After the passage of the "DepoSitc

Wright presented a bill authorizing
the issues Of Treasury Notes. Mr.. Clay
made several enquiries of Mr.. W., and
among them, asked him eff the money
in theDeposite Banks, was to be used as
Bank Notes, or if the Banks were to
be compelled to pay them in specie,
and then if these funds were to be left
idle?" Mr., w. in reply said they would
not be used as Bank Notes unless the
law should authorize them so to be US
ed. Mr.. Clay proceeded and said:-
"Then it comes to this: we have pass
ed bill to take funds out of the hands
of those who would have been glad to
use them, to put them into the hands of
others who refuse to acknowledge and
make use of them. The States would
have been glad to receive this money
in the shape of Bank Notes. Again:
Government refuses to call them funds
in that shape and to Government we
have now made them over by the bill
just passed. And as Government.
though it receive those funds, and pre-,

there is deficiency existing, and this
deficiency is to be supplied by issuing
