In the Senate this morning. Mr.. Cal
houn presented copy Of the proceedings
of the Republicans Of Amelia County,
Virginia, reproba,ias in stroug language,
The measures Of the present Session of
Congress. After the transaction OF some
unimporlant business, the Bank bill was
taken up, and Mr.. Archer spoke for two
long hours. About one third Of his re-
marks was devoted 10 dcnunciarions Of the
doctrine Of uulifration, and that he, him
self, YVES par excellence. the champion Of
State Rights priuci pies: another !hird 10
proviuc that the Fiscality in its present
shape was perfectly constitutional, though
in its former shape it was entirely uncon.

fatal in its tendency TO our free institutions;
but 10 create an institution with power 10

on Camden, or the opposite side oil the
Delaware, was nunihcicnt exercise oi
expressly delegated power, and was abso-
lu,ely necessary to The preservation ofIhe

viduals under Tho form o! a corporation TO

s,;,uriou 10 deal 10 exchanges at all. they
could authorize il TO deal in the exchan.

show that Mr. Tyler could not consistent
with his expressed opinions, veto this bill;
,ba, tho doctrine ofrcquiring the assen, OF

above comprehension that the Senator
from South Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun) who
was, perhaps The most as,ule man in The
United States could not follow.
