WAshts.-rors, June 30, 1841.
In the Senate this morning, after the
presentation of petitions, the resolution
calling for the names of persons removed
from offlee since the 4th of March last,
was taken up, and Mr. Mangum remarked
that it was only a waste of time to farther
diseuss the motion moved to lay it on the
table. Mr. Pierce appealed to the Sena
tor to withdraw the motion, as he wished
to offer some remarks on the resolution.
Mr. Mangum ofred to do so, iftMr. Pierce
would make no promise to do an act which
would prevent bis friends from debating
the resolutior. Mr. Preston then in a few
eloquent remarks appealed to 'Mlr. Man
gum to withdraw his motion, and express
ed his disapprobation of this mode of cho
king of discussion. H,3 said the proper
course would be to debate the question,
and the friends of the administration could
justify all the removals that had been made.
Mr. Benton informed the gentleman that
their fog would not prevent him from
speaking on thisqutest'on. He would speak
on it, not by permission of any one on that
loor, but in his right as a senator of a
Sovereign State. Mr. Mangum then
withdrew his motion, which Mr. Clay had
prompted him to make. Mr. Pierce then
proceeded with his remarks, until 11
o'clock, when the Bank bill was taken up.
Mr. Henderson (whig) moved an amend
ment to the bill so as to exclude foreigters,
and resident a',iens, from the right to pur
chase stock. This gave rise to a very aut
mated debate, in which Messrs. Calhoun.
Allen. Benton. Clay of Ala.. Mangum.
Henderson, Walker, Woodbury and Ber
rien supported the motion, and Malsars.
Preston, Smith of Indiana and lunting
ton opposed it. Mr. Morehead moved to
strike out "resident aliens" from the
amendment. which was disagreed to-ayes
24, noes 25. The amendment was then
agreed to ayes 30, noes 16.
Mr. Henderson then moved an amend -
ment, giving to every stockholder, the right
to investigate the condition and transtsac
tions of the Bank. A very intereiting de
bate followed-the motion being suppor
ted by Mcssrs. lendcrsou. Calhoun, Ben
too, Walker and Kin-. and opposed by
Messrs. Huntington, Clay of Ky., Merrick,
Preston and Kor. The argumentt was an
overwhelmingly on the tide of investiga
tion, and its ehlects were so apparent, that
Mr. Clay thought it necissary to make a
most impassioned appeal to the friends of
the bill not tosplit on minor questaious which
might seriously endanger its passage.
This produced the desired efrect, and the
amendment was defeated-Mr. liender
son being the only Whig who voted for it.
Mr. Rives then said he had an amend
ment to offer-but as it was late, he would
move an adjournment, which was carried.
In the House the Distribution Bill was
taken up immediately after the journal
was read, and debated until the close oftbe
sitting. Mr. Clifford concluded his re
marks in opposition to the bill, and was
followed on the same side by Messrs. Mcr
riwether, Floyd, Kennedy, Payne and Al
ford, and the bill was advocated by Mr.
Howard of Michigac. Mr. Brown hav
ing obtained the floor, the House adjourned.
WastsNGTON, July 1.
In the Senate this morning, Mr. Pierce
continued.his remarks on the resolution
e oalfri'diemtt
istration. He quoted the remarks of Mr.
Prestoh yesterday. that the party were
prepared to justify all the removals that
had been made, by giying the reasona for
them, and inquired of that gentleman, if he
had understood him correct ly. Mr. Pres
ton answered in the affirmative. Mr.
Pierce said he was glad the party had had
manliness to make the issue on this point.
and hoped there would be no backitng out
hereafter. Mr. Benton then rffered a res
olution, inquiring of the President the rea
sons for the removal of Governor Dodge.
of Wisconsin. Governor Lucas, of Iowa,
and others. 'The resolution lies over one~
The.b Bank bill was then taken up, andI
Mr. Rivet moved to strike out the provi
sion giving power to the directors to estab
lish branchtes, andi substitute thecrefor the
provision from the Secretary's project,
making the assent of the States necessary.
Mr. Rives suppr.rted his motioni in a motst
elaborate speech of nearly two hours, and
intreated Mr. Clay not to enda.nger thte pas-.
sage of the hill by an unnecessary assertion
of a power which was denied by~he thsou::hs
at least a moiety of thte people of thtis
country. He toughstthis shoul-l be yield -
ed; but if not. he had taken the responst
bility heretofore of ditiering with the great
body of his political friends, and he was
prepared to do it again.
Mr. Clay replied to Mr. Rivel.s,st he
thought nothing but miqchief could comte.
fromt his proposition, Thtat the conces
sion was all to be made on one side-t wen
ty-seven Senators yieldintg their opinions
to those of the Senator from Virginia. an d
his colleague. This was unreasonable,
and he asked the Senator if hte couldl go!
with his political friends, not to embarrassl
them wish this proposition, but to withdraw
it. He considered the issue between the
bill and the amendment, to be Bank or no
Bank, constitutionality or unconstitution
ality, and with much ability exposed the
incongruous results which would follow
the adoption of the amendment, and closed
with a very eloquent appeal to the majori
ty mot to permit thetr power to be frittered
away in discussing questions of minor im
Srtance, which was only playitng into the
ods of their political opponents.
