that be was in the House of liepresenta-
lives, when a bill for establishing a uni
lomi system of bankruptcy was introduced
there. At first tie was in favor ol it, but
bad been convinced, bv the arguments
used by its opponents, to take other ievvs, and made a speech against it. Mr. Iluclianan said, in conclusion, that be was stiit open to conv.ctiou; and if persuaded, would hold himself at liberty
to vote for a Bankrupt Ltw, alibougli he
have
enumerated. In lit) the Bank of England, a n w, was unable to p fy its nates i:i gold at the same lima that the demand of the Public for its notes was rapidly increasing it proportion a3 the wealth-producing power of the country required an increase of money to represent it. Mr. Pit', saw at once- the simple remedy ho argued, if gold cannon bo procured wherewith to represent or to carry on the monetary transactions of the! country, recourse must be had to some oilier sort of money if the nation will be content with bank notes, why should ii it bunk notes represent value as well as jrold! If I old were employed, it would not be used il would only represent the value of something else if bank notes will serve that purpose, why should they not be employed in the place of gold? llesides, Mr. Pi!t saw cleaily that the lime had arrived when it was a matter of necessity for him to choose between two courses either to make use of tho tx-
pensito currency of paper which had the
power of adapting nselt to the wants oi ihc community, or of arbitrarily restricting thu operations of production and trade to the limited amount by which litey could be represented by the small uuantity nf gold procurable. Mr. Pitt's
decision is well known he chose the wiser course the Bank Restriction Act was passed paper became almost the currency of the rou'ory- and what was
the sonsequcacc? Frctu th-i tia; until

pearances, for honl purposes. They take the character of 'agents' carry on business under the pretence of acting for others. They deceive, to live. It is time to put an end to all this Mr. Webster said, and as some means of affecting that object, he made the following propositions: 1. That the circumstances of the country require that Congress should exercise its constitutional power of ost thlishiug a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United Slates. 2. Thai it should be made applicable to all persons w hatever, owing debts nm less in arnoent than dolhtrs. who
shall avow their insolvency, and by petition to the proper tribunal, pay for the benefit of the act. These shall be deem
ed voluntary bankrupt.
3. That it should 'apply fcompulsorilv
to merchants and traders, whose debts to one or more creditors, shall amount to a
sum not less than dollars, am
who have or shall fail in business, or he
apparently insolvent, or unablo to pay their debts. Such persons to be deemed

for the whole Union and he had
been of opinion that it was th
Congress to exercise that power. Ever since the period f the laic war, he had turned his attention to it and v. hen thp house of representatives had co-operated with a gentleman, not now a member of Congress, in preparing a Bill for the purpose. That measure, however, did not receive the sanction tf either house nor did it imike much progress in respect to public opinion. Subsequently the object was taken up by a Senator, wl ose
death occurred since the last session.
That gentleman introduced a Bill which received some attention in the Senate, but did not become a law. There was a law of this kind passed io 18 '0 but it was repealed ia 10 3. It gave great dissalisfation to tiie public and not without good reason. It was encumbered .with a great deal of unnecessary machinery borrowed from old brankrupley Acts and woiked inadequately and expensive
ly.- In rases of many persons who took, the benefit of it, who were insolvent, the dividends were rendered extremely email from the grest expense of the eysteui. Since that period, the British Government has levived the old system, and adopted provisions which give speed in the settlement greatly reduce the expense and are highly satisfactory to the
people of that country. Mr. Webster bcli'-vcs that here we loight proccc-s'.ill
