Mr. Rives alluded to the reports which had
been made by the Committee of Finance,
and expressed his surprise that the Com

the suggestions OF the Message, a measure
on another subject. He expected the COM
mittee would bring forth ~ Bill to desig-
nate the funds in which the public revenue
shall be received
That subject was strongly dwelt upon by
the President, II was one Of most mo-
mentous importance; and he thought the
Committee ought to have presented its views
on that question, and brought forward bill
in correspondence with them.
MIR Wright said the Committee Of FL
nance had had very full communication
with the Secretary Of the Treasury, and es-
pecially respecting the subject alluded to by
Mr. Rives, aud he was now directed by the
Committee to say tina. they have reported

With regard to the subject spoken OF by
Mr. Rives. the designation OF the funds re-
ceivable for the public revenue, he said,
they had concluded that they will allow the
law on the subject. now existing, to remain
as il stands.
MIR Rives said he expected the Committee
to report. He now understood tina, there
was no report to be made on the subject -
| and though he was most anxious for prompt
action, yet as there was no essential and
mutual dependence between all the bills re-
ported, he wished to examine them all be-
fore he could give his vote on the Bill made
the special order for this day, (thut relative

moved, IN order 10 give time for considera-
ton. that when the Senate adjourn. it adjourn
till Monday.
Mr. Niles opposed the motion to put off
the discussion, and earnestly urged the ne
ccssily for immediate action
Mr. Wright said that he was only anxious
to meet the wishes Of the Senate in regard
to the when, and at what rate these meas.
urcs should be proceeded with, and he
cheerfully leh the motion of MIR Rives to the
decision Of the body
Mr. Rives said that the members from ~
York and Connecticut Mr. Wright and Mr.
Niles ought to recoleci the situation OF some

question. from theirs. His constituents ex-

lief of the people; and he had not been
able TO see any thing having that tendency

Mr. Calhoun said he had been looking for
a remedy The remedy presented will fail
There is mere choice of evils. He de-
clared the only suggestions in the Message
which could give character to the reported
Bills. were left untouched; and he took this
occasion TO say that all the measures of the
Committee amounted exactly to-noihing.
MIR Webster referred to his expressed in
tention TO nterpose no obstacle to the pro-

give them, by his vote, as early an opportu.

plans

speeding the October ins,alment, was. in his
opinion. wholly inefficient; but be was ready
to have ildisposed of promptly. Let it and
all the other measures be tried promptly be-
lore the wisdom of Congress.
