REMARKS
or
MR. CALIIOU N,
In the Senate of the I 'mint State*, on the mi.
authorising the issue of Tki;\-I’kv Notks.
(Caultimed )
I will explain my views. A bank-note cir
vnlales not merely on account id the crcd.t
ot the institution by wlucli it is issued, but be
cause Government receives it like gold and I
•liver in all its due.*, and thus adds its own <
credit to that of the bank. I', in (act, virtual
ly endorses oa the note of every specie paying
bank “receivable by Government pt its dues."
To understand boar greatly this adds to ih
circulation of bank notes, we must remember
that Government is the great money denier of
the country, and the bolder of immense pub
lic domains, and that it has the power of cen
ting a demand against every citizen "s h-gh
aa it 'pleases, in the shape of lux or duty,
which can be discharged, as the law now is,
only by bank notes or gold and silver. This,
of course, cannot but add greatly to the credit
of bank notes, and contribute much to llictr
circulation, though it may be difficult to de
termine with any precision to what extent.
It certainly is very great. For why is it that
"an individual of the first credit, whose re
sponsibility is so indisputable, that his friend
of equal credit endorses his nolo fur nothing,
should put his with Ins friends, being their
joint credit, into a bank, and lake out the
notes of the bank, Which is in fact but the
credit of the bank itself, and pays six per
cent, discount between the credit of himself
and Ins friend and that of the hank 1 The
.known and established credit of the bank
.may be one reason, but there is another and
powerful one. The Government treats the
credit of the hank as gold mid silver in nil its
transactions, mid docs not licat (lie credit of
individuals in the same manner. To test the
truth let us reverse the ens', and suppose (he
Government la treat (ho Joint credit of (bo in
dividuals as money, and not the credit of tho
bank, and is itjnot obvious tli itinstoad of b tr
rowing from the bank and paying six percent
discount, the bank would be glad to borrow
from him on the same terms. From this we
may perceive the powerful influence which
bank circulation derives from the connection
with the credit ot the Government.
It follows ns a necessary consequence, that
to tho extent of this influence, the italics of
the hanks expand mol contract with the ex
pansion nml contraction uflhe fiscal notion of
the Government; with iho increase of its duties,
taxes,income and expenditure; with the depos
its in iis vaults actingas additional capital,and
thojamount o'bank miles withdrawn, in conse
quence, from circulation ; all ol which must
directly affect tho amount of their business
and issues, and bank currency must of course
partake of all (Im-c vibrations to which llm
; iiscol action of the government ts necessarily
exposed, and wh in groat mid siiddon, must
expose the system to oataatrophios, such ns
<we now witness. In fact, a more suitable in
stances cannot bo selected, to illusljulu Un
truth of what I assert, than the present ; as 1
shall proceed to show :
To understand tho causes which have led
to the present stale of thing.'-, wu must go
back to the year 1821, when tho tariff sys
tem triumphed In congress—a system which
imposed tint io->, not tor tho purpose of reven
ue, hullo encourage tho industry ofunc por
tion of the Union nt the expense ol the other.
This was followed up by the net of 1828,
which coftsnmnnied lie system. It rained tho
dufieaso extravagantly, .that on', nt m minimi
importation ;r- ,ty-i, n■ n, - -, th ty-iwn
paused into Uni treasury: that ton eminent
look ono-hali' lurlho liberty n; m rocio. i ig the
oilier. Countless millions went *ms poured
into tho treasury beyond the wnnin of the
Government, which became in tme the
source oftlio most extravagant expenditures.
This vast increase of receipts mid expemli.
turns, was followed by a cm responding e.\.
panaton of the business of the banks. They
iir.d to discount and issue freely '•> cnilile Sin
merchants to pay their duty bunds, us well as i
to meet the vastly iniiri-uaed ex lendilnres ol
tho Gnvernmont, Another eif-et 101 l owed llm
set of 1828, which gave a still farther exptm
. sion to the action uflhe banks, mid which is
• worthy of notice. It turned the exchange
with England in favor of this country. That
portion of tho proceeds of our exports, which
■ in consequence of Iho high duties, could no
longer return with profit, in the usual articles,
which wc had been in thu habit ot receiving
principally from that country in exchange lor
our exports, returned in gold ami silver, in nr.
- tier to purchase similar articles ai the mirth.
This wastin' first pause which gave that wes
tern direction lo the piocinus metals, the re
vulsive return of which has been followed by
ao many disasters. With the ox linnge in
our lavur, and consequently no demand sot !
gold and silv r abroad, nml tho vast demand
for money attendant on tut increase of lie re. i
venue, almost every restraint was removed on j
. the discounts nml esues oflhe banks, cspcci 1
ally in the northern section oflhe Union,where ,
these causes principally operated. With
their increase, wages and price of every de
scription rose in .proportion followed of course
by an increased demand on tho banks for fur
ther issues. This is Iho true cause of 11ml
expansion of the currency, which began about
the commencement of the Into administration;
but which was erroneously changed by it to
the Bank oftlio United ISla'es. It rose out of
the action of the Government, Tho bank in
creasing its business, noted in obedience to ilie
condition of things al Iho time, and in confor
mity with the bunks gonornlly in tho same
section. It was nt tins juncture that the late
administration came into power—a juncture
remarkable in many respects, but more espe
cially in relation to the question of the cur
rency. Mont of the causes which have since
terminated in the complete prostration ot the
' banks and the commercial prosperity of the
country were in full activity.
Another cause about that time, (I do nit
remember the preese date,) began to produce
powerful effects; I refer to the last renewal
of the charter of the Bank of England, it
was renewed for ten years, and among other
provisions, contained one making the notes of
that bank a legal tender in all cages except be
tween the bank and its creditors. The effect
was to dispense still further with the use oftlio
precious metals iu that commercial country,
which, of course, caused them to flow out in
every direction through the various channels
of its commerce. A largo portion took then
direction hitherward, ami served still further
to increase the current which, from causes al
ready enumerated, was flowing so strongly in
this direction, and winch still further increa
sed the force of tho reluming current, on the
turn of the tide.
The administration did not comprehend
the difficulties and dangers which surround
ed it. Instead of perceiving the true rea
son of the expansion of the currency
and adopting the measures necessary to
arrest if, they attributed it to the Bank oflhe
U. S., slid made it the came or pretext lor
waging war on that institution. Among the
first sets of hostility, tke depusitts were re
moved, and transferred lo selected Stale
Banka: the effect of which, instead of resia
ting the tendency to expansion, was to throw
off the only restraint ihst held the banking
institutions of the country in check; and of
course gave to the swelling fide, which was
destined to desolate the country, a powerfu
impulse. Banks sprung up in every direction:
discounts and issues increassd almost without
limitation; and an immense surplus revenue
accumulated in the depocte banks, winch as.
ter the payment of the public debt the most ex
travagant spur pn.ilmns could not exhaust,
and winch acted as add.tional Li g capi
tal; the waluc of money duly depreciated:
1 prices rose, am] ihence c' - r.-.r.-,*r,coJ those v.:t-;
; hounded speculations, particularly in public |
, lands, which was tmnsletrod, by millions of;

