In SENATE UNITED STATES, August 0.


Mr.. RrvEs having concluded his re-
marks
Mr.. CLAY rose in rejoinder. have no
desire, said he, to prolong this unpleasant
discussion, but must say that heard with
great surprise and regret the closing re-
mark, especially, of the honorable gentle
man from Virginia, as, indeed, l did many
of those which preceded it. That gentle
man stands in peculiar situation. found
him several years ago in the hal f-Uay house,
where he seems afraid to remain, and from
which he is yet unwilling to 60. l had
thought, after the thorough Kidding which
the roof of the house had received in the
breaking up of the pet bank system, he
would have fled some where else for refuge;
but there he still stands, solitary and alone,
shivering and pelted by the pitiless storm.
The Sub-Treasury is repealed-the pet
bank system is abandoned-the United
States Bank bill is vetoed--and now, when
there is as complete and perfect reunion
of the purse and sword in the hands of the
Executive as ever there was under General
Jackson or Martin Van Buren,, the Senator
is for doing nothing The Senator is for
going home, leaving the Treasury and the
country in their lawless condition! Yet no
man has heretofore, more than he has, de-
plored and deprecated state of things SO
utterly unsafe and repugnant to all just pre-
cautions, indicated alike by sound theory
and experience in free governments. And
the Senator talks to us about applying to
the wisdom of practical men, in respect to
banking, and advises further elaboration!
Why should suppose that we are at pres
ent in the very best situation to act upon
the subject. Besides the many painful
years we have had for elaboration, we
have been near three months almost excu-
sively engrossed with the very subject itself.
We have heard all manner of facts, state
ments, and arguments in any way connect
ed with it. We understand it seems to me,
all we ever can learn or comprehend about
aNational Bank. And we have, at least,
some conception too of what sort of one
will be acceptable at the other end of the
avenue. Yet now, with vast majority of

Crying, oh! alas, alas.

While the heavenly host rejoicing,
