Mr. Morgan rose amidst loud cries of

the indulgence of this House. In the
scramble which has been carried on to OBJ
tain the floor ever since the commencement
of the session, have hitherto been consent
to give expression to my opinions only by a
silent vote, believing that such course
best advanced the business of the House
and the interests ofmy constituents.
Nothing was further from my intention
than to address you at this time, and l
cannot but feel surprised that gentlemen
who have consumed day after day, and oc-
cuped so much of the valuable time of
this House, should now, for the first time,
cry out "question, question:" and evnce

tleman presently.
MIR. Smith. have not sung out ques-
ton to-day.
Mr.. Morgan will detain the Commit
tee, Mr.. Chairman, but a few minutes.
1t was not my intention to have risen,
nor should have done so but for the re-
marks which fell from the honorable gen
tleman from Maine, (Mr Smith.) He
has singled me out, or placed me out, or
placed me among the number of those
whom in elegant and courtly phrase, he
designates as the "piebald, streaked and
speckled party" Such is the chaste Ian
guage which the gentleman has applied TO
that party to which | have the honor to
belong; but assure the honorable men,
Der that cannot feel disgraced by any re-
marks or epithets which he may think
proper to apply to me in such connection.
He had denounced the Wings as the
Federal party, composed Of the old and
ultra federalists of the cockade stamp
This is novel and felcitous argument in
favor of the Treasury Note Bill, yet most
unfortunate in another respect, for it has
recalled train Of "reminiscences which
must be any thing but agreeable to many
honorable members political associates on
this floor.
When heard the remarks of the gen.
tleman, could not refrain from looking at
my honorable and distinguished colleague
from kinderhook. (Mr. Vanderpoel,) who
is recognised as one of the Administration
party, and do indeed think that the gen
tleman from Maine was rather personal in
his remarks, considering that my colleague,
who had the honor of being member OF
the Federal party, sat so near him.