I worthless bank notes, tiil at length (he swell- I
' mg flood was checked and the revulsive cur j
| rent burst its barr era, and overspread and do-
I solute i the I md.
The first check came from the Bank ol j
- England, which, ahiinied ut lue hiss ol it.*
precious metals, refused lo discount American
bills, in order to prevent a further decrease l
of its cash means, nml cause a return of those |
, which n li.nl lost, 'l'lien followed the execu-
, 1 turn of the deposits act, which, instead ot a .
remedial measure, as it might have Lorn
, made, if properly executed, was made the in
strument of weakening the bank- nt the point |
] of pressure,especially in thegroat metropolis |
i of the Union, where so large a portion of the j
t surplus revenue was accumulated. And,
finally, the Treasury order, w!nc i stil further
’ weakened those banks, by withdrawing Ilnur j
’ - cash means to be invested in public linds in |
! i the west.
\ Ilia often easy lo prevent wlidt cannot bo
' remedied, winch tho present instance string- j
j iy illustrates. If iheadaimistriitnidliad formed :
a true conscplion of thu danger in tunc, what :
’ has since happened might have then been
I easily averted. Trie near oppr ach of the I
expiration ol ihe charter of the United Ml a tea
’ Bank would have afforded ample means of
, i slay ng tho desolation, if if had been timely
, I ami properly used. 1 saw it then,and purpose
[; od lo renew the charter, fur a limited period, !
|- with such inudilkationa aa would have elf-ct-
I uiilly resisted the increasing expansion of tho
1 currency; and, at the name time, gradually i
I and li tally wear out the connexion between i
, I banks and the Government. To use the ex-j
\ ' premium I then used, "to unbaiik the bulks,” 1
.. j to let down lie; system easily and mi to effect .
thesep iration bet-.vr :a the bmk ami the Cio
\ j vornnient, a.c lo avoid Iho p■: .ability of tint
i slci k winch 1 then st .v was inevitable with
j | out some such remedy. The moment was
eminently propitious. The precious me'ulii
I j were ll living in on us from every qmrer; and
f I the vigor-ms neasures 1 purpose.l to adopt in
,! the renewal of tho charter would have ' li'-'ct
| Hilly arrested tho increase of hank-, and
j checked the excess of their discounts and
Hies; so lint the nccutnukittug miss of gri d
and silver, instead ol In ing co iverlo.l into
I bunk capital nml swelling Ihe tide of paper
circulation, would hav; ti'am substituted in
I the place i lt' hank males, ;m a porm ineiu nml
wholesome addition to tho currency ol tli-;
country.
I But neither lltu nJiiiinislraliou nor the op*
. position sustained me, and tho precious op
, porluinly passed iinsniz-id. 1 then clearly
( saw tliu coining ciilaiiniy was inevitable, and

