Now," be.e wa a dilfc-ienoH between two jjeiilh men only, of tinny titreu millions. . , ' It waa therefor evident th.it the real deficiency in !be J reaaury could not now be evuertained. Of what earthly use could it be, then, to bave a called seaaion ftir Ihe purpose of raising a loan, when it could ool be known what amount they would ro n..;rs.

In lha nraaent slate nf alTturs. he was oppoaea to Inan. lor ha believed ibat. should one be author- rad, it would remain a permanwit debt upon the Government for iear lo come. He waa in lavor f iha oreaenl bill, althmich at the last "ession, be bad voted agamai tbe iue ot I reaaury nine Al llie last session, when they were asked, he waa against it, because he believed I bey were intended lor a circulation. But now wnen me prosm. h ministration was going out of power, be wouio vote for them a a temporary expedient, and aa a temporary expedient alone. He, (Mr. M.) wa opposed lo caiieq session for any purpose whatever, either for rai ng re- " r an a J II.J venue, or anv thin else, tie oetievea a on itniild invsriahlv nrecioilale them into the great question of a National Bank, the Tarifl, and other nmlters. Now he waa averse to mis. He washed the oeoole of this eountry to have pro per time fur reflection, before they acted on o f .. fw :1 imoortant a auralion aa a revision ot tne tnn. I would advise vou,aid Mr. M .instead of loan ing the Bank money, by laying taxea on Ibe peo nl. to atudv retrenchment and reform. I would say lo Gen. Harrison, study thia book, (tbe Blue Book.) I would advise hint to study tbe speeche of ibe gentlemen from Qhio, Pennsylvania and Vermont, which inculcate relorm. But gentlemen bad now nothing lo tay about retrenchment and reform. The cry waa now money P money n Yea gentlemeo miiet have money, aud tu gei money, they must raise me taxea. From present indication, notwithstanding all the peat cry of r treuchment and relorm, il wa evident that nothing waa to be saved by the cliange. All they bad ga ned, it appeared by the turn of Ihe political wheel, wa lu put out one eel ef char Ittlan. and put ia another set. Mr. M. then proceeded to aay lhal if tbe success of North Carolina was to be used a an argument for consolidation, much a he mourned over hia good old State of Virginia, he would prefer his good old mother with all her fault a. The gentleman, aaid Mr. M., ha talked about the " abstraction" of my colleague. But I will tell that gentleman, thai if it be an abstraction lo oppjse a high Tariff if it be an abstraction lo oppose a distribution of lb Public Land, when in the very language of Ibe gentleman, ibe Treasury ia empty, then I tell Ihe gentleman that I also am an abstractionist. But, continued Mr. M. I wieh the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Jenifer) to understand, ibat I do not intend lu be read out of church by him notwithstanding. I labored as ardently in Ibe cause of General Harrison as that gentleman did, and 1 intend to aupnort the administration of Gen. Harrison as far aa I can. out if that Administra tion shall not square with the promise and pledge which I conceive it bs given lo tbe country, why then 1 cannot go with that Administration But I will also ssy, thst if the coining Administration should even purine a course contrary lo n y ex pectation, 1 ball not regret that 1 bave lent my id in Ihe elevation taf Gen. Harriaon. For if .hi lection accomplished nothing else il has bad tbe efleel of bfeakinf; down parly tiammels wtth ua in the South i and honCelurward, we shall be able to meet, not on men, but on great principle. He, Mr. M-, could not but admire tbe eulogium which the eeotleman (Mr. Kndgers) bad passed UDoaUmi geifojNU..&om 4talb4eJifUle bad, however, talked a good deal about atar gaxmg, and about people shaking tbetr head against a amp post. But, be, Mr. M., would tell the gee llemao, that there were more time for alar gaxing ban one. He would ask tbe gentleman not lo look too much 4o-bs jbftgM- litw btrm and-ra looking at Ibe waota ol tbe rreaident elect, not to torgei " noma. 11 mm iook ai ine worm auW.i4ljtm.)lKjLfouU certainly grow out ot this diacusMon at bom. And wnea that storm should burst upon them, it would aweep away from tbe ocean many a gallant berk that now aaikd proudly beiore Ibe brrtie. Mr. N. then proceeded tq aay that he bad no (ear. fof . Ihe .coming . administration, of General lurrwon. Ho