- The Force Bill arms the President with the
‘tfer of enforcing the assertions of his Procla
mation, according to the tenor, or caprice of his
own direction. And, lastly, his disposal of the
nublic money, by their removal from the Bank
of the United States, leaves nothing of principle
behind to be conceded by the people to him, or to
be ta*en by him from them. The President has
been badly advised. He must not be allowed,
under any circumstances, to control the Trea
sury. That Department must belong to, and be
controlled exclusively by the people of the States.
1 forbear to express any opinion as to the rasp
incr effects upon the community of the Presi
dent’s new and arbitrary monied arrangements.
I have been too little practically conversant
with monied matters to be able to form an opin
ion.
I cannot conclude this hasty and I fear crude
reply to your very flattering note, without re
peating the regret I feel at being obliged to fore
go the gratification which a compliance with
vour wish would, under other circumstances, af
ford me.
Accept for yourselves, and for those you re-'
present, assurances of the high respect of your
humble servant and fellow citizen.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
Annapou9, Jan. 29, 1834.
The report of the committee in relation to the
play-billy and the resolutions of Messrs. Sitford
and Fassit going to censure the Editor of the
Maryland Republican for his remarks thereon,
came up; both the above gentlemen asked leave
to withdraw their respectiye resolutions, when
some warm discussion ensued. At length the
House allowed them to withdraw their resolu
tions. Several propositions were then made,
going to disclaim any agency on the part of the
House, in the getting up of said plccy-billy the
phraseology of all of which, being objectiona
ble to some, gave rise to a very long and ani
mated discussion: finallv. after a debate of
about two hours duration, the House passed a
resolution* offered by Mr. Harris. setting forth
that “ the statement contained m a play-bill,
which, on - inst., was laid on the desks of
the members of the House, and commented up
on by several papers, is utterly false.”
Mr. Hughes (Editor of the Maryland Repub
lican) has been entirely exculpated.
The House seem to be of one opinion, that
his conduct was censurable. Encomiums
were passed, by members of all parties on him
as a man.
Debate on the ^ New York Resolutions.—We
invite attention to the remarks made by Mr.
Wright, on introducing the resolutions-of the
Legislature of his State. Much has been said
about the seltish designs of New York, in op
posing the perpetuation of the present Bank of
the United States, it has been again and again
urged, that the secret intention was to create a
greater Bank, and fix the seat of its power in
the Empire State!!
This assertion has been' insisted on, to alarm
the rival interests of Pennsylvania, and the jea
lousy of the Southern States, with regard to the
great constitutional principle itself. The views
of the democracy of New York, being now un
folded, all the spectres which have been conjur
ed up to influence the great question, are, we
trust, forever laid.— Globe.

SHlMEALL’S ECCLESIASTICAL CHART.
THIS splendid production is now for sale in
this city (for a few days only) by the agent.
Description would impart but an inadequae idea
of its extraordinary merit, and it will therefore
not be attempted. It must be seen to be correct
ly appreciated. Suffice it to say, that it embra
ces a complete synopsis of History, Sacred and
Profane, from the creation to the present year,
so arranged in colored diagrams, vignettes, and
emblematic engraving,as to combine great faci
lity ofacquisition with the most surpassing beau
ty of mechanical execution. The Chart is
strongly recommended by President Duer, of
Columbia College; by Bishop Moore, of Va.; by
Drs. Milnor, Lyell, Wainwright, Lansing, Mat
Tirna-r>lp*> nf (W.vv
York; by Rev. Dr. Murdock, of New Haven; by
Professor Durbin; by Re\'. Messrs. Norton and
Whittingham; by President Fisk, of the Wes
leyan University at Middletown* Conn.; by the
Rev. N. S. S. Beman, of Troy; Rev. Philip
Milledoler, President of Rutger’s College, and
many others. Dr. Brownlee, of New York, re
marks: “I should suppose that every scholar
and every man of taste who sees it would be
anxious to possess a copy of it. And I would,
in a special manner, call the attention of the La
dies to it, as a beautiful ornament of the hall
and study room; and particularly, from its size
and shape, as an exquisitely pretty covering for
a centre or^crap table.”

ALEXANDRIA:
SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 1, 1834.
' y s
Biot in Utica.—The Utica papers give an ac
count of some riotous proceedings in that city,
a few evenings since. A procession marched
through the city, blowing horns, rattling tin-.
pans, &c.j and among other acts offensive
to good order, they hung the Rev. Dr. Beriah
Green, of the Onedia Institute, or Manual La
bor College, in effigy. The immediate cause .
of these outrageous proceedings, was Jhe fact
that Dr. Green solemnized a marriage between
a negro man and a white girl.
Another Riot.—A Lancaster (Pa.) paper men
tions that a serious disturbance has been creat- >
ed by some of the workmen employed on the
Gap section of the Philadelphia and Columbia
Rail Road. The object was to obtain higher |
wages, and to prevent others from work, until 1
this was accomplished. It is stated that a troop
of horse, at Lancaster, had received notice to I
hold themselves in readiness t© repair to the spot
and quell the riot, should the more peaceable
means resorted to, fail.
Liverpool Packets.—The old line of Liverpool
packets has been sold by the former proprietors
to a new company, of which the agents in New
York are Messrs. Goodhue & Co., and in Eng
land Messrs. Baring, Brothers & Co.
CONGRESS.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. POINDEX
TER offered a series of resolutions, referring
the present financial state of the country to the
Committee on Finance, aud empowering them
to send for persons and papers,—which he ac
companied with some animated remarks. The
resolutions were laid on the table. The resolu
tions of the New York Legislature, presented
yesterday by Mr. WRIGHT, were then taken
up, and Mr. WEBSTER addressed the Senate
for an hour in a most eloquent and impressive
manner. He depicted the distressed state of
the country—deplored the situation of affairs—
and regretted ttfat the remarks of the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Wright) would only add
to the general depression, \tfhen he comment
ed upon one of the means relied upon by the
Executive to uphold its present course, and an
argument which had been urged to show that
its course would be sustained,—viz: the natural
enmity of the poor to the rich,—he denounced
in the most indignant manner the fraud and
baseness of the reason. He showed that ho
nest labor was now suffering, and that the real
moneyed aristocracy were now rioting upon its
prostration and anxious for the existence of
the present state of things.
After Mr. WEBSTER had concluded, Mr
WRIGHT rose to reply, hut deferred his re
marks to another day; when the Senate took up
the special order, and Mr. GRUNDY resumed
and concluded his speech in favor of the Re
moval of the Deposites and in defence of the
Administration.
When Mr. GRUNDY concluded, Mr. FRE
L1NGHUYSEN took the floor, and the Senate
adjourned to Monday.
In the House of Representatives, a variety of
private business was transacted.

100 DOLLARS REWARD.,
ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks
burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re
markably, white hair; his stature stout and well 1
i set. He wore a brownish'colored stufT cloak. 1
The negro is between twenty-live and thirty
years of age, as well as is’remembered; stout in
his person^ and about five feet ten or eleven in- J
ches high; has a drawling manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sugacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. Ilis dress was a
blue cloth cap. a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any (
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of i
the forehead, not covering more than the size of l
a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years of age; is re- t
markably long in her body; has along tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. 'Inhere ;
may be discerned in the lilm of one of her eyes .
an incision which was made a year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion of four and two for the recovery of r
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.
