IN SENATE.

On motion of Mr.. Hayne, Resolved, That
so much Of the Presidents Message as relates
to- the provision for General LAFAYETTE be re-.
lerred TO select committee OF five.
In making this motion, Mr.. Haype oh
served, that II was not his object that the Com
mlttee should act Immediately upon il, be-
cause the subject was already ,in good hands
IN the other House but the committee here
might, IN the mean time, be obtaining infor-
nation Tor the use Of the Senate, when the
subject should come before il.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Brown, TO appoint committee on roads and
canals, was then taken up.
Mr. Chandler observed, that he was one of
those who believed that this was subject nm
which Congress had no right 10 Iegislate /;
mat he believed il 10 be Unconstitutional and
tDat, Tor h's part he was determined 10 raise
ms voice and vote against the resolution.
Mr. RugSles said, it would be impossible
10 proceed regularly without committee ON
tn's subject that il was the practice Of ,be
SENATE and very necessary one, to have
such committee.
Mr. Noble said he was sorry 10 find tbe
gentleman tromsiaine opposed 10 the appoin,.
tnfnt OF committee on this subject. He
thought The gentlemau's scFuples would have
tne enough TO operate upon bis mind here.

the Presidents calling the attention Of Con-
Sress to the sHbjcct OF internal Improvements
ana observed, IN relation to the message, that.
though he bad not the greatest confidence in
