Mr. Cowperthwaite, the Cashier has resigued ; the President has relinquished two thousand dollars of his salary, and the number of officers and clerks is tobe reduced one-half. This looks like abandoning the expanding policy, and gives us reason to hope, that whatever the condition of the Bank may be, the best will now be made of it.

Endless'expansion is not (he way topay debts, neither do high salaries, and a great display of establishment constitute'* .safe basis of credit. The old fashioned notion Qf keeping your expenses within yo\ir income, is worth all your new schemes of financiering.At one time, Mr. Biddle’s false principles of finance raised hitn high it popular favor. His doctrines proclaimed peace to daring speculators, and temporary etse to all. But the end has been the overthrow of our institutions, and the destruction of almost a whole race of merchants. We have no doubt, takeit all in all, Mr. Biddle has caused the ruinof more business men in ths country, than have been overthrown by all other causes united, for the last twenty years. Yet such was the trust reposed in hfs skill, that men seemed rather to prefer to bekilled by him than to be saved by the old principles of financial practice. He was a tremeidous quack.

McDowell, Benjamin FitzRandolph, Esq., wa3 called to the chair, aud Colin Monroe and James Robeson appointed Secretaries. The object of the meeting was briefly and pertinently explained by the chairman. On motion a committee of six were appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the seuse of the meeting, viz :Dr. H. H. Robinson, Duncan Shaw,Dr. Alex. McDowell, Durham Lewis, * John McKethan, Esq., Josiafa Russ,Who, after retiring for a short time, reported the following preamble and resolutions:Whereas the extroardinary zeal ot the opponents of the present administration of our general government, as manifested in their unprecedented political manoeuvres-**iu their appeals to the sympathies of the laboring class for “the poor man’s caudidate,” and to the cupidity of the vicious and indolent, by the temptation of “ hard cider ” and strongdrink—in their ridiculous exhibitions of “ log cabins ” in their meetiugs and conventions, and their attempts to enlist recruits thro’.the agency of pompous parades, and the songsatid revelry of bacchaualian riot—iu the coalition of the southern slaveholder .with the northern abolitiouist, and the adopted sentiment, thatthe end to be accomplished justifies the resortto any means, warrant us iu the belief that their success will be co-extensive with their ability to familiarize the minds of our free citizens with corruption and sensuality, and strongly admouish that eternal Vigilance alonecan resist the assaults of unprincipled factiousupon our republican institutions. Be it thereforeThe Independent Tre»sury.The bill for the establishment of the Independent Treasury, passed the House of Representatives, on the evening of the 30th ult., by a vote of 1*24 yeas to 1L7 nays—17 majority. T he present Congress was elected with the Independent Treasury as a test question; and thus has the Voice of the People been expressed, upon a “sober and second thought.” The passage of this act, pronoun cctf by Mr. Calhoun, as a “great measure of deliverance and liberty,” is the triumph ot the principles of the Constitution. 4 he following are the proceedings on the first passage of the bill:INDEPENDENT TREASURY BILL.The Chair announced that the business specially in order was the Independent Treasury bill.Mr. Vanderpocl obtained the floor, andmoved the previous question.Mr. R. Garland inquired of the Chair whether the bill was reported from the Committee ol the W hole House on the state of theUnion.The Chair replied that it was not.Mr. Johnson of Maryland said he had giv-« ^en notice of his intention to move a substitute lor the bill, but no opportunity had been afforded him for that pm pose. He ho|»ed the gentleman fiorn New York [Mr. Vauder-poel] would withdraw the motion to enable him to offer the substitute, and let the House take a vote upon it. He did not wish to present it to embarrass the action or wastethe time of the House, but would be willing, it it was admitted, to have the vote taken without debate.Mr. Vanderpoel said a sense of duty would not permit him to withdraw the motion.Mr. Hoffman said the bill had not, according to the rules, been reported from the Committee on the state of the Union; and he inquired of the Chair whether the resolutiou discharging the committee could override therules.The Chair replied that the resolution was adopted by two-thirds, and therefore did override the rules; a vote of two-thirds would suspend all the rules.The motion for the previous question was then seconded; and the question then being ‘‘shall the bill be ordered to be engrossed for a third reading?”Mr. R. Garland demanded the yeas andnays; which having been ordered, were—yeas 123, nays 10JMr. Chinn said he had voted in the affirmative under the impression that it was the generaUUisposition of his friends to bring the thing y a close as soon as possible; but since he learned that was not the case, he wished to change his vote to the negative;which was accordingly done.The question now being “shall the bill be read a third time?”Mr. Griffith ot South Carolina called forthe yeas and nays; which having been ordered, were—yeas 125, nays 105.So the hill having been ordered to a third reading, it was read the third time, and the question being Mahan the bill pass?”'Mr. Graham obtained the floor, and spoke,without concluding, in opposition to its pas-“ge* until* half past two o’clock, at which time the House took its usual recess.At the evening session, on the question “shall the main question now be put,” it wasdecided yeas 123, nays 90.So the main question having been orderedto be put, and the question now being “Shall the bill pass?”Mr. Dromgonle demanded the yeas andnays, which having been ordered, were— yeas 124, nays 107, as follows:—Messrs.
