The Slates would be strengthen-j cd by having in their hands the n.eans ot fur* iu bing the local paper currency through their u\n banks, while the Bank of the U. States, though issuing no paper, would check the is sues of the S ate Banks, by taking their notes in d<*posite, and for exchange, only so long as they continue to be redeemed with specie. In^ t-n 8 of public emergency, the capacities of s ch an institution might be enlarged by legis lation provision. These suggestions are made, not so much as a recommendation, as with a view of calling the attention of Congress to the possible modi fications of a system which cannot coutinue to exist in its present form, without occasional collision with the local authorities, and perpet ual apprehensions and discontent on the part of the S -ti s and the people. In conclusion, fellow-citizens, allow roe to invoke, in behalf of your deliberations, that spirit of conciliation and disinterestedness, which is the gift of patriotism. Under an over riding and merciful Providence, the agency ol t!iis spirit has thus far been signalized in the prosperity and glory of our beloved couutry May its influence be eternal. ANDREW JACKSON.

O- m /Hon of Mr. Alston, if was Ordered, That when the House adjourns, it Unit there was a difference of opinion, at least in his quarter of th6- House,' as to 4he order which should be taken in attending the trial of Judge Peck in the Senate of the United States. Some were ol opinion that the House should attend in a body; oi hers thought that it would only be necessary for tbe managers on the part <Sthe II u-ertoattend during theirisil At the last sessiop, said Mr. J tbe House were in attendance; and. it was thought by rba ny members that, the same course ivould be pursued at this session. Tie wished lor his own part, to have a correct under standing of the subject, and he would thank the chair lo give to tiie House bis opinion as to the course that -hould be pursued. The SPEAKER stated, that the resohuir.n of th/- House at the last session, was confined lo its attendance bi;li»re the Court ot impeach ment 4or a single.day. Th^ Clerk, htnvever, would read the resolution. fTlie Resolution having been read, which was in effi.-ct, that the House would in a body atteisd in the Senate Chamber for a certain day, to support the charges against Judge Peck.] Vtr. Buchanan rose, and obrerred, that there seemed to be a misnuderstanding upon ihe subject. With tae permission of the House he would st ive th** course that had been pursued by the managers. They had examined alt the precedents which had occurred in tips country, to guide- tfapm to a cori ecl 'performance of their duty. Il was ascertained that, since the adofHi'in of the prtseyl Constitution, there had beeli three inrpenchmt nts, riz.* those of -Vlessrs Blount, and Pickering, and Judg*Ch»£e‘. On Ihe trial of Ihe two first, the House did pot attend in a body, but left if to flic'managers tp cohchict the impeach ment; onf he trial of. Judge Chase they did attend every day. It not being considered by the managers of the pending trial that any principle, so itnpprtiiiit its t£ in terrupt the' Legislative business of tbe (louse, was revolv ed in tbe present case, they hud gone to The Senate this day, as munug- rs, and pr senUd to that body the replica tion agreed upon by tiie House. Mr. B. further remark* d, that he had consulted Ibe English precedents. On the trial ofWarren Hastings, the(louse of Commons at'end- ed at -ilie commeusemeiit of the trial, but they did not continue to do so. On the trial of the Earl of MaecT s- fielci, they did not attend until bis conviction by the House ■ f Lords, and then they attended in consequence of a message having been sent them by that body, that they were ready to pronounce judgment on the icipeached, if tbtf House of Commons would attend anti dcmand.it. Mr, B. would not advocate die attendance or non at tendance of tbe House at tbo. trial which was to lake place. He bad-felt it to be his duty to state the course which had beeu pursued on previous occasions of impeach ment, and what bad been done by the managers in the present case, and to state that his sole object-was to do that which would best please the Rouse. No motion having been made this morning on-lhe subject, the mana gers had fult it to be.their-Mnpcratiye duly to attend at the bar of the Senate, and present the replication which hud been agreed npow. *. > - ,L. Mr. Johnson, -of Ky. said, tbatone great object of his rising had been to obtain from tiie managers an explana tion of the course which they bad taken. - For his part - e wanted to go on with the public' business. He recol- >ctci, however, the great debate in tbe Semite at the lust -essiun, and that it whs nearly impossible to retain a quo- «*im of the House; (fit were probable such would be tbe ease on the present occasion, and tbe House should be orupelied to adjourn from day to day for wa nt of a quo- un how. much soever be wished the public business at- >*p Vj c ).
