Mr.. President For more than three hours
have I sat a patient listener 10 the Senator from
st. Joseph but desutory have beenh remarks
so devious his course, that il is with the greatest
reluctance, | rise and consume the further time Of
the Senate in attempting To reply.

Of the State debt due the Bank. Now again, he
expresses his adherence Of Treasury notes the
proposed interest does not please hun lac feels no
obligation, that the State should pay the Bank. or
indicates any desire that the Bank should resume
specie payments ne proposes no amendments he
suggests recommends nothing and e for arsu-
ment, nothing seems 10 require any reply from me
OF what relates 10 myself II would be perhaps use
less for TO notice. what the Senator'S object has
been in consuming much time, offering 50 little
which be considered argumentatvc, is not
apparent; and were it not, that my constituents
had been especially referred 10, in these wholesale
outpourings, should not have detained the Senate
for one moment.
Mr.. President, the people Of Marion county who
! have the honor to represent, are, proud 10

OF the rich market for produce which the cit zcns
OF ~. Joseph enjoy yet, good citizens, they

The Senator reminds me Of my oath Mr. Pre-
sdent, well do | remember the hour when with
other Senators recently elected, stood around your
desk, aud held up my hand before this body and
swnre well aud faithfully 10 do my duty, and we'll
do remember, When IN company with the gentle
man from II. Joseph aud thus whole Senate we I'm
the Hall of the House Of Representatives heard the
prayer OF the plous clergyman, invoking blessing
from our Creator upon our efforts 50 beautiful, 80
pure, refined, were his sentiments, 80 lust and
fitting to the new duties we had % discharge. that
they sank deep into my heart; and from that moo
ment, determined that with the blessing of God,
would endcayor well and faithfully 10 dD my duty
during the session and | say now to the gcnti--
man from ~. Joseph, 60 thou and d. tlksiriss.
The Senator reminds me of Gen. Jaokson-hs
veto, his opposition to a National Bank. Sir that
great and good man needs 10 aid from me had his
opinion been followed, the stockholders of the Bank
OF Pcnnsylya would have been saved from ruin
his success IN the battle field, his fortunate adm.u-
isiraton for eight years of the affairs oi this ION.
