 IAe Aatso,sal Cesreiseg.-yYe had the pleasure, a few days ago, to present to onrreaders luminous report of the Sen- ate Committee of Finance, upon the subject of the National Currency, ae- eording throughoHt with the views which we have heretofore had occasion to take ofthat subject. We have now the high qualification of being able to state thata report was yesterday made in the House of Representatives, from the eloquent and able pen ef M. M lluf- fie, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, which does honor to his taI- ehts, and to theindependence and indus try of himself and the Committee. The report is of such length, that We do not know when we shall be able to publish 1t, but of such interest, that no reader. when he comes to pernse it, would wish 1t shorter.
 The committee have takeneyerypoint of the question, eVading nothing, shrink ing from no difficulty, avoiding no re- sponsibility. The report examines the question concerning the National Bank, represented by the Presidents Message, under three great general heads or di- visions, viz: First, the power ofthe Gov ernment to establish Bank as an agent for the correct and proper administra. tion ofthe financial concerns ofthe coun- try. Secondly, the expediency of es- tablishing, with that view, such an insti- tutioh as the present Bank of the U. $: and, thirdly, the expediency of substi- tuting, for such Bank, National Gov ernment Bank, as proposed in the Mes sage of the President.
 Each of these points is very fully and conciusiyeIy argued in the report. The decision of the Committee is unequivo- cally in the affirmative, on the two first of these questions, and as decidedly in negative on the third. The various ob- jeetioos to a Government Bank, as fi- nancial measure, are perspicuously sta ted, and the climax of the objections to 1t is presented in terms which we quote from the report, that they may speak for themselves, as follows:
 < But the inevitable tendency of Government Bank to involve the coml- try in paper system, is not, in the opin- ion ofthe Committee the greatest objec- ton. The powerful-and, in the hands of a bad administration, the irresistible and corrupting influence which 1t would ex- ercise over the elections of the country. constitutes an objection more imposing than all the others united. No matter by what means an administration might get into power, with such tremendous engine in their hands 1t would be almost co displace them acithona some | miraculous arate,position of Propidenee.n
