National bank He gave his views al considerable
length.
Mr., TALLMADGE replied to Mr. Wright briefly,
but with animation He reminded his colleague OF
the controversy between them lille the sub reasury
was originally pending, and OF the hot haste with
winch that measure Was pressed, against the remon-
strances Of his friends and before he, Mr.. It.. could
reach the city. That that difference between the Sc
majors had been referred to their constituents and that
they decided il, clearly and emphalcay, against his
colleague in lS37-3S -39, and that when they came
down to the contest of 1910, both his colleague and
himself were in the field before the people, discussing
TINS measure, and the motto inscribed the banner OF
the friends ofthis measure ian Independent Trea-
sury, against National Bank" 1t was, therefore,
worse than idle 10 pretend that the people had de-
cided tit had been discussed ad naused and there
remained nothing to do but carry the verdict Of the
people into execution. He had told his constituents
that he was for any thing or nothing in preference
