HOUSE OS 11EPRESEy\ TATIVE6\
.* Mondat, Dec. 14.
The Speaker laid before the House a com
munication from the Secretary of State, en
closing a report on the petition of Caron de
beaumarchais ; which was, with the pi tilioii,
befbrired to the com mi til c of Claims.
•Mr. Holland presented the petition of An
drew Bouehcry on the subject of a new mode
of manufacturing sugar ; which was referred
to a select committee of three members.
Mr. Lewis presented a memorial from
David Scott, denying the statement contain
tained in a memorial presented at this ses
sion from -* Evans.
Mr. Blount moved that the House go into
a committee of the whole on the hill for for
tifying our ports and harbours. At the re
quest of Mr. Quincy, Mr. B. withdrew his
motion for a few minutes ; when
Mr. Quincy presented twenty-two memo
rials signed by nine hundred merchants, See.
of the town of Boston, praying for the modi
fication, suspension or repeal of a law com
monly called tl;e non-importation law;
which he moved to be referred to ihe com
mittee of the whole House, to whom was re
ferred the bill to amend the non-importati
d» law.
On this motion the yens and nays being
called, a debate of four hours length took
place, in which Messrs. Ely, ITphnin, Tay
lor, Sloan, Gardenicr, Gardner, C.rownin
shield. Bacon, Quincy, Elliot. Cook, Aloe on,
vY. Alston and Holland, advocated the mo
tion ; and Messrs. Desha, Rhea ( i cn.) G.
XV. Campbell and Mumford opposed it.
This debate was rather desultory, and near
ly retraced the snme ground that was taken
on the motion for reference of a petition on
the same subject from the merchants of Phi
ladelphia.
The Yeas and Nays being taken on the mo
tion for reference, were—Yeas 79—Nays
38.
This memorial being disposed of, it being
hear four'o’clock,
Mr. Blount moved that the House now re- |
solve itself into a committee of tire whole, on ]
the bill for erecting fortifications, &c. He \
made this motion with a confident c>:per.ta- !
tion, that the House, having spent so much !
time on a subject of no importance, would
how go into committee, and sit till they went
through this bill, which was of so‘much im
portance.
This motion was negatived—55 to 4fi.
A message was receh ed from the Senate,
informing the House that they had concurred
in the amendments made by this House to
^thc bill for the erection of an additional num
ber of gun-boats. This bill, therefore, only
requires the President’s signature to be a
law. j
Tuesday, Dec. 15,
Air. hfiitior moved that the memorial from
¥>:ndrv men hatits of Philadelphia, now on
the table, be referred to the committee of
the whole to whom was committed the bill
for the amendment of the non-importation
Jaw, and the memorial on the same subject
from Boston.
The Yeas and Nays being called for on the
motion,
Messrs. U/i/icm and Chittenden expressed
themselves in favour of the motion, from the
undoubted right of every citizen, to have his
petition heard on any subject; nm\ that since
this memorial was ordered to lie on the table,
the subject had been taken up at the instance
of the committee of Commerce and .Manu
factures, and was now actually before the
House.
Messrs. I.yon and Chandler contended
that this petition had been heard and con
sidered as far as was required by-the consti
tution; that this memorial, different from '
that referred yesterday, prayed rolrlv for a
Repeal, which was a question n which even
member in the Home must have made up
liis mind ; no advantage could therefore arise
from its rorere'ice to a committee.
When Air. Gardenicr culled for the pre
vious question on the motion for reference,
and required the yens n:irl nays upon it; the
question was accordingly taken by veas and
bays on the question “ bhall tlie main ques
tion (on the reference) be now put?” And
decided in the affirmative—Yeas (M—Navs
Tbs Speaker decided that the rAsvlous
que?‘.inn being in this form “jhall the main
question be now put,” tlm ' fT-rraativ#* dccisi
non on that question precluded debate.
' \r.'Band.Ifih said, with vciy great reluc
tance he must, if no other person did. appeal
from the decision of the Speaker. The pre
vious question nrccltided all debate till it
v as decided ; it had been decided in the af
firmative ; and the original question was
therefore left open for discussion. Mr. It.
called for the teas and nays on »hd anneal.
A motion being made hr Mr. 1'itkcn, to
postpone the decision <vi the point of order
till to-morrow, and Mr. Kami -Ipji having
required the yeas and ncs eu that motion'
it was negatived—Yeas CO—Mays 18.
The quo. tion of appeal was then decided
by* yeas andnayc, and there were in favor of
the decision of the Speaker 14; against it
103.
On this point of order a di*mission arose ;
which continued for fhvrc hours and ten mi
ni, Ir* ; in the course cf which, many autho
rities were produced, and on which the fol
lowing gentlemen expressed their sentiments;
Messrs. Alexander, Thomas, Randolph, G.
W. Campbell, Stanford, Quincv, Smllie, A1
f.ton, Dana, Dawson, 1'itkcn, Hhr a of Ten.
Masters, Gardner, Tavlor, Bibb, Blount and
Cook.
'i'lie question recurring on the reference of
the memorial,
Mr. Ely thr u advocated a reference, on
the same grounds which liavc been formerly
takrn in favour of the reference of this mc
inc rial.
