THE, TREASURY ORDER.

This tot Executive usurpaton has beer re-
pellcd, 50 far as tie action of the Senate Is con
terned, by thu passage, nearly unanimously,
ri the till to designate and limit the kinds OF
funds re- eiyabe for the public reyenue-wilh a
amendment, proposed by Mr.. Clay, and unani-
0ously concurrel in. declaring it unlawful for
the Secretary of The Urea 5ury TO make any dis
elimination in The funds SO receivable The
bill itself was tlntamount to repeal of the
Treasury Order-Mr. Clays amendment is an
uncquivocal condemnation Of the vital principle
of that Orler-and yet the bill passed BY a vote
of ! to ), and the amendment unanimously.
Nothing is more conclusive OF the seryility and
cowardIce oil the INA oritg OF the Senate, than
the fact that they were afraid to condemn an Elk
ecutiye act openly, upon which they thus midi
rectly pass censule !
Mr.. Benton was one OF the FIVE who yotel a
gainst the bill and just before the question was
taken, he rose, aud gave extracts fIom a letter
which he had lately received from Missouri, sta
ting that all parties there were now IN favor OF
the Treasury Order" he do not believe him.
We doubt whether he ever received any such
letter. He imagined ii, just as he did the exis-
tence OF a splenddy furnished room in the East
wing Of the Presidents house, some years ago,
when hi, Republican feelings" were so horr-
bly, shocked by display OF magnfcence which
had no existence out in his own teeming trai n.
We do not believe him, because it is contrary to
the tone oil the last papers received by Us from
Mlssourl-and because, every where else, e.r-
cept in Missouri, there are the most decided in
dcations Of hostility to that Order even among
the friends of the administration. As an evl-
dencc of this, Mr. Black, Of Mississippi, in
which State the operations of this Order
are much much more extensively felt aud
much better understood than in Missouri,
said, in reply to Mr.. Benton, that in Mis-
sissIppi all parties we've now united in con
demnatlon OF the Treasury Order; and he had
lust learned that resolutions condemning that
Order had been introduced into the Legislature
of Mississippi, and had received the unanimous
vote of the House of Representatives in their ia
vor." Had Benton been called on for the orr
gindl Of the letter, from which he read extracts,
he would have been as much puzzled as he was
to find the splendid carpets, sofas, ct cetera,
which he once sdlo in the Presidents house,
when no such things were there