' lew 'words, the ti-si mcreumi which the tarilf
’ »(TB2i Slid 'tit gave l'i Ihe lis-il action of
the Government, coiiibiin.- 1 with Hi ; can- - ■ 1
1 hive enumerated, gave the first impulse lo
the expansion of ihe currency, 'l'liesc iu
turn gave that extraordinary nnpm'su to over
' trading nml spocnlalion (they are efi'.icl., and
' not causes,) uli eh has 1 111 illy lerniinnted iu
’ thu present calamity. It may thus In mlun- i
atoiy tlaced to ihe connexion between the j
1 banks and tho Government; and it is mil a
' litilo remarkable that the siispen.-uon nf spo i ■
payments in IHlti in tins country, and that ill
' 17117 m Great Britain, were produced by
like causes.
There is imollirr reason against llm union nf
-1 tlx* Ci i 11 nmi'll( nml the hanks, intimately con
I ■ i ic.l with that under consideration, which I I
‘ shall next proceed to Hale, ll gives a preference i

impossible, us 1 have said, to ascertain with unv
precision lo wliut extant their issi.es and eireulu
■ion depend upon it, but it certainly constitutes a
large proportion, A single illustration may
tlllow light upon ibis point. Suppose the Gov*
erninonl were lo lake up Iho veriest beggar in the
street and enter into a contract with him, that no
thin;: should he received in ilsdue.sor for the sales
of its public lands in fuluro, except gold and sil
ver nml his promisory notes,.and that ho should
have the use oftlio public funds, from the timo oi

[, j all must at knowledge could not ho justly router*
.. ( red on any number of miincorpoiiiied individuals!
t . j 1 stale not those views with inv intention ol
~ bringing down odium on hanking institutions.—
I have no unkind fooling towards them w hatever.
, Ido not hold them lesponsiblo for the present
slate of things, ll has giown up gradually .with
out either Iho hanks or Iho community perceiving
e the consequences, which have followed the eon
1 ncxion between them. My object is to stale fuels
e as they exist, that tho truth may bo seen in lime
|by nil. This is an age of investigation. The
I public mind is broadly awake upon this all mi
e ! portent subject, ll slice:* the interests and con
,l ditiunoftho whole community, mid will tv in
l 1 vesligaled to the bottom. Nothing will be loft
r unexplored, ami ii is for the interest of hath the
if i banks and of tho community, that the evils inei
. | dent to the connexion should he fully understood, ;
I : in time, and Ihe connection be gradually tormina-
J ted, before sueli convulsions shall follow as to I
I sweep away the w hole system, with its advanla
() | ges as well as its disadvantage.-.
s I Hut it is not only between citizen anil citizen '
' that the eomiextion is unfair and unequal. Ii i>
j a* much so between olio portion of the country
I and another. The connection oflhe Government
( j with the hanks, whether it be with a combination |
: of Slate hanks, or with a national institution, will I
"i necessarily centralize tho action of the system,at
the principal point of collection and disbursement, I
.; and at which the mother bank, or the head of the |
league of.Stale hunks must he located. Fiom
■j that point the whole system, through the cornice- ;
' lion with the IJoveruinent will be enabled to con- 1
i trul lha exchanges hath at homo und ivliroad; and
' with it the commerce, foreign and domestic, in
-5 eluding exports und imports. After what has
r j boon said, these points will require but li'lle illns
' trulian. A single one will l>e sulli ieiU ; und 1
- will luke. as iu Iho former instance, thul of an

