Yesterday Mr.. Clay made great Bank sD...
in the Senate. and as Informed you in prevm
etter declared that this Union could not endu,s {.
years 'cithOw U. s. Bank. To-day, Mr. NJ
geant OF Philadelphia, well known as the Alton,
and Counselor of the Bank, put in his plea, and L
able one it was, for that institution, He arovsd
gainst Mr.. Garland (the same as Mr. RiyesO M
position to carry on the financial operations Of N
government. He pointed out its total ineHics.s
lie insisted upon the superiority of the U. S. B,a
over every other, and what he said was very atm
and forcible. But he went one step too far, +
ghe distinctly threatened US ,cth dissolution Oa
|aDa'on, y the Bank icas not chartered! This WAS,
startling declaration, and produced tremendOf
sensation through the House. Coupled with d,
extraordinary statement made by Mr.. Clay yes,.,
day, ola similar tenor, it was significant d;,el~
sure. ltshows the game that the Bank is now A..
bout to play. 1t is to depreaia.e prices-getup "a
ncs-crppe commerce-and then, after hayins
driven the people to the last point Of wretchcdnea
twill alarm them-appea to their fears and extOr
charter to sase the Union. Great God! has II
come to this? It was only few weeks since IA |
the British importers and jobber, in the city oNI
York threatened to march with 10000 men anil
force Mr. Van Buren, to violate and suspend lr
laws of the land for their relief twas only fvE
years since that Mr.. Webster, while profanine he
Lords-day by instigating the people 10 acts Of VIC
lence, declared, 'there were no sabbaths in revolt
tionary times" Aud now we have the Bank, ~
pearingi in Congress, by its Attorneys, and dec,r
ing to the American people. You must gire
charter; zoe shall eract IL; the charter the chatr
,cithom it your Union shall NOT sand!' lhs
the language of this institution, which is now adve
Gated, anu told, by your Mississippi wings.
The Wing members are deluging the House wild
Petitions against TEXAS. They will strain ever
nerve to keep her down; but large portion Of ts
Administration party with Mr.. Van Buren, at dal
head, with the Southern men who have lately Ia
| ed him against the Bank, will stand BY that lion
hearted Republic in the great struggle which th
wings, bankites and aboitionists will make agaiS
her.
| The impression here is that Messrs. GhosOn M
Claiborne are elected for the whole twenty -ffthCM'
gress. The case is now before the COMMITTEE
Elections. twas submitted by those gcntemei
themselves with the view of testing the validity u
their election. They had been told that they h
no right to their seats; an effort hal been made
turn them OUT they were tainted with the illegaH!
OF their election; and the only course they ca@
take, as high-ninded men, was ts have the wbdi
case referred to the proposed Committee. hH
mysefno doubt Of their right to hold their seats n
two years; the powerful argument submitted by thi
before the Committee few days since, and is nOH
published in panphlet form, demonstrates their riS
conclusiyey. It is paper which is attracting uu
attention at this moment in our political cirges
uppose however, that you will go on and re-s%
Claiborne and Gholson, by heavy majority. TN
will be best Ofcourse ifa majority of the pcoptf
should vote against them, the. would resign 'htf
places. -
