Az tlc OcUute NAdy 90, he Dill TO r6~charter
the Bank of the United States, was taken up, and
Mr.. DALLAS spoke about one hour in explanation
of several notifications of the charter proposed
by the bill. Mr.. BENTON enquired whether il
was the intention of the Chairman TO press the
discussion, before documents, ordered TO be prin
tied by the other House, were laid on our tables.
Mr.. DALLAS replied, that he had no disposition
to proceed any further in the business until tbs
documents referred to were furnished. Mr..
MOORE moved to postpone the further considera-
ton Of the bill till Monday next, but withdrew it.
AT the suggestion of Mr.. WEBSTER and Mr..
Grumpy, itIwas informally determined to post.
pone the SUBJECT, from day TO day, till the docu-
ments werereceived; and, in the mean time, to
attend to Executive business.
In the Huse of Representatives, Mr.. ADAMS.
from the Cdnmittee OF Manufactures, presented
ia report on he subject of the Tariff, accompanied
by bill toalter and amend the several acts i'm.
posing dutis on imports, was read twice and re-
ferred to The Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Unidl.
Mr. ADAts said II was proper for him to state
the circumstances attending the formation of this
bill and reprt. The House would be pleased
to understand this bill, reported by order of ma.
lJority OF thecommittee, was framed on the basis
of the draft eported by the Secretary ofthe Treas
ury in answr to the cali made on that officer by
the House. In several sections that draft had
been depared from by the Committee. There
!, was disint diversity of opinion of two descrip.
tons in the Committee. No member of the Com
mittee was Understood to be committed upon any
particular pint of The hiIl--it was the general
bill as connected together that was agreed to BY
a majority T the Committee. As to the report,
the House would be pleased to consider that as
the act of tlb reporter alone. Portions of it had
met with th appreciation Of the Committae-oth-
er parts had not met the appreciation of any mem
Der but thereporter. He hoped this fact would
be be b9rns in mind by the House in the perusal of

this question, the Committee was divided in <be

Of compromise which was consistent with thosa

In the Committee correspondent feeling had
been expressed-and by no individual more dis.

points they had found their opinions widely anart
from each other. With many of the sentiments
contained in the report he not only agreed. but
felt grateful to the chairman of the committee for
the force with which they were expressed. But
with the general principles of that report he felt
compelled to express his decided Misrepresentation.
Those principles were not drawn from the limit
led powers given to this government by the con.
Istitution-but from the general grounds Of the SO.
cial compact. With reference to the bill lust re-
ported, he deemed it far more exceptionable TO
southern views and southern feelings. than the
bill reported to the House by the Secretary of the
Treasury. He had not been satisfied with that
|bill--he thought it concealed much exceptions.
BILE matter that did not appear on its surface--but
under all circumstances he had thought it would
be better to take il with all its evils than hazard
the occurrence of far greater evils. With these
remarks upon the principles of the report and bill
he would not detain the House further, until the
subject should come up regularly for discussion
Mr.. L. C0'DIcT moved to print 10000 comics
Of the bill and report, which was agreed to.

merce, reported bill authorising the entry Of
vessels from he Cape of Good Hope and beyond
the same, into the port of Edgartown, in the State
of Massachusetts, which was read twice and or,
