on till Monday next.
Thil motion was Objected to by
Messrs. Quincy, Livermore, Tai.
madge and Smile, and supported by
Messrs. Love, Fisk, Marion, w. Al
ston, Khea, Stanford and Macon,
The reasons urged for poslpon-

sc for the consideration of the re
port of the committee that so much
business was before the House that il
would be impossible now properly to
FIX the time OF adjournment and thai
rews might be daily expected from

affect the duration of the session. ii

without consulting the yepOrt of the
committee, what business was before
the House that, when he tins of adj.
ioumment was fax d, the House would
do IS much in one d.;y as it now did
in three; aud that if an expectation OF
news from Europe was reason for
Protracting the session, Congress
would never adjourn.
