In SENATE, op Wednesday, Feb. I,
but little business of general interest
was transacted, previous to the arrival
of the hour for the discussion OF the Sub
Treasury bill, when
MIR. Hubbard spoke at length in reply
TO Mr.. Rives, and in the course OF his
remarks charged Mr.. II. with having
."gone over To the enemy"
In the House an interesting debate
occurred on Mr.. Garland's resolution
the object Of which is to derive iniorma-
ton from the Secretary Of the Treasury
in regard 10 defaulters. No decision
was taken on the question, before the
orders Of the day were called for. The.
North Eastern Boundary question thus
coming up, Mr.. Evans Of Maine, ad-
dressed the House ill adjournment.
In SENATE, Thursday, Feb. 8, reports
and resolutions were in order. No re-
solutions, however, Of importance were
presented, and the Senate proceeded to

President says that the Banks brought
about the result Of this election. In the
counties where there are banks the
Wing gain was in proportion not one
half. Sir, said Mr.. Tallmadge, there
may be an excuse for this declaration,
when it is made by the organ ofthe Gov
ernment-.there may be an excuse for it,
when it comes as il does from the Loco
Foco organs in the city of New York
but when it comes from the President Of
the United States, ! hear the charge
with astonishment. Sir, l repel it with
Indignation. l repel il although it comes

better, and he did know them better. /
