committee to send for persons and papers; which re-
solution agreed to.
After other proceedings, for which we have room,
Mr.. BOLTS resumed his remarks in continuation oi
those Of yesterday As the majority ofthe committee
he said, had announced that they had nothing further
10 say on the subject, unless charges should
be made against them, and as he had no new charges
to make, but should conlnc himself 10 the old ones, he
thought it but right that he should have tie advantage
of closing this debate As the committee, however,
would not allow him this privilege, he should pro.
coed with lbs eIuarks. MIR then continued his ar
gument examining and commenting the journal ot
the committee, for the purpose Of sustaining the charge
that had been made by Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Jenttr,
and reluted by MIR. Brown Of Tennessee.

In the 2nd place, Gen Harrison proposes to extend
the powers Of the Federal Government to an enormous
degree-sending professors OF gymnastics .h'o eEr.s

involves an t5prnsc, that would be enormous, and
patronage that would inundae the country with fede

And in the Sd place, Gen. Fl. proposes to take the
command of the officers of the militia oul of the hands
of ,ha Crn,nors of the States; and placing them un
der the control of the President Of the U. s-From
