The Senate, yesterday, received but one dis
tress memorial circumstance rather unusual
for this session, and that was presented by Mr..
MckEAN, the Pennsylvania Senator. This me-
mortal, as memorials on this subject commonly
do complains of deep and unparalleled dis
tress-heaps Goals Of fire on the head of the
President, and shews him that his best friends
in Pennsylvania are fast leaving him.
The next subject taken up was Mr.. Clay's
joint resolutions on the Finances on their third
reading. The first resolution which affirms the
resolutions of the Senate, and which gave rise
to the celebrated Protest, was passed without
division. The second joint resolution, requir
ing the restoration Of the public depostes to
the Bank, after a very animated and interest
ing debate, was passed by yeas and nays-29
in the affirmative, and l6 in the negative
McKEAN, ofPennsylvana voting with the yeas
and KING, of Georgia, voting in the negative.
The debate was commenced by very strange,
unexpected, and wholly unauthorized attack,
made by Mr. KING, ofGeorgia, on the much abus-
ed little State of South Carolina, which he ex
tended to the whole South, while he eulogized
the North, and, forgetful Of plain historical
facts, gave the whole credit of the Revolution to
the New England States, and but doubtful
credit to Virginia.
This brought out Mr.. PRESTON, Of South Caro-
lima, in most eloquent speech. While he &C.
corded full credit to the others of the thirteen
he beautifully defended his own little chivalrous
country; and while he painted the disastrous
scenes in South Carolina, in that arduous strug-
gle--the civil warraging there, while her flag ne
yer was struck & laid before us the glorious deeds
OF Sumpter, Marion, Pickens, and Laurens, we
almost thought ourselves carried back to the
days of the revolution, and were actors in its
scenes
After the passage Of this last resolution, the
remainder of the day was consumed in dis
cusson of the bill fixing the northern boundary
line Of the State of Ohio.
The House was engaged all day on the con.
tested election from Kentucky, and had not
come to decision when it adjourned.
