the Bankrup, Law by Mr.. BucHASAS, &c.
After some pr iva,e business the Oregon biIlcs..
up and was discussed with much yisor and ~,
ssncy by Mr.. McDvyrIE.
He considered it the part of wisdom and pr.
depce, before engaging IN any enterprise, to eO,.
slider well the appropriate time for its commence.
usnt the means for ettecting il, and the ui,im,,
cos, and ultimate benefit likely to be the ressi, !,
seemed to him that the greatest error Of Senator,
in urgins this bill was lack of attention TO ,hs.
important considerations. He regarded our I'D.
70 this territory as uuquesticnable, but tia, Ii.
,resen, was not only the most unsayorah!e timefs
asserting it. but that the country not Of sus.
cient importance to justify the necessary cXpea.
Il was unproductive and very remote, aad ,Asrs
was ne possibility OF its ever becoming connected
with the States of our Union. He heartily reiaics5
in the ratification Of the late treaty, and euog,S
the authors of il; and thonght that now, whea ii.
TWO Nations were congratuaung themselves a,i
each other over its consurmation. was the mo
unnatural and uaprupitious time tor commencing
warlike measures upon subject OF such Compare,
tive ipsignigcancc, and even now matter OF pend
ing negotiation.
He was listened to BY crowded audescs
whose rapt attention testified that although phy.t
cally inhrm ne retains his wonted eloquencs and
powers of intellect.
The question was on motion Of MIR. LlsS pg
over till tomorrow, and after some unimpoy;aa,
business the Senate adjourned.
In the HOUSE, Mr.. WISE from the Select CON-
mttce of last session on the public printing, II.
ported bill to establish Government Office for
printing, binding, and for other purposes. Re.
terred to the Committee of the Whole, when Nr.
w. asked that it be made the special order 70.
some day near at hand. This was not dcne, how.
ever.
Mr.. G. DAVIS moved to go into Committee Of
the Whole on the Union to take up his bill foe The
reduction of the expenses OF The Newfork Gus
tom. House, but the motion was not received, no.
being in order.
The special order, Mr.. FILLMoRE's aatiEn
chequer resolution, (from the Committee Of Ways
and Mcaps) came ap.
MIR. BARSARD made iorcible speech OF an hour
against the Exchcquer scheme, examining its de.
rails and pronouncing it e.ea mole Objectionable
than the Sub Treasury itself. He urged upon h
House the duty, after disposing OF this negatrs
proposition, of some affirmative action at this eE
SION and said if Mr.. Gushing did not move tis
consideration ef the Excheqner in Committee ct
the Whole, he himself should, not with view e
avorins it, but as means of bringing forwardn
an amendment proposition which he intended 10 |
offer and for which he invoked the respectful con
sidcration of the House.
Mr.. WINTHROP urged upon the House the In
perative duty and necessity of passing some rnss
sure 10 bring the public moneys under the Legs
lative control. His first choice was a .. S. Bank
but hc would support many of the provisions Of
the Exchequcr, if no other plan were presented
and if compelled to vote on this resolution, shoua
vote against it, choosing TO remain free to aet@
any measure which was presented, on Its esn
merits. He referred To the attacks on MIR. Web
sser, many of which he considered unreasonsSs I
He did not appear as the defender OF MIR. Wee !
s,er; he disapproved of many Of the sentimentsa d
his Faneuil Hall speech, and regretted their de,
livery; but whether he could fairly be arragned is
inconsistency on the subject OF the Exchequerw
any other subject he had yet to see the evidence
Mr. WIS leading argument, in the speeches trda
which Mr.. Marshall had quoted, against the Sub
Treasury, was the abandonment by j! OF the srea'
duty of the Government to regulate the Exchanges
and Currency; and although, in some other points
inconsistencies might appear, there was none be
tween this doctrine and the Exchequer provisions |
or his Faneuil Hall speech, sc. &c.
Mr.. MARSHALL further eulogized Mr.. Wee
s,ers mighty nteIec, and talents, but argued ihs
this Exchequer scheme was nothing more or less
than Government Bank, and such it VA
annihilated by Mr.. W.'s former speeches, to ha
doctrines of which he (Mr. N.Y. now held. be
devoted considerable time to defining his pos.
lion asserting, as usual, much Independence and
implying sone enmity TO Mr.. Clay, &c. &c.
Mr.. DAVIS of Ky. explained with reference
bis former speech.
After the presentation Of Executive cemmuula.' !
tions and some irregular business, the House 'a'
journed. Argus
