a copy of the Report and Resolutions
of the Legislature of Md. concerning
the public lands, which were yesterday
laid before the Senate by Mr.. Pinek-
ney; and they were ordered to lie on
the table.

Mr.. Cooke moved to strike out of
the Senate's amendments the provision
for {" one Major General, with two
Aids de Camps" which motion was
supported by Messrs. Cooke, Foot.
Cobb. Hardin Little, Mallary, and r.
Mo"re, on principle and expediency ;
and it was opposed by Messrs. Barbour,
Storrs, Clay and Nelson, of Va. on the
ground that as the Senate had made
the amendment. they would probably
adhere to it; that if disagreed to by
this House, il might put the whole bill
IN jeopardy; that much would still have
been done in the way of retrenchment
even if this provision passed. it would
be better not TO endanger the bill by
rejecting this provision. Mr.. Kinsey
opposed he motion on principle, deem
