us the sentence OF Greek poet, " Mo

RESOLVED, That the committee for

hibiling by law the establishment; OF I'M
chortered Banking companies, and the
circulation of the noles OF such compa-
MICS within the District.
Mr.. Harrison, (of Ohio) moved the
adoption of the following resolution:

the armies OF the United States, are
now in distressed circumstances, and
no, not having received wounds or
disabilities, whilst in actual service, are
excluded from the benefits OF The pen
sion laws. and that the said committee
report by bill or otherwise.
Mr.. II said it had been his in,en-
tention TO offer, with this resolution,
some observations upoa the matter to
the House; but, under standing that
this course was not considered wholly
proper on Offering motion TO the
House, he should reserve his remarks
for another Stage Of the business He
did SO with the less reluctance, since
any remarks he should have made

The motion Of Mr.. II. as originally
