have just leA the house. 1t adjourned q, a
few minutes past o'clock, having amended, and
finally passed, by an overwhelming vote, the bill
to regulate the depostes Of the public money.
Ii 10 now too late, and am too much sgitated
with pleasing emotions, to attempt giving view Of
the party as it exhibited itself during this day and
evening, in the house. One remark, however can
not be too oAen reptated,--all the power and in
nuence that Mr.. Van Buren, possessed has been ex-
ertcd in boA branches of Congress 10 defeat this bill
and what 10 the RESULT On its ins: passage in
the Senate there were sir negatives. On its final
passage in the House tonight. there were thirty
eight negatives. Thus, out OF taco hundred and
and eighty members in the House Of Congress forty
four have voted against permitting the people to
have the Of their own money, and for retaining
it in the pet banks. This is..whst may be called
political regiment Of officers, without rank and
file.
But there is another remark cannot omit

| This has been one of the most important days
for this country since the adoption Of the Constilu-
ton. The Revenue question, with al amendments
is settled. The Senate Deposite and Distribution
Bill passed the House. at nine o'clock. tonight.

The only amendment to the BILL adopted on
motion of Mr. Anthony, Of Pennsylvania, will not
prejudice it with The Senate. lie withdrew him
self the Objectionable feature Of the amendment.
viz the proposition 10 distribute the surplus, IN
the proportion Of federal numbers, as acerained BY
the last census, and every motion to eDgrsit that
principle upon the bill failed. The bill, az it stands
provides for tho distributin Of the money among
the States proportion to their respective represen-
tation in the Senate and House Of Representative
Of the Congress of the United States This gives
an advantage to all those States which have less
than ten representatives the Aoor Of the House
Rhode Island for instance with two representatives
will receive twice much she would under an
upportionment according to federal numbers.
The idea Of the money ever being returned BY
the States is secuted by every body,-for it is not
believed that the Government will ever want it -
and if they did, no administration would risk their
popularity in demanding it,
1t is said that Mr. Aothony's amendment has the
appreciation Of the President and will enable him 10
sign the bill. Ifnot, vote Of two thirds will 2sss
it. The amendment gives the money to the States
as depositf. instead Of loan. This 10 tho whole
amount Of n.--Nearly all the Regency party 'o,ed
against the measure.
