Mr. Wise asked the chairman Of ways and means
what change had occurred in the affairs of the country
to remove the objections TO this which that
lleman had himself 80 recently urged? 1t had been de-
nounced by him as measure favorable 10 the schemes
of Nicholas BiddIe, &c; and why had it become SO
grca; favorte so suddenly:
Mr. Camhreleng was opposed, in principle, 10 taIs
mode Of making loan, and had come into the measure
reluctantly and only matter OF necessity This me-
cessity arose from the large amount of appropriations
the probability that the United States Bank Of Penn
sylvania would purchase up the Treasury notes which
are 10 be reissued under The law of Congress lie hnned
members of both parties would unite and put II IN me
mower of the Government q" "'ahe use OF uiIS sIoCh

| Nh Underwood was glad TO see that the chairman OF
ways and means was disposed to regard this measure
with better temper than at the extra session, when he
had denounced il Offered by members OF the Opposition
as emanatng from the mint of Nick BIdde. He had
said that the effect of the would be to place The
Government in the power Of the Bank Of the U. S.
Mr. Cambreleng said he thought so now; but this bill
provides that these bonds may be sold abroad.
Mr. Underwood could not that the explanation az

chairman Of the committee of ways and means had shown
that he could change his opinions 10 suit occasions and

Since the extra session. the question had been, whether
