such a suggestion could be nude. 1t
was clearly the duty Of cong gress, as ear

! into the state Of the Treasury, and, IN
/ this case, to see if the transfers had
: been made in conformity with the Provi-
! sions of law, to other banks than that ot
the United States; to probe that matter
thoroughly, and understand how, Why,
and Oh what authority it had been done .
The reasons were only now given on the
j authority Of the editor Of u newspaper
: He had said before, that it was his OBJ
ect to get at the paper; and so tar rom
intending any impu'ation on the chlei
magistrate, it was out of respect to him
that he had made the motion, not desir-
ing that, in an extraordinary proceeding
, like this, the facts should be taken on i'll
sufficient authority. His object being
merely to obtain the paper, he would not
object to the modification.
:. Mr.. Webster disclai,ned any inten-
ton to impute premature action to the
, gentleman t,qm Kentucky.
The amendment was then Bodihed
according to the suggestion OF Mr."ebs-
tei.
- The debate was further briefly con
tinued by messrs Bibb, Calhoun, For
sy,h, Clay, and Kane; when the ques-
| ton was taken on agreeing to the reso-
luton, and decided as follows:

h The House went into Committee OF the
' Whole, Mr.. John Q. Adams in the
n chair; when Mr.. Polk offered the custo-
y m;ry resolutions, referring the various
J. pats of the message to appropriate com
J. miaces. They were referred accord
IS inely, excepting the subject of "amend'

J. his object. His purpose was to AVOID
d discussion on preliminary question
and the motion to refer the clause III tn
to message, implies an admission OF the au
en- thority of the President to remove tn
ld deposites, whereas it was well Know
t. that he had no such power.

"a "a discussion alluded to should necessar''
arise upon the usual motion for the reie
"a ence of the several parts oi 'he '''ess"e
a. to the usual committees.
nt Mr.. McDuifie said it was evident th'
ia the discussion of this topic must no
~ take place. But as the House, at tn
nj hour, was not prepared for it, he woul
a move that the committee rise.
