IN SENATE, Wednesday, Jan. 29ih-
Mr.: Frelinghuysen presented further
memorial from citizens Of Newark, NJ.
on the subject Of the removal of the de-
posites from the Bank of the u. States,
and praying for their restoration; which
was referred to the Committee on FL
nance.
! MIR. wilkins presented petition pray
ing for abolition of Slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which was referred 10
the Committee on the District Of CO.
lumbia.
Mr.. w. said he also held in his hand
a petition which touched on the great
subject now agitating Congress and the
whole nation. The petition was signed
by his own neighbors and immediate
constituents. They ascrbed the distress
prevailing in the Western country, to
considerable extent, to the removal of
the depostes. lie did not know that
the petition spoke actually that distress
now prevailed in the Western country,
but it rather referred to the alarm and
cons formation that had arisen, and point
ed to the distress which would inevitably
hereafter take place, owing to the reno
val of the deposites. 1t referred partic-
ularly to the breaking up entirely of the
internal Western exchanges, and attrib-
utcd the cause particularly to the inter-
ruption Of the commercial business OF
that country, and of the entire Western
waters, to the removal Of the deposites.
Notwithstanding the declarations o!
that meeting, and Notwithstanding the
facts alleged in the petition, he did not
acquiesce in the opinion, that distress
did exist in the Western part ofthe coun-
try to which he now particularly refer
red. lie admitted that the transactions
Of the internal commerce of the country,
and that which prevailed to vast ex-
tent on the Western waters, had been
interrupted, and our merchants exposed
to very inconsdernble Inconvenience,
by measure adopted by the Bank of
the United States, in consequence ofthe
removal of the deposites. But his con-
stituents were entirely mistaken when
they ascribcd the interruptions and in
convenience now attending the internal
exchanges of the country, to TIE remo-
val ofthe deposites.
He concluded with moving that the
memorial be read, and printed, and re-
ferred to the Committee on Finance.
The memorial having been read
Mr.. Webster said, that he was not in
his place when the honorable gentleman
began his remarks on presenting this me-
mortal. He came to his seat only in
sc ason to hear the gentleman say that
there was no distress; and to hear, of
course, his subsequent remarks.--l
These remarks, Mr.. Webster thought,
deserved some notice. Here is me
moIiaI, averring the existence at Pitts
burg, of a very severe degree of pecu-
mary distress; it is admitie to be signed
by very respectable persons, and its list
OF signers is certainly long one.
All these persons declare under their
names and on their veracity, that much
distress does exist. The Hon. Senator
declares that no distress exists.
Now, sir, when the patient declares
that he feels not only pain but agony,
and the Doctor says he is perfectly wei,
and that it is not possible he should feel
any pain at all-one OF two things must
be true, either the patient must be in
sane, or the practitioner not skillul.
This point ought to be mined
Are the statements Of these gentlemen
ofcredit, or are they true ! l
propose to say lew words, sir, on this
subject; but as | propose to occupy
few moments this morning, with another
subject, and as it is not material whether
this memorial be referred this morning,
| will propose that it lie on the table and
be printed, and will call it up whenever
here shall seem to be fit opportunity.
