In conformity to the general understand
ing OF Yesterday. the bill to establish a
Fiscal Corporation was taken up; when

the President. especially by implication
IN his veto message. and also with the
amendments proposed by Mr.. Rlves to
the bill formerly reported by Mr.. Clay.

made AT the outset, that although this bill
was moi such as he thought the necessl-
ties Of the country required--lt fell short,

derable cxtcn, two most important objects;
the one was the regulation Of the exchan-
res of the country, the other the insurlng
. sound AMI uniform currency throughout
al parts of the country. II being thus a
measure which was likely to accomplish
much god. he should not refuse to vote
for it merely because it did not accomplish
all the good he had hoped and desired
He went for doing as much good as he
could. in every sphere Of life in which il
was his lot to move: and, on that priaci'
pIe. the bin should have his vote.
