In the House of Representatives, Feb A,
joint resolutions Of the Legislature of Yer
mont in relation TO the abolition of slavery,
annexation of Texas, &c.
Mr. Sladc took an appeal from the decis-
ion Of the Chair, which was decided without
debate I; and the resolutions, according TO
the decision, which was sutained, were laid
on the table,
Mr. Siade presented great number OF
petitions FOR the abolition of slavery. and a
gainst the annexation of Texas and for the
recognition of the independence of HAYTI.
He persisted in reading them over sever
ely, which OF course consumed great deal
of time of the House.
When he had finished, he asked leave
TO offer a resolution.
Objection was made, on the ground that
this was petition day and it was therefore
irregular TO offer resolutions.
iSiade asked tina, the resolution might be
read for Information. Cries mol Mol Nol''
were heaid in different quarters.
Gen. Thompson IFS. G. said, III no one
else objects do, pr,na facie, TO the reading
of any paper presented by the gentleman
from Vermont"
g"Thenn exclaimed Mr. Nc Kennon oil Pa.
IL call for the ayes and noes on the ques.
ton for leave 10 read | want to know
who will refuse the courtesy Of having the
paper read for information"
The Speaker said the subject could not
be brought before the House at all on this
day but by suspension Of the rules and
any member, undoubtedly, had right TO
r IL. T.
vote for or against the suspension.
"Readl Read Read" were the cries on
all sides. The Clerk began. The resolu-
ton referred 10 scene that was witnessed
here last week of about thirty negroes, hand
cuffed and chained who were marched along
before white driver, around, the Capitol.
AS soon as the allusion was understood. a
dozen Southern members rose to interrupt
the reading.
The resolution was returned TO Mr. SLade;
the Speaker informed him he would be
at liberty to present it, on Monday next
when resolutions would be called for.

TUESDAY, Feb. 5.


In the Senate the bill making appropria-
tions for the payment Of the Revolutionary
and other pensioners Of the United States,
was ordered to be engrossed for third read
ing. A motion was made TO reconsider the
vote by which the latter bill was passed,
which will be taken up tomorrow.
Mr. Wall, presented the credentials OF the
Hon. S. L. Southard reelected Senator

THE FLORIDA WAR.
Mr. Benton then called up his bill in rela.
ton to the armed occupation of Florida Mr.
Benton explained its provisions and defend
ed il at length The bill is one of great i'm
portance, involving gift of Land of the val
ue of more than million three hundred
thousand dollars. Ten thousand men are
to have each $40 acres Of the Public Land.
Mr. Benton, after defending the general
provisions ofihe bill, was followed by Mr.
Preston, at some length, in opposition TO the
bill. He considered ii impractlcable and at
tended with insurmounlable difficulties. He
thought it much better to send five thousand
soldiers at once into Florida TO drive the
Scminoes from the country than 10 adopt
such bill.
Mr. Benton reioined TO Mr. Patterson and
MIR Linn followed Florida, he said, could
be rescued from the Indians by one thou
sand men. but they must be men of pecu-
liar charactcr-ready to march through the
swamps and morasses. 10 encamp out, 10 lay
down in the water--to do any thing and ev-
cry thing connected with exposure.
A conversational discussion was con,inu-
ed at some length between Messrs Benton,
Preston nm Linn.
The Senate then went into an Executive
Session.
In the House of Representatives, the
morning hour was taken up in discussing
the unfinished business, being the report OF
Mr. Calnbre.cng. from the Committee oil
Ways and Means, showing the state of the
public Treasury. The House went into a
committee on the state Of the Union on the
bill making appropriations for the support
of the army After frequent and unsuccess-
ful attempts to amend the bill, it was report
ed to the House. which adjourned without
making any further disposition of it.
The Speaker laid before the House a num-
Der of Executive communications, among
which was letter from the Secretary OF the
Navy, stating, in an answer TO the call OF the
House oithe 28lh ultimo for copies Of GER
tain charges preferred by Samuel Etheridge
