" And resolved further, Tha the revenues of the United States ought to be collected and re ceded in the legal currency of the United States or in Treasury Notes, or in notes of the Hank of the United Slates, as by law provided and declar ed, “ And resolved further, 'I hat the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby is required and directed, o adopt sucli me sures as he may deem necessary, to cause, a3 stain as may b*, all duties, taxes, deb s or sums of money, accruing or be coming payable to the Unit d States, to be col lected and paid in the legal currency of the Uni ted States, or Treasury Notes, or notes of the Bank of the UnHed States, as hv I a .v provided and declared; and that from and after the first day of February next, no such duties, taxes, debts or sums of money, accruing or becoming payable to Hie United States, as aforesaid, ought to he col lected or received otherwise than in the legal currency of the United S a’e , or Treasury Notes of the Hank of the United States, as aforesaid.” The resolutions being twice read, Mr. Lewis moved then- indefinite postpone ment. t uetme or much length and no Iittic warmth f>*1 owed, occupying, in a great degree,the gr >und taken on the hill on the same subject which was yesterday rejected—the friends of the resolutions urging the necessity of some legislative act in a matter so deeply interesting tothepublic weal} the alarming consequences which might and probably would follow from adjourning with out doing something on the subject} and the fact that there was a majority yesterday in favor of the bill, but accidentally absent when ihequesli. on was decided &c.—and the opponents of the measure protesting against it, as well from its objectionable nature, as against attempting it when there were so few member remaining, and aftertlic question had been dec.ded by the house in ttie rejection of the bill yesterday.

It mu-t hap pen that a bank pretending to pay specie might send its notes to a great distance, where, if the) were offered in payment, it would be impossible to ascertain whether they were redeemable with specie or not. Mr. Calhoun agreed that it was necessary, be cause the treasurer had already exercised the power, and it might very well be left with thi y Secretary still—but he had offered die amend Ik ment to meet the wishes of other gentlemen — ■ As, however, it was objected to, he would no ■ press it, and therefore withdrew it.
