CONDITION OF SLAIN.The following extracts, which we ob-

serve in one ol our kiicst London prints,

give a sad picture of the condition ofthe Spatitsii monarchy, in the beginningA iast month.

Extractsfrom Madrid.“Conspiracies, arrests and denuncia-

tions succeed each other with rapidity.

Our paper money is no longer current,all the public coders are empty—‘the

pay of the public officers and pel sons be-longing to the government is severalmonths in arrear, and the noise of ourmaritime preparations, whi h for twoyears have excited the' attention of Eu-rope and America, no longer createswonder. The Spanish people, duringthe late war, had sacrificed every thingfor the persdn and cause of their present sovereign; but since the happy pe-riod of the return of hismajisiy, the pen-insula is filled with discontented and fac-

t.ous persons. The holy office obstinate-

ly persecutes the smallest vestiges offreemasonry

; the Jesuits, now revived,

multiply astonishingly, and schools ol

mutual instruction are opening in evervpart of the kingdom, under the protec-tion of the prince and the principal lordsof the court. The contagion ravagesour best provinces, whilst this capital re-

sounds with the discharge of artillery,

announcing the festivities ol his majes-ty’s marriage.

The Cadiz expedition is at length bro-ken up. They now burn the provisionsand military effects ; communicationis no longer kept up w ith the vesselsstationed in the 'different ports of' thecoast of Andalusia. The Hoops, carriedback into the interior, disperse of them-selves. Cadiz, St. Mary’s, La Isla deLeon, Chiclanu St. Lucar, all maralinieAndalusia, and even Sev iile,and perhapsCordova, are a prey to the yellow feverbrought from the Havana, and combin-ed with the epidemic which desolatesthe coast of Africa. Greedy Englishand French speculators, attracted by thehopes o! exorbitant freights and a future•ale of goods, which the governmentseemed to w ink at, have come to diea-ide of their hales, which must now b

committed lo the flJmes. The crews ol

the transports have also caught the contagioii. Some captains, it is said, ban.been aide to escape from the circle in

which they were kept. They earndeath with them, and even all Europe is

direatened, if some barrier is not put to

the communications of Spain with othernations.

Ol whr; avail are now those immensepreparations of which some offic ial de-ed dine rs have announced the unerringconsequences for more than two years ?

The contagion has at length put an endto this tcuio.us rnodomontade. Mode-rate c dcukitioes stale the expenses to be25 millions qf dollars already incurredfor this subject, and our fairest provin-ces arc a prey to devastation. Do not

henceforward expect balleth.s detailing

the ravages of the fever. The dead are

no longer counted, and they arc afraid

of milking their i, umbers known.Whilst the plague is .-t votiring lower

Andalusia, ihe inquisition has seized onGrenada. Arri;sisare every clay increas-

ed. The count La Puebla, Messrs.

Mendoza, Danila, and numbers of equal-ly distinguished persons, have been con-\ eyed to prison, or been distributed in t het invents ; the monks serve as gao ers.

though the ptisoners do not for this fare

better. Freemasonry is the chief charge.General Elio continues to look alter

the Valencia conspiracy. Before his

time, the inquisition had never been call-

ed upon solemnly to. take eongi iznnce

of affairs in which religion had no part.

The ordinary tribunals did all that wasnecessary. The present governor had I

discovered that toe taller were too slow. *

But why be astonished ! Have wc ant

lundamcntel constitution or pawns le-

gally balanced ? Certainly not ; the min-ister is authorized to speak in the nameof the monarch. Behold our code !

—

This Elio kr.ctv well when he came'toValencia, at the end of May, 1814, to of-

fer his sword to Fkkiiinand, and to be-

seech him to reign according to the man-ner of his august ancestors. When the

monarch thus reigns, the captains gene-rals govern the provinces accordingly.

'Lite war minister addresses to all the

Command, rs of provinces orders to huntdown all deserters' from tiie latcexpcdi,

lion. These unhappy sokhene, flying

from tiie contagion, carry it with themwherever they go. But who can stop

! their flight ?

One of our diplomatists endeavored to

•find out the conduct the United States

;W'onMq>'"siie on learning the lton-ralifi-j

c tion of the Florida Treaty. Will youmake war on us, said he to an Ameri-|ran minister ? My nation has too muchpity for you. If w eds larc war against

you, a simple demonstration on our part

would realize the independence of yourcolonies. You would then have no more

|

money to expend, nor troops to consumein this quarrel. We s' ou!d - at her wish

Ito punish you by letting you follow up'the system you have adopted. With rc-' op rd to the indemnities you owe us, tvei

shall always Find out a go d, mor'g gFerdinand A II. is a powerful monarclin his otv.n country, but be cannot change

• the geographical posi'ion of the Fioridasof the Havana, or of Mexico.”

