hat moment you jield the power. Not a -woodcut !er would cat a tree, not a hunter would trap a bearer from that moment, without such assent. So, continued Mr Simmons, if you say we will establish branches with the assent of the States you yield the power. If States are to He contracting parties, let it be with sovereignties and not with corporations. He asked if those who entertained doubts,reliercd themselves from those doubts by altering the bill!
Would the gentleman Irom V the boundary question on the ground on which lie had placed this and considered it tenable? lie grounded his conviction of the existence of this power on the fact related by Mr Mad iion, that the object of framing the Constitu tion was to give the government the power of bank. AI?o on the fact ihat the framers of he Constitution believed that they had given his power. It wag right perhaps to limit the o-:seesion of corporate privileges in the same :ersons, but this would not warrant the infe- : encelh.it the same privileges should not be granted to another corporation. Mr. Simmons said that on this ground he .ti inclining to the one term system in the Presidential incumbency. The' present tys!em.i! lo a National Bank had been constitutionally tested and had worked well. Aud ior this reao he would continue it. Mr. Archer said there was a time when Virginia doctrines wrre held as aulhoritv in these halts, lie also knew that another class "f politicians had risen up in opposition to the irginia aocirinea. ne trusted the time was at hand when these doctrines of the Virginia choel would agnin be in (lie ascendancy. He complimented his colleague on the ability of his speech, but took exception to some of his positions. Agreeing with him that the people had indignantly rejected thsSub treasury, he did not concur with him in adopting a United States Bank in any form. His colleague had embodied the plan of the Secretary in hi j amendment, while :t was understood Jhat even members of IheuCabinet had themselves been only ui U-red from giving their dissent by the force of circumstances. Mr. Clay said he had referred to the speech of the gentleman from Massachusetts,! n whose language he believed he discovered a design to intimidate the Senate bva threat of Exec utive interference. Mr. Choite discl.!imed,.such design, nlle ng that he had never received any intimation of that kind from either the President or anv hi-nd of the President. Mr. Clay reiterated, his impression that the language of the Senator would bear no other construction, and asked it he did not say he 11 - 1 i . . . . rouia not aisciose his authority without avio l:ition of the rules of order. Mr. Cho&te was about to reply, when Mr. Preston rose to a point of order. Mr. Archer then resumed his observations declaring that under the power of exclusive Jurisdiction in the District, this was an at tempi io exercise legislation in the District lor the purpose of operating on all the States of the Union. To this he was opposed. II then continued to remark on the remarks of his colleague, and charged upon him a departure from the principles he had formerly occupied. Mr. Rives referred lo the merciless castigalions which he had received from his colleague, and went into an eulogy of General Jackson and a general explanation in reply to Mr. Archer. In the course of his remarks he also went over the Constitutional ground. After concluding his explanations, he went into a defence of his amendment, which he believed conformable lo the opinions of the rounlry, and the Kst calculated to ensure harmony and usefulness. The Senate then adjourned. House. JcLY2nd. The House resumed the consideration of the Distribution and Pre emption Bill, and spent the Jay upon it. Mr. Pickens took n view of the State of the Treasury, which he said we had been called here to relieve, and asked how is this proposed to be done! Why lo distribute three million? of dollars among the States, to aid the stock and speculating interests in setting at defiance the first law of God, which was imposed upon man as the condition of social existence, that in the sweat of his brow should man eat bread, and enable these speculators to live by their wits at the same time wc proposed various schemes to plur.ge the government into eighty four millions of debt. He stated that the proposition to distribute the proceeds of the Public lands was a question between speculators and the great land holding and manufacturing interests. Mr. P. said that the irentlemen from Til. ry land, in an eloquent speech which did him creaii referred to the debts which had been assumed when the Constitution was adopted I hose debts were contracted by those States for Ihe benefit of the whole, to obtain for us me glorious privilege of sending nnr flair to every clime, and on every sea as a united nauon, uui me debts which we were now called poo to assumewere those contracted, not .um purpose, or io ueneht the States, but t(l lit ( f n a tit itnrirU .a ... a : , .

At the instance of Mr Barnrd. select committee was raised, with reference to the appointments of Congressional Reporters by Congress, to be considered officers of that body,sworn to a faithful performance of duty, &.c. After this question was disposed of. Mr Clnr said it had suggested lo him the propriety of uuenng some remarks.the necessity for which he had perceived since taking his seat. He then noticed the 'flagrant misrepresentation' of his remarks towards Mr Choatc, made by the Globe of last evening. He restated the real character of hie observations, and appealed to the Senate to witness that he had treated the gentleman from Massachusetts with the utmost courtesy and respect. He referred to the passages that occurred between Mr Rives and Mr Archer, and expressed his erafificalion that after the adjournment of the Senate, those gentlemen had mutualexplanations. wnich resulted in a manner entirely satisfactory to themselres and their commcn triends. He hoped that the progress of this discussion would be distinguished by liberality and good feeling on all sides. Mr Archer and Mr Rives successively responded to this statement of Mr Clay, so far as they Were individually concerned; disclaiming any unkindness towards each other, and joined in expressing their hopes that the rett oflhe debate might be characterized by kindness and courtesy. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the Fiscal Bank Bill. Mr Bayard spoke at some length, generally in favor oftherrincopies of Mr Rives, and concluded by offering : i :... it. r.n Jo as feuusuiuie uie following: "Strik out all after the word 'corporation' and insert 'may-establish agencies, to 'consist of three or more persons, or to emnW nnv bank or banks, at any places they may deem proper, to perform the duties hereinafter required of the said corporation as the fiscal agent ol the Government, and to manage and transact the business of the said corporation other than the oidinary business of discounting the promissory notes.

Mr. Buchanan addressed the Senate in opposition to the passage of this bill.

We give belovr the yeas and navs in the House of Representatives, on the passage of the bill providing for the distribution of the proceeds) of sales of the Pm lie Lands nmong the States, nnd for a general prospective right of pre emption lo sellers on these lands. The manner in which this bill was finally carried, shows that the Whigs of the House can woik when Ihey choose to. This makes it the more to be regretted, that their choice was, not to do so at an earlier perion of the session. They now give indications of a determination to attend to the public business. They will do well, not further to disappoint the reasonable expectations the public. There is no sense in making, or permitting to be made, two or three day speeches upon questions which have been already presented in every variety of pnrase, ana aiscussea at previous sessions, till they are as thread bare as the knee of a wood shyer's breeches. It will be seen, by the following list, that a number of Whigs voted, against the bill. The entire delegation in the House from Georgia, with the exception of Mr Dawson, did so, under instructions; others, chieflv because they considered the measure premature, while it was not yet known what would he done at the present session for the raising of the revenue necessary for the energetic operations of Government. With reference to this view, the JNational Intelligencer says: . f,VUHU7 nave oe?mea it prema ture, too, but for the conviction that the con ...ruuiug uirnsures ior revenue win puss - .i .... . i i ... mumc siniue uook 111 ComnailV wilh it.

The cotton market at Liverpool had improved, but not much though. The state of trade in the manufacturing district was such is not lo create much hope of any steady advance.
