concludes report of Mr. Wise's (of Virginia)
speech on the HaIbor Bill with the following
note:
"Mr. w. said much more, which we are una
bic distinctly to report; for no sooner had he
alluded to the Presidential question, than a
sound pervaded the Hall like that of hive dis.
turbed, and much of what he afterwards said
was drowned and lost in the hum of private
conversation"
Mr.. Wise is not the only man in the House
who finds what he says drowned and lost IN
the hum of private conversation" In the same
debate, Mr.. Lane of Indiana said ne was
friend to the bill in toto; and he had voted to
Law it on the table only because he had appre-
hepded that the West had been treated unfair
ly. He must repeat his astonishment at the
course of the gentleman over the way. (Mr.
Hawes,) when his own Salt River
