"Mr. Dallas said, that being called
TO vote on the passage of the bill, he
felt il TO be his duty to maze brief state
mentto the Senate, He had been return
cd to the Senate on the list of srockhol-.
ders, as holding part Of the stock in the
bank. As soon as he found that this sub.
jcct would come in for discussion, he had
directed the stock which he held in the in
stitution to be sold Ii had been sold, he
had received the amount Of The sd 'es, aud
had no longer any interest in the bank..!"
Let this explanation be read with aten-
ton. It's rich. So fearful was MI. DaI-I
las, that when the trying hour came he
should be debarred from voting in favor
OF the bill, and took the precaution to sell
his stock, pocket the proceeds, and thus
stand before the Senate" redeemed, re-
generated and dIsenthralledm And in
this, too, doubtless he was d" bound by his
instructions" Could impudcnce or me
dacily 20 farther, when such a pretence
was set up? Let the Argus and its read
ers answer.
But Mr.. Dallas has not yet left the stand.
July 3, the tariff was under consideration,
when the following proceedings were
had
"mr. Dallas moved to lay the bill on
the table, in order to take up message
Just received from the House Yeas 26.
1.-The Senate then proceeded to consid-
er the message; which communicated the
passage of the bill to modify and contin-
ue TO act TO incorporate the subscribers to
the bank of the United States, with an
amendment.
"The amendment allows all the branch
es now existing in any State, where they
are more than two 10 continue.
'EOn motion Of Mr.. Dallas, the Senate
concurred in the amendment"
Here we find Mr.. Dallas, as was very
proper on his part, acting as sponsor TO
his cherished offspring. To none else,
did this duty so appropriately belong
The celebrated "Veto" made its Gp-
pearance July 10, ard then came up tie
question, "Shall the bill pass, notwith-
standing the objections Of the President?"
Debates were had thereon, when the vote
was taken and resulted as (ollows:--
Yeas--Messrs. Buckner, Chambers,
Clay, Clayton, DALLAS, Foot, Freling-
huysen, Hendricks, Holmes, Johnston,
PoIndexter, Prentiss, Robinson, RuggIes,

Mr.. Dallas can now retire We have
traced his progress from the inception TO
the final disposition Of the "bank" ques-
ton. We might have multiplied to an
almost indefinite eXten', the record Of
votes on the incidental and collateral
questions which arose during the consid-
GRAFTON OF this bllI.--ln eUery instance
will Mr. D's name be found associated with
Messrs. CLAY, FRELlNHUYsEN, Ewing WEB
sTER, &c, and in opposition to each and
all the amendments offered by Messrs.
BENTON, FORSYTH, MARCY, VIM E, and 9TH
or opponents Of the bill. In view of the
fact, let the reader again peruse the sin
structions," and form his own opinion, Of
the extent of the unbIushing love Of false
hood and Misrepresentation, which can
deliberately assert that Mr. Dallas voted
"under Instructions" and against the con-
victons Of his own conscience. The pre-
tence is too fimsey 1.-The assertion too
barelaced--Not one Of the Sena tors took
more active part in the progress of this
