The message, report and document* aecotnpany
ingthe same were referred to a select committee
Composed of Messrs. Newton, Milnor, Nelson, Co
chran, Winn, Howard, Hale, Hickman and Mum
lord.
A motion was made bj Mr. Lewis, to print tbe
message and documents. This motion was opposed
by Messrs. Newton and Eppes who contended that
an other nation in existence ever officially exposed
to the world the precise state and disposition of its
military force, and at this time particularly it
would be improper lor us to do it.
Messrs. Ely, Lyon, Macon, and Tallmadge sup
ported the motion for printing, alledging that there
was no occasion for secrecy nr concealment in rela
tion to an army of five ar six thousand men, as a
knowledge of their precise destination and situati
on would be of no importance to an enemy, if we
had one, hot was important to the people of the
IL States.
Before the question on printing was decided, the
house adjourned.*
^ 1 he miserable sure 01 me army at Mew-Ur
leans was given in our last.
Friday, February 2.
The question under consideration yesterday when
the house adjourned, for printing the report of the
secretary of war, was carried in the affirmative, 50
t 38.
Mr. Dawson moved that the select committee to
whom this report was referred, should be discharg
ed from the further consideration of it, in order to
refer it to the standing committee on our military
affairs —Motion negatived, Ayes If).
Mr. Love, from the committee on the District
of Columbia, made a report concluding with the fol
lowing resolution:
“ Resolved, That the prayers of the several pe
ition-rs to continue the eharterofthebankof Alexan
dria, and to grant charters to the banks of Poto

Mr. Mumford moved to amend the motion by
adding a rail tor “ such information has he (the

The report of (be committee on the subject of in
corporating the batiks of Washington, Alexandria,
Columbia, and Union Bank of Cisorge-town, was
takeu up and referred ta a committee of the whole.
national Banks. 1
Mr. Sawyer, after some prefatory rematks, mov
ed for the consideration of the resoluthws some
time ago laid on the table by Mr. Nicholson.
Mr. Sawyer moved to refer to a select commit,
tee the first clause in the first resolution, in t|i* fol
lowing words : “ Resolved, that provision be made
by law for a general national establishment of banks
throughout the United States."
Mr. Smiiis suggested the propriety of referring
it to the committee aupointed on the memorial «1
the President and Directors of the Bank oi' the U.
States.
Mr. Dana conceived that the proposition, taken
connectedly, had in view two broad principles, the
first, to facilitate intercaurseund external improve
ment generally ; the second, to provide the means
of carrying that principle into effect. He doubled
the propriety, under the. idea of referring the sub
ject to committees, of tiios rutting up any propo
sition submitted by a member ol the house.
Mr. Ross moved to refer this clause to a com
mittee of the whole house, because he conceived it
to involve a great constitutional question, which in
the first place ought to he settled in committee of
the whole. The important question which ought
to be considered is—whether the congress ol jhe
United Slates are vested with any authority what
ever to institute nr charter institutions of this kind l
On this point he did express no opinion ; hot he
was coafident it was a question which had divided
the ablest heads and best hearts of the country, und
therefore should be maturely considered.
Mr. Love concurred with Mr. lloss in opinion as
to the importance of the constitutional question.
By the report of the committee on the petitions of
the banks ot this district this morning referred, the
subject was expressly before a committee ot the
whole. This motion might be referred to that com
mittee. Unquestionably, from the magnitude of the
subject, it should first be discussed in comm.lice of
the whole.
Mr. Nicholson said that, since he had offered the
first resolution, a part of which was now postponed
to be referred, he had entertained some doubts ot
the constitutionality of the measure, wloeb were
net yet wholly removed ; and he bad therefore no
objection to the reference to a committee of the
whole for further discussion.
fl be motion to reler to a committee of the whole
was negatived.
I lie motion to refer tn a select committee was
ncoHtivtd by a large majority.
1'he subject of course still lies on the table.
Go motion of Mr. Montgomery.
ltis'thed, ’1 hat the rommiitee appointed on so
much ot the message of the president of the United
States of C.Qtb Nov. last, as nlatt-s to our mu hi try
establishment be instructed to enquire whether any
and what alterations it is expedient to make in the

for the government of the army of the United
Lutes,' and that they have leave to report by bill
or otherwise,
I iie bill to extend the tifue for locating Virginia
military land warrants and returning the survey
thereof into the department of war, went through
a committee of the whole, Mr. Pitkin in the choir
—and} the blank (or the lime of extension having
been tilled, oh the suggestion of Mr. GprUnd, with
“ five’ years—the bill was ordered to be engrossed
for a third reading.
ska-letter vessels.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the
whole, Mr. Pitkin in the chair, on the bill to pre
vent the issuing of tea Ictleis, except to certain
vessels.
Some desultory debate took plure on the bill, rn
which Messrs. Newton, Quincy, Marion, Dana, K.
Jackson, M'Kim, Livermore and Mumlord partook,
Mr. Jarkson alone appearing to be opposed to the
object of it, which., was slated to be, to prevent
those vessels considered by our revertue laws as fo
reign vessels, from claiming the protection of the
American tlag^on the sea, and thus favoring frauds
by means ol lorged papers.
The bill, after being amended so as to exclude
from the operation ot the law vessels now owned by
citizens ol the United States, was imparted to the
house.
On' the suggestion of Mr. Dana, it was ordered
to lie for consideration till to-morrow.
1 he bill to revive and make permanent an act
providing the mode of taking evidence in cases oi
contested elections, and to compel the attendance
of witnesses in such cates, went through a com
mittee of the whole, Mr. Pitken in the chair, und
was rrported to the hous». But
Before any question was taken on it, the house
adjourned.
