Mr..DAWES (Isep., Mass said they had under
stood that the adoption of the Bank bill was merely
TO give an opportunity to introduce system OF Ma
tienal banking under that measure, 1t being express
understood that there should be no coercion. Now,
she proposition OF the Senate, if adopted, would
pbanee the tax which was fixed in the bill and Oh
tained majority i'll this House, namely, from , pei
centum to per centum. The second objection was
that it would place the Government in hostility
against the banking interests Of the country, and al
the industrial interests connected herewith Ii wal
a proclamation 10 the banking interests, that such
present attitude and such the strength of the Gov.
srnmeut that il could afford TO place itself in hostile
array and crush them ont. The banking institutions
of New-Y York not only lent TO the Government every
dollar bat three for every two they had. With u
capital of hundred and eight millions, they lent
their cash and credit to the extent OF one hundred

1lr. KELLOGG REP, ILL., said the country was
tired OF hearing the eternal complaint Of the banks
end the wrongs they suffered at the hands Of the
Government.
Mr. COLFAX said he voted for the Bank bill be.
cause the Secretary OF the Treasury declared that
was necessary 70 strengthen the credit of the Gov.
ernment. Tie result OF the passage of that measure
was that the bonds, which were 1T 30 cents, had
gone up to par. We made all branches of industry
pay taxes, and taxed promissory notes &C., and he
Thought the banks, being patriotic, would not con-
pay the tax.
MIR. THOMAS rep, Mass.) said the tax pro-
posed was no. for revenue, but to destroy State
banking institutions. 1t was 10 restrain local cir
sulaton 10 give force and effect TO the new Bank
bill. 1t was @ part of the policy OF the Govern
nent TO lake into its hands the powers Of the States
The House, by a vote of Is against IS, refused 10
