In obedience TO your commands, pc

was communicated to me by Mr.. Robert
Smith, that any demand of further punish

The house took up the report of the COM

on molten of Mr. Gholdssn, it was post
,poned until tomorrow.
The house wsnt into committee Of the
whole-Mr. DEsnA in the chair-on the
bill respecting commercial intercourse be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
and France and their dependencies.
Mr. Pickman moved to strike out the
fifth section, and spoke at considerable
length in favor of his motion.
Ar. .Sepbert spoke at length against the
bill altogether. He went into history Of
the trade ofour country, and evinced that
he is true disciple of the great colonel Of
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Livermore spoke against the section,
but wished the bill not to be entirely lost on
account of the Objectionable parts.
Mr.. Potter was against the bill excep,
the first and second sections. He consider
ed that if this bill should pass, i, would f.
nally be worse than the embargo or nom
intercourse.
Mr.. Macon rose to explain, and 10 speak
in favor of the bill.
Ar. Ross spoke against the section: He
was for protecting commerce, or he WA
for putting no restrictions on it. He would
have been happy to have seen section en-
towering the president totft out our de-
cayed navy and to protect commerce. But
until some such thing !, done he was for
laying no restrictions On our suffering mer.
chants. If the section was leading to war
he should not object to i. on that account {;
for he thought we were driven to situa-
ton from which nothing but force could
redeem us.

hope and trus. they will prevent it. In
times like these it is right to appeal to the
people, not in the attitude and language OF
sedi,ion and rebellion, but liz the attitude
and Languages Of argument and expostu'a-
ton. Mr.. Ross has already entered the
appeal on tie apart Of the admlnlsu alton.
He says the people must arouse from their
slumbsrs and take firm measures against
their foes, meaning, that they must de-
nounce, prosecute, and silence, an honest
and independent minority. The people
will indeed take firm measures, but not
exactly such as Mr.. Ross would wish'-
They have already checked their govern

they will do it again. The " Dogs OF war"

and the pr6priety of the resolution was very