THE SPANISH TREATY.Public opinion as to the final ratifica-

ioi Spain, is still unsettled. The letters|lroni Madrid and Gibraltar differ mate-rially on the subject* The Gazette oftion, or rejection ofthis treaty by the tinythis morning announces, that there is

•etter in town from Don Cnis, who negotiated the treaty, saving that “ it is

not but will be ratified.” The Don al-

so remarks, that “ the Spanish Genera'Millet, who has a perfect geographicaknowledge ol the Fioridas, is to be sentto the United S'r

y’es, to settle definitiveI y, B' e differences which have occurredas to certain Spanish grants.”— D. Adv.

Extract of a letter, dated St. Thomas,November 6.

“ General Bolivar had despatched ge-neral Ai.q -atugi with 2500 men to takeSanta Martha. Bolivar is busily enga-ged in organizing the army lately raisedin New Grenada. The number is sait 1

to he 8000. A portion of the moneythat was taken at Santa Fe had reachedSt. Angostura, and some of it had arriv-ed at St. i homes.. The doubloons ol

1819 arc unusually heavy. This moneylias given new life to the patriot cans1 heir army is in a. plentiful countryand well supplied with provisions andlorage. It is the opinion of our corres-pondent, that ff the patriots do not quar-rel, or if strong reinforcements to theroyalist army do not arrive from Spain,Mori Ho, and every hostile Spaniard willbe forced to leave Venezuela in less

than six months.General Motillo, at the latest dates,

dr ss was widely circulated. We give

act:-

grievances.

Let all industrious classes consult their

own good ; the idle, the intolerant, andthe sordid, have long consulted theirs

contrary lo reason, humanity and jus-

tice !

Myriads of' Britons, alive to liberty,

meet to give one imposing-evidence oftheir love of freedom, their will to befreemen, and to make one more afift. al

whose measures have long disgraced thecrown, oppressed industry, and at last

brought ruin into the land !

United nations call on one man to de-

clare himself the friend of humanity,justice and liberty ! And unlike his

predecessors, instead of incorporotirig a

town or village, a people tall upon himto immortalize his name by enfranchise

ing whole nations.

Can one man, will one man resist thevoice of millions ?

Will millions forever be the dupes ofknaves? Forbid, ye departed spirits ofthe brave, whose crimson blood bathedso oft the sacred shrine of liberty ! For-bid it, ye living patriots whose hearts

bleed for your dead and dying, for yourfamished and famishing countryfolks

Forbid it, every man who has a soul to

EXTRACT OF A LATTER, BATED

Frankfort, Dec. 14.

The bill suspending operations under

executions on judgments, decrees and

replevin bonds, of all grades whatever,

has this day passed the house of repre-

sentatives by a majority of 24 votes.

—

The rights of the creditor are pretty

well guarded. In cases when execu-

tions have been levied on property, forth

coming bonds may be required, so that

the property must be re-delivered to

the officer from one to twenty days after

the expiration of the act, which lasts on-

ly sixty days. Officers arc restrained

from collecting the fees which may have

accrued to them by virtue of any case

coming witin the provisions of the act.

The object of the act being merely to

operate as an inj unction until the legisla-

ture see whether any permanent relief

will be afforded, I am induced to think

the Senate will concur in its passage.

IXTRACT TO THE EDITORS, BATEDFrankfort, Dec. 15.

Nothing of interest was done in the

house of representatives to-day, exceptthe discussion and the disposition of a

resolution offered by Mr. Knight, re-

commending the suspension of specie

payments, and the issuing of 8600,000,tinder certain restrictions, in their notes.

It was postponed to the first of March

—

for postponement 43—against it 42.

The Senate were engage d to-day onth bill to susped law process for sixty

diys, and I bestowed my attention uponthat body. The bill passed the SenateIS to 16. .nd only awaits the signatureof the acting Governor to become a law.T is will be done this evening or to-

morrow.I enclose you the journal, with an

epitome of the debates. I fear it will betoo lengthy for publication in the nextGazette— il you have room I hope yonwi aive it a place. Messrs. Bledsoeand Barry were the champions of the

bill. Too much cannot be said of thefeeling eloquence they displayed. TheSenator from Fayette differed in opin-ion from the representatives. If he er-

red, he done so on the side of humanity.H manifested much interest ft* thepeople of the state, as well as those of his

coil ity, to whom he publicly expresseda degree of gratitude and warmth offriendship, which would have only pro-ceeded from a heart filled with virtue,

and, what we call, the “ milk of human

'

kindness. There is a part of the com-munity upon whom, / drefily regret to

to sen/ it, t "is law win operate but tooseriously. DiJ I say one description ?

