Tais, Mr. B. said, was one of the evidences of pilt»?« ! pros perity which the report contained; and which utterly contradicted the idea of distress' .mid commercial embarrassment wnich hid ht?eu propagated, from the Chamber, for the lasi six months. Mr. B. proceeded to the next evidence of commercial prosperityit was in he iner ased in lortatims of foreign goods. These imports, (edging from the five firs months, would be ! seven millions more than they were two years ag », when me Bank of th'* Unt'ed S res had seventy millions launed out; and they w *re weary millions more than in the time of Mr. \d ns’ adm.nistiation.

The next evidence of commercial prosperity which \I . B w rid x.itoti mme Senile, was in the increased and number of ar I' iv ils from foreign par’s.

A nurd evidence of ua ural prosperity was in t'ue sales of the pu’ili'* lands. Mr- B had, on a for nei occasion, advened to these sales, so tar as the first q u tei.WiS concerned; and ! had shown that ins.ead of falling off, as had be>*n ir -diet 'd on this tlo >r, the revenue from tim sales »f Hies-' lands ii.id actually doubled, an t n »r>* th m d » i >led, wh it hey w<*re in the firs, qi u ter of 1M33. rie receipts for lands, for nit quiri.-r. were. $668,526; lor the fi st I . q i i'iei of Ihe present year ney w rw, $1 398,-' 296; being tw > to one, and 860 OdO over ! ) J L ite receipts for me two first mon'hs of th“ second quarter, were also known, and would carry me revenue tr im lands ior the firs, five inmitiS ot ti s y ar, io tw » millions of dollars; mcludmg five millions lor me whole yeai; an ; euirmous amount, from which the People of I • tie new States ought to be, in some dejn e, relieved, by a red iction in the puce ot i nds.

I wis then predicted, and the pred" ii'in put forth with all tne boldness it nit di ble propneev, mat the removal ol de posites would slop ine sales of ihe public lands; ih it money would disappea> ; and the P ople it <ve nothing to bay wi n ; ma’ tne produce of me eerth would tot upon ih** hands ot the far mer.

He had admitted the fact of that distress heretofore, not to the extent to which it was charged, but to a sufficient extent io excite sympathy for the sufferers; and he had distinctly charged the whole distress that did exist to th Bank of the Uni ed States, and the Senate of the United States—to the screw and pressure operations of the B ink, and the ala rn speeches in the Senate. He had made his .huge; and made il under a full sense ofthe moral responsibility which he owed io the People, in affirming any thing frmn this elevated theatre. He had,there fore, <rjven his proofs to accump my the ch uge; and he had now to say to the Senate, and through the Senate to the People, that he found new proofs for that charge in the detailed staie ineiits of tiie accruing revenue, which had been called for by the Senate, and furnished by the Secretary of the Treasury.—Mr. B. said he must be pardoned for repeating his request to me Senate, to recollect how often they had b'*en told 'hat trade was paralyzed; (hat orders so. foreign goods were countermanded; that (he importing cities were the pictures < I desolation; .lieu s ip- idle; theii whaives deserted; ihei.r mariners w-mueriug up and down. Now, s.id i M.- 8., Hi . > »kuig over the detail d state.mill J of the accruing revenue, it was found that there was nu> decline of commerce, except . M ■ - where iie policy an power ofil.e United States , Bank was predmnmaut! Where that powei or policy was predominant, revenue declined : where it w <s not predominant, or ihe policy of tie Bmk, not c-xerted, he revenue increased, and increased sirs( enough to make up ihe de ficiency at the other fibres. Vlr. B. proceed eu to verify this s a emc-fi! by a reference to speeffied places. Tuns, al P Jadelpllia, wheie the Bat?k holds Us seat ofempirP? bhe reve nue fell off ibout out-tiiud; it was 797 316 dollars for the first qu uter of 1833, >ud only 542,498 for i*be fii->t quarter ot 1834. At New York, where the bmk has not been able to get the upjei band, there was an increase of more than $l2O 000; the revenue there for the first quarter of 1833, was $3,122,166; for the first 0i’1534, it was 249,786. A< Bos ton, where ihe Bank is aga-m predominant, Hie revenue fell off about one-third ; at Salem (Miss) it tell off four-fillhS. Al Baltimore, wuere ihe Bank nas been defeated, there was ia UKToase in itie revenue ol uore than $70,- 000 ; i Riemnond, Hie .evetiue was doubled, bom $12,034 to $23,810; at Ch irleslon, it wis increased tram to 102,810; at Piiersmirg, u was siigutly iticreased; and Hironguout all the region S. of me Potomac, here was eutier an mcie .se, or the slight tail ing ts vuic.u mgm resul. f <>m diminish'd du- ies wnm'ut dim.nistied imperial ions.— di.

Mi. B. paused to fix in: itteiiiou of (he Sen tie upon these facts. tVhere the power of ihe Bank enabled her to depress commerce and si «k the levemie, and tier policy per anted her io do it, commerce was depressed, find the rovenue was sunk, and the prophecies of ihe distress or dots were ful filled, but where her policy required adds rent course, commerce mere sed, and me revenue increised, and the result oi f«n wi,'»ie is dm New York and some other aiiU-bmk cities, have gained wind Pniladelphia and oilier bank cities have lost, and hefeder d lr a-ury is just as well off, as it it had got its accusioim d sup ply from every place. This view ol tacts, Mr. B. said, must fasten upon ihe minks the odium of having produced all the real commercial disiress wmeh has been felt; but at one point, at New Orleans, there wis further evidence io convic her of , wanton and wicked oppression. It was ' not in the Secretary’s reports, but it was in rtie weekly returns of the Bank; and snowed that in ihe lu-g n mg of xMarcn, ihai msum | non had earned offirom her brain ii in New I ■ Means (he smn o' about BUU.OOU dollars m specie, which H nad been collecting all the winter by a wanton curtailment, under me pretext ot supplying tiie amomit ofthe depot lies taken from Her at that place. i’hese 800,000 doihrs .vore collected from ihe New Orleans merchants m the Very criMs of ihe ar rivals of western produce. liie merchants were pressed to pay debts, when .hey ought to have b- eii aecomm »d.ned with loans.

This tact, said xVlr. B , would have been proved from the bonks of me Bank, it mey aad been inspected. Failing m ttiai, Urn proof was in telligibly found in me weekly returns. Mr. B. had a fur tier v.ew to give of the prosperity of the couu'ry, and further evi<l nee io show that all the Ois rcss really suffeied, was factitious and unnatural. It was m ihe great increase of money m the last year and a half.

He was of opinion, that two (nJlions ought to be added for sums not enter ed at itie Custom-house, which would make twelve nnllmns; and added to the six millions of 1833, would give eighteen millions of spe cie oi clear gam io the country in the last iwenty momhs. J his, he said, was prosperi ty. It was wealth its?clt’; and besides, it showed that the coumry was not in debt ior its larger unporiations, and that a larger proportion of foreign impor s now consisted ol specie that was ever known before. Mr. B, particularised the imports and exports of gold; how tho form- ) -•r hid increased, and the lauer diminished, during the lasi few rnomhs; and said (hat a. c great amount of gold, bom foreign a- I domes tic, was now waning in ihe country to see it Congress would r use gold to i'a Imr value If so raised, this gold would r< main, and enter mto circulation; if no., r wo ild immediately go of? o foreign co.minus, lor gold was not n thing to stay wheie> was undervalued.
