The resolutions of Mr.. CLAY to amend the Const-
tuition, were announced as the order of the day.
Mr.. BUCHANAN addressed the Senate, and
in the course of his remarks, said that, in
his opinion there never more important ques-
ton presented to their consideration One of the
amendments Of the Senator Of kentucky proposed
to change the power in the Constitution with regard
to the Veto power and, so firmly were the Conyen-
ton of Wings, who assembled in this city last Sep
TENDER, opposed to the power, that they read John
Tyler out Of the Wing church for having exercised
il on two recent occasions. Their appeal 10 the peo-
pie to sustain them in their course was vain one,
for there never was a more disastrous defeat
than they sustained at the ensuing 9, cons The
Democratic parry wercdesfous ofprcserylng the char
ter of their hbere, it was, and were not disposed
to change its provisions but whenever 1t should ap

interpose his objection. He conceived the veto power

In connection with the private conversations
perverted and introduced into the Debates in

We publish this day the bill presented to Congress
by the Secretary of the Treasury for establishing
fiscal agency, under the name of the Exchequer of
the United States. 1t has been stated that this bill
contemplates the establishment of financial agent
similar TO that which was styled the Sub-Trcasury
system But this is not the fact This bill has three
objects in vew-lst, the saiekeeping of the public
moneys ID the furnishing both for the Government
and the people paper circulation equal everywhere
to gold and silver, and of universal credit Sd, the
means of supplying cheap and safe exchange be-
tween the several States, The two last objects will
be effected by issuing certificates Of depose to the
amount of Sl5,000,000 to individual dcpositors Of
gold and silver by issuing Treasury notes to such
creditors OF Government prefer them to specie /;
and by the purchase and sale of bills of exchange.
The amount Of the Treasury notes is to exceed
Sl5o0O,0O0 BY the passage Of this bill shall be
supplied with sound national currency, to the
amount of S30000000 We hope and expect that
Congress will pass bill at this session similar to that
offered by the Secretary Of the Treasury 1t seems
to be the only mode remaining for arrestng the
downward progress of our currency. Unless tie
moderate men of both parties unite upon this COM
mon ground, we cannot hope for a change in our
affairs with war threatening us on one hand, and
state bankruptcy pressing us upon the other we
shall be IN desperate condition unless bill similar
to tins one is passed by the present Congress Up
