Iiewag astonislicd 10 leoI The point broached BY
the Senator from Georgia. Mir BerfenI that the ~
oer cc. Of the Compromise act was not the only con
,inrency on which the restoration Of Tie lana iuso
rested. And with regard 10 ihs, The irankhess anu
fairness with wh,c the Pres den, Of Tie u D had come
out in support Of the true version 81 Ina. clause, as oH
aersood 10y every WAo voted on The measure, me
rted the highest praise For THIS i!anAness aud lar
ness he i!onofed ism.
HIS reason for voting against this bill was, first that
he would not trust tie party IN power WIN So hiucH
aoney-lhai is, l.e would not conhde so much IN het
WISDOM economy, Or other words, political honesty
Ia the second place lie objected to The terms Of the
bill. The Wing party have brought the creci, oil Inc
Government 10 tie present Gep!oahie co:oition arc IL
was asking much cf him, IN view Ct tier eononc',
70 ask hnI vote for bill 20 eu,horze the s'oek OF
the Government 70 be sold for whatfves would bIng
lie would no, vote for any bill which would suEof'ze
tie stork to be sold for LEGS than dollar COR collar
Another reason SHY he would not voie Tor II was,
thai Il authorized scrip 10 he put out even rs low Us i've
dollars and thereby make ano!hcr continental paper
bank for Government. Could any one be blamed Tor
ipg ,qusndertd away twenty-five millions IN so SNORT
a PERIOD since they came INTO power: lie had h.aro
Tie Senator from Illinois, i!r. Youpg and the SeEa-
Tor from Alabama Sir Klngl reciie their experiences
in Wall street. He, too, would mention the result OF
lts experience.
MIR ARCHER admitted the, the substance Of wha.
the Senate. from Arkansas had stated with regard to
the passage hrs speech 10 which h had referred, was
rgh,; bu, he explained II IN The sense which ne mean!
j, the time.
Nh CRITTESDEN desired to know whether the
Senator from Arkansas msns that any portion oi
Nj Ewing y statement was uutrne-
Mr. SEWER did no. say word about liz truth OF
un'rulh.
Dir CRITTENDEN replied in reference to the
charge made against the Wing party by the Senator
ron Arkansas, tina, they were debt, loan and tax
,a!ty observed that he had hoped pause would be
allowed IN the presen, condition Of the Goyerumen,
aad the country, for breathing time-ior patriotism to
come into acton, DC &c
sIt SEWER desired 10 say few words in reply 10
the Senator from Kentucky. lie supposed the Sena-
had not heard h:s observations, or most OF h's
speech would have been spared. What he had SAID
was Ina, part Of the party denied that the Ban
Bill vas Wing measure, another the Land bill, another
tie Bankrupt bill but here they were al! united on this
bill for debt, loan, and taxes
Was il 10 he expected thu, he and his friends were
10 81, from morning 10 night listening 10 themselves
ard their party abused and vi!hed, with padocks on
ti.i. mouths: VIVA, Of far play wss there in con-
,rasting the bes, Of the Wing with the worst
of Their opponents: If gentlemen gave blows they
should e1pectto receive blows:
lie had defended The President for his veto and his
message, aud not With we" oi assaiiing the wing
party.
Nj LINN observed that there so much Of good
temper end pood feeling in the remarks made by the
Senator from Kentucky, that he should not have felt
himself justified rising 10 proong the discussion II
I've not sort under the necessity oil asking
TIC Senate. ( 10 han he alluded az having made
PARTY remarks yesterday, aud if in these remarks he
conceived anything personal 10 him contained: lie
could assure him 10 snc! thing aas intended ana u
there any ;inng in what he had said that could
bear such meauing lie withdrew it most cheernily
Ills intention had been merely to show the discordant
eemen,s Of the Wing party, and to show that 1t had
been predicted they coulo not hold together.
lie referred TO the frequent occasions on which the
party which he belonged had been designed as plum
dcrers and land praies Gentlemen themselves 60
lack and rake up the past and the Democratic party
compelled in sefdeience TO go back also, and admo
sh Tie party now in power by reminding them oil the
pas, too
lie was aware that elimination and recrimlnatlon
isplaced in the Senate ofthe u s. lie fell that
the time hen all should forget what ne was
Perfectly willing 10 forget.
Mr. CRlTTENDEN explained, that what he had
sad with regard 10 responsibility, was that he would 90
for the present Administration all that was proper and
necessary for him TO Do, but further than that, he re-
nounced all responsibility Tor the ucts VI 'n's @Au'''
tra,ion.
Air KING observed that the time was come when II
was desirable that all, without distinction Of party
should make such arrangements as would enable The
Government perform s duties, and sustain The hohoi
and credit Of the country. He, therefore, could not
say with the Senator'S from North Carolina, [Mr Man
gnmJ from Georgia, MIR Berr'cn) and from ken,uc
ks. mir Cr,,endenl that he would vote for this bI
with regret, for his regret was that he could not vote
for the bill He regretted that such notifications were
not made ia il as would have enabled him 10 vote fo
the loan.
He decricd the argument that alteration ought to
he made to The h,ll which would not be acceptable &c
the other House The Senate was bound 10 do lis duty
without regard TO the effect which the exercise Of tha
duty would have elsewhere.
He then explained the various amendments which
should have bcen made TO the bill.
lie was surprised to find the Senator from North "a
roina now saying he vii cling TO the land bill unde
all circumstances; and he would simply ask how diG
such an avowal accord with his declaration on The
amendment TO the land bill itself, when he stated tba
