SENATE.
Mr.. Hayne, Of South Carolina, pursu-
ant to the notice he gave on Monday, ask

uniform system Of Bankruptcy throughout

again bringing it before the Senate. That
pledge he now redeemed. The bill which
he now presented, was the same which was
under consideration last session. A num-

thought it best to introduce the same Bill,
in order that the Senate might first consid-

bill had a right to demand for it an carly

spirit had been manifested in favour of the
measure, and the commercial feeling and
interest Of the country was, every where

bankruptcy would be acceptable to the
people at large, as measure conducive to
the best interests, and promotion of the
character of our country.
Leave being granted to Introduce the
