Our readers VIII perceive, that the bill TO esiab-
lish Treasury Bank has passed the Senate. Par
tcular attention IL requested 10 Mr. Clay's amend
ment. by winch the scruples of two Senators were
satisfied. Literally construed II says 10 the States

power OF Congress ~ unequiyocal terms To esiab-

their consent. II cannot remove any honest ooJcc-
ton against the bill! entertained by the President
any body else.
In the origin aud progress of this amendment. We
have specimen Of wing legislation. IL had been
affirmed for a week or Two. that n compromise was
agreed on; the terms and the names OF Senators
who would vote Tor Il, were published IN the distant
papers. II was arranged in caucus or out OF doors.
Being in the Senate hour before the vote ia

80 plain and palpabe was the caucus arrange

enabled to pass the bill Mr. Henderson, 1t will be
seen, the next day avowed the arrangement. 80 tar
as he was concerned, well As his opposition IL
the amendment bu; yet he voted for the bill. Had
he been present. the amendment would have been
rejected but it is not for Us 10 decide how far a
concerted absence 10 avoid voting on a proposition
to which he opposed, is compatible with the du-
y Of a legislator nor how he can finally vote for a
bill embracing amendment TO winch singly he
has insuperable repugnance. Mr. Clayton, IL
seems, could not bring himself 10 for the
amendment either separately or embraced IN the bill;
but could reconcile II to his conscience and his hon
to promote It's adoption and passage 10y yrecoa-
ceried absence. As for Messrs. Merrick and Pres
ton they swallowed the dose and the latter wncing
all the while, made speech to prove how sweet II
was.
Thus this .V0.NSTROUS MEASURE carried
