Mr.. CLAY rose, and said he had a petition tn
present from the citizens Of u portion OF kentucky,
recommending the Colonization Society 10 the ia.
vorablc notice of Congress, and asking aid IN It's
behalf MI. L. said il WAS too late, he was aware,
for any action ON the petition N this SESSION, but
he would take occasion 10 remark that, after all
his experience and his observation OF the course OF
the Society, ms convictions rs to the utility OF this
great project remained without change and he
trusted that the Society would hereafter receive
larger portion OF the public favor than 1t had here
.oore enjoyed. At present, lie would merely
move to lay the petition on the table which was
agreed to-
On motion of Mr.. WEBSTER, the Senate pro-
cceded TO consider bill from the House, making
appropriations for certain Notifications.
MIR. CALHOUN moved To rccomm thu bill To
! ia
ground hat the lalrncss OF the session rendered 1t
impossible that the amour, can be expended this
season. Instead of three millions, he vas willing
to 90 far one million.
Mr.. CLAYTON explained, that the cause of
the increased appropriation was the failure ol the
appropriation bill Of last year lie wished 10 A.
mend the bill by addmga section prohibiting the
payment of any of the money 10 the dlSbursine OF
GcerS except SO fast as the progress of the works
rendered ii necessary.
MIR. CLAY thought the amendment plopr,
one. But he wished to cali the attention of the
Senate to the extraordinary appropriations made
a, tins session. The amount appropriated by the
bills passed. up to the 21lI instant, was twenty-five
millions ; the bills which had come IN since, COM
prlsed eight millions, making thirty three millions
and when the Indian appropriations, Tor the Cher
okecs and Creeks shall be added, the total n
mount will be from forfY 10 forfB-hre nions--a
sum larger than is expended by the British Go
vcrnmcnt, exclusive Of the interest and manage
ment of the public debt aud the pension list. He
reminded the Senator from New York (AIr.
WRIGnr) that he had estimated eighteen millions
as the maximum, and that the calculation Of the
Secretary of the Treasury was that the cNpendi
lures would be little than third Of the
present amount. How are we TO spend -four mil
lions and half during the season He had heard
that one OF the objects Of these appropriations was,
before certain bill which has been called for by the
voice of the country (he dcposite billy should 90

Treasury, and place them in banks where cxorbl-
tant interest can he made upon the Peoples mo-
ncv. lie expressed regret that the tor,iGcaon bill
of the last year had failed, but the failure OF lhat
bill did not render IT necessary In swell the appro-
priations in tins bill to such enorm extent.
lie called on the friends of the Administration to
think OF the country. llo did not wish see them
driven out of power by public INDIGNATION, although
he had no particular desire 10 them remain in
office. But he called them, for the sake of
themselves and tlicr party, To be careful 10
into effect the principles of reform which they laid
down at the outset of their career, aud to prepare
to Justify their conduct before the People.
Mr.. WRIGHT said that lac had hoped thi, bill
would not hive been resisted. lie recalled TO the
recollection OF the Senate that last year iorli-
ficalion bill had passed. and now hall oi another
session had passed away, and there is not dollar
appropriated. The appropriation for nGM ScS-
sion will not pass day before the Sd day of
March, and the public interests we're suffering. He
stated that there were included in this bill items
which should have been in the Army bill, not per
tanning to Notifications, but introduced into this
bill Tor convenience, 50 that the whole OF the sum
ought not not 10 be charged to the toriiticaonS
He presumed that the money could be expend-
in which men never were before. He did not OBJ
ice, TO the amendment of the Senator from Della
| ware.
Mr.. EWING, of Ohio, said that the amount APP
propriatcd by the bill was five times large as
we're the usual annual appropriations and nowilh-
standing the confident tone of the Senator from
New York, he did not believe that conld cxpcnd
all this money, although might as well throw it
away. lie stated that the appropriation bills had
not been delayed in the Senate. They had been
kept back elsewhere, and not here.
Mr.. CALHOUN then withdrew his motion to
enable Mr. CLAYTON TO offer his amendment.

Mr. CALHOUN renewed his motion to recon-
nit the bill with instructions to report bill appro
priating not more than sixteen hundred thousand
dollars.

which were ordered.
