In the House of Representatives, the subject of theretrrence of the following resolutions, submitted by Mr Chilton, on Tuesday, the 9th inst , to a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, was considered; Resolved That all legislation should be dit ected to the promotion ot the general good; and that the public funds, which are the com mon property of the American People, should, upon some just and equal principle, be distiibutcd for the general use and benefit of all But that no system, in peace or war.

which, in every stage of the discussion re

jected every proposal for postponement or commitment. But what we consider as particularly objectionable in this proceeding, is that the Senate should, without consulting any otheP branch of the legislature, undertake to appropriate a sum so far exceeding the contingent tund of that body. I he annual amount of this fund is g30,000. Here they pp!y a sum more than three times, indeed, nearly four times its amount in a subscription to Gales U Seaton, for upwards ol 2o ooo vc'umns ol public documents. If they can do this, where is the limit to their power of appropriation? If a simple vote of the Seraie can charge, as in this case g 108,202 to their contingent fund, while at the same time, that fund contains not one cent applicable its discharge, what is to hinder their app ying millions in the same way, thus evading a': the forms of Legislation, hnd breaking down all the guatds and defences which the Ce stitution and laws have erected, with so much solicitude, around the public treasury.

though this last motive is not avowed, a resolution has been introduced into the Senate luthorising a subscription for 687 copies at g5 25 cents per copy.
