Wo rccommond it therefore to tho a!lcntion of all our readers. lie proves most conclusively, that this meas ure violates the Constitution of the United Slates ; that it is unjust ; and that its probablo ofl'eot upon the public interests, will be highly disastrous. IIo shows that tho power "to emit bills of credit," by tho Government, was voted down in tho Con vention which formed the Constitution, and further that no power exists to make anything but gold and silver a legal ten der in payment of debts. The citations upon these points from Mr. Madison, Mr, Wobstor, and Judge Story, aro decisive and unanswerable deemed. Thero is no time when faith of tho Government is pledged to their pay ment.

But it may givo point to the argument to show tho offect which will be producod by the provisions of the bill itself in that respect. This bill, after providing that these 5100,000,000 of Treasury notes shall bo ptyable to all creditors of the United StaUs, and in tho discharge of all private debts, provides also that thoy shall bo funded in twenty year bonds of tho United .States at six per cent ; and, in ordor to in- tluec tho funding, that when auy person shall accnmulatc '2,500 of these notes ho prceiato ; the y ought to depreciate, be cause they are only valuable as tho repre sentatives of gold and silver ; and if they aro not convertiblo into that of which thoy are tho representative, they must ucccssa rily lose their valuo.

But, Mr. Chairman, I go a step furthor I doubt whether there is any power in the Federal Government to issuo tho notes do icribed in this bill, whether they aro made a lciraltcnder or not. I havo shown to you that tho power to ''emit bills of crcd it" was expressly withheld by tho conven tion which framed tho Constitution. have shown that it was withheld because they did not intend that this power should "be voctcd in Congress, Now, What is a bill of credit ?" Chief Justice Marshall, in tho case of Craig against tho Stato of Mis eouri, (Peter's Reports,) defines it. He .says : "To omit bills of credit convoys to tho mind the idea of ifsuing paper intended to circulato through the community, as monoy 'which paper is redeomnblo at a future day. This is tho snso in which tho terms havo been always understood. Tho term has acquired an appropriate meaning; and "bills of credit ' siguify a papor medium intendod to circulato between individuals, and bJt'woen Covcrniuent and individuals, for tho ordinary purposes of society." Air Webster dofincs a bill of credit thus : "Tho objeol of them was to create a pa per ciroulalion ; nnd any paper issued on tho credit of tho Stato. and intended for circulation from hand to hand, is a bill of icrcdit whether irado a tender lor debts or iot, or whether carrying iulercat or not. ii it issued with the iUcnt th it tf. . hall lvalue; tho Government will pay twofold l 1 .,.nl ,viaw tl.nt !f (V... tion goes on, tho margin will widen.- This double system of prices prevails every where where there is a forced Government currency. Let a travolcr, anywhere in Austria, enter a shop to purchase ; an article is offered for 100; in paper : but if ho proffor3 gold ho can havo it for S(!3 or 70. Tho legal tender clause must be ineffec tual then, to substituto government paper for the real currency, except as regards past transactions. Mortgages, bank debt ors anjl others may pay in this currency ; but for tho actual transactions of the day, it will have no higher valuo than its iu- trinsio worth and current rate ai compared with gold and silver. Three-fourth of the business in which money is used, aro the daily transactions of life. A very small portion is tho payment of tho interest or principal of vostcd debts.

Tho gentleman from New York cited to mo yesterday tho authority of General Hamilton.