I beg pardon, and acknowledge a mis-:take. There are two set s—eomposedjol miserable animals I mean the narrow-

i

hearted, se f-sofficierit, ignomineons cre-ditors, who, for the sake of 29 shillings

and 11 pence, 3 farthings, would barter!

away the person of the saviour of man-kind, were that adored being withinthen reach—and the /iftty, ignorant andso -/ess executioners of the often illegal

process of mighty magistrates.

Frankfort, December 13.

bill has been introduced into the

>' epresentatives this day, by Mr.j

Madison) to regulate dama-

‘S of exchange. The essen-

.'! pr isions are, that no more dama-]

g ra protested bill or bills of ex-]

change shall be recovered by the bold-

er or holders, drawn at 60 days, than 1

per cent—if drawn at 90 days, Ij per

cent— if drawn at 120 days, 2 percent—and in no case where a bill is drawn at a

longer period, shall more than t-.uo tier

cent be forfeited by the drawer or draw-

ers, or endorser or endorsers. The se-

cond section provides, that if any person

or persons, bodies corporate or politic,

shall purchase any bill or bills of ex-

change at a greater discount, the person

or persons so offending shall forfeit ten

per cent on the whole amount, recove-

rable in any court of record—not only by

the diawer or drawers, or endorser or

endorsers—but by any person or persons

Whatever, who may prosecute a suit.

It is fervently hoped the bill will pass

Without any serious opposition, Whata happy effect will it have upon the ex

porting part of the community ! And howseriously will it break in upon the shav-

ETTRACT TO THE EDI Tons, DATED

Frankfurt, December 11, 1819.

I have often heard tog-rolling amongthe members of legislative bodies, c^t

of doors. In this stale, the celebrated

Green River Bill, before that quarter o'

the country became so strong, furnished

the widest field for the exercise of tin

powers of our legislators in this kindol

business. Rut previously to the ap-

proach of the senatorial election whir.:

took place yesterday, canvassing was

practised in the highest style of Kcntuc

ky perfection. Very great exertions

were made by the federalists and others

to shut out Col. Johnson. This cours

demanded the efforts of his friends t

counteract any unfavorable or unfair im

pressions made against him. The anti-

democratic party could not have started

a more potent man than Gen. Adair. Old

objections to him have been pretty muchveiled by his recent military services.

—

These services have been of no inconsi-

derable character—and I am clearly pre-

pared to think that, on account of the

very formidable opposition, the triumph

of Col. Johnson is of a splendid nature ;

and holds up to the world the happy

idea that Kentucky has not yet lost her

republican feelings.

EXTRACT TO TUE EDITORS, BATED

Frankfort, Dec. 14.

Since the election of Senator was ef-

fected, the topics of conversation have

been more diversified. There seems to

be much difficulty in fixing on the plan

of relief. At present I think the prop-

erty law is the most plausible and popu-

lar. Every thing that can be done, will

lake place against banks and banking.

The next Governor is frequently talk-

ed of. The democratic party have their

eyes turned towards Mr. Clay. Theyhope to be enabled to prevail on that dis-

tinguished patriot to tender his services

to the state. Should success attend their

efforts, it is presumed, that no person

will have the temerity to oppose him. 1

know of none : although many of the

trimmers andfederalists calculate on Mr.

Logan, one of the present Senators. I

should be mortified if a man already elc

vated to an office, beyond which his ex

pectations never could have run, would

suffer himself to be dragged before tin-

public as a candidate for tne guberna-

torial chair, by those who merely wished

to subserve the purposes of faction.

By the bye, speaking of Mr. Clay— it

is certainly to be depricated, that someof those who profess to he his friends,

and many who arc his avowed enemies,endeavor to array him in com/i(eti and en

tire hostility to the present administra-

tion of the general government. ’Tis

folly in the extreme, to do this; and for

any portion of the his political friends

to give public sanction to it, is eminent-ly calculated to inflict a permanent inju-

ry on Mr. Clay. lie is not an enemy to

the prominent acts of the administration.

He has differed, on several subjects of

vital importance, from Mr. Monroe. But

because there exists an honest diflerence

of opinion, is it necessary or polite to en-

deavor to identify him as a confirmed and

inveterate adversary of ilia president ?

His friends should pause and think, be-

fore they progress in this business. Thepublic mind is not prepared, in any sec-

tion of the union, to applaud any poli-

tician who enters into a systematic op-

posi ion to the administration. Censureits errors with freedom—and praise its

virtues with magnanimity.

