lesge had made his attack upon him, with
out giving him sny notice Of his intention
to speak on the subject, and he expressed
his regret that his colleague should take
this occasion to sander the cies Of amhy
which had heretofore subsistea between
them.
Me- Pearce, in reply, insisted that he
had made no attack upon his colleague
His colleague had gone out Of his course
in his remarks, to make some statements
which, MS representative in part Of the
State Of Rhode Island, he felt bound TO
correct. Tho facts which he Mr.. p
had stated, were not denied. In what
then had he made any misrepresentation
on the subject Of the memorials dis OBJ
ject was to exhibit the views Of the people
Of Rhode Island on this subject in a trse
light. He believed that ifthe question Of
Bank or no Bank, were presented to the
people Of that State, therc would be found
a majority in opposition to the Bank
Three years ago there would not have
been FIVE hundred votes in opposition to
the Bank. But great change had tak-
en- place in public opinion on this subject
in Rhode Island. His colleague had CIV
en- to the House part of a speech which
had been connected for another occasion.
>-Chis was, peEhaps, as good an occaHon
~ nay for delivering it and i was not
his intention to mako any reply to his ar
gument. He wished his colleague TO-
learn that he was not to consult him in re-
gard 10 his course IN this house. In re-
lstion 10 his colleagues course, he should
never express any regret, and he hoped
that the colleague would cease to express
his regrets at his Mr. P's) course. Per-
souaIly, he entertained a regard for his
colleague, and, before this session, they
had commoRly acted together. That he
now difcredIrom his colleague, was only
proof tia: his colleague differed from
him.
Mr. Burgess rejoined, in few words,
which were not heard by the reporter.
Petitions were presented from boot and
shoe makers in. Philadelphia citi-
zens of Southwark and Moyamensing .
from Germantown and Bristol, Pa.--irom
a meeting of citizens in Ballinorc--irom
800 citizens Of Richmond, Va.--from
meeting in Bette Co. N. C.-from 33
citizens Of Kentucky-and from a meet
ing of citizens in Charleston, S. Call

ties, and most of them asking restoration
ofthe same. Also resolutions Of the Le-
gislature Of Kentucky to the same effect.
Also two petitions from the county Of
Erie, Pa. one in favor, and the other a.
gainst the removal. Most Of these petit
lions gave rise to a cursory debate.
The House then adjourned.
