WASHINGTON, Wednesday night, Dec %
The debate nomiHaliy tho Bankrupt Repeal Bill went
to-day in the direction which Mr. Cushing gave it,
do believe that the feelings Of the Wings generally
favor this useless partisan debate now. Such debates
never did any good any party They express nothing
new, and merely the vehicles Of Indignation or
party bitterness, demogogsm. speak, Of course Of
partisan debate like the present. where there no re
ference made to the subject nomnuly before the House
and where there unlimited license a- TO topics
Mr. Cushings speech certainly required reply There
false statements in 10, except those which
Papabe rs To furnish their own correction. There
ppcny 10 he exposed, no false projections % be marked
IL was all plain, unaoyed corruption, open profession Ut
oil tina, the very worst Of politicians have hitherto been
ashamed II above even that poor 'houspe
which has not In logical point Of vicw there was no
Just occasion for reply from Wing. would have been
well that tie different divisions Of the LOcoOcO party
should have responded afimatiycy negatively to the
offer made them OF the patronage and power the Admin.
istraton; and II would have become them upon
what terms they would complete the bargain.
But the degree Of scon adherence and wrath excited in
all feeling minds by this insulting d-poy II political crn.
totsncs. could not be expeccd o. restrain themselves under
the counses Of policy and moderation. Tho ndg.
nation Of ardent speakers always will break forth
under these provocatons; and therefore,
prised when VIZ. Richard w Thompson, Of lndisna
cured the floor yesterday the adjournment lie one n
the imprisoned sort like Rayner, Lane Bos,J. l.. White
and G.. Davis.
At tho close Of the morning hour today when the Bank

Administration. He effectively exposed the shanelesgness
Of Mr. Cushing. icrRissaton that very subject Of the
veto power bringing s past professions into painful
rast with his present position.
Mr. CrsHfVC, however bore Do aI very vel. matter

ming that Infamous speech, just whata sensation would
make lo knew what horror end .oaibng would be cx.
pressed by those high-principed with whom he was
infinitely nssociated and be- awaited n c0py ~
means Of giving greater publicity he advertisement Of
"John Tyler and the whole Federal Administration for sale
to be cold a. the highest bidder"
Mr. Eyereu then attempted g. bring the House back ~
the busness question before t1cm but totally failed lie
moved the previous question, but the House negntyed 10
loudly, without diyissn. Mr. Andrew Kennedy an igno
