The opposition are at their old tricks
again. Their grea: game is to infame the
House into exciting debate on topics of no
real importance to the country, and on these
to consume day after day, with innumer-
able speeches against the administ ration
and those Immediately connected with it,
which must be answered, or silenced with
the previous question. Of this stamp are
the resolution of Mr.. Wise and the ha-
rangues which it has generated.
Such are the men and such the resolu-
tions that retard the transaction of the pub
lie business, and check the wholesome ac-
ton of Congress.

The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1836-12-28

LONG SPsEcnEs.-We copy the follow
ing article on long speeches from the Paw
tucket Chronicle, it contains much with
which we concur, aud we have little doubt
but the proposed remedy would have the
desired effect.
Mr.. Wise, in Congress, has just COM
menced the foolish practice of making very
long speeches. We believe that the con-
ductors of the press can abate the nuisance
of long speeches. IL they refused to pub
Iish them, an end would be put to the af-
fair at once, for congressional orators aim
at stamping an impression on the people,
not on Congress. Probably, the opinions
of no one member are ever altered by the
tedious harangues which are often inflicted
on Congress. No. The long windsd ora
tors sole aim is to have the monstrous ef.
fort of his geuius drag its slow, unwieldy
length through the columns Of every news
paper from Maine to Georgia. He has
then gained his point, and Of course passes
for great man
Let the printers exclude them from their
columns, and they will Immediately dry up
these fountains of wordy eloquence, and
save millions for the national treasury"

ERRArA.-We copied part Of our Con-
gressional News last week from the N. Y.
Courier and Enq.; and in TIE hurry of get
ting our paper to press did not notice, that
what we reported as Mr.. Pearce's amend
mcnt to Mr.. Wisc's resolution, was incor-
rect. The paragraph should read as fol-
lows:
Mr.. DUTEE J. PEARCE rose and nd
dressed the House at some length in op-
position to concurrence in the resolution,
lie concluded by moving to amend the
resolution by striking out all after the word

Resolved, That the Committee appoin-
ted to investigate the affairs OF the West
Point Academy, be authorised, by them
selves, or a sub committee, to visit the
Academy for the purpose mentioned in the
resolution under which they were appoin-
ted.
Mr.. Pearce, of Rhode Island, said he
should like to hear some special reasons
for the adoption of this resolution. For
himself, he was not aware of any informa-
tion to be obtained at West Point which
could not be procured in this city, at the
proper departments.
Mr. Hawes replied that, at the first meet
ing Of the committee, they unanimously
decided upon the course proposed III the
resolution just offered.
Mr.. Pearce wns not satisfied with the ex-
planation, for he wished to know the caus-
es and the reasons for recommending tina,
course.

enough of travelling committees, and NOV
ed to lay the resolution OH the table-whicl
motion prevailed by vote of 81 to 81.

A message was received from the Presi-
dent of the u. States, communicating GER
tain information in relation to the political
and civil condition of Texas. The message
goes at considerable length into review of
the considerations connected with the sub
ject, and concludes with the recommenda-
ton to wait. The message and documents
were referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations-and 1900 extra copies of the
message and documents ordered to be prin-
ted.
| Mr.. Swift offered bill providing for the
moral and religious instruction OF the Army
of the United States read first and sec
ond time and referred.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mr. Pickens rose aud stated that he un-
derstood there was a Message from the
President on the subject of our relations
with Texas. As It was an'important sub
ject, he hoped it would be now read. The
Message was then read, and on motion of
Mr.. Shepherd, of North Carolina, it was re-
fcrred to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions.
Mr.. Pickcns said he was willing for its
reference to the Committee of Foreign AZ
! fairs. That Committee represented the
views of the dominant party, by whom the
power of Government was possessed. He
was in hopes, he said, that the reference
would be accompanied with an understand
ing that the Committee would report as
soon as possible, consistent with the duties
of the Committee.
Mr.. Briggs, of Massachusetts, moved that
10000 copies be printed. Mr.. Pcarce, of
Rhode Island moved that 10000 be prin-
ted.
Mr.. WhittIesey was opposed to the prin-
ting of so many copies. Before the year
1929. there had never been more than 5000
copies of any document.
Mr.. Pearcc address the House in favor
of the largest number, which was finally
I agreed TO.
