Both Houses Of Congress agreed yesterday,

that tho Session is thus early brought to close
All the business now before Congress, and all
Tat might be brought before it, calculated for
the emergency, might as well be disposed of in

set apart for adjournment, you will sea business
despatched, aud long.wiudod speeches cut oil.
After the House had made out to agree on a
day OF adjournment, the Mississippi election
was taken up, and discussed by Mossrs Legare Of
South Carolina Underwood of Kentucky, and
Mason of Ohio. The debate was kept IN till a
late hour, and the House adjourned without hay
ing arrived at any conclusion. This morning, the
subject was again taken up, and debated by Nj
llaYne Of Georgia, and many other gentlemen,
all OF whom, as lar as could Judge appear ia
be disposed TO treat the question IT'S one that
should be acted on without the least regard 10
party squabbles.
IN the Senate, warm debate ensued on III,
subject OF the Sub Trcasury scheme, in which
Messrs Calhoun and Webster took mart, nm,
soon came IN open collision. After the debat,
had been kept up for sometime, the bin toeetbe
with an amendment proposed by Mr. Calhoun
was ordelcd to be engrossod for third reading
by a vote of % to %.
At o'clock, the debate on the Mississinn

The bill to authorize the issuing of Treasury
Notes, which came down from the Senate some
time since, passed last night by large majority.
This morning, on motion Of Mr. PIcAENs Of
south Caroline. NY uoto &C 100 81, ihe
House took up the Sub-Treasury bill, and went
into Committee Of the whole, upon it. Mr.. Pick
ems got the floor, and at half past 2, concluded a
most powerful speech. He took general re-
view of the Message and defended its financial
positions, He declared that il was immateraI
to him with which party he acted, when the lib
critics OF the people were at stake. He consid-
cred this SubTreasury bill identified with the
Liberties of the people, and the purity of this 60

tablshment of a NATIONAL BANK, the most dan
gerous engine ever raised to batter down free in

We present to-day o our readers this brilnnt
effort. Il IS decidedyohe Of the ablest speeches
ever delivered insConGress, Or in any other teber-
alive body. Weshave read with a pleasure
which we have not terms adequate 10 express. Mr.
Calhoun has surpassed even himself Not any of
his efforts can compete with this speech. Never
at any previous tine did he stand before The nation
IN such glorious, commanding attitude not even
IN 1919, when he stood forth the bold and peerless
champion Of his countrys rights Hediscusses the
subject Of the currency in the most bale and lucid
manner--he points out with irresistible force, the
dangers Of further connection of the Government
with the Banking institutions of the country, and
the impolicy, If not the utter impraeticabih,y Of
establishing another National Bank--he argues thu
al the expansions and contraciions Of the banks
and the consequent pecuniary pressurcs and pancs
are mainly attributable TO The connection Of Bank
and Siate--he shows that he has always acted with
perfect consistency upon the subiect-that in 1891
he advanced the same views, and that he was then
IN favor Of extending the charter of the National
Bank mainly for the purpose, as he expresses it, of
''nnbanking the banks" In fine, Mr. Calhoun comes
out openly and decidedly in favor Of the measures
recommended by President Van Buren, in his late
message. He has nobly and patrioucally thrown
aside personal prejudices and party trammcls, and
gone Tor his county and the constitution. Saw, ve
State rights men Of mississippi, will you follow vouI
