rose, &:c.

The speaker presented a communication from the president of the United States, on the subject of woollens purchased for the army of the United States which, on motion was laid on the table.

The speaker also presented a com

like that of the general who wasted

in deliberations in the camp that time he should have employed in gathering laurels on the field'. Mr. T. had intended to express his sentiments on the subject; but, from the course it had taken, his purpose had been changed, and he could not but hope that w hen the house went next into committee, they would not rise again until the preliminary question now under discussion should be determined. He made these observations, therefore, with the hope that there would be to-morrow a full house, prepared to decide on

the question. s

Mr. Sergeant concurred in man?

of the sentiments advanced bv the gentleman from N. York, (Mr." Taylor) birt he thought this was a sub

ject, in regard to which, from its

iournment of the present session of nature, the house must reculate how-

congress, (1st Monday in Apnlywas4ar and to what length the debate

should he extended. He roiiU t

forbear however, to notice that the

subject of this bill, though s-evcral

years on the tapis, had never receiv

ed a full and fair discussion or deci

sion, and that it had not really occupied at this session as much 'of the

time of the house as would appear, inasmuch as it had been often put a--ide to give way to other business that seemed to press upon the house.

He would farther observe, that the advocates of the motion, who were opposed to the bill, were principally

first heard, and perhaps itwould be

hut justice that its friends should be

heard in reply. Although he ao

orded with the general sentiment