Suppose, then, the Government, at the com
mencement of sis ape rut ion, hud selected an in
; dividual merchant, at any one point in (lie I nion.
f say New York, and hail connected ilsell wilh him

; lion until iheir disburseniont, ami of teeeiviug j
I and paying uwuy.in all ils transactions nothing

. is it not manilo-l, that a decisive control would lie :
given to ihe port where he resided, overall the!
others: that hi* promissory notes would circulate
* \ every wine, through alt the ramifications of com*
, I mercc; that they would regulate exchanges; that 1
' j they would be the medium of paying duly bonds; j

! the trifling advantage* wlii h a branch or depoaile
| bank would give in the tafe keeping of the pub-
J lie revenue, wool I lie a* nothing, compared to the
hove* canned to their rornmeree by centralizing
the inieil artion of the eotintry tt a remote point.
Other gen lernari can speak for their own section;
lean speak with confidence of that, which 1 have
the honor in pa tto represent. The entire staple
■flatty. I bel a deep conviction, bank* and all,
would, in the end, he great gainer* by the dissev
erance, whatever might he the temporary incon
venience. Ifthere beany other section, in which
the i fleets would lie different, it would lie but to
ccnfitrn the views which I have presented. t
An connected with this, there is a point well
deserving consideration. The union between
bank and government is not only a main source
of that dangerous expansion and conlnclian in
the banking system, which I have already illus-
Irated, but in also one of the principal causes of
that powerful and almost irresistible tendency to
the increase of hanks which even its friends see
and deplore. I dwelt on this point on a former
occasion, (on Mr, Webster’s motion to renew the
bank charter in 1833,) and will not repeat what I
| then s aid. Hut in addition to the causes then
: enumerated, there are many others very power
l fnl,and among others the one under consideration.
They all may ho summed up in one gener;-',
cause. We have made hanking too profit
fir. very far 100 profitable; and, I mav ; jj > j n .
flocn'.ial. 0n« of the most ample sources of
this pn lit and inflnen o may L>i (raced, as I
have shown, to the connection. •_/,(), ,i lo Govern
ment; and is ol course, ai.itmg the prominent
cause* of the strong and i jicc< , ant tendency of the
sys'em to increase, which even its friend# see
mu l finally ove- , n ,.| m cither the banks or the
institution* ot tfto country. With a view to
clue), its growth, they have proposed the limit the
numb'r of hank* and the amount of banking enpi
,B' by an amendment of the constitution ; hut it
' is obvious, that the effects of such an amendment.
■ | if it were practicable, would but increase the
profits and influence of bank capital; and that
• ■ finally, it would justly produce such indignation
! on tin- part of the rest of the community against
iiueh unequal advantages, that in the end
after along and violent struggle, the overthrow
of the entire system would follow. To obviate
this difficulty, it has been proposed to odd, a lim
itation upon the amount of their business; the ot
ic Is of which would lie the accommodation of
favorite*, to the exclusion of the rest of the com
munity, which would ho no less fatal of tho sys
tem. There can he in fact, hut one safe and con
mslHil remedy: ilm rendering hanking as a liusi
iii'*#, less profitable and influential; and the first
and decisive step, toward this is a disseverance be
tween the t anks and the Oovernmant. To this
may bo added, some ellcciu tl limitation on the
denomination of the notes to be issued, which
would operate in a similar manner,
I pas* over other imuoilant objections to the
connexion; the corrupting influence and the
spirit of speculation which it spreads far and
wide over the land. Who has not scon and de
plored the va*l and corrupting influence brought
to hear upon llio legislatures to obtain elnir
lers, and lint means necessary to participate
in the profits of the institutions. This gives
a control to the Government which grants
**ii*'li favors, of a most extensive and pernicious
character, nil of which must continue to spread,
and increase, if the connexion should continue,
until ilia whole community must become one eon
lam timed nml corrupted moss.
Tin ie is another and a final treason, which I
shall assign agam«t the* teimiun with the banks.
We have reached a new era with regard to these
institutions. He who would judge of the future,
by tho past in relcreiKo In them, will bo wholly
mistaken. Thu year 1833 marks tho commence,
nicnlnf till* era. That extraordinary man who
i had the power of imprinting his own feelings on
Hie community, then eoinmmieed his hostile at.
larks, which have left such eflccls behind, tha!
the war then commenced against the hanks, I
cleatlv see, will not li .ininale, unless thete ho a
separation between them and the (lovernimytl;
