Alexandria Gazette

ALEXANDRIA:
MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1834.

THE DEPOSITE QUESTION.

We gave the result of the action of the Senate on the Deposite Question in Saturday's Gazette. We add, now, the Ayes and Noes.

The question was taken upon agreeing to the first of the resolutions, in the following words:

Resolved, That the reasons assigned by the Secretary of the Treasury for the removal of the money of the United States, deposited in the Bank of the United States and its branches, communicated to Congress on the 4th day of December, 1833, are unsatisfactory and insufficient.

And the question upon agreeing to this resolution was taken as follows:

YEAS--Messrs. Bibb, Black, Calhoun, Clay, Clayton, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Hendricks, Kent, King of Geo., Knight, Leigh, Mangum, Naudain, Poindexter, Porter, Prentiss, Preston, Robbins, Silsbee, Smith, Southard, Sprague, Swift, Tomlinson, Tyler, Waggaman, Webster -28.

NAYS-Messrs. Benton, Brown, Forsyth, Grundy, Hill, Kane, King of Alabama, Linn, McKean, Moore, Morris, Robinson, Shepley, Tallmadge, Tipton, White, Wilkins, Wright-18

So the Resolution was AGREED TO.

Mr. CLAY, then, at the instance of some of his friends, modified his resolution, so as to read as follows:

Resolved, That the President, in the late Executive proceedings in relation to the public revenue, has assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the Constitution and Laws, but in derogation of both.

And the question being taken on agreeing to this resolution, it was decided as follows:

YEAS-Messrs. Bibb, Black, Calhoun, Clay, Clayton, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Kent, Knight, Leigh, Mangum, Naudain, Poindexter, Porter, Prentiss, Preston, Robbins, Silsbee, Smith, Southard, Sprague, Swift, Tomlinson, Tyler, Waggaman, Webster-26.

NAYS-Messrs. Benton, Brown, Forsyth, Grundy, Hendricks, Hill, Kane, King of Alabama, King of Georgia, Linn, McKean, Moore, Morris, Robinson, Shepley, Tallmadge, Tipton, White, Wilkins, Wright-20

So this Resolution was also agreed to.

Mr. Webster, in presenting the Albany memorial to the Senate on Friday, made some interesting statements of facts as to the distressed situation of the laborers in that city. We had no idea, before, of the actual condition of things there. Mr. Webster stigmatized the measures of the Administration as insane. The 'Experiment,' he said, was similar to that experiment tried by infantile curiosity upon a pretty watch -open it-stop its wheels--and crush its works. He spoke of a cap manufactory being about to stop in Albany, and trusted that before it did the manufacturers would make a fool's cap, and send it on to Washington, to be worn by those whose heads it might fit. In conclusion, he declared his solemn conviction to be, that unless Congress interposes and does something, we may all see convulsion, and perhaps disunion- and that, too, shortly.
