ing vote on it, and suggested that the course
should be. to move the bill from the Committee
on Manufactures as an amendment to the other
bill
The Chair observed, that the proposition to lay
aside the bill aad proceed to consider another,
was perfectly in order.
MI. Davis rose to express his hope that his COL
league would withdraw his proposition until the
next day. 1t did not seem to have been antici-
pated on the part Of the House, who evidently
wished that the debate should proceed, at least
for this day. And if he should deem it exPedi'
ent, the proposition could be renewed. WIN
respect to the amendment he had formerly stat.
ed it vas his intention to offer, he did intend to
offer an amendment. though it might not be IN
precisely the form he had originally proposed;
but. as he had no, yet determined IN what man,
ner it should be made. he was not then prepared
to submit it. With respect to the point OF Or
der in dispute, he thought the subject before the
committee was, for the consideration OF the spe-
c,fic hill reported from the Committee OF Ways
and Means. That bill had been under discus
sion on Monday and to-day. The proposition
now to lay it aside, and take up another bill, was
irregular. The bills were OF distinct charac-
ter, although in relation to a common matter;
and he could not think it was competent for any
member to SO far extend the rules OF the House,
as to allow of argument in debate on one bill,
which had been laid aside.
Mr.. Adams said, having been fortified by the
decision of the Chair IN his opinion, that the de-.
bate on the bill could not, under the eircumstan'
ces, be arrested, he did not feel himself At ber'
ty to withdraw The proposition he had submitted;
the matter was now subject to the decision OF the
Committee.
The Chair repeated that the whole subject in
relation to the Tariff was before the Committee;
a majority had decided that the bill reported
from the Committee of Ways and Means should
be taken up and considered. 1t was equally
competent for majority to lay it aside; this
would not preclude debate on either bill, and in
by the presiding officer 1.-THE Speaker,) whom he
consulted.
In order to get rid Of the difficulty. Mr.. su-
therland suggested to Mr.. Appleton that he
could at once attain bis object, TO address the
bill before the House-which would have pre-
cedence over the motion to lay it aside: there
upon
Mr. Appleton moved to amend il by striking
out the first section. which motion being debate
able, he proceeded to address the House at length
in reply to Mr.. Med. after which, before any
question was taken on the amendment, on mo.
ton Of Mr.. Bouldin, the Committee rose and re.
ported, asked and obtained leave to sit again,
and the House then adjourned

had been greatly understated by the Government.
This is now proved to be fact. More than
eleven thousand deaths have taken place in Pa

that this number will increase to $4,000.
Nevertheless, let me record the cheering fact.

in one day. that the day before yesterday the
