WasnMe'roN, July 7.
In the Senate to day a communication
was received from Mr. Hauler announ
cing the completion of the series of stand
ard weights, which were ordered by Con
gress some years since. The resolution
respecting removals from office was deba
ted by Mr. Lina. his remarks consisting
almost entirely of extracts from speeches
by Henry Clay in opposition io removals
from office. and some of them denying the
constitutional power of the Executive to
make such removals. The Bank bill was
then taken up. and Mr. Buchanan occupied
she door for upwards of two hours in a
most able and eloquent Speech in opposi
tion to the measure. He analyzed with
much minuteness the report of the select
Committee in its favor, and exposed the
uiter inefficiency of the restrictive provi
sions to prevent a repetition of the abuses
~prpetrated by the late institution. Ino the
course of his remarks he commented freely
on the evils likely to grow out of the inti
macy between te oficers of the Bank.
and the officers of the Government and
members, occasioned by the location of
the Bank in this District, and at the close
of his speech he moved to strike out the
District of Columbia from the Bill. This
was supported by Messrs. Benton. Wright,
Woodbury, Clay of Ala. and Allen. Mr.
Calhoun was opposed to locating the Bank
within the District. It was either to give
the Bank a control over the Government.
or the Government a greater control over
the Bank. ie wouldvote for the motion
to strike out, and then he would endeavor
to have fair play, ly giving the South her
share. lie thought New Orlean' "would
be the best location. lie would like to
have it as far off as possible from the in
fluence of the Nationzl Legislature.
Mr. Benton contended that New-Or
leans, above all others, was the place for
the location of a Bank, if one was to be
established. She was the outlet of the
products of the Great Valley of the Missis
sippi. Three-fourths or all our staple ex
ports are shipped there, and it is the ex
ports that support this Government by
paying for the foreign goods upon which
duties are levied. New York was objec
tionable in addition to the other reasons ad
duced, because from her intimate connec
tion with Europe, at every alarm of foreign
capitalists, she was liable to be drained of
her specie. New Orleans was the mart
from which almost all our domestic stapies
are shipped to foreign ports, and the place
of the greatest importation of specie from
foreign countries. New York is the place
ofimport ror almost all the foreign goods,
and the place of export for oqg specie to
Europe.
Mr. Calhoun said if there was to be a
Bank, it should be south of Mason and
Dixon's line. The value ofexports of the
two States of Alabama and Mississippi
alone are forty or fifly millions of dollars
per annum, nearly one-half of the whole
domestic exports of the United States.
The imports have had the bank long
enongh, and it was time the exports had it.
The question was then taken on striking
qst, and decided in the negative-ages 20
noes 29.
Mr. Calhoun then moved to strike out
tse District of Columbia and insert New
Orleans.
Mr. Benton seconded the motion, and
advocated it at considerable length. If the
Bank gave undue advantages to the see
tion in which it was located he claimed
them for the valley of the Mississipp~i.
Mr. Calhoun said he wished it to be dis
tinctly nderstood that even if this motiona
was carried it would not in the least abate
his aversion to it.
Mr. Benton. Nor minc.
Mr. Calhoun continued, Hie wished no
exclusive advantages for his own seection;
he was opposed to granting them to others.
All he and the South wanted was fair play.
Mr. Benton followed, and asserted that
the greatest enemy to the North and South,
which it was in the power of man to in
vent, was a Bank of the United States to
be located north of the Potomac. lIe re
ferred to the operation of the late Bank of
the United States, in draining the South
and the West of their specie. and, in sup
port of his views quoted the testmony of
the late president of the Branch at Charles
ton, which was contained in a report of a
committee of the South Carolina Legisla
ture of the last n inter. The extract w as
as follows:
"From 1819 to 1823 the drain of specie
from the banks of the South by the United
States Bank, was so great as to paralyze
.the whole energies of the Southern coun
try. it is admittted by the president of
she latter Bank himself, that in fourteen
years he drew from the banks in that qtiar
ter twenty-two millions and a half, for the
mother Bank and for the branch at New
York, while, during the same period, lie
sent hack less than a million, At a pimgic
operation, in order to assist New York
alone, flee millions of specie were sent to
her aid, and, in the language of Mr. Elliot.
president of the Charleston branch. "the
immediate operation of the measures of
the United States Bank has been to cause
the banks in this city iCharleston) to sus
penud all business. From thme Bank of the
State alone, the sum of one million and a
halt was wrung in the course of a few
years: and the import trade of this State,
which, in the yearjl795, with a population
of but 130,000, was about one million six
hundred thousand dollars, was reduced, in
1830, to near one million, although the
population of the State and the value of its
expot had increased more than fourfold.
Beore this action of the United States
Bank had commenced, the imports into
Charleston were as high as five millions,
while, at the same period, the imports into
New York were only twenty millions. A
change immediately ensued, after the
ad~ation of a new policy by the Bank ina
381 , and when its charter expired, the im
parts into Charleston had dwindled to less
than two millions while those in New York
had increased beyond eighty-eight mil
lions."
.MSr. B. concluded his remarks with a
solemn asseveration that if this bill was
passed, be would pursue it, and spend all
the energies of his nature, in efforts to ef
feet its repeal, and not only that, but all
the other obnoxious measures which thme
delniant party were endeavoriog to fasten

and it was negatived-ayes 16, noes 29.
Messrs. Preston from S. C,. Blarrow of
La. and Henderson of Miss., voting against
it.
Mr. Wright thcn offiered a long amend
ment containing several restrictive and
ponal provisions which was ordered it be
printed, and the Senate adjourned after a
seven hours' session.
I mentioned to you yesterday thaR tIhe
Distribution Bill hail passed. The ex
citemeot is still very great against it-but
not probably greater than it deserves. To
day the Loan Bill is up inl the Iouse, pro.
posing to borrow for time necessities of the
Government 12.(0o.00 of dollars. To vote

lions of dollar-A aniualiv omt of tiheTreasury

borrow 12.000.000. But uifortunately, the
profligacy and olly of this measure does not
stop with the imere loss (of money. from giv
ing to the people with tne hand and taking
from them with the other. It establishes a
perpetuil protective Tariff. So large ani
abstraction from time Treasury must neces
sarily require heavy duties or, imports to
supply the abstractionm; ail this, I have no
doubt, was the leading motive for proposmti
the Bill. It violntes the Compromise Act.
That Act says that after '42 the duties
should be laid "iior such revenue as may be
needed for an economical administratioi of
the Government." It is comisistent with
the terms or spirit of this Act. to give away
time revetnue, and thus r.aise a pretext to lay
in Iigh duties to supply time revenee.

let them not look here for relief.
In tihe House a bili was reported. ma
king appropriations for fortifications ani
tie suppressien of itudian hostilities. Mr.
Atherton moved to recommit the hill with
instructions to appropriate the proceeds of
the public lands to this purpose. The
Speaker decided the motion was out of
order, and the decision wait backed by time
majority of the House. Mr. Pickens said
he desired to ask a question of the Select
Committee ott the Curreey, not only for
the information of tihe House, hitt the conn
try. Some weeks ago a hill from the Seti
ate to repeal the Independent Treasury
law was taken from the Committee of
Ways and Means under very peculiar cir
cunstances, and referred to the Select
Committee, under the expectationi of time
declaration made on the floor. that they
woulJ speedily report somne decided action,
as the Committee of Ways and Meanms
were not then prepared to dio so. Mr. P.
most respecfully inquired when a report on
this hill might be expected-if during the
sesison-a::d in what shapel
Mr. Sergeant said he recollected that
when the reference of the bill huad ieen ton
