SPRING & SUMMER
Extract of a letter from Washington to the
Editor of this Gazette.
" r r HOUGH you find, in the Na
ticnal Intelligencer, a correct
statement of the most important votes
which are taken in the house cf rep
resentatives, and a very smooth ac
count of the course of proceedings, yet
you get no adequate idea of the minis
terial mode of tranfading business.—
You will indeed, occasionally find very
unwarrantable Statements in that paper,
whenever, in the opinion of the editor,
the character of his party requires from
him that kind of aid. In the Intelli
gencer ofWednefday the twenty-fourth
of March, it is asserted, that the difeuf
fion of the bill, for relieving the luxu
ries of life from the burden of taxes,
continued with little intermission for
fix days, " during which the house set to a
late hour, notwithstanding repeated motions
made by the minority to adjourn. In this
unusual devetion to public business, the citi
zens will difeern a laudable solicitude to ter
minate the session at the earlier period."
" It is to be hoped that this indecent
misrepresentation is chargeable only
upon the Editor of the Intelligencer,
and that he has not been put upon it
by some man of more consequence.
“ Notwithstanding repeated motions
made by the minority to adjourn." —The
fad is, that on four successive days, out
of the fix here mentioned, (the ministe
rial party adjourned in great confufion,
for the purpose of deviling ways and
means co extricate themfclves from the
embarrassments into which they were
thrown by their own proceedings.
“ Inasmuch as an examination of the
fubjeCt has been provoked, I will give
you a hiftory of this bill, which, in the
opinion of the Intelligencer, reflects so
much honor upon the industry, (kill,and
perseverance of the ministerial party.
“ The committee of ways & means,
which reported this bill, and of which
Mr. Randolph of Virginia is chairman,
was appointed on the second day of the
session. After a good deal of delay
which exhausted the patience of several
of the party,Davis of Kentucky moved
a resolution for the repeal of the inter
nal taxes, and dated as his reason, the
delay of the committee of ways and
means upon this fubjeCt. Even the Au
rora thought some apology necessary,
and informed us that the committee
had resolved to mature the business be
fore they brought it forward, and to
introduce it to the house in a perfect
state, so that it might be aCted upon
with promptness and without embar
rassment.
" At length, after fitting precisely 3
months, Mr.' Randolph introduced his
well matured bill to repeal the internal
taxes. The bill was referred to a com
mittee of the whole house on Monday
the 15th of March. Some difeuffion
took place upon the merits of this per
fe& bill, and Mr. Randolph was con
vinced that it might be rendered yet
more perfect by some flight alteration.
He consequently introduced an amend
ment twice as Eng as the original bill.
A gentleman remarked, that the a
mendment ought to be printed for the
use ofthe members before anting upon it.
Mr. Randolph said that it was his
object: but he had federal other a
mendments to propose, and thought it
best to have them all printed at once.
It was mentioned that no other amend
ment could be submitted while that
was pending! but the gentleman might
withdraw his firlt amendment, and of
fer the others with.it, after which the
whole might be printed.
“ Mr. Randolph accordingly with
drew his long amendment ; but not ex
actly uuderftanding what was to be
done next, he moved that the commit
tee rife, and as soon as the speaker had
resumed the chair moved that the long
amendment be printed,
“ Mr. Grifwoid observed, that he had
no objection to an order for printing;
but it muftbe an order to print a pa
per in that gentleman's pocket. No
amendment was before thehoufe—none
had been reported by the committee of
the whole. The ministerial gentlemen

