U. s. TWENTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION.
IN SENATE .Mondav, March H.

Penn. approving OF the course OF the
Executive, SC. The language of these
proceedings had been soitened before
presenting it, and yet was considered
dsrespectlul. The questions debated
were, as to the right to alter the sub
stance OF such paper, and as to the Ie-
ception Of a memorial in itself disrespect-
ful and personal towards individual Sc
nators, particularly to Mr.. Webster.
After six hours debate, the Senate, by
vote Of "a to 90, determined not to re-
ceive the proceedinss-and then adj.
In reference to the scene which ensu-
ed in the Senate, the Correspondent Of
the Baltimore Patriot says
"Both ends of the Capitol have been
wordy to day. The columns Of the
Telegraph and lnteligencer will groan
under the burthen, If The Editors attempt
TO print all the words that have been Ut
tered. Almost every man and hall
man, from Henry Clay, Daniel Web
ste, and John &. Calhoun, down to MIR.
Sir Bedford Brown, believe it il, has
been on the floor. Even MIR. Van Bu-
rem talked twenty minutes or more-and
all this on the memorial from York,
Pennsy lvania!
1t would have been well for these me-
morialists, or Resolution passers in York,
If fthey had heard the indignant remarks
which all Senators Of all parties poured
forth on their abusive memorial. 1t has
the honor Of being driven in disgrace
from the Senate, with the epithets of ca
lumniators, foul and disgusting libellers,
base and wicked, passed upon the get
ters up of the paper. Not n Jack son
Senator stood up in behalf Of the Ian
guage. Wilkins condemned it. Forsyth
could not stomach it, Mex Kean said it
was too bad. Wrigh. did not approve
it. Mr.. Van Buren requested an era
sure. King loudly condemned it. Such
you may tell the good Jackson people Of
York, are some of the remarks which
their own political friends made upon {
their memorial. Such is the figure they
have been making to-day i'll the Senate
OF the u. States; there stigmatized by oil
parties as foul and abusive, as libelers,
wicked and base-and not a voice rais- 6
ed in their defence, not even the voice c
Of Isaac Hill, the only Senator from 4
whom they could have well expected :,
defence. So much is gained by imput-
ing unworthy motives TO such men as
Daniel Webster. tt
The House has been engaged all day 4,
in taking i'll memorials and petitions-l,I Il
chiefly on the deposite question:" :,

The Senate, to-day, was a theatre Of n
great interest to the audience, which was
large-und the proceedings
will doubtless be Of vital Importance to
he country. After some ordinary bus- "
1ess-and the presentation Of the Boston b'
protest against the course of the Presi- r
lent, in relation to the Depostes, by a.
Nr. Webster, and short speech from
i'm, as well as from MIR. Sprague, fitted 'i'
0 the occasion-Mr. Webster ask ed 10
cave to introduce Bill to re-charter the ou
Bank Of the United States. The pro- m
isions of the Bill were substantially as
ollows:
lst. To prolong the charter for six 81
ears-that is, to the Sd Of March, l842; wi
xcept the clause which inhibhs Con- pa
ress from making any other Bank, :,
hereby leaving Congress the perfect "
berty TO create a new Bank at any
me during the six years Of the prolong-,
d life of the present Bank. 2d.-To
C posite the revenue as it may be recei- TIN
ed, in the Bank from and after the pre- gu
ent bill passes, as heretofore. 3d-To d;.
sue no bill under t,ceniy dollars. 4th- or
o pay the same bonus proposed in the "
i'll of 1882, which think, was two hun We
red thousand dollars annually. CO
There was one or two other provisions ga
precaution, not affecting the essential ho
atures of the measure. Mr.. Webster -
accompanied this with speech Of great y"
earness and power. Could the people
this country have stood by and heard ine
i'm, | am sure that nine-tenlhs Of them, IN;
no had not fixed constitutional objec-
ons to any and every Bank, would, Wv
hateycr their political opinions might lea
E, have said he was right-and have to
earthly approved of the measure. MIR. the
eigh followed. He said he could not
rte for the re-charter IN any iorm.-l
irginia was against it-and his position a. .
I'd opinions forbade his assent to it WV
le went on, however, to describe, in a inc
rain Of great eloquence and effect, the Ev
stressed and alarming condition OF the del
that, being driven to tn
,oose between the present Bank, or q h,.
NV Bank-or between this and the ex- '''
ting state Of the country, even Virgin urg
might chaage-and conclude to take me
G present Bank.
