Of " modified" so as to meet tn object
Of the senator from Ohio.
Mr.. Benton moved an amendment
relative TO tila arrangement of Treasury
drafts and ne mode of paying them
when presented, which he for the pres
ent laid on the table.
Mr. Buchanan hoped the question
would be taken, if no gentlemen was
ready to speak.
Mr.. Calhoun SAID he would not press
the motion. He expressed regret that
the resolution to adjourn on the 9th had
been adopted, before this important SUBJ
iect had been disposed of.
Mr.. Crttenden then expressed his
sentiments in opposition to the bill. He
stated what were the condition and ex-
pectations of the country, and asked how
we are about to fulfil these expectations.
Was any measure proposed to relieve
the country? No, every thing was pro-
posed for the relief of the currency and
the government, and nothing was done
for the country. He denounced the bill
Withdrawing the fourth installment from
the States, as fraught with injustice and
injury. The States had asked for bread,
and we had given them a stone. By
Withdrawing this nine millions and au-
thorizing a new loan Of ten millions, by
issuing Treasury notes, the Treasury
will be relieved, but the burdens of the
country will be increased. He went in
to an examination of the proposed dl-
vorce of the GovernMant from the
Banks, which he interpreted to mean
that government will separate itself from
the people. 1t would be better for the
government to tell the people-we In
tend to have gold and silver, and you
shall have paper; we will use a silver
spoon, and you must use wooden one !;
we will eat from a silver plate, and you
must use wooden trenchers. This would
be more correct language, than to talk
about divorcing the banks from the gov
ernment.
