Mr.. CALHOUN said he could see no such great
difference between paying these drafts TO the public
creditor, and sending them TO the place at which
thsy were made payable, receiving the money, and

this did not In his opinion the sub-treasury might
be oyerthrown in two ways-hrst, by dvesting II Of
all eonyenenees and subjecting It to high degree Of
Inconvenience, so as to make Il offensive and odious;
and secondly, by running into what was called the
paper system. He did not apptehend any danger
from the latter under this bill, and the adoption Of
the measure .ow proposed would obyiate the former
difficulty.
Without acting on the amendment, the Senate adj
