mission. But, in verdict rendered as this has
been, am not ready 10 admit tina. It decides
against this measure. ~
What, then, Is the argument Of the Senator.
from Kentucky in favor Of this pteciptaie re-.
peali Is it that the measure has made mis-
chiefin the country That it has done evil TO
the people did not SO understand him.
But it is that il is not carried out in It's terms
and spirit that the law is not observed, but
violated. The Senator may be right in this,
for am not able to testify as to it's correctness.
But if it is 50, does it follow tina, the law is to
be repealed because il is not observed
Should wes not rather institute an enquiry
whether these officers do their duty
And if the Senator had thought fl to take
Philadelphia as his example, lie might have
made different case. know that in New
York all the banks are specie-payng banks :;
and know 1t IS the constructive duty of the
Receiver General TO receive three fourths Of
the duties there in specie paying paper.
But does the senator say that checks are
received there on non-specis paying baDks!-
And il il is an individusl wine takes the monev
to the vault. is the law violated or the csmmu-
nifty injured. His argument, as understand
it, was, that they were little benefited by it,,
and therefore he would repeal the measure
But is il not better, as it is now, than lift were
wholly with the executivei
In conclusion, mr.. w, disclamed any desire
to enter into the general argument, and called
for the yeas and nays on the question of the
resolution, which was ordered.
Mr.. Clay replied that as he was Christian
or endeavored to be one; he was not disposed
to render evil for good, but would allow the
largest possible accommodation, even on the
point desired by the senator, OF postponing the
mea. no until the senate shall be more full
though he recolected when the sub-treasury
bill was on the eve Of passing, the senator
from N. Y. would not allow single day to
the senator from Delaware, and that he would
not then, though earnestly entreated to do so,
delay it over night. He was happy that bet
ter days and more liberal sentiments were
coming into fashion.
But while i am up, will notice few re.
marks of the senator from New York. He
hi ,ae
ing into power, because it is without avowed
principies-a coon skin log cabin party. And
before proceed further on this subject, let
me ask what sort Of party those must be who
have been driven out of power by party
whose residence is log cabin and whose
covering is coon skins' Sir, there must he
something wrong about it, or the defeated par
ty would have never met so hard a fate from
a party which they hold so much in contempt,
and which is so contemplate, if the senator is
! correct. But does he in fact want to know
my principles or the principles of my friends
with respect to this sub treasury measure!
| Hate.we not been battling, with the whole
| country ON our side, against this identical
measure, The senator tells us thai the popu-
lar voice was in favor of this measure, and
and that it was consequently carried in a pop
uiar branch. Sirtl hope he will relieve me
of the necessity OF looking into that New Jer-
scy affair." and of discussing the manner in
which that gallant state was stripped of her
| sacred rights and her authority, trampled hH-
| der foot, in a manner degrading to dclibe!a-
| tive assembly, and disgracelul to the age in
which we live. But will not 90 into it, In
| the progress of the war gentlemen did gain a
little, and we were subject TO feverses prior
to 1910. But who that regards the truth, and
has been attentive TO the progress of events
can rise IN his place and deny that the cleo
ton Of 1910 repealed the sub-lreasury meas
utel 'rhey were avowedly against it, the OBJ
Ject was TO put i down, and 10 dispense with
measure which had disturbed the communi-
ty, and deranged the affairs OF the country foi
more than three long years II is not at al
like the cases alluded to by the Senator undei
former elections. The election of 1882, FOL
instance, was construed into an expression %
public opinion against the Bank of the Uni
ted States. But we all know that General
Jackson was then in favor Of a Bank Of the y.
nited States. He 50 said in his message, and
he was then supported on the ground tina, he
was friendly 10 the establishment Of Bank Of
the United States. And then denied as | dc
now that the inference Of gentlemen from those
elections was Justly drawn. But now, whelh'
ther the late election is favorable To a Bank o
the United States or 10 a league OF banks, OF
