
with n disqnis .tion on the meaning of the words "va
cancy" and "happen." Poor fellow, if he and his speak
ing mad friends only knew what a vacancy there happen
ed to be in their skulls, they would not fret the air with
their idle words.
In the Senate, Mr. Bayard of Delaware, made a most
excellent speech tbwi morning. He entered upon the
merits of the new policy and clearly showed that the
eflfect of it would be to erect the Treasury iuto ;i Bank
like that of Amsterdam. Its political influence he did
not touch upon. Bayard is an agreeable speaker ami
thoroughly understands his subject. Mr. W right follow
ed hi tn. Avoiding all party slang, he went intu the sub
ject as a statesman should, admitting honestly that he
was deceived in the state bank policy; fairly confessed
that the object of the administration was to furnish to
the country a currency equal to gold and silver, and to
pull up the state banks to that standard, if they would
come, and avowed that if gentleman insisted that this
reorganization of the Treasury was a Bank, he would
have no objection to calling it a National Bank, provided
they would compromise and meet him half way.
I was very agreeably surprised to find that both Mr.
Wright's and Mr. Bayard's arguments upon the efl'ects
of this reorganization of the Treasury corresponded
with those I attempted to delineate in a letter I wrote
to you this morning. The political effect of course, Mr.
Wright parried, but its influence upon the money and
trade of the country as drawn by him agreed with my
view of the matter in almost every particular. Wright
is a clear headed statesman. Mr. Van Bui en need
have no fear while he is at his right hand. Calhoun
holds forth tomorrow. I Jook for an explicit declaration
of the modus operandi of his whole system. He owes it
to the country to be more frank than he has been.
Mr. Webster urged upon the Senate again some uni
formity in the legislation of Congtesa upon the subject
of ii?es in renewing and bringing suits upon bands. The
bill introduced by the J udiciary committee, to limit the
foes to live dollars, does not strike at the root of the
difficulty. Can't you enlighten senators in the subject 7
They profess ignorance of it. The district attorney' for
New York realizes mere than $35,000 a year. How is
this ?
A resolution was submitted in the House this morn
ing directing the sense of the people to be taken in all
the States upon the questions of a National Bank, the
state bank system and the sub-treasury scheme, and the
returns to be made by the lstof December next. Itwas
received. I hope it may become a law. This is the way
to get at the truth.
Lectt-rk on thk Indians. ? These lectures are each
more and more interesting. What with Mr. Catlin's
dresses, painting# and descriptions, we have the Indi
ans before us as in reality. Their method of catching
wild horses is surprising. Upon seeing a herd of these
animals, they pursue them with a lasso, this they throw
round their necks, and run with them, which they do
with astonishing swiftness, until, by Dulling the rope,
they almost choke the horse and bring liiin exhausted
upon his knees ? they then secure the fore feet, and put
a gag in his mouth, secure to the lower jaw. The losso
is then loosened, and the horse able to breath a little
more freely. Recovering his breath, he attempts to
rise, which the Indian prevents by the gag in his mouth.
The horse continues these attempts until he is complete
ly exhausted, and sinks down covered with foam. He
is then broken. The lecturer saw one thus taken,
which, in half an hour from the commencement of the
pursuit, was ridden by his capturer, and never attempt
ed to gallop away with him, but journeye^ with the other
horses of the travellers through the remainder of the
day, evincing only in his trembling, excessive fear.
Mr. Catlin exhibited several paintings of the Buffalo,
the mode of its capture, Jtc. In order to take them, he
used to go out dressed in a wolf's skin, and by this
means approach near eneughto effect his purpose. This
method is pursued by man) of the Indians fur the pur
pose of shooting the buffalo.
Mr. (,'utlin describes the Indians as by no means poor,
but, on the contrary, rich, those in a natural state. They
have abundance of food, the buffalo, and rich and mag
nificent dresses. They have r?o debts, care noth
ing for specie, and are not troubled with shinpiasters.
Happy fellows ? but then they have a plurality of wives.
Knough saSl '
NlWSPAFKR A!?I> Boolt LlTKKATI'ltK ? Newspaper
per literature was never in a better condition than at
the present period. Book literature never worse. How's
this ? To truce it we must go back, not till the period of
the Hood, but a century at least.
At that distant period, Kngland and America was
flooded widi the most trashy literature that could be
conceived ? the most mawkish love adventures ? rocks,
caverns, castles, stilettos, hair breadth escajies, and
things which never had l?een, and never could be. were |
crammed down the public's throat until it was i;liitted
with horrors and absurdity.
It is true, that at the period of which we were speak
in*. a star or two occasionally glittered in the literary |
hori/on, but they only served to make darkness visible.
The public was now becoming completely sick of book
literature ? but a mighty revolution was about to take
place. It dawned. The author of Wfcverley appear
ed ? the great unknown ? Hcott, with the besom of his
mighty intellect swept the rubbish away which had
too lon^ flooded our libraries at once and for ever. He
returned book literature to its full tide ? to more than
its heretofore full tide? of prosperity. He created a
rage, an enthusiasm for books ? reading unsurpassed and
unsurpas?able. In this he did but what such a mind
in any department that it had marked out for itself,
*?ou\4 have done. Noshing could stand against him ?
whatever he touched he consecrated. Like the sun's
raye, he gihled all he shone upon with the lustre of his
own brightness.
This did not prove the superiority of book literature
over newspaper literature. It only showed what the
might ?f a ffigant^. a (Iml-like mind, could effect. Ma
ny choice writer<7iave taken up the pen since Scott's
time, but it ia n<?t too much to say that their day is past.