believed that great men would draw anajuJ him psrsons of talent, who would aid bim in aeceitaimng tbe true state or Ihe country, and meu w;o would be able lo make a true exposition of it aflai a He haa not Ibe least doubt, neither, but that General Harrison would have ample rueaiu lo carry on Ibe Uovermftenl if he should t be, Mr. M. had no doubt, carry on a system of retrenchment aud reform. A great saving could bs effected by a different adiuiniatration of the varwue department. lo Ibe collection of Ihe revenue alone, be believed from five to eight bun dred thousand dollars a year might be saved by a proper aduunietriiUou ol the treasury Depart ineuU Also in tbe administration of the War Depart mailt, be believed almost enough could be saved tw pay Ibe expense of ihe rlorda wr. .r . t m uown witn your internal improvement, tai Mr. M. down with your distribution (for I think the Presidentelect i not in favor of carrying on Internal Iiuprovemeul at the expense of the Ge neral Government,) pursue a system of retrench ment, and then 1 think there cau be no doubt Ibat Gen. Hamsun will aoou save money enough to pay all tbe debts of this Government. But. aaid Mr. VI., I protest in advance lo any man, or any set of n.eii, undertaking to cumii.it General Harrison to ai.y political scheme. Gen. Harrison was elected on the H one term " pnnci. pie, but il that principle t lo result iu this, that tlie President, iiMteud of voting for the public good, 1 lo be used lu bolster up tbe schemes of one, why, 1 bad almost said, he bud better be Preetdetit for life. Mr. M. went on lo eay, that lie found fault with no Whig in tbe llou, lor expressing himself in relation to Internal Impruvemeuts, tlie Tariif, or National Bank or other maaaures. He was will ing lo hear all that gentlemen might have to y, ami expected lo be heard iu return, without bciug proper 1 Usl for ao doing. But what did they eec? Why, hi colleague (Mr. Wise) ibe other day had given bis vn wa on the great measures j had avowed bis opinions, when lu I gentlameu rose and expresaed their sus ptcion that he waa about In qui (he party. Tin was wrong. Let every man express hia opin-mis, without thereby aubjeclmg himself t. ibe stiaptciim, lhal by so doing he waa about to leavo the party. Mr. Jenifer here made n einlatiBltun l.i 1I0. j effjcl, lliat he hid said nothing about Mr. Wis I bemjt about to desert bis party. - . - Mr. Wis asked whether the gentleman from j Maryland bad any distrust of him. j Mr. Jeniler mad some reply, wlnli could not be beard. , . -u :.v. maq take, it for granted lhal IM party, wu. k r bim, when at Ibe Nine tune, wno ' " meaaurea of Gcneral Jlsmann will be.

And aa 01 here had ad- ministered their litlle nostrum br the cur 111 uw. dieeaw, he, nllhough not a regular phywewo, thought he could do so too. Mr. Mallory thea reaumed hi remark, and ob served that at tbe very outset he bad been taunted by the gentleman from Maryland a not being one of lha party. Tbey had also been lauuietf Jhe other day with not having common school in Vir ginia. But if they had not common acboola, they had acboola in Virginia which enabled them to understand sign, a well a other peeple. The gentleman from Near York (Mr. Mtwrna) had talked alao about Ihe abstractions m v irgmia. Now be would tell that geutleman, that with all their abslractiona," ibey bad common eenae nough to get a steamboat below a bridge beiore I hey built il up. Mr. H. here reiateo an amusing anecdote, where some common school people of Ihe North built a bridge in eucb a way a lu pre vent their x-etttni out a leamboet : (a member at the Reporter' elbow suggested lhal it waa similar to the mason who built hi leg in a chimney.; Mr. M. after aoma further remark in relation lo the Tariff, etc., observed ibat ae the lime for discharging the Committee from Ihe bill waa now at hand, be must conclude. Mr. Underwood said that tome of hi frmnda had regretted tbi maoifeetation of diflerrnc of opinion atyong member of the Whig party on tbi Aoor. Now, lor hi part, lie wa rt-jotced at it. It must come at some lime, and ihe sooner the better. Let u know what our friends think of it, (said Mr. U.,)let them consider it, and be prepared for futuie eveota. But. if separation come, let u part like friend let us not attempt to bind ourselves together by a rope of sand, for that will not bind ut together a firmly a we ou.lil to be.
