CALVARY. '
-Of all the places rendered memorable
by the history of our Saviour, and the
events of his life, sufferhige, end death,
conneeted therewith, none carries home
to the mind of the beholder -a-deeper feel
• iag of-veneration than the bill of Calvary.
"F•rom the situ; Lion and appearance of this
place, many have been led to doubt whe
ther it was indeed the spot where-the crii:
icifixion was performed; but the mistake is
is the mind of; the beholder and net con
nected withithe-sitei forskis nil wlterein
the scriptures spoken of jn such a tray as
to lead to the belief chat it was a mountain,
as the vulgar idea respecting it would seem
to imply. The spot is called in the He
brew tongue golgolka, meaning a skull;
and took this appellation froni thefigure
•of a rock which projected from an adjoin
ing cliff in the portraiture of a skull; tra
dition preserving this fact; and the identity
of the spot is still further corroborated by
the combined testimony of Mohammedan,
-Jewish, and Christian admission as to the
fact of this being the exact spot. The
,present appearance of Calvary is an eleva
tion of from eighteen to twenty feet, with
artificial steps leading to the top; and
, places are shown as the exact spots where
on , the three crosses -stood; but this is
scarcely deserving of credit.
There are three species of evidence at
-tending , the crucifixion. -which stand on
treeord, showing the miraculous circum
stances which accompanied that event.
The first of these is, the darkness which
overspread the wholeland, and the raising
-of the dead from, their graves; another
Circumstance was, the rending , of the veil .
of-the temple; and the third,the vending
asunder of the rocks; the last only of which :
circumstances could remain to attest the'
fact at the present day. And this may be
seen even in the very rock of Calvary-it
, self, which is rent in twain, and still stands,
although the splendid temple has long
since .been destroyed, to attest the truth
•of revelation.
.Not ready steps from Calvary, and now;
-situated under thesame roof which covers
both, may be seen the tomb in which Jesus
was laid. The building - referred to was
built orig inally by the Empress . Helena,
but has been burnt -down several times
since, and always rebuilt. The proximity
of the tomb to- Calvary has been a matter
of surprise to almost every stranger, who
has visited these sacred spots; but this dig!
• !malty, like the one previously suggested
concerning Calvary, is the result of pre
vious misapprehension-on the part of the
beholder, and not tin filet to be urged as a
real ishiection. against the genuineness of
these localities. When we Naito the,
Bible to solve our difficulties, we find at
'once all our difficulties settled, and the
truth made to stand out apparent, The
Evangelist, in recording the circumstances
connected with these events, draWs such
a picture of the whole scene of the trial,
' and crucifixion, and burial, as to carry
with it the- idea of the utmost haste, and
bustle, and confusion. Thus were the
words of •the prophet verified-.—"-be was
hurried from prison and from judgment,"
dm. From the judgment hall, the violence
of the rabble would most naturally lead
.them to the most speedy execution of their
*dark designs4,and they who cried out
."•erucify him, crucify him," seemed to be
'unwilling to delay the consummation of
the scene. Thus Calvary was chosen, not
with any regard •to its having been the
place thus formerly appropriated for pub
lie executions,
,but merely because it was
not far distant from the place of judgment;
therefore; haying thus satiated their thirst
for blood, the body , was left hanging upon
the . cross; and- the Jesiisli -Sabbath ap
proaching, which would have been defiled
by the exposure of the dead bodies, we
are told, by the Evangelist, that Joseph of
Arirnathea solicited Pilate that he might
take clown the body from the cross, and
*lace k in the tomb. Now Joseph, who
trail a disciple of Jesus, would not killing
-Ipgige occasion for a recurrence of those
scenes which had but too lately disgraced;
Jerusalem, by making a pamdenf the'
,: burial of Jesus; therefore, the most eatural
iug.gestioa tor the thinking mind would be,
th4he would procure some place-for the
burial as near as possibliAn the place of
crucifixion,-which was "%dimity:the case,
as the scriptures testify. The Evangelist
St. John, in recording the circnMstance,
says: " Now in the place where file whe
crecified there was a garden, oni in the
garden there was a new sepulohic,twhere-,

ffiey ..iesustbentfo ' iv• becaltaiTtlia 4 iira t

Mediate-proximitY of the'otealvary
and the tomb, are, here el ly stated, and
eI TI
-the reason to whiCh irassi rod, v•because
of the Jews'prepairation day," shows that
it i.e selected with regard to haste and
convenience, and to avoid d recurrenceof
'scenes with whith the fcillowers of our
Lord-bad already become too familiar.