I'or this there ia mora than one cause. As regards our
own country especially, * mighty revolution has shaken
it toils very foundation?. are becoming, as is all the
earth m a measure, daily and daily more utilitarian. ?
P' ?ry is winging its flight to Tarnassus's mount, and I
its mission, at least for a tin?e, ia on egrl), en,led.
H en I i ties are now the subjects upon which we look for
writers to treat, riot Action#? realities, startling realities
which are stranger than Action. Readers have no desire
to have their time engrossed in the perusal of the histo
ries and adventures of imaginary characters. They cry
out upon them, fli /e us that which will suit the times
?give us the essence of passing event*. No long, in
terminable yarns, spun from the brain of a p<ser devil of
tin author, who is paid by the line, and who, like milk
men, make their commodity go a* far as they can, by
weakening it us much as they are able, anil making that
amount of matter which would till one column of a news
paper, swell out, like a dried apple soaked in water, un
til it filled a volume of unmeaning verbiage.
Another rea.-on is, that wwspapers ar?? becoming
more graphic than they formerly were. The time was,
when a newspaper gave a mere dry detail of passing
'events and advertisements. When it never presumed
to give a tone to society, and enlist itself in the cause
.ind for the good of the public. Now it docs so. Now
men and maimers are displayed ? their virtues strength
ened ? their vices exposed ? traits ?f individual and ge
neral character made known ? humor preserved ? and
all that is outre lopped off. A newspaper, properly ce:i- |
ducted, now truly blends instruction with delight. The
lleraid has done more for this than any other paper in
the country. In the romance of renl lift*, which it has
given in athousand varied forms from actual observation,
it has engendered a taste for statements based on troth
? >1 distaste for statements ba?-ed on fiction. Hook liter
ature will never be again v hot it has been. It is now
at a stand still. It is in a decline ? it may recover from
its present prostrntcd state, but it will be to lead a sickly
life, and go on crutches. Newspaper literature has
killed it. To newspaper literature people look ? they
get it ? they are satistied - iliey will never wade through
an ocean of word* again, to come to u small island ?f
facts. Books have had their day. Newspapers are
only yet commencing their rrreat career of' utility an?l
popularity, and not many of thciu, and none of the blind
Wall street prints, which still grub according to the old
regime, tans cure, snus hope, sans any thing.
Recent Elections.? The Van Buren party ib no
altogether dead, defunct, nor is the Whig party fully
triumphant. A jfre.it contest must take place, ere
that point is decided. In Maine, there is no election
for governor? and the complexion of the Legislature
i* doubtful. In Maryland, the Van Buren party
have just carried Baltimore ? and in Philadelphia,
parties stand as they were wont. The eccentric move
ments of John C. Callioun, in CongreHs, has thrown
the whig party there on their broad backs, and the
same state of things is generating elsewhere.
Unless the Whigs of this city take care of their
nominations, they will be left broad on their backs
next month. Look sharp.

Dates -New Orleans, September 25th ? Mobile, 27th.
The yellow fever is declining in New Orleans. Th.it
city has been visited by heavy falls of rain, which have
cleansed the gutters, purified the atmosphere, and given
it clean streets and a cool temperature. There is some
alarm evinced in Mobile respecting the yellow fever.
There have been several sudden deaths in that city
from congestive or yellow fever, which is not yet deci
ded. Quarantine laws have been established in regard
to steamboats and vessels arriving from New Orleans
by the Board of Aldermen. The Board of Health,
however, have determined that such a step is unneces
sary, and overruled it. It seems that they possess such
arbitrary power ? the epidemic now raging in New Or
leans not being considered by these sapient gentlemeu
contagious.
In Charleston, in the week ending the 96th nit., only
4 deaths took place.
By news from Fort Micanopy, via Savannah, we
learn that the Indians have suceeeded in driving off* at
least one hundred and fifty head of cattle from the Wah
canta Prairie, and have not left more than eijht or ten
head. An express from Tampa Bay brings intelligence
of the surrender of John Hicks, and ten of kin band. He
was the master spirit among the Mickasukeys.

8tiiGur.AU Polynesian Uaaoi*. ? Other difficulties
were presented by the peculiar anil intricate char.icter
of some of the ancient usages, which we were anxious
to see abolished. One of these was a very unnatural
practice, called knkumi anga. As soon as a son reached
manhood, he would fight and wrestle with his father for
the mastery: and, if he obtained if. woald take forcible
possession of the kaiiujn, or farm, previously belonging
to his parent, whom he e rove in a state o! destitution
from his home. Another perplexing custom was the a*
ant/a. When a wife was bereff. by the hand of ib'ath.
of ker husband, the relations of the latter, instead of
paying the visit of mercy and kindness "to the father
less and the widow in their affliction," would seize eve- j
rv artie'e of value belonging to the deceased, turn the j
disconsolate mother and her offspring away, and then
possess themselves of the house, the food, and the land. I
Another difficulty was produced, by what they called 1
ktti kningw, or land-eating, which is getting unjust |h>s
session of each other's lands ; and these, once obtained,
are held with the greatest possible tenacity, for land is
exceedingly valuable in Karotonga, ami no subject v-erc
their contentions more frei|u?*nt and tierce. Ou investi
gating this latter practice, we found it to be a species of
oppression in which so many were irvolved, and also a
point upon which the leelintrs of nil were so sxi|uisitely
sensible, that to moot it would be to endanger the peace
of the island. We, therefore, though) it tunst<fidvi*able
to recommend the chiefs to remain, for the present, in
abeyance. ? William *'? Missionary Knltr/wipta in tht
