II Is = circumstance to which il may be
worth while TO call the attention of the rca-
der. that, taking the two Houses Of Congress
together, majority OF Congress has pointedly
condemned and rebukcd the removal Of the
public money from deposite in the Bank OF
the United States. Thus in the House OF
Representatives, the vote on laying the reso-
luton Of that import upon the table "a test
vote) Was ia to 1O2. In the Senate, the
pajority upon MIR. Claws Resolution, con
dcmning the removal Of the deposites, was so
decisive, that the Yeas and Nays were not
asked for ty the minority but, the whole
Senate being present, the majority in its IA
vor may be set down at Is or 20. TOn Mr.
BEsTos's motion TO commit the resolution
with Instructions, sc. on which the Yeas and
Nays were taken, the actual majority against
the commitment. and in favor OF the resolu-
ton, was ninefsen. In joint meeting Of the
two Houses, there forc, there are sure and
firm majority who are Of the opinion that the
reasons which have been assigned by the
Executive for the removal Of the public de-
Posi.es are unsatisfactory and Insufficient.
