Tho question was upon an amendment of the Senate.
MIR. White Of Florida, moved that the amendment BIO
concurred in by the House, which was agreed up.
DUTIES ON
The House, on motion OF MIR. Mallary, then went in
toa Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union,
Mr.. Polk in the Chair, on the bills regulating certain du-
ties on imposts.
Mr.. Everett, of Mass, concluded his remarks in vim
dication OF the policy of the bill.
Mr.. Mallary deprecated any further delay in coming
to q decision upon the subject. He had studiously avoid
cd taking any part in tho discussion that had grown out
oil n, Tor he was convinced that n continuance of long
speeches would be detrimental TO the interests of both
the agriculturalist and the manufacturer. He (Mr.
Mailary) was anxious to provide for the common well
fare OF each; and he would 20 half way-indeed he
would go ninety-ninc rods out Of a hundred, 10 attain
that object.
MIR. Drayton next addressed the House at length, in
opposition TO the bill.
Mr.. Denny then took the floor, and spoke till the hour
OF adjournment.
Mr.. Denny supported the bill, and argued in favor of
a protective system, which he commended, was indispcn-
SADLY necessary to ensure the permanent prosperity of
the nation.
Mr.. Burgess move that the Committee rise.
The motion was negatived by a vote Of II to 81.
The question was then called for. IL was upon the
amendment proposed by Mr.. McDuHic.
Mr.. McDuGie observed, that il any gentleman felt
disposed to address the Committee upon the measure be.
fore them, that he had perhaps better do so now. He
Mr.. McDuifie) would, for that purpose, willingly waive
the right OF reply, until the end of the discussion by
others. He would wait, If deemed necessary, until mid
night for tho purpose OF passing the bill through the
Commluce, which II was necessary should be done this
day. He trusted that gentlemen would, in this instance
act according to Parliamentary usage, and give inter.
ance to their opinions with respect to the amendmen,
submitted to them, previous to his repl; to the objec.
tons urged against it.
Mr.. Ramsey then resumed the motion for the Com.
mittee to rise. Upon a division, there appeared ayes 81
noes 81.
The Committee, therefore, again refused to rise.
Mr.. Burgess thought that, at that hour (nearly 8 o.
clock) no gentleman, having a right to speak, shout,
be forced into the discussion. For his own part, III
MIR. BY reserved his right to deliver his scntiments up
on. the measure at any future period.
Mr.. Carson: As it appears " to speak or not to spca ak
that is the question:" l shall movo that the Commute,
