We make the following extract from
Mr.. Criltenden's remarks in the Senate
on the 9th:


Mr.. G. said such spectacle as the coIn-
try exhibited the world had never seen.
The country was in a state of happy pros
periiy and in profound peace. The Ad-
minstIation had made war that tbey might
get back the peace. After getting into a
war which required all the resources we
could raise, they reduced duties to increase
the revenue. They had been digging
vaults and cellars, putting on locks and
bars TO keep the hard cash of the treasury,
and yet they were passing a bill To issue
floods of paper money. Had any nation,
since the foundation Of The world, witnessed
management like thisl We had peace, and
then we went To- spending millions to con-
quer peace. We first put all our money
into strong boxes, and locked up all the
specie. and issued treasury drafts and treas
ury notes without end. Gentlemen here
were working mos: diligently to fulfil the
DEGREES Of the Baltimore convention, while
they utterly disregarded The petitions and
memorials of the people. Then we had
great disputes among the faithful as to what
was not promised. All these questions
about iree-irade and subireasury, Oregon
&c., were but so many empty barrels
which had been set afioat on the stream ol
the late Presidential election. they an
swcred that purpose, and now, for God's
sake, let gentlemen throw them overheard.
As for the Sub-Treasury, he believed that
was overheard already Let gentlemen
throw the rest after il, and then set them
selves diligently to do the public business
and 90 home.
