ment, would, he trusted, never be cOuntenan- in any shape, or at any time, by this House and, even were such a subjec proper for cOn- sideration, it could receive it as wei! from the Committee of Ways and Means, as from a Select Committee.
 Mir. HO,cdrd explained. His remark was, that one object of National Bank was to preserve the public wealth, and another the transfer of it's funds; and he had OnIy Observ- ed. in regard to the latter object, that he was desirous some friend of the mode which had been suggested, to separate the public funds from those belonging to individuals, in the form to which he had alluded, should be placed on the committee, to present a plan connected with it, and its details but he had not said he was of opinion that such plan was either proper OF practicable.
 Mr. Huntington resumed. He said he he- lieved he had not misunderstood the member from Maryland. His remarks were based on what he Mr. H. understood the honorable
 ID ember to have stated as the object he had in view. and what he now repeats to be his
 object, which is to have this petition referred
 to select committee, that some friend of a
 proposition once, and but once, recommended.
 to create species of National Bank at
 Washington, might have place on that com mittee, and thus be enabled to furnish the House with the details of plan to promote such an object. MT. H. said, he would only add, to what he had already said on this point, that hs believed the Speaker would he oblig. ed to go out of the House to select friend to such a proposition. He did not think there was a member on the floor who would avow himself to be it's friend. Mir. Fl. said he would not repeat what had been said in fa- vor ofrefepring this memorial to the Commit tee of Ways and Means. He would suggest, as an additional reason for such reference, that this subject had already been referred to that Committee. That part of the Message ot the President. transmitted at the opening ofthe session. which relates to the Bank of the United States, after debate, and on much deiIberation, had been referred to that Com mlttee. So also had the Report of the Sec retary or the Treasury embracing the same subject. In that Report, propnssiOn to au- thorlse sale ofthe shares in the Bank owned by the United States, and now yielding an in- terest of per cent. is recommended, to ena- ble the government to pay, among other debts, one bearing an interest of per cent. only, and thus to present the great ''moral spectacle" of thu reimbursement of the pub lie debt, before the 4th of March, l853!! If such recommendation was to receive the action of the House, it was certainly proper that # should be we'll considered, with refer ence to all its important bearings on the in- terests of the country; and as the Committee of Ways and Means. had been charged with the duty of examining into the propriety of lhis suggestion ofthe Secretary, it was obvi- nusiy proper that to them should be cOnlided ! the duty of examining into the merits of the | memorial to renew the charter of the Bank, 1 With which such recommendation from the Treasury was most intimately connected.-l W'll the House refer to one Committee every l matter connected with the renewal of the | smarter of the Bank, proceeding from the Ex- | ecutlve and the Head of a Department, and | to another Committee the application for its renewal! In what situation will such course | of proceeding place us? MT. H. said he need not enlarge on this point; nor would he 30 into the merits of this application. This is ,. not me tune for such discussion, nor would l 't De Tn order. MT. H. in conclusion said, that ne hoped that, inasmuch as tho general sub. |ect of the Bank of the United States had al- ready been referred to the Commit,se of ways and Means-as that Committee were lu'ly competent to examine it, and would do 50. It required by the House-as it was the | most appropriate committee to make such as there appeared to him 10 oe no sufficient reason why it should go to a setect committee, he hoped the motion to reIer t 10 the Committes of Ways and Means l would prevail.