Of the future Lieutenant Governor,so much is not said. Several persons

are spoken of. Col. A. Butler, if he

could be induced out, stands very high,

lie is a thorough-going, u/i-to-the-hub,

intelligent democratic republican.

—

Perhaps he may be got to consent be-

fore the winter is over. M r. Black- I

iiurn, speaker of the Senate, has beeninted at. But his vote last Friday, in the

senatorial election, will operate against

:>is pretensions.

Mr. Underwood differed from h ththe gentlemen, and wished a modifica-tion of the law so as to he adapted toe-very c *iss of citizens. He explained hisviews in a short speech—one of whichwas to incorporate a provision authoriz-ing juries to find persons who have beenengaged in duelling guilty ofmisdemean-ors. The bill was ordered to a secondreading.

Mr. Gerard, from the committee towhom had been recommitted the billr o icc ning public roads, reported thosame with amendments, which were a-greed to by the house—and the bill waaordered to be engrossed and read athird time.

Mr. Worthington obtained leave toiri.ig in a bill to bind the private p -aeny of the stockholders of the Bank ofKentucky, and its soveral branches, as

Mr. Booker obtained leave to bring in

• bill to regulate and provide lor the sa-

laries of the officers of the Bank of Ken-tucky and its branches.

The bil 1 to suspend law process was• taken up and read a second lime.

Mr. Woodson moved its commitment,to a committee of the whole, for a future

day.

Mr. B. Harrison opposed the motionin an argumentative speech, lie urgedthe necessity of taking up the bill at

once. The distresses of the communitywere already great, and they would be

i icreased during the deliberations of this

house, because it was anticipated the le-

gislature would interpose. The present

bill he hoped would pass. It goes to

•uspend law process for 60 days.

Mr. Woodson replied, and declared

he did not believe the distresses of the

country so great as had been represent-

ed. A measure of this kind should only

be resorted to in times of the most ex-

treme calamity. The cries of distress

proceeded from the speculator. He hop-

ed the bill would be committed. It mightwant amendments or modifications.

Mr. Chilton opposed the commitment,because, that course would defeat the

•bjccts of the bill.

The motion to commit carried, 41 to

40, upon a division of the question, two4ays having been named.

Mr. B. Harrison ably urged the pro-

priety of making this the day—and it

Was accordingly fixed for to day, whenThe house resolved itself into a com-

mittee of the whole—and the bill was a-

gain taken up in committee—Mr. Tur-ner in the chair.

Mr. Yantis moved to strike out the

first section ot the bill—which was tanta-

mount to a total rejection thereof.

After some considerable debate, in

which messrs. Chilton, J. Emmerson,Lecompte, Ogilsby, and B. Harrison,

took part for the bill—and tnr. Speak-

er and mr. Kincaid took part against it,

mr. Yantis withdrew his motion to strike

out the first section.

Mr. B. Harrison moved to amend the

bill by striking out so much of the fust

section as relates to proceedings underdeeds of trust—motion prevailed.

Mr. Underwood moved to amend the

bill so as to read, that no sales should

take place under any decree of a court

of chancery, instead of sales under mort-gages—which motion was carried.

Mr. Underwood moved to amend the

bill so that the suspension of process

should be at the costs of the defendant.

Motion carried. The bill underwentseveral other amendments, andThe committee rose, reported the a-

mendments to the house, together with

the bill. No final step was taken be-

fore the house adjourned.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14.

The bill, under consideration yester-

day, to suspend law process, was taken

up, andMr. Burr Harrison moved an amend-

mendment as a substitute for the wholebill, containing the same provisions

—

but differently guarded—which was a-

dopted.

,Mr. Kincaid offered an amendment

restraining sales for state, county, and

town revenue and taxes, for the purposeas he declared of making the relief gene-

ral.

Mr. Yantis called for the yeas 8t nays

on Mr. Kincaid’s proposition.

The amendment was opposed bymessrs. Robert Wickliffe, J. Emmersonand Hays. And on the question being

taken by yeas and nays, they were as

follows: yeas 25—nays 57. •

Mr. Underwood moved that the bill

and amendments lie on the table until the.

first of June—rejected, ayes 29—nays

54.

Mr. Howard then offered an amend-ment, so as to prevent the membets of

this house from drawing any thing for

their services until the end of the 60 daysmentioned in the bill—rejected, ayes 34—nays 40.

Mr. Chilton offered an amendment,which the speaker declared out of order.

Mr. W. Smith, offered an amendmentso as to prevent the act from extending

to public officers, attornies at law, E*c.

which upon suggestion of the chair that

the act as it stood, did not extend to them;

was withdrawn.

