motion, to enable him to make some explanation in
reference TO charge which had appeared in one
Of the morning papers; but Mr.. W., after some
hesitation, declining to dose
The Speaker put the question sustaining the
call, and it was decided in the affirmative, Ayes
l0S.
The Speaker then put the previous question: in
the following words ".Shall the main question
now be puts
The yeas and nays having been demanded
were ordered by the House, and stood as follows ::
Yeas l22, Nays65.
The Speaker then put the main question, in
the following words 90 Shall this bill pass''' and
il was decided by Yeas and Nays, as follows:
Yeas I05, Nays "a.
So the bill was passed.
The question then recurring on the title Of the
bill,
Mr. Wilde moved to amend it by adding the
words &c and for the encouragement of domestic
manufactures
Mr.. Randolph opposed the motion, insisting that
domestic manufactures meant those which were
carried on in the families OF farmers, in the fabrca-
ton of what used to he called Virginia cloth; and
that the bill if it had it, true name, should be call
ed bill to rob and plundcr nearly one half the
Union, for the benefit of the residue Sc. Let
the friends of the bill christen their own chief
he would not stand godfather to it. The title was
merely cd cdptd1dun, pulgus; the the words on
the continental money ridculed in Smiths verses
g Liner natalie so,ur.
Fine words indeed wonder where Won stole 'em,
The bill referred to manufactures of no sort or
kind, but the manufacture Of President of the
United States.
Mr.. Wilde, after brief reply, in which he as
sented to MIR. RS opinion of the bill but thought
tbe manufactures in the family ought to be called
household manufactures, consented TO withdraw
his amendment.
Mr.. Drayton then moved 20 amend the title as
follows:
Strike out all after &c An act," and insert to in
crease the duties upon certain imports, for the
purpose OF increasing the profits of certain manu-
facturers'
MIR. d., after some general remarks on the iniu-
rious and unconstitutional character of the bill,
stated the main reason for his desiring to amend
the title was, that decision might be had on its
consttutionality, by an appeal TO the Supreme
Court Of the United States, which
might arise under its operation. This could not be
done, il the title remained as it stood
y declaration by the power which enacted the
law, that it was intended for the protection of
certain manufacturers, would bring up the
constitutional question, whether Congress could
increase the duties imports for such pnr-
pose.
MIR. Hodges moved to amend the amendment OF
Mr.. Drayton, by adding TO it as follows:
And to transfer the capital and industry Of the
New England States to other States in the I'm
ion.''
Whcreupon,
Mr.. Bartlett moved the prepiotis question on
The table.
The House sustained the CALI the previous ques-
having been put follows Shall this be the title
of the bill? it was carried without division
So the bill was passed, and ordered TO be sent
20 the Senate for concurrence. Nat, Int.