Mr. Preston followed Mr. Cloy, and for
some time it was doubtful which side he
was going to take, but his strong affinities
for the side of power-more especially the
appointing power-soon developed them
selves-and he argued strongly in favor of
the amendment, which he considered the
pint at issue between the Senate and the
'~xecutive, and whbich, if oot yielded, would
endanger the success of the measure. He
thought the better course would be to adopt
the pian of the Execntive at present; if it
did not work well, it could hereafier he
modified. and in such case ho held himself
ready to save his country bty the exertion
of a power, even though he did not find it
delegated in the Constitution. He called
upon others, as he was willing himself, to
sacriflce their favorite predilections to avoid
Mr. .... .. - ...,an r;e, but Mr. Ch-y
fearing that he was going tofollow suit to
Mr. Prestou, called out to adjourn, and a
motion for that purpose was made and
carried.
It is pretty evident that Mr. Clay coun
ted too fast, when he announced the num
ber ofhis adherents in the Senate as twenty
six. Appearances seem to indicate that he
will soon be convinced. that the power of
appointing to office, is more than a coun
terpoise to his great talents, his long 'expe
rience, and his imperious will; and that
honorable Senators will more readily yield
their -favorite predilections" to the gonial
influences of Executive favor, than to the
blusterings of the Storm King.
In the House. immediately after the
reading ofthe Journal, a motion was made
to go into Committee of the Whole. on
the Distribution bill, which was carried.
Mr. Brown, of Pa. then took the floor. and
spoke for upwardr of two hours in opposi
tion, to the hill, and was followed hy Mr.
Gilmer, of Virginia, and Mr. Bidlack, of
Pa., on the same side. At 3 o'clock the
Commiuce rose, reported progres, and
had leave to sit again to-morrow, and then
the House adjourned.
WAstINT-roy. July 2, 1811.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Pierce con
cluded his remarks on 51r. Buchnuan's
resolution, calling for the names of those
removed from ollice. The Bank bill was
then taken up, and Mr. Choate, the suc- I
cessor, and, as generally helievcd. the con
fidant of Mr. Webster, addressed the Sen
ate in favor of Mir. Rives's amcndriment.
and implored with much carncstness he
friends of the administration to adopt it,
as the only chance of giving to the people
at the present session this measure of re
lief which they so much needed, and so
anxiously desired. Mr. Clay who during
Mr. Choate's rcmarks, was evidentlv much
excited, rose and with forced composurc.
inquired of Mr. Choate the grounds on
which be had made so authoritative an a.
sertation, that the only chance of having a
bank at this session depended on the adop
tion of the thing presented by Mr. Rives.
Mr. Choate replied that he could not with
out violating the rules of the Senate, an
swer the question. The rule which it was
generally supposed Mr. Choate aluied to
is that the opinions of the Executive onl
any pending question shall not he quoted
tnring debate thereon. Mr. Chonio was
followed by Mr. Simmunsof Rhode Island.
in a very sensible speech a::ainst the
amendment. 31r. Archer of Va. folluweil
in opposition to the amendment, bt;t his
speech was principally a titade againist his
colleague, Mr. Itives, abtisce ofGen. Jack
son and his friend, and the present Re.
publican party. winding up with a flinc at
the memory of Jclfersou, whose opinions
he said might be quoted on every side of
the question. Mr. Rives replied with
much spirit, and provoked peals of laugh.
ter from all sides of the Ilounse at his.expo.
sition of the vagaries of his whimsical col
league ; altercation of a personal charac
ter in which a question of veracity was
mooted heightened the piquancy of the
discussion, but this was settled after the al.
jourument. by the inti ferencte of their mu.
tual friends.
While Mr. Acher, wns speaking, an al
lusion of his brought Mr. Clay to his feet
and a repetition of the scene betweeti him
and Mr.'Chonte took place, with improve
ments. Mr. Clay had crossed from his
amr rn the dialonte between them, he re
mained standing, and with a look as if he
regarded not what lie considered the mere
puppet before him, but the master spirit at
whose promptings he had acted. The
Whole Senate partook of the excitement.
but Mr. Preston hail stuliscient piresetace of
mind to call the menmbers to order, atnd
they were comnpehied to take thter seats.
