that new ingenuity would be called into
action-ncw life given the labor-now
hopes called cut. Tho industrious man
would prosper as much with gold cur
rcncy as under mixed currency.
Mr. Calhoun said that he knew that the
states were greatly indebted, and they
were in debt from their folly and eX-
travagancc-nothing more. He hoped
they would not come upon the common
fund of the country for relief. In regard
TO :. Carolina, he would say upon this
floor, that she had spent thousands and
thousands upon as wild and as visionary
project as ever entered into the mind of
moral man. But his statc--hc spoke for
hcr-would sustain her credit. If not,
much as he loved her, and his affection
was greater than any thing on Gods
earth, he would abandon her. Mr. Cal
houn spoke for an hour or more, and was
followed by
MIR. Preston, of South Carolina. He
submitted to the Administration Senators
whether IN view of all that had been said
and done i t was proper to press the re-
port upon the Senate. All had expressed
the opinion that no assumption was pro-
posed here. Why then press the Re-
port! One Senator has said that a cir
cular was issued by mercantile house
in London. Another that New York
paper had preached the subect-and his
colleague had spoken Of the tariff and
the Public Lands. 1t was time enough
to discuss these subjects when they came
properly and directly before the Senate.
IIr Preston therefore moved that the Re-
port be laid uponthe table. The motion
wat lost, % to 10, by yeas and nays,
Mr. Grundy then moved that the report
be made the SPECIAL order Of the day for
Monday next. The motion was carried.
Mr. Benton moved the printing Of 30
Geo copies of it, Ohc ordinary number
having already been ordcrcd.)
Mr. Preston and Mr. Prentiss of VI,
opposed it upon the ground that the Re-
port would have bad tendency, and was
a good job for nobody but the printer to
the body.
Mr. Lumpkin Of Ga. said, that in con-
sequence of the commentaries which had
been made upon the report, he would
move the printing Of 10000 copies.
The yeas and nays were then ordered
upon the extra number, and the motion to
print was carried, 81 to Is.
In the House, memorials and petitions
were presented.
On the State of New jersey being
called in its geographical order, MIR. RAN
DoLPH, the only Representative from
that State who as yet has been admitted
to a seat in the House, rose and inquired
OF the Chair whether the Speaker had
received certain Joint solutions from the
Legislature Of the State Of New Jersey,
and, il so, whether it was his intention to
present them! And, ifnot, whether the
| Speaker desired TO state his reasons for
declining so to do? To this intcrrogato-
~, the SPEAKER responded that the Chair
had received certain resolutions of the
r Council and General Assembly of the
State Of New Jersey, addressed to him as
R0jcrt III. T. Umer, a Representative
from the State Of Virginia, which he had
declined to present for reasons set forth
in letter to Governor ltaaiRgto0. MI
RANDOLPH then made a motion to spread
upon the Journal and to print certain
joint resolutions, transcripts Of thost
above referred to- This motion gave
rise to debate, sudden and desultory, bu
Of a very interesting character, involving
a demand upon the Speaker to state tho
reasons or produce the correspondence
alluded to; Tor which purpose motion t.
suspend the rulc was submitted by MI
WISE. On this motion 10 question haC
+ been taken when the House consented tC
: an adjournment. The Reporter REGRETS
that he is compelled, for want of space
to postpone die publication Of the FIJI
: report he had prepared until Friday
