mcns Of the United States Bark. l, led TO an ami.
mated and in some degree personal debate Mr..
Cambreleng led the way in the renewed assault
upon this institution and Mr.. WieklifIe, OF Ken
lucky, wss its principal champion. Other motions
to PRINT certain documents in relation 10 the Bank
concerns were connected with the proposition for
enquiry, and they were all ultimately agreed to-
II Is known that one of the principal weapons, in
the hands Of the enemies Of the Bank, which they
have used with great skill and success, is the
charge ofbribery which they have brought agans,
all gifts principal advocates, particularly il they
were Editors Of newspapers or msmbers Of Con-
gress, Among the persons thus implicated, is
Mr.. Wiskl'fe, who was formerly a prominent
member of the Jackson party, but was officially ex-
PEELED because he had the independence to differ
with the President to the expcdeocy of re char
tering the Bank. As soon rs he took this stand
the Globe, which Mr.. Wickiffc styles in his speech
" that great national founary If Islander and ca
iumay," charged that Mr. w. had been "appoln-
tai by the bank agcn, for collecting in Kentucky,
with compensation which will amount to ut lcnsl
ten thousand dollars year." The object Of this
sanderous paragraph Was twof old--frst TO i'm
pair Mr.. Wiekl,he's credit with the people, by
inslnuatins that his advocacy Of the Bank was i'm
putahe 10 the direct interest he had in its cxis-
tencc and secondly, to excite odium against the
Bank by charging it with brbng and buying up
the men Of influence throughout the country Mr.
Wcklfle, therefore, took occasion to say, in his
place, that the assertion Of the Globe " il utterly
false, in every part md particular. never had The
continued any contract with TIE Bank, in am
fern: never had mor,entr nversatior with its
directors, o. its officers, its agents. the sub
iect of collecting the Bank debts" To Mr. Cam
breleng, who had " endorsed this SANDER" by al
juding 10 it IN debate, Mr. Wickiflc said, al am
not myselfin the habit Of bringing forward news
paper slang against gentlemen in this House |
made no imputation against that gentleman on
.fc subject Of stock jobbin., though The materials
are before me. leave that subject between him
self and his constituent, who has made the uccusn-
,on"-reierrlng to the case of swindng at New
York, an account Of which is given in another arli-
clio in this paper. Mr.. Cambreleng made brief
reply TO Mr. WicltIife, but was silent Ms to Inc
fraud imputed ,ohim; whether because of conscious
source from which the charge emann,ed, We pro-
tend not TO judge.-In the course oftIe same do
bate, Mr.. Daniel OF Kentucky, Ialso formerly a
iacksonian after some severe remarks 90 those
portions of HE Presidents Message and the Re-
pert of the Secretary Of the Treasury, WHICH init
mate doubts OF the solvcncy of the Bank exptcsscd
his belief that there was infinitely more danger
of the United States becoming insovcn,, thnn of
the Bank. The United States, he continued
meye nsolvon,. On the LIST Of January next they
would be 500 900 worse than nothing and this
with an income OF 81 millions and large surplus
N the treasury. He thought it would be much
more appropriate TO appoint Commiaee Of Re
t,enehment, TO end out where all this money had
gone to. so far from Che Bunk being insolvoui, it
had always beer Mr. D's greatest apprehension
that it would be too sol ycnt-hai it would swallow
rcvery thing else, &c. &c
A debate said 10 be of an interesting and auirnn-
leu character, lput winch 10 uot yct 'tpprcu III me

made to the recent Proclamation of the President,
and TO the doctrines and principles developed il,
