may not re mistaken, ns to u h it are now the iews of the President; I think it most likely, he is -.ol: but the extract which I have read from his message to ! 'ongress, shows very conclusively, that such were not then his views. And that message shows further d at the President referred both the question of rerciiue and eurr:r,eii to Congress as passing ihe power o'fn:d aibitrament. He said: 'To you. rCortgress. then, who have ome more udrectly from the body of our common eonsiituculs su'smit the ditire
from the idh obligations of public duty, aud of which 1 have not yet repenled. I warred not against the man, but the conduct and principles of the man. I thought then, as I still do, in opposition to ihe genius aud spirit of a eo;is;i'uiional re public, and fraught with much danger to r O me best interests of the people, but '.he same measure of justice which I mtted out to him. wiil I render to any other President who places himself in a similar attitude before ihe country. I protest against the recognition one rule for him and another for Mr. Tyler. Let ihem both be judged alike. Lei their pubi.e conduct be measured by the same standard. It is this view of our duty which I have been laboring to impress upon the House, and, more particularly, upon in friend from Virginia, Mr. Wise. I again inquire of him; whether he did not hold Mr. Van Buren responsible for .Mr. Poinset'a recommendation of a standing army. Mr. Wise said: There is a difference between the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Treasury. The formei reports to the President, and his acts are supervised by him the latter reporis directly to Congress. 1
Mr. Tho::ison continued. Does this change the degree of lesponsibililv to the President, under which each is placed? Has he not the same power of removal as 10 both? Are they not each selected bv him as h's constitutional adviser?? Doe?, not the act of one, go as far as that of the other, to make bp the measures of the Adminiitra'.ioii?

It was not supposed tht he would resort to spec in I ji.'ca -;' "the heart-sti ings of the common law" to set aside their award either for matter of law or fact. None of us entertained any doubt about a satisfactory adjustment of the question, Cfept 7ny friend from Virginia! Who now tells us that he did sr. and that "if the President had

Hut I cannot farther depart from the course of argument w hich I va3 pursuing when interi opted. I still insist, Mr, Speaker, that at the eommencema nt of our session, the President was understood to be favorable to a bank of some sort. To enable us to act advisedly in regard to it, both Nouses of Congress called upmi the Secretary of thr ' reasnry, as the fmcuwiul orgcni of the Jidiainistratioi, to report a plan which he informed us had been devised, void of constitutional objections. fie reported it. It came to us as an Administration measure, bricked aud sustained by the high authority of the Piesident. fMr. Wisn here said it was the plan of the Secretary of the Treasury, not of the President. Mr. Tiio.-ipso continued. Why, Mr. rp -aker, when the S-cretary of War r commended to the last Congress, the establishment of a standing army of one hundred thousand men, every member of the Whig party, and my friend from Virginia among ihe foremost in the front rank arraigned Mr. Van LJuren at the bar nf public justice for vs ar. Did we not manmlly resist the doctrine, lhat the net of the Secretary was not the act ol" the President. FMr. Waud, of New York, here said, he hoped the. geiiltierrian from Indiana would now do Mr. Van Buren justice. "j Mr. Thompson continued. I am no; conscious of having done Mr. Van Puren injustice.

inference irresistible, lhat the ichue bill met his a; prov.il? Why. sir, there is no mathematical problem more capable of solution, than is the lV:t susceptil !e of proof that this bill was approved ar.d sanctioned by the President. So far from entertaining any disguise about it, he declared, as you have heard, to many mem
bers ot Congress, that he icov.td s:gti it, if il were passed, and this was done repeatedly and without re-serve. I speak of my own knowledge when I say, that I know he did so declare. Did he net then regard it as his own measure, and one which removed, from this d-Iicata question, all the objections to which it was incident in the hand cd' ultra Whissi