uniilononr the other triumphs; till the Govern
ment becomes the bank, or the hank llte Govern
meat. In resisting their union, I net as the friend
of both. I have, iih I have said, no unkind feel
ing towards the banks. I am neither a bank
man, nor an ami-bank man, I have but little
connexion with them. Many of my host friends
for whom I have the highest esteem, have n deep
interest in their prosperity, and as for as friend
ship or personal attachment extends, my inclina
tion would be smugly in their favor. Hut 1
stand up here as the representative of no particu
lar interest. 1 look to the whole, and to the fu
ture, us well as tho present i and I shall steadily
pursue th it course, which, under the most enlar
ged view 1 believe to be my duly. In 1834, 1
saw the present crisis. I, in vain, raised a warn
ing voice, and endeavored In avert it. 1 now see,
with equal certainly, one fur more porteulious. If
this struggle is to go on ; li the banks will insist
upon a reunion with the Government, against the
sense of a large and influential portion of the com
munity ; and above all, iftbey should succeed in
etVecling it, a reflux flood will inevitably sweep
away the whole system, A deep popular excite
ment is never without some reason, and ought
ever to be treated with respect ; and it is (lie part
of wisdom to look timely into the came, and cor
rect it before the excitement shall become so great
as to demolish the object, with all its good and
evil against which it is directed.
The only safe course for both Government and
banks, is to remain as they are, separated; each
in the use of their own erode, and in tho manage
ment of their own afl'iirs. The less the control
and influence of the one over the other, the better,
t'onfim'd to their legitimate sphere, that of afford
ing temporary credit to commercial and business
men, bank notes would furnish a safe and con
venient circulation in the range of commerce and
business, within which the banks may be respec
tively situated, exempt almost entirely from those
fluctuations and convulsions to which they are
now so expos.id; or if they should occasionally be
subject to them, the evil would bo local and tem
porary, leaving uiidislmbcil the action of tho Gov.
eminent, and llte general currency of (he country,
on the stability of which the prosperity and sale
tv oftho community so much depend.
I have now stated my objections to the reunion
of III* Government and the banks. If they arc
j well founded; ii the banks ate of themselves in
j competent B-JCfib; U a bank of the IL -Stales be im
practicable, or if practicable, would, at this time,
be tho destruction ot It large portion of the exist
ing banks, and of renowou and severe pecuniary
distress; if it would bo against i.’.'e settled convic
tion of an old and powerful party, whose opposi
tion lime cannot abate; if tho union of Oovcm
i mutt and banks adds to tho unfitness of iJ’fir
i motes for circulation, and he, unjust and unequal
between citizen and citizen,and one portion ol the
Union and another; and, finally, if it would excite
; amiraplacable and obstinate war which could on
| ly terminate in the overthrow of the banking sys
tem, or the institutions of the country, it then re
mains that the only alternative would la- perma
nently to separate tho two, and to reorganize the
treasury so as to enable it to perform those duties
which have heretofore been performed bv the
| banks as jits fiscal agents. This proposed reor
ganization has been called a sub-treasury*; an un
fortunate word,calculated to mislead anil conjure
up difficulties and danger that do not in reality
exist. So fat from an experiment, or some new
device, it is only returning to the old mode of col- i
lecting and disbursing public money, which, for i
thousands of years, has been the practice of all
enlightened people till within the last century.
In what nun*tier i( is intended to reorganize the j 1
i treasury by tho bill teported Ido not know j
1 have been too much engaged to read it; and I!
; can only say. that for one, 1 shall assent to no ar- '
raugement which provides fora treasury bank,or
j that can he perverted into one. It (hero can lie
any scheme more fatal ilia a a reunion with the
banks at this time; it would be such a project.— t
\ot will 1 give ray assent to any arrangement 1
. which shall add the least unnecessary patronage, t
'—i am th« s'Vorn’fl > patronsjr, and have done \ ■
»• much and trull'eml a* much in restating it as I
anv one. T,»o many year* have passed over me
to change, at tlii* late day, my course or i-rinri
pte*. Uul I will aay, that it I* impossible Ml«
organize the Iroa-ury for the performance of it*
own lunctiona at to give the Executive a tenth
part of the patronage it will lose by the proposed
j separation, which, when the hill for the reorgan
i/ation cornea up, I may have an op*oriunily to j
! show. I have ventured this assertion after much |
reflection, and with entire confidence in it* cor- ;
redness.

