So il Sill be seen that on the test
question, only tro Locofocos stood up
for the Exchequer, and fico Of Ty-

among The missing, and Gilmer and
Mallory voting against it, leaving the
Wings to give il nearly all the little
support it did get. Wise excused
himself alierward for being absent, but
agowed that be should have voted in
the negative. With what face, then,

Mr.. Chas. j. Ingersoll, Of Pa. one
Of the ablest and most inscriptions
Locofocos in the House now moved
a reconsideration, for the sake Of get
ting 10 a Speech. He made a strong
one, Of course declaring that he could
not vote for the Exchequer because il
came here VIGOROUSLY as an Executive
project, sustained and pressed by The
whole force Of the Presidential power.
He owned that the Stale Bank exper-
iment Of 1S34-7 was a move Of his
party, and had turned out badly. He
thought this matter Of Currency and
Finance belonged entirely to Congress,
and should there be setlled without Ex-
ecutiye intermeddling or party feeling,
He took pains TO cut loose from the
Sub-Treasury, prououncing any such
continuance needless and declaring
the old act Of l7S9, establishing and
defining the duties of the Treasury
Department, sufficient for the regula-
ton ofthe Finances, If duly enforced,
That act stands in foil force, and will
stand I'LL something better is furnished
That act establishes a true 'Indepen-
dent Treasury'-independent Of the
President, but not Of Congress re-
quiring to report 10 congress and moi

House to require Of him any informa.

and not through the President autho.

forgot to say that all this had been il

was sustained in dismission Mr.. Du

he would not become an Executive