Mr. Howard offered an amendment,so as to prevent the officers from collect-

ing their fees and commissions until af-

ter the expiration of the act, which haveaccrued to them by virtue of any sus-

pended process. The amendment wascarried,

Mr. Daniel moved to recommit the

bill to a select committee—which mo-tion was lost.

Mr. Hays moved to reconsider the

several votes adopting the three first sec-

tions of the bill as amended, so as to get

in an additional amendment, in order to

reach executions that have or may issue

on judgments or decrees, as well as those

that have ov may issue on replevin bonds—which motion prevailed

; and Mr.Hays offered the amendment to the first

section of the bill, alluded to above

—

and the amendment was adopted.

Mr. Howard moved that the hill lie

on the table for the present, with a view

to have a certain number of copies print-

ed—motion lost.

The question then recurred on adopt-

ing the amended first section—carried

in the affirmative.

Mr. Long offered an amendment,. so

as to let judgements operate as a lien du-

ring the suspension of law process.

Messrs. Chilton, Hays, B. Harrison,

M‘ Afee, and Ogilsby, severally occupi-

ed the floor in opposition to the amend-ment.

Messrs. Long, R. Wickliffe and Dan-iel supported it.

The question on the amendment was

then taken by yeas and nays—mr. Book-er having called for them, and the re-

sult was,ayes25, noes 59. So the amend-ment was lost.

Mr R. Wickliffe offered an amend-ment, so as not to release any securitythe plaintiff in an execution may havehad, before the passage of the act. Car-ried without opposition.

The bill was then ordered to be en-

grossed and read a third time.The joint resolution to appoint a joint

committee to examine the hank of Ken-tucky, with the amendments of the senate, was taken up, and passed as amended by the senate.

Mr. Howard moved an adjournment—negatived. The bill from the senatedivorcing Sally Monroe was taken up,read the first time, and ordered to a se-

cond reading.

The hill from the senate concerningpedlars, was taken up, read the first

time and ordered to a second reading.The orders of the day being dispensed

with for that purpose,The engrossed bill to suspend law

process was taken up, read a third time,and on the question “ Shall the kill pass?”the yeas and nays were called for by mr.^ antis, and there were found to he for

the passage of the bill 54 ; against its

passage 30. So the hill passed the houseof representatives by a majority of 24.

IN SENATE.WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15.

A message was received from thehouse of representatives by mr. M‘Afee,announcing the concurrence of that bodyin the amendments of the senate on theresolution appointing a joint committeeto examine the hank of Kentucky.Mr. Barry presented a petition from

the owners of the Factory near Lexing-ton, praying that the hands employedtherein may be exempted, in time ofpeace, from militia duty and working onroads.

Mr. Barry observed he hoped the se-

nate would consider the object of thememorial as important to the owners,and succinctly stated the reasons.

Mr. Bledsoe was entirely in favor ofthe petiiion, and hoped the same exemp-tion would lie extended to the hands em-ployed in all description of factories in

the state.

The petition was referred to a select

committee, with relief to report by bill

or otherwise.

A message was received from thehouse of repr sentatives, by mr. BurrHarrison, announcing the passage bythat body of the bill to suspend law process.

Mr. Lackey, from the committee to

whom had been recommitted the hill to

declare Licking river navigable fromthe month of Shte to Well’s mill, re-

ported an amendment as a substitute to

the hill, which makes the mouth of Fiat

cr ck the place of beginning instead of

Slate. The hill and amendment werelaid oh the table for the present.

Mr. Ewing, from the select commit-tn e, i eported the bill with an amendment

to limit the jurisdiction ol justices of

t e peace, and to regulate tlieir fees.

—

Til’s hill had been recommitted, and asit originally stood, repealed the law in-

creasing jurisdiction to 850—and thelaw allowing fees to justices for sums un-der 25 kin lings. The amendment re-

ported r stored those Ians—andMr. Ike 's c moved as a substitute to

the amendment of the committee, an a

mendmmt, t c object of which was, to

take away all f es, for any sum, from the

m gisirates. Mr. B. supported the pro-position, and thought the constitution

cl d not contemplate that justices of the

peace should come to the legislature,

loaded with the fees growing out of tlieir

offices.

Mr- sis. Ewing and Wood followed in

opposition successively, and urged that

it would be hard and unjust that that

description of public agent* should per-

form laborious duties, without any re-

ward. The first gentlemen declared henever w \t!d for a hill taking away the

fees of magistrates.

