We repeat that persons and personal elevation must be lost sight of and the true interests of the country kept io view It is quite mortifying to every feeling of patriotism to witness the spirit of man worship now preva lent in the land Will not the Madisonian and other leading Whig papers cease their injudicious attacks upon men and try to heal up the breaches already made?

Is the usury law a bill ol attainder an expost lacto law or a law impairing the obli gation of coiitiacts It is cjitaiidy neither of the two former and how does it operate as the latter? Were not all existing contracts ma le under a full knowledge of the pro visions of the law and in special reference to it It cannot possibly impair tile obligation of any contract made subsequent to

very question we have been discussing d'he obligaiion of contracts may be impaired bv the action of retrospective laws but 1 can not clearly see in what manner a contract may bo impaired by the

bl the subject inasmuch as it was constituted for the purpose of ta king charge of the interests to be most deeply affected by the adjustment of the Tariff This was the ground taken to day by Mr

repeal or modification 1 am prepared to admit that the practical rea soning of each of these writers looks fair ami may be based on sound propositions But is it conclusive I have myself in re flecting on this subject been frequently led i to adopt the identical views presented in their respective articles and they have even produced temporaiy convictions on my miud of the rectitude of the very position conten ded for in those articles when 1 turn to the other side of the question to find whether there are any good reasons why this antique law sho i Id not be stricken from our statute books I am met at the vt ry threshold of iny inquiry with this knotty problem Is money a commodity that it may be traded in like goods?" Every attempt at a solution of this question has resulted' in establishing the negative to my perfect satisfaction Of course until the affirmative of this first pioposi tion be proved an estoppel is placed upon the whole argument or if money be not an article of trade either in its nature origin or uses but on the contrary a thing by which trade itself is to be regulated then it is idle to talk about it in that light as all have done who have written against the Usury Law I will remark here that my feelings and in stincts are decidedly in unison with those of a armer" on this subject and but for the difficulty 1 have suggesed I would readilysecond his efforts with those of Aristides and Mercator" to bring aboiit a inodifica tion of the law in question My former ar tide was not designed to inflict censure on the conduct of those who lend money above 8 per cent as a seems to suppose but simply to propose to Anstides the dis cussion of a question the affirmative of which he had evidently taken for granted in the aiticles written by him for the Argus rom the ability and good sense displayed in those articles it struck me that their author bad probably investigated the subject as a practi cal philosopher and would of course be able to furnish me with a satisfactory solution of the difficulty in which I was myself entangled Whenever he does so 1 shall fie happy to acknowledge' myself indebted to him and will forthwith subscribe to the correctness of all he has said But to ri turn to my friend the armer cinia editor says Opus and usiis when signifying need require the