After some miscellany° business the orders
IX the day,—the SUB TR I. RY BlLL,—was
Milled.
Mr. WEBSTER was e titled to the floor, and
commenced' his reMarks y saying-- ,
The.functions pfthis Government affecting its
meet important interests, were those- connected
w i t h t ra d e and alotnmerce. Identified as these
were with• the piece and prosperity of the cram
try it was Swill to Contider things as they were.
From nothing the country had become great and
maguificent. Oar Exports were $129,000,000,
our Importell24oooXo,--$2,000,002 was ex
amount of our toimage. Its manufactures most
' amportmikand t _ le coasntry , was .pot only vast it
its trade - but rust in its' extent. Our Foreign.
Debt, hot our commercial Debt,- which ,hvat
not are thanlll2,ooo,ooo but our loans amount.
eadio not less than 0100,000,000, •
Mr. Webster, after stating in a concise man
ner, what was and' hat is the condition of the
'country, physically 'and historically, entered upon
a revision of its financial prosperity—its curl en.
cy, andthe,peculiarity ofits monetary 'system.—
Our currency was a mixed currency,. part Gaper
specie. Our country, half a centutY old
bad proved and tried this mixed currency and
found it sufficient for all the purpose! of -life—.
for all the!wants Of the country—fdr all the basi
-1 nets of the Country: -:•.:- .
This syitionn of currency. was ' identified with
the credit or the oduntry. Mr. Webster then en.
tered upon e lacisi end elequem review of the
credit latent of the country. It Mss identified
with the balpionees °Ate country. It encour.
aged !abbr., It ,:united labor with capital. It
made generally the laborer the capitaliat.-- .
There were exceptions to thii, but is a general
remark it was true. Where as this capital now?
said Mr. Webster. •In your banks,--in your
canalsin ymar , rail roads—bridges--turnpikes
—and publac`wotks—not in use but idle.
In Englind, continued Mr. Webster, the pap.
deflate increase their capital L by dividends upon
the public debt ira Greif, Britain. As capital, it
fiyorid nq indpsary—it encouraged no industry
—icwas ldentafied with riothiog that was active,
or that - giye . ac;lyity to - the country .. Could
the debt of Erie net be paid off at once, the capit.
elists who "now uiveattheir capital:an the debt,
and who receive their interests from dividends
matte upon thesublic debt—could this said Mr.
Webster, be paid off to-morrow '
the English cap.
italists would invest his capital in works of Pub.
licamprovinient, and "the benefit would be ire.
mean to ill. Wages would increase, and a
revolution would be seen la-every part of England.
-The 'moat aristocratic vsentbileut.ever uttered in
this country, said MtlYffebster, was that which
said that"those who traded on bOrroved capital
'c'tightio bteak." And Whit would be the effects)
of this? said Mt. Webster. "Capital wool° be
linat.ded and's:nude &deed mils, sod not as before
a hying' still aotive principle. The effect ir u -
to make the labbting classes of this country but
little better , than the serfs of Russia. It was this
borrowed ciaPital that gave prosperity to the nes -
States, and the representatives of the new States
should be first to foster and encourage it. (Mr. ,
Webster Mimed this inquiry at some length and
with great interest, showing the magic and ben.
eficial power. of a wholesome Credit system.)--
Much said Mr. Webster, has Weis said by the
Senator frosn'South Carolina of the 'interests of
theCollonliclting States. And what isthis inter•
est more than that of the grain-growing man of
lediana.--ofthe weaver anti shoemaker of P-hil

' Mr. We r then entered upon-an examina
tion of the Ba king system of the United States.
There were, h said, in the United' States 700
banks—bet* 3 and 400,000,000 dollars ofcap-
Balt *30,000,0 'of specie, & 5100,000,000 of bank,

upon th ese sta sties in references to their-arrange
ments, benefi evils, &c, &c.
Mr. Websee then said that if there had been
an expansion Of the , eurreney,—And he did not
doubt but thire had been,-;-the Governm ent ent was
the cause. Here Mr. W.read "letter from. the
Secretary of the Treasury written just-after the
removal of the; beposites.. The 'letter instructed

the Deposits nks•to discount; to the full a
mount of thei ability; and to ;the full means
which the de ices allowed; givjog as large dis
counts to the m erchants 'as possible , consistent i
with other c infs.' And , yet for acting under
and carrying istthese iostructions , the bill be
fore this Sena had introduced a section of pains
and penalties. • The-Government commanded a
thing, the doi 'g of which was to bi, punished
with pains a n penalties. . •• ' ,
,Mr. Webit r enlarged upon this branch-of his
argument, an siroved that, for all undue excess
the. Govern in nt alone was responsible.
Mr. W. the made in argument to show the
effect of cult ction and the necessity of, a lib •
eral eirsulati n ot' notes, among the people.—;
With but one e xception ; and that a recent ones