Mr. Harrison was in favor pf the a-

mendment, and adverted to the difficul-

ties of the times. The rendering of pa-

triotic services at such a crisis, was a

sufficient consideration for the exercise

of the functions of justice of the peace,

lie instanced the case of Gen. Washing-ton, who declined receiving any thing

for his brilliant military services duringour revolutionary struggle.

Mr. Pope was opposed to the amend-ment. He took the positions that the con-

stitution was not infracted, when justices;

of the peace received fees and becomemembeis of the legislature—that the of-

fice was highly responsible and trouble-

some, and honorable when filled with im-!

partiality and ability, lie enforced these 1

grounds in an argumentative speech.

Mr. Barry supported the amendmentin an able speech. He glanced at the

:

constitution, and thought that giving!

mng'sirates fees, While they were eligi-

ble to this body, violated at least the spi-

rit of the constitution, if net the letter.

This body of men were becoming a dan-

gerous aristocracy. He alluded to the

depressed and unhappy state of the coun-i

try, and thought this would he one means I

of relief. After taking a comprehen-sive view of the different points that!

presented themselves to his mind, the]

question was taken by ayes and noes:

I

and the amendment was rejected—ayes

15, noes IS.

The biil and amendment of the com-:

inittec was then committed to a commit-

1

tee of the whole, on the state of the com-monwealth.

M\. Crutcher asked leave to bring in

a bill to take the sense of the good peo-

ple of this commonwealth ns to the pro-

]

pricty of calling a convention.

|

.fl/essis. Bledsoe and Barry, who had

I Hitherto uniformly opposed this subject,

were now f ,r giving leave at least. Theygave no pledges ».s to their ultimate vote.

But they thought the time had arrived

w hen new views were developed to the

statesman concerning this government.The que ti n on leave was then taken byyeas and nays, and the result was

—

fo.i

granting leave, 21 ; against it 13.

On motion of mr. F. Jo nsnn, the hill

from the house of repiesentatives to sus-

pend law process foV 60 days, was takenup, and read Lie first time, when the se-

cond reading was dispensed with. Thebill was then committed to a committerof the whole for to day.

The senate then resolved itself into a

committee of the whole, mr. Ewing in

the chair ; and the said bill was called up.

Mr. Speaker moved an amendment to

the first section of the hill, so as to pre-vent the officers of government fromcollecting publi.' revenue, county levy,

or town taxes. He declared he wouldvote J gainst the bill, whether the amend-ment succeeded or not. In supportingthe amendment, he took a full view ofthe merits of the hill, in a lengthy andingenious speech Hr. denied that dis-

tress existed to the extent which hadbeen represented. Tnc description of

people which the proviso is of the bill

intended to relieve could not he saved.

He vzas for letting them los<*, and protect-

ing the honest and industrious portion of

the community. Such ameasuie as wasabout to he adopted, w s unparalled in

time of peace. He declared he Wouldrather surrender every paiti.de of pro-

perty he possessed, than see the hill pass,

which he conceived would prostrate the

honor of his country. The arguments heemployed to enlorce his posiiions werevarious, and happily delivered. He clo-

sed, by wishing if the bill did finally pass-

the amendment would he incorporated.

Mr. Bledsoe followed in on position to

the amendment, which he considered as

intended merely as a clog, he was in favor

ol the bill as it stood. It was not such a

monster as the honorable speaker con-

ceived it to be. He took a luminous andcomprehensive view of the calamities of

the country, and the increased distress

which daily exhibited itself in sales andsacrifices. To this state of things hehimseif had Heen a witness. In the connty which he represented, wealthy andindustrious as it was, he had seen swarmsf constables, with their saddle-hags

filled with executions—and sacrifices of

property for one fifth of its value weredaily making there. The biil underconsideration was a measure tounded onjustice, policy and necessity It was in-

tended to afford a respite from op-

pression until the legislature could fix

upon some permanent plan of relief. It

was the wealthy creditors alone whowere opposed to it. It is unnecessary to

mention, that the various grounds as-

sumed by Mr. B. were elequently en-

forced.

Mr. Speaker replied, in substance as

he had before spoken.Mr. Bledsoe rejoined, prit cipally in

opposition to the proposed amendment.11c did net wish the administration of

th government stopped. lie desired it

to he supported, in order that the legis-

lature might grant further relief.

