speech of about three hours in length, the lohbcs
and galleries being crowded TO excess. lie lmAr
cd at the scheme Of the Gov eminent presensiag
question for The first time brought forward, an
involving results far beyond The pending qucstsss
and tho circumstances in which it originated.
The real question presented was-whcther III
Government, with the exception Of the REGULATES
Of the gold and silver coin, had any thing to =
with the exchanges Of the country. lie represea-
ted that the President found himself in a pose
ion. lii consequence Of the failure Of the Dcpot-
tic Banks 10 carry out their engagements Win

that he should undo all that had been done, aa1
tread back through tho track which had bCss
troddcn, or take the new and bold ground vhnA
he had taken. that tho Constitution had removc1
beyond the reach of Congress tho regulates Il
the currency Of the country.
lie went INTO a constitutional argument. -
also a historical view. 10 show that there was -
constitutional ground for this new doctrine, -
that the trainers and expounders Of the coosasss
ton, and the statesmen under whose ad".n'stse
ton the first aud second Banks a the Units
States were created, sustained the snsssss
tions, not for the purpose Of revenue only. -
with a view TO regulate tho currency ot ~
country.
Even General jackson hi;neclf took the grouat
in the frs, charge against the Bank of the Usssl
States, that ii had not fulfilled its Obl;gafio0

that the State Banks were rs capable OF peGe0
ting the currency the Bank Of the U. >. Eve
in his late message, General Jackson sent foso
shout Of triumph at the success with which IT,
banks had discharged their obligations, asd
there had not been the subsequent crash, -
message sent TO this Congress by the Press
would have echoed the triumphant strain.
He complained tina: the whole object a -
President and his friends seemed to be to taksees
Of the Government, whose interest in the pcesa
state Of things was about as sro per cent. 49,
