Judgment practical talent, and experience in financial

II Mr.. Clay introduced his resolution for the repeal o
u the Sub-Treasury. 1t is substantially the same n
that offered at the last session, stating, in SO many
", words that it ought to he repealed forthwith, ant
hat the committee on finance be directed to report

Mr. Calhoun of opinion, that the mcasur