Mr. Barry followed in favor of the hill

and against the amendment. Hevvisheoto offer a few reasons to the committeefor the co' rse 1 e should pursue, andmentioned that he stood peculiarly situ-

ated on this subject,( ludiitg to a differ-

nre of opinion from the repre sentation

rom Fayette in the other branch of the

legislature.) There- was responsibility

attached to his station, and he was pre-

pared to meet it. He then took an ex-tensive v iew of the distresses of t.:c coun-try, and of the causes which had prodi -

ced them. Very many evidences of

public pecuniary calamity were elo-

quently detailed to the senate. Theworkings and gripin'gs of wealthy credi-

tors, whether banks cr individuals, in

operating ruin upon p rsons unfortu-nately within their power, were happilyenforced. Shall vve then relieve the com-munity from this distress? was a ques-tion which mr. B propounded. lie considcred the present measure, being butshort lived, as the entering wedge to fur-

ther relief. lie wasfearful t! ,\s legis-

lature did not interpose its protecting

arm, the execution of the law would be

resisted by force. He deemed it important

for the present bill to pass, in order to

give time to legislate coolly and dispas-

sionately. It was necessary the measureshould be speedily acted upon, becauseimmense sacrifices were now making in

expectation that some step would he ta-

ken by the legislature. The thanks ol

the poor and distressed debtor would be

gratefully poured into the bosom of the

senate. The frowns of the wealthy credi-

tor are not to be dreaded. It is not a crime

to be in debt. If it were, the creditor

was partierfix crlminih.

He then shewed the power of the

legislature to interfere, and adverted to

precedents. He feared nothing from

the imputed loss of state character, if

our citizens would be protected "from

ruin ; nor did he care for the sneers of

eastern duns. The loss of credit amongthem would he a boon to the western

country, mr. B. then turned to the biil.

lie was aware that it was a delicate sub-

ject, particularly so a’ it related to

himself ; for he differed from the rep-

resentatives of his own county. It mighthe that his constituents were not distress-

ed. He feared it would he found the

contrary was the .case, and he was not

disposed to draw h veil over their- real

situation. In the course lie was nowpursuing lie relied.upon the magnanim-

ity of those to whom he owed alike was

worth whether of wealth or fame. lie

knew they would attribute to him only

honorable motives; and he observed he

had witnessed their liberality and gene-

rosity.

TO ROBER 1* M'AI EL,Representative from Mercer.

Sir

—

It has given great pleasure to manyof tne friends of our democratic institu-

tions, to see you step forward and calklor a real examination of the concerns of]

the hank o’' K. tifu ky, and that youiill not be s uisfe 1, with the mere for-

j

>nal ont3 vv icn have he t o- r t kcruplace. I wish you e- e y success inj

your pursuit; and 1 hope it will redound]> the cr dit ol yours: If, and good ofur country. For it does appear to rnel

1 passing s rar ge,” when the state ownsno less than seven hundred thousanddollars in the stock of that institution,and the legislature virtually compcisthe people to take its paper, and do ev-ery year pass resolutions puffing its

managers; that they should make noreal examination of its actuul condition.Every year too, the legislature go intoan election of a President and six Di-rectors; and yet, strange to tell, withoutbeing informed, how those officers havepreviously discharged the importanttrusts reposed in them! They may all

heretofore have been as honest andchaste as Caesars wife; but the peopleshould he informed how honest andchaste Caesar’s wife is.

There is one reason Why, at first, I,

could have wished that another mem-ber had originated the enquiry, but thereis another reason which gives reply tothe suggestion. You, fortunately foriyourself, have had little to do with

!

banks; and therefore can have little

practical knowledge of their operations:hut this you may acquire with ease;and upon a second reflection, I considerit a very .fdrtunate thing, that a man,who is uncontroled by bank influence,and in the full possession of his inde-;pendcnce, has attempted the enquiry.5ou, who know little of the nature of aprotest, and that it once operated like aPop ’s Bull in the dark ages, and hasnot yet lost it* charm anil its magic, are,I consider the proper person to engagein the pursuit, and nqt one, who is eitheri ,bank pay or oppressed with bunk ac-commodation. To shew you what it

once was, I must tell a short tale. 1

was sortie years ago, in the company ofa man, now in is grave, by virtue ofhank accommodation, who remarked,when several men left our party, “Lookjhow t tic presence of bank directors, urneighbors, A, B and C, put an end tothe free remarks which some wete ma-king. ’

1 is strange, "tis passing s r-nge,that men who had bravely met, and arestill ready to meet the cannon of an en-emy, should he afraid to speak freely,in the- presence of bank directors.”—-,Now, ti such men have acquired this

:

tremendous influence, it is time f r thepeople to become rebels, and determineto he f ee. Submission to them wereno better than submission to kings andnobles; and I feel myself as much pre-pared to resist one set of ty rants as anc-hor.

