Great part of the distress that existed
then, was occasioned, as it is now, by
extensive purchases of wild land. But
then, such of those lands as were bought
from thc Federal Government. were bought
on credit, and Government relieved this
class of spectators by taking back the
land, and thus freeing them from obliga-
tions to the amount; of millions. Of late
years the public lands have been sold for
cash, and as this cash has been "deposi-
ted with the States," the Government has
it not in its power to relieve this numerals
class of spectators, by receiving back
the land, aud giving them hack The money.

unessenlill amendments were made. A
motion 10 amend by allowing the bank to
issue FIVE dollar notes, instead of ten-for
the convenience of small remitlances by
mal-was rejected.
The friends nf the bill will have some
further amendments to offer on Monday,
and the debate will then be opened by Mr..
Buchanan. in opposition to the measure.
Mr.. Clay en,reated Senators who were
friendly 10 bank, not to differ as to de-
tails, but to present the question OF bank
or no bank. The friends of the bill will
not debate it much allenglh. Most Of the
speaking will be confined TO the minority
The final question will, therefore, be
taken in about one week from this time.
The House has now before it two OF the
important measures Of the session-the
bill 10 borrow twelve millions Of dollars,
at five per cent, reimbursable at any time

Johnson, Chairman of the Committee on
Public Londs, spoke at length in expIa-

The Mcleod question is sill under de-
bate in the House, upon resolution cal

the opposition was to attack Mr.. Webster
though Mr. WIS. course, in the. matter,
has the entire approval Of President Ty-
Ter and his Cabinet. Mr.. Gushing vindica-
ted Mr.. Webster in an eloquent and mas
terly speech. !
Mr.. Wise urged, as an objection TO the
resolution, the impropriety of publishing
correspondence while negotiations are
still pending; and he complimented the
course of Mr.. Webster and the principles
of his letter to Mr.. Fox, in the highest
terms.
MIR. Holmes argued that the Executive
ought not to be interferred with, in zthe
the conduct of this negotiation, before the
correspondence was brought TO close, and
expressed confence, on This point, in the
present administration.
Mr.. Gordon of New York, maintained
that Mcleod If convicted, ought to be
hanged, and that the federal government
had no right to interfere in his behalf
He also insisted that Mr.. Webster had
