IS between a "bank' aud a corporation"
The use OF such terms was a slv, sneaking
md dlsgracetul attemp, 10 get round the
OF the president and the re-
Iuiremcnts Of the constitution.
That the bank of exchange contemplate
ed in the bill, was so like bank of dis
count, one could hardly tell them apart.
Discounts were not to be obtained under
it by name, twas true, but they could ca
silly be obtained in another shape.
That this bill virtually created a bank
empowered TO operate per Sc over the Uni
on, the very thing the president had rejec-
ted !; and if the whole world stood against
him, John Tyler had nerve enough to We
To it, and do it he would.
Mr.. W. then went on 10 say that the
president was not to be terrified by telling
him his cabinet was in favor of bank.
They at best were cabinet at sutlerance,
tenants at will, not Mr.. FLYERS cabinet,
but orc that had, when 1t was formed, the
seed of dlsorganlzation at heart. Nor was
the president to be hurt by the moral les
sons read to him by a disappointed pol'i-
tcian, who, having failed of the vote OF
his own party, had determined to be not
barely the power behind the THRONE"
but the power above the throne" wish
inc to stride il like a colossus.
Mr. w. concluded IN fierce philippe

der the name of Mr.. Rumor, IS a sandy
haired, long-nosed orator, full of the most
patriotic feeling, that always, however,
terminated in himself. This Mr.. Rumor

out what course the president might have
pursued lie might have kept the bill in
his pocket--a mean, cowardIy way of
avoiding esponsibility-or he might have
resigned his place, and then Mr. Rumor
would have considered him one of the best
fellows in the world, since he (Mr. R.)
would have tried to step into it. The last
alternative Mr.. Rumor no doubt would
have preferred for, unless the president
did resign, he would get

distribution bill was resumed, and, after
a lengthy discussion, the amendment pro-
posed ycslcaday by Mr.. Berrlen, but mo-
dltied SO as to agree with that originally
offered by Mr.. King, was adopted. A
number of othei amendments were of.
lered and rejected, and the bill was then
ordered to be cngrossed by vote Of 20
ayes to % noes. Adjourned.
HOuSe-Messrs. Reynolds and Casey
of Illinois appeared at the bar, were quail
fed, and took their seats.
The house then went into committee Of
the whole and resumed the fiscal bank bill,
the question being on the motion of Mr..
Sergeant to strike out the whole bill and
insert fiscal corporation.
Mr.. Marshall obtained the floor first,
and replied to Mr.. Wise's speech of Sa-
turday with great ability. Messrs. Gil
mer and Profit followed against the bill.
The latter broke loose entirely from his
keepers, and renounced Clay whiggcry
and all its works forever. Several others
followed in favor of the bill, when the
hour of p. NJ. having arrived, the COM
mittee were ordered to vote in silence on
80 pages en- nldSSe, which had not been
once read in their hearing. Nevertheless
it was carried in committee, then adopted
in the house in the midst of a terrible up
roar, and after some other fOrmalilies, this
singular bill, got up and carried through
with such indecent haste for the purpose
of cheating Captain Tyler" was passed
in the house by l25 yeas to "a nays.
.2UguSt 2i.-Senatc-The fiscal cor
poration bill was received from the house
and read first and second time. On the
second reading division was called for
and resulted in yeas IS, nays II.
A motion to lay the bill on the table
was lost by yeas 81, nays "a.
Mr.. Clay then wished to have the bill
referred to a select committee, of which
he however had no desire 10 be member
He did not know whether he should vote
for the bill-that would depend entirely
upon the practical provisions which might
be admitted into the bill by its friends.
Mr.. Buchanan said he should vote for
select committee and for disconnccting
the senator from Ky. from it, for he did
not wish to see him at the head of Il COM
mittee to give his sanction to this kite-ny-
ing fiscality. There was but one step
from the sublime TO the ridiculous, and he
thought this iiscality had taken it,
1t was then agreed to refer the bill to
a select committee.
The distribution bill was then taken up
for third reading. Mr.. Calhoun oppos-
ed it at great length Mr.. Archer replied,
but before he got through sank from en-
haustion, and the senate then went into
executive session.
