The Committee take leave to observe,
That the duties nov 3aYasle on importation do
not. IN their opinion, operate as protecting

The debate in the House Of Representa-

Minister 10 RUSSIA, has been carried nv some
gentlemen concerned in il. to most unwar
rantahle lengths. The remarks Of 5Ir. Bur

ard political, old not Justify the rude. un.
courteous, and vulgar reply Of Mir CAMprG-

cited! Where was the dignity, decency, or
decorum, of calling Mr. BURGEs "a bald

not MIR. Chanberlcns forget Llmselfwhcn he
denounced Mr.. BIS remarks as "basc. GROSS

such as gentlemen use, even when excited by
political matters. 1t will be well, however.
IL MT Chamberleng does not find, before this
debate is over, that he has been griped in
| The talons Of this "ba'd headed vuture," and
that ne will be dismissed torn and lacerated
from the encounter. Mr. BURGEs is not the
man to suffer duughil cocks to clap their