Mr. Clay evidetntly regards the move
mnent in the Senate as an attemipt to pros
trate him, and he has snificient of the hnuh
iog ini his dispositio~ to resist to u le laer,
and if overpoweredl to die gatme. While

WasutNGoro, July 3i. 18.li.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Linin occu
pied the tmornsing hour ina cotmtintig tip
on a memorial presented by him relative
to the trade between the inland provinces
of Mexico and the States of Missouri atnd
Arkansas. This is a theme with wvhich
the worthy Senator from Missouri is fatmi
liar, end as he descatnted tin it, lie became
w armed with his subject and gave in glow
ing language a graphic sketch of the prairie
oceatns of the WVest, and the dangers anid
privatious of those engaged in the trade in
these journeyings through the resortis of tn
merous tribes of hostile savages, lie al
so described the manner in which Great
Bitian is attaitning atn alarmting ascendani
cy over Indians otn our Western border, by
the active and unremitting efforts of the1
agents of the hludsonu's Bay Comipany to
instil into their muindesentimnents hostile to
this country and favorable to their own.
The hour ol II arrived w ithout concluding,i
and Msr. L. gave way to the special order
-the Bank Bill.
Mr. Clay rose and said, his attention
had been called to a sketch of the procee
dings in the Senate yesterday in one of the
city papers, in which he was described as
o.ardth e SCenatoCr fiml Maslanaclusett1
(Mr. Choaic.) lie said it was all a mnis
take : he had never indulged any such feel
ing, &c, and n% eut oi for twenty rninutes
io a strain which excited the astonishment
of the many who had witnessed the scene
of yesterday, and know that the sketch
which he found fault with had softened, in
stead of overcolouring it. When Mr. Clay
had got through, Mr. Archer.& Mr. Rives
had an amicable colloquy.. in which they
said a great many compliaientary. things
of elch other, and declared that they meant
nothing olfensive in their remarks yester
day. The Sena to then proceeded to busi
ness, and Mr. Bayard awl Mr. Phelps
spoke in favor of Air. Rives's amendment
as a compromise which they.where willing
to vote for-the first named gentleman
proposing a modification of it. Mr. Hun
lington followed in oppoeiiion to the
amendment, and when lie had concluded,
the Senate went into Executive session.
In the House. the Distribution Bill was
taken up immediately after. reading the
journal, and Air. Ilabersham, of Georgia.
concluded his remarks against it. Ile was
followed by Mr. Parmentersof Massachlu
setts, and Mr. Davis and Air. lcKeon, of
New York, on the same side, and by Mr.
Kenr.edy. of Md. and Mr. Underwood, of
Kentucky. in favor of the Bill. Mr. Wise
then obtained the floor, but as it was near
3 o'clock, yielded to a motion for adjourn

Mr. Mangum wasuot willing to lot Mr.
Preston ofl quite so easily, and reiternied in
een stronger and more unqualified terms
than before, his approval of the course of
Mr. Stevenson, and regretted to see some
)f his political friends expressing contrary
sentiments, afterthe correspondence on the
inlject had been placed before them. The
motion to discarge the Committee was
then agreed to.
Mr. Alangum's rather remarkable course
towards Mr. Preston on this subject. may
Se explained as follows: It is understood
hat Air. Sergeant has declined the offer of
the mission to England. Mr. Preston anti
51r. Rives are both anxions expectants.
and Mr. Clay, through his man Willie,
has intimated that there is no immediate
necessity for appointing a successor and
leciding on tho respective merits of the t wo
aspirants. This iny act as a getile
chastisemeut for the recent offencest of thcste
gentlemen on the sulject of the Bank, bill,
and an admonition for the future.
A resolution wis then called up to change
he hour of meeting in the morning frou 10
to 11. It was advocated by Mr. Linn
and Mr. Preston. and opposed by Mr. Clay.
of Alabama, and M1r. King.
Mr. Calhoun hind no objection to the
present hour of neeting, but lie did obiject
to remainin, here for seven or eight hours
Juring long siltry days. when there was
so necessity for it, and wien it did not in
the least expedite business; and without
there was ans undertanding that the ad.
ourntteiit shocl take place at 3 o'clock,
he would go for the resolut'on. The fttes
ion was taken and the resolutifon was lost.
The Batik bill wns then taken up. ith
luestion heing on Mr. Hayard's amend.
meint to the anendment proposed by Mr.
Rives. Mr. Betrien spoke at -onsiderable
etagth in opposition to 31r. Rives's amend
menit, and in favor of the bill of 31r. Clay.
lie was followed by Mr. Merrick, n-ho
advocated warmly the amendment, and
:haracterzed the assertion of the bran':hing
power in Mr. Clay's bill as "a wanton.
unnecessary, and uncalled for assertion of
power, to which many, very mnany Whipq
bad insuperable objections."
Mr. Bates, of Mlassachusetts followel,
std declared in the course of his remarke.
(which evinced more talent than lie has
ieretofore had credit fur,) that he had in.
rorimation enough to produce anl entire con
viction in his mind, that this bill, without
the amendment, could not becone a law.
The question was then put on Mr. Bay

Ayes 9. Noes 36.
Mr. Rives's amendment wasiuill further
Jebated by Messrs. Dixon and White in
