10 the House. the resolution recnm
n,ended in the report Of the Commiaee
Of Why's and Means ON the excheouer
was debsted bysMr. B!DLAcx.of Pennsyl
vatiia. The proposition Of the commit.
Tee is, that THO b,lt for tho es,abi shmen,
Of tie exsheqOer ougl, NOT 10 pass, Mr.
CUSHING moved 10 strike out the word
NOT" and 50 bring the vote &c the
House OF, the affirmative proposition "a
ihat II ought sopass. Tho debate, Tor the
present, theretogc, turns upon the word
NOT; and y, upon i, we suppose, we shall
have discursiss augmentation, ranging
through the wholo field Of politics
There is not the slightest intention OH
the part "f the prcsen. majority in the
House to do any thing useluI,y on the sub
Ject Of the finances, or any other matter
Of national interest. Nothing is letter
understood than the TACT, that the nation
IS opposed to tho paper-money schemes
of both sections Of Whiggery: hence
they will unite on no measure; but will
leave all open, in the hope that, by sspul.
trring in a double sense,'' as in 1910. in
the approaching canvass for the Presi.
dency they may reach full power again
aud then disclose their real. dc signs,
when they have The authority to carry
them into effect; aud, under the pre,ex,
Of vested rights, rivcl their incorporated
Government establishments upon re.
luc,an, people.
II is very appropriate, therefore, tina,
the discussions of the. present Congress
should all turn upon the word NOT
The daily congressional dra .1a is "Mucl,
ado about nothing" The present ma
jori,y succeed in their purpose, when
they c,rry the vote not to do anything
aud il they could only undo oil that they
have done in their three extraordinary
sessions, they would be muc!, better sat
istcd with the condition in which they
arc shortly to appear before their con
s,ituents. Sensible Of this, they have
andeavored 20 blot GU, some Of their mos
obnoxious acts. The Bankrup. law
(passed at the extra SESSION. they nave
passed upon. condemned, aud repealed
10 the distribution scheme was
all small with Mr.. CLAY-h;s friends are
willing to sing lullaby, aud keep it fas
asleep for some time to conae. Tire Ma
,ional Bank they will consent, with Mr.
WEBSTER, shall remain an obsolete des
rnti: after the mex. presidential election
and i: they could onl contrivc 10 revive
the independent treasury, which they
Killed at the extra session, so that they
might have something democratic TO at
tack, and charge .with all the mischief:
and disresses their paper money AM
credit system have brought on tho coun
Try, they would be most happy. But, a.
these reforming politicians canao. undo
al! that they have done. the next bes
thing, they conclude, is no, TO do any
thing more. The word not is. then, til,
