I, ing up as the unfinished morning business
Mr.. Cambreleng called for the reading OF
the section, " by which the notes of the
Bank were to be received in all payments
due to the u. States, until otherwise or
dered by Congress" after which, he
said, that the Committee of Ways and
} Means wished the bill to be taken out OF
the Committee and sent to the House,
that it might be engrossed for Il third
; reading.
Mr.. ingcrsol said he had doubts that
the notes were legal tender, and he rose
to protest against being considered a:
sanctioning the proceedings OF the Com

Mr.. Brown made some remarks I
