The Army Bill is still under dis

greater warmth Of feeling, the fur
Their it progresses. Mr.. Speaker
Clay availed himself Of the oppOr-
tunity which the recommitment Of
the bill to the committee OF the
whole house was intended to afford
him, and occupied the floor for Sc
veral hours on Friday and Saturday
inclusive. In the course OF lis re-
marks he noticed with much aes'i;uo-
ny some Of the observations that
were made by Mr.. Quincy or Tues

reproOf contained in these observa-
tons, must have been TO those who
