Having received this bill in the committee and being

that nobody could have supposed 1t the that

Of being brought before the House, and considered by it,
But what neNll Why, the report of the gentleman
from Massachusetts came IN and nothing heard Of the
plan OF the Executive. On the contrary nothing was
heard ubut the splendid plan of the Secretary of the
Treasury and the magnificent report accompanying it..

lie would add single word in reply to tho com

usilion of the committed Why that the members of
that House should be called on like men, record their
votes ay or no. for the proposition presented by the Sec
Rotary OF the Treasury, and recommended to their iavora
! bic consideration by the Executive. Did that bar the
legislation o the House, Certainly not, Suppose the
honorable chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means had reporteda bill. fhe had, he Mr.. g. must
be pcrntted 10 say that the business OF the country
would not have been forwarded by it. 1t would have
in behind the bill OF the SECRETARY OF the Treasury
ana llc Dill ol me nohOraDie gentleman from lSSaCI
sets. and thus not probably be reached this session.
Mr.. g. SAID that. If this plan Of the Executive
the Democratic Republican plan for keeping the public
money that was represented 10 be, he wished every
gentleman 10 have opportunity of recording his
upon It, He had voted against the sub reasury and he
wanted new TO have an opportunity OF recording his
vote against this cXchequer plan which lac considered
emphatically sub-reasury, with most powerful
Government Bank engrai,ed upon it. Vie would no,
say thus much Of the plan OF the gentleman from Mossa

less machines he saw though the Of the Exocu
tive the most powerful dangerous, and penicous
gent thai any Government could be possessed Of con
trolling all the commerce Of hecounfrv. and bringing all
its business within the influence of the Executive.
Mr.. e. in conclusion, said he merely say that
if the gentleman from Virginia had seen the result he
expected when the reieehceof this subject made TO
the Committee of Ways and Means, he had the
suit he desired when he gave ii his vote. When the
resolution reported by the committee came up, he hoped
that If there any gentleman here who favored the
plan of the Executive, he would move to strike the
word mot, - 50 to get direct vote for or aoanst it,
II no such motion should be made, he would then
clule that there was not slug lie member present who
was in favor of the plan.
