A letter from gentleman at WaJbingtu1
TO bis friend in this town fays, " Congrets
ha> done very isttle buhneTs of importance
OF late. The mott important fubje6t be-
tore the Senate il the rcloluton to alter
ffe contribution refpetting the mode of
chooGng PRECEDENT and Vice Preident.-
i he democratic party nearly three weeks
fnce urged rhis iubie6t with fuch vehe-
nence that it was with the utmoa Difficult
ty~that the minority could obtain pot-
ponement for one day. 1t was however
diicoyered and fome of the democrats be-
gan TO doubt the policy of the meafure as
il rcipe6ts their States and that fome of
them would certainly vote with the min
ority, and that this would prevent their
obtaining two-thirds of the Senate. This
diicovery has induced them TO pot
Npone the fubjea from week to week, and
it is uncertain when they may pIeafe to
take il up, Yesterday the Senate had
very animated debate upon this queltion.
MIR. Butler (Southcarolina) one of the
democratic party, moved that the Senate
iilouid conGder the iubjed immediately,
and demanded that agreeably to ulage
and to the rules of decorom, gentlemen
in favor of pofponement fhould afign
their reafons. This called forth number
of lpeakers on each fde, and altho' the
majority was prepared to bring the quef-
ton 20 decilion, it was again poaponed,
Various reAfons were aligned for this
procedure, and at lat an honorable mem
Der thought proper to declare that his
