SupleCt was OcIofc the Scnate Unth IL o.
clock, when the Senator from South Caro-
| lima, John Crisis Calhoun, who had been of
a nervous temperament through the day,
was anxious to proceed to the consideration
of the Presidents Message and the Bank
Bill returned by the President. The ques-
ton was even brought before the Senate in
the interesting FORM "Shall the Bank Bill
pass,"-when Mr.. Berrien of Georgia, who
is not only whole hearted Wing, but q Sc
nator of great amiability and distinguished
ability, also moved further postponement
ofthe question until tomorrow. The Wing
Senators of all shades of opinion, rallied as
one man, in favor of the motion, and it was
carried by vote of % to 2l-after some
sharp words between the Senator from Ga,
(Mr. b. and the Senator from S. c., (Mr.
Calhoun.) The Land Bill was two hours
under consideration-the opposition Sena-
tors resisting the measure in detail and in
principle, as they have done since the Bill
came up for consideration. One amend
mcnt after another was voted down, until in
the course of the discussion the details of
the Bill were forgotten in a general discus
sion of the principles of this and other
measures Mr.. White of Indiana in prop
err spirit, rebuked the delay which had ta-
ken place in the consideration of the Bill,
and the business of the session. He prayed
for observation-disclosures for less
time in the mere discussion of question of
contested character. The remarks did
not suit Mr.. Linn of Mo-, who is as warm as
pepper whenever subject of party char
acter is under consideration. He abused
the Wings indiscriminately, and the vitupc-
ration came like dirty water from u common
sewer.
Mr.. Clay, too, spoke briefly upon his ia
vorlte measure, and upon some of the inl-
portant features of the Bill. 1t was delight
tul to see the man and hear his voice after
the storm Of the week. The first announce
ment ofthc passage ofthe Bankrupt Bill in
! the House was from him, and as yesterday
the equivalent defeat Of the Bill, as it SEEM
ed created feeling of CONSERVATION there,
SO to-day, the reversed decision created a
thrill of joy. 1t was delightful to see the
contrast, and perhaps nothing could have
been more in contrast than the apparent
state OF feeling yesterday and to-day. The
remarks OF Mr.. Clay were full of promise
! as to the measures of the Extra Session.
He hoped they would pass and believed
| they would pass. He was not without hone
he said even to the success of a Bank at tho
present Session of Congress, which should
meet the natural wants of the country.
The Land Bill was debated until the
bankrupt Bill came from the House. Mr..
Walker, OF Miss, soon moved to take the
bill up. With the Administration Senators
ne stood alone but the Wings came to tho
| rescue, and the bill was brought before tho
Senate. The amendment of the House,
to the Senate bill was very simple one,
and involved only postponcmcnt of time,
from November to February, before the act
went into operation. Nevertheless, it was
resisted in the hope Of defeating the Bill
Mr.. Buchanan led off in opposition: Mr.
Calhoun, though opposed to the Bill, was
disposed to favor its passage, because, as
he said, it was to blow the Wings sky high.
Mr.. Morchead of Ky. replied to some of the
crtldltlcs OF the Senator from Penn, and Mr..
Walker did tho same. Three O'Clock clos
ca all debate, and the Bill was passed with
the amendment Of the House concurrcd in.
