Congressional Proceedings.
From the National Inteiiigencer.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mon ,iay's PROCEEDINGS, continued.


.non,lay's proceedings, continued.
Mr.. Wright submitted resolution
which after being modified at the sugges-
tion of Mr.. Lathrop was read in Tie fol.
lowing words:
RESOLVED. That committee be appoint.
ed to enquire into the expediency of pro.
viding, by law, more efectually to pro
!ect the rights of those entitled to the
service or labor of persons in one state,
under the laws thereof, escaping into an
other. and for their delivery to their right
full owners-agreeably to the provisions
of the Constitution.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio moved TO amend
the same, so as to refer it to the committee
on the Judiciary, instead OF select COM
mIttee.
A discussion ensued on the question of
reference, in which Messrs Wright and S.
Smith opposed and Messrs Tomlinson and
Moore supported the amendment, which
was put and carried-ayes 70. noes 60.
Tin the course of the discussion. Mr..
Wright warmly deprecated the interfe-
renee of Quakers and others to prevent
the reclamation OF slaves in some OF the
States, and limited, that if efiectual means
were not taken to secure the rights Of the
Southern States in this particular, he did
not know but they might be driven to
take up arms to protect them. Mr.
Campbell and Mr.. Tomlinson did not Cd.
pose the reference Of the subject, but ar
gued that references 10 standing commit
tees were preferable, when the subjects
naturally belonged to committees Of that
description.
The resolution was thereupon adopted.
Mr.. S. Smith moved that the house now
proceed to the consideration of the resolu.
ton submitted by MIN on Saturday last in
relation to an inquiry into the present
state OF the ordnance and military stores
OF the United States.
The house agreed to consider the same
whereupon-
Mr. Smith remarked, that FIVE or six
years ago, the committee OF Ways and
Means, or application OF the War Depart
ment, had proposed an appropriation for
the purchase Of cannon for the use of the
United States. 1t war thought best, how
ever, at that time, to postpone the subject
until the price of labor should be reduced
to peace standard. The enormous prr
ces which the commotions of Europe had
raised, were now fallen; and it was be-
