N V D I AA FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, ls4l.
 wAsHINoroN.-on the lsl inst, the "Fiscal Corporation was taken up, and the dehate c"nr'- nued on the 2d and 3d. to the hour of our latest ac- connls. The debate took a pretty wide range, and was very entertaining. Mr, Benien opened the de hate, in a long speech principally confined to Mir 1yers two messages, froH which he argued that the President would be compelled by his declarations io tign the present bill
 Mir. Riyes replied at some length, says the Mer- cy correspondent, and declared that he considered the bill equally objectionable with the former. IL would authorize discounts in the form most hable to 10 abuse-in that of kite bills and race horse bills, which have helped so much render the banking system odous. 3.. Four or five amendments then offered by Democratic Senators, merely for the purpose of ex- posing the character of the mon ter, which cool Iy voted down by the federal majority, and the vote was about be taken ordering the bill to be en- grossed, when Mr. Archer expressed wish to ad- dress the Senate the subject, and moved an ad- adjournment which was carried.
 On the End, Mir. Archer of Va, occupied the floor for two hours. He went largely into and against the doctrine of nUilifcdtion,he offered to prove that the ''scaly" in its present shape was constitutional, but unconstitutional as vetoed. We copy again from the Mercury's letter
 To create an institution with the power of dis counting promissory notes, (said Mir. Al was gross usurpaton, dangerous, if not fatal in it's tendency to free institutions hut Ia create institution with fn Hiarsu mi illa nf chanU irau in Npu York, on New Jersey City, Or in Philadelphia, on Camden, on the opposite side of the Delaware, was nun f;ent exercise of expressly delegated power, and was absolutely necessary to the preservation of the Republic. No one, he said would deny that gov ernment had the right to purchase bill of exchange If it necessary for the transmission of fW.ds to distant portion of the country. if il could buy bill for thousand dollars, 1t could for million. If il could authorise the head of department, ndi- ridua purchase this bill il could authorize two or more individuals under the form of a corporation to do so; and. if they could anthorise this institution deal in exchanges at all, they could authorize it to deal in the exchanges of the whole country The re- Inaning portion of his speech was an effort show that Mr. Tter rouid not consistent with his express ed opinions, veto this bill that he doctrine of quring the of the States was super asurdity, 80 far above comprehension thai the Senator from Souch Carolina, (Mr. Calhonn) who was, perhaps the most astue man in the URiied States, could not follow.
 
 piled the arguments of Messrs. Archer and Berr,- en, in favor of the kte-fyng iscay, and contrasted some of their arguments with their pretensions as exponnders of state rights doctrines. The power of government to purchase bill of exchange when it was necessary. said MT. Archer, gave congress the power to create bank of twenty millions, to deal in The exchanges of the whole country, and establish agencies in every state in the union against their wishes. This was one specimen of strict construc- tion. The senator from Georgia (Mr. Berren) yes- n.AoIN merce gave congress the power to create paper currency with which to carry that commerce. .-- This was another specimen of strict constructions He then analysed the iscaity, and demonstrated that t was infinitely more objectionable than the former bill, and if John Tyler should sign this bill after t- king the high and elevated ground he had done in the veto message. he would eternaly disgrace himself He remarked, conclusions that the whigs had been condemned for much of what they had done at the present session; but they had done thing for which they deserved the thanks of every lover of lb- erty throughout the world, and that was, they had most efectually done for themselves. This brought mp MT. Clay, of Kentucky, and the manner in which he commenced, led every present to expect eruption, nor were they disappointed. Mr. Bucha- nan, in reply to remark of Mir. Archer, that he was better acquainted with what was going on at the ~hite house than he (Mr. A.) was, payully replied thai he was not now, but hoped he would be- Dir. Clay took up this remark, and supposed it pos sible, and this suppositon poured out torrert of
 
 which the vocabulary of nyectiye was exhausted aud conclusively established the reputation of he speaker the rhetorical backguard of the age The desertion of his political friends by the Pres- dent, said Mir. Clay, would be an act worse than freasoii-an act of moral turpItude which had never been equaed in any age or country-he would be ex- ecrsbe, atrociOns, infamous, and would render his name loathsome in history but he thought this de- sertion of his friends and his principles by the Pres ident to be utterly npossible-the soil was too pure
 
 Iher continued by Messrs. Buchanan, King, Linn, Wright, Calhoun and Preston. Mr. Calhoun, in al- fusion to some remark by Mir Clay as to his visits to the white house, remarked that he had had no communication with the President for the last two months but he would take that occasion to say that he most heartily approved of the late yeto and that fhe present bill, which be considered infinitely than the former, would meet the saue fate-nay, he would go further, and say that ifthe President io veto Ihe bill of abominations he distribution blD before him, his support of his administration would be most cordially given. Mir. Riyes then rose and read lecture on the i'm propriey of the the debate had taken which threats and intimidation were used the side to deter the President from doing a certain act, and hatteries and promises used on the other induce him to perpetraie the Before he had concluded his remarks, he forgot the object for which he said he had risen and fell into the strain of argument which he had rebuked at the commencement of his speech Mir. Calhoun replied that there were varons ways ofmaking known their opinions to the President -one was by confidential intercourse with the occu- pant of the White House, the other for Senator state them in his place, in the Senate Chamber. It was mere matter of taste between him and the Senator from VirginIa, and he, (Mr. CD preferred the latter mode. Several efforts made to get vote on the engrossment of the bill, but Mir. Berren insisted on having an opportunity of answer ing the argument of Mir. Buchanan, and moved an adjournment. The democratic Senators expressed their willingness to hear him then, but he persisted in his motion, which carried by the whig majo- rity, and the Senate adjourned,
