Mr. Nj. remarked, that he did not intend to go
over the ground already occupied, but ms there was
no other way by which hts proposition could be
spread on thr journalistic now rhered II as an a
m,nment, and asked for the ayes and noes on the
question,
Mr.. Ronne offered an amendment (Which the re.
porter could not obtain) to Mr. Ma,shaiIs su3st
tutc, aud made few remarks III lts support, in
! which he censu,cd the proceedings OF South Coio-
lima and the prncitles OF the Presidents Pro- lama
ton.
Mr. Da,lc thought the time FOR speech. making
was at an end aud lIa, it wasiow the time for ne
ton. lie had decided upon voting Tor the subs''-
tutb offered by the gentleman from Hanover, ana
believed II II had been oeieti sooner, the matter ~

stlute Of the gentleman from Iau4ucr, ana II
should vote for il uudor present clfennlathbces ie
thought II would be dovogntiug from the sovereign

the gentleman from Fsuquicr present / Nopc. 1t
WINS nothing but appeal 10 the people o' south
Carolina, 10 Take into consideration the glory oio
ancestors The amendment Of the gentleman
from Hanover was the best Of the two ard came
nearer to the plan originally submitted by himself
, IN the Committee -Iio should therefore take II as
the best before the House. The attention Of the
House had been frequently called to the principles
. contained in the Proclamation Of the President
When he first read them lie would glndy'lh
dropped tear over them md boted them out l1f-
ever The feelings of the House on that subject
were well known. The gentleman from Au9uita
had carly in the definite offered resolution nppro-
, wing ofthe Proclamation in all It's parts md they
wei, remembered the vote upon II. lie thought
the rea friends of Andrew Jackson should tell INN
what principles they approved and what they DIS
approved 1t would shew independence and disin-
terestedncss lie did not believe that gentlemen
who now appr.- cd his Proclamation would here
, after approve a single act of his administration.
They applauJed this act becauee II was consonant
with then own views. Andrew Jackson was Ii
r man Of results rather than details lie 40 uoho'
deemed il expedient and his duty, to issue the Pro
clamaiion for the preservation of the Union and
, although be may have taken too rank hold upon
the rights OF the States Yet, he MID believed
, his motives and intentions were pure lie had
done more to sustain the doctrines of Virginia than
any other man, and he was entitled lioS lar to res
I pect and gratitude.
MIR Brodnnx said he did not arise TO debate the
, question. He believed the vessel MAS now IN sight
Of port and that the labors OF the mariners might
soon be suspended He rose merely to explain the
/ vote he should give. The question was now on
: the amendment, offered by the gentleman from Han
over. lfthat adopted the vote would he then
on the substitute of the gentleman from Fauquei
as amended He did not thoroughly understand
. all the views of the gentleman from Hanovers a
mendment. 1t was proposition OF some length
and he has. emily heard it read once from the Clerk
= table But he thaught il better than the PROPOSE
ton Of the gentleman from Fauquier, and he should
vote for i, on the principle that some people might
choose to tuke species Of poison IN preference to
another
Some further debate took place and the ayes am
noes having been ordered, the question v as pu, on
Mr. Roane's amendment, and the vote was, Ayes
/, 70, Noes 49,
u The question then recurring on Mr.. MarshelPs
II substitute as amended after conversation,
|, the ayes and nQes were called, and the vote was
Ayes 7, Noes 1913.

ling under consideration, Mr.. Brodnnx moved to a.
