linucd MIR. i. this war upon the Banks
this union with Loco Focosm-this
denunciaii0n OF men who did not believe
as the patty did--it is this which has
Frustrated the country, and brought us
where we are. Here is the cause OF
our distrcsses. Your specie circular,
your iron handed, gripping execution of
the law has done it and because all OF
us do not do as we are told to do, and
swear cnmity to every thing not destruc-
tive, we are prescribed -denounced-I
impeached and impaled. There is to,
be neither feedom Of speech nor free,
dom Of thought without denunciation-I
bitter, personal, vindctive-an and we who,
will not walk in the footsteps of the H.
lustrious successor ofthe more llustrious
predecessor, are to have imprec ations
heaped upon our heads because we will
not do what the Executive bids us do.
In another part Of his speech, MIR. T.
said, we are called Conservatives
whether in honor or dersion | care not.
We are called by some Conservatives"
and called so because our numbers are
small. Sir, l must say that think the
name Of conservatives" much better
than "Sub-Servatives," (which name has
been rendered TO the friends of The Sub
Treasury. We have also been called
what we are, Spartan Band, and when
my colleague asks me, as one Of that
band, to surrender my arms, must give
him the Spartan answer, "comc and take
them"
Had the President, continued Mr.. T.
recommended the State Banks instead
Of the SubTreasury scheme, he would
have found supporters. My honorable
colleague would then have raised the
banner Of his country the stars and the
stripes, instead of gold and silver
In conclusion, if these things are TO be
persisted in here, continued Mr.. Tall
mad Eff these experiments are To go
on warn gentlemen TO remember the
ldes Of November, when voice will lie
heard in New York from the Atlantic to
the Lakes, loud as the roaring cataract
which pours its torrents in tones Of thun-
der over her western borders.
/ Mr.. Wright briefly replied, by saying
that he believed his colleague had mis-
understood the President in his remarks
upon the State election Of New York &.
] decline however, continued Mr.. W.,
entering upon discussion upon this sub
ject, because it is foreign to the bill be-
fore the Senate.
1 Mr.. Clay said he rose TO express his
thanks to the Senator from New York
for the comments he had made upon the
Presidents Message in regard to the
recent elections in New York. The re-
marks Of the President were unprece-
den,ed, and allow me to add, continued
MIR. c., undgnlied.
! His colleague, in declining to meet
him upon that point has proved most truly
that "discretion is sometimes the better
part Of valor." The chairman of the
I Committee Of Finance declines discus
sing this question, because he says the
matter is foreign 10 the bill before the
Senate. How came the President then,
in his message to Congress TO interfere
with this subject, if it is an alien matter
Sir, said Mr.. Clay, solemnly declare
that if the President had said of the
elections in Kentucky what he said OF
the elections in New York, would moi
have suffered one hour to have passed
over my head without having introduced
resolution before the Senate speaking
Of this act Of the Executive in terms
which it deserved to have been spoken
Of | did even consult with others as to
f the propriety of introducing SUCH re.
solution, and was only prevented from
doing SO from the fact that the Presiden
, had not made his remarks about my owl
State.
), The debate was here cut short, ant
on motion Of Mr.. Clay, the Senate wen
, into executive business.
In the House, Mr.. Robertson report
; ed, with an amendment, Senate bill en-
D titled can act to prevent the abatemen
, Of suits and actions now pending, t,
, which the late Bank of the United State
, may be party"
The amendment was in the following
, words:
"Or which may be pending on the 4tl
: day Of March next"
f MIR. X. moved the third reading Of tn,
3 Bill.
A spirited debate sprung up on th
3 motion, during which it was made to ap
pear that the bill was reported without
full meeting Of the committee, and tn,
question being put, the bill was recon
v mitted.
NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.
, The first business in order was tn,
: motion Of Mr.. Evans to refer MESA Q,
