Mr.. IFhtte called up his resolution (foi.

which was objected toby General BRADLEY
who said he preferred the resolution in it's
original form he wished to see all the or

been issued since the commencement of the
wars OF the French revolution he was de

Mr.. White said he was not tenacious of his
amendment he was willingto adhere to his
original resolution and (Mr. Thurston ha-

OF Mr.. Burwell going to the same object, but
WHICH went back to 1871, one year prior

Mr.. Reed calletlu his resolution relative
to stationary of home manufacture Mr..
Mitchell proposed 10 amend it BY inserting
the words " as far as can be procured"
Mr.. Reed said he was extremely desirous
to give decided preference to articles of
American manufacture, not only as it res
peeted stationary, but with regard to eve
ry other species ofmanufactulc. The cues
uon on the amendmentbe being taken it was a.
greed to.
The question on the motion as amended be-
ing about to be put, MIR. Anderson said he
preferred the original motion. He wished
not that the idea should go abroad to the
world, that we could not manufacture in
this country the materials of writing. We
certainly (said MIR. h.) possess patriotism
srhicientto use such articles as can be made
in this country, though not so handsome as
those imported. BY giving sufficient encou-
ragement we should soon have them of a
quality equal to those of foreign workman

Mr.. Reed would agree 20 the resolution
as amended. He would take as much as ne
could s9in ct his object. 1t was agreed to.
