The following refoution, TO ciIee, the purpoie
he had in view:

and Manufactures be ufgrucled to enon;,e In
to the expediency of aholiillinS the osi e of
surveyor OF the port of I'homaRon, IN the diff
.r'et of Waldohrrough, and that they repor,
by bill or othervie--Agrecd 10.
Mr.. bom0J moves that the bill which was
before the Houfe lae FELTON,, on the fuhj ct OF
ihe Poa Office and Pnft Roads, and which was
indefinitely potPoned, with the petitions which
had been preiented on that fuhistt, fllould be
referred to the committee appointed to conf
der TINS tnbject at the pretent FELTON,.
Mr.. Dana doubted the proprie,y Of referring
a bill OF Taft fef1ion to any committee of this
Houfc.
Mr.. Tbomas faid that the PoR Office Com.
mttee was empowered to report by bill or

Mr.. T.yomnJ had no objection to modify his
motion, and to omit the reference of the bill.

to iupport them. He thought the ',et;sr way
would be for members to bring forward iuch al

to what had taken place at Ian irffi,n.