The Seriate has been occu Ipied to day in discussing the provisions of a pill received from the House of llepresenta Itives making appropriaiion in part for the Ilvil Department of the Government for the year 1812 The bill was finally referred to ibje Committee on inance Mr Preston submitted a resolution which wins adopted requiring the Secretary ol the Treasury to communicate to the Senate the Plan of inance recommended by the Pies ident The first regular debate of the session took place in the House to day It originated from a motion of Mr illmore to refer the several parts of the message to the different committees an among other portions that which related to the '1 to the Committee on Manufactures Mr Atherton moved to amend the motion by striking out the word and inserting Ways and The amend ment was strongly resisted by the 1 ariffites Briggs illmore and oih rs and as strongly suported by Messrs 7' oster Meri wether and Jise The ground taken in theJbato by the tariff meu was that a tariff Im protection was contemplated by the message and henco the subject should go to the Com mittee on Manufactures on the other hand it was denied that the message contemplated any such thing as protection but only an adequate revenue for the support of Govern ment and therefore the wh de subject nop erly belonged to the Committee of Ways and 'Means Mr oster observed that he had turned to the rules of the House to ascertain what were the appropriate ditties ol the Committee on Manufactures and all that he could find was that among the standing committees there was one of that name No duties were assigned to them by lhe rules and he lor one was prepared to watch what was assigned to them bv the House In the Constitutionof the United States be found no power given to Congress on the subject of manulact tiresnd be could not therefore see the authority for constituting a standing committee to take charge of them Mr oster read from the Constitution the list of lowers given to Con gress and said that there was not one word on the subject of manufactures in it He 'made ibis a serious question He wanted to authority there was for creating this committee The Southern members must havo slept on their posts when they first permitted its entrance into this House They foresaw not the dangers enclosed in that wooden horse or they never would have permitted it to come within these walls When the celebrated tariff act was passed which shook this Union to its centre a pa triot and statesman now no more whose voice had so often resounded in that hall he alluded to the lamented Warren avis of South to put the question to the test and to make the act appear what it Yvasintended to be moved that its title should read act for the protection of domestic The friends of the measure had the power to do it if they pleased but they weie afraid of the Supreme Court and refused to give the act that title I bey were afraid that the Supreme Court would decide that they had not the power to protect man ufactures Mr Meriwether also spoke to the same effect The Commiitee on Manufactuies he said looked alone to the manufacturing interest but the Committee of Ways and Means bad power to look over the whole country 'and to inquire into general subjects He teferred to the remarks that had been made by Mr oster as to the constitution ahty of the Committee on Manufactures This had1 been spoken Jiglnly of but he would thank gentlemen to put their finger on the clause of theConstitutioo which au thorised the appointment of this committee He would ask the gentleman who introduced the resolution what justice there was iu com mitting this whole question to the charge of a committee who had supervision of one in fetest alone? He was in doubt as to what the President did mean the part of the of 3 wish House to adopt a tariff of protection but as the object is simply to supply revenue to meet the wants of the government the refer ence ought of course to be made to the com mittee of Ways and Means whose duty it is to do that very thing The debate wid be continued tomorrow and perhaps lor several days to come before the question is taken as then! seems to be much anxiety on ilie put of a great many members to speak upon the subject In the Senate to day a grave subject was presented by Mr Banow of Louisiana in the shape of a memorial from an Insurance Compmy in New Orleans ptaying indemnity for loss by insurance on tliiriy eiglit slaves shipped from Richmond to Louisiana on board of the Heimosa The vessel it seems was wrecked and was boarded by a British officer who took the slaves away and carried them to Nassau and liberated them against the protestations of the Captain where the owner was compelled to abandon them Mr Calhoun seconded the motion to refer the memorial to the Committee on oreign Re lations He denounced the principles main tained and acted on by Great Britain and ul 1 hided to the recent case of the Cieule as the most glaring and dangerous innovation on national rights and national honor ever claim ed by one independent power of another The memorial was finally referred and or dered to lie printed The Secretary of the Tieasury sent for ward his fiscal report yesterday evening en closing his plan of the Exchequer and it was published in the Madisonian this morning It is now look for undergo adopted will ii ii Io iibtetl carry it through Au extensive robbery was perpetrated in the Patent Office last Monday about The entry was effected by means of false keys and a vase foiced open fiom which were abstracted an elegant gold stiufl box set with diamonds ptesented by the Emperor Alexander to Consul Morris a pearl neck lace containing 148 pearls presented by the Imaum of Muscat to President Vau Buren and also a gold scabbard studded with dia monds presented by one of the South Amer icati governments to Commodore Biddle A reward ol $1000 is offered lor the airesl of the robb Appe aimers seem to indicate that the ses sion is to be a much more pleasant one than was anticipated at the commencement At least one hundred members hate biought their wives and other female telatives to spend the winter On account of the in creased number of ladies the Metiopolis ayer appearance than usual 1 NOTIC TIN HE Trusses the raskliu Land and Apalaclii cola Lot Company hve thougn: proper to call a meeting of the said Company on halur day the 8th day of JvMfary next it is hoped that all parties desirous oUpWitei tmg their interest will at tend as the buaiuei of td Company requires tmuie XUiiSeS MCDOUGALD Trustees 2t If' 1 law Keys 200 WHN HOWELL Dec 29 Below tle Market BGOlvoCND piM ket haok containing a Btuwbec of vanoui kind Wai Mr Henry iteut? five or iJ letdiug to Jria owner on hifl idea itn itfvtnr it and Dauria fjr tins advCTHtmeit Georg a a io coun ty wuerea ses Hollis applies tu me for letter of admilHH istration on lhe estate ofAVilliam Garrett late of BaijaH county deceaaeJ 'v These are therefore toAiie and admonish all aid singular the kindred and creditor of id deceased be and appear at my office within the time prescribed by law io show cause if gny they have why si id lat 3 ters should not be granted Given under my hand It office December 13 1841 BCUTON DOWnrq December 52 5: Will be sold on the first Wednesday in ebruary next at the plantation belonging to the'fcslfie of Mason M'Ciendon de ceased in Talbot county ail lhe perishable property of said estate consisting oftlantalion tools stock ot cattle sheep mules apd hoi sea palao a road wagon and harness and aeet of blacksmith's tools de Terms made kpown on the dav of sale CLENDON Talbpt eounty Ga Nov 22 52 (N EORGIA?
