The Senate proceeded to the discussion of (he special order, being the bill to incor porate the subscribers to the Fiscal Bank of the United States.

The nublio money might be civ- en away by the Stockholders even by the loreign aiucunouiers. Mr. Cliv of Kv. said he could not inn pose Ihe 6e nator from N.

Why then should the Senator talk of Foreign influence in the Bank, and foreign influence in the coun try! -The gentleman, he waa sure, did not desire to produce a prejudice in the country. And do not gentlemen know the stockholders had their own property invested in the Bank and' they were not about to give-away their money?" Mr. Woodbury put it to the Senator from Kentucky whether he would not at tempt to reverse the decisions oo all the i amendments against which he had him self voted? Mr. Clay laid he had voted against the Bank in 1811, and hie speech was very much eulogized by gentlemen on the other aidji.vDeeryedJjt" froin the other side. Me thanked the gentlemen for their eulo gies. He appreciated them and also the mo tive. Then there came on a furious wart and he changed his opinion. Did the Sena tor understand this? lie had never endeav ored io shield himself ur.lt r any cunninjr evasion, but came forward 1 Idly and a vowed that he had changed hit opinion as some of the greatest men in the c untry had done. Could the Senator from New Hampshire elevate himself for once, to as to understand that a man may change his opinion on an important question without bad motivef He was sorry he had been tes ted, plagued, provoked to speak thus, but he had aeen with, what eagerness the Senator bad puJW that speyen of his (Mr. Cf.) oat ot bit drawer' this morning and rriu uici ri wi i. .Mfc -Woodbury made a irply'to repel me cnaige mat he nad accused the sena tor of inconsistency, or bad impugned hit motive for changing his opinion. .

But even in the affair of the late bank the Senator had admitted 5 percent. L Well, even this would be again of a quar-'; ter of a per cent.

