Monday, September 25, 1837. IN SENATE. On motion of Mr. WRIGHT, the action on the sub-

Treasury Bill was informally suspended till to-morrow, by unanimous consent, and the two following bills were

successively taken up and ordered to be engrossed for

a intra reauing, viz:

Ho ridiculed i'dr. l's precedents, drawn from the liomioi empire, from Na

poleon, from Spain, and from Turkev, ami character

ized their financial measure!? as those of plunder, oppression, and blood. Mr. Lento:-; had entirely frightened M r. K. from the support of his suh-trcaMtiy system, as modilicdby Mr. Calhoun. Mr. K. expressed the hope that he would fm 1 birisel! able to support the present Administration; but be irimt speak the truth. The message, he- said, was greatly erroneous in various particulars, which he proceeded to show, mostly from authentic statements and ether documents. I5y these he proved lhat the paper currency in England had not been expanded, as the message alleged ; that there had been no increase of speculation I here; that the value of the currency there had been increased, and not depreciated ; that there had been little

'or no argumentation of loans in England; that no uni

versal commercial distress had occurred there, except

In : elation lo tiie Lank ofthe United .States, Mr. K Ltii spoke with great energy r-nd pointedness. Ho said ihe fate of that bank was very extraordinary. Hut before he could venture to utter a word in favor of that institution, lie felt be must give his reasons for so sneak ins., for whoever now would open his month in iis

He bad grownup from his earliest life a democrat in habits end associations. Mr. K. was a ion.oeiat in heart 5 a real democrat : he used not the won! as a catch word; he despised catch-words, lie went for nn economical administration, and r.o unc should find him with Democracy on his lips, but Tyranny and Plunder in his heart!

He was a democrat from his youth, and when he fust entered upon public life he found tho Hank of tho United States established by the democratic party. 11 is part y established this bank in 1 01G; that was the remedy ihen proposed and found efficient; and from the time-of its establishment to the period when it was put dow n, we had a currency better than any other nation was ever blessed with.
