where there are two Furnaces and one
Forge, and where Iron-Work of all kinds

quantity of manufactured cotton might be

H )USE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Wednesday, February 14.
When tte House met this morning, it
.peared that the journal of yesterday
was lost, and as the stalling rules of the
! Inane require that the journal of the pre
ceding day shall be read before proceeding
to buainess, “ the wheels of government
were stopped” in a manner strictly con
formable to the constitution of the United
States. At length, in ord< r to gv/ out of
he scrafie it was unanimously, (it could
not be done otherwise without a day’* pre
»ious notice,) agreed to dispense with the
rule, and proceed <0 business.
Some reports upon petitions were made
win n the journal was found, and read.
The committee upon Mr. Fulton's Tor
firdo Fr'j ct, reported that it would be
proper for the House to adjourn from Fri
day to Monday, and appropriate the Hall
<»1 the House on Saturday to the purpose of
-tffording Mr. Fulton a situation and c.ppur
r unity to deliver a Lecture upon the piac
' icability and utility of the Torpedo Sys
'em, and to exhibit the said Torpedoes.
It was moved to postpone the report till
Friday.
Mr. Dana opposed this motion, and ad
vocated a recommitment of the report. It
would become the Legislature of the Uni
ted State J to pay attention to the establish
ed import of language, and not sanction de
viations from it without important reasons.
The term “ torpedo” has hithe'rto been
descriptive of the electrical eel, and it is
not consistent with the dignity of the House
,to change its meaning, merely because a
liun of ingenuity or science has chosen to
apply'it to another subject. We have fre
quently been amused by these philosophi
cal projects. First came the dry dock sys
tem, which was announced as a philoao
phick methcxl of ing ships, although
every man who knew how to preserve a
score, every seaman of our country, knew
that it could never answer the purpose.—
Afterwards, the gunboat system attracted
much attention, and it cost us a MILLION
and a HALF of Dollars to LEARN that it
MUST ,be ABANDONED. Mr. Dana
had no idea of giving up the Hall for the
exhibition of •• philosophies!” machinery.
Philosophy had already cost the nation
I'oo MANY Mdlions.
Mr. Poindexter opposed the postpone
ment to Friday, as that day was set apart
* The spires of Montreal are covered with tin.

and proceeded to business.

Ayes 48—Noes 42. quorum. |ho
House agdn divided, and the motion was
lost, 43 to 33.
Eight hundred and forty dollars of the
people’s cash quizzed away to-day for
“ torpedoes.** and this is but the beginning.
From the dull prospect yesterday, who
would have expected so much amusement
so soon.
We know not what to-morrow may bring
forth. * *
Mr. Dana said that much good nature
was minifisted upon the present occasion.
I.ven the gentleman from Massachusetts,
(Mr. Bacon.) who insisted upon grave dis*
cussion, could not refrain from fanciful al
lusion. All thia is proper. We ought not
to quarrel upon a subject of science, or,
when about to do homage to genius, to min
gl with it the asperity of polty|pii
versy.
M r M icon thought one of the large com
mittee rooms would answer for the exhibi
tion.
Mr. Quincy repeated his opinjnn that
supposed utility of the project would be
disapproved by the known principles o(
mechanism, and operations of nature.
Mr. Love said no satisfactory exhibitions
could be made without the use of gun
powder. 8 \
Mr. Gardeniev said that the subject qf -
fortifications was serious and important tg
the inhabitants of our cities, but he was nMF
yet prepared to abandon tireg-qod

Onlj 17 voted lot-recommitment.
Mr. Lyon required a division <>f the ques- •
tion. The House voted to adjourn from
Friday to Monday, 90 to 29.
Debate continued upon the other part of
the proposition.
Mr. Findley mentioned the approaching *,' •
funeral of the landlady with whom him
srlf and other Members boarded, and the
House adjourned.
Mr. Bacnn remarked that as the gentle
man from Virginia. (Mr. Love,) ap t >eared
to have an intuitive dread of gun-pvwdei\
which was rather to be regretted at this
crisis of the country, the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mr. Milnor,) did right to
calm his apprehensions.
to particular business. He disliked the
speeches upon Torpedoes.
Mr. Dana remarked, in reply, that 1
delegate from the Mississipi Territory ap-«H'
peared to set himself up as thef Censor
of debate, and if we were indeed to 41
have a Cato, perhaps that gentleman ’’.3
would have no small claim to that distinc- '
lion.
Mr. Quincy contended that the bookjust
published by Mr. Fulton himself proved ;
that the system cmild not be effectual.
Mr. Lyon doubted this. He had -80100
faith in the system. ' // ■'
Mr. Smllie confessed that had cew
to BcquahSl.-'
with this hbslnrsa.
Mr. Fisk was opytotted to suffering th*
Hall to be used for this purpose, as he had
heretofore been opposed to suffering the
cltiaens of Washington to celebrate the 4tk
of Jhly in it.
Mr. Ross was of a different wpinion. He
agreed that the H .11 should be approprV
ated exclusively to the business of legi*!*.
tion, but that business did not consist mere*
ly in sitting here to legislate, hut also in
acquiring information which might be us*-
tulfin legislation.
Mr. Lote said the Members might be ■*
bhwn up, and not only so, the ladies
might be blown up also, t
Mr. Milnor stated that it was understood ‘
that no gun powder would he. used in the
• xperiments. He had doubts of the utility ’
< f th* system, but Wished for further infor

Mr. Rhea of Tennessee spoke with muck

subject. This gentleman’s speeches, lik*

[As Mr Rhea >a universally called th*
“ spinning wheel” of eloquence, ther*
must always be a “ spindle” in his cas*

could be judged from Mr. R’s. countenance,
which, like Commodore Trunnion’s i*
“ Peregrine Pirkle.” was “ mos< gigniftr
