Rives, the only two plans submitted to
the senate decided that the plan of MT.
Rives was too exceptionable to be adopt
ed, and the evils too result from con-
tinuing the state banks in connexion with
the government would far exceed any OF
the evils which had been described as
likely to come from their divorce.
Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.
WASHINGTON Sept. %.
The effort to procure any action, on
the part of the House, upon the deposit
bill this day was abortve. The ardor
of the debate has greatly increased, and,
by sort ofsympathy with the senate,
as well as from the natural connexion
existing between the different measures
brought forward, the sub Treasury sys-
tenn has become the main topic Of discus
sion. The speech delivered by General
Thompson Of S. c. yesterday was the
strongest and most decided, in opposi-
ton to the measures proposed in the
message, that we have yet had in the
House. This gentlemen is nulliffier
and has, hitherto, acted with Mr.. Cal
houn; but the separation is now mark
ed and wide, Mr.. Calhoun will find few
supporters among his former friends
perhaps none but Mr.. Pickcns. The
position of Mr.. Calhoun has become
very uneasy. The withering speech of
Mr.. King, Of Georgia, the cutting rctorts
of Mr.. Rives and the bold denunciations
Of Gen. Thompson, were too much for a
man of sensibility to stand IN one day.
He lost his temper, as well he might but
instead Of yielding to all this opposition,
he is driven by it to distinctly radical
ground, where he is now 10 be found.

surmsed from what | saw to-day, that
Mr.. Wright was willing to accede to
the proposition of Mr. King to postpone
the Sub Treasury Bill till the first Mon
day of December next; but MI. Calhoun
expressed his regret that the motion had
been made, and said the country requir-
ed final and prompt action on fhe sub
ject. believe that "lhe country" has
acted upon the proposition, and refuted
and repudiated it. 1t only remains for
Congress to do the same, which they
will do without doubt. But, | trust they
will not drop the matter as promptly"
as is desired. We want more discuss
ion upon it first. We want few more
such speeches as those of Mr.. Smith of
Indiana, and King of Georgia, and Tall
madge of New York-men of known
and uniform republican principlcs,-be-
fore we can let this desperate effort of
the disorganizers pass from the notice Of
the public.
The people have been too long hood
winked by the party in power. They
have been blinded by the dust raised

structed by those in whom they havebeen
accustomed to place confidence, it is
gratifying to see these men, shaking off
trammels Of party, and despising both
the frowns and batteries of power, be-
come the champions of constitutional
principles-of the principles of Wash
ington and madison. .f.
| consider Mr.. Smith of Indiana, as
great acquisition to the senate; ias a
man of talents, independence, and sound
and practical views. His colleague Mr.
Upton, whose course has by some, been
represented as doubtful, though without
any reason-took occasion to-day as Mr..
Calhoun says to show his hand,"-and
it was "hand" that will beat anything
the Loco Focos can bring against it.
He attributed the embarrassment of the
country to the course of the late Admin
istration, and declared his utter hostility
to the doctrines Of mr.. Calhoun and the
message.
Treasury drafts, & warrants, according
to mr.. Cambreleng, have come to low
ebb, 81 will soon cease to be available for
the purposes of the government. The
passage of bill in the senate, extending
! the time of duty bonds nine months, had
destroyed the demand for drafts and
warrants. The passage Of the other
bill for adjusting the claims on the depos-
it banks would, he said, operate to dis
courage the payment the balances due
| by those institutions, until the expiration
OF the time allowed them, and thus, the
| Treasury is without means to pay the
current demands.
