On Uie lth ultimo, Mr. Webiler introdiifed.'in the
Senate, a biff relating to thia imititutwn. It priilHuwa
to continue the preaent Bank aix yeara beyond the time
lor which it waa at first chartered ; that Congress ahall
reserve Uie riirht'to eatablinh another before the end of
tlie aix jearn ; tlial Uie public immey herenfter colji-ct-
ed ahall be depueited in tlie old Bank during rU exmr

Uie important provwiiaia of Uie bill. It aeema to be Uie
opinion, at Washington, Uiat it will not puna either
Himiimi. It cofwidenitioa haa been poetponed until Uie
butt of April.
Mr. Calhoun haa introduced a proposition on Uie name
auhjeft, w hich it ia thought will probably succeed . He
pro)imHa to reilew the charter fiir twelve or fifteen
yeara ; and, in order to inmire to Uie country a larger
peie currency, he propois to prohibit tlie Peuk from
iwiingt fijf, tiui tin fix yrSrii, any bills under and
after aix yeara, any lew limn )((. Another important
utiKgeation waa made by Mr. Calhoun, which waa, to
roiae the BtanJard mine of (Jotd. in Uie U. 8taten,
gold doe not bear the aame value, in proportion to ail
vcr, that it doea m Europe J mid the conaeipience in,
Uiat we aee tuaie in circulation here, because it is sent
where it ia worth more.
The fpei'ch of Mr. Calhoun, on introducing Iiih pro
position, was highly cnneiliatory ill ifl spirit, and, as
usiiul, very able. He has acted on this subji-ct in sik Ii
a manner aa to extort praise from all hut the inmates
of the Executive Kitchen and Uieir implacable Chief ;
and, if his pr'mosition fails, it will probvhly bt; owing
entirely to the fart Uiat K originated with one lor wjmm
