 The House having resumed the eonsid-
 eratIon of the motion 10 refer the Secretary
 ot the Ireasuryas Report on the Deposites
 to the Gemmiftee of Ways and Means: and the question being upon the nlofion ol
 Mir. Nj 'Duflie to add to the motion for re terence the following instruction. to the said committee.
 . ''Ith instructions to report a joint reso- iution' providing that the public revenue hereafter collected, shall be deposited in
 the Bank of the United States, in conipli-
 anee with the public faith, pledged by the
 charter of the said Bank.''
 in support Of his motion. He began by
 sayng that although he believed that the
 Bank of the United States would be eDti- tied to indemnification for the removal of the deposftes, hereaftre, and that that d,,es- ton was of less consequence 50 far as the
 3ank or it's stockholders were concerned. ne was yet unwilling to subject the comno- nity to the distressing em5arrass3faenfs which would certainly result from the con tnued diversion of the public moneys from thelf lawful custody: and therefore had f Il his duty to bring forward this proposition. I believe fsaid Mir. M'D.1 that we are un- der the most solemn obligations 10 order that the public revenue shall be hereafter according to the stipulation of the bank charter, in the Bank Of the United States; 1 believe that we are urged fo this course by every consideration of iusnce- oy regard to the plighted faith of the na- llon-and by every argument Of public ex- pediency.
