the Sub Treasury has become the law of the land.
Immediately after the final vote upon its passage,
Mr. Cooper of Pennsy lvana moved to strike out its
present title and substitute the the following; A
bill to reduce the Ualue of property, the products Of
the farmer, ind the soages ofMe taJorer: to destroy
the indebted portion Of The community, and to place
Mc treasury Of the nation in the hands IF the Prcs'
dent. Mr. Cushing moved to amend the motion, by
substituting, I'm act to enable the public money to
be drason from tho Treasury soithout appropriation
made Jy iaao. He supported his motion with great
ability and cloquence. He showed most clearly
that it's present title was misnomer, that the
he proposed was the proper one, and that the bill
was most papable violation of the constitution
He spoke of the fitness OF the hour at which they
had perpetrated this, the last act in their DRAMA
when the light of Heaven departing, when
the going down upon the trampled rights
of the people, and upon the violated constitution:
He congratulated the House and the csuhtfy that
there promise of a.brighter dawn in store for
them. AS he sat down, the man who was
once Mr. Pickens of South Carolina, but who has
retained the and form of that once distn-
guished representative without the soul, the fallen
and degraded Pickens obtained the floor. Such an
exhibition Of frothy bombast, furious gesticuation
and malignant and fend like exulta,ion, has been
seldom witnessed, even in the American Congress
certainly never in Bedam.
After exhausting his abuse upon the wing mem
bers, this braggart South Caronan, who is so
ternally prating about his chivalry, DARED NOT al.

ly. Pickens bawed something in answer, but
could not understand what. The house was in the
greatest confusion the Tory DULLES amusing them
selves and attempting to contribute to the prescrva
ton of ORDER by Shaking their sts ia the faces of
those of the Wing members whom, from their own
ply steal superiority, they supposed they could in
suit with IMMUNITY.

when both Mr. Cushing's amendment and MIR Coop
er's motion lost by party vote. The follow
ing is the vote upon the final passage of the
treasury.

Absentees IL. OF the absentees and vacancies,
with the exception of Howard of Indiana, every

Carolina, Il is acknowledged by his friends, would
have voted in the negative had he voted at all
The Speaker, although friendly to the Sub Treas
ury, was opposed to this particular bill,-in full
House therefore, tho vote will stand, the House
is now constituted, l25 in the affirmative to III IN
the negative. Take away the five New jersey
pretenders, and it will stand 100 to 122 against!
