If this be healthy, in inc name of Heaven what is sickness?
 Theresis nothing" continued MT. Webster, "but respect for Senators prevents me from speaking of this Bill hut as the height of human folly: care not for the details of the Bill or for it's provisions look to its results. Idread them and shall oppose now and always-from the starting point to it's journeys end. The Bill ought to have had preamble-an introduce tory explanation beginning thus-WAssrsa': we are Whereas we are created tor our own use, and not to make laws for the people.

 This bill carries us back from the days of credit and confidence, and civilization, the days of feudal bar baris when the treasures of earth were hid in caves in vaults and buried in the earth. We go from trust and good faith physical forceto the bolts and bars Gown sy from our his estate @ Sir, this B looks only to the Government and not to the People. When once separate oursel from the People, sep. arate ourselves from duty, and just in proportion as one separation corresponds with the other. We might as well have a standing army stalking abroad through land. desoatng and destroying our villages. towns of the Capitol and call around us the standing army to defend ourselves, while, agreeably with the pro- visions of this Bill, left the people to take care of themselves! We might as well do this, as to isolate ourselves from the People by this Bill
 Mir Webster next came in contact with the remark o MT. Wright. made yesterday that the Senators and Reprssenia.ioes in COngress reflected s re Peo Pe-and thdt thus refectng that will, the Sub -Trea- sqry Bill was more popular than any measure before the country. This theme was most prolific, and most unfortunate subiec to have been introduced by MT. Wright coming lrom the State he does, the opln- ions Of which State he certainly does not represent.
 Mr. w Websfer put to Mr. Wright plainly the question, whether he really did believe the majority of the peo ple ofNew-Y York were friendly to this Bil "Do you believe they will support it, sanction it's support 2 said MT Webster, with eyes resting Mir Wright. .Mr Wright noddef assent twice thrice, expressing an affirmative answer to Mr. Webster's plain and di-
 "Wha. evidence have you of the fact?" continued MT Webster :" Qo you derive i! t from the recen, Doest come from the popular branch of the State Le gsIatnre of New York Does it come from the Sen ators who have been recently elected to the State Le- come if not from the city and the countryside Peo- pie, and both branches of the State Legislature Will the Senator from New-York tell me MT. Webster paused for reply. But his bringing home remarks he would not admit, and Mir. Wright did not again "shake his ambrosiaI ocks'' or '" give the nod' The question was too plain to admit o an answer, and Mir. After whipping MT. Grundy, Messrs Allen, and Mor- ris, MT Hall and others, over MT. Wrights shoulders by changing his subject upon the general question, Of having the will of the People upon the SubTreasu. ry Bill reflected through the Senators and Represen. tatives in Congress, MT. Webster went more at length and denied the truth of Mr. Wrghts allegation :I'he Representatives in Congress---much less the Senators in Congress-could not reflect the opinions o the People upon the Sub Treasury because all of them were chosen before the b-Treasury Bill was question was not broached until after their election
