"The seventh proposition is that the ex.

In the SENATE, Saturday, Sept. 30,
Mr.. Preston concluded his speech on
the Sub-Treasury bill, in reply to Mr..

The postpone bill, as amended in
the House, was concurred in; Messrs.

negative. Messrs. Clay, Webster and
Preston, were not present when the vote
was taken.
In the HopsE, the resolution reported
by the committee Of ways and means,
against n national bank, was taken up
again for the special order for the morn
ing hour; and Mr.. Sargent, of Pennsyl-

time, in opposition, and in support of a

deep impression or the House.
At 10 o'clock the House resolved it.
self into committee Of the whole, and
MIR. CambreleDg called up the Senate
bill TO authorize the issuing OF Treasury
notes. Objections were made TO this by
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Wise, on the ground
that it was n bill for the purpose Of rais-
ing revenue and therefore ought to have
originated in the House, and not in the
Senate. Mr.. Cnmbreleng yielded to
these objections, and agreed to take up
the House bill for the same object. In