Os the rise, progress, and final pas
sage of Mr. RANDOLPH'S Bill
to repeal the Internal Taxes in one
House of theNationalLegislature.
From the Gazette cf the U S.
—o —
knew not how to proceed. Mr. Ran-|
dolph made a long speech —but the dif-|
ficulty Bill remained. At length Mr.|
Randolph moved to go back into com-|
mittee of the whole, for the purpose of;
flatting anew. ' The house according-|
ly refolded itfelf into a committee of
the whole, and the long amendment
was again proposed, upon which the
committee rose, and the house ordered
the amendment to be printed.
" Mr. Randolph did not chufe to
hazard another step that day, and ac
cordingly moved for an adjournment
at an early hour, and the motion was
carried. Os course, this was not a "mo
tion by the minority.
" On Tuefday the bill for repealing |
the internal taxes was again rtfumed.l
A number of new objections was urged|
against this perfect bill, and Mr. Ran
dolph and his friends finding them
fclves unable to obviate them were a
gain disconcerted. A motion was made
to recommit it to the committee of
ways and means. It was said to be so
immature that the committee of the|
whole and the house could not advan
tageously proceed upon it in its present
form. Mr. Randolph admitted the
force of the objections,complained that
gentlemen on the other fide of the
house only pointed out errors without
assisting to correct them, but objected
to the recommitment. Such was the
imperfect state of the bill, and so evi
dent was the necessity of drawing it a
new,that the little David of Legislation,
after one or two long speeches, finding
that the question could be no longer
evaded, called for an adjournment, as-I
ter the fpaeker had risen and'ftated the|
question to the house, but before the
vote could be taken. The adjournment
was carried by the ministerial party
though the other fide of the house vot
ed against it.
" When the house met on Wednes
day, Mr. Randolph introduced another
long string of amendments which he
hoped would remedy the faults com
plained of, and spare him the mortifi
cation of a recommitment. A great
part of the day was spent in hearing
the arguments of the minifterialifts 4
to prove that these amendments
would answer the purpose ; and final
ly, after the amendments had been a
mended by an entire new fedion
which Mr. Goddard introduced, and by
an alteration of several others,they were
adopted. Mr. Dennis then moved to
strike out of the firft fedion, the words
" sales at auCiion," and to infert“qfa,"
and gave notice that he intended to
move further amendments by substi
tuting brown sugar, bohea tea, and salt, in
place of some of the refined articles
named in the bill, for the purpose of
trying the principle whether the surplus
revenue should be spared exclusively
from luxuries or in part from the ne
cessaries of life. The ministerial party
did not with to have this comparison ap
pear upon their journals, and as the
best expedient which occurred to them
10 avoid it, called for a division of the
question, so that the votes upon strik
ing out and inserting should be taken
feqarately. This was objected to; as j
not in order ; it was said that the mo
tion was a simple proportion, and con-1
fequently not divisible by the rules of!
the house. It was referred to the speak-!
er, who decided that the question was'l
not divisible. The party not to be 1
thwarted in their course by rules of the'*
house and decisions of theirown speak-1
er, appealed from the decision of the'
chair. The question being put; "Is
the decision of the chair in o der?" the min
ifterialiSts, tenacious of their purpose, and
willing to compass their end, whatev
er might be the n cans,determ ned in the
negative. Here a whimsical farce com
menced refpeaihg the second part of
the motion. These wife legislators,
with the little man offings at their head,
had imagined that by carrying the firft
part of the motion in the negative,and
leaving no place designated for the in
sertion of the word coffee, they would
be able to evade that part of the ques
tion, and pursuing the fame course with
the amendments which they knew were
to follow, congratulated themselves up
on a new difeovery by which they ex
pected to keep their journals free from
the mention of those articles of necessi
ty which the conftitutionalifts wiffied
to substitute for the luxuries named in
the bill. But here again they wefe
brought up, as the Bailors fay, all stand-

before the house should adjourn ; and
for the purpose of saving time, and com
ing at a prompt decifon, he said he would
move for the previous question upon
the amendment last proposed. The ,
motion being Seconded, it was ^ut by
the Speaker in these words“ Sh^fyhe
main question be now put ?" Aria it
was carried in the negative by the min
isterial feft. Having thus cut the busi
ness Short, and as they Shrewdly imag
ined, surmounted all obstacles, they tri
umphantly called for the question on
engrossing—But here again, like an ill
omen, a rule of the house thwarted
their course and once more put them at
a stand. The Speaker declared that
the bill could not be engrossed while a
motion to amend was pending, and
this motion he said, had been hung up
by the previous question just taken.—
Upon this, the ministerial gentlemen
began to manifeft Some doubt of the
expediency of the mode which they had
adopted for saving tint, and coming at
a prompt decision. They.attempted to
retrace their steps, and called for the
question on the amendment upon which
ithe previous question had been taker.

“ On Thursday, after commencing
the proceedings of the day in aver,
curious and novel manner, which will
be noticed further on, the house pro
ceeded to confider some farther amend
ments offered by Mr. Randolph, and
Gen. Smith of Maryland. After the
usual time of adjournment, and when,
the members appeared to be exhausted
by the labours of the day, an adjourn
ment was asked for by one of the con
ftitutionalifts, in order, as is believed,
to give Mr. Grifivold an opportunity of
Submitting to the house a number of
arguments against the bill, but which
he thought would not be heard with
patience at so late an hour. On this
solitary occasion, it is true that a mo
tion was made by the conftitutionalifts
to adjourn, and was not carried. Mr.
Griswold went into a very able and
conclusive argument which detained
the house to a very late hour. A mo
tion was then made further to amend
the bill, by inserting, after the words
"flamped vellum, parchment and paper;'
the words “ and the duties on importer
brown fagar." Mr. Randolph had now
got through with all the amendments
which he had to off r. He began to"
look, with extreme solicitude, upon this
favourite child of his legislative labour.
It had cost him many " throes & con
vulsions" in the production, and much
anxiety and perplexity in the nurturing
—and he became every moment,more
and more desirous of feeing it out of
the reach of those who had been all
along unkindly pointing out to him de^
formities which his paternal eye had
not difeerned, and wh®, for ought th# i
he knew, might still difeover as many
more,fhould time be given them to ex
amine it. He therefore hoped that tha
bill would be ordered to be engrossed

ifterial fide of the house.
ing, by another rule of the house, and
by a positive declaration of the speaker
that the question mutt be put. After
nearly an hour had been confumed,and
no way discovered to get out of the
perplexity, a recontideration of the vote
for dividing the question was moved &
seconded. After a variety of remarks
upon this motion, the speaker rose to