says, "The burials of yesterday and Wednesday

day, »ijd wc hear hourly of new cases. This is
no exaggeration. People of note and name have
previously died off or passed through the ordeal
—but go about and enquire, and it will be found
that the new coiners are taking the fever and dy
ing. The truth is, that the epidemic is as had
as ever—it only lacks subjects. Let, then, strang
ers keep away from the city till frost.”

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1837.
The Mississippi Election case is not yet decid_
cd. It engaged the attention of the House until
a very late hour last night; when an adjourn
ment took place without coming to any decision.
The debate was resumed this morning bus been
before the House up to the hour at which I am
writing.
The Suß-TitKAScnr bill is the sole measure
that has engaged the attention of the Senate to
day. Mr. Calhoun delivered his sentiments at
great length in support of the measure and in re
ply to those who hud opposed it. He gave a
long historical account of the origin and groxvlh
of the Ba mu no system for the purposeof show
ing that’there were innate and inherent evil in
t, which unless eradicated would overthrow the
whole system. This seminal principle is making
issues to a greater amount than there is a specie
basis to support —so that the notes inst»ad of be
ing the representatives of are in fact only the
substitutes fir specie. He entered into a long
argument to show that the Union ol tho Govern
ment and the Banks tended to the destruction of
liberty, and was inconsistent with our republican
institutions—that they were injurious to tho in
dustry and businossof the country —and unfavor
able to the moral and intellectual dcvelopements
of the people.
He defended the snb-Treastlry system against
the attacks of his opponents whose reasoning he
rather unceremoniously denominated as a rabble
of arguments, and stigmatized Mr. Webster’s as
more denunciations, —and not arguments. He
declared ho had not changed his relations to any
man, or set of men ; but that when the
measures of the administration were wise and be
nilicent. he would give them bis support; ami
at all times would bring forward and carry througl:
his own objects, without reference to the favor 01
opposition they might meet from any quarter.
He concluded by moving as an additiona
- amendment to his section, that the notes of no
banks should be received, which did not agree tc
take the Treasury notes on deposilo at pur.
Mr. Webster replied to Mr. Calhoun very brief
ly. Ho noticed his allusion to the manner in
which ho (Mr. W.) had replied to Mr. C’s argu
ments, and said there were two views of such a
question. A man might reply to argument with
denunciation, or a man who bad received an ar
■ gument might try to get rid of it, by calling it
“denunciation,” The hearers would decide that
question. He said bo had always treated the
Senator and his arguments with entire respect. —
He had, indeed, intended the other day, to ex
press bis astonishment that a gentleman so dis
tinguished, for whom and whose services ho had
entertained so high a regard, should be found
• where he now is —“back again, sir,” (said Mr
1 W,, with great emphasis,) back again to the
old continental money. Ho contended, in oppo
sition to Mr. Calhoun, that there xvas a strict an
alogy bstween that money and what Mr. Calhoun
now proposes to introduce.
Mr. Webster then proceeded to controvert Mr.
Calhoun’s positions respecting the effect of the
union between the government and the banking
system on llte liberty, prosperity, and moral and
intellectual advancement of the country. He. I
thought, struck upon the source of Mr. Calhoun’s
peculiar doctrines at this time exactly, when ho
said that Mr. C. was by far too general —that he
had generalized himself so much, as iu a great
measure to weaken his power of practical appli
cation. He declared that in’ the consequences
Mr. C. had imagined to flow from the Banking
system, he was dealing with things wholly unreal
and imaginary.
Alter Mr. Webster finished Mr. Buchanan
made a few remarks; and the question was then
taken on Mr. Calhoun’s modified section; and
carried by a majority of oxk! —ayes 24, nays 23.
The next question was taken on the amendment
of Mr. Rives, to strike out all after the enacting
clause, and insert the provisions he brought for
ward some days ago; and which were substan
tially those ol his revenue bill of the last session.
This was rejected—Ayes 22, nays 26. After
some other amendments were offered and rejected
the Senate adjourned.
The House has been engaged the whole day,
with the Mississippi election case, but no decision
has yet been come to. M.
