THE MAIN ISSUE ATTAINED IN THE DIS
CUSTOM.
A most interesting debate occurred yester-
day in the Senate, on a proviso in Mr.. Rives
bill, which is proposed BY him as a substitute
for what is called the bill to divorce Bank and
State Mr.. Rive's substitute for the original
bill-which substitute looks like the perpetu-
alton Of banks as repositories of the revenues
ofthe General Governmental the follow
ing proviso:
Provided, also, That the notes of no bank
which now fails, or may hereafter fail, to re-
deem its notes in gold and silver, shall, at
any time, be received in discharge of the
public dues, unless such bank shall, on or be-
fore the first day of eighteen hum
dred and thirty-eight, have bona tfde resumed
payments in specie"
This proyiso Mr.. Calhoun declared to the
Senate amounted to stipulation that the pri-
vileges contemplated by the bill in favor of
the banks heretofore to be associated with
Government, should be erclusipe, and confn-
cd to those that resumed specie payment on
given day in the next year-that these pri-
vileges were held out as inducements to such
banks us were able to resume specie pay
ments Immediately, to press to that point and
that it was pledge to those that reached the
goal and won the favor of the government, that
they should enjoy the prize alone, as the re-
ward Of the victor in the contest. Mr.. Cal
houn pointed to the Pennsylvania Bank Of the
United States as one which, from vast capital
and resources, its connections abroad and at
home, would be able to put down competition
on the part of all inferior and feebler institu-
tons. He expressed the firm conviction, from
his knowledge Of the great financial abilities
OF Mr. Biddle-the ambition he entertained
to assume again the high function Of con-
trolling the currency and banking power OF
this country through the credit Of the govern
ment--that his institution, and those connect
ed with it in the several states, would resume
by the time appointed; but that, in command
ing the means for themselves, and to enjoy
the monopoly they would prevent others from
resuming. The measure, therefore, proposed
by Mr. Rives, he predicted would result alone
to the benefit Of the Pennsylvania Bank OF the
United States, and those in league with 1t.
Mr.. Rives disclaimed, on his part. the
slightest wish or intention TO favor the inte-
rests Of Mr. Biddle's bank. He argued, from
the condition Of that bank from the circum-
stance Of its entering into large commercial
spccnlations to pay its debt in Europe and
from its refusal to unite with other state insti-
tuiions in preliminary measures for an early

resumption Of specie payments, that Il was one
offhe weakest and least likely 10 obtain the
benefit of the proposed act. III pi1
We doubt not, Mr.. Rives is sincere in the
opinion he expressed From the strong and
deserved denunciasion which he pronounced
bat a few days ago against the Bank OF the
United Suites, we cannot believe that he would
propose q measure which he thought would
enable II 10 secure, under compact. all the
power il has lost over the government, the
currency, and the country, and that too, under
circumstances which render II Independent of
the government employing il. But II the
bill passes, nothing is more certain than that
Mr.. Biddle will exert the whole power of the
institution over which he presides-will put
into requisition all the immense capital with
which II is identified on both sides Of the At
lantic, to appropriate all the advantages held
out In the proposed law. ie Nm 2 fHa
An able and studiously prepared article
which appeared in the National Gazette few
days since, had direct reference 70 this OBJ
ject. II was recommended by the editor as
coming from quarter deserving high consi-
deration. II argued at length the necessity
of employing Mr.. Biddle's bank as the govern
ment depository; insisted that its capital and
SoHsiOSeotio cnouiCu dtOhc, Vi Ill TIE Stdtc
institutions, to regulate the currency, or per-
form satisfactorily the duties required by the
Treasury and proposed that the bank itself
should enter into obligations TO limit its profits
to seven per cent although it could in con-
nection with the government, raise it to ten
or twelve per cent and, by the way Of bonus,
we suppose, proposed that all above seven
per cent should be divided with the Govern
ment. s .HA &&t. aW#f,s&
Although, therefore, Mr. Rives may con-
slider the present posture Of this great bank
such as likely to obstruct its reach after the
exclusive advantages proposed in his bill, it is
perfectly certain Mr.. Biddle does not despair,
nor do Mr.. Biddle's friends, as we have no
doubt they will show by their vote in the
Senate. They are against state bank deposit
tories; but they will, in all probability, vote
for Mr.. Rives's bill, in the hope that, in case
Mr.. Biddle gains the prize, his institution will
obtain higher power than when directly con-
nected with, and responsible to, the General
Government. If Mr. Rives were to exempt
Mr.. Biddle's bank from the benefit Of his pro-
viso, which he might very properly do, from
the danger Of its excessive capitalize man
ner in which it obtained its charter-its 70
reign connection, ETC. we venture to say he
would at once lose the opposition support for
his bill-and this shows the motive Of their
cooperation. ,.'.
