Senate-I In the Senate to-day finished the work
of packing the committees, SO well begun in the cleo
tons of Yesterday II will be that they have put
at the head ofthe committees their most decided par.
tisans and given commanding majortes Of willing
followers on them-two only excepted, which are ut
terly destitute Of any political ght in the business OF
Congress.
Mr.. Clay made another move in the Senate to day,
from which we infer that he 10 put new stress
upon the Executive. He proposed the repeal of the
Constitutional Treasury the step first in the progress
of the business Of the session The President proposes
different order in his message. He suggests first the
establishment OF q fiscal agent before the present is
annhilated. Mr.. Clay would pull the house down
the head OF the Government and leave it then
alternative but 10 take whatever edifce the arch.
tect may think tit To rear upon the ruins. The de-
bate will throw some light upon this movement Globe.

Scnate-On the presentation of petition for bank
rupt law question was made to The proprety Of re-
strcng the session to certain prescribed subjects Mr.
Clay ntimaed that the business of Congress might not
be confined to the presented by the Message
IN going beyond the extraordinary objects for which the
call of the extraordinary session made, it would
seem that Congress would take its ordinary character
and might al IT'S discretion, circumstances rendered u
proper, consider not consider any proposition sub
mltted 1t appears that Mr. Clay will probably furnish
protocol of the business lie will allow Congress to act
upon, but that in all likelihood, lie will not include the
Bankrupt bill among the number of favored measures
The policy for the posponemea ofthe passage ola Bank
rupl law obvious lie means make all The interests
the country subsidiary to his grand measure of subsi
tuiing Bank for the Government, and its charter for
the Constitution The distressed specializing classes,
who have devoed themselves to the Of Federal
ISM simply with view to cxrication from their diff.
cutes, if at once relieved by bankrupt bill, would
cool in their zeal for BANK, which would no longer

pcry being transferred, and quittance obtained, they
would not he under the necessity of pressing for
Bank make another paper expansion, with view TO
convert their property first into paper, and then the de-
precia,cd paper into Of paying their debts
This crcuitous process is Of The routes through
which the distressed have INDUCED the hope oe arriving

which overbanking plunged them. Their maxim i

Mr. Clay means 10 avail himself to the utmost Of
the ds'resses of the country, which the Banks have
made 10 carry his point, for the aulocrnt institution
tie means harness the whole body Of the embarass-
ed to drag the car Of the Bank through the bog That
accomplished, he will probably drive them back into
the slough of despond. His policy has always been
the sacrifice Of the poor TO the rich.
He fastened to-day introduce his bill for the re-
