The question recurredpn agreeing to the
report.
Mr.. Randolph movtd p postpone the fur
tutT ColSiucfttiOu CIl inc report I'LL tO-InOr-
row, in order that it night be printed.
Mr.. Macon wiShet some such motion to
prevail. He had inended to move that it lie
on the table till tomorrow. (Mr. Randolph
| withdrew his motiono give place to Mr.. M's.)
MIR. M. said it was perfectly immaterial to
him which of the Eations was made. His OBJ
lJect, he could assuIf the House, was not de-
lay He had examried the resolutions offer
| ed blythe gentlemarfrom PennsylyaDia-. 70
, the first he had no election; but as 20 the SCI
cond, it appeared D him that if it were the
wish OF the gentleTlan to protract the public
business, this resolution wculd answer his pui-
pose. He did not believe this was intended.
| But there is more hsiness given to that corn
mittee than can bcsot through in any reason
able time. The I'd rule Of proceripg dis
patch by dividing he labor, was in this case,
| abandoned. In hi opinion, what relates to
the army ought d e,e to.one committee, and
what relatesto tn navy TO another, and so on.
| He knew that on ;formeroccasion, some diff
Guilty had arisen rom the message not hav-
ing been accurately dissected; but with ordi-
nary care this night he avoided. Heghad no
doubt if the buiness was thus divided, it
would be done mach sooner. Not that he ex
pected Congress would adjourn any earlier
but the reports Would be had III less time, and
report might lie o. the table until tn-morrow,
| that the resolutions might be- examined, and
proper appointments prepared.
I Mr.. Smile rePsated his reasons for wish
i ing one committee might have under view
the whole subject of defence.
The question was pit and negatived, 6s
to AZ.
Mr.. Randolph movedfor the reading of the
documents which being objected to, he cal
led for the Yeas and Naysupon the question
which were taken as folbws:

The first resolution was ten taken up ant
agreed to. When the question on The SECOND
was put,
Mr.. d. r. Williams rose.o ascertain whe
ther it was the sense Of the rouse that all tn,
objects embraced in this resolution should 2,
TO one committee, or they should be divided
among several For this purpose, he moved
to strike out the general expressions, to in
sert the words SIR filing ne ranks, fro
" ionging the enlistment efreguLar trooh
" and If auxiliary force" IL would be seer
to be his object, to give all that relates to tht
army, to one committee, ali that relates /,
the navy TO another, &c. He was of Opinion
also that several objects contained in the mes
| sage had been overlooked
The motion for striking out was carried
70 votes being in favor Of it but when til,
blank came to be filed, much dcsultory de
bate took place. Some members wished {,
insert other words than those proposed b.
the gentleman from =. Carolina but thi
was deemed out Of order. AZ length, It wa
agreed that the blank must be filed with tn,
| words proposed, but that other words nigh
afterwards be added by way Of amendment
/ This was accordingly done.