Mr. Blount sa d if lie had discovered a dis
position in gentlemen to expedite business,
and to take no the subject of fortification re |
long delayed, I r should have been content to
meet this qne .tion at the present time. Hut
as there teemed n disp'-sion unncrcssarilv to
occupy tht time of the House on everv trilling
Subject, hr should more that the motion fdt
. reference be postponed ti!i Monday week ;
be hoped tlm question on tills motion would
be taken without debate.
On this motiob a de bate took place, involv
ing the merits of the petition of nearly the
same tenor with that heretofore given*
Messrs. Milnor, Gardner, Dana, at.d kelly!
advocated the ivfcrenic if the petition, ai,.l
Messrs. Fisk and Sawyer opposed it. ]„ |jie
course of this t!< hate,
Mr. Milnor, amunrst -dher <biervatiens.
•aid he liad hoped when lie turned the re
ference, that tho rm d sense of the Hook
'would have induced them torefrr this petiti
on without a tvord of debate; lie could ee
nd difference betWCeh flic petition from Bos* I
ton, yesterday referred, and the memorial I
now under consideration ; that having ltok- j
ovpf the names subscribed, he found men |
of tlie first respcct ioii.ty, the mo.-.t eminent j
and wealthy merchants of Philadelphia had
subscribed it; that he was not himseif p*r
pared tossy that he was in favor of a repeal,
but thought nl'vePthr'cs: th it citizens had a
right to pray tor any object whatever, mort
especially when in the Situation of those mcr
ch mts, ‘ %
Mr /7.*A\ amongst other remarks, said,
that neither he nor any gentleman in the
House had disputed the right to petition; it
was on the ground of disrespect that it had
been refused a reference before, ami be hop
ed it would now be refused on the same ground
It had been said that the House haddisgrac-.
ed themselves by their former decision on
this case : Mr. F. did not wish to remove
such a disgrace, and fie was opposed to the
present rcicrenre, not because tney prayed
f >r the repeal of a 1 iw, but because the terms
Sc language of the petition were not decorous;
a petition could not be couched in language
more objectionable. A gentleman from Penn
sylvania had said that the petitioners were
wealthy and eminent merchants; Mr. F.
said they were not entitled to more conside
ration on that account than the poorest citi
zen of the U. States. The petitioners fear
ed that they might be deprived of their mar
ket: if they had no other market than Great
Britain, and were obliged to depend on her
justice and her moderation, they were Indeed
unfortunate. The petitioners had urged their
I prayers in an improper maimer, and he be
| lieved from improper motives ; and tie be
lieved that the petition was couched in lan
guage and contained sentiments which would
be generally execrated by the American peo
ple.
Mr. Dana, in the course of his reply said,
that lie bclieyed among these petitioners who
had been charged as British partiz ms, there
were some as worth'’ gentlemen as anv in the
j House, and as superior to foreign influence.
Those who thus denominated them—would
they not expect to be charged with being
i tools of a foreign power, if they did not prove
1 their assertions? He did not before know
that it was a violation of decorum to savthat
a government could err ; in some monarch
ies citizens had been denied the right of sav
ing that their government did err, but e'en
there they had not been restrained from say
ing that they might err. At the same time
that the petitioners had not charged the go
vernment with acting corruptly, they had not
conducted themselves as sycophants or
slaves.
Mr. Kelly also replied to the observations
of the gentleman from Vermont, bore testi
mony to the good character of the petition
ers, ik strongly advocated the motion for re
j fercncc.
| Mr. Chandler suggested to the gentleman
| from North-Carolina the propriety of w-th
| drawing his motion, and permitting a decisi
on to take place on the original motion lor
reference.
Mr. liljuni said he had been taken inves
terday by withdrawing a motion, and Ire
would not Withdraw tills. If gentlemen were
so desirous wontoiily to waste tiie public
time and money on a motion for postpone
ment, they might; but he wouid not with
draw his motion if they debated till this time
to-morrow upon it.
The question of postponement was decided,
on motion of Mr. Miluor,'by Yeas and Nays.

entitled to his seat in this House.”
Mr. I an Cortlandt presented the petition
of Moses Young praying compensation for ser
vices in the revolutionary war—Referred to
the committee on Claims, barred Sec.
Mr. G. llr. Campbell said that by a law
passed at a former session, a part of the dntv
on salt had ceased, and the remaining part
of the duty being 12 1-2 cents per bushel and
the .duties constituting what was generally
called the Mediterranean fund, would expire
on the 1st of Jan. next. In the report made
by the Secretary of the Treasury, this w as
mentioned as one of the iirst measures which
might be resorted to in case our situation re
quired additional taxation. In order to bring
that subject before the House, that they might
determine whether at the present crisis it was
or was not necessary to continue the Mediter
ranean fund and the duty on salt, he moved
the following resolution :
Jlex.olvrd, That the committee of Ways
and Means be instructed to inquire int«*> the
expediency of continuing for a limited time
the du ies now payable by law on imported
salt ; and c/'coiitiiiuiug in force for a limited
time the law imposing the duties called the
Mediterranean fund; and that they report
I thereon by bill or otherwise.
