As often as the course Of the suspended

liule danger, we hope. of the debtors Of the

pIs are divided, and justice is more than a
match for them as individuals. The banks
very well understand the pith ofthe Scyth-
ian's illustration. "Your laws, said An

hornets will break through them" We
doubt not that hornets of old, loo. were

them now, viz: the public good.
Just now there is an outrry made be-
caus: The established law Of the State is

In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Grundy,
from the Committee. TO which was refer
red Mr.. Benton's resolutions in relation I"
tbs assumption of State Debts. made 4
long anlargumenlalige Report, which was
read This report denounces The states
for having entered into wild aud exIrava-
gam snecula,ions; becoming very much
embarrassed in consequence thereof; aud
seeking now TO procure relief Of the Gen
eral Government, by means OF aSsuinp-
ton of their debts. A long discussion ell
sued in which the report was most severe
" criticised by Mr.. Preston, MIR. Webster
and others. Mr.. Preston denied that the
States had made any such demand of the
General Government, not one OF them
would he 50 weak as 10 come here with
such a proposition, especially as they
know that the General Government has
not only no power, hut no means for their
relief. He denied the truth Of the stric
lures upon the projects OF The States, and
especially in regard 10 his own State.
MIR. Benton had moved to print 10000
copies of the report for distribution. MIR.
Preston said, this procelur would give a
sanction TO every thing the report Contain
ed; in twenty five days it would be on tn"
counter of every banker in London; aud
not only the States, but those institutions,
a, home and abroad, which held their
stocks would he alarmed and embarrassed
by it. The Report. if sanctioned by the
Senate, would strike deadly blow al The
credit of the States and The value of their
stocks. Those States which were slran-
ing every nerve to sustain their credit
under The present unparalleled depression,
would he paralyzed by ii. The Report
pnye no exhibit of The resources of the
States; but it boldly minated that they
could not, or would not pay their just 90
legations. lie denied the truth of the
STATEMENTS, and in(erences of The Report:
and held up its mischievous character in
strong point of view. The end of the
matter was, that the report was recon-
mir,ed on motion of Mr.. King, of Alabama.
to I've revised aud amended. Its friends
had become afraid Of it.

the subject was a very strong argument
and produced an evident impression.
It is proper to.remark, however, shat
there are not waning many individuals
