 The Secretary having finished reading the letter.
 Mr Calhoun said that this letter had produced inhis being intmdated he should become boIder in his de- nunciation of corruption in high places As to the privileges of his station in the Senate he would leave that 5ody a to take fare o IS own Rerastion ho his place. and leave it to the friends of the President to sfew their falschood.

It was the result of the removal of the deposes to local insu- tions by which the facilities for speculation had been increased He had said that this was one of the means used by those n power to sustain themselves there He had said that ha.i asserted hatlbay @ % p e had n sad sat 1s9 oS neXioi of ,Ne President had been implicated, but he dl n3: name him.

 Mir. Grundy said he owedit to justice to say. that he had not understood the Senator from South Carolina casting any mputaton the President, of the per- sona character reported in the Globe but ought that the remarks were 0fa general character. He could go on to say in reference to MT. MI4amore, twho was his personal fiendo that he had snPposed the reference to he intended for him. and he could now state that MT.

 MT Culhuup said he did not know whether he had been accurately reported in the Globe, but he pres0I ei that he was not intentionally nsrcprcsented. He referred the difficulty which reporters had encoun ter from the noise in the chamber, which frequently prevented them from catching correctly what fell from the gentlemen. But he could not forl,ear from saying that the language of the President in his letter was more worthy of Bhngsgatc than the Executive
 Mr. Walker, so far as his observation had gone, de cared that he had not understood the Senator as casi- ing any personal imp9atien, , against 'he PrestenII the administration, but with himself the idea having been abroad by him in circular letter. during the warm contest for Senator ot the United States in Mississippi. ..s ..

He knew, he sad. how vain had been the o those sustain it's privileges; and he knew how vain would be any attempt of this powerless minority to assert it's privileges now But he could not avoid rising to ex press his regret at e course which the President had adopted we'll as his acqliescence in the proprety of the determination of the Senator from South Carol not 10 submit any motion a relation to the letter; but having laid it before the Senate, to leave that bo- dy to take care ofits own privileges.

 The Bill 10 repaal the Treasury Circniar, as it is sometimes called, the Currency Bill, passed in the Senate today-4O ayes, noes Be non, Morris, Rug ges, Linn, and Wright.