You, who have not been accustometfto the “ holy of holies,” of banks, theirarcana and secrets, their tell tales, andso forth; may be deceived, by the ap-parently fair reports, which the officers

ol the bank of Kentucky may make to]

your house, ol which of course; youmost be the chairman. If your commit-tee rely on tlieir statement?, all tlieir

1

concerns will appear to be fair and cor-rect ; and just as fair and correct as wasthe accounts ot the State Treasurertwo years ago

; when an high and im-portant officer of that bank must have-known of all the Treasurer's defalcations,

although he did not make payment or a

debt which he owed the Treasurer, tin-'

til the day of its public disclosure to

the legislature.

I say to you then, go cn— let the pubic he informed how much each director!

and officer owe; how much each direc-j

tor and officer of the branches owe. Letthe public know how much moneyhas been loaned to the money bar-bers and importers of British goods, at

the expense of the people; and wheth-

er thefurthers and manufacturers havebeen accommodated in an equal degree1 ed us, how much money is in thevaults ot the bank and its branches, andnow much paper it has in circulation

;

when it has made loans to sustain inde-

pendent hanks, or to create them, andgenerally, every thing respecting itsaf

flit s. Tl.en, you will discharge the du-

ty of a good patriot, and have my res-

pect and thanks.

As I addressed my former letters

through the .Gazette, I now communi-cate tl is through the same channel, not

even knowing that 1 can procure pub-

lication in another; and I am pjeasse

to find that it has dared to set bank pow-er at defiance. S. L.

WESTERN HOTEL,NO. 288, MARKET STREET,

PHILADELPHIA^

Sign of Gen. Washington.

THE subscriber begs leave to inform bis

friends and tho public, that he has takenthat well known establishment in Market st.

next door to the Pittsburgh Mail Stage Oliice,

and lately occupied by Mr. George V'ohe. Tothose who have been accustomed to resort

to this house, it is unnecessary to point out

its superior advantages. For the information

of others, however, he deems it proper to

state that its situation is central, high, healthy

and convenient to business ; an extensive

range of backbuildings, consisting of lodging

rooms, afford a fine view of the city to the

eastward, and admit of a free and uninterrup-

ted circulation of air, and what will give thema decided preference in the opinion of many,is the attachment thereto of balconies, so con-

structed as not only to afford pleasant pro-

menades, but easy means of escape in the e-

vent of necessity from any sudden alarm offire. The great western Stages start everymorning from the door, and on the premisesis one of the best Livery Stables in the city,

conducted by Mr. John Tomlinson, wheretravellers’ horses w ill be faithfully attendedto. With these advantages, and some furtherimprovements now making, added to his ownuriremitted exertions to please, the Subscri-ber confidently hopes for, and very respect-fully solicits, a share public patronage.

30 Dollars Reward.

RAN AWAW from the subscriber, liv ing 5• miles from Lexington, on the Hickman

road, a NEGRO MAN, named BAZIL Abou25 or 26 years old, about 6 feet high and not

very slender made, as black as negroes gen-erally are, of mild Counti nance and speech.It is impossible to say precisely what time heleft Lexington, as he had been hired out some-

time ; but the presumption is, on or about the

29th of October He wore away a dark co-

loured great coat lined with red flannel, anda blue close coat ; but can describe his cloth-

ing no farther, as lie may no doubt change all,

and attempt to pass as a free man. I have-

strong suspicions, that under a pass issued orgiven to a negro man, who obtains bis passesfrom the Clerk of the Fayette County ('ourt,

under a deed of emancipation from JamesM ‘Glean td certain Negroes which have yet anundetermined suit with the heirs of said Mc-Cleary to obtain their freedom, has b4en ob-tained by the said Negro. There are circum-stances to induce a belief that he rode away asorrel mare, the property of Mr. Win. T Bez-ant, and that betook with him a pair of horse-man’s pistols, the property of capt. Jas. Kay.Flic above reward will be paid on bis beingtaken and confined in jail so that I get himif out of the state, if taken within the state, areward of 25 Dollars, anil reasonable chargesin either case if brought home.

W e are thankful to our customers for theliberal support given us in our lineof business;particubulv those who have made us CASHPAYMENTS, or paid off their accounts whenthey became due. But we are compelled tocall upoii those w ho have not been so punc-tual, ami who have accounts of long standing,to pay them oil" immediately, or close them bygiving, their .Votes. Groceries cannot be pur-chased w ithout CASH, but if they could, w efind from experience, that it is better to paycash for them, as we are thereby enabled notonly to purchase at a cheaper rate but to sellon better terms to our customers. We arctherefore under the necessity of declining to1'ivc credit from this date, which, according toDr. Franklin’s maxim, w ill promote the inter-est of the purchaser as well as our own.
