! rest with the President of the United States.
but with the district attorney, more especi-
ally If not only unauthorized but unsanction-
ed =.
MIR. Randoihh observed that he had not
said that he suspected this or that man. II
ms own impression was worth any thing, he
did not believe that any direction on this
SUBJECT had been given by the late President
OF the United States. But this was his mere
belief; and it was impossible to saw where
the blame rested.
Mr.. .Pitk-n said he rose not to enter into
the discussion. but to state fact which had
not been mentioned. Reference has been
made to the grand jury and the district at.
torney, (said Mr.. P.) and the gentleman
from Massachusetts seems to suppose that
the district attorneyis the mere agent of the
grand jury. Whatever is the law OH this
point is totally immarerial at present the
gentleman however is mistaken as to the
origin OF these suits. understand the fact
to have been that the district Judge, who
was appointed under the late administration,
was sole acting Judge in the court in conse-
quence OF the absence of the other Judge
In ms charge to the grand jury he particu-
iar!y called their attention to libeiious publ
cations against the government of the Unit
cd States. That charge was printed in. one
OF the newspapers of that state: in that
one, believe, in which the laws of the
U. States are printed. In consequence of
what was delivered to the grand jury, they
took the subject into consideration and made
the presentments. merely state this as tic
fact.
= a motion was now made by Mr.. GhoLSon
to insert the word g CRIMINAL before he
word ''ff'osecmgon in the resolution, VIII ,:h
produced adesultory debate of more than an.
hour OH the powers of the federal and state
courts, turning chiefly on the construction
OF the words of the first part Of the second
section of the Sd article of the constitution
OF the U. States. Messrs. ]. G.. jackson. RAN
doiph, Gholson, Love and Nelson partook of
the debate in the course Of which
Mr.. TaAmadse took occasion to quote the
journals to shew that several motions on the
subject OF those prosecutions had been made
IN this House in January, lSo7 /; and he OBJ
served, that after this, how any s-entlema an in
public life could to this day have remained
Ignorant of the fact, was to him astonishing
He expressed himself highly pleased that
this subject was at length taken up, and hop
ed that no delay would obstruct AN cnouiry
or prevent the passage of law for the pro-
lection of citizen in future
Mr. Ghofson withdrew his motto, To insert
the word "criminal )" and the motion was
agreed to unanimously by Yeas and Nays,
ia voting in the, affirmative.

MONDAY, May 80.
Messrs. Smile, Say and Cook, appeared
and took their seats.
VOTE OF APPRECIATION.
Immediately on the meeting of the House
Mr. Randolph called for the consideration
OF his resolution on the subject of the conduct
OF the President in the late accommodation
with G.. Britain.
The Sneaker decided that the motion was
not now in order, inasmuch as it was set
tied practice of the House to devote the first
hour of each days session TO the receiving
petitions, reports, &c. Mr.. Randolph ap-
pcaled from his decision, and after CONVEX
sation on the point of order, which occupied
nearly two hours, in which Messrs. Ran
dolph, Smile, w. Aston, Dana, Bacon, ].
G. Jackson, Boyd, Gholson, Quincy, Potter,
Or. l. Pitkin, GARDENER and Key, took a
part, the Speakers decision was affirmed by
yeas and nays-77 to 4S.
The hour having more than passed,
Mr.. RandoLhh again called for the consi-
Iteration of his resolution, and the House a.
greed to take 1t up by yeas and nays sc to
90.
1t will be recollected by our readers that
the motion pending at the time of adjourn
ment on Friday last, was for an indefinite
postponement of the subject.
Mr.. Dana, not expressing any opinion
how he might ultimately vote OH the ques-
ton, was nevertheless opposed to indefinite
postponemcnt of the resolution, and stated
his reasons 1T length.
MIR. Randoihh followed Mr.. Dana in a
speech of about two bours in length, i'm sup
port of his motion and against postponement,
which he considered equivalent to rejection,
inasmuch as the subject could not be revived
during the session. '-sI
When Mr.. Randolph concluded, motion
was made by Mr.. Smile to adjourn, and car

TUESDAY, May 80:
THIRD CENSUS OF THE u. STATES

:. TUESDAY, May so:
THIRD CENSUS OF THE u. STATES
Mr.. RandoLiih said that it was now precise.
ly ten years since he had the honor of being
member Of this house. The first session OF
the sixth Congress was held at Philadelphia
in December 80; and at that session law
was passed for taking the second census oi
the inhabitants of the u. S. Ithad been then
allowed on all hands that that law was de-
layed SD long, that the marshals had not time
to make the proper enuneration in as accu-
rate and faithful manner as it ought to have
been done. On the third census ofthe people
OF the u. States would depend not merely the
gross numbers of this house. but the relative
weight ofthe Southern & Western, & in fact
OF the middle & Eastern states, for perhaps
none were increasing with greater rapidly
than the two great middle states of New York
q Pennsylvania. lie thought it proper that
provision should be made at this session for ia
king the third census. Such a provision could
not accelerate the time, but would enable the
officers OF the u. States to take proper means
to ensure the excellence of the work.
lie therefore moved
That provision ought to be made by law
for taking the third census Of the inhabitants
of the u. s."
