Mr.. Badger. 1t will be rccollected, tha, this
gentleman was among the most Jealous Of those
who, in defiance Of the express rule of the Senate
requiring resolutions to lay one day on the table,
insisted, in violation of this rule, upon taking up
and passing Immediately the resolve for the expul-
sion OF the editors Of this paper from their seats in
the Senate. Now, on the last day of the session
the House passed and sent to the Senate bill es-
tablishing branch mint at the city of New York,
and so amending the constitutional treasury law
to dispense with the risk and expense and posi-.
Bile arrangement of exchanges occasioned by the
actual transfer of millions of specie from place to
place. This bilI-so important to the government
and to the business of the country, and so unob


jeclionable in every particular-and having pass
ed the House by great majority, came down to
the Senate on the last day Of the session, was Ia
ken up by large vote there, and on It's passage
was defeated by the single &c object" of Mr..
Badger, availng himself most unjusty of the rule,
never intended to be applied in such cases. pre-
venting bill being read twice on the same day.
But as the day Of the objection was the last, by
gross abuse and perversion of this rule Mr.. Bad
ger, the federal senator from North Carolina, de-
feated the passage of this bill If, then during the
ensuing recess, any arrangement of business, risk,
expense, and loss should occur from the unnneces-
sary transfer Of specie, and the federal merchants
complain let them remember that their kind friend
Mr. Badger was the sole cause of all these diff
cultes as also the sole cause of the loss of the
branch mint of New York IT,
