REJECTION OF MR.. TYSON.

The rejection by the Senate, of the nomination Of
J. w. Tyson to the Office of Commissary General,
seems to have caused quite sensation at Washing
ton and Philadelphia--as there seems to have been
grounds for this rejection the part Of the Wings
save that he is avowed friend Of the present Ad-
mnistration--and not favorably disposed to Mr..
Clay. No objections made to his character, his
Talents, or his qualifcations-and it is only few
months since the Wing Senators voted unanimously
for his confirmation Surveyor of the Port of Phila
delphia The spirit of faction appears to be at work.

A REVIEW OF MR.. MANGUM,s SPEECH

n
Although much has already been said on the sub
Ject Of establishing Exchequer Board, with view
OF giving the people uniform currency, yet unless
it could be said to be entirely exhausted, its pre- emf
nent Importance may well claim still further attention
from all who are interested in maintaining sound
and valuable circulating medium; and this reason
may be allowed constitute valid excuse for the
press in thus entering into investigation Of the
r,s of such an institution.
Among the subjects which, from time to lime, have
occupied our National Legislature, not one, it is be.
lieved within the whole scope of their proceedings
has been agilatej which involves greater vari-
ely of interests fiscal, moral, and political, than the
currency of the country-which strikes more deeply
at the very foundations of all true and enlightened
policy, and which, according as i, shall be ulti-
mately adjusted, will be productive of la sting,
more beneficial, or pern:cious consequences. Let it
not be said, that are too much inclined to magn
fy beyond their proper Dimensions the various OBJ
jects involved in the currency question, still less let
it be said that the benefits which must necessarily re-
suit from the establishment of the Exchequer Board
will not be fully equal any thing which have
tured to imagine Involving, as this question does,
great constitutional principles on the one hand, and
intimately connected the other with the prosperi-
y ofthe country, it presents the aires claims to
candid and enlightened investigation.
When Demosthenes raised his eloquent voice
against Decree Of Arstocrates he bespoke the at
tsn,ion Of his audience as private man, who had
not any interest in the administration of the State
he bespoke their attention on this ground, that he
thought that the interests of others alone suf-
hcen plea. 50, in this case, believe that the int.
rests Of the people, will be justification, in calling
their attention to the principles involved in this ques-
hon The establishment Of such system as recon-
mended by the Secretary of the Treasury, is mea.
sure ofvast importance-as one calculated from its
powerstc regulate and give uniformity to the curren-
cy of the country. uniform currency cannot be
obtained without some general regulating power

CONGRESSIONAL DIGNITY-cooPER.

CONGRESSIONAL DIGNITY-COOPER.
Mr. Fillmore, on Monday, urged upon the
House the pressing necessity Of an immediate
action on the bill for issuing Treasury notes.
The power which had been granted to the De-
partment by Congress for making these issues
had been exhausted, and without resort to
some present means of supply, the warrants must
cease. Things are in such position, that the
character and CT edit Of the nation are involved
land therefore there is an absolute necessity
that the bill should be disposed of at once in
some way.
When matters thus stand, we might suppose
that every memtrr Of Congress feeling his own
responsibility a, legislator, would be anxious
TO hasten the final disposition Of the bill-to re-
lect il at once, and substitute better plan, or
pass it Immediately, SO that provision may be
made in time to prevent the country from being
dshonored. If, on topic, the merits Of which
have been so repeatedly discussed, any one was
of opinion that his duty to his constituents
would not be conscientiously discharged, unless
he published second edition Of one Of his
speeches made on former occasion, it was to
be hoped, that he would be equally impressed
with the conscientious requirement OF strictly
debating the question at issue, and of not vast
ing time by INDUCING in empty defamation or
unmeaning verbiage. There are some men on
the floor Of the House Of Representatives endued
with so little strength Of intellect or dignity OF
character, that, however their puerile vanity may
be inflated by their elevation to the position OF
legislators, they cannot support with decency
the honors that have been conferred upon them
Mr. Cooper, of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding
the information communicated by the chairman
Of the Committee of Ways and Means, took
the occasion-however inopportune the intru-
sion waste exhibit his small share of wit and
wisdom Whether President Tyler be a Wing
or Locofoco, as far as we can conceive, had but
little connection with the subject of the debate.
Mr.. Cooper quoted the Madisonian to prove that
the President had been coquetting with Loco
focoism, and is no Wing. We say, as we said
before, if an humble submission to the dicta
ton Of self-constitued party leaders, be ndis-
pensable to constitute true Wing, then the
President is not Wing. II single eye to the
good of the country be 81 fficient to merit fol
him the title Of Wing, then we say he is one
We have assumed for the President no party
epithet-ner have we wished to represent him
in any other character than the President Of the
People. We are not disposed to quarrel with
Mr.. Cooper for endeavoring to exhibit his i'm
mense greatness, no matter how untimely thu
exhibition may be, but we will not permit hin
10 quote us Incorrectly as an authority for any
assertion he may be pleased to make.

Mr. CLAY presented series Of resolutions from
the Legislature Of Kentucky, condemning and dis,
countenancing the reputation OF State Debts he
said these resolutions had been passed unanimously
in both bra inches OF the Legislature, and OF course
with the concurrence of both parties. They ex-
pressed themselves very strongly In favor OF the pre-.
servation OF good faith; and the honest discharge OF
all obligations into which State may enter; and
he had particular satisfaction In pre- nting these re-
solutions because the sentiment was entirely CO.
incident with his own.
The REPEAL OF TIE BANKRUPT Law.
Mr. BEsRiEN resumed the debate on The third
reading of the bill to repeal the Bankrupt Law, and
continued his remarks from the point at which he
had arrived yesterday when the Senate went into
Executive session. His purpose was to rescue the
Bankrupt Law from the imputation OF being obnox-
ious TO Constitutional objections. He pursued his
argume ut Tor two hours, but as the points embraced
in 1t have been heretofore fully discussed, 1t Is I'M
necessary to report them.
