e. On motion of MIR. Crownnshield, the Hous
be then went into committee of the whole, Mr.. Ste
venson, of Va. in the chair, on the State of til
" Union, to take up the Report of the Commute
BY of Foreign Relations, the Message of the Presi
OF dent of the United States, respecting the nissio
Sc 10 Panama. -
he Mr.. VerpIancS, of New York, then addresse
ne the Committee In support of the amendment of M.
e. McI4ane.
r. Mr.. Carter, of South Carolina, and Mr. yvea,o,
at of Maryland, followed on the same side: when. o
e. motion OF Mr.. McLane, of Del. the Commi,,e
rose.
q MI Cook, oil Illinois, gave notice that, (the la
De OF adjournment being now ixed,) as soon as III
IN gentleman who had just obtained the floor 70
CT Monday, should have concluded theremarks wlc
ne intended addressing to the committee, he shoul
I'LL make motion that the committee of the whole O
s. the Stale of the Union, be discharged from N
DC further consideration OF the report of the Commute
l. OF Foreign Affairs and that afterw ards with vie,
e to test the determination of the House on tbi
no subject, he should move to lay the report upon III
u table, and on the motion, should demand the yea
as and nays.
ne Mr.. Forsyth said, that, whenever the honorabl
e gentleman, any other of the friends of the pro
eo posed mission, should attempt TO fores,aIl the f
debate OF that measureby such motion as had no,
~ been notified, he should move such change in III
u appropriation bill for the expenses of the mission
ne would bring the debate precisely where the gen
us tleman's motion had left it. Mr.. F. said that
m putt 10 the conscience s. the chastened Judgment
~ every member of the House, whether the cours
ne with which they were threatened, and which ha
" been in part pursued by the gentleman from Mass
ne chusetts, was worthy of this House The Hoys
IL had called for the documents respecting the mr.
'er posed mission--they had been sent withou, r,
ei serve The House had got full and fair exposiio
ny OF the Presidents sentiments, and had sent il TO
&c committee. That committee had made a repor
which conceded with the sentiments of the Exec
eli utve, and fully discussed the expedieocy of III
ce mission and as soon the House begins TO con
IN slider the subject, they are gravely told that il is
us departure from the Constitution and that thew mus
ne pass the appropriation bill without any decision
IN to the expediency OF the mission. But if the an
e. Precipitation bill is passed without an expression
the sentiments Of this House. the inference will h
NJ that, the doctrines and intentions of the Pres
x dent fully set forth, and the Representa,ie
of the People passed the bill with full kno,yIeJo
y of them, they pledged themselves and to pos
o. terity TO carry them into full effect In the case
IN MIR. Monroe's celebrated message, it is now beJ
be that; if it disapproved, some expression q
that disapprobation should have been made by N
a. House-and, as that was not the case it is assam
IN cd that the House approved it and we are asked
who raised his voice against that message or il
doctrines in IS232 Tfr (,overnrDan, Ill -, =.