Ti e current service of the year, com mencing with the 4th of March last, would require, according to the Secretary's Re port, e24,8!0.000i to which most be ad led the further turn of $2,521,266. He admitted that the Secretary wat bound t show, when he asked for any apprnpria 1 11 C A R 01 IN A G A2 lion, that It wat necessary and would be useful, f The Secretary bad accordingly give rhe jtemt of which this amount waa uiiile up. And from Ihem it appeared that this entire turn wat required to pay arrears of expenditure, which ought to have been paid by the late Administra tion, but which Iher had refused V pay. and had catt upon their auccetsors in ' ... power ' Estimates nau, ias Kinmi, mtii presented ty- tleWar Department, for 81,?if),S29, for arrean, and for the pay went of the "Sedentary Militia" of Flor Wat but Congress had refused ihe appro priation. . At Ihe commencement of the sesion, the Adminrttration had applied to Congreesf for an issue of five millions in Treasury not. s, te m.et a deficiency mi the income of the firtt half -of the year. on the assurance that the revenues Accru ing, during the latter pait of the year, would more than make good that amount and yet, in July of the tame year, they had come, asking for upward of four mil lions more. ir was thought, however, by the leaders, the oracles of the party, that thi would never do ihey were afraid of the eflect on the coming erection s to grt out of the difficulty they determined to give the President discretionary power to suspend the appropriationt voted . by Congest lo theamownt of 81.600.000. And that a mount bad actually be n withheld from the exigencies of the public service Crota early in Aogual to the Uth of November, when the season of labor wat over, and tie money could nut be used: tne suspen sion wat therefore, in effect, aTsuspentton dlring Ttie residue f the year: but it wst nominally taken off, to that the Pesident might tell Congrett that it vm longer ex isted. More than a million of dollars had last year been appropriated by Con gress to be applied to the public tlelences, (which hsd already been tatpended dor' ing the year 1&S9.) and yet of that whole amount but 8182,000 had bei-n applied to ( sum granted by v,,nSr," etpucially at- ter to long a delay had already occured, during which the defence! of the country were falling tnto a state of tlilaotdattonf But during the "whole" of tliete 'fwo'yearai' 1859-'40and 1840-MI. but B 182,00.) had been spent in putting the country into a tlet"of-drfefleey although - Corgretl "had placed at tne disposition of the Executive more than two million! of dollars, to be disbursed on this objceC. 'Was not this a good argument to show that a larger a mount than usual was now required, espe cially in the existing posture ol our for eign affairs? Workt of thit kind ought to advaneewith a steady, uninterrupted progrett, else great watte was inevitable, betides the delay. Mr. D. next proceeded to inquire what meant were at the disposition of Govern ment to meet the payment tf thit turn of twenty-four or twenty-nx and a hair mil lions? According to the shewing of ihe Secretary, the . meant of the Government would amount to 920,730,000. Now, by the word "meant," Mr. D. understood money, cath, or tomething that wa avail able, other than Treasury notes. Mr D. here went into a list of ihe item of which thit grott turn wat made up. Deducting the amount of Treasury notet ami the in terett upon them, the sum would be re duced to a little over fifteen millioni. But then there wat a further deduction to be made for note that would come in, a mounting to $5,648,000. Subtracting thit amount from the fifteen millions and upward, would leave- in- the Treasory of available meant at the command of Gov ernment but 910,966,000. Mr. D. challenged any gentleman to demonstrate that the amount would ex ceed this turn. Yet Ntlie gentleman from N. C. (Mr. McKay) had ventured to ad vance the very extraordinary position that, after the payment of all the Treasury notes, there would ttill be twenty millions left in the Treasury. The gentleman had mistaken the true amount by the small proportion of one half. ' The next question wat, whether the et timatet of Ihe Secretary at to accruing revenue were too. low? On that subject one fact furnished a pretty god criterion to judge by. r The. estimatrs from lliecus fonttfii tlie quarlef juife three million i whereat the ac t ual amount rf id 4t-hl rww - 4evv scer4atfied ,- had beeti about 900.000 dollars. The tn lerenre wat, that tKe ettima'.et erredif at all, ia being loo large. - A to the public land, it wst known to every gentleman that the tales had re centljr been tuspended. Thi tutprntion was one . ol the.. lei-iUmate liuils ot a la vorite measure of that gentleman, viz. the pre-emption law. Tne tettleri who had gone upon the public domain, uniting themselves unable to pay for their Arms, htd petitioned the Pretutent to makethia totpention, and their lequest had been complied with. This was a relief meet ure, the policy of which Mr, D. greatly doubted. It tet a bad precedent, and, once begun, the tyttem was very likely to be continued. One autpension led to an other. Mr. D. here went into A list of itema in the Secretary! report, oomment inr on them aa he proceeded. ' One of them wet 294,000 sttl due for ihe-esf pente of taking the late census .and, though it had been apprnpiiated, it had not yet been demanded, and therefore formed a charge upon Ihe Treasury. Be tween the Itt of June last and the Itt of September next ensuing, there wat to be disburaed eleven millions of dollars, four and a half of which was for the military tr rvice. Now,' Mr, D. conaidered it very unfair to complain of the largeness of tins amount, inatrouih at there were great ar rears ot labor to be performed, which K I T,fi. ought to have been accomplished in pre- i of Sec. IT, hj inserting certain vn.os years, and we summer was nc mtj into which the work mutt lor the most part be crowded. Of these eleven mil lions, Ihe Secretary had tot ve millions in his hands. Was any gentleman here ready to take the responsibility of refut itiar to provide for these wotlt uf 'defence? J Fet, in the face of, thi .obvious and glar ing deficiency of means, rent! t men, would haYe'the auifacity , to: ria 4n Iheir iplocrs and tell the narifrn "that the 8ecretaay had means rn iogh in his hands. , Mr. D. here referred In, and read large iy from, a printed speech, in which it had been attempted to show that the artnl deficit in (he Treatury wat but 9t,"40,'000, and that the Secretary in hit report had been at least fourteen mdliont wide of the truth. To arrive at such an extraordina ry cwrrciutiim aa this tire author of the speech had -ammed the whole twenty four million! stated by the SVcTetary lo be available meant, tuch at could berealked, apart from Treatury note; whereas Mr. D. had already shown tlttt ihe true a mount ot such meant wa not over $10, 900.000. Thia v. at in lict, wliatever it mighl-have been in intention, practising deception upon the country t it counted on t reasury notet at so much income, in stead irf to much charge and burden upon the Treasury ' -v Genthrmen had rr'red toTnaVe a reat deal out of alleged discrepancies between rhe staHrmrntiof the President in hit mes sage and of the Secretary in his report but, in truth, there vat Tio discrepancy whatever, because they retted or state ments mad at different dares, thie was baed on the report of the Register of the Treasury, which came op to ihe 27th of May the other on that, of the Treasurer of the United States, which went op to the Itt of June. " Before gentlemen withhold their votes frin this bill, let them show that the Gov ernment had availed meant at itt disposal, to meet itt debtt and liabilities Ihe Secretary wanted twenty-six millions, two mi lions and upwards of which consisted .of arrears left on hit handt by the late Administration. They tuggettes, at pre ferable, to thit bill, a new emission of Treasury notes. Mr. D. hoped that to tuch measure wouV be retorted to that cy of the last Administration and it had been adhered to until it had accumulated a public debt of tweUfmi! fart.' Mr. V. B. Dawson said that the unex pended balance of appropriations on the first of January, 1841, wat upwardt ol I 2,000.000. the amount of Treasury notet due in the course of the year wat upwardt of 5KX),)00 ami that the last Congrett had appropriated the turn of up war t"t of $19,000,000, making more than S6. 000,000 of debt on the fourth of March, 1841. He said that there could not be more than 918,000,000 of revenue from all sources, to meet the above de mand which would certainly come upon the Treasury before the first of January, 1842. After giving a full iuvrttigationof the whole tubject in a masterly manner, he laid, I have thut thown that there it a debt of 914.000,000, and I call upon gen tlemen to make a provision for paying it in tech a manner as the people will un derstand it, and not by the istue of Treas ury notet, at wat proposed, which wat a debt of the worst kind, and which the people could not understand. Mr. Athenn spoke in opposition to the bill, but did not thiow any new light en the subject. Mr. Fillmore offered ah amendment to the first section of the till, providing for the toon at an interest of six per cent, to be parable at the option of the Secretary of the Treasury after six months' iioiicr, and at all events after three reart from ihe firtt of January next. " He Mated that there had been a wish expressed in the Committee that thit Adminittration should pay off itt own debit within the period for which it wat elected, and to meet those viewt (hit amendment waa offered and he ahowed that the propoted interest would amount to exactly the torn which we were now pavjng on the issuea of Treasury Notes.
