WASHINGTON, Jan. Z, so.
SENATE


An Executive message was received
from tie President of the United States,
by the hands of Col. Bliss.
The resolution Of Mr.. Clemens, calling
for information as 10 the appointments OF
and Instruction Of agents in California and
calling also, for the ground os General
Iaylor's opinion, as given in his mes
sage, that New J8exico would soon ask
for admission into the Union, was taken
up.
Mr. Miller moved to strike out the last
clause.
Mr.. Rusk objected, on theground that
the executive had directly intcrfcrcn in
opposition to the interests and rights OF
sovereign State.
Mr.. Clemens said the information was
wanted, and there was nothing in the re-
solution that the President ought not to
answer. Ills was not purpose of par
tisnnship. The question was above that.
The Legislature of his State had called
his attention to this subject Was there
y man who was to he brought to swal-
lowihe Wilnot ProsiSo, administered in
new form? Were The Senators to be
treated like sick children, and coaxcd TO
swallow a nauseous dose by calling it by
another name? The Executive had d.
lccily inteifcred, and brought about the
same result as if tie Wilmot Proyiso had
been passed by Congress, and approved
by ;he President.
TIE resolution was postponed on mo
ton of Mr.. Douglas, by the casting vote
of the Vice President.
MIR. Foote offered resolution for the
election of chaplain. Lies over.

THE BANK.

THE BANK
In our opposition to this institution, we have
endcavorel 10 confne ourselves strictly to the
point in issue, and have not allowed ourselves to
run wild after some ftnciful chimela, or to
make statements which were not strictly true
But if popular rumor is tO be relied ON, some Of
our opponents have not 50 limited themselves,
but have sought to stGve off the true issue by
tlrning popular favor By unfair statements, and
by dragging into the contest matters foreign to
the question. Ii is not the object or aim uf The
opponents OF the Bank Of the State TO abolish
eur cncy; for 'n the contrary as body, they
arc in favor Of Banks and are only opposed to
IN union Of State and Bank. We are not pre-
pared however to say that the friends of the
Bank Of the State are so disposed, for unless We
are rgregiously mistaken mere than one cham
pion Of that Institution declared on the or of
the State House that if this pet Bank was abol-
ished, that all the other Banks in the State
should meet the samc fate. We ask our read
crs then to bear in mind that the real question
is, Shall the Safe rs q State be engaged in
Banking AMI not whether We shall have n pa
per cuircncyl This question has been dragged
in by the friends of the bank to mid their pur-
poses, aad is entirely foreign to the issue made
by the opposors of the Bank. How then, can
any one say that Norris and Hunter vc;ed to
abolish all paper currency, when all who know
anything of the history Of the last Legislature
must know that ne such question was agiated
We would refer eur readers to the journals of
the House, and there they will find that the
votes of these two members were only given to
close this Bank that handles so much of the
funds ofthc State to so little purpose. If we
are not miSinformcd, some of the friends OF the
BAnk, not many years since sought to imp ess
the people ofthls District with the notion that
we ought to have nothing but gold and silver
coin, and they may know by experience the dis.
advantages Of this doctrine.
Then i'll going on we would notice no,, he
assertion that the Bank is pay ing off tie 5 g
debt by the interest Oh the capital Anl re
let us say that nothing is farther from the .ru,h
for the Bank did not make du ing Tie last year

IFc extract Tie following sensible re-
marks, on the subject o. the Bank from
the Spartan of the tenth inst.
We believe the Bank to he, not only
inexpcd'n, and dangerous, but contrary
to the plain, honest and republican sys-
tenn of eceiying and disbursing the mon
ey Of the people, by tax collectors and
treasurers; by which simple plan, the pco
plc can know, OF the public funds, how
much they have, who holds it, to whom
and how much is paid out, for what pur-
poe &c., without committees and iont
committees; Wi hout volumes of reports
and counter-reports, endless speeches,
cumimtions and rcciiminatiors, cxtrava-
giant salaries, costly palaces, and above all
without nursery for cIinging parasites,
and proud mcndicnts. Another, and
yet more po;cnl objection to this institu,
ton is, that It's coptrol over the public
funds, is almost unlimited, being in many
instances, greater than the Legislature
itSelf-ha'ing the power to run the
State in debt TO any amount, without the
knowledge or consent of that body or of
the people.
