Mr. King, Of Ga. replied and remarked n,
when organized sedition was permitted TO n

Southern members TO leave their seats
There was general desire to prolcos Che
debate. Many were anxious to spesk, 81 he
Wing party, it is said, had determined IN On.
Gus to stop further debate, and herein they x.
ted very wisely. The previous question va
sustained, and Mr. Adams amendment VA
adopted. MIR Wise then said he was Oppose
to the adoption of the rules, because, wftbu
the 2lst rule, no business could be done.
would himself oppose the reception ofeveG d
clifton petition. But the rules ofthe last Hou
excepting the 2lst, were adoptet, until Co
mittee Should revise them.
On motion of MIR Sergeant,a select comm
tee ofnine was ordered to take into considel
ton the subject ofthe currency and the esa
lishment of fiscal agent.
1t was ordered that the Standing Comm
tees be appointed by the Speaker, and III
will be announced to-day.
/ suppose Mr. Fillmore win be Chairman
Ways and Means.
In the Senate, Mr. Clay introduced pui
col ofthe business ofthe special session, and
its order and distribution. You will see Ii;
the subject OF Bankrupt law is not iBclute
but it is understood that memorials on thi
subject will be referred TO the Judiciary Con
mittee, which will be prepared to report at d
regular session. 1t appears that the repeali
the Sub Treasury is to come first and next Il
Bank or fiscal agent. These two projects a
to start in the Senate. The House, meauWh
is to act on the provisions for supplying ID
Treasury, by increase of duties and by temp
rary loan, and then on the project Of dlsirbE
ting the public lands.
Mr.. Clay offered resolution calling on ID
Secretary of the Treasury for his plan @Suc
a bank, to be incorporated by Congress, a
would, IN his opinion, be best adapted to III
public service" The pbrsSeology ofthe reso
luton was strenuously objected to BIZ Mr. Rive
Mr. Calhoun and Others, who wishedtO CIV
the Secretary wider scope, and also to enc
his views in regard to the fiscal agency vhei
as he had suggested, would unite conflctH!
opinions and avoid constitutional scruples-
MIR Clay was Indifferent, he SAID, TO the nam
of The institution he was for bank, and ?
perceived the fiscal agent was bank. Final
on motion of Mr. Rives, the resolution was M
dified and adopted, so as TO call on The SecTt
tary for "a plan of such bank or fiscal agef
as, being free from constitutional objection
Will in his opiEion produce the happiestresu
md confer lasting and important benefits
he country"
Mr.. Clay brought up his bill to repeal u
,ub- Treasury act, and offered an amendmeT
epeaIing the Deposite act of1636. He san
the Sub-Treasury we're repealed, he Depo'
e act would be in force, and he expressed HIN
elf strongly against a recurrence to the mlseI
bic, and ricketty system of state banks
borrower, such a resort would be unneceSsar
Or there was no doubt that Congress woub
ollow the repeal of the Sub Treasury with
Bank or fiscal agent-if gentlemen preierc
hat term.
This called up Mr. Rives, Mr Calhoun, Dill
PRESTON and others, all of whom protesIeS
gainst leaving the public money in the hand
4 the Executive, without the protection !,
aw. Mr. Rives INDICATED the deposlte oanA
ystem, and Mr. Preston was wiling to ny !,
With all its mperfections, rather than confer I.
