There is the right grand division, and ihe left grand division, and the centres locking Howards the North, where the main strength oTthe Opposition lies. The right division, resting on the SSooinern At lantic border, is led on by , an able and chivalrous commander, who bears inscribed on his banner, " Uocdmpromising hostility to banks a curren cy of Government paper, with millions in circu lation beyond the deroandsiof thefJpvernraent."

" And that ymt hard-money scheme' is to go gradually into operation. Cll this an annual measure, if you will ; but do riot call it temporary. ' The policy began with the Administwiioii, in 183? ; it bas been continued by jsucidessive acts of legislation, and here is a law to! carry it forward beyond the current Pres identia! term. Extend this term, as yoo. mean ministration shows its telegraphic signal from the op oi tne iapiioi, oeanqg; me grauiying an hooncement of " Treasury holes for currency.' The left division stretches cfif along lh6 mighty wateis, and towards the! boundless praries of the great West, and is combapded by one who re jects the eagle, except it bemade of precious rae ta?, and takes the buffalo; for! his Symbol, and for bis motto " Long silk purses, with gold shioing through the interstices and who moves his forces to battle in herds laid physical masses, which conquer, if at all, by! the power of gravita tion, trampling down opposition, and making the very earth desolate. where they tread. To bim the itelegiapb from the! Capitol announces, " Metallic currency for Government and Peo ple ; gold and silver, and rtothing but gold and silver, for all receipts and all expenditures I1' . Finally, there! is the centre, contrary, I think, to military rule ; a matteif however, which I shall not take on myself toj decide in the pre sence of the able general .om Michigan, (Mr.. Crary,) whom I see before me the centre, ap parently the weakest pajtof the whole force, is led, nevertheless, by an! able genera, trained, I think, in a celebrated ,scbopI of tactics, to fit bim for the modes of modern wirfare in which, it is said j be has unlearned mach of the careful edu cation' of his early years ; who, situated be tween extremes, very appropriately and adroitly borrows a little, and rejects a little ; from the great captains; on either hind , and makes up a standard of halt and half a sort of compromize flag.j bearing a small quantity of paper, of very high denominations in thefupper portion, with a heavy amount of metal below, designed to keep the paper above steidy.by: way of attraction, I suppose. And to him tpel Administration tele graph announces, ' Government paper under the Treasury note bill ; gold and silver under the sub-Treasury bill ; and a modicum of bank pa per, if any can live, onderltbe operation of both.' Thus are the forces of the Administration ar rayed i thus are they united, with such agree ment in principle as we have seen ; and thus are promises and encouragements held out to all. Well, all this j may be vry : satisfactory, and I dare say it is very satisfactory to the parties con cerned, who undeistand one another ; but it is nut satisfactory to us itis not satisfactory to the People. To us, and to them, these conflict ing and adveisary measures cf the Government betoken no good. Doubt,distraction and perplexi ty, prevail every wnere ; enterprise and indus try pause and are paralysed ; and who can tell what is to become of this oppressed and suffer- mg country r Mr. Chairman, I have submitted some amend ments to this bill, on which, before the bill shall be reported to the House, I propose to take'the sense of the committee. : They are designed, in effect, to take from the b)ll the obnoxious fea tures whicn l haveendeayored to present in m remarks. I have two principle objects in view in tnese amenaments, and which, if adopted simple as they are, they will not fail to effect Une is, to restrict tbe authority to issue notes, so that no note shall be issued except of a I arse de nomination, and, by thus changing entirely the character of the paper, to Prevent the possibilitv of its being used as money, either by the Gov ernment, or by any body else. This would cu up the bank charier by the roots. The other ob ject is, and which would indeed follow from changing the character af the Darer as proposed to confine the purpose ibi jvhich Treasury notes shall be issued, solely to borrowiog money opon them. If this is really the use which the Gov ernment wish to make of Ihem. and the only use and so wears given i imderstand then no friend of the Administration! can object to the a mendments I propose.
