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; acres, from tins pubhc lo the cj emulators I r 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 , it Ins noitheramvoil nooner, nor is it greater, , than what 1 expected.

To repeal the causes in a ' 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 , i.>pni- portion ol eilizans over anolhcr, dial is nui- I (her lair, equal, nor consistent with the spirit ol our iiialinuums. That llm connexion hciween (ho hink and the Goveminent ; the iccoiving uiul paying away then notes ns cash, nml ihe u-o ol iho public money from Iho lime oftlio collection to the ilishursemonl. is the aotireo of fmincnsu profit lo die banks canii i', bo >| n,-sl:oin-,1. It 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 their colleciicn until their disbnrsom.-nl.

And ; j if not on one, would it bo if contorted on any I I number! Ami if not,why should it ho conferred I'j on any corporate body of individuals! How can . | they possibly Ih' entitled lo benefits so vast,which [, 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 ' individual. 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 t at it bus with the hunks, by giving him the use of the public fund* from tho lime of their eollec- j ; lion until iheir disburseniont, ami of teeeiviug j I and paying uwuy.in all ils transactions nothing . hut his promissory notes, except gold and silver; , . 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 j and thr»l t’.ry wauld attract ll.<» import* and »*• . ■ i port*of llit fiiuiilry (ii the port* where lurli ex j inordinary tjcib'if* were all rrded. It such j ‘ would clearly In l the rfli'eU in the ca*c rujiprrr i iit i* eqaally rleir, that liter concentration (it : the cnrrrnrv at the *ame point, through the enri : OCX ion of llte (»' nernnient with the bank*, would i have equal, it’ roil greater effect*; arid that! whether one general bank ahottld lie used a* an agent, or league ot bank*, which thould have itieir rentfe there. Toother port* of the country, ; ! 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.

[most oun coßitkspoxnKST.J 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. From the A’. V. Commercial Adv. Oct. 2.
